Role of Student
In World Now

Largest Enrollment
In B. M. History
: Announced

Goodhart Hall, October 1. “If

an-finds the tragedy of war ac-
ceptable he is lost,” said President
McBride in her opening address to
the first College Assembly. She
stressed the paint that man today
must find a new way of facing is-
sues, Instrumental in this task
will be the groups who ‘are now
studying in the colleges and _uni-
versities all over the country; it
remains to be seen just how far
this force will carry. Students to-
day have all the knowledge in the
world before them ,and they can
look ahead to the future with new
hope.

Since the war a new impetus
has been given to adult education.
Formerly,,a student had to decide
as—soon—as_he left high school
whether or not to continue his ed-
ucation at a college or university.
Now an adult can pick up the
threads of education at almost any
age.

Miss McBride announced thai
during the past summer Mrs. Chad-
wick-Collins has been making ex-
tensive preparations for the/dive
to raise $2,000,000 for Bryn’ Mawr.
Part of the money will be used to
erect new buildings and language
houses, and another announcement
as to the official use of the money
can be expected shortly. Sugges-
tions for raising funds will be
gratefully received, and should be
addressed to Mrs. Collins.

President McBride informed the
Assembly that this year Bryn
Mawr has enrolled the largest
student body in its history. The
graduate and the undergraduate
schools together total 680 stud-
ents. The former has the great-
est number since 1942, while the
latter has a larger group than
ever before.

Unfazed by the football season
and spurred on by the faculty sal-
ary drive, the Juniors will present
a racy riotous show on Saturday,
October 12 which promises to be
one of the year’s biggest events.

Love, intrigue and murder each
play a part in this tale of the first
Atlantic City Beauty Contest. It
seems that young Ernest Beaver,
a graduate of Pulse Normal, who
later gastriculated at Pitiful State,
sets out to win the swimming race
at Atlantic City, thereby to become
Mr. America and $10,000 richer.
But in the first act Ernie is mom-

Bones, Mice Fascinate Children
At Miss Yeager’s Summer Camp

by Helen Hale ’49

“Oh, dem rattlin’ bones!,” was
the startled whisper of a little
girl, as she was being ushered
into Miss Gardiner’s skeleton room
in Dalton. Miss Yeager took
groups from her camp, The Bryn
Mawr Summer Day Camp, to Dal-
ton to see the white mice and all
the other natural wonders there.
This-was all part of her program
to teach the children more about
people, communities, their respon-
sibility in a, community, and the
im lations between com-
munities.

Miss Yeager included in her pro-
gram a “World Hour,” conducted
by Allison -Raymond, which put

~thesé ideas across to the group of

children of all races and creeds.
The purpose of the hour was to
broaden the scope of children,
whose education and environment
had limited them in that respect.

by the Junior Red Cross, Main Line

greater part by friends and
agencies.

Swimming, tennis, and badmin-
ton occupied the time of the older
children, while the younger ones
played jacks and hopscotch on the
cement walk between Merion and
the Gym. Alice Hedge and Mar-

gave classes in diving and singing
respectively. For children who

ped by three thugs. Torso, one of
these, evidently has designs on the
ready cash too. In an entre-acte
and the second act, the story mys-
teriously unfolds, but how cannot
be told, because either the direct-
ors are being very clandestine or
else they really have not the vag-
uest notion how the race is going
to turn out.

The show is shot through with
original songs and authentic rag-
time. The bathing beauties are a
gorgeous eyeful, and certainly the
most assiduous beachcomber has
never before come across such a
spectacle on the sands.

The cast is as follows:

Ernie Beaver, Sandol Stoddard;

thug, Jean Swittendich; Herman,

The show, planned last spring,

is being directed by Ann Chase.

Common

Delegate Starts
Series on ISS’
Summer Abroad

By Nancy Morehouse ’47

One of the most serious effects
of a war is the interruption it
creates in the normal processes of
living, both material and intellec-
tual. The consequences of this
interruption have naturally been
far more pronounced in areas in
which the war was truly “total,”
in which it became more than the
mere focal point of normal activi-
ties, providing a whole new pattern
of living totally different from that
of peace. This generalization ap-
plies much more to Europe than
to the United States; and the ef-
fects of it in the intellectual sphere
are now having a profound effect
on present day problems of ‘recon-
struction.

Renewed Contact Sought

The European student of today
is very conscious of this hiatus in
his development. The sense of be-
ing out of contact with the world
during the war years, though in
some-cases producing a withdrawal
into the peculiar problems of the
individual, has, in the more vital
elements of the student group, en-
gendered an intense interest in
things outside their own country,
and particularly outside Europe.
The real job facing those who are
hoping, in those unfortunately
euphemistic words, to develop “fu-
ture international cooperation” on
student bases, lies in again bring-
ing together students of all nation-
alities, particularly Europeans and
Americans.

Summer Exchange

A very tentative attempt to. pro-
vide the personal contacts which
are. essential-in such a scheme was
made this summer by a number of
groups. Excluding those dealing
more generally with “‘youth,” the
principal organizations carrying
out such experiments were the
Student Christian Movement, the
International Union of Students,
and International Student Service.
Specially organized groups en-
gaged in language and area stud-
ies, as well as exchange arranged
between the various National Stu-

Freshman Dance with Haverford
Characterized by Plentiful Stags

By Barbara

The class of ’50-is due for a big
year, if the annual Freshman dance
with Haverford was any sign. On
the dot of nine last Saturday night
about one hundred fifty Haverford
“men” marched into the gym by
twos, well chaperoned by many
belligerent looking upperclassmen.
It was an unnerving sight to the
five freshmen and.the floor commit-

A New Foreign Policy

The last few weeks have seen the appearance of a num-
‘ber of pronouncements on various aspects of American for-
eign policy. Mr. Byrnes laid down the American program
for Germany at Stuttgart; Mr. Walter Lippmann followed
with a number of articles criticizing that program; Mr. Henry
Wallace let forth his blast against current American policy
toward Russia. At the same time the Peace Conference has
been attempting to draw a line of compromise where the ba-
sic differences of the American and Russian policies may
meet. All this leads up to one question which we as Amer-.
icans must ask ourselves: what kind of Europe would we, the
ordinary citizens of the United States, like to see emerge
from the present chaos.

The Basic Problem

All the statements seem to add up to some kind of con-
tradiction, or at any rate to a lack of any general bases of
criticism among Americans. Mr. Lippmann criticizes Mr
Byrnes for playing into Russia’s hands in his proposal for the
economic unity of Germany; while Mr. Wallace condemns Mr.
Byrnes for being too antagonistic to Russia. Neither of these
statements faces the crucial question. As the problem is seen
by the New Statesmen and Nation, “Germany, or at least
Western Germany, is invited to accept from American hands
‘freedom’ on terms acceptable to American Big Business.”

The question before all Americans is whether we wish
our government to accept the role in which it is depicted by
many Europeans now: official champion of the capitalistic
system in world politics. Mr. Byrnes’ present policy, the
corner-stone of which is opposition to Russian “designs,” is

calculated to confirm this interpretation for many Europeans. |

This is not to condemn a policy of opposition to Russian ex-
pansion ; but this opposition should be rather a corollary than
the central premise of our foreign policy or of any foreign
policy worthy of the name. What we need at this time, and
now more than ever before, is a foreign policy which repre-
sents the general American interest both officially and unof-
ficially, and is not, as Europeans would tend to find it, a cloak

Spectator

Specially Contributed

“Thus I live in the world as a
Spectator of mankire, rather than
as one of the species.”' Addison.
Here, in this smaller, but no less
intensive turbulence, there also
are the Drury Lane, the coffee
houses, clubs, stock-jobbers, the
Whigs and Tories, and, to watch
all this with a look at once of
compassion and criticism, there are
again such eternal spectators. Our
face is seen everywhere, but we
are a silent company. We sit next
to you in classes, are often encoun-
tered among the stacks, read our
Times in the smoker, drink coffee
with you at the Inn. And all this
is not done in blindness, but in a
conspiracy of silence, which I now
propose to break.

What use is all our observation

sors of English or of Philosophy,
what use to notebooks or to sil-
ence? For observation is like
money: you have to open your
purse to get any use out of it. I
propose, then to open my purse to
all who have the inclination to
take from it, for I have enough of
hoarding. I propose to tell you a
little of what you are thinking, a
little of what I am thinking, and
a little of that nonsense we both
are thinking, however much we
try to keep our minds upon the
good, the true, ard the beautiful.

This is a season full of good,
true, and beautiful resolutions. We
seem. to have two New Years: the
first of January and the first of
October. Now is the time when
all the drawers are neat, when
there is a plan to end all plans
posted above our desks; now is the
time we revise our diet and our
course card, thereby reforming
once more our corporeal and our
spiritual shapes. Once more, no
doubt, June will come upon usa
little fatter and not much’ wiser,
but were we cynics enough to alg
olish all this making of resolutions,
think how entirely obese and stu-
pid we would become...

This autumnal vigor is not
ours alone. The weather, which
sponge-like had sucked up all in-
tensities, now gives one last heave,
in which the landscape bulges with
green andthe squirrels yell at one
another with quite unwarranted
fury. Ani we, we sit on the steps,
the benches, the lawns, annoyed
alike at the sun which keeps us
from the books and the books
which keep us from the sun. A
few of us were sitting so, the oth-

bad day, drugged with coffee and

lectures, cigarettes and sun, when
we were joined by Mickey, the in-
scrutable airdale. He ate several
crackers, allowed himself to be
scratched, fell asleep, and then
suddenly closed his amber eyes and
began to bark with indiscriminate
emphasis at Taylor Hall, Mr.
Nahm, a Distinguished Visitor, and
several librarians. We tried to
quiet him, and failing, left him,
‘pretending not to know him. There
is something rather schizoid about
Mickey. He is like a friend you
take to a party, who, whether in-
toxicated by the people or by the
liquor, suddenly becomes loud and
unmanageable, offends the hostess,

Current Events

“There is a great deal of good
will, ‘interest, courage, and trou-
bled feeling in. Germany today,”
stated Miss Hertha Kraus, Asso-
ciate Professor of Social Economy
and Social Research, recently re-
turned from Germany, where she
spent five months with the United
Friends’ Service Committee, “The
German people feel that something
has gone wrong, but they don’t
quite understand what it is, or
why they have been involved in so
much horror and bloodshed, or how
to prevent the recurrence of such
a tragedy.”

One of the principal needs gf
Germany today, feels Miss Kraus,
is the constructive assistance of
the occupation forces. The United
States military government is per-
forming many functions, such as
the importation of foodstuffs, and
the organization of lectures and
youth activities, but it is not co-
operating in the emotional reha-
bilitation of the people. Russia
seems to be offering them a more
positive encouragement.

Shortages are very acute, and the
prohibition of inter-zone importa-
tions, except between the. United
States and British occupied areas,
has aggravated them. There is
also a critical shortage of person-
nel since many potential workers
are either still in prison camps,
or are awaiting trial: As a result
of this severe lack of necessitiez,
many young people have felt it
necessary to turn scavengers, sal-
vaging anything they can find in
refuse heaps. “You wonder how
these people are going to end
some day,” stated Dr. Kraus.

Very few industries are as yet
operating, although the schools and
universities have commenced to
re-open. Dr. Kraus observed that
many people were on the roads;
some were returning to their own
communities by order of the mil-
itary government, while others
were migrating in search of some
place to live. :

I have talked with leisure and
a lack of transition which the Eng-
lish department would deplore, of

the season of resolutions, of the
effects of the weather, of incon-

sistency in dogs and friends, but |.

all the while I am really talking
about nostalgia, that most autumn-
nal emotion. For nostalgia, in
autumn, grows all over everything.
It is a fall vintage, and, like wine,
takes a long time to make, should
be tasted’slowly and performs upon
our minds a most pleasant and in-
sidious form of witchery.

necessity of another war Alliance.

“The- policies. of the students be-
come the policy of the Alliance,
which gives it éxpression and di-
rection through the Undergradu-
ate Volunteer Activities Program.
This program has political jobs of
all sizes and shapes to suit all
tastes and schedules; the jobs
which seem most interesting and
fun have been selected—so come
down to Goodhart tomorrow and
register for the one which appeals

'to you the most.”

“The emphasis in the League,”
said Helen Poland, its president,
“is the responsibility of the stud-
ents to the community. The Lea-
gue provides a varied group of ac-

tivities in the ‘field of social work. |

The League believes this is not
only an essential part of* extra-
curricular activities but it can make
a constructive contribution to one’s
college experience. So come down
and join up for a League activity.”

International Conferences
The pre-war custom of interna-

this year, notably in the Prague
Congress of the I.U.S., the Con-
ference of the Student Christian
Movement at: Gwatt, Switzerland,
the Pax Romana conference at Fri-
bourg, and the I.S.S. Conference at
Cambridge, England. Though each
of these conferences was directed
to various specific the

contacts across

ies. The scheme of “study tours,”
envisaging the visit of a small

group of overseas students to se-
lected points within one country
designed to give a general picture
of that country, was developed and
found particularly useful by the
S.C.M. and the I.S.S. Results of a
djfferent type were obtained in the
actions of students to the work
of setting up a new international
organization, the I.U.S.

Personal Contacts Needed

Throughout all these schemes it
became increasingly apparent that
the personal contact is the vital
factor. Interesting and _ illumin-

a setting that is part of one’s own

experience. One must not only

know the facts of Czechoslovak
existence, one must. learn through
and with Czechs, and one must
enjoy with them their own recrea-

tion. Nor is this a one-sided af-

fair: our reaction to the various
aspects of their country is as il-

luminating for them as for us. This
is the core of student exchange;
the farther it can be extended, the
greater the number of students it
can embrace, the broader will be
the outlook of..each individual stu-
dent and the more valid will inter-
national studies become.
