Down behind Rhoads at the side
of the all-weather tennis courts
stands the Applebee Barn, a rather
inconspicuous structure of stone
and wood. This building has been
given to the Athletic Association
to renovate and to use as the Or-
ganization sees fit. At the dedi-
eation of the Scull Property to
Miss Applebee and Miss Taylor
early last fall Miss Applebee gave
the A.A. some money in order to
start the renovation. For this we
are more than grateful. Since
last November the A.A. has been
mulling over ideas for the Barn
and it is time to tell the College
as a whole of the plans.

Naturally the details of use and
government can only be definitely

Shepherds and Sheep Gazed Entranced

The spring of the year has ar-
rived again, and the time is come
when we shepherds and shepherd-
esses leave our homes, and go with
our sheep and lambs into the
fields. Today was May Day, too,
and a most gay occasion, with the
maidens from the village on the
high hill dancing on the green,
and music of the band playing the
familar song.

The dancers themselves moved
in the distance, for they were coni-
ing from other halls, but the lady
of all this land passed close to tne
tree and bench. She had an es-
cort of pages, too. Some of them
carried standards, and there were

lady’s house., Even the little lambs
seemed to be excited by the proud
display, such as is seldom seen
from the old tree.

There was color everywhere.
There were baskets of flowers,
and the bright coats of the danc-
ers, the streamers on the May
poles, and the banners flying from
all tne towers of the castles and
maners. There was even a stroll!-

watching just like everyone else,
and trying to hear what the lady

Bertie Dawes, newly crownet

southern charm and drawled her
way through the annual regal
speech on the morning of the firs:

“Yo’all didn’ know ah was from
the South, didy’? Well, ah am.
Ah’m a little bit Yankee now

slowly and distinctly.

“Ah wanted to talk t’ yo’all to-

how those expectations have been
fulfilled.”
Bertie deliberated, taught her a
phrase pregnant with significance:
“Tewit-Tewoo”, and _ philosophy
taught her that while “hist’ry is
the study of whut neveh happened
by the man who wusn’t there,
philosophy is the study of non-be-

Untouched Frontier
Beckons Recreation

especially contributed by
Anne Phipps, ’54

Sometimes.a veil of printed
words darkens the civilized daffo-
dils and periwinkle, the civilized
grey stone walls. An untouched
frontier is needed. aia

Last # week, a frontier was
found. Cutting all classes, four
students went off to see the new
Bryn Mawr Summer Camp for
Children. They knew the facts:
that they were going to a private-
ly-owned wildlife preserve off the
New Jersey coast, that the rent
would be very low. But they did
not expect to discover, in a bare
stretch of sand dunes and an old
lighthouse, an entirely unknown
world.

Wilderness

After three hours of driving (in
a college-approved car), they left
the last town behind; they identi-
fied themselves at a gatehouse be-
fore starting down a narrow pen-
insula towards the lighthouse.
Hudsonia, or sand moss, grew or.
the shining bone-dry dunes to the
left; to the right, mixed in with
the dark scrub and seaholly, were
blossoming wild cherry bushes.

Joseph Tilton, the ¢aretaker of
the place, a retired Coast Guard
captain, took his visitors around.
The lighthouse was three stories
high and up to its haunches in
sand. The front few rooms had
a family living in them for the
winter; the baby’s perambulator
was parked in the laundry. The
rest of the house was echoing and
dirty, with dusty floors, cracking
paint, and wasps crawling up the
windows; but it had cupboards and
a stove, and plumbing that could
be fixed. The big room, where

boats had been stored and sails,

dried, was empty, waiting for
children to come play in it. Up
on the rooftop, there was an ob-
servation tower with windows all
around. “This”, said the head
counselor, “is-for-me”.

Captain Tilton went away for
lunch. The Bryn Mawr business-
women, left alone, turned pagan.
They raced on the beach; they
swam naked in the cold green
waves; they drank Chianti with
their lunch of bread and cheese;
they lay in the sun.

Much later, when they were re-
spectable, the Captain came back
in his jeep, to take them for a
ride along the shore. He pointed

Collegiate Conference Delegations
Nominate Stevenson for President

by Kay Sherman, 754

Out of the uproar and rioting
on tne convention floor of the Six-
teenth Annual State Intercollegi-
ate Conference on Government
came the selection of Governor
Adlai Stevenson of Illinois as can-
didate for President of the United
States. Out of the “smoke-filied
room” of the Southeastern Region-
al Executive Committee came the
election of Jane Caster of Bryn
Mawr as Regional Director for
1952-1953.

Stevenson received the required
majority of 246 votes of the con-
vention on the fourth ballot, de-
feating General Dwight Eisenhow-
er, the next leading contender, by
12 votes. Senator Robert Taft re-
ceived one vote. Eisenhower’s in-
itial lead on the first ballot top-
ped Stevenson iby 87 votes, but the
combined votes on the democratic
candidates, Kefauver, Russell, Bow-
ling, and Douglas overweighed the
Republican strength of Eisenhow-
er, Stassen, Taft, and ‘Warren.
Th® Stevenson iboom, led by the
delegation from Haverford, began
on the second ballot.

A new name on the ballot was
that of Richard Bowling, Repre-
sentative from the fifth district of
Missouri. Enthusiasm for him be-

to the high untidy collection of
branches that was an ogsprey’s

hulk of a wrecked ship, and up un-
der the shifting dunes were the
graves of sailors who had been
drowned. At high tide line, in the
rim of driftwood and oyster

stranded . With every wave, sand-
fleas scrambled to meet the foam,

The wind blew harder, skimming
mists of sand along the beach.
The jeep’s tire marks were quick-

But if no signs were left on the

of the Democratic party at the
opening session of the conference

From the opening of registra-
tion at noon on April 24 the poli-
ticking was intense. Both Ike and
Taft headquarters had been set up
in the Penn Harris Hotel, across
from the state capitol buildings
where the convention meetings
were held. A strong Russell -con-
tingent sported Confederate flags,

and unobtrusively, culminating in
a Democratic caucus on Thursday
night in which he was chosen as
the candidate the Democratic forc-
es would support after they were
freed from their initial commit-
ments as a result of polls of their
colleges. Enthusiasm ran wild in
the chambers of the House of Rep-
resentatives, where the nominat-

comers,

ing convention was held. Conga
lines snaked between the desks,
and chants and songs filled the air.
Telegrams and telephone calls to
the candidates and to mational
headquarters kept the wires buz-

In the regional elections, Clif-

will be at West Chester State

Does she intend’ to question the

NSA Problem Deserves
Careful Student
Thought

To the Editor:

Soon another election or rather
a referendum will come up on
campus, dealing with the problem
of NSA.
least that many students, through
no fault of their own, don’t even
know what NSA is, and’ the ques-
tion of whether Bryn Mawr is to

It is apparent to me at

remain a member phases them not
at all.

To begin with, NSA is the nation-
al student association, and colleg-
es, not individuals, are members.
It works something as a labor
union does, the idea being 1) to
represent student opinion on na-
tional and international affairs con-
cerning students, 2) to promote
the idea of self government, 3) to
keep Bryn Mawr in touch with
other colleges and the other way
around, 4) to act as a clearing
house for summer jobs, etc., 5) to
enabie students to get everything
from radios to trips to Europe on
a discount basis, a great thing for
the weakened checkbook.

Pinko? No!

To clear up a few misunder-
standings 1) NSA is not pink,
red, or even old rose. It is recog-
nized by the state department and
has a seat on UNESCO. 2) It is
not a going concern. This, along
with the myth that it has been a
going concern, is false. NSA has
been, in its short years of exist-
ence, an almost excessively ideal-
istic onganization. {While ideals
are all very fine, practicality is
needed as well.

If Bryn Mawr stays in, it must
concentrate, along with other col-
leges, on the practical aspect, if
NSA is not to be a colossal flop.
3) NSA can do nothing for Bryn
Mawr. It can do nothing for Bryn
Mawr as long as it remains a pass-
ive onganization. If it acts, the
possibilities are enormous. 4) Bryn
Mawr can do nothing for NSA. We
have a visible, effective self-gov.
system, and while all institutions
can be fallible, Bryn Mawr sets an
example of one that works. Bryn
Mawr can show other colleges
how this can be done.

Drawbacks

There are other drawbacks too.
1) NSA costs us $300 a year or
$.45 per person. Enough said! 2)
It demands active participation
and considerable time on the part
of the NSA head. 3) If Bryn Mawr
is not a student community, then
uhere is no point in or need for the
organization. 4) Most of what
NSA does on a local scale is being
done by exciting boards. 5) Most
of all, NSA demands work!

Arise, Angels!

My purpose in writing this let-
ter is that it is one way that the
poor, deluded sudent can know

'what’s coming off. If “fools rush

in where angels fear to tread”,
nothing can be done. If the angels
aren't pushed, nothing will be
done Think about this, and tell
your Alliance representative or
someone on Undergrad how you
feel. Most of the board is in a
large quandary and would appre.
ciate how their “constituents” feel
before they make a foolish deci-
ction one way or the other.

NSA is not a problem for
“wheels”. It is our own problem,
and the vote and stand all make
may not seem to be, but actually
is, one of our most important de-
cisions in our college life.

Festival Evokes Fun

International Spirit

Rouses All Viewers
by Barbara Drysdale, ’55

“One-two-three, kick, four, kick.
Now faster!” and round.and round
danced merry groups learning a
Balkan folk dance, the Hora, un-
til they almost dropped from ex-
haustion. The place was the Bryn
Mawr gym where IRC and NSA
combined last Friday night to pre-
sent an International Folk Fes-
tival.

“That is an imposing name for
our small effort,” explained the
hostess. “We have narrowed down
our original plans to _ include
dances and songs from only four
countries; Spain, Russia, China,
and we hope, India.” What she
neglected to say was that not only
‘did the carefully planned program
acquaint the audience with some
of the amusements and folk songs
of these other lands, but the audi-
ence participation tied deeper
bonds of appreciation of other
ways of life.

The gym, decorated halfway by
the juniors for their “garden
party”, proved a very festive
background for the occasion. The
program began with some com-
munity singing of European folk
songs. The Spanish Club of Bryn
Mawr offered some gay Spanish
and Mexican dances to the accom-
paniment of very tricky phono-
graph music—a sensation of flash-
ing smiles, swirling skirts, and
quickly moving feet. A lovely
group of delicate Chinese airs was
presented, one of them the court-
ing song of a young man who
wanted his girl to bring along her
family on their wedding trip.

Flirtation

Contrasted with this was the
Firtation Dance from Russia, in
which Mr. Dudden was a feature
attraction. The girls whirled
faster and faster around the men
until at last they took them tri-
-umphantly by the hand off the
stage, despite Mr. Dudden’s com-
pletely dead-pan look of boredom
throughout the ceremony!

More community singing, and
the Festival presented a Japanese
children’s Sparrow Song. Then the
Indian contingent arrived from In-
ternational House, complete with
violin and drums. After explain-
ing the complicated traditions

Magnificat Scores
At Recent Concert

by Anne MacGregor, °54

“ ,.. and music shall fill the
air”. And fill the air it did as the
Hood College Choir, the Haverford
College Glee Club, and the Bryn
Mawr-Haverford College Orches-
tra combined efforts in the spring
concert presented in Haverford’s
Roberts Hall on Friday evening.
[he program included a wide se-
lection of musical types.

In the first section of the con-
cert the Hood College Choir sang
a group of four religious songs.
Adoramus Te, Christe by Quirine
Gasparini, I Waited for the Lord
by Felix Mendelssohn, Kyrie, Sanc-
tus and Agnus Dei by Gabriel
Faure, and I Will Bless the Lord
by Robert Elmore. The choir, while
singing these pieces, seemed to
lack spirit and feeling.

Haverford Sings

The Haverford Glee Club next
sang Matona, Lovely Maiden by
Orlando di Lasso, Sam Was a Man
by Vincent Persichetti, The Turtle
Dove arranged by Vaughn Wil-
liams, Lady, Those Eyes of Yours
by Thomas Morley, and Noontide
Stillness of the Alps by Enrico
Bossi. Well harmonized, the glee
club evinced personality and in-
terest in their presentations and a
depth of musical sense. Peter
Austin-Small, president of the
club, sang his solo The Turtle
Dove quite well.

The Hood College Choir return-
ed with two songs, Hussar and
Only Tell Me, by Bela Bartok, and
The Snow by Edward Elgar. Light
and pretty, these pieces also failed
to rouse the choir. By far the best
of the numbers which the Hood
Choir sang alone was their last,
seven choruses from the Medea of
Euripedes with music by Virgil
Thomson. In these choruses the
girls gave their best and succeed-
ed in presenting the audience with
a-very moving and well-sung piece
of music.

“Just Planning to Stay in Bryn Mawr
And Keep House,” Says Mr. Max Diez

by Kay Sherman, ’54

“I’m just going to stay in Bryn
Mawr and keep house for Mrs.
Diez”, said Mr. Max Diez, with a
twinkle in his eye as the pipe
smoke curled around his head.
He’d like to sit on the porch in a
rocking chair and watch the
world go by, but life is too hard
to be able to take it that leisure-
iy. Mr. Diez admitted, however,
that his retirement, which begins
at the end of the present academic
year, will not be spent only in
housewifely duties. He plans to
work out several projects, partic-
ularly concentrating on the prep-
aration of several books for publi-
cation,

Asked whether he would miss
the dubious joy of pounding Ger-
man into the heads of a lange seg-
ment of Bryn Mawr, Mr. Diez re-
plied quickly, “Oh, no, I shall miss
bitterly not to see cheerful gay
faces and be able to banter with
them”. He said, however, that he
felt the time was ripe at 65 to re-
tire, because one no longer under-
stands youth, what they want and
what they are about.

Nevertheless, as Mr. Diez re-
viewed his 27 years at Bryn Mawr,



it became apparent that his under-
standing of young people is com-
prehensive. Upon his arrival at
Bryn Mawr in 1925 he found that
the big task was preparing stu-
dents for the famous (or notori-
ous) oral exams. German, until
ten years ago, was a requirement
for graduation. His task, there-
fore, was to put through an inten-
sive course, for which, at first,
there was no credit given, as was
the case in all beginning languag-
es. “German was extra-curricular,
and,” said Mr. Diez, “still has the
reputation of demanding extra
work”. To simplify getting a
reading knowledge of German in a
short time, the student required a
special grammar, one that left out
unnecessary grammar rules, so
Mr. Diez wrote it. That is the
history of Introduction to German,
familiar to every Bryn Mawr
German student.

Bryn Mawr students can expect
to see Mr. Diez with his pipe, in
all probability minus an apron, on
our ivied paths for some time to
come; undoubtedly his friendliness
and charm will continue to delight
us and his interest and enthusi-
asm to be a dominant force at the
college.

Ready? And... one, two, three,
hop ... No, no, no. There are four
reds over there and six whites over
here. Now everyone stand still.
No, not where you are supposed to
be, where you are now. All right,
you go over this one and under,

and over, over, now under. There.
Yes, you'll get to dinner on time,
we still have fifteen minutes.

“Now let’s start ag - yes, take
off your loafers if you want to.
Yes, you can, too. Now - - oh no.
Well, it’s about time you arrived.
Go find a substitute . Is everybody
ready? And’. - ‘To the May-hop,
point your toes—hop, watch your
spaces—hop, run, two, three—hop.
O. K., stop for a minute. That was
better, except that some of you
don’t pull your ribbons (cheese-
cloth) tightly. Look at those spac-
es up there. Stop trying to hang
yourself by the ribbons. Now be
serious. You run too quickly, and
you sound like the galloping com-
edian. Be dainty, you know...
Maypol-ish. Let’s rest for a while
and watch the Graduates. Look at
those boys laughing at us.

“Now hold your ribbons tightly
- - - not that tightly. Look, they
came down. You climb up there
and fix it. There’s a ladder. .
Well, we have one minute before
dinner so let’s do it once more.
And ... one, two, three, hop; one,
two, three .. . hey, where did ev-
eryone go? Come back. To the
Maypole let us on. Come on. Oh
well, girls will be girls, and I’m
hungry, too.”

Denbigh Enchants:
At Le Petit Prance
by Barbara Fischer, ’55

From the door of the hall to the
forbidding sign of “Pigale”’ (cow
path; girls only), Denbigh’s open
house provided the warmth, hum-
or, food, and atmosphere for a
tres gai night at “Le Petit Prance.”
The dining-room was decorated as
a cafe, with five appealing chorus
girls kicking high over the fire-
place, and Pete Cummins’ triv
provided the music there for the
dancers Friday night.

Surrounded by candles, chianti
bottles, and a canopy, the enter-
tainment was artfully presented
by lovely mistress of ceremonies,
Ellen Mellroy. After toes had
evidently been stepped on, there
were appreciative roars for Isabelle
Frey and Dorothy Parker’s “The
Waltz.” Two guest personalities
graced the late show, in the per-
sons of Al Elyn, (who'll counter
Lanza any day now!) and Gwen
Davis, advising us alternately to
choose truth, Princeton, or Freud,
and Ann Shocket piano-ed the ac-
companiment to the hilarious act.
At the early show, Miss Nanette
Emery, Denbigh’s warden, took
temporary leave of her Spanish,
and did a neat chic version of “An-
atole de Paris.”

Musical Bubbles

To counteract the Harvard
Dunces at the prom, the Octangle
bubbled musically, and demoiselles
and dates surrounded the stairs to
hear them chantent plus fort some
of their familiar numbers, includ-
ing “T’lk Build a Stairway to Par-
adise.”

Who can think of a better begin-
ning for spring weekend than an
imaginary excursion to Paris? A
Ja francaise, les chapeaux off to
Ann Blaisdell, directrice en gen-
eral, and Norma Kent, hall presi-
dent, for adding a continental



: touch to the campus.

Rene de Messieres
Delineates Stature
Of Poetic V. Hugo

especially contributed by
Emma Morel, ’52

M. Rene de Messieres, French
Cultural Attache for the United
States, spoke in (Wyndham Hall on
April 24 in honor of the one hun-
Jred and fiftieth anniversary of
the birth of Victor Hugo. His topic
was “Victor Hugo and the Modern
Conveption of Poetry”.

IM. de Messieres said that Victor
Hugo’s greatness lies in part in
the fecundity of his work. It was
in fact the mass and variety of
this creation which prompted An-
lre Gide to reply “Victor Hugo,

‘alas” to a question regarding the

greatest nineteenth century poet.
From the “ocean” which is Hugo’s

_| worn, some find that the drinkable

drop is lacking, whereas from “the
little flask of Beaudelaire they
find poetry for our modern sensi-
bility”. Although a great deal of
Hugo’s poetry is eloquent and di-
dactic, M. de Messieres pointed out
that there are works which reveal
a poetic vision containing the
germs of modern poetry: Charles
Peguy says that Hugo reinvented
poetry; that he had a gift for re-
seeing the world. Rimbaud says
that perhaps Hugo is the first
seer. In Hugo’s work, Beaude-
laire finds the seeds of his “cor-
respondences” and his “universa!
analogy”.

The ocean, a symbol of the ab-
solute and a recuirent image in
Hugo’s work, is to him at once a
menace and an attraction. M. de
Messieres spoke of Hugo’s lucid-
ity, of his consciousness of the
risk involved in an attempt to
plunge into the unknown. Hugo
was not to perish on the absolute
is did Nerval. His creative im-
pulse, however, was too strong to
prevent him from taking the
plunge into the irrational. The ef-
fort to penetrate the irrational can
manifest itself in mysticism and
in_religion, said--M.-de—Messieres:
Hugo knew both of these paths to-
ward the unknown. His mysticism
announced Rimbaud and the surre-
alists; his faith announced Clau-
del, Jouve, and Emmanuel. M. de
Messieres concluded his lecture
with the statement that the mis-
sion of a poet as conceived by
Hugo is to bring a man in contact
with the irrational so that he will
have a better understanding of his
place in the universe.

Cotillion Previews
Posies and § pring

by Ann Mazick, ’55

The cotillion held in the southern
spring garden Saturday night,
April 26, was a delightful follow-
up to the maids and porters’ pro-
duction of “Roberta”. Bryn Mawr-
tyrs, dressed in their spring finery,
danced on a patio enclosed by a
low wall of colorful trees and
flowers and overhung by brightly
colored Japanese lanterns. Howard
Lanin’s music added the final
sweet touch to a perfect junior
prom.

The Harvard Dunces from Dun-
ster House enlivened the inter-
mission with a few songs includ-
ing “Talk of the Town,” “Good
Night, Little Girl,” and their
answer, “Good Night, Little Boy,”
and a highly amusing one about
“Vera.” Sally Shoemaker sang “I
Was A-Broad My Junior Year’,
a class of 563 freshman show song,
with the Dunces joining in on the
chorus.

The April showers had no
dampening effect upon the light
spirit of the dancers, who stayed
until 2 a.m. to add color and
laughter to a background of music
and flowers,

Tradition

Tradition is custom graced by time and beautified by
significance. The reality of the past revered in the present,
cherished for the future. Spring in a white gown, knowledge
shining forth from a lantern.

Tradition is not an aged one, withered, stubbornly
changeless. Deep within there is the spirit that is a core im-
mutable, yet with new meaning for each of those who pay
her homage.

For Tradition is a giver of gifts. Those who honor her

find that they have gained in ways as enduring as is she,
herself. Because they have known her, they have met dig-
nity and universal, lasting significance in the face of change.





Ipso Factos, Attention!

The League, the Alliance, and the Athletic Association

would like to remind the student body that their weekly
meetings are open ones.

: Few people who are not members of the boards have
taken advantage of their opportunity to participate in the
ipso facto organizations this year. Everyone should try tu
attend at least one meeting to find out how each group func-
tions.

Many activities form the agendas of the League, Alliance,
and A. A. Extra-board member attendance would increase
both student understanding and interest in these organiza-
tions.

Current Events

Government Threatens
With ‘Big Stick’
Once More

What constitutes monopoly pow-
er and where, in the case of the
Du Yont family, does this power
lie? These questions were con-
sidered by Miss Northrop. on
Monuay night. The Du Pont fam-
ily ownings are a monopoly sys-
tem which include _ interlocking
directorships, preferential prices,
and holding companies.

The government is prosecuting
the Du’ Ponts under the charge
that stock ownership by members
of the family has been used to ob-
tain and maintain common contro!
of General Motors Corporation,
the Du Pont-Corporation, and the
United States Rubber Company.

The government further charges
these companies with purchasing
from each other exclusively at
preferential prices. Illustrating
but one incident, she pointed out
that General Motors and Du Pont.
have no less than seven directors
in common,

A notable exception to the ruie
that the ‘widespread owners of
common stock have the controlling
vote in corporations is the Du Pont
three-way tie-up. Although the
186 Du Ponts own a controlling
share of tne stock, a majority of
this stock is not even controlled
by those (including an eighteen-
month baby) who legally own it,
put by the Christiana Securitiés
Company and the Delaware Realty
and Investment Corporation. These
two companies, through a few
members of the Du Pont. family,
hold voting power—the monopoiy
power—over the Du Pont tie-up of
corporations.

Including 241 wholly owned
subsidiaries and large percentage
interests in the Ethyl Corporation
and Kinetic Chemicals, this corp-
oration system is immense. The
chemical products alone range
from vitamins to fertilizers and
synthetic rubber to textile dyes.

Power, concentrated in the hands
of a few, has always frightened
the American public, and it was
this tear that produced the Sher-
man Anti-trust Act of 1890 and
other acts since then. Today’s
prosecution, originating in a Chi-
sago circuit court because Du
Pont’s influence is possibly too
strong for a fair trial in Delaware,
will undoubtedly, averred Miss
Northrop, end in the Supreme
Court.

The state seems to be the oniy
force to handle monopoly power
in these days since the advance of
Du Pont’s technological knowledge
has eliminated the economic
stre..gth of competition. There are
two questions involved beyond the
immediate problem of monopoly:
what will this power in a few
hands do to our economic system,
and is today’s only solution to ac-
cept the existing conditions of
nonopoly ?

Stand as Essential for Applebee Barn Renovations

Continued from Page 1

settled when the Barn is actually
in condition. The scheme present-
ed is the present notion of what
the A.A. would like to see evolve
from the existing situation.

The A.A. will have precedence
for the use of the Barn. It shall
be used for teas after the games
on the tennis courts and the
hockey fields. It should also be
the center for A.A. picnics as well
as fall and spring Athletic Week-
ends. However, it will be open
to all members of the College. It
is an ideal place for small parties,
and a place where girls and their
dates can get away from the stiff
atmosphere of the halls and Good-
hart. It is hoped that the Barn
will be open all year, but if the
cost of heat is prohibitive this idea
will have to be given up. In giv-
‘ing our list of recommendations to
the administration and to the
architect we have had to keep
economy and practicality fore-
most in our minds, with a view to
possible expansion in the future.
We have wanted to get the Barn
in usable condition as soon as
possible leaving the frills and fur-
belows for a later date.

A.C.!

In discussing immediate plans
we have gathered opinion from
several groups, and therefore hope
that our ideas are fairly represen-
tative. First the roof, founda-
tions, and floor -must be made
sound. Then we can start on the
more exciting repairs, we hope
to have a large picture window
overlooking the hockey fields and
tennis courts. Electricity shall be
installed (A.C.!), and hot and cold
running water with at least one
bathroom and two if possible (one
for men, one for women). For
heat we want electric stoves with
hot plates on them for cooking.
And last in our immediate plans,
though far from least, a large fire-
place at one end of the main room.

As far as the furnishings are
concerned we have been’ very
vague, covering our desires with
the phrase. “rustic but--comfort-
able’. We would like to have
some cooking utensils, pots and
pans, tin plates and cups, and a
few knives, forks and spoons, also
a set of china for more elaborate
affairs. We hope that baseball,
badminton, and croquet equipment
will be available too.

Renovation

These are the things that we
would like to see installed as soon
as possible, and we expect that
much of the heavy labor will be
done over the summer. In the fall
a work weekend here at the Col-
lege could do much to fix up the
interior and the grounds of the
Barn thus giving the students the
opportunity to have a hand in the
renovation and to help the cause
of economy. The students could
build an outdoor fireplace, help
with the painting, clear up the

weeds, etc.
Some suggestions have been
made for the future. Roof over

the main room to give storage
space in an attic, and to ease the
heating problem. Install a small
kitchen with hotplates and an old-
fashioned ice box. Have picnic

outside. And most controversially,
build in bunks so the students can
camp out overnight.

The Barn should become a cen-
ter of social activity on campus.
It provides a much needed place of
recreation which the College has
lacked heretofore. It shall prob-
ably be governed by a committee
composed of the combined Campus
Organizations and supported by
those organizations, under the
auspices of the A.A.

We hope that the students will
take a great interest in the reno-
vation of the Barn and offer sug-
gesions as well as time to the
A.A., for little can be accom
plished without their whdlehearted
support.

Mr. Marshall DeMotte Gates ar:-
alyzed for the Sigma Xi lecture on
Monday night, April 28, the pro-
cesses he had used to synthesize
one of the “ballerinas” of organic
chemistry—morphine. After ex
plaining that the “first faltering
successes” with the experiment
had been accomplished while he
was teaching organic chemistry at
Bryn Mawr, Mr. Gates related the
-wenty-seven steps that he used
to develop morphine ‘from his in-
ttial starting point—Schaeffer's
Acid, a dyestuff intermediate.
Fortunately for the chemists
(while he was here Mr. Gates had
peer. assisted, among others, by Mr.
Newhall, Bryn Mawr's first maie
Ph.L.), the first reactions produc-
cd a high yield and on the whoie
the early steps were easy to carry
out. In the middle of the synthe
sis they were able to prove con-
clusively by comparing the infra-
red spectrum of the synthetic suo-
stance to that of the degradatior



Mr. Alwyne will give a recit-
al at the Woodmere Art Gallery
in Germantown on May Ist at
30. The program will be al-
most identical with his recital
at Bryn Mawr Feb. 26 with the
exception of a few alterations.

M. DeMotte Gates’ Sigma Xi Lecture
Analyzes Steps in Morphine Synthesis

product of the natural substance
that their previous steps had been
correct. The two spectra were ab-
solutely identical and because this
sort of analysis is such a sensitive
criterion, the conclusion was cer-
tain. Mr. Gates admitted that the
process only involved an academic
probiem, ne practical end was in
mind, but because of the new
methods worked out during the
development, it is now possible io
produce a simpler compound that
is several times more active than

morphine.
A interesting sideline arose
when Mr Gates expressed his

opinion that the sale of morphine
shou:d be prescribed for addicts oy
doctors so that they could buy it
at normal cheap prices and not be
forcea to sell all that they own for
it as they do now. Morphine ad.
dicts are perfectly normal, busy
people as long as they can get the
drug, in contrast to the marijuana,
hashish, and cocaine users whc
suffer violent hallucinations.

For Mr. Gates the talk in the
chemistry lecture room was a re-
turn to his old desk from which
he had lectured for eight years
before he left Bryn Mawr in 1949
to become the assistant editor of
the American Chemical Society
Journal and to teach at Rochester;
for his aucirence it was an exciting
revelation of the original aiscov-
aries of a distniguished chenus..

‘Moderns’ Evince
Precise Meaning

by Caroline Warram, ’55

sf anyone attended the open
neeving of the Dance Club ex-
yecling to see a great deal of

meaningless, movement, he was

provably disappointed, but happily
SO.

The Dance Club held the open
meeting in order to acquaint’ the
students and faculty with the fun-
damental ideas and movements on
which modern dance is based and
the type of dancing which is reg-
ularly done in Dance Club meet-
ings.

The program followed the gen-
eral plan of the weekly meetings
of the club beginning with the
warm-up exercises. Following the
exercises, the members of the
club presented three prepared
studies, each based on one of the
fundamental factors of dancing:
space, force, and time. The studies
were prepared through the coop-
eration of all the girls participat-
ing in the particular study. Since.
the object of these studies was to
explore the three basic phases of
dan, there was no _ personal
emotion involved.

The first study exploring space
was centered around the three
pure planes of movement in which
all movement must be contained.
These three directions are hori-
zon*al, diagonal, and vertical.

The second study was based
upon the two forces, push and
pull, which are the basis of all
movement. It was pointed out
that force can vary in degrees of
power.

The study in time was the most
complicated of the three . The un-
derlying beat was a simple 4/4
time but rhythm patterns were
superimposed upon it and varia-
tions of quality which necessarily
accompanied the adaptations.

The final part of the program,
because of its nature, was the
most interesting and the most im-
pressive. The demonstration con-
sisted of impromptu studies given
by individuals interpreting impres-
sions received from certain situa-.
tions. This was further developed
