Motives of War,

Professor of International

Assemblies
Goodhart, March 1.—‘We can
only have a practicably organized
world politically through continu-
ants of the idea of federalism,”
stated Dr. Quincy Wright. Stress-
ing “the inadequacy of man’s poli-
tical organization of the world” as
a cause of war, Dr. Wright advo-
cated a system of federalism with
“the maximum of independence and
autonomy among separate units to
maintain peace and moderate free-
dom of trade.”
Dr. Wright, professor of Inter-
national Relations at the Univer-
sity of Chicago, opened the series
of war assemblies at Bryn Mawr
with his discussion of some aspects
of the causes of war, with specific
reference to the present war. War,
Dr. Wright asserted, arises not
from a “single germ, but from a

Herben, Tchekov Make ‘Standing Room Only’ New War Ma jor
A Spirited, Humorous Satire of Campus Life Plan Announced
Fortune,, Maypole Dance,
USO, Air Corps and
Madge Daly Featured -
By Apr:l Oursler, ’45
Standing Room Only, presented
by “the faculty and other hired
’ in spite of its length, kept
up a good sense of humor and an
help,’
even better sense of satire during
the whole evening.’ The er
theme of the show was best ex-
pressed by Dr. Herben’s statement
that “College is the metamorpho-
sis from cuckoo to butterfly.” Cur-
rent campus life provided the fac-
ulty with everything from For-
tune’s article and the Maypole
dance, to the USO, the Air Corps,
and Madge Daly. The Three Sis-
ters and Dr. Herben’s Baccalaure-
ate address were the main features.
There was a tendency for the
show to drag as a result of an in-
termission followed by the auction |
and a slow-moving act. This was
increased by a large part of the
dialogue being inaudible. It was
the clever songs and dances, skill-
fully accompanied by Mr. Lafford,
of Haverford, that maintained the
spontaneous spirit throughout.
It was a stroke of genius to turn
Tchekov’s play about the dullness |
in the life of three intellectual sis-
ters into a satire of Bryn Mawr.

velopment of fascistic tendencies
in Germany, Italy and Japan, ex-
plaining the essential similarities
and differences in these philoso-
phies depending on the individual
country.
Miss Taylor served with the Red
Cross in Italy and the Balkans
during the reconstruction period ;
after the World War, and later
studied in Germany, for some time.
Distinguished in many fields she is

Preparation for Post-War
_ Reconstruction Work
| Arranged
Goodhart, February 26.—A new
plan for Interdepartmental Majors,
enabling students to prepare for
work in war and post-war recon-
struction, was outlined by Presi-
:dent. Katherine McBride last Fri-
‘day. Under the new system, based
;on the best advice from heads of
agencies and governmental com-
mittees, three planned majors are
open to Freshmen and Sophomores.
They are International Administra-
tion and Reconstruction, Commun-
,ity Organization and Reconstruc-
tion, and Languages for -Reeon-
| struction.
Each fi2!d includes work in so-
‘cial sciences and languages. The
|requirements are the same for all,
‘so that the major can be changed
iwith ease. One unit each of Eng-
lish Composition, Science, and Phi-
losophy, two units of a primary
‘language, one of a secondary lan-
iguage are required, as well as two
units of History, one of Geography
‘and one of International. Relief
Administration. Three new courses,

New Majors
The three new inter-departmental majors which offer direct
preparation for reconstruction work have been acclaimed by the
whole college. It has taken fourteen months for the Administra- |
tion to finally adjust the college to the demands and innovations of |
the war, but the plan which they have presented is sound and
thorough, one that will not have to be revised with each new. emer-
gency. It is a far-seeing plan not only because it deals with recon-
struction work but also because it will prepare citizens for the post-
war world. The emphasis placed on economics, politics, and social :
welfare will enable graduates to understand more clearly the prob-
lems which face our government and will produce wiser voters and
legislators.
A plan with so much to offer must not become too restricted.
Those students who do not wish to change their present major field
should be allowed to take some courses in the new majors if they
can meet a certain level of requirements. This is important for
science majors who are taking pre-medical courses. There will be a
vital need for doctors in reconstruction work, and a course in social
welfare or in advanced language training has more use and signifi-
cance than some of the reading courses, such as archaeology, which
are now offered by science majors.
Until recently, it has seemed that the science departments
have borne the entire burden of preparing girls for important war
time positions. Now the social sciences have presented their facul-
ties and resources. Concretely and practically the Administration
has showed us how the Liberal Art College can maintain its posi-
tion in a world at war.

played .an increasingly important
role in campus activities, there has
been conflict and confusion over
the functions of each organization.
|The plan for a council provides a

tem as a solution to the problem.
The council will consist of lead-
ers of the six organizations under

college conferences. Dues for Self-

while the League will continue the
Activities Drive. The appointment

A reporter set out to unearth
the campus opinion on the latest
| spectacle to send Bryn Mawr reel-
| ing, the Faculty Show. Ignoring
jthe blasphemy of one dissenter
who stoutly maintained she had
been suspended between a hiss and
a sigh throughout the production,
the reaction seemed fanatically
appreciative. A Junior, who was
| siezed upon in the German house,
became so entangled in extrava-
gant adjectives that, after a few
redundant “superbs” and _ colos-
sals,” she lapsed back into the
mother tongue; she announced
| soulfully it was a “schmuck” and
beamed with an air of completely
covering the situation.
Two Sophomores peacefully

warily when questioned and final-
ly said with-careful caution that it
had been “revealing.” “From a
purely sensual point of view,” one
stated with indisputable sopho-
moric wisdom, “things will be look-
ing up in the classroom from now

paused for startled contemplation.
“All I can say is Mrs. Manning’s

Furthermore she admitted she had

Kichelberger Explains
League Organizations
Common Room, March 2.—In an
effort to arouse more interest in its
activities, the League gave a tea
for all undergraduates. President
Helen Eichelberger explained the
functions and emphasized the
needs of the organization. “Every-
one in the College should contrib-
ute in one way or another to the
activities of the League,” she said.
Committee heads gave more de-
tailed accounts of their work, and
emphasis was placed on the Bryn
Mawr Camp which needs help, es-
pecially from the Freshmen, for
the coming summer. Other work
of the League includes the Haver-
ford Community center and the
Bryn Mawr Play Center. Labor

Junior voted for every year, but
the Freshman thought it should be
every semester! All of which
leads us to consider how sobering
an education can be.

Dr. Evang Cites Need
Of Nutrition Method
As Economie Factor
Specially contributed by
Ruth. Alice Davis, °44
Dalton Hall, February 24.—The
growing necessity for world-wide
readjustment of National Public
Health Organizations in the post-
war period was emphasized by Dr.
Karl Evang in his lecture on Nu-
trition and Public Health. Dr.
Evang, who was, the Surgeon
General of Public Health in Nor-
way, until the German invasion
discussed not only the importance
of nutrition in the war, but also
its role as a vital economic and so-
cial factor in peacetime.
The gulf between the actual
amount of nutritional knowledge
and the meager extent to which it
has been applied can be spanned
in part by the further development
of methods.
Nutrition Problem
The chief problem is the nutri-
tion of working adults. They re-
quire generally healthful foods
and especially energy giving mid-
day meals. The Norwegians in-
vestigated this problem in fac-
tories, large offices, and other in-
stitutions, and found a cold noon
meal to be much better than a hot
heavy meal, as the latter causes
both a reduction in output and an
increase in accidents.
In order to achieve this type of
reorganization, team work is en-
tirely necessary. There must be
cooperation between the nutrition-
ists, ~economists, employers, em-
ployees, and housewives. If the
housewife is to be educated in the
preparation and use of good foods,
nutritionists will have to speak in
simple terms of known food stuffs,
not in such unintelligible scientific
terms as vitamins, calories, etc.
Care of Mothers
Numerous “control stations” for
the care of nursing and expectant
mothers should be set up. Poor
nutrition during this most impor-
tant period results in bad effects,
not only for the individual mother
and child, but for society as well.
Many countries have volunteer or-
ganizations active in this field, but
thus far Russia alone has actually
made it a public responsibility.
The nutrition of school children
is by far the most fully developed
field. thus far. Carefully planned
school meals were introduced in
Norway, as much as an education-
al measure as a corrective supple-
ment to the children’s usually inad-
equate diet. Typical foods used
are milk, whole wheat bread with
butter, whey cheese, cod-liver
paste, raw carrots, and apples.
Through the children, the house-
wives were unconsciously educated
to better habits, thus a dual end is
achieved from this one type of
public health endeavor.

causes.” Countries need to have
economic resources only to increase |
their capacity to make war. Not- |
ing the technological causes of war,
Dr. Wright emphasized the differ-
ence the airplane has made in the
causation of war. A common
ideology, he continued, is neces-
sary for war. We are fighting an
organized philosophy based on the
theory of racial superiority of one
group over another, and of man
made for the state rather than the/
state for man. |
All this “leaves everything to
be endured and nothing to be
done.” There are factors in war,
the practical factors, which we can
do something about.

Dr. Kéhler came from Germany
several times to lecture and had a

Many of his successful lectures
such as the W. James’ series, “The
Place of Value in a World of Fact,”
have been published as books. “The
Mentality of Apes,” which has been
translated into many languages,
proved of vital significance in the
development of psychological the-

\|Gay Evening with Nearby Meteorologists
ee ‘9, Feature Scenes from Freshman Show
By edals Belle Reed, 44
Great festivitiés will take place
in the gym Saturday night for the
purpose of entertaining the Pre-.
Meteorologists, a branch of the U.
,S. Army which is studying at Hav-
erford. Sweeping skirts will brush
thé newly-varnished floor for the
first time since the gym had its
iface lifted. It is highly probable
that the colorful. background will
have a psychological effect of in-
spiring gaiety which could never
be achieved before the worthy place
lost its tattle-tale gray.
The high spot of the evening, as
it is planned, is not the inevitable
refreshments, although they will
not_.be ignored, but the presenta-
tion of parts of the Freshman
Show. (Shades of Errol. Flynn!)

which were the greatest successes,
