Problem of Convoying

England safely. At present, the

combined navies of Germany, Italy |:

and Japan exceed the British and
American by 200 vessels. British
shipyards, filled with boats being
repaired are being bombed con-
stantly so that production in Eng-
land is at a standstill.
International Law

Agnes Martin explained the In-
ternational Law on convoys. Con-
stitutionally, the President as
Commander-in-Chief can send our
navy anywhere, but no American
merchant ships can enter areas
which the President. declares to be
war zones. Under international
law no neutral can convey a ship
carrying contraband of war, and
the enemy.can assert the right of
visit, search and seizure on any
neutral_.ship in war Zones. There-
fore, it would be a breach of the
law for us to convoy ships to Bri-
tain. Some believe that we are
not bound by the Hague Conven-
tion because when a covenant is
broken by one party the other par-
ties are not bound to observe it.

Public Opinion

Betty Nicrosi reported on Pub-
lic Opinion. According to the Gal-
lup poll ten days ago, she said, 67
per cent of the country was against
convoys, but three days ago, this
number had decreased to 50 per
cent. Fifty-one per cent of Con-
gress is for convoying and 45 per
cent against it. :

Pro and Con

Catherine Clement discussed the
attitude of important’ individuals
toward convoys. The President
evades the issue and seems to be
searching for a means short of war.
In April he said that “Convoys
mean shooting and shooting means
war” and that he had no inten-
tion of sending convoys to Great
Britain. There are four import-
ant arguments used by those in
favor of convoys: 1), we cannot
allow our goods to be sunk; the
tax-payers wouldn’t like it, and it
would be violating our policy as ex-
pressed_in the Lease-Lend_bill; 2),
the British cannot convoy all
alone.. At present their rate of loss
is three times gréater than that of
production; 3), half measures
won’t work. Together the U. S. and
.Great Britain can defeat Hitler by
keeping the seas open; 4), Repre-
sentative Joseph Baldwin of New
York believes that a convoy extend-
ing halfway will-keep us out of the
war.

There is only one argument used
against. convoys, she concluded,
convoys mean war. ~°

violent but expressive weeping of

Acute among.the problems of the
joint production was the dressing
room situation. The gentlemen
“of dark and dismal fate” were
ousted to the “Union” ‘and the
ladies given the dressing rooms.
Friction followed the stage crew’s
insistence on storing materials in
the dressing rooms and shouts of
* femininity echoed not only on the
stage, but also behind it.

All in all, the greatest outcome

of the enterprise was good will and-

“solidarity forever” between the
two colleges. At supper before the

Great Business Need
For Personnel Work,
Declares Mrs. Little

Goodhart May 5. — “In every
type of business, there is someone
needed for personnel work,” Mrs.
Charles Little declared at the Vo-
cational Tea where she spoke on
Opportunities for- Women in Per-
sonnel Work. Personnel work is
working with people in organized
groups. It offers an uncrowded
field but at the same time demands
definite qualifications,

Personnel work brings the dual
responsibility of pleasing the com-
pany which the personnel worker
represents and of fitting the appli-
cant in a situation where he will be
happy. Consequently, a knowledge
of the people with whom the ap-
plicant will work and an ability to
judge the applicant are necessary.
One must be sympathetic and alert
to. people’s. personalities. If an
applicant is misplaced, his whole
future life may be affected.

Voice training said Mrs. Little
is an important tool for interviews,
and typing and shorthand are use-
ful to take quick notes. In this
work—much like that of a doctor’s
—physical endurance is vital. A
course in accounting is often de-
sirable so that one can express
cases in mathematical as well as
social terms. Finally, tolerance
and patience are indispensible—
one is constantly dealing with two
sides: the employers’ and the em-
ployees’.

The_best training for such work
is in department stores where one
can get the employees’ point of
view and _ see_ their problems.
Schools for personnel work are
good but not vital, for one can get

Two Doubles Matches _
Win Varsity Victory

From Swarthmore





Swarthmore College; April 30.—
The Bryn Mawr Varsity Tennis
Team defeated Swarthmore Col-
lege 3-2 to gain an eleventh hour
victory. Trailing 1-2 at the conclu-
sion of Singles’ play, the Yellow
and White ‘took both Doubles
matches to win.

Waples, ’42, playing 1st Singles,
was in poor form, and lacked con-
trol when extended. Maizie John-
son,- playing very well, won 6-0;
6-1.

At 2nd Singles, Marion Johnson
lost an exciting match to Matthai,
43, who played beautifully; her
game showed good anticipation,
penetrating forehand and _—back-
hand drives, and a forceful net at-
tack.

Fleet, ’43, lost the 8rd Singles
match to Hennie Tomlinson 6-1}
6-1. While she was the more force-
ful player of the two, Fleet was
unable to outsteady her opponent
and win their long rallies.

Matthai and Norton, ’42, defeated
Johnson and. Johnson 17-5; _ 6-1.
They showed good teamwork and
accurate placements, and. above all
they gave their opponents oppor-
tunities to defeat themselves.

Fleet’ and Waples, showing both
control and confidence to hit hard,
had no difficulty defeating Swarth-
more’s 1st Doubles pair, 6-1; 6-2.

Personnel work isiuseful not only
as a career but in the experience
one gets from it. ‘Make the per-

Little concluded,
perience as avocation.”

people are taking up Rugg-beating

empty tummy is worse than being
awakened with the sun by giggles
and quavering voices outside the
room of the senior next door. Jun-
iors may swear but at least they
can go back to sleep.

Everyone knows by now that I’m
talking about May Day... I have a
few theories about May Day which
are irrefutable when you have wit-
nessed three of these annual fes-
tivities. From. a detached point
(second floor Rhoads South) my
coolly critical eye surveyed the
scene and I came to the conclusion
that May Day was an invention
of the devil, I mean-the seniors.

‘In the first place, they make
Sophomores wake them up (is that
the true sisterly spirit?) and then
to sustain themselves, they insti-
tuted the tradition of coffee and
sticky buns provided by their hu-
man alarm clocks. While every-
one stands. around gloomily rub-
bing hollow midriffs, these same
seniors gloat down upon them from
Rock Tower. By this time, their
gluttonous souls are ready for more
food and they romp gleefully off
to Miss Parks for another break-
fast.

But now comes the most insidious
part of the whole set-up; after two
such hearty meals they begin to
worry about their figures. Instead
of doing a normal thing like go-|[
ing off into a corner for ten: push-
ups and ten touch-toes, they make
the whole soggy-toast-and-coffee-
fed college dance hectically around
the green with them. --!

And as a final insult, while
everyone else pants wearily on the
grass or frantically clutches at the
nearest tree, they all race madly
toward a little stone sundial push-
ing hoops before them. They say
it-proves that seniors aren’t senile,
but my theory is that it’s just the
second breakfast.
