Getting Jobs Needs
Definite Technique,
Says Mrs. Gilbreth
Sees Increasing Opportunities
In Non-Productive Fields

~~
The Deanery, November 5. — An
ability to do work of high quality, a
readiness to work hard, and the power
of adaptability are the most desirable
qualities for any type of -vocation,
said Mrs. Gilbreth, in her informal
‘speech to the seniors and a few grad-
‘uate students. Opportunities
steadily increasing now, especially in
“non-productive” fields such as per-
sonnel work, which has had to be cur-
tailed in past years.
stores are eager to take on new peo-
‘ple, and there are great possibilities
for working to. the top, if one is pre-
pared to lead a hard and demanding
life at first.
There is a definite technique which
can be used in looking for a job, and
it is a good idea, if possible, to gain
practice by spending a few days dur-
ing a vacation in being interviewed
for one job or another even if one is
not ready to take the work. Poise
and ease of manner are essential, and
one should go to an interview with a
list, either mental or actually on
paper of all one’s assets. An inter-
viewer. usually wishes to know about
the background and experience of an
applicant, and many things which
seem unimportant may be exactly the
sort of thing which is needed in the
position. One must be ready to tell
~of-extra-curricular “activities, the lan-
guages one is familiar with, and to
answer pleasantly all questions,
whether or not they may sound im-
pertinent. An interview is always a
helpful experience.
Secretarial work, as* an end in it-
self, or as an entering wedge, is inter-
esting. and as a field is not too
overcrowded. Teaching should be con-
sidered as a life-work, and not merely
as a last resource. Here one’s non-
academic interests are important and
a girl must face real competition from
active young men who are making
teaching their chief interest. Appren-
ticeship is valuable training, to ease
one into the work, and to give one
practice under the most favorable con-

NUCLEUS HEARS TALK
ON FILM DEVELOPMENT
Undergraduate Room, November 10.
—At the first afternoon lecture meet-
ing of the Nucleus, campus camera
organization, Mr. _ Walter Michels
spoke to a small but enthusiastic
group on the Theory and Practice of
Development, outlining the principal
methods, and concluding his talk with
an actual demonstration.
Following the lecture a short busi-
ness meeting was held, at which Mar-
garet McEwan, ’39, was elected secre-
tary-treasurer. The possibility of
using a room in the basement of Tay-
lor for developing and printing is
being investigated.
The next meeting of the Nucleus
has been tentatively set for Novem-
ber 17, at which time a demonstration
of printing will be given. The mem-
bers 6f the club have decided to meet
on alternate Tuesdays, instead of
weekly as was at one. time planned.
Billet Doux Cause Breathless Silence _
Among Participants of Scavenger Unit
Gymnasium, November 7. — The
scavenger hunt, given by the seniors
for the freshmen, was not only suc-
cessful but revealing, mainly of the
love letters, but also of freshmen in-
genuity. in deceiving the judges.
Nine teams of six freshmen started
from the Gym at 8.30 Friday evening
and returned at 9.30 with a rare as-
sortment of God’s creatures and manu-
factured objects.
The list of miscellany was devised
by Elizabeth Washburn, ’37, and
a committee. The judges who exer-
cised their jurisdiction altruistically
were Miss. Gardiner, Mr. and Mrs.
Max Diez and Mr. Watson.
The period devoted to the reading of
the love letters was worth the whole
evening. Each team was obliged to
bring a billet doux, preferably genu-
ine, and the denizens of the Gym were
breathless. Unfortunately names
were scratched out so that there is
no reference on hand for the follow-
ing “best blurb” of the evening.: “It
was such wicked fun, you delightful
seducer of susceptible men.” The
French lettre d’amour sounded more
like a midwestern college man who
-..had once taken French than a wicked
“——soveign@it-—_. ‘TEMS+?”">-cafiéFe que
vous trouverez quelqu’un y vous don-
nera tous l'amour que vous ne voulez
that universal je ne sais quoi. (But
this column does not profess to be a
court of love.) One freshman cer-
tainly put away her pride when she
produced a letter which ended “to the
girl who smiled in vain.” Another
more flattering version of the same
is “to the girl on whom 7 smiled in
vain.”
The judges deemed that one of the
best displays, for “the funniest thing”
was the mirror in which they were
supposed to see their own reflections.
The idea itself is not very original,
but the judges liked the principle of
the thing. Another entry in this class’
was a youthful village pickaninny
dressed in a gym suit. He was em-
barrassingly noncommittal even with
the refreshments.
Besides letters, funny things and
hairs, night watchmen in flannel pa-
pamas appeared and foreign flags, one
which was white ,with a swastika
painted on it. ‘This:was not allowed
because it was “synthetic.” There
were several small live dogs, includ-
ing a setter for “exotic contrast.” In
general the pictures of Haile Selassie
and Mahatma Ghandi depicted the
subjects as footsore and worn. The
best “long-handled spdon” was a
shovel. se as
. The group which won the first prize
received a basket of forty suckers and
the boobies won six baby dolls.
Editors of ‘Lantern’
Praised and Warned
Stories Recs “School and Shop”
Considered Examples of Good
Workmanship
BOCK’S PLEA ENDORSED
(Especially. contributed by Karl T.
Anderson.) : =
To attempt at one turn of the
press. to convert, a magazine notorious
for its “puré, aloof asceticism” into
a journal ri the discussion ‘of real
affairs is a bold step. For having
taken that step the editors of the
Lantern Hust be commended. But
they must also be warned. For in
making so revolutionary a change
they court two great dangers. There
is, first, the risk that fervor will get
the better of skill. The editors will
not find it easy to remember and to
make the contributors remember that
writing, no matter what it is about,
is still writing, and that it must be
t}done carefully. Second, there is the
danger, both treacherous and immi-
nent, that in encouraging the Lan-
tern in its effort to “encounter the
deep and the hard” people will forget
the necessity for uncompromising
criticism. The new policy is too good
a one to be allowed to drift. Hence
the apparent harshness of the re-
marks which follow.
The center of the current issue is
given over to four articles setting
forth the platforms of as many po-
litical groups.. I cannot give them
much praise as examples of thinking.
Democrats may be pleased to learn,
however, that despite the careful
silence of the party on the matter,
the administration really has_ the
constitution in mind and is. prepared
to favor a “clarifying amendment”
(p. 14). They may be relieved to know
also that Mr. Landon talked about
the constitution only to fill up the
time; his real worry was only the
extravagance of Mr. _ Roosevelt.
(p. 19.) Everybody will be glad to
know that the Democrats have a way
to increase foreign trade, while at
the same time carrying out the great
Republican desire to protect thor-
oughly the domestic market. (p. 13.)
In the Socialist ranks the company is
more discriminating. The author sees,
at least, a few of the defects and
deficiencies in the platforms of the
“capitalist” parties, and she is not
afraid to mention one or two of the
evasive tendenies of Mr. Thomas.
(p. 24.) With the Communists dia-
lectic is dead. The new Communism
(American model) can work in a
capitalistic frame, and it can find the
blessing of Marx for charging inter-
est on loans to farmers who safely
may be allowed to own privately their
land and other instruments of pro-
duction. (p. 26.)
Now political platforms are no
great credit to the intellect; they are
only vote-getting instruments. It is
inevitable that the writers presenting
the several platforms should be com-
pelled to sacrifice intellect. My point
is not, then, that they do the job
badly, because with one exception
they actually do it well. My point is
that the whole matter might be at-
tacked differently. It is our particu-
lar privilege to be able to view affairs
through the eyes of a student rather

SIX PROFESSORS GIVE
CURRENT EVENTS TALKS
While Mr. Fenwick is away on his
South American diplomatic mission,
the weekly Current vents lectures
will be given by various members of
the faculty, each of whom will speak
on a single topic of contemporary in-
terest. During the presidential cam-
paign, domestic ‘questions naturally
overshadowed foreign affairs; but now
that the country is in the post-election
doldrums, it seems appropriate to give
more attention to foreign problems.
For this reason, the series will in-
clude four lectures on foreign and
two on domestic subjects. The time
will continue to be Tuesdays at 7.30
p. m. and. the speakers have been
instructed to close promptly at eight
o’clock. The program as arranged is
as follows: »
November 10—“The Election in

HAZARD TO LECTURE
ON L’ABBE PREVOST
Paul Hazard, who is to lecture here
on November 18, is .one of Bryn
Mawr’s favorite speakers. This opin-
ion is reflected in his own France,
where he was the most popular lecturer
at the Sorbonne. From there he was
called to the Collége de France, and he
has. been exchange professor at Har- |
vard, the University of Chicago and
Columbia. He was the second Flex-
ner lecturer here. Harvard honored
him in September with the decree of
Doctor of Laws.
Mr. Hazard’s field is that of com-
parative literature, especially in the
Italian field, and he is extremely
popular’ in Italy. His chief work,
which appeared in 1935, is La Crise
de la Conscience Européenne. Among
his other books is the Etudes sur Ma-
non Lescaut, and he will present in
his lecture here some new material
concerning the author of this delight-
ful eighteenth century novel. He de-
livered the same paper on the occa-
sion of the Harvard Tercentenary,
where it had great success. The sub-
ject is Un Pré-Romantique de 1780:
“Holiday” Selected
By Varsity Players
And Cap arid Bells
Play is Sophisticated Comedy
On Pre-Depression Troubles
Of Idle Rich
REHEARSALS ALREADY
WELL UNDER CONTROL
Rehearsals are well under way for
Holiday, the comedy by Philip Barry
which Varsity Players and Haverford
Cap and Bells are giving as their fall
play. A notoriously successful pro-
duction, it was first produced on
Broadway in. 1927, and treats of the
re-depression troubles of the idle rich.
The dialogue is swift and sophisticated
and the problems are not social but
personal.
The entrance of the fiancé of one
of their daughters into the life of the
well-established Seton family brings
about a conflict between the ideals of
Linda, the older girl, and the rest
of the family. Linda’s sister; Julia,
returns from a visit to Lake Placid
engaged to Johnny Case, an attrac-
tive young man who is determined to
lead a life entirely different from the
Seton’s. He wants to “retire young
and work old,” and has no desire for
wealth as an end in itself. Linda is
completely in sympathy with his de-
sires and promptly falls in love with
him. Julia, on the other hand, dis-
covers that she cannot understand him
at all, which discovery gives rise to
a further set of complications. The
play ends happily, but the solution is
not an obvious one,
There are two sets, both interiors,
of the Seton’s New York establish-
ment; the decor is of the Stanford
White period. The two scenes are
contrasted. with each other, for the
first is the richly paneled living room,
whose furnishings discreetly exude
wealth, while the second act is laid
in the children’s old playroom on the
top floor, the only room of the house,
according to Linda, in which any one
has ever had any fun. Haverford
will cooperate with the staging of the
play as well as with the acting.

Bryn Mawr Ties Unbeaten Swarthmore
Team, 2-2, in Season’s Most Thrilling Game
In the most exciting game of the
hockey season, the Bryn Mawr Var-
sity tied Swarthmore, 2-2, thereby
winning a great moral victory, since
the Swarthmore team up to that time
had been undefeated, untied and
scored on only once.
Five minutes after the opening
whistle Weadock, our right wing,
dribbled the ball from the fifty-yard
line to the shooting circle, found a
hole in the opposing ranks and shot
the ball through it into the goal. It
was a difficult shot to accomplish, but
the timing and angle of direction were
so perfect that the ball went into the
goal almost untouched by the oppon-
ents. The half ended with Bryn Mawr
in the lead, 1-0.
In the second half our goal was
threatened more than in the first
period. Once the ball faltered on the
edge of the white line, finally deciding
to roll out of bounds. However, it
was not long before E. Jackson,
Swarthmore’s captain and center for-
ward, was rushing the goal to tie the
score,
The gallery was wild by this time.
Swarthmore had various male contin-
gents scattered over thé’ sidelines to
root for them, but we too had some
bass support from members of the
Haverford student body. tm
In the middle of the half Bennett
shot a nice goal past the goalie who
had come out to meet her. We were
again ahead. The question was,
could we hold the lead? There were
still ten minutes to play.
E. Jackson, followed by the rest of
the Swarthmore forwards, rushed an-
other shot into the goal and the score
was tied again. Either team could
win with some eight minutes left to
play.
Bryn Mawr made a last valiant
threat to score, but the Swarthmore
goalie held her ground and the final
score was 2-2, an ending which sat-
isfied Bryn Mawr sympathizers be-
cause it had been brought about by
brilliant playing on both sides. Bryn
Mawr functioned as a formidable
unit. Not only was there coopera-
tion among the forwards, but also be-
tween themselves and the backs,
among whom Bright and Norris were
outstanding.
The spirit of the team, as in other
Swarthmore games, was considerably .
better than usual. Might it be due to
the rallying effect of an audience or a
cheering section to encourage the play-
ers?
part. it played.

Politics Begin at Home
The booing and cheering of the.election is over; the people of. the
country have returned once more to their work and to constructive
rather than defensive criticism of the country’s problems. One of the
gravest of these to the students of the country is the need for trained
non-political civil service men and women in every branch of the gov-
ernment, and back of them a trained and deeply interested public
Both labor and industry ‘are too busy and too one-sided to
run the affairs of the nation. The present political party and spoils
system is an abomination to everyone in the country except the profes-
sional politician. Yet none of these three inadequate methods is
necessary. England has a civil service system which draws and trains
the best young men of the country to service for the people. America
could well follow suit, and not permit the best young people to go into
business, as they do now, because that is more lucrative or because the
name “politics” has become contaminated.
Yet when we ask for the “why” of the present political graft and
the general disinterest of the abler and better men and women in the
government we find the fault in the education which we college: stu-
dents are receiving. What we know of the government, its aims and
its methods we learn from the newspaper headlines, or at best from
an entirely theoretical course in- politics or economics, . The precise
“whats” never reach our attention. In the best of college educations
we learn a scholar’s detachment, but seldom a citizen’s obligation. We
receive neither the stimulation to public service nor the factual basis
on which to proceed once given-that stimulus, Yet many of the thou-
sands of us now in college might becom¢ excellent civil service
employees or sincerely responsible citizens if we/had any firm ground
on which to move.
In this college excellent courses in polities, economics and social
economy are offered, but they total eleven and one-half units. Few
students are willing: so to confine themselves, even to become good
citizens, The first year courses are crowded today, but they present
a limited and an abstract view of a very factual field. Other colleges
have felt the need for a factual course falling beneath and between
these two, and have instituted it as required civics. At many colleges
it is the most popular course on the campus, because students sincerely
want to know what makes the wheels 6f government go ’round. Regard-
less of ideals of scholarship and without theory and footnotes, they
want to know simply and vividly what they may do to make those
-wheels run more smoothly.
Only a general course not cluttered with detail can elucidate for
the average student how the government works, what trade unions are
and why business opposes them, what happens in soil erosion and how
to stop it, what might happen if trade barriers were lowered and who
would be affected, what the stock exchange is and why, what our civil
service is and what other nations have done with theirs. These and a
hundred others are questions for which everyone wants answers and for
whose answers few will work four years.
The college would probably rebel against dropping one of its two
English requireds in favor of a course in civics. Therefore, if such a
radical move cannot be made either (1) one of the three present
extracurricular courses—hygiene, diction or body mechanics—could
be dropped and a civics course taken up; or (2) at an hour, twice a
week, when there are no other classes or lab, lectures in such a course,
with purely voluntary attendance, could be given. It is the firm opin-
ion of this board that, if the latter were done and the lectures were
- yivid, direct and factual, the facts and the problems of government
oa
; - last week realize what a great help it is to kitow exactly what kind of
would become a truly vital element in our lives, instead of an idle
appendage.
Help to the Hazy
Getting a job in this day is just as difficult as keeping one used to
be. The prospects for all of us, seniors in particular, become gloomier
instead of brighter as the year wears on. It is then most fitting and
cheering that Mrs. Lillian Gilbreth should be Vocational Adviser to the
college, and that'she should be available at frequent intervals through-
out the year.
All those students who saw Mrs. Gilbreth during her office hours
- jobs there are within any field and exactly how to go about asking for
those jobs. Sanaa peer se sien < oar nee hawe vi

The Students Speak:
Below appear two letters from
seniors who have had difficulties with
the orals system and who feel that
it does: not bring the desired results.
This is only one side of the situation.
The News should like to hear from
(1) the Dean or a member of the
|German department on what the orals
propose to do and wherein lies their
strength; (2) a member. of the fac-
ulty in the *science -and another in
the art or archeology departments,
where reading in French and German
is assigned in large quantities; (38)
a senior who had little trouble with
the orals and feels that she learned
to read the two languages with the
Jaid of a dictionary; (4) students who
have taken the proposed substitute
courses in French and German litera-
ture.
COURSES SUGGESTED .
IN PLACE OF ORALS
To the Editor of the College News:
-No one> who has -been ‘a frequent
victim .of the Orals or who has seen
her friends suffer from that seemingly
relentless “F,” can help feeling that
the orals system works very badly.
Although the complaints are toned by
the frenzy. of the night before or by
the emotion of those dreadful Monday
mornings before the envelope is finally
torn open, nevertheless there is a
sound and constructive criticism be-
neath these cries.
The principal. behind .the require-
ment of a reading knowledge of
French and German is one which is
fully recognized and acclaimed, but
the fault lies in the means, not the
end. A student can cram for an ex-
amination and then, as_ everyone
knows, she will forget a large per-
centage of this material within a few
months. A mechanism which allows
this inadequacy of preparation is use-
less. Secondly, studying for the
Orals under the present system is an
extra-curricular activity. It requires
either taking a course for which one
does not get credit, either at, college
or at Summer School, or else studying
on one’s own, since Elementary Ger-
man here is admitted to be insufficient.
And this injustice becomes’strikingly
evident in students who are not al-
lowed to take part in campus activi-
ties because of their lack of merits,
but are forced to slave over an extra
language while getting behind in their
units. Both these criticisms could be
resolved by requiring students to take
courses in French and German for
credit, instead of merely an examina-
tion. This would insure a permanence
of the material studied as well as a
minimum waste of time.
A second. criticism is directed
against the rule that a student can-
not be examined in her entering lan-
guage until her junior year. If she
knows enough of that lafiguage when
she is a freshman, she should be al-
lowed to try the examination when
she wants to. But it would be still
better to have her take the required
course as soon as she likes, and in-
crease her commartrd6f the tongue im-
mediately instead of giving her two
years in which to forget it.
A third criticism is one which is
not so easily met, but which never-
theless presents an important prob-
lem. Some allowance should be made
for the science majors who are apt
to have difficulty with languages.
Everyone realizes that some students
simply do not have ‘a language sense,
and this is characteristic of the type
of thinking they are accustomed to
and very capable of doing. One way
out is to have the content of the ex-
amination neutral material, which
puts everyone on an equal footing.
But this problem, like the others,
would not even arise if courses in-
stead of examinations were required.
The emotional effect of the Orals
constitutes their major fault. The
far-reaching terror which has been in-
stilled in us, not by upperclassmen but
by experience, increases with each
new failure. The intense discourage-
ment which results from a defeat
after months of hard work has a
downing effect on the rest of one’s
studies. and inevitably permeates all
one’s activities. The Orals are not
the most important part of a Bryn
Mawr education and they should not |
be allowed to have the unhealthy in-
fluence that their unfair conditions
and . justified reputation have given
them. ALice Gére KING, ’37.
REVISIONS SUGGESTED
WITHIN ORAL SYSTEM
To the Editor of the College News:
As much as we hate to admit it,
I think we realize that the idea be-
hind the Orals is a very good one.
A reading knowledge of French and
Gerfnan ‘is a benefit to everyone and
‘|}an' absolute necessity to anyone doing
graduate work, particularly in scien-
tific fields: - But I feel that the pres-
ent system is not only painful, but it
does not prove whether or not we have
that reading knowledge.
At present most students. enter on
French, but are not allowed to take
the. Oral in that subject until their
junior year. The penalty—and it is
a penalty—of waiting two years
seems a very unfair one. Either the
students must continue to study
French .during those two years or
they must cram for. the examination
at the last minute. Everyone admits
that crammed knowledge is not last-
ing knowledge, and isn’t it lasting
knowledge that we are seeking? If
we want to pass the French oral and
then forget that knowledge, why can’t
we take the exam in the fall of fresh-
man year? If we don’t want to for-
get it, why not give us the alternative
of taking the First Year course in
French Literature and_ substituting
the final examination for the oral?
Under this system the students would
have the chance to prove that at some
point in their college career they had
‘a reading knowledge of French—
which is all that the present system
means—or they would be able to
escape the torture of taking the oral
by substituting a course which is both
interesting and far more beneficial
than an examination.
Students who offer German for en-
trance credit should be given the same
choice of taking the oral Freshman
year or of taking a course in German
literature similar to the French
course. Of the two German courses
which would fall into this category at
present, one is too advanced and one
too elementary. Why not replace the
Elementary Reading course by a
literature course concentrating more
on rapid reading ability and less on
details of structure? This might be
made into a full unit course and credit
received as such. Only the excep-
tional student is able té pass the oral
and so take the present course in First
Year German Literature after the
training she has gotten in school.
Most of the undergraduates, how-
ever, do not enter on German, but
must take Baby German, and again
only the exceptional student can pass
the oral after this course alone. The
average student has then two choices
of action—either she must spend a
whole year in the Elementary Reading
course, for which she gets no credit
and which takes a full unit’s time, or
she must submit to two weeks’ hectic
cramming before the oral, which does
her no permanent good and does real
harm to her regular work. Why not
substitute after the Baby German
course the choice of. taking an ex-
amination or of taking the Literature
course suggested above for students
who entered on German?
I realize that the Oral Committee
has devised the present system as one
which they feel is the best for giving
us a reading knowledge of these lan-
guages, but I wonder if they realize
how few of us who have passed the
orals can really read French and Ger-
man with any ease. While the spirit
of experimentation—so evident in pre-
senting us with comprehensives—is
already begun building concretely for that goal. More important than
college itself is the problem of what to do afterwards and how to go
about it. With increasing specialization and complexity in every field
the novice cannot know where to turn for the -best. results. In such
circumstances expert vocational advice’ is necessary; and here last
week Mrs. Gilbreth proved a wetl that advice can be given.

LIGHTING. PRESENTS
IMMEDIATE PROBLEM
a
To the Editors of the College News:
It was with great interest that I
read your editorial of last week re-
garding the lighting system of the
college. . Certainly you are bringing
up the question which most needs im-
mediate solution. It is, I am con-
vinced, the one point on which the
student body will agree; it would not
only be more comfortable to have more
and better lighting, we absolutely need
it. This not only applies to the stu-
dents’ rooms and Taylor, ‘but also to
the smoking rooms in the halls, and
éSpecially the laboratories in Dalton.
We could probably get on very well
without new science apparatus or new
wings in the library—we could prob-
ably get oh without. the variety of
courses and the proportionately large
number. of professors which Bryn
Mawr offers at present—but the ques-
tion of the proper enjoyment of ap-
paratus, buildings and courses rests
with the lighting system perhaps more
than any other factor.
Right now many students are using
sixty or seventy watt bulbs in open
defiance of college regulations. They
cannot be excused for this, but cer-
tainly it should not’ be necessary for
them to do so.
I reflect the sentiments of the stu-
dents, I am sure, when I compliment.
you’on the stand you have taken, and
I hope that there will be some response
to your plea in the near future. Yours
truly, PATRICIA ROBINSON, ’39.
SIMPLER MAY DAY IS
ADVISED FOR FUTURE
To the Editors of the College News:
I am writing in answer to your edi-
torial in the October 14 issue on May
Day. A year before May Day is
scheduled to take place the under-
graduates vote, to be sure, on whether
there will be a May Day. But just
before they vote they are shown beau-
tiful and impressive movies of the last
May Day. To their bewildered eyes
the finished product looks gay and
exciting. Little is heard from the
one class in college who has been
through a May Day and in a moment
of ecstasy the undergraduate body is
carried away and votes unanimously
in favor of it.
But who told them that they would
rehearse five hours a week for two
months; that their leisure hours from
12 to 2 o’clock in the morning would
be snatched away by desperate com-
mittees who had to have 5,000 paper
flowers the next day or six pairs of
fairies’ wings? They told them that
it would be work, lots of work. But
little was said until May Day had
been voted on. Then they were faced
with the problem. Bryn Mawr must
not lose money in this endeavor. This
must be a bigger and better May Day!
In the early days of Bryn Mawr,
May Day was comparatively unpre-
tentious. There were no professional
directors, professional costumes and
professional set designs to make it a
perfect and authentic performance.
Those May Days must. have had the
usual flaws of an amateur production,
but they were done by the under-
graduates, advised by the faculty.
I do not think that Bryn Mawr in
the future can give a distinctly in-
ferior May Day, when such a high
standard has been set. It is too late
now to take back what has been done.
I think that if the students feel the
urge for presenting a pageant of some
kind it must be something of an en-
tirely different sort, which they cast,
direct and produce themselves, helped
by the outsiders they may choose.
Sincerely, A PARTICIPANT.

TIN CUARK STAR
To supp'ement the moral victory ‘of
last. Saturday, the Second Varsity
hockey team came through with a
more substantial victory over the
Blacks and Manheim Monday after-
noon. Although many of the players
were playing out of their usual po-
sitions, they did as well as some of
the regulars. Peggy Martin, who
usually plays in the backfield, was
excellent at right wing.
The score was tied atthe end—of
the first half, but at the end of the
second we emerged victorious by a
score of 2-1. A. J. Clark scored both
our goals with short, hard shots.
It is significant to note that we
tied this team three weeks ago, on
October 21, with a final score, 1-1.
Most of their former players were

ABROAD AT HOME
Two mornings a week the Lancaster
Pike in Rosemont is overcrowded with
slow-moving traffic. When investi-
gated, cars reveal huge market bas-
kets sitting sedately in the rear seat,
or bushels of apples rolling around
on the floor. All of which leads up
to the fact that there is on the Pike
a Lancaster Farmers’ Market which
is open every Wednesday and Satur-
day from 8.00 a. m. to 7.00 p. m.
On these days members of the faculty
may often be seen calmly waiting for
‘a big, burly Pennsylvania Dutchman
or a- comely Mennonite maid to sell
them some food. The place has end-
less possibilities for exploration, and
the most we can do is point out a
few articles which caught our eye.
Down the center aisle, on the left-
hand side as you enter, Mrs. Bough-
man offers to the public cinnamon
buns and cinnamon egg rolls at 6 for
15 cents, while Edwin H. Chew, on
the immediate right of “the door,
shows you delicious candy and fudge,
the latter at 50 cents a pound. If
the eye is capable of discerning pos-
sible taste, these ought to be good.
On the extreme left of the market
there are several curiosities which
may or may not interest you... Hang-
ing over the counter may be seen
large wren houses made out of co-
coanuts, and, which is even more pe-
culiar, large oblong faces painted on
the surface of a skinless cocoanut.
The wren houses sell for 75 cents;
the more complicated faces are $1.25.
At the rear of the store you may
find things to brighten up your room
in the way of plants at anywhere
from 35 cents up, depending on the
size. Cut flowers are also for sale,
as well as bulbs (narcissus and cro-
cus). If you buy some bulbs now,
just think, you may be the first one
to say, “Spring’s here, my crocus
sprouted this morning.”
Upon leaving our newest discovery,
we espied not only honey in jars for
15 and 28 cents, but also honey in
the comb, the best grade being only
35 cents. If you miss your favorite
home bee-hive, here’s a way to revive
the memory.
There are many other specialties
which we have no time to mention,
but we suggest a visit to said market
not only for the prosaic purchase of
food, but also for a little conversa-
tion with the farmers who are only
too anxious to explain how Pumper-
nickel bread is made, or why such
and such a thing is better than some-
thing else.

Chapter the Tenth
Introducing Reginald.
July found Algae and his mother
staying in a beautiful Norman castle
on the east coast of Ireland as guests
of a young Irish peer and his mother,
whom they had. met in London early
in the Spring. The first day of their
arrival Reggie (their host) led Algae
on an inspection tour of the castle and
grounds. The great hall of the first
floor was the size of Algae’s whole
flat in “London. Stained glass win-
dows let in the only light,’so thai} _
Algae found it rather gloomy.
“That unicorn couchant with the!
three running lambs and the blue
chevron is the coat of arms of my
mother’s family, the Fayrweather-
haughs,” remarked Reggie, pointing
to a particularly handsome window.
“What is your mother’s like?”
““My mother was an American,” said
Algae~apologetically.
“Oh,” said Reggie politely.
“What is your family name?” asked
Algae, changing the subject.
Reggie grasped at the conversa-
tional straw eagerly. He hastened to
explain that his full name was Regi-
nald Fayrweatherhaugh Rainbeau;
Algae had known him only by his
title, Lord Mounteverest.
“It must simplify matters awfully
to be a commoner,” remarked Reggie,
democratically.
“Oh, -frightfully,” said Algae airily.
“Whatever can be the matter, old
thing?” asked Reggie, who ' noticed
Algae staring out of the window open-
mouthed.
“Haven’t I seen that chap some-
where before?” stammered Algae,
pointing to a handsome young fellow
who was strolling slowly through the
gardens.
“Oh,” explained Reggie carelessly,
“that’s one of the poor second cou-
sins on my father’s side. Awfully
talented fellow, but a bit bourgeois,
don’t you know?”
“Not—not the English Horn?”
“My dear old chap!”.exclaimed Reg-
gie, “you’re positively psychic. He’s
really a bloody genius. You’d never
guess it. His father, who is rather
much of a tyrant, is making him go
through Sandhurst, but the poor chap
loathes the military life. The bugle
calls especially get on his nerves. I
expect it’s because he’s blessed, or
rather cursed, as he puts it, with per-
fect pitch.”

We do not need to apologize for old
rickety platforms; we can try to

This, I take it, is no more than en-
dorsing Miss Bock’s moving plea for
intellectual responsibility as against
Miss Dimock’s implied advocacy—
playful only—of the simple view.
The latter article might well serve as
preface to .the four political plat-
foims. The former, by comparison,
is a declaration of original right. I
urge everyone to read it again.
Concerning other features of the
Lantern I venture only a word be-
cause I feel no. further qualified.
The three “stories” from School and
Shop are excellent. They set a
standard of workmanship _ hardly
achieved by Miss Fox in her Stranger
Within Thy Gates and by Miss Good-
man in her Civilian Conservation
Corps. These last, however, deal
with elements more subtle and far
more difficult to handle. To say that
the point of the Stranger remains a
little clouded and that the C. C. C. is
a bit uneven in finish is only to qua-
lify a general approval. Approval of
Miss Quistgaard’s review of Mrs.
Wooton’s Plan or No Plan, likewise,
is only qualified and not reversed by
suspicions of overstatement.
It was never my duty to read the
old Lantern. I have no basis for
comparing the old and the new. But
it seems to me that the current issue
shows signs of real power. I look
forward Cin much interest to the

Correction
The News regrets that in the ar-
ticle on the exhibition of paintings
by Mr. Albright in dissasid _week’s issue
uted to Jean Lamson, ’37. The origi-
nal material and criticism in the ar-
ticle was submitted by Miss Lamson,
but, in the course of copyreading and
corrections, her ~ critical comments
were apparently misinterpreted. The
following communication from , Miss
Lamson corrects them:
“The writer’s phrase ‘violent abil-
ity to speak for themselves’ (the pic-
tures) was translated as ‘violent self-
expression.’ Whereas the latter
phrase has a dubious meaning, if any
at all, the writer meant ‘to convey by
the former phrase that unlike most
contemporary art, these paintings of
Ivan Albright’s cahnot be judged ac-
cording to previously conceived art-
concepts. Rather, they have a singu-
lar power of directing your attention
to them, and of demanding that you
endeavor to understand what they, not
you, have to offer.
them, by contrast to the majority of
‘modern’ art an almost ‘violent ability
to speak for themselves.’
“Finally, the last sentence ‘just as
long as one cannot be indifferent to
them (the paintings) it is necessary
to give them due consideration,’ which
was not in the original article at all,
if it says anything, wrongly places an
emphasis on the sensational quality
of Mr. Albright’s painting that would
be but a cheap contribution to his
real merit as an artist.”

Upon Political and Social
Views of Spain
SPANISH LETTERS READ
Combining interests with the grad-
uate students in the Romance Lan-
guage Departments, the members of.
the Graduate Club and Miss Eunice
M. Schenck were hostesses last Thurs-
day at the first of a series of faculty
dinners to be given in Radnor Hall
The occasion was
the opening meeting of the Romance
Language Journal Club which ‘had
selected for the subject-of its evening
discussion, “Spain as it is today.”
Dinner guests included the princi-
pal speaker of the evening, Mr. Jos-
eph Gillet and Mrs. Gillet, Miss Mary
Sweeney, Miss Eleanor O’Kane, Miss
Margaret Gilman, Miss Berthe Marti,
M. Jean Guiton, Mlle. Germaine Brée
and Miss Angelina Lograsso. After
dinner the group’ was augmented by
_ some. fifteen additional guests inter-
ested in hearing the presentation of
the Spanish topic.
Mr. Gillet’s admirable development
of the background that helps inter-
pret and explain the social and’ po-
litical factors operating in present
day Spain was supplemented by com-
ments from Miss O’Kane and Mr.
Harold Wethey who were in Spain/
when the revolution began. Miss
O’Kane has been in Madrid for the
past two years teaching in the Resi-
dencia de Senoritas. Mr. Wethey,
who was marooned in Tarragona, had
planned to spend a portion of the
summer in Spain. Miss Sweeney,
representative of the International
Institute for Girls in Spain, read ex-
cerpts of letters from friends alligned
with different factions.
Of interest to those unable to hear
the discussion will be the following
books mentioned by Mr. Gillet: Two
novels on anarchism in Spain pub-
lished this year are Ramon J. Sen-
der’s Seven Red Sundays, about the
activities of the anarchists in Bar-
celona; and Olive Field by Ralph
Bates. Three non-fiction books all
published within the past few months
are Spain in Revolt by Harry Gannes
and Théodore Repard; Spain Today;
Revolution and Counter-revolution by
Edward Conze, and Spanish Tragedy
by E. Allison Peers. Joseph A.
Brandt’s Toward the New Spain,
published in 1933, and The Origins of
Modern Spain by J. B. Trend, appear-
ing in 1934, are also recommended by
Mr. Gillet as aids in understanding
the chaotic situation in present day
Spain.
RADNOR HAS WEEKLY
.“LANGUAGE TABLES”
Advantageous as well as diverting
are the “language tables” held
weekly or fortnightly in Radnor Hall.
At a table in the dining room seating
eight or ten persons the French con-
versational group meets on Monday
evenings; the German group on Tues-
days; the Spanish and Modern Greek
on alternate Wednesdays; and the
Italian on Thursdays.
Last year as part of her responsi-
bilities as the exchange teaching fel-
low from France, Mlle. Paquerette
Nasse presided over a weekly French
table of graduate and undergraduate
students in the department. This
year, in cooperation with the French
Club, Mlle. Nasse is again arranging
for students to meet once a week at
dinner and to converse in French. The
other exchange teaching fellows, Miss
Erika Simon and Miss Paola Fran-
chetti, have organized similar tables
for German and Italian conversation.
Miss Mary Sweeney, representative of
the International Institute for Girls
in Spain and Ph. D. candidate in
Spanish, is presiding over the Spanish
table.
Encouraged by the linguistic efforts
of their fellow students, the members
of the Archaeology and Greek De-
partments have organized a table at
which they are speaking Modern
Greek.

Buffet Supper,
: -Well- ‘Waxed Floors F Feature at Rock Dance}
ere
Rockefeller Hall, November” Vom
Catering to the various musical ap-
petites represented by the 48 couples
and the 21 stagettes, who supported
the third Rock dance, Walter Howson
and his seven piece orchestra strum-
med away busily from 8 to 11.30 p. m.
An ample buffet supper was served
immediately preceding ‘the dancing,
but further nourishment was presum-
ably in pressing demand after the
dance, if one is to judge from the
rush to the Greeks.
Stickler for perfection: though the
committee was, a few mishaps o¢-
curred. The flowers, instead of the
orchestra, were a little later than ex-
pected, and had been barely settled
when the guests arrived. Then an
over-enthusiastic dancer -(a guest at
that) managed a fall and quite a slide
across the beautifully waxed floor.
Fortunately, he seemed rather hardy,
for, still enthusiastic, he was gliding
ahout on his feet the rest ae the eve-
ning.
This last incident’ was quite com--
prehensible to those of us who had
tottered across Mac’s_ vigorously
waxed floors during the day. After
years of experience in polishing the
expanse of Rock’s floors on his hands
and knees, Mac now puts on ice-
hockey guards when waxing and ca-
pably propels himself about by vigor-
ous swoops which we hardly know
how to describe.
Miss Comegys, warden. of Rocke-
feller Hall, received with Lucy Kim-
berley, ’37, hall president, and Mary
Whalen, ’38, and Ruth Brodie, ’39, the
dance committee. The faculty mem-
bers present were: Mr. and Mrs. Karl
Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Max Diez
and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Watson.
Mrs. Manning Discusses
Purposes of Quizzes
Opportunity Given to Review
_ Material and Test Work
Music Room, November 5.—Taking
the philosophical view that students
may be divided into two classes in
their approach to quizzes, those who
haven’t finished the reading and those
who haven’t started the reading, Mrs.
Manning discussed the purpose of
quizzes and gave practical sugges-
tions on how to prepare for them.
The purpose of the mid-semester
quiz is two-fold.' In the first place, it
gives the student opportunity to re-
view the ground covered and to or-
ganize her material. This is particu-
larly useful for freshmen who find
they “have to put on speed” in order
to get their work done when they
come to college. Its second purpose
is to allow the student as well as
the faculty.a means of testing her
,work and to see how she “is getting
on.” It is more important to the stu-
dent than to the faculty because she
can learn from the quiz and correct
herself.
In studying for the quizzes, Mrs.
Manning considers reviewing to be
more important than finishing every
last page of the reading. It is better
to have a general view of the subject
than to cram in a lot of details, which
one has never seen before, at the last
minute. Mrs. Manning stressed the
importance of “taking these things in
your stride,” and advised particularly
against staying up all night before the
quiz. In reading courses a lot can be
learned by going over the notes the
night before, but in subjects where
reasoning is necessary one needs
awakeness of mind in taking the quiz,
and, for this, staying up all night is
not exactly a help.
Getting Jobs Needs
Definite Technique
Continued from Page One
ditions.
Those who hope to write should be-
gin at once to submit material, in
order to havg some idea of their
chances. Journalism is perhaps the
hardest work of any, and writing is a
very overcrowded field. As an avo-
cation it may lead to great things, but
it is best to be sure of earning some-
thing in another job at the beginning.
There are increasing openings for
women in the scientific fields, though
here particularly they must be pre-
pared to work as hard as or harder
than their male associates. Chemistry
is perhaps the best field to enter, but
there are chances in the others as
well. Mrs. Gilbreth’s own interest is
in engineering, and she says that the
prejudices against women are grow-
ing weaker all the time. Industrial
pn offers good cope.

Twenty Undergraduates
Form New German Club
M. Lee Powell Elected President,
A. J. Clark Treasurer
Bryn Mawr has been singing Ger-
man songs and sporting an occasional
pair of lederhosen for about as long
as we can remember, but the spirit
of the Tyrol, more robust than ever
this year, has recently made its most
concrete contribution to the life of
the college in the form of a German
Club.
Spurred on by. the enthusiasm
aroused by summer trips abroad and
furthered by the Deutscher Tag, some
twenty undergraduates met in the
May Day Room on Wednesday of last
week to discuss plans for a permanent
organization. M. Lee Powell, ’37, and
A. J. Clark, ’39, who aided in the di-
rection of the Bryn Mawr skit given
in Wilmington, were elected president
and treasurer, respectively.
The club will meet at frequent inter-
vals for singing, dramatics and in-
formal discussions, in addition to oc-
casional Ausfliige, when time and
weather conditions permit. All indoor
activities are to take place in a room
in Wyndham, where a piano and vic-
trola may be used.
Approximately thirty people, in
addition to those present at the first
meeting, signified their interest in be-
coming members on slips posted in the
various halls, raising the total po-
tential membership to fifty. Dues will
be 50 cents a year, and the $25 par-
ticipation prize awarded to the Bryn
Mawr group in Wilmington will serve
the treasury as a temporary next-egg.
Dr. Fenwick Sails
After a hectic delay of six hours
because of the longshoremen’s strike,
Mr. Fenwick finally sailed for South
America to attend the Peace Confer-
ence which opens December 1. Mr.
Fenwick will return early in January.
In the meanwhile Mrs. Anderson is
teaching the first-year course in Poli-
tics and Mr. Charles Savage is tak-
ing charge of the course in Elements
of Law and the’ seminar in Constitu-
tional Law.
Dance After Play
The Undergraduate Association
wishes to announce that there will be
a dance on December fifth; following
the second performance of “Holi-
day.” It will be given in the Dean-
ery, from 10.30 to 1.30.

Results of the freshman elec-
tions are:

Comprehensive Exam
Demands Originality
Complete Command of Subject
Necessary for at Least One
Of Three Tests
COURSES INTERRELATED
The comprehensive examinations in-
stituted this year have not so much
altered the work of the various de-
partments as the point of view from.
which students are approaching’ their
work. Since the links between
courses are seldom supplied in any
lectures, the undergraduates are being
compelled to depend upon themselves
in their private reading to obtain
this information. If they have any
special interests to which they have
devoted particular attention, they are
likewise being forced to rely upon
their own initiative in order to relate
these interests to the general whole.
Although the comprehensives fur-
nish an opportunity for original
thinking formerly given only by hon-
ors work, these examinations do not
They give a wide
understanding that makes the deep
but necessarily narrow. .investigation
done by honors students and the
specialized study of advanced courses
far more significant. In almost every
department it is required that one of
the three three-hour examihations
deal with the entire sweep of the sub-
ject. Biology has this requirement;
so. have chemistry, economics and poli-
tics, geology, German, physics and
psychology. In English and in his-
tory of art, there are general exami-
nations also, but they are limited to
certain principles of style and criti-
cism which can be made to apply to
large and varied fields. French and
Italian demand basic linguistic tests;
Greek and Latin require first of all
a test of knowledge of the language
as shown in translation. In differ-
ent ways, according to the different
natures of their subjects, the depart-
ments ask to be shown that each stu-
dent has a grasp of the essential ele-
ments of her work.
After this, what most departments
require is a more intensive knowledge
within narrower limits. Each of the
other three-hour examinations may
deal with a single branch of the work
offered, for the general test. In bi-
ology, for example, one of these re-
maining two examinations may be de-
voted to embryology, the other to
cytology or biochemistry or physi-
ology, and so on. Again, only one of
these need be given to a biological
question, for it is also permitted that
the third may deal with an allied sub-
ject if the student so desires. In
chemistry, not only an allied subject,
but a laboratory performance is an
alternative for this third examination.
This is the most prevalent plan for
the comprehensives, but there are
also interesting variations. Although
philosophy majors, for example, are
tested inrespect to their knowledge
of philosophy both ancient and mod-
ern, they are not questioned on all
aspects of philosophy. The particu-
lar theme which they follow through
history is the problem of the nature
of the-mind. The different parts of
philosophy, metaphysics, ethics, aes-
thetics and so on are dealt with in
only one examination and only as they
appear in the system of one philoso-
pher. Whoever majors ‘in history
does not have to submit to one gen-
eral examination ‘at all, for the sub-
ject is obviously too big. This stu-
dent must simply take three examina-
tions in three different fields, one of
which must deal with the history of
the continent of Europe. In French,
beside the linguistic test, there is one
test as usual in a special field of
literature, and then the third must
follow the development of a single
literary genre through the history of
the French language.
However any separate department
may go about it, the common purpose
of the comprehensives is to -relate
‘knowledge into an organism that lives
in the minds of students, an organism
which has proportion and logic, which
in turn demands the use of proportion
and logic in dealing with it.
MADEMOISELLE BREE
SPEAKS ON ALGERIA
Common Room, November 10.—One
of France’s most successful colonies
was described most vividly by Ma-
demoiselle Brée at the regular meet-
ing of the French Club. She has been
teaching at a lycée in Algeria for the
four years since she was a graduate
student at Bryn Mawr.
There is far more to this beautiful
North African province than meets
the casual tourist’s eye. The region
can be divided into three parts—the
modern French towns on the coast,
the high plateau of the more inland
country and finally the desert interior,
beloved of artists. The population is
divided as well into the foreign ele-
ment, composed of people of mixed
French, Spanish and Italian blood, the
Arab Mohammedans of the towns
and the remnant of the old Berber
stock, which is led by powerful chiefs,
whose importance is both religious and
political. In the interior are the
“puritans of the desert,” the Moabites,
who have been pushed farther and
farther inland until they have reached
a spot where water can only be ob-
tained by deep wells. There are also
the Tuaregs, the famous desert war-
riors who always walk slowly because
speed impiies that one ‘is afraid.
France has made no attempt to con-
vert the Algerians to Christianity, but
has done a great deal to better living
conditions and to allay the diseases
prevalent among the natives.

Current Events
__(Gleaned from Mr. Wells)
Taking The Election in Retrospect
as the subject of his lecture, Mr.
Wells discussed both the predictions
that had been made regarding the
election and its actual results. The
Literary Digest poll and the farm
polls have both fallen very wide of
the mark, the first representing too
large a percentage of people with
large incomes, the second minimizing
the strength of the Democratic party
in rural districts. Smaller and more
localized polls were more. accurate,
and Farley, who said that he would
| give the Republicans two states, ap-
‘ -— to be the champion. crystal-
gazer. j
But while Roosevelt has the largest
electoral majority since Monroe in
1820, the popular vote was only in a
ratio of about 60 pér cent to 40 per
cent. What is more serious is that
the Democratic party has a majority
in Congress which is larger than any
has been for a considerable length’ of
time.
The Republican party has lost local
patronage in a great many cities and
‘states and the destruction of its or-
‘ganized machine dooms the two-party
‘system. The minor parties played a
-very unimportant part in the election
and seem to have been pretty well dis-
posed of.
The results of the election cannot
be solely explained. by the fact that
the Democratic party has spent such
large amounts of money on relief. It
was more satisfactorily explained by
Walter Lippman’s comment that to
vote for the ins when things are going
well and to vote for the outs when
things are going badly is the essence
of party government.

Mr. Sprague Approached
Drama With New Slant
Arthur Colby Sprague’s arrival at
Bryn Maver as Associate Professor in
English ends a twenty-year affiliation
with Harvard University, interrupted
only by two years of military service
during the war. Mr. Sprague Gerved
with the American First Division and
was cited for distinguished service in
action.
With the end of the war Mr.
Sprague resumed his studies at Har-
vard, obtaining his A. B. in 1921, his
M. A. the following year and his
Ph. D. in 1925. For the next five years
he was an instructor in the Depart-
ment of English. Then in 1930 he
was appointed Assistant Professor and
chairman of the Tutorial Board Di-
vision of Modern Languages.
Mx. Sprague’s particular absorp-
tion in the English drama and in
Elizabethan non-dramatic literature
is evidenced by the books which’ he
has published: Beaumont and Fletcher
on the Restoration Stage, an edition
of Samuel Daniel’s Poems and a De-
fense of Ryme and Shakespeare and
the Audience. At present he is at
work on a volume which will also
have to do with Shakespeare.
A new course, Modern Drama, is
being initiated into the curriculum
by Mr. Sprague. His novel and in-
formal approach to the subject has
proved exceptionally stimulating and
Mr. Sprague hopes to develop it
further.

CRYSTOLOGY IS FIELD
OF MR. A. L. PATTERSON
(This is the third of a series of in-
terviews with members of the faculty.)
Mr. A. Lindo Patterson, Assistant
Professor of Physics, finds little dif-
ficulty in adapting himself to new en-
vironments in view of his interestingly
varied residences in the past. At
fourteen he left Canada for England,
where he remained until he was of
college age. After graduating from
McGill Un:versity he studied in Ger-
many for a year.
Having received his doctorate from
McGill in 1928, he was appointed lec-
turer there for the following year.
Mr. Patterson spent the next two
ears at the Rockefeller Institute.
From 1931-1933 he’ lectured at the
University of Pennsylvania.
For the past three years Mr. Pat-
terson has been doing research in
crystal analysis at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. He is con-
t'nuing to investigate the structure
of organic crystals by means of X-ray
while at Bryn Mawr.
In his spare time Mr. Patterson en-
joys listening to concert music. His
fondness for skiing seems to be the
result of his Canadian background.
