Discuss Labor School



Virginia Nichols and Charlotte
Hutchins. spent this summer as-
sisting the staff of the Hudson
Shore Labor School. The school,

once located on the Bryn Mawr
campus, has been, for twenty years,
offering courses to woman workers.
But the school is not an academic
one. Its entire emphasis is in
breaking down the barriers of
prejudice, in gathering and ap-
plying information, in stimulating
clear thinking and in making de-
mocracy meaningful.

The prevalent spirit of the
school was a spontaneous sense of
co-operation, of practical demo-
cratic living. The workers were
drawn from all over the country

and from Canada as well. Many
industries, many opinions, many
religions and races. were. repre-
sented. Experience and _ back-

ground varied; ages ranged from
twenty to thirty years. Some of
the girls had never gone to high
school. One attended law school
at night. On the whole, about 50
per cent were union members, and

Miss Rice Continues

Work With Quartet

Miss Helen Rice, warden of
Rhoads Hall-in-’38-’40, has-returned
this year to direct the string
quartets which she organized two
years ago. She will be at college
each week from Sunday till Tues-
day, and will be staying in room
24, Rockefeller. Last Sunday at
ten-thirty Miss Rice and five stu+
dents played in Goodhart for the
first time this year. These infor-
mal Sunday morning concerts will
be continued all winter.

On Mondays and Tuesdays Miss
Rice will have practice groups for
players of varying ability. The
most outstanding addition to the
group this year is Judith Stephen,
an English graduate student, who
plays the oboe. The ensemble will
play on Saturday night of the

Translations Become Weird and Wordy

As the German Oral Rolls Around Again



wt By aanae “Martin, | 143 T

As it is now technically autumn,
everything from the weather to
the intellect should be cool and
keen. But autumn has seemingly
not yet come into her own on the
Bryn Mawr Campus, for, last Sat-
urday when the German Oral was
taken, there were distinct traces of

the lazy, stupefying days and-ways

of summer. The deteriorating ef-
fect of these traces is clearly evi-
dent in the following translations

~ Of various passages on the Oral.

For example, the feather episode:
“By chance, he noticed on the
skin of a new born a feather which,

groups, had to come from a fowl or

Proceeds of Benefit
To Aid Great Britain

A Bryn Mawr benefit on a large
scale will be held on October 30.
The proceeds will purchase a Brit-

of the benefit is as yet but a mys-
terious shadow. It does promise,
however, to contain attractions of
a musical nature.

The benefit will be held in ac-
cordance with the plans of the
British - American Ambulance
Corps. These have already been
met by the overwhelming enthusi-
asm of many American schools and
colleges who wish to help fill this
critical need of the British nation.

President—Park,-in-her—address~at
the opening Chapel of the fifty-
sixth academic year of Bryn Mawr

College, spoke of the necessity of
maintaining, in these times,. our
belief in the civilized life. Practi-
cal action must. be taken: we must
“act quickly to prevent such civil-
ization as we now have from dis-
appearing at the hands of the to-
talitarian-group of states”; but we
must, with equal determination,
“sharpen our minds to work over,
to strengthen and to broaden our
only road to our only end—the
processes of democracy.”

_We have returned to a college
improved in facilities and in op-
portunity, but we cannot stand
apart from the events which have
brought our country to the edge of
war. To those for whom the civil-
ized life is an ideal, democracy of-
fers only a procedure which will
bring about “a certain desired and
desirable kind of life” for our-
selves and others. The totalitarian
states also employ processes, but to

a different end—an end which is

Under the point system, approved
by the callege, no student may
hold offices exceeding forty points.

No exceptions will be allowed
this year although a few have been
made in the past. By such rigidity
in the rule, undergraduates will be
able to ayoid. embarrassing situa-

Quickly Develops

Freshman Horde Deseends on Bryn Mawr;

Precocious Individuals



By A. M. Ellicott, ’42

Last week a verdant freshman
approached a member of the wel-
coming..committee, and asked with
deference and humility where she
could find some seniors. The wel-
comer answered. with customary
upper-class frankness, “I’m terribly
sorry, but there aren’t any. They
have all graduated.” She was
quite right.
horde of newcomers has descended
upon the campus and has - an-
nounced that they are Aa. class of
1944."

They arrived en masse on Thurs-
day, looking much too frivolous ‘to
be Bryn Mawr students. One
wandered dreamily into a smoking
room the first evening and asked,
“Do you think I -can really get

giving?” Another was overheard
to remark to a companion, “Do you
see all those naked seniors? Vogue
says that you must wear knee-
length socks.”

Some, however, were ready to
learn. One, standing in Rhoads’
main hall, carefully inquired the

Rhoads’ North. Another was
found quietly putting herself to
bed one night by flashlight. She
thought it was against, regulations
to keep lights barat after ten-
thirty.

Some freshmen are showing a
tendency toward pernicious pol-
itical practices. One stationed her
young and very engaging brother
at the door of the Dean’s office,
primed with a pocketful of Willkie
buttons, which he thrust upon all
comers. A Roosevelt partisan re-

flourishes a Landon badge instead,
as the most subtle form of devas-
tation she can think of.

found impression on the fresh-
men. One was indignant when her

was signing out correctly. “Sure,”
she said, “That braided dame gave
me permission.”

absorbed the Bryn Mawr ‘philoso-
phy remarkably well. One, hit the

Nicholas Miraculous
On Thursday, October 3, Dr. Butler, president of Columbia,
denied a principle of education._In-a special meeting of the college
faculty, Dr. Butler declared that any one whose convictions were
opposed to the university’s “lofty aims” should resign. He con-
tinued to say that academic freedom was non-existent for students
and was to be used by the faculty only so far as it agreed with the

university’s goal of service to the-government “in the war between
8









beasts and: men.”

We look to universities as havens for freedom of thought.
This liberty is not one to be dictated but essentially belongs to the
individual scholar, No aim of any university can be so lofty as
to displace the goal of freedom of thought.

Dr. Butler is not the only one guilty of this offense. Any
undergraduate may be equally, open to criticism if she bars this
principle of academic freedom from her own mind. We must
form opinions one way or other today and those who “sit on the
fence” are escapists. But once we have formed an opinion, we
must continue to test honestly opposing argiiments and allow them
access to our minds, To have an open mind is to maintain the
basic principle of education,



Please! y
Last year the collective drive for campus activities was an
expegiment. We hope it becomes an institution,
To be a success, the drive makes one demand—that everyone
must co-operate to the best of her ability. Those who have more
than the eleven dollars asked, should give more. Those who cannot
afford eleven dollars should give what they can afford. The bene-
fits resulting from thesdrive—such as free plays, removal of pledge
cards, League work, and aid to charities—are common’ benefits.
No matter how small the contribution is, it adds to the total sum
and the donor who has given ‘what she can afford has paid her
share of the general fund,
If the college does not unanimously support the collective
drive, the old system of individual campaigns for all organizations
and charities must ‘return.

The time to go is before the

on dusty couches, jump _on_has-

dozen.

The front room is a tired girl’s
paradise—row on row of day beds
pushed together to form one tre-

to walk dreamily across their soft

WILLKIE

This campaign is not a contest



between the Democratic and Re-
publican parties; it is not a contest

between radically opposed political
platforms.

One fundamental question which
confronts the American people in
this campaign is, “Shall we, at a
time when democracy is threatened
all over the world, break a tradi-
tion which has for 150 years pre-
served democracy in the United
States.”

virtue. of truth, or the inferiority |
some girls feel. For example, in
the cardboard box section (boxes,
with drawers for putting shings)-

writing the Constitution, one of
their prime concerns was_ the
length of office and another the re-
striction on the power of the execu-

ROOSEVELT

This column has been magnani-
mously granted us in order that we
may present the case for President

Roosevelt’s reelection. Unques-
tionably, the issues of the ‘cam-
paign, which we will discuss in sub-
sequent articles, demand definition.

We do not find the issues to lie
in the lip service of either candi-
date, but in the past records and
attitudes of both men as regards
the following pressing problems:
Foreign policy, preparedness and
the preservation of democracy in
the face of encroaching totalitari-
anism; industrial concentration,
monetary policy, labor, agriculture
and social reform.

All these, in our confident opin-
ion, are closely related to the
changing economic fabric of the
country. In 1933, large-scale in-
dustry, after inevitable growth and
a hey-day of buccaneering meth-
ods, could no longer maintain itself
under a competitive system. A top-
heavy economic structure, with
two-thirds of the country’s wealth
owned by two percent of its popu-
lation, capsized in the storm of de-
pression.

The sphere of Government had
to ‘be extended to meet these his-
torical changes and to institute re-
forms of the economic system. Un-
precedented unemployment and
labor distress demanded social leg-
islation. The New Deal was the
result of President Roosevelt’s rec-
ognition ‘of the trend and needs of
a changing industrial set-up.

We list some achievements of the
New Deal: '

Corporate profits rose from an
annual loss, in 1932, of 5,500,000,-
000 dollars to an annual profit, in
1937, of nearly 5,000,000,000 dol-
lars—taxes deducted.

Industrial production has doubl-
ed.

The national income has increas-
ed 75%.

Factory labor has increased
over 50%, while factory payrolls
have risen more than 100%.

The cash income of farmers has
been raised from 4,500,000,000 dol-
lars in 1932 to 8,500,000,000 dol-
lars in 1989.

Among the reforms which this
administration has succeeded in es-
tablishing as permanent are:

Federal Housing

has not solved the complications in- |
herent in the taxation method. But,

“Miss. Northrop declared, Mr. Will-
kie has not shown that he has even
recognized. the complications. His
one concrete proposal was the es-
tablishment, after he was elected,
of a commission to study the prob-
lem. In other
Northrop, he is not yet ready to
declare his stand. Furthermore, a‘
commission composed of some of
the best tax experts in the country
was set up in
months ago.

The Seattle speech dealt in part
with the power issue which Willkie
failed to hit clearly or directly, He
failed to go into the problem of
public utilities as an industry with
heavy capital outlay which pro-
duces services at decreasing costs
and results in cutthroat competi-
tion.

The sum total of the Grand Rap-
ids~speech was that the road to
prosperity is production. The prob-
lem of prosperity and. production
involves the whole business cycle
to which economists have never yet
found a solution, and though Mr.

. Willkie attacked the New Deal ap-
proach to the problem, he failed
to offer a substitute.

The speech of September 25 was
devoted to agriculture. Mr. Will-
kie accepted some five principles of
the New Deal, but conspicuously
failed to mention the problem of
crop control, the center of conflict
as far as the New Deal is con-
cerned. The question is dependent
upon the existence or non-existence
of foreign markets. Mr. Willkie
did not touch this subject.

During the summer, the Repub-
licans have shown trends towards
high protective. tariffs and away
from the New Deal trade agree-
ments program. .The choice be-
tween these two methods is especi-
ally important with regard to the
reorganization of world’ economy
after the war.

The speech at Pittsburgh con-
cerned labor. Mr. Willkie first de-

clared himself in favor of collect- |

ive bargaining. This stand was

ba! Bry n as Republicans Attend Willkie R: Rally; :

By Susie Ingalls, °41

Two bus loads of Willkie sup-

| Porters and one or two new dealers
left Bryn Mawr for Philadelphia
‘last Friday evening to hear

the,
| Republican candidate for president
lof United States speak. Although
ithe drivers were third-termites,
they were Willkie men at heart
‘and helped paste signs all over the
ibuses.. The party arrived at Shibe
‘Park stadium early and scattered
{in small groups around the bleach-
jers. Foureseniors greatly prefer-
red the reserved seats surfounding
|the speaker’s stand in the center of
the stadium. With one black fox
cape as the lure, the necessary
tickets were obtained. They were
passed through the wire fence by
a cop and a little blue-suited poli-
tician. “That’s all right,” said the
cop, “just don’t tell or I’ll be black-
balled.”

For a short time the band played
political tunes. Then began the
preliminary rounds—Senator Pep-



promptly negated by seven listed
/points involving proposed changes.
|He declared for the> decentraliza-
tion of the administration of the
National Labor Relations Act and
its return to the states. The
strength -of labor comes from its
nation-wide vertical structure. A
division according to states would
interfere with its power of collect-
ive bargaining.

In dealing with the question of
defense Miss Northrop stated that,
whoever was elected president, de-
fense would be paramount during
the administration. If defense is
to be speeded up, there must be a
taking over of power by the gov-
ernment. Consequently some of the
slowing down processes which are
also the democratic processes, must
go. Willkie has recognized this
problem. With defense entailing a
speeding up of production, jobs
will be created regardless of which
candidate is elected.

Student Conference
Discusses Democracy



Commissions Treat Neu trality,
Boost Individual Rights
And Unions



A confedence on the
of ‘Students the

of Democracy,” sponsored by the
International Student Service, was
held at International House in New
York from September 9 to 11. Mrs.
Roosevelt opened the conference,
pointing out that it is our responsi

bility to learn about world condi-|

tions, to seek to learn what makes
struggle worthwhile, and then to
stand firmly for what we believe.
“Youth has vision and the faith to
start great things Always
keep a beacon ahead and when you
reach it find a new one and keep
on.” ‘
Archibald Macleish, speaking on
the ‘second day; demonstrated the
difficulty of upholding a “democ-
racy,” when we are not united in
our understanding of its meaning.
ye have neither a: common goal
or a frontier country into which
we can expand. We have instead
an industrial society in which we
must find new outlets for our en-
ergies.

The mornings of the second and
third day were spent in commission
sessions. The first commission was
mainly coricerned with the problem
of America’s place in a world at
war. The general feeling was that
this war is due to a combination of
factors, and that its nature is im-
perialistic as well as ideological. It
was held by some that the current
British struggle was the real issue
and that aid to England is not in-

consistent with democracy, that in.

fact we had already cast in our lot
with that nation. Others believed
that our defense lay in encourag-
ing democracy in this hemisphere
by friendlier relations with South
America,

A discussion of the nature of de-
mocracy produced this conclusion:
“We have discovered that we do

not know what it is, we are not
- sure that we have it, or if anyone
else ever had it, and the only con-
crete suggestions wé have to offer
are the somewhat professionally
tinctured ones of more education,
the humanitarian ideal of a higher
standard of living, and the awak-
ening of interest in the affairs and
the future of this nation.”

The third commission suggested

maintenance and extension of our

‘the opposition to the persecution of
trade unions by the government

organization of unions in all fields.
The rights of students and faculty

But in the midst of dozens of
raging individual snake dances,
Phyllis White, ’48, made the sopho-
mores a new song which saved the
day. As the song evolved the
sophomores added more words to
their screams and yells of “Scram
freshmen, scram freshmen,” at
first sung in all keys and to all
tunes.

After the fray, Jinx Reggio, ’43,
gave up some of the inner dope
concerning it. _“‘They--even—used
the real tune as a decoy,” she said.
“Ten people told us it was On Wis-
consin and we wouldn’t believe it.”
For a while speculation ran high
that the song was God Bless Amer-
ica due to the untiring efforts of
in
Rhoads. A sophomore, posing as
a late-arriving freshman, was giv-
en to the wily girl to be shown
around, and was taught a whole
false set of words to the wrong
tune. “That freshman did us dirt,”
roared Jinx.

Felix Morley Speaks

At Main Line Forum



On Thursday night, before a
mixed group of Young Republi-
cans, Young Democrats, and Young
Fence-Sitters, Dr.
president of Haverford College,
spoke at the Ardmore Y. M. & W.

C. A. on “Becoming a Voter in a
Democracy.” Mr. Wells was tem-

Felix Morley,





porary chairman of the meeting, i"

the first in a scheduled Political
Forum.

Speaking with comfortable Mor-
ley informality, Dr. Morley stress-
ed-the—need--for—dramatization—of
the step of becoming a voter. The
community-parades of new voters
that are now held on a small scale,
should, he feels, be extended
throughout the country.

Dr. Morley observed that his
generation had been lax in this
dramatization. The result was that
potential new voterg, were over-
casual about voting, or even regis-
tering.

Going behind the title of his talk, |

Dr. Morley proceeded to develop
the point that merely voting is not
enough. The privilege of the vote
carries with it the duty to go fur-
ther than the vote, into active poli-
tical work. Essential for democ-
racy is true community participa-
tion in local self-government.

Discussion from the floor follow-
ed Dr. Morley’s talk. The problems
of local corruption in politics that
were brought forth emphasized Dr.
Morley’s point: there is need for
citizen cooperation and pressure in
the administration of the small,
and basic government. units.

No Comment to Make



By Alice Crowder, °42

“No comment to make,” Jocelyn
Fleming, ’42, protested with pro-
fessional zeal when questioned con-
cerning her recent debut into the
headlines. Her, public career may,
perhaps, date from October 1, when
the Herald Tribune printed an ar-
ticle asserting that Joce, whose
father is Federal Wage and Hour
Administrator, had “committed po-
litical treason”. and with “third

term abhorrence,” “bolted” to Will- ,

kie by resigning her position as
president of the Bryn Mawr Young
Democratic Club to become charter
member of the Willkie Club.

“My dad called me up the next
‘For gosh sake if |

day and said,



yy .
anyone asks you anything, just say

you have no comment to make,’ ”
Joce laughed. Since then, she has
jumped when spoken to and mut-
tered at intervals, “No comment to
make . . no comment to make.”

“They asked me what color eyes
and: hair I had and then half of
the time called me Jean,” she com-
plained. However there were com-
pensations. She has received a
posteard from a clipping agency
offering to send her, as an impor-
tant person in the news, all the ar-
ticles about herself for the nominal
sum of twenty-five cents. “And
the Atdmore Willkie Club has me
on thelr bulletin board,” Jécelyn
proudly concluded as she left pro-
saically for the movies.

Faculty Use Vaention
For Continuing Work



By Marguerite Bogatko, ’41

During the long summer months
while undergraduates are busy re-
covering from the academic year,
the faculty really gets down to
work. Even the travellers seem
to manage a combination of busi-
ness with pleasure.

The general trend this summer
was to go west. Miss Marti made
a crocs country cruise with Debbie
Calkins and Caroline Garnett.
Also present was Kitty Hemphill,
who was collecting snakes for Cor-
nell as she went. Slung from the
roof of the-car were two. baskets,
one filled with moist frogs and the
other with lizards. Snakes, dead
and alive, contributed to the gen-
eral gaity of the trip.

Miss Lake and Miss Wycoff
drove 75,000, miles covering Yel-
lowstone Park, Salt Lake City and
the Grand Canyon. -Miss Taylor,
who. has just returned from her
sabbatical ‘leave, has also been
west, Since April. 1 she has been
working ‘at Berkley, California, on
a new book. ' ;

Mr. Weiss bought a house in
Vermont, worked on The Nature
of Man, and read a paper on “God
and the World” at .a New York
conference on “The Unity of Sci-
ence, Philosophy, and Religion in
Relation to’ Democracy.” Mr.
Sprague worked on ‘his current
book, went to fifteen or sixteen
baseball games, and also visited an
equal number of Boston bookshops.

Many of the faculty remained
quietly in Bryn Mawr. Oothers
either refuse to disclose their sum-
mer whereabouts or could not be
found in their fall hangouts.

Roosevelt Club

The Democrats for Roose-
velt met for the first time on
October 1. By a unanimous
vote, Eileen Durning, ’41,
was elected president and
Mabel Faesch, *41, secretary.
A motion to call the club the
Roosevelt Club was made and
passed.







the, material was related to the
problems of the group.. In discus-
sing labor problems, for instance,
‘he personal experiences of the
girls were fitted into the pattern
of labor ‘history as a whole. Trade
union tactics amd social psychology
were taught ih this connection.

In Science, biology and health
problems were stressed, and scien-
tific thinking emphasized. It was
an especially . valuable field for
pointing up the distinction between
fact and opinion. ;

In dramatics the girls worked on
living newspapers, and were sur-
prised that a convincing play
could spring into being so natur-
ally and so quickly. Some girls
found they could write, and pub-
lished their work in the school’s
yearbook.

The class in journalism published
a newspaper which the students
wrote and edited, and whose aim
was to develop a direct journal-
istic style, and to practice gather-
ing and assembling labor news.
Classes in public speaking held
forums on varied aspects ~of de-
mocracy.

Daily current event talks were
given, recreation was organized,
field trips were taken. Mrs. Roose-
velt gave a picnic for the school.

plemented the program.

Virginia Nichols assisted in sci-
ence while Charlotte Hutchins
helped ‘with recreation. The two
Bryn Mawr staff members report
that their experience was a definite



operation.

Miss Reid gave a brief resumé
of the-summer events of the Euro-
;pean War. The danger of an in-
ivasion of Britain has been much
| decreased. by British bombing of
, German supplies and bases, but it
lis still a possibility. Germany is
‘now trying other means of break-
ing British resistance as mani-
'fested by the announcement of the
Rome-Berlin-Tokyo agreement.

An official Italian statement to-
day declares that if the United
States wishes to take over Mexico
and Canada, the totalitarian pow-
ers do not object~but that—Ameri-
¢an interference in Great Britain
must cease. This indicates how
'much the axis fears out aid to
Britain.

The concentration on the Near
Eastern campaign is important. be-
cause of the oil issue. If the war
is to be a question of resources,
'Germany, which has no oil within
her own area, must have access to
a large supply. Control of the
Suez Canal would put the Iraq oil
fields within her reach.

In reviewing the foreign policy
of the United States during the
past summer, Miss Reid empha-
sized the Havana Conference, “a
triumph of American diplomacy.”
This puts into treaty form ideas
\inherent in the Monroe. doctrine:

Frechatan: Glaiows
Captivates Haverford



By Patricia McKnew, °43
The invading army. of Haver-
ford. freshmen and talent. scouts
from the upper classmen sounded
like a blitzkrieg on the march, as

.they passed Shipley en route to

Bryn Mawr for the square dance.
Shipleyites were snapped by a
Haverford flashlight camera while
craning out of their windows for

sight of the long-missed male. HH

At Rock arch torches were lit“by
many of the group, and catcalls
and whistles replaced the previous
roars. When they entered the
gym most of them took quick
re‘uge on the balcony. until they
caught sight~ of. the: glamorous
group of Bryn Mawr freshmen be-
low who used their eyes in a prog
fessional way. -Down they came
and the fun began.

Toward the end, the Floor Com-
mittee which had been very active
in pushing along local * romances,
lined the gals up on one side of the
room and the boys onthe other.
Then the gals were told to chase
their men. Some of the boys fol-
lowed their partners. desperately
‘o as not to run the risk of being
chown up as a “wall-weed” when
the mad shuffle was over.

Class rings and other plunder

area and the right offinterference

Maids’ Classes
This week slips will” be

teaching experience. Among
the subjects offered are po-
etry, German, typing, poster
making and biology.

citing evening, and the Bryn Mawr
freshmen couid have had a very
considerable class huddle at the
Haverford vic dance the next
night. The football team, which
largely consists of freshmen, also

*spired to have charged through
