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.

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.

telle Davis, ’46, and Virginia Arm-

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.”

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.
