Continued from Page One
Smith Bill is not the length of the
working week but of time and a
half pay for extra hours. Eng-
land’s attempt to lengthen the work
week has demonstrated that effi-
riticize Congress
hours and that the efficient week
varies from industry to industry.
That an educational campaign is
necessary to reveal the situation on
the industrial front has been shown
by statements of the President and
Donald Nelson, which contradicted
widely circulated statistics ‘and as-
sertions.
The Congressional vote to con-
tinue the Dies Committee was cited
as an example of its stubborn at-
titude, since Congress was_ con-
fronted with clear evidence of the
committee’s complete failure to
serve the national interests and
its dubious methods of procedure.
Numerous Congressional commit-
tees, it was pointed out, are headed
by inadequate people. Senator
Reynolds, head of the Military
Affairs Committee, in particular,
has had affiliations with a native
fascist organization, the Silver
Shirts.
The discussion emphasized that
it is our responsibility to know our
Congressmen and their voting rec-
ords. The Alliance is planning a
campaign to arouse interest in
Congressional activity. The fac-
ulty, Miss Stapleton said, would be
glad to co-operate in such an effort.
She pointed out the crucial nature
of the primaries this spring and
Congressional elections next fall.
We should not only familiarize
ourselves with Congressional can-
didates but also work among polit-
ical groups now organized to pub-
licize the past and present political
activity of these men, particularly
with regard to the war effort.

Travel, and Exploration,” published
in England in 1987.
The Grants returned co Montreal
in 19386. Mrs. Grant had a posi-
of the Board plus captains and
managers of major and minor |
sports, has recently amended the |
Constitution of the Association.
These changes will be included in|
the revised Freshman Handbook of |
1943 under the appropriate section.
It is hoped that the Point System
especially will be less of a mystery,
and mean neither more nor less
than it should.
The heads of the Riding, Danc-
ing, Modern Dancing and Folk-'
Dancing have been added to the|
Council. The vice-president no}
longer has sole responsibility for |
the point records of every student.
She will be helped by. the Sopho-
more and Freshman members, who
must check up on the niembers of
non-varsity teams of Fall, Winter
and Spring. This is in addition to
their other duties. The vice-presi-
dent is in complete charge of all
arrangements for the use of the
station wagon,
The Rules of the. Association,
evolved separately from the Con-
stitution, Have been distributed un-
der the appropriate articles. Two
of the rules have been altered.
Eligibility~ for sports now reads
that “a student may compete in|
intercollegiate games for eight se-|
mesters” instead of for “four
years.” Under: the Varsity By-
Laws graduates are no longer eligi-
ble for varsity teams!
The most important change has
been the revision of the Point Sys-
tem... However, this will affect only
1945 and subsequent classes. Feel-
ing that the college blazer should
only be given for all-round ability,
regardless of the total number of
points earned, a qualification was
imposed: the recipient must be
able to include points from two
different major varsity teams
among her total count. This num-
ber has been raised. The old and
revised systems follow:

Membership in the Dance Club is
awarded to promising aspirants of |
Miss Petts’ dancing class. The
Athletic Council, recognizing that)
at Bryn Mawr, at least, this form
of dancing is closely bound to the
athletic program, has agreed to
award the owl insignia and 500
points to those members of the)
Dance Club who meet the stand-|
tion, partly research and partly
secretarial, with Dr. Wilder G.
Penfield, director of the Montreal
Neurological Institute, and also of-
fered a course in the history of the
|Near East at McGill University.
In 1939 she came to Barnard,
where she was assistant in charge
of student organization and social
affairs.
Mrs. Grant plans to give a his-
tory course on the Near East at
Bryn Mawr.
Mrs. Grant is the daughter of
Mrs. Luis James Phelps and the
late Mr. Phelps, of New York. She
has a six-year-old son.

B. M. Varsity Scores
In Playing Badminton
With Rosemont Team
Merion Cricket Club, March 18.
—Bryn Mawr, playing hard and
fast badminton, won four out of
five matches from Rosemont. The
three single and two _ double
matches were played with diversi-
fied talent, each side showing
strength and ability in several de-
partments.
Mariana sifeie outstroked
the first singles
match, but thé latter showed her
agility by getting some almost “im-
possible shots.”
The first doubles match revealed
Latin, which position she now
holds. She has also served as Act-
ing Dean of the Graduate School,
in 1936-37 and 1940-41.
Miss Taylor will devote half her
time to teaching. and half to her
administrative duties. A graduate
of the University of Wisconsin, and
a Ph.D. from Bryn Mawr, 1912,!
Miss Taylor has taught at Vassar |
from 1912 to 1927, and has been!
acting professor in charge of ‘the!
School of Classical Studies at the|
American Academy in Rome, 1934-|
35. She is the president of the|
American Philological Association:
for the current year.
Miss Ward

Dean this year, was reappointed
Director of Admissions and ap-
tion of Dean of Freshmen. Miss

pean Fellowship for the study of

She has served as Director of Ad-
missions since 1933 and has been
Acting Dean in 1937-38 and 1941-
42.
and fifteen years as Professor of |
pointed to the newly-created posi-/
the excellent teamwork of the Bryn
Mawr players. They scored on
placements and outmanoeuvered
their opponents. Although Keo
England and Sylvia Choate showed
lack of practice against the strong
matched Rosemont pair, this is the
first time either has played in a
varsity match, and their hard-hit-
ting rallies must be praised.
