Alliance, League
Redefine Roles,
Shift Activities

Red Cross to League,
Industrial Group

Joins Alliance

‘Changes in the eonstitutions of
the Bryn Mawr League, the Alli-
ance, and the Undergraduate As-
sociation will be submitted to the
College for approval by vote in the
Halls on, Thursday. night at 10:00.
The Alliance constitution will be
voted on in its entirety and its
name will be changed since it has
become a peacetime organization
of a political and economic char-
acter. je

Since, in addition, the League has
developed into an economic and
social organization and the Under-
graduate Association covers the
more general activities on campus,
changes have been made to coor-
dinate more closely the work of
each organization. Consequently
the specific constitutional changes
which have been made are the
transference of the Red Cross from
the Alliance to the League, the
Industrial Group from the League
to the Alliance, and the Chapel
Committee from the League to the
Undergraduate Association.

Seven Colleges

To Meet at B.M.

‘Delegates from Barnard, Bryn
Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe,
Smith, Wellesley, Vassar and the
guest college, Duke University,
will attend the annual Seven Col-
lege Conference to be held at Bryn
Mawr on April 27 and 28.

The conference is made up of
the incoming and outgoing presi-
dents of the two campus organiza-
tions corresponding to Selif-Gov-|
ernment and the Undergraduate
Association. The position of host
college rotates among the perman-
ent members, while each year a
different college is invited

meeting is held annually to
discuss various problems of stud-
ents in these colleges. This year
the topics are the honor system as
it affects Student Government and
academic work, and the purpose of
college education for women.

Mrs. Broughton will entertain
the Conference’s members for din-
ner at the Deanery Saturday eve-
ning after which the group will

Barnes, Scott Tell
Russian Policies .

To UNC Meeting

Philadelphia, April 17:

The bases of Russian foreign
policy were explained by Mr. John
Scott, central European corres-
pondent of Time, and Mr, Joseph
Barnes, foreign editor of the New
York Herald-Tribune at a meeting
sponsored by- the United Nations
Council of Philadelphia in the Aca-
demy of Music.

“We should adopt a similar stan-
dard of judging Russian policies
and our policies,” said: Mr. Scott,
urging formulation of a positive
American foreign policy to meet
the Russian on equal grounds. Ba-
sic to Russia’s policy is a desire
for security, compounded of a na-
tural distrust of foreigners, a his-
tory of diplomatic and military
setbacks, and bitter memories of
European, anti-revolutionary inter-
vention after the last war.

Turning to Germany, Mr. Scott
pointed out that it is a laboratory
for the social systems of Russia,
the United States, and Great Bri-
tain. During the invasion of Ger-
many the easy-going methods of
the Americans and the discipline
of the British compared favorab
in German minds to the senganf
wreaked ‘by Russian combat trodps.
In the last six months, however,
the Russian system has shown a
greater peace-time effectiveness in
reconstruction than has British so-

talist democracy, accounting for

the recent leftward swing in Eur-
ope. :

Mr. Barnes stressed the threat

Throughout the war M. Camus
edited an underground paper called
“Combat”. Two of his plays have
been produced in Paris, and his
first novel, “L’Etranger,” has been
tranlated into English recently. At
present, he is working on a new
book.

He has been speaking to young,
audiences on the east coast, and
the same evening as his discussion

‘George Washington Slept Here’
Features Woes of Country Life

By Louise Gorham. ’47

- “When George Washington slept
here - - -” anything might have
happened, but nothing equal to the
hurly-burly rampant in the Var-
sity Players’-Cap and Bells’ forth-
coming production. Among the

ing for water, and thunder storms
galore, is heard the plaintive cry,
“A horse just walked into the kit-
‘chen,” while it seems that a cow
is trying to drive off in the car.
But the joys and sorrows of life

were increased by temporary sub-
stitutions in the cast so that a tall
dark man was apt to appear on the
stage, addressed as “Miss Wilcox,”
while epidemics of absent minded-
ness led to the characters switch-
ing names at ‘will. ‘The evanescent
touch was added by the comings
and goings of an individual known
as “Doug,” a one man stage crew,
who struggled simultaneously with
lighting, curtains, and sound ef-
fects, which he pointed out is a
one man job (Plutocrat).

An optimistic note was express-,

Art Flourishes .
At Otis Skinner
Workshop Again

Paint and pastels are once more
in use in the long vacant Art Stu-
dio in the Otis Skinner Memorial
Workshop, where a newly-formed
Art Group. is holding regular
meetings, and where, next year,
the History of Art Department
plans to hold a regular laboratory
in connection with its first year
course.

In respons@ to the demand for
more opportunity for creative ex-
pression on campus, the Studio,
under the auspices of the Art
Group, is open on “Tuesday and
Wednesday afternoons and all day
Saturday to any student who wish-
es to come and try her hand in
such mediums as_ water-color,
brush and ink, poster paint and
clay. Materials are provided free,
and members of the Group take
turns at posing.

Mr. Morris Blackburn, a Phila-
delphia artist, is present on Tues-
day and Wednesday to give sugges-
tions and instructions to those who
wish it. Mr. Blackburn has studied
abroad and has taught at the Phil-
adelphia Museum for several years,

Initial funds for this project
were provided by the Art Depart-
ment and by the old Art Club,
which has been amalgamated with
the new Art Group. This organi-
zation is completely independent
and is headed by Joan Hitchcock
"48,

Next year the Art Department
is planning to make use of the
Studio in conjunction with the lec-
tures and conferences that form
the basis of the first year survey
course. By doing simple projects
in different artistic mediums, the
members of the class, through their
own efforts, will become aware of
the practical elements involved in
problems which they have studied
in a more theoretical context.

will be part of the curriculum of

the course, emphasis will not be

Sigerist Outlines
Socialistic Plan
In‘Health Work

Medicine Considered
As Public Charity

By Russians

Goodhart, April 17. “The protec-
tion of health in Russia is social-
ism applied to this particular
field,” stated Dr. Henry E. Siger-
ist, Director of the Institute of the
History of Medicine at Johns
Hopkins University, at the ninth
Alliance Assembly. To improve
health in America, our task is “to
create the social organization
which our technology requires.”

The basic idea of the Russian
system is that medical services
and the means to protect health
are not sold to the people. “They
are a public charity to which
everyone thas a_ constitutional
right,” according to Dr. Sigerist.
The entire setup is an attempt to
apply science to the production,
distribution, and use of new medi-
cal devices.

“Today we look at medicine as
a social science,” “Said Dr. Siger-
ist; the four major tasks of medi-
cine today are promotion of
health, prevention of disease, res-
toration of health, and -rehabilita-
tion of former patients. In Russia,
the emphasis is on the prevention
of disease. The distinction be-
tween preventive and curative
medicine has been erased almost
completely.

Education is the basis of all
health work in the U.S.S.R. “In
Russia health education has a very
good résponse because it goes hand
in hand with education for citizen-
ship.” Physical culture, and rec-
reation and rest facilities with
medical supervision are provided.
Sanitation and industrial hygiene
are stressed.

Health work in ‘Russia is plan-
ned by all the people for a period
of time, such as the duration of one
five-year plan, but at the end of
every year the degree of success
or failure is determined, and the
necessary changes are made.

‘Execution of the plans depends
on the centralized direction of de-
centralized activity. The highest
policy-forming body in the admin-
istration is the People’s Ministry
of Health Protection, which is re-

B. M. Summer Camp Counselors
Mix Fun and Child Psychology

by Mary Lee Blakely, ’47

As most Bryn Mawrters rather
proudly profess themselves to be
baffied by “activities” on campus,
here are some of the salient facts
about such an enterprise as. the
Summer Camp.

A timid inquiry as to what one
“did” at summer camp brought
forth such a torrent of replies from
all quarters that a book on the
subject could scarcely cope with
all Johnny’s cute sayings or what
that bad little Peggy thought was
so funny. =. -;, :

This summer Nancy»Coward 747
has secured a house in Cape..May
one and a half blocks from_the
beach. The camp will be run in

three sessions with twenty child-
ren of mixed sexes and of angelic
ér diabolic characters. Nancy
stresses the need for more coun-



selors at these two week ateniony,

reminiscing about the fun she had
last year where she met new Bryn
Mawrters as well as learned “simp-
ly amazing” things about children
as a whole. “Asyone interested in
Psychology, Sociology or marriage
should at least inquire into the
summer camp” said Nancy, as she

‘endeavored to explain the case his-

tory system the camp works on.
Social workers from Philadel-
phia claim that Bryn Mawr’s ¢amp
is one of their favorites because
the children get so much individual
attention. The counselors. spend
hours. going. over__the.. children’s
past histories and make an effort
to help them with ‘this in view.
_ The children gain approximately
five-pounds in the two weeks they

play in the sun and the counselors

leave with sand in their hair, a

sizzling tan and “quite a new out- ©



look on life.”

Too Many Papers

The Spring term seems to be the tive of year when
pressure is the heaviest, due to an accumulation of papers.
This statement is not true in the case of every student, but
despite the most careful planning, there is a large number
of undergraduates who have more than three papers to write
before the end of classes.

Badly Integrated

We believe strongly that there should be papers; they
are an opportunity for students to do some original work.

_ However, there is something in the argument that too many

papers result in poor papers. A balance must be struck be-
tween tthe general view of a field gained from the assigned
reading, and the handling of a number of related details with-
in a limited aim, the completed paper. This balance does not
mean a separation of the two elements, an imposition of a
paper project on top of the pattern of general work; it rather
presupposes that the paper will form an integral, though
technically different, part of the course work.

Several important changes have been made. Some de-

‘ partments have allowed students to combine papers in two

courses, or to substitute an oral report. In many cases, a
student taking advanced courses can schedule her own papers.
This is still not enough, even when the indisputable fact is
considered that there are those who will always leave their
work until the last minute, no matter what arrangements are
made.

Maximum Suggested

Therefore, we would like to suggest a maximum of two
papers _a semester, stressing the possibility for combining
courses. Another suggestion is to have a short reading per-
iod at the end of each semester, with the understanding that
no student who had a paper could use this time as an extra
vacation. While working on an essay, it is often difficult to
keep up with the daily work, and a reading period of not more
than a week would give ample time for concentrated effort,
and would alleviate the feeling of pressure which inevitably
comes from trying to do several things at once.

We ask, then, that papers be considered in their relation
to the total weight of a student’s work and the needs of her
separate studies; that-papers be not regarded as a mere
super-refinement of the academic process. At the same time,
a little more intra-faculty cooperation seems desirable, view-
ing the student as an organic uliit, and not as a machine with
*-t00r" uncoordir nated cogs 3 milling out the grist of four separ-
ate courses.

Harvard Plans Contest
Between Chorines

And College Girls

To the Editor:

A few days ago Billy Rose, the
well known promoter of show-
girls, made a public statement to
the effect that “beautiful girls
don’t go to college.” .. The Harvard
Lampoon took exception to this ob-
vious fallacy and sent a telegram
to Mr. Rose,. challenging him to a
beauty contest,between six of his
girls and an equal number of col-
lege girls—to be chosen by the
Lampoon. (Mr. Rose has accepted
our challenge, and we are hoping
for your help in selecting the girls
to compete against his group.

The contest is to be held in Cam-
bridge on Saturday afternoon, the
eighteenth of May. The girls are
to appear? in evening gowns and
bathing suits. Th Judges are to
be five prominent newspapermen,
plus a representative from the
A. P. and one from the U. P. The
evening gowns and bathing suits
are to be designed, individually, by
Adrian, a famous designer, who
has offered his services free of
charge. As you can see, this con-
test will offer an excellent oppor-
tunity for girls interested in the
theatre and modeling. We feel
that it is our duty to further the
interests and uphold the honor of
the American_college-womanhood.
No public spirited collegian will
disagree with this!

We are asking you to select, by
‘whatsoever means you prefer (a
college-wide poll is suggested),
the two most beautiful girls in
your college. It is our intention
to hold a preliminary contest at the
Hasty Pudding Club on Saturday,
the eleventh of May. It is then
that we will select the six girls that
will compete against Mr. Rose’s
girls. After the contest the Lam-
poon will give a dance for the
girls competing in the preliminary
contest. Adrian will be present
so that he may design the dresses
for the winners.

We sincerely hope that you will
cooperate with us in this effort.

Sincerely,
Arnold W. Morse
President
The Harvard Lampoon

P. '‘S.—The ‘Copley-Plaza, Boston,
has offered the use of its ballroom
for the final contest, and it is
probable that Harry Conover will
be on hand to give the college girls
final suggestions and coaching.

Food Relief Measure
Upheld by Colleges

Continued From Page 1



United States’ wheat supply to fa-
mine relief, the group has decided
to postpone its journey to Wash-
ington until the results of this ac-
tion can be judged.

The Committee received replies
in the affirmative from all colleges
except Hunter, from which nothing
has as yet been heard. A member
of the United States Students As-
sociation at Sarah Lawrence
proposed that the food program be
madg a topic for discussion at the
U.S.S.A. meeting in New York this
week-end, and Bryn Mawr will
send a delegate to explain the ac-
tion taken so far, Both Yale and
Harvard also pledged support
through their college branches of
the American Veterans Committee.

_A letter is following the tele-
gram, urging formulation of a col-
lege program. outlining — specific
measures for adoption by the gov-
ernment. A full explanation of the
relief and conservation activities
at Bryn Mawr is provided, and the
Committee plans to keep in close
touch with the other colleges so
that a delegation may be sent as
soon as the need should arise.

Low Concert Expenses
Increase Funds
For Europe

To the Editor:,

A friend..of~mine. was. talking
about musical prodigies this week-
end. He mentioned the ten-year-
old boogie-woogie wonder who has
‘peen so exploited in the entertain-
ment world, In contrast he spoke
of a young girl who while recog-
nized as a magnificent pianist had
not been allowed to give many per-
formances, Much to my astonish-
ment—she was Sylvia Zaremba
who is playing here Monday.

She is playing at a reduced rate,
and so already enough tickets have
been sold to cover the expenses.
In effect, everything ,;made from

support of the effort to relieve

I.S.S. Seeks 5 ale
For International
‘Conference

To the Editor:

The XX Annual Conference of
the International ‘Student Service
will take place at Girton College,
Cambridge, England from July
22-29, 1946. There will be approx-
imately 150 delegates, represent-
ing at least twenty countries.
Plans are being“made to -have at
least 25 students represent the
United States at the conference,
the first world-wide I. .S. 8. confer-
ence since the end of the war. It
is hoped that as large a number
of colleges as possible swill be rep-
resented in the American delega-
tion.

Part of the S. S. A. program is
to serve American students by
making them sensitive to our gen-
eral cultural interrelations, in-
formed of the life of students in
other parts of the world, and
aware of the crisis in universities
abroad and of its meaning for stud-
ents in the U.S. The S.5S..A., Inc.
is cooperating with the I.S.S. in
furthering international under-
standing through relief activities,
through study of student problems
and through education by means
of conference and travel.

Students will be selected on the
basis of their interest in the
S.'IS. A. program and our aim will
be to select a group of delegates
who will use this conference and

“To the modern Egyptian his
country presents a challenging con-
fusion’, said Miss Aida . Gindy,
Egyptian graduate student, speak-
ing .on. present. Egypt.. The con-
fusion comes essentially from ec-
onomic and social conflicts between
the conservative old world Egyp-

tians and the liberal youth of the .”

Arabic League. ’
Miss Gindy insisted that a know-

ledge of Egypt’s past history is.

essential to understanding the
problems of today. “In ancient
Egypt, the women had the same
rights as men,” Miss Gindy ex-
plained, “but the introduction of
Islam by Mohammed in 640 ‘A.D.
began a period of seclusion ‘for wo-
men which lasted until 1900 when
Kasim Amin campaigned for the
emancipation of women.”

At present the power of Egypt
lies in her youth who have asked
that Egypt and her sister state,

the Sudan, be united and that Bri-.

tish troops be withdrawn from the
country. “Despite the great devel-
apment of industry during the
war,”. Miss Gindy continued,
“Hgypt’s wealth remains in her
land.” The American people, who
have become very popular because
they treat Egyptians on an equal
basis,‘ have introduced the rayon
industry to the country which may
help to increase economié develop-
ment.

Historical Sketches

by Katrina Thomas 749

‘Saturday, October 23, 1885, fif-
ty “young ladies” arrived on the
opening day of Bryn Mawr Col-
lege. Eight were graduate students,
the others were fresh from school.
They gazed at the three massive
buildings rising on top of a bar-
ren hill, Taylor, “a fine structure
of Port Deposit stone’, Merion
described in a Trustees’ circular
as “a home complete with gas
light”, and the gymnasium, one
of the most commodious yet pro-
vided by a women’s college, com-
plete with track for
“when very stormy weather may
deter from outdoor exercise”.

Nine years. earlier, Joseph
Wright Taylor had announced a
desire to found a Quaker college
for women. He chose a “high and
healthy” tract of land near Hav-
erford College with which he was.
connected. The Quaker tradition of
freedom of religious observances
and personal liberty of conduct
produced an innovation in a col-
lege of -the ’80s—only voluntary
attendance to chapel services and
the establishment in 1892 of the
first self-government association in
a women’s college.

Dr. Rhoads was elected by the
Trustees to be the first college

.; president and on the same day, M.

Carey Thomas was appointed Dean
of Faculty. Bryn Mawr opened
with a faculty of eight, six men
and two women; and eight depart-
ments. The curriculum of Johns
Hopkins University was adapted
to form the Bryn Mawr four year
“group system” by which one ma-
jored in two related subjects, It
was at Bryn Mawr that the first
general course in Biology was.
worked out; and Woodrow Wil-
son’s course in history was the
first integrated history course giv-
en in any women’s college.

The class of ’89 arrived after
having passed stiff entrance ex-
aminations. Most of ‘the students
braved the first year of the Col-
lege suceessfully and welcomed the
class of 1890 with a play and

tious, students through the maze

sponsible for the welfare of two
hundred million people. Along
with protecting the public health,
the chief duty of the Ministry is
the training of health personnel—
physicians, dentists, pharmacists,
nurses, and various assistants. In
1941 there were 130,000 students,
75% of whom were women. It is
interesting to note that 50% of the
practicing physicians in Russia at
present are women, and Dr. Sieg-
erist expects a majority of women
doctors in the future. The Peo-
ple’s Ministry also supplies all med-
ical equipment—hospitals, instru-
ments, apparatus, and drugs. Thus
it controls the entire medical in-
dustry as well as all preventive,
diagnostic, and curative services.
The base of the pyramid that is
the Russian health administrative
system is formed by hundreds
thousands of small committ
wherever people get together for
work. “The battle against dis-
ease must be fought by the peo-
ple themselves,” asserted Dr. Sig-

them.” Skills of persons.who had

get since 1927. Farm income, gov-
ernment subsidies, and social in-
surance funds take care of extra-
ordinary expenses and pensions.

Successful Athle

The winter’s athletic season has
been an exceptionally successful
one. Badminton, swimming and
fencing teams have lost only one
of their’ respective contests with
outside colleges; basketball,’ how-
ever, has not done as ‘well as might
have been hoped for.

The badminton year started off
very well as Bryn Mawr scored
three successive 5-0 victories over
Drexel, Rosemont and the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. The team’s |
only defeat occurred in the game |

of 4-1, against Bryn Mawr, al-
though the season ended cheerfully
as Chestnut Hill was beaten by
4-1.

The swimming scores follow al-
most the same pattern as the bad-
minton team’s—initial victory, a
ane defeat, and a successful last

me. Beaver and Stwarthmore
were beaten; the next week Bryn
Mawr was defeated by Drexel and
finally, Penn, the arch-rival, was
defeated by a score of 53-31.

THE COLLEGE NEWS



Skinner Workshop
Opens for Artists

Creative talent on campus op-
ened in a new direction with the
Studio Warming sponsored bby the
Art Club last Tuesday. Fifteen
people arrived at the Mrs. Otis
Skinner Theatre Workshop and
met Mr. (Morris Blackburn, newly
appointed instructor. In his lec-
ture, Mr. Blackburn emphasized
the point that each artist sees the
subject (which was at the mo-
ment, Patty Hochschild) in his
own way, which can be quite dif-
ferent from the rendition of .an-
other artist. There were about ten
poses lasting from five to ten min-
utes, during which Mr. Blackburn
helped each girl, by further ex-
plaining his method of all-over ren-
dering. ig]

The next day, there were even
more hopeful artists assembled in
the workshop, which had received
its christening by that time with a
bottle of “India ink, spilled acci-
dentally by an over-eager enthus-
jast. Each one took turns posing
for the rest, who did their sketch-
es, for the most part, with a Jap-
anese brush and ink. The brush
was held at the end, and the stroke
achieved with the movement of the
whole arm. A problem of line
composition was tried. One girl
drew a brush line on her sheet of
paper; the next copied hers and
drew a new one of her own, and
so on until there were about twen-
ty loops and curves ‘on the last
sheet. This was a question of bal-
anced composition, the outcome of
which was very interesting.

These artistic afternoons are
very informal; cookies are passed
around, ¢igarettes smoked. There
was the feeling in the group that
two or three models would help
the work. With Mr. Blackburn as
instructor, the club would appear
to be well under way to a con-
structive future.

what the United States did after
the last war.” He also emphasized
the cardinal significance of security
in Russia’s foreign policy, point-
ing out that though Russia’s tech-
nique often lacks subtlety, it has
the boisterous exuberance of
youth. He urged Americans to
make every effdrt to learn more
about Russia and Russian tradi-
tions, knowledge basic to coopera-
tion with them.

Singers Prisent
Ballad Program

Informal folk-singing reigned in
the Common Room Friday night
under the auspices of Monnie Bel-
low, ’47, with two amateur ballad
experts, Mr. Ned Freeman and Mr.
William Pressman, performing
with voice and guitar.

The program included many
well-known ballads, such as “The
Foggy, Foggy Dew,” “Midnight
Special,” “Franky and Johnny,”
and “Blue Tail Fly,” the singers
responding to all the audience re-
quests.

Mr. Pressman, a graduate of
Penn and now a chemist, gathered
his*-repertoire- from travels about
the country, notably in the South.
His co-partner, Ned Freeman,
culled his knowledge of folk music
from records and listening to other
enthusiasts.
