Counterpoint

In an Editorial several weeks ago, the News delineated
its own structure and function. One of the points made was
that because of its purpose and the type of information with
which it is concerned, it cannot serve as a medium for crea-
tive writing to any satisfactory degree. That is not the pur-
pose of a newspaper. :

At the same time, there is a definite and very real place
for creative writing on campus. Bryn Mawr needs and should
have a literary magazine.

~~ Unfortunately, no publication can exist without support.
No matter how much we enjoy reading a magazine, if the
enjoyment is to continue, support must parallel enthusiasm-—
indeed, become an integral part of it.

Bryn Mawr has a literary magazine—Counterpoint will
publish a Spring issue late in the year. But Counterpoint is
in desperate need of funds—funds that must be gained im-
mediately in the form of checks made payable to the Common
Treasurer and mailed to Diana Forbes in Rockefeller Hall;
funds that must be gained by subscriptions as well.

A literary magazine extends beyond the boundaries of
the college community which it represents. National maga-
zines often subscribe to student publications, in search of
talent for their editorial and fiction departments. It is not
a hollow claim that contributors to Counterpoint may one
day become noted literary figures. Marianne Moore is a
prime example of this, for of the poems appearing in the
anthology of her work today, several first were published
in the Bryn Mawr literary magazine of her undergraduate
days. Counterpoint is worth having and keeping, both as a
palpable, buyable piece of work, and as an institution.
~~ No one should fail to give it enthusiastic and continuing

DO YOU LOVE CHILDREN?
Are you interested in teaching and
sharing with them your experi-
ences in sports, crafts, songs, dra-
matics, swimming and just living
in a world with other people? If
you are, and if you are concerned
as well with the problems D.P.
(displaced persons) children have
in combining their new life in
America with the old one to which
their parents still cling, then Bryn
Mawr Summer Camp is the place
for you this July! The work
promises to be hard, but very re-
warding for you who really love
and enjoy children. And there’ll
be time to relax, too, and catch
your breath.

The camp is to be run on some-
what different lines this year —
with changes that we feel will
make it both more valuable for
the children and more successful
and enriching for the counsellors.
These changes are as follows:

Camp for D. P. Children

First, in answer to a real and
pressing need, we are running the
camp for D.P. children from the
Philadelphia: area, with the intent
of giving them a healthy, happy
vacation away from the city. The
Camp’s purpose is also to increase
their feelings of “belonging” in
America, through special trips to
places of community interest and
informal discussions, and of con-
tributing something to life here,
through programs of their native
music and dances, and dramatics.

' The camp season will run from
June 29th to July 25th, and one
group of about thirty children
ranging in age from 8-12, both
boys and girls, will remain the
whole four weeks. Thus we’ll really
have a chance to get to know each
other and achieve something.

valuable both for us

Germany Desires
Peace and Unity

GERMAN REARMAMENT, PRE-
LUDE TO... ?—this was the
topic of a seminar presented by
the International House of Phil-
adelphia on Sunday, March 8. Amar
Singh of India, a political science
student at Haverford, acted as
moderator.

*We hardly ever speak of rearm-
ument in our official dealings with
this problem,” began Dr. Jo-
achim Jenicke, Second Secretary to
the Ministry of the Federal Repub-
hic of Germany, Washington, D. C.
“in 1945, after the complete col-
lapse ot Germany, the Allies and
Soviet Kussia agreed to eliminate
Germany as a military factor.”
Demilitarization occurred in fact
in spirit; it met with no re-
sistatge among the German people.
“They Were sick of war.”




Schumann Plan

In May, 1950, the Schumann
Plan developed from the reali-
zation that the old hostility of
Krance and Germany must be
reconciled if Western Europe were
to survive. This problem was too
large to be tackled en masse; it was
proposed to begin with the union
of coal and steel industries of
France and Germany under a su-
pranational authority. The plan
was heralded by enthusiastic re-
sponse in Germany; within a few
months the European Community
of Coal and Steel was a reality.

Then the Korean incident occur-
red. With the advent of Acheson’s
appeal for rearmament, France in-
troduced the Plevig Plan.




dens—heavy b But a
share in the fication of Europe
is a bargain for Germany.” She
cannot enforce national security
with no natural boundaries, with
only twelve divisions of men.

“We think that Germany is too

the framework of her borders. The
existence of a large army in Ger-
many would present serious diffi-
culties to democracy. That is why
we don’t want a national army.
That is why we want our army to
work as a part of the European
army.”

The aim of German foreign pol-
icy is three-fold, Dr. Jenicke stat-
ed. Foremost in priority is the
preservation of peace. “Germany
is not so interested in who should
win a Third World War but that
it should ever start.” The other
two aims are the unification of
Eastern and Western Germany and
the integration of Germany with
Europe.

“On the nineteenth of this month
the German Parliament will vote on
the European Defense Treaty,”
Dr. Jenicke concluded, “there is
no doubt that it will be passed.”

Current Events

West Finds Character,
‘Ideals of Stalin
Ambiguous

If a great man is one who cuts
a wide swath in history, Stalin
was a great man. This is the view-
point of Miss Robbins, who spoke
on Stalin at Current Events on
Monday night.

Stalin may have seemed incon-
sistent to many, stressed Miss
Kobbins, but actually he was striv-
ing to do what he felt would he
best for Russia. His personal char-
acter is difficult to judge, tor it is
hard to dissociate him from. all the
Russian leaders. We in the West-
ern world do not easily understand
what motivates this group, and,
therefore, what motivated Stalin.

The Russian world has not felt
that it must explain its every ac-
tion, as has the Western world.
Other Russian leaders, including
Alexander, have also seemed to
be hypocrites because of this fact.

In a brief outline of Stalin’s
background, Miss Robbins noted
that he was born the son of a
cobbler in Georgia in 1879. He
entered a seminary in 1893, but
was expelled in 1899.

Rebel

Stalin led an eventful life as a
rebel. He was exiled to Siberia
and escaped several times. To get
funds with which to finance the
Revolution, he held up a bank with
friends, which accomplishment
shows enterprise of a sort.

He met Trotsky shortly after
his first meeting with Lenin, in
1905. Yet he was never associated
with Trotsky, who was more a
middle of the road man than was
Stalin. Stalin was always extreme-
ly revolutionary and was not pre-
pared for compromise.

By 1912, Stalin was associated
with Molotov, now Foreign Min-
ister. Stalin founded “Pravda”, an
important Communist organ. Dur-
ing the first World War he was un-
able to serve due to a disability.

By 1924, Stalin was Secretary-
General of the party commitiee
and_an important power in-Com-
munist Russia. He succeeded
Lenin as leader after the latter’s
death in 1927.

Future of Russia

What is the future of Russia,
now that the man to whom she
looked as a leader for so long is
dead? At Stalin’s death, Georgi
M. Malenkov, formerly secretary
to Stalin, became the new Rus-
sian Prime Minister. In addition
to Mr. Molotov, Deputy Prime
Minister, are Lavrenti Beria, Inte-
rior Minister, Marshal Nikolai Bul-
ganin, War. Minister, and Lazar
Kaganovich. These men are ex-
pected to take over control of the
government along with Malenkov.

Miss Robbins feels that if sur-
rounding Russian-dominated coun-
tries think that the new govern-
ment is weaker than the old onc,
there will be ensuing revolt. There
also may be a noticeable effect on

parties, particularly the Commun-

ist party, in America.

In conclusion, Miss Robbins ob-
served that with his achievements
in making Russia a powerful world
influence, Stalin had a great deal
of success. His creed was a dy-
namic one, which offered a great
temptation to many. Any creed
which attempts to oppose this one
must necessarily also be a dynamic
one.
