Educators Ask
Women to Aid
Defense Work

Miss McBride Attends
Service Meeting
In New York

‘Especially contributed by
Alice Mitchell, ’52

Gathering a thousand people to-
gether in a hotel ballroom to draw
up a pattern of action for half the
nation for the next ten years is an
audacious undertaking. The Amer-
ican Council on Education’s con-
ference on Women in the Defense
Decade, held in New York on Sep-
tember 27 and 28, set out to con-
sider all aspects of woman’s role
in the 1950’s. No such conference
had ever been held before and an
attack on the problem in its en-
tirety was, some thought, long
overdue. “Since we acknowledge
nationally that we have entered
what is called a period of defense”’,
said one of the delegates, “it is
high time that the duties and re-
sponsibilities of women be defined
for that period, and that they be
explained and let women get on
with the jobs”.

If the task before the conference
was staggering, the delegates were

at least-as able a group as could!

have been found to tackle it. Miss
McBride, Mrs. Cox, Miss Biba and
I, representing ‘Bryn Mawr, found
ourselves among labor leaders,
business women, engineers, church
leaders, women politicians and ed-
itors as well as college presidents,
deans of women and «xollege stu-
dents, interspersed with a sprink-

Newly-Launched
Friends Give Aid
To BMC Library

“Libraries are not made; they
grow”, said Augustine Birrel, and
the newly-launched Friends of the
Bryn Mawr College Library have
taken this as their motto. The Li-
brary has long needed the interest
and financial support of those in-
terested in the advance of scholar-
ship. Last spring it was decided
to form a Founding _ Committee

which could enlist such support,
Mrs. Jacques L. Vauclain was
elected chairman of the committee,
and some seven hundred appeals
were sent out. To date over three
thousand dollars have been receiv-
ed. Donors are automatically ac-
corded the use of the Library,
which is renowned especially for
its resources in the departments
of classical literature and archae.
ology, modern languages, Oriental
ant, and certain of the sciences.
The Friends of the Library will
hold special cards entitling them
to full privileges, and designating
them as the supporters of this ex-
cellent institution.

The money coming in each year
is to be used for the purchase of
books. It may go to one depart-
ment or to many, depending on the
current needs.

If this year’s enthusiastic sup-
port continues into the future, the
Library should become progress:
ively larger_and finer.



The Undergraduate Associa-
tion is very pleased to an-
nounce the election of Anne
Foley, 53, to the office of Com-

mon Treasurer.









Dutch Freshmen From English School
In Buenos Aires Arrive at Bryn Mawr

by Patricia Murray, °52

Lyke Ooiman and Carla Kauf-
mann are two Dutch girls who
have just come to Bryn Mawr from
Buenos Aires.

As I entered their room, which
is on the third floor of Merion, I
was welcomed by Carla’s smile
and Lyke’s,

“Well, what can we tell you’?
Then both of them hurried into
talk, each corroborating the other,
almost without my having to ask
questions. Lyke and Carla have
a quick, eager way of speaking
which seems to translate a desire
to put one at ease.

Carla, the tall, dark-haired one,
began:

“Mother and I chose Bryn
Mawr when we came to the States,
college-hunting, in 1948. Of all
the colleges we saw, we liked it
best. Lyke and I have been close
friends for years, so it was natur-
al that she come with me.

“Lyke and I went to an English
school, Northlands, in Buenos
Aires; it was a girls’ school run
entirely on the English pattern.

We were 800 in number, mostly| .

English and Anglo4Argentines.
The school was divided into four
‘houses’, or divisions, with a self-
government consisting of house-
-eaptains and prefects. . After. the





six primary grades which are
entirely in English in the morn-
ing and in Spanish in the after-
noon. _You might learn long division
by the English method in the
morning, but in the afternoon you
had to do it in Spanish. We had
mostly literature courses, no sci-
ence.

“Lyke and I were house-captains
the last two years. We were sup-
posed to keep order—you know,
keep lines straight in assembly
and that sort of thing. We were
responsible to the teachers. Under
our honor system you could win
marks in sports and for good work
in class; you can lose them for dis-
order. Every month we had to
a each girl’s points in a
black book”.

Carla has a way of speaking
which provokes images. Here one
imagines a huge notebook black-
ened with columns of points.

I asked about the other schools
in Buenos Aires. It was Lyke,
who is short and blonde, who ans-
wered this time.

“Each foreign colony, Dutch,
French, German, English, Amer-
ican, has its own school, run ac:

cording to the pattern of its own
/country. _Of course there are the|

“Happy Medium” Provides Preview;
Plans Include Potentates and Politics

‘Posters all over campus adver-
tise the Junior Show as a mystic
experience. Its title “The Happy
Medium” bodes pure and romantic
escape into another world. It will
be all of that; in fact, it -will be
more. History, politics, and even
college also enter into the plot.

The history department mustn’t
expect too much, but still it should
be glad to hear that Henry the
Eighth is mentioned at least once.
And Corrie Voorhis, as an Eastern
Potentate, does considerably better
than ‘Henry, with four wives at a
time. In rehearsal Corrie chuck-
led happily at her situation, bal-
ancing first one wife, then another,
on her knee.

Politics is at the very core of
the show. The reporter of politi-
cal events, Janie Martin, is on the’
trail of a story and finds himself |
with considerably more than he
had bargained for. The interna.
tional goings-on are of course
cloaked in red. One lilting melody,
sung with lamblike delicacy, is
called “Veto, Veto, Veto’; some-
where in the middle it deteriorates
into the rousing bars of “Meadow-
lands”. ‘Nearer home there are
ambitious politicians: Jackie Lin-
dau is out for money, and Barbara
Pennypacker is out for women.
Pennypacker was so ambitious a

few nights ago that the director,
Kathy Lurker, had to speak sev-
erely about cuddling. This brings
us to women’s place in politics.
Some consider them “good agitat-
ors but not suited for academic
positions”. Ronnie Gottlieb, as
the Medium, has other ideas. She
is interested in neck-romantic arts;
she knows how to put over a song;
her speaking voice is low and hus-
ky (or, as a stage hand remarked
yahoo). She is, in short, run-
ning for the office of Vice Poten-
tate.
Other Aspects

Then too, there will be some re-
marks about Bryn Mawr. It seems
we do nothing but knit, give tea
parties, and go to the flicks, when
we’re not eating at the Hearth or,
perhaps, maypole dancing. Some-
thing is said about Phi Beta Kap-
pa, but it may not be a joke.

Yet the fabulous and fantastic
are not forgotten. Costumes use
the signs of the zodiac. The sets,
worked over by an imaginative
and paint-besmattered crew, prom-
ise to be both worldly and out of
this world. Marilyn Reigle and
Sheila Atkinson stand on _ their
heads for long periods of time
with no apparent strain. Judy, Mc-
Culloch, a lanky blonde who seems
to do anything—absolutely any-
thing—gracefully, cavorts and
teases. M. L, Culver is sawed in
half. And the court jester, com-
plete with yo-yo, is blithely called
Disaster.

Furthermore, the Juniors have
chosen October 13 to present their
show, and as everyone knows, thir-
teen is a supernatural sort of
number,

Alliance Presents
Robert Sherwood

(Robert Sherwood, noted play-
wright and former director of the
Overseas Office of War Informa-
tion will speak at the first Alli-
ance Assembly of this ‘year on
Tuesday, October 16 at 12:30 p.m.
The title of Mr. Sherwood’s ad-
dress is “Rearmament—Morality—
Peace”, and because or Mr. Sher-
wood’s vast experience in the na-
tional defense branches of our gov-
ernment as Special Assistant to
Secretary of War in 1940 and Sec-
retary of Navy in 1945, it should
prove extremely informative.

Equally outstanding in the field
of playwriting, Robert Sherwood
has been awarded the Pulitzer
Prize four times: the first for
“TIdiot’s Delight’, in 1936, follow-
ed by his second in 1937 for “Abe
Lincoln in Illinois. In 1941 his
third prize was for “There Shall
Be No Night”, and his fourth and
most recent prize in 1949 for
“Roosevelt and Hopkins”.



The Class of ’52 takes great
pleasure in the announcement
of the following elections:

WSSF Session

Considers New
Campus Plans

Funds and Fellowship
Essential, Says
McBride

The World Student Service
Fund held the morning session of
its conference in the Common
Room on October 6th from 10:30
a.m. till 12:30 p.m. The purpose
of the WSSF at this session was
to discuss the New World Pro-
gram of World University Service
and consider plans for individual
college campuses.

Following the welcome to dele-
gates representing twenty col-
leges and universities, given by
Lita Hahn, chairman of Bryn
Mawr United Service Fund Drive,
President Katharine E. McBride
spoke on “International Coopera-
tion Through Student Exchange—
Gain or Loss.” President Mc-~
Bride, a Vice-President of the.
Service Fund, stressed the im-
portance of not only helping ex-
change students by funds but also
by offering them the “fellowship”
and solutions to -problems--which
undoubtedly present themselves ta
the foreign students. Miss Mc-
Bride felt that this interest of the
outsider was one factor which
could render the foreign student’s
stay a more successful one; in
studies, in impression, and in fu-
ture results.

Mrs. Emlen, the Regional Sec-
retary of New York and the Mid-
dle Atlantic States, introduced the
second key-note speaker, Mr.
Theodore Harris, former national
president of N.S.A. and associate
general secretary of World Uni-
versity Service. Mr. Harris, now
studying at Princeton, has recently
returned from Geneva with W.U.S.

Foley Takes Office
As Common Treas.

Anne Foley was carefully weigh-
ing her KHp in the Chemistry Lab
when Alice Mitchell appeared to
tell her she had just been elected
Common Treasurer. Anne takes
on a lot of figures with this job as
she is now responsible for partial-
ly budgeting and completely hand-
ling the financial affairs of most
of the clubs. Foley is known to all
for her efficiency, and her new po~
sition will necessitate what she
calls her “fifth bank account.” She.
is relying on the trusty adding-
machine to keep the clubs “out of
the black or red, whichever is the
wrong side”. She has been given
some reserve assets—a large wad
of play paper money—to help out
in time of crisis and a junior po-
lice badge, complete with a sum-
mons pad for all lagging debtors. ©
Good luck, Foley, you sound very
well prepared.

Less Mess

Keeping her room neat is the elementary responsibility
‘of anyone who lives in this community. The principle upon
which college life is based necessitates an understanding of
this responsibility. Yet it appears that the administration
itself must remind us of our duty in this matter. “It is a
misconception current among the students that the maid is
supposed to clean the rooms thoroughly. Actually her job is
to spend fifteen minutes in each room”. These were Miss
Howe’s words at a recent meeting of Miss McBride and Miss
Howe with hall presidents and vice presidents and presi-
dents of Self Gov. and Undergrad, For many of us arrival
at college means greater freedom than we have ever known;
some seem to interpret this as freedom to leave beds unmade,
clothes and laundry scattered about the floor. College wel-
fare depends in large part on the impression we make upon
alumnae and outside visitors. One of the purposes of college
life is to free us from material concerns so that we may get
a perspective on the outside world. In college personal neat-
ness is not simply a personal matter. It is evidence of our
understanding of the reason for which we are sent to col-

lege.
The Sad Truth

Hark, ye students of bloodshot eyes,

Who haunt the Reserve Room with sighs,
Or bend in effort searching for

A book long taken out the door,

And carted to some private shelf—

(Was it, perchance, you yourself?)—

We write in warning of a folly

That leaves librarians melancholy.

Won’t you please use the sign-out card?
Won’t you please show a slight regard

_ For outside members and visitors who
Are shocked by losses scarcely few?
Won’t you please return books on time?
Won’t you spare them from ink and grime?

We know you will with this little hint—
Somehow sad truth looks worse in print! |
Please don’t forget—we hope it’s clear,

_ Not just for you were those books here,

President McBride Corrects News Report
Of Opening Assembly Address
On College Functions

October 9, 1951
To the Editor of the College
News:

The report given the opening
assembly by the College News
will be confusing to those who
were not there and perhaps to
those who were! It is even con-
fusing to’ me because it makes
me wonder’ how confusing I had
been.

Would the News be willing to
publish certain corrections which
are important for the record?

Social Economy has not “more
majors than ever before”, but
more graduate students than any
other department.

I do not think of our task in
terms of “becoming reconciled” to
prolonged tension but in terms of
far greater effort. My purpose
was to consider the chief func-
tions of the university of college
in dangerous times: research,
which is not “predestined” and
which is not done only—as your
reporter has it—“by members of
the college faculty who are on
leave”; learning or teaching, but
not only “in the immediate pres-
ence of visiting lecturers who
come to instruct for a year”, and
a further function in the develop-
ment of thought, which is less
frequently made explicit and so I
spent some time discussing it.

Perhaps you have room in the
News for a few paragraphs from
the speech which should make
these functions clear.

“In the discussions of the func-
tions of a university or college
two are always paramount: teach-
ing and research, For present day
writers, however, these are usual-
ly set in opposition. ‘Mere’ re-
search is found to unfit a man for



Actresses Anonymous
_ Explain Change
In Plans

To the Editors:

To prevent any misunderstand-
ing, we would like to explain the
sudden change in Actresses Anon-
ymous’ plans for a fall production.
After these plans had been made
—and, unfortunately announced—
we were informed by the Dean’s
office of a change in policy: this
year, the freshmen are not allow-
ed to work on any dramatic pro-
duction before second semester.
Because of. the overwhelming in-
terest of the freshmen, we decid-
ed to postpone our production un-
til they could legally join us.

There will definitely be a pro-
duction this spring and meanwhile
there will be active meetings to
train us in the various phases of
theatre. We hope that all those
who are interested will come.

teaching with any relation to the
contemporary world in its en-
tirety, and on the opposite line of
argument teaching is found to
absorb too much of the time of
a “valuable research man”. The
controversy is natural, especially
because of the problems of in-
creased size which are involved—
greatly expanded fields of study,
rapid production of young profes-
sors, greatly increased numbers
of students. Bryn Mawr has a
unique position in this controversy
for it is the institution in the
country most definitely committed
to the point of view that teaching
and research not only supplement
but enrich each other.

“It is not necessary here to il-
lustrate ways in which this pro-
cess works. [Illustrations as a
matter of fact may come to some
of you in your first class. Nor
would it be worth while to spend
any time denying the negative—
that teaching and research are not
sometimes antithetical! I am
more interested in pointing out
the fact, as I see it, that absorp-
tion in this dichotomy has led to
neglect of a third function of the
university or college. This third
function is recognized at Bryn
Mawr, if not always explicitly, but
its importance is such in relation
to existing stresses in the world
that it should be clearly recog-
nized. The third function is the
progress in thought that goes on

through whatever kinds of forum |

the college finds it convenient to

provide, whatever kinds of meet- |

ing formal or informal the mem-
bers of the college happen upon.
The important thing is not the
kind of meeting but the fact that
there is opportunity for easy
meeting.

“This is something other than
research in the sense of group or
individual study systematically
pursued according to predeter-
mined design. It is not teaching
in the sense of communication be-
tween the two groups of faculty
and students only. This important
function of the university or col-
lege that is missed in the teach-
ing versus research controversy is
communication in a wider sense,
all the exchange of opinion that
goes on among members of an
academic community—if it has the
good fortune to be a community.”

Sincerely,
Katharine McBride

League Clarifies

Functions at Tea

Since this is “Know Your
League Year”, the questions to
ask yourself are “What Does the
League Do” and “What Can I Do
For the League?” These ques-
tions were answered for those
students who attended the cider
and doughnuts party given by the
League on Monday, October 8ta.
All freshmen and upperclassmen
who were interested in helping
others, in fields ranging from
Reading for the Blind to scooping
ice cream cones in the Soda Foun-
tain, found their services were
needed.

In every branch of the League
more people are needed, in turn,
to help those who need the
League. To answer the questions
of those people who have not yet
decided in what way they would
like to serve, there is a League
representative in each hall. The
best way to find out the “why”
and “how” of the League is to go
into action yourself.

Current Events

Current Events, Common Room,
Monday, October 7th, 7:15 p. m.
Miss Leighton opened the cur-
rent events lectures by speaking
on the Japanese Peace Treaty
which was signed in San Francisco
on September 8. Viewed in the
perspective of the western powers’
objectives in the Pacific, the treaty
was part of a larger plan 1) to
up Japan as a_ bulwark
against Communism in the Far
East, and 2) to erect a defense
against renewed Japanese aggres:
sion. The general principles of the
Treaty were voiced by Mr. Dulles
last March. First, the peace should
restore Japan as an equal in the
‘society of nations. Second, it
should give Japan a chance to be-
come self-sustaining in the world,
Third, it should encourage close
cultural relations between Japan
and the West, and finally it should
give Japan:'a reasonable security.

The method which was devised
for negotiation and consummation
of the treaty reflects the Com-





munist threat. Invitations were

jissued not to a conference, but to

a ratification of the final draft of
the treaty, so Russia could not op-
pose measures that implicitly im-
_peded further aggression “on her
part.

The treaty itself has seven
| chapters, the first of which con-
cludes the existing state of war
and grants full sovereignty to the
Japanese people. The second chap-
ter ratifies the Potsdam surrender
terms on the territory situation.
Chapter three, the security chap-
ter, contains a non-disarmament
clause and encourages Japanese
self-defense. Political and econ-
|omic clauses in chapter four pro-
vide that Japan shall be subject
ito no discrimination or disabilities
‘in trade. iIt is implicitly agreed
that Japan will accord a favored
policy to the allied powers in trad-
ing, provided that she receives re-
ciprocal commerce agreements.
The reparations articles appear in
chapter five to satisfy the claims
of the Philippines, Indonesia, and
Burma. Japan’s economy could
not afford to pay in cash, so she
must meet the reparation claims
by salvaging, repairing, and serv-
icing raw materials and manufac-
tured goods free of charge. The
final chapters provide for the set-
tlement of disputes and the com-
ing into effect of the treaty after
ratification.

On paper, the treaty is an ad-
vance toward achieving a bulwark
against Communism. Russia fail-
ed to keep Japan disarmed and
free of United States forces. In
general the United States diplo-
macy has beer adroit. Although
the treaty appears lenient and we
have little formal power, much
actual power is in the hands of the’
United States government and ex-
pectation of Japanese loyalty is
greater than if we had not grant-
ed her sovereignty. Japan, how-
ever, has been left with a real
problem: which Chinese govern-
ment to recognize in order to con-
clude the war with China.

Miss Bohlken Revamps Deanery Life:
Sunday Smorgasborg Supper Better

by Frances Shirley, ’53

‘When the News and Miss Bohl
ken, the new. manager of the Dean
ery, finally got together, it was a
warm afternoon. Miss (Bohlken
later said that one of her duties
was to serve as a hostess at times
and she came through magnificent-
ly with fruit cup and sherbet, a
wonderful start for an interview.

A most important part of what
was an almost entire change in the
Deanery committee personnel, Miss
Bohlken took over her duties at the
end of August, and since then has
been busy every minute, she said.
Even though there is an alumnae
committee to take care of the ma
jor improvements like the bath in
the cubicles, there is still a lot of
work to do. However, Miss Bohl-
ken is no stranger to the business
of running an alumnae house. She
did similar work at the Friends
Academy at Locust Valley, Long
Island, and in the summer she
toured restaurants all over the
country, sampling the food and
talking with the managers. She
spoke especially of the delightful
old atmosphere of Antoine’s ia
New Orleans, where everything
has been kept just the way it was
years ago.

\A native of New York City, Miss
Bohlken has lived most recently in
New Jersey. There was a winter
when she was at Daytona, Florida,
with the Morrison Cafeteria chain,
which she compared, or rather,





contrasted with the less stylish
cafeterias of the north. And at
other times she has travelled over
the country, getting experience.
(Some of this experience is being
translated into the menu planning
of the ‘Deanery. The manager
must order the food and plan the
menus, and try to make the dining
room show a little profit. With
this in mind, the Deanery Special!
has been given a place in the
luncheon menu. Even now cheap-
er than the same food would be
a la carte, the Special will increase
in value asthe volume of orders
grows, ~Mrs. Bohlken remarked.
“Already,” she said, “many people
have come to the conclusion that it
is a good idea.” The Sunday eve-
ning buffet will be more complete-
ly Smorgasbord in style, she add
ed, so that people will be able to
help themselves to as much of
their favorite foods as they wish.

: Even as she talked, another
change came to light. One now
has to pay a deposit on keys, a
way of assuring the management
that absent-minded. guests don’t
walk out jingling door keys in
their pockets.

(Miss Bohlken kept emphasizing
the delight she took in being busy
every minute, and as supper time
neared, one could easily see what
she meant. [People came in droves,
and so the News slipped out, won-
dering if Miss Bohlken would ever
find time to read a copy.





Free University
Opens in Europe

General education and training
for future leadership in a free
world will be the purpose of the
Free Europe University in Exile,
opening its first academic year on
November 1, 1951. Directed by
the judgment of the Awards Com-
mittee, the National Committee
for Free Europe will select. stu-
dents who are unable to continue
studies behind the Iron Curtain
to attend the school.

In cooperation with the Free
University, a French branch will
operate from within the Chateau
de la Robertsau near Straus-
bourg. It will be there that stu-
dents of every race, color, and
creed will meet in international
fellowship and study primarily
history — the national cultural
heritage.

Three programs of studies have
been developed: the first will al-
low students to keep in contact
with their homeland with the use
of the facilities of Radio Free
Europe; the second program pro-
vides assistance to _ individual
exiles along employment and
asylum lines; the third will pro-
vide scholarships for the young
Eastern European exiles whose
educations have been interrupted
by political conditions.

The students being considered
for such scholarships must have
passed the baccalaureate of Hu-
ropean Universities or its equiva-
lent, must be between the ages
of 18 and 82, and must be those
who, most assuredly, will develop
their previously displayed char-
acteristics of leadership and use
them constructively in their home-
land when conditions permit.

Student Presents Academic Aspects

Of the Junior Year

by Paula Strawhecker, ’52

A great shock came te the mem-
bers of last year’s. Sweet Briar
group when we learned that only
a very few of us would have
classes with French students. This
discovery also brought our great-
est disappointment; we had never
been promised courses’ with
French students, we had never
asked about ther, we had simply
taken them for granted.

Because few of us were ac-
quainted with the competitive
educational system in France, we
had not realized what an enor-
mous burden we would have been
undertaking by entering the reg-
ular classes.

It is not enough for a French
student to be intelligent; it is im-
perative to be more _ intelligent
than the other candidates since,
despite the actual level, only the

3 Plays Oct. 18, 19

Three presentations of the
Theatre-in-the-Round, to be given
in Haverford College Commons
Room on October 18 and 19, will
be Il Janitoro by John Davison,
Haverford, ’51, In the Zone by
Eugene O’Neill, and According to
the Law by Noel Heusten. .Il
Janitoro, a parody on grand op-
era, stars George Lamphere,
Gwen Davis, and Bob Reynolds
and is directed by William Reese.
Members of the Haverford-Bryn
Mawr orchestra will provide the
instrumentation. In the Zone, di-
rected by Tom Wood, ’53, brings
intrigue on the high seas to the
circle theatre stage in the persons
of Jack Allen and Eric Blanchard,
’55; Joe Stein and Stumpy Mat-
teson, ’538, and Haverford Profes-
sor Ken Woodroofe. Directed by
Haverford Professor Wayne
Booth, According to the Law
deals with the false accusation
and hanging of a negro, and fea-
tures Roger Euster, Robin Nevitt,
and Labron Schuman.

The plays presented on the cir-
cular stage of the Theatre-in-the-
Round provide a welcome contrast
to the conventional style of the
modern stage. Challenging to the
actor and interesting to the audi-
ence, these plays revive the med-
ieval circle stage and merit the
attention of any who enjoy the

Abroad Program

relative level counts, and only a
small percentage can be received
at each exam. School is a serious
business, the courses specialized,
the hours of outside preparation
very long, and the competition in-
credible.

Thus it would be contrary to
the aims of the Junior Year
Abroad program, the introduction
to many aspects of French life,
for a student to spend all her time
doing classwork, the probable
result of trying to follow the
French student’s full program.
The Bryn Mawr French depart-
ment, however, recommends that
French majors take at least one
of these regular courses,

Most of the courses which were
open to us last year fall into three
categories: those given especially
for the group by professors from
the lycees and taught at Reid
Hall, headquarters for the group
until this year; the courses at
the Ecole de Preparation of the
Sorbonne for foreign students in-
tending to teach French in their
own countries; and the Cours de
Civilisation Francaise also given
at the Sorbonne and for foreign
students.

The Reid Hall courses were
quite general, and covered what is
offered in the first two years of
French at Bryn Mawr. The lit-
erature courses (17th century and
19th century) were intended for
those students in the group who
were not French majors, but who
wished to broaden their generul
knowledge of French literature.
The Cours de Civilisation were
even more general, but included
many fields, literature, art, his-
tory. Although special supple-
mentary classes were given at
Reid Hall for those taking the
Cours, they are not recommended
by the Bryn Mawr French depart-
ment,

As it does each year, the Ecole
de Preparation offered a demand-
ing but intensely interesting
course in ,contemporary French
literature.

In addition there was an excel-
lent course in modern’ French
painting at the Ecole du Louvre,
given especially for the group, but
substantially the same as offered
in the regular three year program,
Advanced French composition and
translation were offered at Reid
Hall, as well as beginning, inter-
mediate and advanced training in

Since membership in the Col-

and valuable experience to become
a member of that group.

Senior Recounts South American Idyll
Citing Friendliness, Scenery & Sports -

by Cynthia Sorrick, ’54

“The thing that impressed me
most about South America was the
wonderful friendliness of the peo-
ple and their effort to help a per-
son unfamiliar with their language
and customs”, recounted Anne
Chambers about her vacation this
summer. “Their food, their mu-
sic, and their country are wonder-
ful!”

The contrast between the old
and the new is strikingly evident
throughout, especially in Lima,
Peru and Santiago, Chile, where
many of the buildings constructed
before the Spanish conquest stand
intermingled with hotels and of-
fice buildings of the most modern
design. And though twentieth cen-
tury methods have been introduc-
ed, the native farmers and crafts-
men continue to cling to age old
modes of industry and transporta-
tion.

“Skiing one week, swimming the
next” highlighted Anne’s visit in
Santiago, with her sister, Mar-
garet. July and August (mid-
winter in Chile) are the best for
skiing in the Andean resorts, such
as Farellones above Santiago. Yet



further north along the coast at
Zapallar, she was able to enjoy
swimming and sun bathing in the
Pacific. She described the coast as
being very much like that of
Maine with its small expanse of
sandy beach, then rocks and trees
right down to the ocean’s edge and
hills rising above that. “It seemed
so strange to be swimming in a
month which corresponds with our
January”.

‘Much to her surprise, language
was not the barrier she had first
supposed it would be. She was de-
lighted to find that she could hag.
gle over the price with shopkeep-
ers as well as the next person and
could hold her own at the various
social functions which she attend
ed.

Anne returned to the United
States via the Argentine Pampas
and Buenos Aires, sailing this
time up the Eastern coast of South
America with a stop at Trinidad
where the famed calypso singers
made up a verse for each member
of their party. She arrived home
tired, happy, and convinced tha:
South America is the place to
visit.

Junior Year Curriculum |: University Education Too Expensive For Most Students In Middle East;

Includes Living in Paris|' ©) TT WSSF Hopes To Inject Desire For Mutual Self Help By Building Hostel
Continued from Page 3 Continued from Page 1 In the Middle East, namely|'World University Service, the in-

othér languages, all taught in
French, not English. These are
by no means the only courses
available, but those which seemed
to be the most popular.

The only students to follow
regular French courses were those
who studied at the Ecole des Sci-
ences Politiques which offered
history of the 20th century, inter-
national relations in the 20th
century and a study of the Prin-
cipal Currents of European
Thought. Even these students,
however, did not do the same
work as their, French counter-
parts, they attended the lectures,
but took special written and oral
exams.

Last year, because no advanced
or specialized courses were avail-
able to those who were unable to
take the course at the Ecole de
Preparation, many French majors
found themselves studying no
French literature at all. The Bryn
Mawr French department strong-
ly recommends that its majors
take at least one of the special-
ized literature courses given for
French students preparing for the
licence (the approximate equiv-
alent of the M.A.), which will af-
ford an opportunity to become
acquainted with both French
methods of teaching and with
French students.

However, organized study and
the actual classes are only a part
of the year, The French family
expects its American student to
go to her classes, do her work,
and then have a good time. And

to every major part of the globe
in which WSSF funds are helping
and will help. Before covering
the programs of each section, Mr.
Harris stressed the fact that al-
though the work of WSSF and its
related organizations has not pre-
vented wars, it has been one
group of this type which lasted
throughout them. This strength
of purpose to aid students and de-
velop university sites is one
which does not deflate under
pressure,

At the Oslo Conference of WUS
this summer, 160 representatives
of 32 countries considered and
carried out changes and plans.
Mr. Harris covered the following
areas and their plans.

The European program, because
of thoughtful German delegates,
was devised by transferring to
India and Eastern countries, a
great percentage of the aid now
received by Germany. The Ger-
mans considered their needs com-
paratively few in relation to those
of many other peoples. The
Refugee Service will continue to
free students from refugee camps
and transfer them to accepting
countries. One of WSSF’s newest
and most outstanding European
projects is the scenic and health-
ful International Rest Home for
students; most patients here are
tubercular,





(,

Egypt, the word “education” means
secondary schooling only. Ninety
per-cent of the people are not
served by educational institutions
because of the extreme cost of
living in universities, in both
Cairo and Alexandria. By inject-
ing a desire for “mutual self-
help”, the Fund hopes to build,
with local help, a Hostel outside
Cairo to house those students un-
able to pay.

Later, in a question period, Mr.
Theobald Brade—Swarthmore—a
German delegate of the Berlin
WSSF, emphasized the splendid
work of the Fund, but made a
plea for more foreign students to
study in Germany.

The important question of Ko-
rea was raised and Mr. Harris
pointed out that WSSF was at
present in contact with the
branches of the U.N. for educa-
tional aid, but no move could be
instigated until war is abolished.
Over and above interest in the
people and the Fund, Mr. Harris
advocated that we develop a reali-
zation that these plans are the
cradle of the international educa-
tion of the world, and the basic
step in student communion here
and throughout the world.

The afternoon session of the
World Student Service Fund Con-
ference began with a discussion
of the Overseas Program for the
next year. This concerned the

ternational organization of which
the WSSF is the American branch,
Following this, Miss Elizabeth B.
Emlen, the WSSF regional secre-
tary, reported on the work done
last year in the colleges in this
area. ‘Most of the major colleges
in this vicinity were represented
at the conference. .

There was then a discussion of
the campus program plans. These
plans included organization and
chest drives, administration, pub-
licity and education, solicitation
and special events. The delegates
also ‘considered other worthy pro-
jects, including the UNESCO gift
coupon plan, the CARE~WSSF
book and package plan, area pro-
jects and Earmarking Funds. The
session closed with a discussion of
the DP Placement Program, with
which the WSF is vitally con-
cerned.

Association, 2027 Chestnut Street,
Philadelphia. Dr. Mildred B. Nor-
thrup, Professor of Economics at
Bryn Mawr will speak on Monday,

New ‘School Night’|)**

Arouses Intellect

by Betty-Jeanne Yorshis, ’52

“To my mind,” said Mr. Michels,
“School Night is the most inter-
esting and exciting experiment in
education ever made”. He was
speaking of the series of ten and
twenty-three week evening courses
given for adults, and sponsored by
the Main Line “School Night As-
sociation” for which he acts as
liaison, with the faculty of Bryn
Mawr College. The reasons for
Dr. Michels’ wholehearted ap-
proval were immediately given.
“School Night” is a community
project, a non-profit corporation
which ‘manages with remarkably
low tuition to bring a variety of
opportunities for adult self-im-
provement to those who wish to
use them. As of last year, some
thousand people have annually
attended the courses ranging from
Candy Making to Modern Art, and
Architecture, or from Contract
Bridge to the World in Crisis.

ling of interested men. There were
some “big names’ present—Elea-
nor ‘Roosevelt, Edith Sampson,
Lillian Gilbreth—but it was. the
ability and enthusiasm of the
group as a whole that was im-
pressive.

_I was struck by what I cannot
help calling the maturity of the
conference. Perhaps (heaven be
praised) we have at last left fem-
inism behind us. There was no
mention of women’s rights, only of
women’s responsibilities. The del-
egates approached most of the
problems of the defense decade not
as women specifically but as citi-
zens. There was little flag-wav-
ing, a minimum of rhetoric, and a
general desire to get down to busi-
ness. In spite of the title of ¢he
conference there was more empha-
sis on strengthening democracy
than on merely defending it. The
spirit was distinctly creative.
Above all there was no hysteria—
no talk of war or atomic bomb-
ings.

Considering the difficulties of
predicting the future, the delegates
had reached a remarkable unanim-
ity on what to expect in the ’50’s.
The conference assumed, perhaps
because it is the only workable as-
sumption, that we are in for a ten-
year period of armed “peace”, but
that there will be no war. It as-
sumed that there will be women in
the armed: forces and women in de-
fense industry, but that most wom
en will be called upon, not to find
Leave jobs, but to do their old ones

Because there were so many as
pects to be considered and because
the conference was trying to cre-
ate a blueprint itself, not just lis-
ten to speakers, the delegates
were divided into eight working
sections on the home, education
the armed forces, creative leisure,
etc. Discussion in these sections
was stimulating, but it cannot be
said that their conclusions were
startling. aes

There was a lot of emphasis on
the value of the home and keeping
; the family together, coupled with
the feeling that, at least when the
wife works, the ‘husband should
help relieve her of the double bur-
den of housework. As Dean Mac-
Intosh put it: “We need to re-eval-
uate our concept of marriage”.
There was a great deal of stress
on the importance of adapting ed-

ucation to changing conditions,
both by improving our schools and
by developing techniques which
will get elementary economic and
political concepts over’ to large
groups of adults. “Every house-
wife must be an economist”, said
Anna Lord Strauss. In particular,
she must understand what is caus-
ing inflation and how to combat it.

We heard continual emphasis on
the community as a unit of action.
Individuals, families, and schoois
must ‘be made to feel that they are
participating in community action.
This feeling of participation is
particularly important for. wom-
en, since women are so apt to un-
derestimate their own abilities, to
feel that they should leave opinion-
forming and action-taking to the
men. ‘Women must be made to
feel that what they have to con-
tribute is important.

The only really startling recom-
mendation of the conference was a
resolution, passed by a close vote
in one of the sections, calling for
a nation-wide registration of all
women from 18 to 65. It was
thought that this “would be con-
vincing evidence of the need for
womanpower and would provide an
important inventory of the avail-
able skills for essential civilian
and military services”. (Whether
sufficient jobs are available to
warrant this amount of paper
work and how these skills would
be brought into use (since no draft
of women was proposed) is cer-
tainly open to discussion.

If the conference was agreed
on basic assumptions, was thought-
ful and stimulating and yet pro-
duced no bold new conception of
the role of women, it is because we
have already reached an advanced
stage of agreement on the general
outlines of the job to be done.
What we need now are better tech-
niques and these will not be devel-
oped in conferences; they will be
developed in the field. At any rate
this conference has made it per-
fectly clear that this is no time for
women, particularly educated wo-
men, to complain about lack of op-
portunity. The jobs are there.

The new and permanent addi-
tion to the Physical Education De-
partment this year is Miss Helene
Savad of New York City. Miss
Savad received her B.A. from

Brooklyn College, where she was
not only the president of the
Athletic Association, but also the
winner of the award for the most
outstanding graduate of the class
of 1948. After her graduation she
went to Smith for her M.A. in
Physical Education, and_ since
then has been on the staff of
Carleton College, Northfield, Min-
nesota. :

Here at Bryn Mawr Miss Savad
teaches or assists in teaching all
of the sports, but her major in-
terest is in the dance. She has
been making plans with Lita Pi-
card, president of the Dance Club.
At this moment they are reorgan-
izing the group, and drawing up
a new constitution. Miss Savad
says that although many of the
old members of the club are not
here this year, there is still a
fine nucleus with which to start
the new season. Her aim for
those who take dance is to “build
up a definite foundation in tech-
nique in the dance, before getting
involved in a big production.” She
would like to see the Dance Club
put on a good program for Arts
Night and other college functions.
This year the club will be a much
more serious organization, and
tryouts will be judged according to
both ability and interest. Even a
pianist has been acquired for the
meetings, so the old tribal thump
of the drum will not be as famil-
iar as it has been in the past.

In her views on Bryn Mawr,
Miss Savad has paid us all a great
compliment when she described
the students here. “They seem
extremely adult, and have the

And Observes Campus Sporting Blood

ability to make their own deci-
sions’. Her opinion is that a teach-
er should be a guide, not a dicta-
tor, and is pleased with the way
the students here are open to sug-
gestion. The way Bryn Mawrtyrs
assume responsibility also delights
her.

Bryn Mawr is fortunate in hav-
ing Miss Savad on the staff, as
she has many new ideas to offer,
and also has the wonderful ca-
pacity of being able to understand
a problem and offer a solution to
it at a glance, Looking like a
carefree freshman in her blue
shorts and white shirt, Miss Savad
has already, in the short time that
she has been here, won great ad-
miration from those who work
with her.

Buenos Aires Freshmen
Patiently Describe Pasts

Continued from ‘Page 1

Argentine schools also. The colon-
ies consist mostly of people sent
to B. A. on long-term business
ventures. They often bring their
famiiies but do not expect to be-
come citizens of Argentina”.

Carla and Lyke are Dutch citi-
zens. They speak Dutch at home,
English at school, and Spanish on
the buses of Buenos Aires. Carla’s
father had just brought his fam-
ily from Holland when the war
broke out.

Lyke talked about their social
life in B. A.

“T think you are much freer than
we are. We used to go to parties
every Saturday night, but until I
was seventeen I didn’t go out
alone”.

“Yes”, added Carla, “Daddy used
to have to take us to parties and
drive us home afterwards”.

With a gesture she sketched her
father, sleepy but resigned, driv-
ing home. his giddy daughter af-
ter a party.

Lyke continued, “Boys and girls
don’t date as they do here. A girl
invites her friends, boys and girls,
to meet at her house. Every sum-
mer, when we have winter weather,
we used to have a special party
when we did Scottish dances. We
used to go in groups of eight, and
practice for months beforehand.

“It’s very difficult to get to know
the Argentines, whose social life
is distinct from ours”.

Both Carla and Lyke seemed
doubtful that what they said
would be interesting to others; al-



School Night Offers Advantages of College Resources to Main Liners;
Diversified Courses Give Adults Chance to Pick Up Threads of Learning

Continued from Page 5

From the interest in crafts, the
adult students have turned more
and. more to: academic courses;
i. e., courses which are less prac-
tical and more abstract. In fol-
lowing this trend, the School
Night Association asked faculty
members of Bryn Mawr and Hav-
erford Colleges to come in on the
program and even, as in the case
of the Modern Art and Architec-
ture course, for which slides and
other equipment are needed, to
use the college campus for lecture
purposes. Now five courses are
given on either the Bryn Mawr or
Haverford campus, and the ten
week semester has been length-
ened to twenty-three weeks..

The fact that such opportunities
are offered to Main Liners is com-
mendable, but the fact that Main
Liners have responded to the of-
fer with such enthusiasm is mag-
nificent. Mr. Michels said, “There
is a surprising number of classes
with absolutely regular attend-
ance”. No credit is given and no
prerequisites are required for the
courses but they are attended by
an “interested and eager group of
people’ whose only desire is to
learn.

Mr, Sloane, one of the profes-
sors who taught a course at the



though if they are tired of ex-
plaining themselves to people they
did not show it.

“T hope you will be able to make
something out of all that”, said
Carla.

school last year, and who with Mr.
Soper will give Modern Art and
Architecture this year, spoke of
the challenge offered by teaching
such adults. Since “there is no
uniformity in the classes one
teaches”, there being barbers,
housewives, businessmen all in
one class, and since the class is
not a “captive audience” like un-
dergraduates, Mr. Sloan said these
conditions “put one on one’s met-
tle, and one can tell only by the
attendance and reluctance of the
class to leave, whether the course
is good.” Perhaps Mr. Sloane’s
experience with childish Peeping
Toms, who were interested in his

art lecture given in abhigh school
physics lab one Hallowe’en nig,
was instrumental in bringing the



course to the Bryn Mawr campus.
He thinks partaking in School
Night is “rewarding teaching”,
“The people are eager, something
which undergraduates are not, or
if they are, they conceal it. Adult
education is a great thing because
it gives adults an opportunity to
pick up threads of learning,’’ he
concluded, summing up the opin-
ion of all those who are connect-

ed with School Night.



The Class of ’53 announces
with great pleasure the follow-
ing elections:

First Junior Member to Self-
Goy., Corrie Voorhis.

Secretary of the Athletic As-

soc., Judy McCulloch.

tora Camel!





This classy campus caper-cutter got his snootful of
cute cigarette tests. It didn’t take him long to dig out
the fact that cigarette mildness can’t be determined
by a mere single puff or quick-sniff experiment!
Millions of smokers, on and off the campus, have discov-
ered there’s only one true test of cigarette mildness.
IT’S THE SENSIBLE TEST... the 30-day
Camel Mildness Test, which simply asks you to
try Camels as your steady smoke — on a day-after-day
basis. No snap judgments. Once you’ve tried Camels
‘for 30 days in your “T-Zone” (T for Throat,
T for Taste), you’ll see why...
