Post-War Forum
Treats Problems

Of United Nations

Representatives of Allies
Hope for Endurance
Of Peace

Academy of Music, March 11.—
Under a huge banner proclaiming
“Win the Peace,” the United Na-
tions Forum of Philadelphia held
its first meeting. Dr. C. L. Hsia,
advisor to the Chinese Foreign
Ministry, Sir Gerald Campbell,
Minister and special assistant to
the British Ambassador, and Wal-
ter Duranty, former correspondent
in the Soviet Union, addressed the
afternoon session on “What Hope
for the World Participation in
Building an Enduring Peace?”
Mrs. F. D. Roosevelt, William C.
Bullitt, Justice Owen J. Roberts
and Governor Harold Stassen
spoke to the evening meeting on
“What Hope for American Parti-
cipation in Building an sree
Peace?”

Dr. Hsia said that “China is will-
ing and eager to play her part” in
building a lasting peace. Among
China’s post-war aims, he said,
was its desire for a “fundamental
change in the position in those
parts of eastern Asia that have
hitherto been colonies of western
empires.”

The bulk of Sir Gerald Camp-
bell’s speech was devoted to a dem-
onstration that “British Imperial-
ism” had “vanished 40 to 70 years
ago.” Sir Gerald reiterated Sec-
retary Hull’s four propositions for
the conduct of the United Nations

after the war in order to imple-

Frank Contrasts
Christian, Modern
Views of History



Last of Flexner Lectures
Condemns Rationalistic
View point



Goodhart, March 15.—The mod-
ern view of history and its oppo-
sition to the traditional and relig-
ious conception of historic reality
‘was the subject of Dr. Erich
Frank’s lecture, History and Re-
ligion, the last in the Flexner ser-
ies. He contrasted the Christian

ing spiritual progress, with the at-
tte of the modern man towards
his ow& past. History is now con-
sidered as a human occurrence, or
as a casual connection reducible to
sociological and economic factors.
This view of history puts respon-
sibility on the modern man and his
power to change events.

The rationalistic philosophies,
said Dr. Frank, undermined the
pure Christian concept of history,
and, their critical investigations
and interpretations diametrically
oppose the concept of long-devel-
oping religious progress. It is re-
ligion, he stated, that has inspired
the great historians to seek histor-
ic truth.

Dr. Frank referred to periods of
mythology occurring early in
civilizations which could only be
interpretated in the light of relig-
ion. These are essential to an un-
derstanding of later historic de-
velopments.

One of the points which Dr.
Frank emphasized was that no his-
torian will acknowledge that his-
torical reality shows signs of di-
vine progress. The critical mo-
ment comes when man is con-
fronted with catastrophe and asks
—What progress is there? The
modern historian records such ca-
tastrophe as Fate or tragedy, but
the religious man would see Provi-
dence in this Fate.



Una Casa Espanola
Proposed Next Year



The rumor of a Spanish House
on campus next year has become a
fact. Although not entirely defi-
nite, the plans for a third lan-
guage house need only minor ad-
justments.

The existence of a Spanish
House depends on the number of
people who would be interested in
living there. It is not restricted to
Spanish majors exclusively. Any-
one with a thorough basic knowl-
edge of the language will be ad-
mitted.

Where the Spanish House will be
is as yet undecided. It will be on
campus, that is certain. It will
not be on Faculty Row, as rumor
has suggested. The present ar-
rangement is to have it in one of
the halls, the choice falling to that
hall which would best combine the
proper amount of seclusion with
the best kitchen facilities.

Indian Philosophy

Dr. Henry Robert Zimmer,
the internationally known
scholar, will give three pub-
lic lectures on Indian philos-
ophy on Fridays, April 9, 16,
23 at 8:30 p. m. in the Music
Room. He will stay on Sat-
urday mornings after these
lectures to talk with stu-
dents.

Dr. Zimmer was formerly
professor of Indic Philoso-
phy at the University of
Heidelburg.. He is now lec-
turing at Barnard and Co-
lumbia. It was to him that
Thomas Mann dedicated his
book, The Transposed Heads,
and Dr. C. C. Jung, noted
psychologist, has frequently
consulted him. ~

Books relating to these
lectures will be found on the
Eastern Civilization shelf in
the Quita Woodward room.







Chang Demonstrates
Painting Techniques

For Chinese Exhibit

Deanery, March 12.—Professor
Chang Shu-Chi, one of China’s
foremost artists, gave a demon-
stration of his country’s technique
of painting at a tea given by the
Chinese Scholarships Committee
and the History of Art Depart-
ment.

Chinese art stresses rapid, sure
brushwork, which Professor
Chang illustrated with birds, flow-
ers and fish. This customary sub-
ject matter dates back to Ming
times. Dr. Chang is.a representa-
tive of the modern adaption of the
ancient tradition.

Professor Chang’s speciality is
the technique of painting three or
four colors in one brush stroke.
Apparently the artist spends more
time preparing his brushes than in
the actual composition, and, in this
way, he achieves the amazing ef-
fect of creating varied shades and

colors in one swift movement of

Hot Debates Occupy
Stone, Alliance Head







Jessie Stone dropped her copy
of Milton’s prose work and her
hard-boiled egg sandwich and flew
to the phone. Shrieking at the
news of election as War Alliance
President, Jessie said, “I won’t be
able to study for the rest of the
evening.”

Despite the difficulties of con-
ducting an interview over the
phone, what with the operator’s
constant demands for another
nickel, Jessie managed to air her
ideas on what the War Alliance
will do in 1943-’44. “We want to
continue and intensify the practi-
cal war work’ that has been done
and to involve more students in

Margaret V ebster,
Shakespeare Expert,
to Lecture on Plays



A view of Shakespeare through
Alarums and Excursions will be
presented by Margaret Webster,
famous producer, and

author. Miss Webster will speak
in Goodhart at 8:30 on March 20.

Miss Webster became distin-
guished in the United States by
her production o1 Richard II with
Maurice Evans in New York in
1937. This play, scarcely known
to American audiences, had a long-
er run than any other previous
production of it. This was fol-
lowed by Henry VI, Part 1, also
with Mr. Evans, which opened in
Philadelphia in 1937.
light of her career was the pro-
duction of the first complete
Hamlet given in America. Last
year saw her production of
Twelfth Night starring Helen
Hayes and a trial one of Othello
with Paul Robeson given at Prince-
ton and Cambridge in August.
Othello was received with great
enthusiasm and it is hoped it will
go on tour this spring.

As the daughter of Ben Webster
and Dame May Whitty, Miss Web-
ster comes from an old theatrical
family. She started as an actress in
England with the Ben Greet Com-
pany and at the Old Vic Theater in

London, before coming to America.

Students to Report to Taylor After 10:30;
Admitted to Halls by the Night Watchman



New Difficulty in Obtaining
Wardens Necessitates
These Rules



A. new system of wardens will
be initiated for a trial period af-
ter spring vacation. Under the
new plan, all students returning
to their halls after 10:30 p.m. will
first go to a central warden’s office
to sign in and then be let into their
halls by the night watchman. The
purpose of the system is to allevi-
ate the duties of the wardens.

The central office will be -in
Room D, Taylor. Students will go
immediately there on returning to
college after 10:30 and wait until

the watchman takes them in
groups to their respective halls. It
is expected that he will make three
tours every half hour. Escorts
must leave girls at Taylor and not
go to the halls. The road in front
of Taylor will be opened for the
convenience of those travelling by
car or taxi.

At 10:20 p.m. every evening,
signing-out books will be taken to
Taylor. stalled in Room D and anyone
wishing to extend her permission
must call her hall to obtain it from
a. permission-giver who will in-
form the warden in Taylor.

The increasing difficulty of se-
curing enough wardens for all the
halls is the main reason for adopt-
ing this system. The graduate
school is smaller this year and the
number of graduate students avail-
able for assistant wardens has ac-
|ecordingly decreased. It is impos-
sible to expect the regular ward-
ens to be on duty seven days a
week. Under the present system,
it is necessary for seven wardens
to stay up late every night where-
as under the new system there will
be only one.

On nights when a great number
of students would be returning to
the halls after the doors were
locked, such as after main vaca-
tions and college dances, wardens
will let the students into the halls.
The plan will be discussed in the
halls this week, giving students
opportunity to make suggestions.
It is felt, however, that the plan
should be given a trial before any
modifications are made.







Disguised Lovers, Intrigue in French Play
Proves Love Understood in All Languages



Lovers disguised from each
other, mixed identities, intrigue
and misunderstanding — all figure
strongly in Le Jeu de l’Amour et
du Hasard, to be given Friday,
March 19, in Goodhart. The pro-
ceeds from the French Club’s pro-
duction will go to the French War
Relief.

Sylvia;"the heroine, played by
Emily Tuck, disguises herself as
her maid in order to study her
husband-to-be, Dorante. Dorante,
played by Yvette Laneres, has had



lthe same idea, however, and ar-

rives at her home disguised as his
valet. Meanwhile, Lisette, (Fran-
coise Pleven), and Arlequin,
(Mary Virginia More) the real
maid and valet, taking the place of
their masters, make complete louts
of themselves in attempting to



play the roles of persons of high
society. After much prompting
and plotting, brought about by the
all-knowing father, M. Orgon
(Hannah Kaufmann), the course
of true love overcomes all prob-
lems of rank and station. Dor-
ante has fallen completely under
Sylvia’s spell long before he finds
out her true identity, and Lisette
and Arlequin -are even happier
when restored to their“hatural sta-
tions.

Le Jeu de PAcine et aia Hasard
will appeal to those whose knowl-
edge of French may be vague or
nil. A resumé of the action ap-
pears on the program in English.
Romance and intrigue are un-
derstandable in all languages, and
as one.member of the cast put it,
“Perhaps even more so in French!”

War Alliance Assemblies

The War Alliance Assemblies have succeeded in attracting a
large audience, but the question remains, have they fulfilled their
purpose. Although they have attained their aim of reaching the
majority of students, have the lectures brought to the students the
message the Alliance intended them to bring? The speakers have
realized the general objective of the lectures, but have failed to
fulfill the need that the Alliance wishes.

This series of assemblies was designed to stir student thought
on current issues aroused by national and international affairs. The
first assemblies have not supplied any factual material about world
questions, but have only presented the background material of the
situation, Their material was a mere crystallization of general data
and theories which seemed fairly obvious to the majority of the
audience. Such summaries should not be the dominating theme
of these assemblies, for they provoke no thought about the future
and present complications of this war. Lectures on topics such as
the diplomatic relations of Russia and America, and the fate of
British imperialism are needed to take the students beyond their
customary acceptance of general abstractions on the nature of the
war. Causes of war and beliefs of the people should be included
among the factors of the issue presented, but the issue should be
the main theme of the lecture.

The first two speeches with their introductory material have
proved that the war assemblies have something valuable to offer.
They have had the difficult task of blazing the trail and indicating
the direction future speakers must take in addressing an audience
with such wide range tastes and knowledge.



United Nations Forum

The United Nations Forum held in Philadelphia last week had
many serious deficiencies which are worth discussing, not only
because of the wide publicity given the meeting, but also because
some of its faults have also been characteristic of other post-war
discussions.

The first matter deserving of comment is the list of speakers.
In the afternoon session both China and Great Britain were repre-
sented by government officials of those countries. Walter Duranty,
“Dean of Foreign Correspondents,” spoke for the Soviet Union.
In view of the importance of the Soviet Union in the war and post-
war periods, and especially because it is a country basically different
from all others, the failure of the Forum to have an official Soviet
spokesman seemed both unfair and weak.

The content of the speeches demands comment far more than
the persons who gave them. Nothing was said that was either new
or stimulating. All of the speeches had the superficial character
that has caused many sincere people to lose all interest in the pre-
vailing post-war discussion. The most serious fault of the con-
ference in general, as of most other post-war chatter, was the
marked avoidance of problems that face the United Nations now.
Avoiding these crucial questions serves no purpose but to demoral-
ize and disgust those who come to such meetings to learn.
~ To illustrate these points it will be useful to discuss certain
aspects of the Duranty and Bullitt speeches.

sidy, Duranty said further that “Admiral Standley may be perfectly
right.”

As many editorialists in our press these days, Duranty passed
off Stalin’s statement about bearing the brunt of the war as a great
exaggeration whose intention was simply to cheer on the Red Army.
Mr. Duranty’s comment on this statement, moreover, ignored the
other and most important half of Stalin’s sentence which noted the
continued absence of a second front.

Despite his long stay in the Soviet Union, Duranty allied him-
self with that enigmatic school of thought who consider Russia
simply “an enigma within a mystery within an enigma.” Stalin,
he said, “plays close to his chest.” Further, Duranty tried to de-
velop understanding and trust in the U. S. S. R. on the basis of an
inaccuracy. He fell for the current line that the Soviet Union is
not a socialist country, or at any rate, is moving farther and farther
away from Socialism. This, he thought, he proved by saying that
all wages are not equal in the Soviet Union. The only Socialism
which demands quality of wages is G. B. Shaw’s brand. ‘This sort
of misinterpretation gets one nowhere. Sooner or later the people
who believe this “bosh” will learn the truth and it won’t make for
better U. S.-Soviet relations. We might as well accept the fact
that the Soviets have Socialism and that they’ll probably keep it, in
view of the way it’s serving them.

It remains to consider Mr. Bullitt, whose remarks were so

shocking that even Governor Stassen departed from the Forum’s’

smooth procedure politely to note his disagreement with Bullitt’s
remarks which the latter gave forth as “realism,”. but “hard-boiled.”

Mr. Bullitt’s speech was supposed to be a lesson on how “we
shall . . . be able to win the fight for our proposals, . . . to obtain
the assent of the United Nations to our proposals.” And suppose
Britain wants us to assent to its proposals or China its or Russia its?
And, anyway; aren’t we always saying that the aspirations of all
peoples are essentially the same? If that is true, if our proposals
are merely an implementation of the Atlantic Charter, why must we
fight for them?

ples upon which America is built.
One reply that the plan was ter-
rible was based on disapproval of

; social reforms at this particular

time. Another remarked that it
had a “very dangerous side” which
should be considered carefully:
the danger of too much security.

| The difficulty of paying for such a

gigantic undertaking was also
brought up but this did not bother
nearly as many people as we would
have expected. Apparently we are
becomifig conditioned to tremen-
dous spending.

The general opinion seemed to
be vague, and except for a few
cases, mainly uncrystallized, as
the details are for most technical
and poorly understood. With “a
step on the way to Socialism” at
one extreme, and “essentially
we’re by far the most backward of
the industrial nations in social
planning,” at the other, a large
range was covered. In spite of
this, the total opinion was, as said,
an appallingly meager body of ma-
terial. We offer it for what it is
worth.

OPINION

AttackB. M. Cloistered Life;
Cooperative Basis Offered
As Solution

To the Editor of the News:

I noticed in a recent copy of the
Vassar paper that the whole col-
lege is now on a cooperative basis.
Is there any reason why Bryn
Mawr can’t do the same? I admit
it is very pleasant to have one’s
room cleaned and to have formal
serving, but it is hardly necessary.
Having a cooperative system here
would not only save the college
and the students money, but would
give the girls work experience
which will help them in getting
jobs after graduation.

I have talked with many girls in
other colleges where such systems
are now in effect. They all say
that they enjoyed the work and
got to know the others in the hall
much better while working with
them. Why must the Bryn Mawr
girls lead such a cloistered and











pampered life?
A SOPHOMORE.

Owls’ Basketball Six
Loses to Swarthmore



Gym, March 13.— The Swarth-
more basketball team added Bryn
Mawr to its list of conquests, with
a 80-20 victory. It was not much
of a contest for Swarthmore. The
Red team pushed ahead in the first
quarter and continued to increase
its lead in the succeeding periods.

The game began at a slow pace
and only for short-intervals reached
a really rapid tempo. Brilliant
passwork and shooting were nota-
bly absent and play was anything
but open.
alone saved the game from being,
at times, a sloppy exhibition of bas-
ketball.

Seven seconds after the begin-
ning of the fourth quarter, Bryn
Mawr dropped in a basket, adding
two points to the score.

Magnificent defense

Wasting
no time, the Owls then took advan-

tage of a penalty throw and netted
an additional tally. Though still
behind, it looked as though the
Owls would come back with one of
those last-minute scoring sprees
they have put on against Penn and
Ursinus in previous games, but
their rally faded as quickly as it
began when Swarthmore got the
ball and started bombarding the

basket.

Owl Swimmers Beaten

In Swift, Close Meet

Especially Contributed
By Ruth Alice Davis, ’44

Swarthmore, March 13.—In the
most highly contested meet of this
swimming season, the Bryn Mawr
Varsity was narrowly defeated by
Swarthmore. The final score was
36-30.

Of the speed events, the 50-yard
free style and the 50-yard breast-
stroke were won by Ty Walker,
745, and Mimi Boal, ’43, respective-
ly. The latter event and the 50-
yard back crawl were the most
exciting individual events. In
both events, the swimmers who
placed first and second waged a
close battle straight through from
the dive to the very end of the
last. lap.

As a whole, the diving was su-
perior to the usual. All four div-
ers are good, and all were in spe-
cial form in this meet.

The Bryn Mawr Varsity Squad
announced two new members:, Es-
telle Davis, ’46, and Virginia Arm-
strong, 745.

ment the Atlantic Charter. The
United Nations must cooperate in
such a way, he said, “that there
may not be too great a measure of
disillusionment in any nation af-
fected by the post-war settlement.”

Walter Duranty said that the U.
S. S. R. will “cooperate with us in
the war, in the peace and after the

peace.” The Standky ® cident. ac-
cording to Mr. ‘Duranty, was
“rather a storm in a teacup.”

Mrs. Roosevelt spoke about Ts
individual responsibilities of citi-
zens in the war effort. She said
that in order to make democracy
work we must “really translate it
into terms of our daily lives.” Our
next responsibility, she said, is to
“think on every question that is
presented to us, that deals with
what our responsibilities may be
in the future, and to make up our
minds that we will understand
economic questions.”

William Bullitt, speaking on
“What is Realism?”, said that the
United States must use its power
now, “while we have it. ; or
lose the peace,” He said we must
not rely “on the power of words to
convert men to .righteousness.”
“When a foreign government will
not move in the direction in which
we want it to move,” said Mr. Bul-
litt, “there is only one way to
make it move and that is by co-
ercion.”

Governor Stassen presented his
plan for a “United Nations of the
World.” He said that “the win-
ning of this war must come first.”
Mr. Stassen felt that his plan was
most practical because it could
“develop gradually out of our as-
sociations together in this war.”

Vocational Speakers
Talk on Civil Service

Personnel and WOW’s

Deanery, March 13.— “Person-
nel Work, Factory Work, and In-
spection of Materials” were dis-



cussed at Saturday morning’s vo-

cational conference py Mrs.

Charles Little of New York, Miss
Almeda Bard of the Frankford
Arsenal, and Mr. John King of the
U. S. Civil’ Service Commission in
Philadelphia.

'“T cannot tell you how strongly
I feel about the importance of per-
sonnel work as a career,” stated
Mrs. Little, who is at present do-
ing personnel work with the Navy
League Consultant Bureau. The
immediate task of the personnel
workers, she said, is concerned
with the large turn-over taking
place in’ war industries today.
With 6,000,000 women expected in
direct war work by the end of the
year, the responsibility of person-
nel departments will be large, Mrs.
Little emphasized. They will not
only have to hire women and fit
them into jobs, but also provide
proper facilities for them and
nurseries for their children.

The work done by WOW’S, wo-
men ordnance workers, at Frank-
ford’ Arsetial--was described by
Miss Bard. These women work
with everything from small pre-
cision lathes to massive drill
presses. Miss Bard seemed to feel

that there is work at the Arsenal |

women while Elizabeth Mercer
showed their dark blue slacks and
white shirts. Both girls wore the
red and white WOW bandanas.
Although Mr. King covered sev-
eral types of Civil Service employ-
ment in his discussion, he stressed
the work of junior engineers. A
ten weeks training course will
qualify women college graduates
as junior engineers and will as-
sure them of an immediate posi-
tion. The women will not be qual-
ified engineers,but they will know
enough of the fundamentals of the
profession to relieve the shortage

| Magician, Air Corps High Spots of Carnival,
_ Drawing for Bond Climaxes Gala Evening



By Polly Graham, ’44

Sophomores in black gowns and
red-ruffled hats, vendors in flow-
ered skirts, the Air Corps in the
usual khaki, and Dr. prague in
green eye shade made the Sopho-
more Carnival a colorful and noisy
success. Breaking the evening’s
ice, the fire-eating Mr. Gardiner
Pearson exhibited a series of baff-
ling tricks, leaving the audience
with an intense desire to join the
Magicians’ Union and jlearn how
to palm an ace or edudte a pair
of dice. t

Dancing, periodically punctu-
ated with Paul Joneses, proved the
order of the evening, but other di-
versions did a _ brisk business.
Bryn Mawr and the Air’ Corps
were paired off by the somewhat
primitive but nevertheless . effect-
ive method of drawing lots. The
entertainment. included all the
more agreeable features of your
little brother’s birthday party and
a genuine county fair. There was
a coke-bottle-tennis-ball bowling
alley on one hand and a ravishing
lady promising rosy futures on the



of male engineers. Mr. King said
that the need for these ‘women is
great.

“If you are at all qualified for
this work,” he urged, “I suggest
you try it, because engineers are
one of the things we need most to-
day.” ae

other. You could play bingo or
pin the mustache right in ger
Fuerher’s face. Balloons and |} !I-
ipops and ice cream were’ to’ be
had for the price of a little red
ticket (also to be had for a price).
We were soon introduced to a par-
ticularly delicious kind of cruller
which accounted for several red
tickets. Strangely enough, numer-
ous people seemed to be thorough-
ly .enjoying themselves’ while
throwing their money away in the
pitching-penny game. Those of a
more inquisitive nature could pa-
tronize the grab-bag.

Drawing the winning ticket for
the War Bond, Miss McBride pick-
ed several names conspicuous by
their absence. She finally awarded
the twenty-five dollar bond to
Nancy Sapp, ecstactic -non-Res.
Pat Brown won the large and
beautiful door prize. Obviously a
creature of rave personality and
charm, the pink and white ele-
phant with a “truncated trunk”
was reluctantly handed over to its
excited winner by Dr. Sprague.
Awarded too by lottery, were the
Carnivals’ seven posters. Weary
Sophomores, weary Air Corps, and
wearier undergraduates deemed
the Carnival a successful achieve-
ment.

Chang Demonstrates
Painting Techniques

his brush. His work is slightly
hampeéred-by’ the fact that-he can
no longer obtain the Chinese
gouache paints and silk, and has
to use American paints and paper.

Professor Chang has his own
theory of art, which asserts that
Chinese painters have good brush
technique but that they do not plan
their work.. Western artists have
the opposite approach, and he tries
to combine the two qualities. He
plans his work mentally before he
commits it to paper, knowing ex-
actly where even his own signa-
ture will lie ‘in the composition.
“His head seems stocked with
many suggestions and recollections
of nature, which pour out with the
greatest of ease and lack of hesi-
tation,’ comments Mr. Sloane.
Although his technique seems s0
effortless, it took him about 30
years to attain this perfection, and
it is because of this extensive
training that he can work so fast
and surely.

Professor Chang sold all five of
the pictures at the tea and col-
lected $100, donating the money
paid for reproductions of his
works to China Relief. He ‘is in

this country for the duration and

hopes to return to Bryn Mawr
again when he is less rushed.
