War Alliance Opens Front}Registration for Cotirses

For Volunteer Action
At Meeting



Goodhart, October 15, 1942.—
The War Alliance officially opened
the Bryn Mawr Front last Thurs-
day at a Mass Meeting in Goodhart
before a large group of students.
Pointing to the lack of spirit on
campus and the poor response
to registration for: war courses,
Chairman Betty Nicrosi urged an.
awareness and interest in current
events, and an enthusiastic back-
ing for the newly - christened
“War” Alliance. Its aim is to
become a democratic organization
creating and expressing a Bryn
Mawr majority opinion. Several
sttidents spoke for the various de-
fense, now ‘war,’ courses.

A total of 50 peopie had regis-
tered for the first semester war
courses, indicating that only 10
per cent of the Bryn Mawr stu-
dents are interested in the Alli-
ance’s effort toward preparedness.
Emphasizing this fact, Betty Ni-
crosi urged action on the Bryn
Mawr. Front.

Speaking on behalf of Nurses’
Aides, Natalie Bell stressed the
great need for trained assistants,
promising that an_ accelerated
course would be given if twenty
people registered. Two hundred
thousand pints of blood are wanted
by the Army and Navy, said Jackie
Wilson. Margaret Browder called
for hairpins, girdles, and dilapi-
dated curlers to swell the Scrap
Salvage Drive. The “glamorous
end of war work” was featured by
Anne Byrd Woods. Bryn Mawr
girls are to provide glamor at the
Philadelphia U.S. O. the first Sun-
day of every month.

Ten other courses, some new to
the college, were enumerated by
Catherine Clement. They included
First Aid, Advanced First Aid,
Nurses’ Aid, Shorthand and Typ-
ing, Nutrition, Training for Chil-
dren’s Center Leaders.

The War Bonds and Stamps
Campaign on campus was opened
by Bebe: Biberman in a speech cal-
culated to awaken the lethargic
Bryn Mawr girls to the serious-



ness of the situation.

Organized by Alliance

Increases



Since the Mass Meeting of the
War Alliafice, the registrations for
war courses have increased to 100.
The following courses’ are avail-
able:

First Aid: Two courses are giv-
en. Miss Yeager teaches twenty
hours of standard first aid, and
ten hours of advanced first aid.

Shorthand and Typing: These
courses are given at Harcum.

Nutrition: Students may study
the theory and practice. of can-
teen work. | ”

Air raid precaution: Four lec-
tures are given concerning air
raids, and they must be attended
by air raid wardens and their sub-
stitutes,

Nurses’ Aides: This course re-
quires four hours a week, three
weekends, eight hours on Satur-
days and Sundays at the Bryn

Mawr Hospital, and 150 hours to

Deanery Patrons Narrowly Miss Disaster
While Student Waitresses Gaily Cooperate



By Barbara Hull, ’44

Student waitresses have invaded
the Deanery. Swing skirts and
yellow bows, combined with sing--
song mutterings of “water and
menu, butter and order,” - rush
from the dining room to the kitch-
en and back again. Everyone
' seems well pleased with the New
Order—particularly the waitresses.
“It’s fun,” they say, “not to men-
tion the food!” Their only con-
cerns are their expanding waist-
lines. .It is little wonder that the
regulation skirts were made easily
adjustable,

Long, low whistles, originating
from traditionally staid male fac-
ulty, greeted the new régime’s de-
but. Since then, reports indicate
that Deanery professorial behavior
has improved with the innovation.

There have been few mishaps,
but several close calls. Miss Mc-
Bride will never know how nar-
rowly her hat escaped a cascading
shrimp shower. And there was the
spoon that missed Miss Ward’s
neck by a hair’s breadth. Breath-
less apologies followed the , blow
which resounded as a meat platter
connected with the back of a. hos-

like and, we h



tess’ head. Yet the long-suffering
clientéle remains patient and for-
giving, a fact much appreciated
by harrassed Movices.

“Ar allowed to accept
tips?” asked one unabashed patron.
Confusion. ‘Well—it doesn’t real-
ly matter.” But now there is a
pat phrase which seems to fill the
bill; a smile, tempered with “It
isn’t at all necessary.”’ Most of
the tips go toward war stamps.

There is one thing upon which
all members of the kitchéen-dining
room link agree: their job is teach-
ing them how not to behave when
they themselves are ordering food,

The waitresses have not yet
formed a union. They’re not even
politically minded. They relax
mentally while on the job, and are
glad to substitute “chocolate fudge
cake, honey dew melon, vanilla
and strawberry ice cream, apple
sauce” for history dates and math
formulae. ;

You are cordially invited to eat
at the home-like Deanery—home-
ten to add, dig-
nified. Come and let your profes-
sional friends spill coffee in your
laps.

Alumnae Will Return
In Mid-Week to Join

in Inaugural Festivities



Alumnae Mid-week promises to
bring many old graduates to the
campus for the inauguration of
Miss McBride. This change from
the customary Alumnae Week-end
is another effect of that request
which has revolutionized the Col-
lege schedules—the railroads’ re-
quest in the effort to relieve con-
gestion.

The Alumnae will register in the
Deanery on Wednesday, October
28, and a supper will be served
for the Class Collectors and Club
Representatives. They will be al-
lowed to visit classes on Thursday
morning as a_ substitute for the
lectures usually presented on Sat-
urday morning by some depart-

ment.

New and Gayer Spirit Shown by Freshmen
P While They Realistically Consider Self-Gov.



By Mary Virginia More, ’45
Forewarned is forearmed! This
must be our reaction to some of
the extraordinary statements made
on the Freshman Self Government

examination. Particularly note-
worthy is the progression of ideas.

We can begin with the qualita-
tive statement that the duty of a
member of the Self Government
Association is the spiritual de-
velopment of the student. At first
glance this struck us as a com-
mendable if impractical ideal of
the function of Self Government—
then the horrible hidden meaning
dawned upon us: the implication
that such development was neces-
sary. However, passing over that,
we struck an example of extreme
thoughtfulness on the part of one
student. With a delightful sense
of laissez faire, she saw the duty
of a member of Self Government
as taking the irresponsibility of
the students off the hands of’ the
college. To this may be added
the comment that the function of



the permission giver was to keep
“comparatively moral.” -
The next thing to receive our
attention was the question of cha-
peronage. It appears that the
student should be either

in thes.
hands of a responsible person, or
of a hotel manager. The word

“manager” was carefully crossed
out by the correcter and “man-
agement” was inserted. Another,
whom we accused of flippancy,
tossed off the question of chaperon-
age with the remark that she was
a pretty good chaperone for her-
self.

Others were more naive. There
was the case of Jane Freshman
whose friend smoked in her room.
“I guess I should either have told
my friend not to smoke, or I should
have hidden the cigarettes.” There
really isn’t very much to say to
this. The casual note yas struck
by the solution to Saad oak after

ten-thirty without having signed

out: Ring the bell and pay a fine.
On which note of easy realism
we close.

Three College Cooperation Grows as War
Depletes Faculties, Increase Opportunities



By Alison Merrill, ’45

In the usual surge pressing in
and out of Taylor every hour on
the hour, more male students can
be seen this year. Meekly they
pick their way through the ciga-
rette smoke and the plaid skirts,
hurrying back to the safety of
their bicycles and Haverford. And
if you are ever out in the bleak
morning air around eight, you
might see a sleepy Bryn Mawrtyr
hopping on her biké and tearing
off in pursuit of more knowledge.
The answer to it all is that co-
operation between Bryn Mawr,
Haverford, and Swarthmore is
greater than ever this year be-
cause of the war’s demands on the
faculties.

The purpose of this cooperation
is not primarily to lighten the load
of the much reduced faculties, but
to provide a diversity of fields
within the departments. It was
hoped, in developing such coopera-
tion and exchange, that the three
small colleges could gain varied
possibilities for study and _ still
retain the advantages of a small

college.

Caps and Gowns
All undergraduates are ex-
to wear caps and

The Radio ||’

|Concert to be Given

!

| By Tri-County Group



Virginia Lewis, well known Ne-
gro-soprano, will be soloist at the
first concert to be given this sea-
son under the auspices of the Tri-
County Concerts Association, on
: Wednesday evening, November 4,
at 8.30,‘in the auditorium of Rad-
nor High School, Wayne.

This is the second season for the
Association, which is a unique or-
ganization in the music life of
America. There is no admission
fee to the concerts; everyone is
welcome. Nearly 2000 people at-
tended the two concerts last year,
which featured as soloists William
Kincaid, first flute; Edna Phillips,
first harp; Samuel H. Mayes, solo
’eello; all of the Philadelphia Or-
chestra; and Ann Simon of the
Philadelphia Opera Company.

Miss. Lewis, who, like Marion
Anderson, is a Philadelphian, has

country. As soloist at a special
sang before an audience of five
hundred guests.

Of her performance in a Town
Hall recital in New York, the critic
of -The-New~ York Times wrote:
“Undoubtedly Miss Lewis, who
made an instant success, is one of
the most generously talented sing-
ers of her race.”

Her appearance in the Radnor
High School Auditorium will be
her first anywhere on the Main

Line.
Cand ahs







Common Room,
Mrs. Manning, speaking on India
and the Cripps proposals, stressed
the problems of the British gov-
ernment over anxiety to safe-
guard British minorities, and, more
important, their refusal to allow
the formation of a national militia.

The British in the past have
taken so many precautions to pro-
tect minorities that they have, in
failing to-give adequate represen-
tation to the majority,_almost_de-
feated the aim of democratic gov-
ernment. In the Cripps proposals,
each of the autocratic Indian
princes could have sent delegates
to the proposed constituent assem-
bly. These men, chosen by the
princes, would almost certainly
have conflicted with the Indian
Party Congress, which represents
the great majority of Indian peo-
ple.

The princes would be given full
liberty to remain outside the new
national state, on terms of com-
plete autonomy. Under these con-
ditions, the chances of the new
state might be seriously endan-
gered.

The negotiations broke down on
the question of arming the Indian
people tdé-constitute a national mi-
litia, - It keems clear that General
Wavell and the Viceroy were un-
willing to take this risk. In view
of India’s past history, they quite
|naturally feared that the people,
once armed, would cause trouble
if displeased by the government’s
actions. Equally understandable
is the Indian leaders’ feeling that
if the Cripps mission was to unite
India for the war, India must be
given genuine responsibility in
figkting the war.
