of the COLLEGE

Why doesn’t Bryn’-Mawr have an

international club for all the for-
eign students and a limited number
of Americans who wish to become
acquainted with those girls from
other countries? It'’seems to me
that it would be a very worthwhile

undertaking—for a group of this |

kind not only promotes interest in
the people and customs of other

lands but also encourages a friend-

ly feeling of goodwill towards our
contemporaries abroad.

Hutchins Urges Help

For Ambulance Drive



Undergraduates Propose Aid
At Meeting in Goodhart
For Benefit



Monday, October 28.—In a mass
meeting held in Goodhart on Mon-
day at 1.30, Charlotte Hutchins,
president of the Undergraduate
Asséeiation, told: the assembled
student body that only forty dol-
lars worth of tickets for the British
Ambulance Benefit had been bought
by undergraduates.

In September the college had an
opportunity to buy for 1250 dollars

‘a lightweight ambulance for citi-

zens’—relief in England._Since it
was impossible to include it in the
already over-burdened Activities
Drive budget, a benefit was planned
for Wednesday evening, October
30, to raise.the money.

Miss Hutchins announced that
since 800 dollars had already been
raised from the sale of tickets out-
side the college, the ambulance
could not be given in the name of
Bryn Mawr College unless the stu-
dents would pledge to buy most of
the remaining tickets.

Four-fifths of the undergradu-
ates present agreed to support the
benefit and it was decided that any
small deficit would be made up from
the Activities Drive funds.

Poker Game comes closer than any

one should see Poker Game if only
to watch him twist and curl around
the other performers. Mr. Frank-
lin is dancing even better this

among the finest dancers in the

touch when the four queens dance

Latest Thing in Men’s Clothing (Women!)
Must be Removed, Says ‘Yale Editorial



The following letter to Life ‘and

these cruel words we can make no

back as well as pas de deux by
Markova and Eglevsky which are

Some of the costumes are badly de-

as a whole the ballet is delightful.

This is only a partial list of the

new ballets. Serenade, to music by

Tschaikowsky, and Vienna- 1814
with music by Von Weber are also
on this season’s list. There are
not so many old ballets being given
as one would like to see, but Gaité
Parisienne is still very much in
evidence and other older works
help supplement the program every
now and then. The Ballet will be
coming to Philadelphia in a, few

perfection of Markova and the
grace of Massine are as magnetic
