Weiss Delineates
Pacifism Despite
World Militarism

Stresses Ethical Argument
As_ Justification of
His Opinion



Common Room, Thursday, Febru-

_ ary 19.—‘Pacifism’ and ‘militar-
ism’ are not antagonistic opposites !

but: more or less facets of the same
thing,” said Mr. Weiss, speaking
to the Philosophy Club on Why I
am Pacifist. After sketching the
limitations of the religious, the
cynical, and the sentimental argu-
ments in gupport of pacifism, Mr.
Weiss pointed out the greater de-
gree of justification contained in
the ethical argument. According
to the latter view, society is di-
vided in order to work at bringing

about, at the same time, both im-'

mediate and longer range changes.
The two functions are almost of
necessity combined in every indi-
vidual, but the militarist, in-so far
as he is a militarist, is primarily
concerned with the immediate, the
pacifist with the long range.

Archaic Committees
Eliminated by Board
Of Undergrad Ass’n

With the purpose of eliminating
archaic committees, of bringing the
chairmen of the most vital commit-
tees into the policy-formation, and
of equalizing the responsibilities of
the class representatives, the Un-
dergraduate Association Board at
a meeting, Tuesday February 24,
rearranged the structure of the or-
ganization. The principal changes
made were in the transference of
the duties of the Entertainment,
Usher, and Common Room Com-
mittees to the junior members of
the board and of the Cut to the
Employment Committee.



In the future the first junior
member will be the social chairman
of the campus, arranging college
dances and tea dances, planning
activities for week-ends, managing
the projected social room in Good-
hart and working in close coopera-
tion with the-second junior mem-
ber, who will be in charge of sched-
uling and ushering. The manage-
ment of monitors and of the cut
system will become part of the job
of the Employment Chairman, who
now appoints student employees.

Entertainment Debt









The February meeting of the col-
lege council dealt chiefly with
problems of the Entertainment
Committee and Pay Day. The
$800 deficit incurred at the Dor-
othy Maynor concert has made the
Undergraduate Association feel
that at Bryn Mawr, where thea-
tres and-eoncerts are so available,
and where schedules are apparent-
ly so heavy, there is little demand
for expensive entertainment in
Goodhart. It was recommended
that instead of arranging in ad-
vance an elaborate .schedule of
speakers and musicians, the Enter-
tainment Committee plan for
events as they present themselves.
Plans-must-now~be~made to clear
the deficit, especially if the other
entertainments arranged for the
year, the Schola Cantorum and
Marian Anderson, are also going
to be financial liabilities.

The new Pay Day, with the Inn
and Book Shop bills omitted, while
relieving the Pay Day mistresses,
has increased the Book Shop's
troubles. .170 students failed to

bills. A committee is to be formed
to discuss a solution for this prob-
lem—possibly a student bank, or
some sort of deposit system.

The idea for'a big spring enter-
tainment has collapsed more or less
through lack of support from the
Players’ Club and the Glee Club.

New Colored Slides
Discussed by Sloane
In Art Club Lecture

Library, February 23. — Mr.
Sloane, at the request of the Art
Club, ‘showed some of the colored
slides which the Art Department
has acquired in the last two years.
Paintings were chosen from among,
the works of a few masters of the
centuries from the 13th to the
present, ‘

Mr. Sloane commented briefly
;upon the 20 slides shown, stating
‘the century, the artist, and the
‘subject or title of éach painting
‘designating styles and the particu-
lar characteristics of’ the artist.
He stated that colored slides are a
recent form of enjoyment; for only

photography become accurate. An

| The songs and dances, not the

‘show. That there was little em-

ithe good in a Freshman show; but
ithe audience roared at the inter-
pretation of pseudo-air-raid in-
structions and was delighted at the
prospect of Jackie Wilson’s becom-
ing a hat-check girl at the Nassau
Tavern. i

All of which distinguishes a show
already distinguished by the vital-
ity and ‘excellent direction of its
complicated dances. Especially ef-
fective were those of the Army and
the one contrasting the movements
of the Devils andthe Pretty Girls
in the second act. Another high
point was the costumes, especially
those of the Pretty Girls, who made
the last act an effective spectacle.

Characterization was at a mini-
mum. Jean. Franklin, as Hitler,
exhibited a magnificent goose step,
while Pat Plattf#as Miss Lanman,
and Mary Louise Field, as Made-
moiselle Brée, gave a very good
impression of the originals. These
were the—only -suecessful-faculty
imitations. Alice’ Macdonald as the
Junior Class baby was effectively
reminiscent of Shirley Temple.

Credit for coordinating the va-

this, and for infusing into it the
vitality. which put it over, goes to
Edith Dent, the director. But
hardly less can be given -to Kitty
Rand for the dancing, to Rusty

Mary Hackett for the elaborate

The Long Ranger

We wish to express to Mr. Weiss, of the philosophy depart-
ment, and to the Philosophy Club, our admiration and appreciation
of the talk presented to the college on ‘Thursday evening. Mr.
Weiss’s exposition of his “pacifist” position was skillful in method
and diverting in detail. We are his sincere debtors.

But we would like to enter an objection to the total impres-
sion left in the mind by Mr. Weiss’s statements. Though the dis-
cussion was primarily a philosophic one, and his intention, primar-
ily, to force each hearer to decide between two opposed positions,
Mr. Weiss failed to make clear the manner in which “pacifism”
contributes “militarism.” Let us restate his definitions.
tarists” are those who believe that they can serve others best by
devoting their energies to immediate action; “pacifists” those
whose contribution is to the long-range goals of society. The
pacifist, Mr. Weiss said, should not move from his sphere of
theory to enter the arena of contemporary action, for thereby he
denies the principle to which he is dedicated.

The security of the pacifist, Mr. Weiss admitted, depends
upon the protection afforded by him by a militaristic government,
which copes with the problems of contemporary life. But equally,
it seems to us, the welfare of both the. militarist and the pacifist
demands that in time of crisis the pacifist return this service, not
in kind, but with suggestions and conclusions as to how progress
can best, and immediately, be made toward the ultimate goals.
Mr. Weiss’s talk was, in itself, proof that at such times the pacifist
finds himself obligated to speak out, and not to explain his own
point, solely. His analysis, actually, was not only a justification for
militarism and pacifism, but an expression of reassurance and en-
couragement to the militarists in particular. .

We believe that this interpretation raises a connected objection
to Mr. Weiss’s corfdemnation of those men who, as college profes-
sors, have raised their voices to urge militaristic action, particularly
in this war, upon others; while they themselves are committed to
service of the pacifists’ long-range ends. The manifest fact that
such men have found it conscientiously necessary to express the
relation between present events and distant goals, that they have
“felt_a_ responsibility to-articulate-this relationship in times of par-
ticular stress, is not weakness, but a high strength. It is this
strength that, we believe, Mr. Weiss did not realize that he himself
possesses.



But Limited
Stern upholder of traditionalism, they say. But many Bryn

Mawr institutions stand in the vanguard of liberalism. The func-;

tion of the faculty in the government of the college, when deline-
ated by a plan for the government of the college made in May,
1916, was unique. In three respects it is still, to some extent,
unique. Rarely do other colleges or universities provide for faculty
representation on the Board of Directors; seldom do faculties par-
ticipate in the choice of a new president or dean; and not generally
do they have great influence in the choice of new professors.

To be sure, the three faculty members elected to attend and

take part in discussions at meetings of the Board’ of “Directors, |

In the recent election of a new president for the college, the
actual power of the faculty in the college administration was strik-
‘ingly set forth. At every point the faculty and directors’ nominat-
‘ing committees worked in unison and in cooperation, collecting
data, discussing, and consulting.



Although the faculty has no power in the decisions of~the
board, said Mr. Crenshaw, all board decisions, which are not mere
routine, are made only after thorough consideration of the faculty
viewpoint, as expressed by its representatives. In addition, re-
“quests involving additional_academic expenditure are_referred_to
ithe faculty before they are put into effect, while the executive
‘committee of the board confers with a faculty committee before
making out the college budget. Several faculty committees, nota-
bly the shop committee, which sees to the equipment and upkeep
of the labs, have direct access to the board. ;

According to the plan, the president is to consult the faculty
standing committee on appointments before making recommenda-
tions for reappointment or refusal of reappointment to the board,
and the committee must be consulted as far as possible on initial
appointments. The committee in turn is to “become familiar with
the teaching of the faculty and staff, to advise with the president
‘and, in general, to keep in touch with the academic work of the
college.” In practice, the president works in close cooperation
‘with the department concerned in making all initial appointments,
and recommendations of that department are the most influential
factor in the final selection. In reappointments, the department is
also influential, while the faculty committee exists merely to pre-
| sent the more general point of view. The most important and
‘powerful function of the latter is in connection with removals.
Because appointments, after the initial fixed term, are made. for
indefinite periods, academic freedom must be preserved by some
faculty check upon removals. These are made only after a con-
ference between the committee on appointments and a committee
of directors, the findings of which are drawn up for the considera-
tion of the board of directors, with which the final decision rests.
Charges are presented. to. the instructor.concerned, who is given a
fair hearing before the conference.

In regard to academic offenses, the senate, which consists of
the president, deans and a representative of each department, is
| supreme. It has the sole power to impose the most serious penal-
ties, to make recommendations concerning activities affecting aca-
|demic work, and to pass on cases of suspension or expulsion for
| non-academic reasons over, which the president of the college has
the control.

Dear COLLEGE NEWS:

As I had expected, from the ex-

knew more about what went on
down here while the Meeting of
Foreign Ministers was being held
than I--did. For, from ~ reports
which come back from the United
States, notably extracts from the
Times: and from the Washington
Post, I find that quite a number of
things got by unnoticed while I
was giving my attention to prob-
lems immediately before me.

But I can at least report an item
or two about the new “Inter-Amer-
ican Juridical Committee’ which
takes the place of the now defunct
“Neutrality Committee”. There
was considerable discussion as to
the membership of the new Com-
mittee. The United States, look-
ing to the larger functions to be
given to the new Committee, had
introduced a project calling for a
larger body of 21 members, one to

‘be appojnted by each, of the Ameri-

can Republics. Other delegates,

Mr. Weiss Discusses
Why I Am a Pacifist

an accentuation of a process which
is going on all the time. It is with
this process of rapid, temporary
change that the militarist is con-
cerned in peace as well as in war,
although,. since he fights for ulti-
mate objects, he is not completely
immersed in the immediate. The
only«contradiction between militar-
ism and pacifism occurs when the
author, the teacher, the philoso-
pher, give up preoccupation with
the development of civilization to
devote their energies’ to the con-
summation of a war.
Individual Decision

The ethical pacifist holds that
the decision between pacifism and |
militarism is an ethical one to be
decided by each man for himself.
His position is one to understand,
not an object for conversions. The
number of pacifists of this type is
naturally so small as to be innoc-
uous. If the movement becomes
strong, it is as a movement, unnec-
essary. But there is a stage be-
tween weakness and strength
where it may be strong enough to

Four Objections

There are four objections to
the ethical argument which may
be termed, said Mr. Weiss, the
“Kow Tow,” the “Pow Wow,” the
“Bow Wow,” and the “Ow Ow”
_arguments. The first is the view
that is the duty of the citizens
to submit to the state, once the
state has decided upon war, Con-
sidering that the state exists
for the citizen, it is unjustified.
The “Pow Wow” argument, that

the minority must. submit to the!

iseore stood 27-27.

| The Bryn Mawr Reserves con-
‘tinued to defend their undefeated
record when they emerged with a
victory of 30-24 over Ursinus and
lof 26-19 over Pennsylvania. Of
the forwards, Gifford, °45, and
Kirk, ’44, starred in the former,
and Finger, ’42, in the latter game.
The guards were all on their toes
in the Ursinus game, but, like the
forwards, were not accurate in
their ball-handling. Pennsylvania

question of the size of the Pow

kind? Since war is the concern of
all mankind the individual must
recognize his responsibility to so-
ciety as a whole.

and everyone should concentrate
on catching it. But should every |
one chase the mad dog? Should
not some stay home to take care of
the children, and some watch to see
that the house does not burn down?
The last, the “Ow Ow” argument,
if true, is the only valid argument
against ethical pacifism. Civiliza-
.tion. is in peril, according to this
argument, and the help of every
man is needed’ to preserve it. But
at present, said Mr. Weiss, this is
not a true statement of the case.

Arguments Limited’
The.ethical argument, unreput-
able on any of these grounds, rec-
ognizes the limits of the religious,
the cynical, and the sentimental
bases of pacifism. The religious

one, which holds that the God of |

love and mercy, conserves all that
is good and man on his side must
not engage in the destruction of
natural goods is based on an in-
complete interpretation of the Bi-
ble which depicts as well a God of
revenge and war. Only in mystic-

Agreement between
Governor James and the Executive
Director of the Social Security
Board added fuel to the contro-
versy. Miss Fairchild commented
that she was present at this discus-
sion and that there was a “genuine
misunderstanding” between the
two sides.

On February 1st the Federal
Government finally withdrew its
grant of funds. The Governor,
crying. that Pennsylvania had be-
come “the Singapore of the States”
‘appealed ,to the President. Al-
though Presidential intervention
was probably the cause of James’
capitulation, on February 17th, it
is coincidental that Miss Fair-
child’s protest resignation occurred
just two days previously. “TI ,re-
signed,” she stated, ‘‘Because I feel
‘that the Social Security law should
be interpreted in favor of the Fed-
eral Government. Governor James
| doesn't. And he should be permit-
ited to appoint someone in agree-
| ment with his policies.”” Although
i this conflict has beén suspended for
,the duration of the war, it will no
,doubt, Miss Fairchild declared, be
‘a vital issue in post-war politics.
“You can see,’ she added, “that
while a Bryn Mawr student of pol-
itics might view States rights only
in the light of historical interest,
the question is far from academic.”

Just as the Spanish Fascist Con-!

Spanish Fascist “artist”? of the

The picayune palaver of both:

Miss Mann and Mr. Taylor about

or otherwise from such perform-
ances. Yet the use of Strauss’ |
name in connection with the play-
ling of his music would tend to/|

that the playing of Sibelius two|
years ago tended to serve the in-
terests of Baron von Mannerheim,
and also in the same way that the
performance and identification of
the works of Latin American com-
posers on North American pro-
grams serve to cement cultural

unity of American democracy.



But it must be made unmistak-
ably clear that the words Nazi and
German are not the same, and
when we draw the line against the
works or performances of Nazis we
do not reject the magnificent, con-
tributions of the great Germans
who represent the trend of enlight-
enment and freedom. The drum
beats of fate in Beethoven’s Fifth
Symphony have already been ac-
claimed as the theme of Freedom’s
Fight to Victory. And to confuse
thé issue by putting Beethoven in
the same category with Richard
Strauss is to imply that all Ger-
mans are Nazis—a palpable false-
hood. It is criminal nonsense to
propose that a ban be placed on
the works of all German, Italian
and Japanese artists, composers
and musicians. It is equally crim-
inal folly to ignore the fact that
certain individuals of these na-

tionalities are definite representa- |

tives of Fascism and to fail to
draw the proper-conclusions.

three dimensional form, which is
not altogether accurate. Also the

this somewhat changes its effect.
