B. M.C. To Hear
Arnold Toynbee
For Graduation

World Known Historian
To Give Address
June Second

THE COMPENSATION OF IN-
SECURITY—such is the topic sug-
gested by Arnold J. Toynbee for
his address to be given to members
of the Class of 1953 at their Com-
mencement on June 2.

This is by no means Dr. Toyn-

bee’s first appearance at Bryn
Mawr. In February and March
1947, he presented a series of six
lectures on Encounters Between
Civilizations under the auspices of
the Mary Flexner Lectureship.
Time Magazine, the March 17,
1947, issue, reports that “so many
students and visitors (one woman
drove from Minneapolis to hear
Toynbee) crammed the 1,000 seat
lecture hall ‘that people had to be
turned away”.
.. The nephew of an economist and
author,‘the son of a social work-
et father and a mother who was
ohe of the first British women to
be given a college degree—Arnold
@;“Toynbee’s ‘heritage was one of
‘scholarship and concern with in-
‘ternational affairs.. Born in Lon-
_don,..1889, he was trained in the
classics at Balliol, Oxford.

‘Back in England after travel-
ling throughout the Mediterranean
‘world, he apprenticed to practical
politics by editing a Government
pamphlet for Lord Bryce and, dur-
ing World War I, worked in in-
telligence sections of the Foreign
Office. Director of the Research
._Department of the Foreign Office
from 19438-1946, a member of the
British’ Delegation at the Paris
Peace Conference in 1946, he has
been Director of Studies in the
ae Institute of International
Affairs and Research Professor of
International History in the Uni-
versity of London since 1925.

Dr. Toynbee is above all an au-
thor, a philosopher of history. Per-
- haps his best-known work, A Study
of History, has proven to be “the
most provocative work of histor-
ical theory written in England
since Karl Marx’s_ Capital’.

lizations as intellectual fields of

Bach an ms,
Schubert’s “Mass”

by Maryellen Fullam, ’56

The Sarah Lawrence College and
Haverford College Glee Clubs, as-
sisted by a student string ensem-
ble, presented a spring concert at
Roberts Hall on May 1.

Haverford opened the program
with three psalms from Pilgrim
Psalms, by Russ Lee Finney, and
the familiar Bach aria, Strive and
Conquer, Hero Bold! The Brahms
Motet, Warum in das Licht gege-
ben, with which the combined cho-
rus closed the first part of the con-
cert, left Sarah Lawrence at some-
what of a disadvantage. The twen-
ty girls who comprised the glee
club were greatly outnumbered by
Haverford, and the unbalanced
voices rather spoffed the effect of
the selection.

For their part of the program,
Sarah Lawrence sang three light
selections, Old Abram Brown, by
Britten; Hunting Song, by Win-
ner; four songs in cannon form,
by Bacon; and in a more serious
vein, Soave sia il vento, by Mozart.
These were performed with pre-
cision, but lacked tonal quality,
and individual voices tended to
stand out. This was perhaps due
to the small size of the group, and
the contrast provided by the large
Haverford chorus.

Folk Songs

Haverford returned with three
superbly executed folk songs, The
Farmer’s Boy, arranged by Wil-
liams; The Nightingale, arranged
by Brockway, and Casey Jones, ar-
ranged by Lawton, which was not
quite as well done as the others,
The outstanding number of the
group was The Nightingale, sung
by E. J. Balis Thomas, baritone
soloist, with choral background.

‘The featured work of the eve-
ning was the G Major Mass by
Schubert, which was very well
performed. Sarah Lawrence seem-
ed to overcome the handicap of
Haverford’s strength and the ef-
fect was on the whole well bal-
anced. Credit is due the soloists,
Joanne Popper, Mary Lyn Whit-
man, Robert Reynolds, and Lewis
Thomas for their respective per-
formances, and the string ensem-
ble, which provided the accom-
paniment.

- The concert ‘was under the direc-
tion of Dr. William Reese, and Mr.
Hugh Ross.

the Seventh Annual Intercollegiate
Conference on Government’s meet-
ing at Harrisburg April 30 to May

2. The Conference, to which near- |.

ly every college and university in
the state sent 25 delegates, was
held as a. mock state legislature.
The opening session featured a
debate . between two Republican
and two Democratic members of
the Pennsylvania legislature, fol-
lowed by a day and a half of act-
ive student campaigning for the
office of state speaker of the model
legislature.



Mike Shor, of Haverford Col-
lege, was the candidate of the

Southeast Region, of which Bryn |:

of Pennsylvania, Temple, Swarth-

more, Villanova, Drexel, Rosemont,

West Chester State Teachers’ Col-
lege, and Haverford, is a member.
The Haverford headquarters buzz-
ed with ringing telephones, confer-
ences on strategy, frantic messen-
gers, and enemy spies, and in the
final count, the Southeast candi-
date won.

Each delegate was assigned to
a committee, of which there were
twelve, covering every topic from

Mr. Lerner Talks
On Open Society,
Open Mind Today

Speaking in the Common Room
Tuesday afternoon, Max Lerner,
New .York .Post columnist and
Brandeis University professor, ad-
dressed the last Alliance Assembly
on the subject “An Open Society
and an Open Mind.”

“There is a poem by W. H. Au-
den called ‘The Double Man’, which
we today seem to exemplify,” said
Mr. Lerner. We live in two
worlds —a personal universe and
an outside world, a public one —
society. The only true values exist
on the private level, but it is
through the techniques of the pub-
lic level that they can be pre-
served.

The most important characteris-
tic of the private existence is free-
dom; “the right to oppose, to be
different from others, and above
all, the right to be wrong.” These
can only exist in an open society.

As an example of a closed so-
ciety, and the pitfalls to be avoided

by an open society, Mr. Lernerl

cited the Russian society, which
“erodes the private universe.”
“Our job in foreign policy is to
help keep this society from spread-
‘ing, to consolidate the links with
allied countries, win over those
which are still neutral, and above
all, safeguard ourselves against
corruption by the very things we
find corrupt in totalitarianism.” It
is a difficult task, Mr. Lerner
pointed out, to keep the nation
united and on the defensive, and
still preserve freedom.

Examining our own open soci-
ety, Mr. Lerner stressed the fact
that the greatness of America lies
fhot in our material wealth, scien-
tific achievement, or labor force,
but rather in the nature of the so-
ciety itself. Our society derives
its greatness from its mobility —
lack of any rigid class system, and
the equality of opportunity which
is open to talent. This is not uni-
versally true, unfortunately, since

(The following statement is
drawn up by the Board of the
Bryn Mawr Alliance for Political
Affairs. It represents the views
of the Board, and not necessarily
those of the whole student body.)

We as students feel that the
function and reputation of the na-
tion’s universities stand in danger.
College to us is not a collection of
ivy covered buildings; it is the pri-
mary institution on which society
is dependent in its continuing
search for truth. Therefore the
prevailing atmosphere of college
must be one of freedom, in order
that both students and professors
may carry on their investigations
with an approach involving a ra-
tional consideration ‘of many di-
vergent views. It is only when the
individual has access to all points
of view that his conclusions can
be truly valid.

Fear Aroused

Any group which creates sus-
picion or fear, or which limits the
areas in which the college com-
munity is free to make inquiries
undermines the whole foundation
upon which the educational system
is based. We feel that the pres-
ent activities of the congressional
investigating committees _ have
placed an emphasis on conformity
which reduces free communication
of ideas on campuses and tends to
pervade the whole structure of the
nation’s intellectual life.

Although the committees are
legally valid, their procedures have
flaunted the legal traditions and
safeguards of a democracy. The
mere questioning of a witness be-
comes tantamount to guilt in the
eyes of the public. We feel that
if any investigations are to be
carried out, they should show the
whole picture of the nation’s co-
educational organization, rather
than pointing up a few isolated
instances of abuse. America has
an educational system which for
-the most part is objective and
searching in its methods. The kind
of publicity given to the commit-
tees’ findings is misrepresenting
this situation to the public, thus



Institute Provides
Study of the U.N.

The Eighth Annual Intercolle-
giate Institute on the United Na-
tions, bringing college students
from every section of the United
States for a week’s intensive study
of the UN, will meet in New York
City the week of June 14-20. The In-
stitute, known to be the oldest stu-
dent leadership conference on the
United Nations, is sponsored each
year by the Collegiate Council for
the United Nations, college affiliate
of American Association for the
United Nations, and will be held
at Finch College, East 78th Street,
New York City.

UN delegates, Secretariat mem-
bers, and international relations
experts will lead informal discus-
sion on vital UN issues. In addi-
tion to first hand study of United
Nations program and progress,
students will plan campus UN ac-

‘| tivities for the coming year and

will formulate recommendations

Universities Require Freedom

damaging both the universities and
the nation as a whole which should
be able to look to them for leader-
ship.

If the universities are to pro-
vide such leadership, it is incum-
bent upon them to maintain a
high standard of objective presen-
tation of knowledge. But the kind
of judgments which derive from
the fear and pressure techniques
employed by the committees are
not criteria for good teaching.
Surely any indoctrination must be
rooted out. However, we as stu-
dents feel we are alert to the
dangers of such attempted control
of thought, and would protest it.
Most important, it seems clear to
us that the university administra-
tion is in the best position to carry
on any necessary investigations in
a fair and unemotional way. The
final test of teaching is in the
classroom, rather than in the past
record of any individual. As mem-
bers of a college community, we
belong to a fine tradition of re-
sponsible and thoughtful educa-
tion; we do not need to be pro-
tected from ourselves.

Bagpipes And Food
Spice I.R.C. Party

Travel to Europe may be diffi-
cult, it may be expensive, it may
be impossible! However, an enter-
taining substitute was provided by
the International Relations’ Club
on Monday afternoon in the Com-
mon room.

Bagpipes, a guitar, plus . that
good old American institution—a
record player, provided music from
many lands. Food with a decided-
ly ‘foreign’ flavor was provided,
exhibits from far and wide lent
the Common room a different air.

Emmy Rauh was the “Hostess
with the Mostess” travel informa-
tion, for she introduced us to tal-
ented representatives from India,
from the Ukraine, from Scotland,
from Egypt, from China, from Ha-
waii, while suitable delegates show-
ed how Spanish dances were per-
formed, and the dance club did a
Russian (Karabuska. From the
United States vicinity we had a
Mexican song, while “Clementine’
effectively united Egypt and Amer-
ica in community singing. Inter-

Curriculum

On the Bryn Mawr campus, the Curriculum Committee
is an important, if little publicized, influence. It acts pri-
marily as an information center through which students can
have answered any questions concerning curriculum. The
committee is striving to establish a working unity between
students and professors, through frequent meetings with the
faculty. Also, the committee changes outdated curriculum
when the need for this arises.

New courses and majors are added when there is a con-
crete demand for them. The most recent example of this is
the addition of the music major. There has been consider-
able demand for establishment of such a major; plans for this
have been completed this spring. Unfortunately, the music
major will not be available to the class of 1954, but will go
into effect for the present Sophomore class.

In a recent poll of students conducted by the committee,
it was found that a majority felt that the two-oral require-
ment should be kept. However, students expressed a desire
that Latin be included. With the addition of a Latin oral,
next year’s Freshman class will have more scope in choosing
their languages both in preparing for college and in actual
college courses.

In addition to such actual changes in curriculum, there
are many lesser known functions of the committee. Among
these are the class teas which are given to acquaint future

majors with course requirements and other details. During
Freshman Week, a tea is held for incoming Freshmen, at
which members of the committee answer questions about
their respective departments. In the Spring, a similar event
is attended by the Sophomores. .

-. The Curriculum Committee at Bryn Mawr is unique
among most colleges. But many students show little interest
in the committee and seem hardly to know of its existence.

The committee and its faculty coordinators spend time and}

thought in sounding out students and attempting to organize
curriculum changes for our benefit. If the committee is. to
function effectively, the students themselves must cooperate.

Open meetings are announced, and suggestions and — |

are welcome at any time.

Letter

A. Nicholson Criticizes
Pseudo-sentiment
News Style

To the Editor:

Can anything be done about the
tea-shoppy attitude that has af-
flicted: the style. of some of the
News’ editorials, poems, etc., re-
eently? Why do we have to have
‘a poem ending “ .. . It’s really,
truly spring!”? Is it necessary
to refer to May Day as “the an-
nual May Day festivities”, and
then five lines later to talk about
the “unruly morning visitors”
“disrupt the. festivities” ?

In another editorial we read

who

that “... (traditions) are enjoyed,
even revered. They are part of
Bryn Mawr.” These more than

obvious statements saturated with
pseudo-sentiment seem out of
place in a college newspaper.

The student-
written bills were hotly debated in
committee, and the debating rose
to an even higher pitch when the
entire 475 delegates met in the
Education Forum of the Capitol

,to consider the bills reported by
| the committees.

The Rules Com-
mittee report was overruled, dele-
gates resenting. the three-minute
debate limit on bills, and for a time
the legislature was left without
rules to guide its conduct, until
new rules were adopted. Motions
were proposed from every part of
the floor, long debates ensued, and
copies of Roberts’ Rules of Order
were much in evidence. Among
the most significant legislation
passed by the mock legislature
were a repeal of the Pechan Act
and the establishment of a mini-
mum wage for Pennsylvania of 75
cents an hour. Debating and lob-
bying continued at an exhausting
pace until the conference finished
consideration of bills Saturday



evening.



Max Lerner Emphasizes

Continued from Page 1
religious and racial restriction still
must be broken down, “the work
to be finished in creating an open
society.” Nevertheless, we live in
an essentially open society, whose
core is the freedom of intellectual
belief.

In research for a ‘inal on Amer-
ican civilization, Mr. Lerner noted
changes in the American person-
ality which, coupled with existing
political conditions, present a
threat to an open society. The
American people are following a
trend toward conformity; life
goals are based on success, pres-
tige, acceptance. It has become in-
creasingly important for the in-
dividual to feel that he is liked
and accepted, and he is willing to
conform to certain standards to
achieve that sense of security in
society.

The Cold War has had its in-
fluence, in the form of an intense
fear:of Communism, which has put
more and more emphasis.on con-
formity. . ;

It is only within a structure such
as this that McCarthy has any im-

portance. We are faced with the
problem of a small group which
has the power to sit in judgment
upon the rest of the country, and
many people are frightened. This
group of “grand inquisitors” has
the power of subpoena, the power
to punish contempt, and the power
of publicity, by which they can ef-
fectively destroy the position of an
individual in society. “They are
the ‘killers of the dream’, who
wrap the flag around the naked
shoulders of their reaction.”

We must as a people recapture
the tradition of a people who did
not fear to emigrate to a new
country, to defy the wilderness of
an unknown land to build a new
civilization. We are now in danger
of destroying ourselves as did the
Emperor Jones, who, caught in a
jungle of his own fears, died of
his own bullet.

“I am a man of perfect faith,”
concluded Mr. Lerner. “I believe
it best in the words of John Milton
to ‘Let truth and falsehood grap-
ple; who ever knew truth put to
worse in a free and open encoun-



ter.’”



Current Events

Mrs. Manning Lectures
On Leadership
' Of G. O. P.

This week Current Events offer-
ed a lecture on the Eisenhower Ad-
ministration by Mrs. Manning. In
introducing her topic she comment-
ed on the personnel of the cabinet
—“‘as some wag remarked, ‘ten
millionaires and a plumber’.”” She
stressed that Eisenhower’s choice
of these men is “not important be-
cause they are rich, but because:
they represent top leadership in
big business in this country today.”

She went on to say, “Americans
should accept the fact that it is
large scale production that has
been responsible for winning two
wars and that all efforts to get rid
of ‘bigness’ have not only failed
but must also appear to any rea-
sonable person to be perfectly fu-
tile. If we are facing the possibil-
ity of a third world war we are not
likely to win by any other means.” °

Big Business

Mrs. Manning added that big
business has also made consider-—
able progress in improving the re-.
lations between workers and. em-
ployers.

At the present time, she feels, |
the most real conflict within the
GOP is probably between large and
small business. “The small busi-
nessman has always been in favor
of a protective tariff, or a return
to as much isolationism as appears
to be possible, or reducing taxes,
etc. And because there are so many.
more small businessmen than
there are great industrialists and
financiers, they had considerably
more influence in party conven-
tions and party councils before
elections than any other group.
This predominance came to an end
at the Philadelphia Convention in
1940.”

Small Business

Eisenhower is now faced with a
Congress where the influence of
the small businessman is very
strong. He and his party also face
a serious difficulty in that ‘most
businessmen “have not ever really
faced the problems of government
which often touch a great variety
of values which can’t be reckoned
in terms of profit and loss.”

Finally there is the problem of
businessmen making themselves
over into politicians. Mrs. Man-
ning said that “it would be a great
help (to President Eisenhower) if
at least one member of the cabinet
knew how to speak the language
of the politicians and perhaps even

more important the language ‘of
the press.”

In spite of these difficulties, she
concluded, “there is a good deal
of evidence to date that the Repub-
licans in Congress are accepting
Eisenhower leadership and realize
that, to paraphrase Ben Franklin,
the Republican party must hang
together if Republicans are not to
face defeat separately.”



Seniors are reminded that. fin
December they signed
names and places of residence
as they were to appear in the
Commencement Program.
Changes may be made until
May 20th, at the Recorder’s Of-
fice. Otherwise the December

“SLID” Anticipates
College Conference
On Our Democracy

“Conformity and Dissent in Our
American Democracy” will be the
subject of a two-day student con-
ference to be held in New York
City, June 12 and 13, 1953.

The conference, which is being
organized by students, will fea-
ture moderators and __ student
speakers, who will share the plat-
form with well known experts from
various fields. It will be open to
the public, with registration on the
first day of the conference. Stu-
dents who attend schools outside
New York, but whose homes are
here, will be able to participate be-
cause the conference is being held
at the end of the semester.

On Saturday, June 138th, the con-
ference will divide into three
panels, running concurrently.
Panel number one, entitled “Con-
formity in Information Media,
Literature and the Arts”, will deal
with the one party press and the
effects of private censorship on
radio, T.V. and films.

Threats to Education

The second panel will be con-
cerned with “Threats to Educa-
tion from the Right and Left’’, and
will deal with the question of Com-
munist teachers, and of private
pressure groups and their effects
on the schools. Panel number
three on “The Effects of Conform-
ity on Our Foreign Policy and on
America’s Prestige Abroad’, will
deal with the implications of po-
litical warfare.

The conference is being spon-
sored by the Student League for
Industrial Democracy, America’s
oldest campus Liberal society. In
the words of John Dewey, the
League is dedicated to the task of
education on behalf of “increasing
democracy in every aspect and
reach of our common life.” Head-
quarters of the SLID is at 112 East
19th Street, New York 3. N. Y.
Following the conference, the
$.L.L.D. will hold its national con-
vention.

SPORTS

by Lynn Badler, ’56

Both spring sports represented
by varsities—lacrosse and tennis—
played varsity games on April 29.
In tennis the varsity of Bryn Mawr
defeated the varsity of Temple 5-0,
and the junior varsity also de-
feated Temple 5-0. For the var-
sity, Patsy Price, Pauline Smith,
and Maggie Stehli played in the
singles matches, and Lois Bonsal
with Harriet Cooper and Bea Mer-
rick with Sarane Hickox were the
doubles stars. The junior varsity
team consisted of Phil Tilson, Ann
Peterkin, and Ann Fosnocht as
members of the singles team, and
Suki Kuser playing with Nancy
Potts and Laura Larson playing
with Glenna Vare as members of

Coatesville Group
Presents Comedy
‘Sailor’s Minstrel’

“The Sailors’ Minstrel” headed
the playbill on Thursday, April 30,
when Bryn Mawr members of The
Little Theatre Players participat-
ed in their last play of the season.

“The Minstrel”, written by a pa-
tient at Coatesville Veterans’ Hos-
pital, deals with a group of sailors
who invite girls aboard ship and
is the story of how one girl con-
vinces the captain that he should
forget the rules and let her friends
stay aboard. The persuasive fem-
ale, played by Vicky Kraver, chair-
man of the Bryn Mawr group, was
supported by a cast including Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania students,
Coatesville patients, and Bryn
Mawr undergraduates.

“We put on musicals just for the
fun of it”, Vicky explains. “You
don’t have to be talented or spend
a lot of time.” This applies to cos-
tumes as well as acting and sing-
ing. Street clothes, gym suits, and
ingenuity helped supply atmos-
phere for “Theatre Party” the Feb-
ruary play.

The three shows Bryn Mawr
shares are planned to leave stud-
ents with free time to study before
major exams. Other members of
The Little Theatre fill in to pro-
vide a play every month.

‘News’ Selects New
Subscription Editor

“Who? Me?” was Di Facken-
thal’s first comment when asked
if she would act as subscription
manager for the News. A dele-
gation of two caught up with her
just between lunch and sophomore
song meeting.

Di has been a member of the
junior varsity hockey squad and a
hall Athletics Association repre-
sentative. She also sings in Col-
lege Chorus.

Between Chorus rehearsals,
hockey practice (in season), and
labs (a math major), Di is to be
found in her room—the room to
the left in the alcove to the right
at the beginning of third corridor,
second floor in Rock—with her two
stuffed and amiable roommates, a
lion named Lucifer and mother and

‘child kangaroos, Kate and Dupli-

Kate.



For those who may arrive at
the Music Room next Sunday,

val Latin. The Classics Club urg-
es all those interested in the Mid-

tea.

Letters from
Abroad

Modestly, quietly, almost hap-
hazardly, during the months I have
been staying with them in Paris,
the Carpentiers have tried to -ex-
plain to me what it was like to live
through a war. Their story is of
indiviauals, yet it refiects the ha.d-
ships and courage of all France:

Madame Carpentier, as I know
her, is a dignified, indomitable lady
with white hair and dark, spark-
ling eyes. She manages to com-
bine a broad curiosity about the
world and all its people with a pre-
cise ambition to master every sit-
uation that comes her way. She
rules a large family of children
and grandchildren with tact and
authority, and in her spare time
directs committees for the Red
Cross and the Cancer League. But
sometimes, in a quiet moment,
when she is tired, she pauses and
thinks aloud: “When I remember
all I have lived through, I wonder
that I’m still here.”

Then she talks of the German
Occupation: of what it meant in
day-to-day life, of what it was
like on a few, terrible days.

Lack of Heat

Because her husband, who died
just at the end of the war, was
Mayor of the 6th arrondissement,
his family remained in Paris dur-
ing the four long years of the Oc-
cupation, from July 1940 to Aug-
ust 1944. During this time the
material conditions of life—heat,
clothes, and especially food—were
bad enough, but the emotional un-
certainties—fear and _ suspicion,
and constant secrecy—were “unim-
aginable”.

The Carpentier house has the
massive, magnificent proportions
that were fashionable in the 1870’s,
with spacious drawing rooms and
windows fourteen feet high. It is
not easy to heat, even in peace-
time. And the Germans allotted
almost no wood, oil or coal for pri-
vate use. Winters must have been
as damp and marrow-chilling in-
doors as they were outdoors; and
for some reason, the war years
brought particularly ruthless
weather. The Carpentiers, in their
imposing private house, had chil-
blains.

Food and Clothing Scarce

It was rarely possible to buy
new clothes, either for warmth or
for decency, under the rationing
system. Madame made dresses
from curtains and slipcovers, or
traded outgrown children’s clothes
for things which came nearer fit-
ting. Her young daughter, Mar-
tine, was delighted at the chal-
lenge. She turned into an accom-
plished cobbler, making shoes from
blocks of wood and bits of old ma-
terial.

The worst problem was food.
Rationing allowed less calories per
day than what is considered the
minimum to keep alive. (Gas for
cooking was turned on only a few
hours at a time, sometimes one and
three in the morning, just out of
spite. There was no butter, hard-
ly any fat. Madame took to mak-
ing salad dressing out of cod liver
oil. There was a rare, tough little
piece of meat, perhaps once a
month. The best fish went to the
Germans, and stores sold escalope
de poisson, a pulp made of bones
and fishheads. The vegetable sup-
ply varied from season to season.
The staple was a large yellow tur-
nip called a rutabaga, and at times
the family just ate rotting, uncook-
ed potatoes.

The black market was run by
bofs, collaborators who made great
fortunes selling butter, eggs and
cheese (beurre, oeufs, fromage).
The majority of the French people,
however, were too poor to buy ex-
tra rations, and many died of hun-
ger.

“Murder by Mail”
Delivers Intrigue,

“Taste Of Death”

by Harriette Solow, ’56

“The headline of a Toronto news-
paper was McGrew Mixes Murder
and Mediaeval Studies, or maybe it
was Mediaeval Interest,” explained
Julia McGrew, winner of a Work-
man Fellowship. “I guess it might
be called a mixture when some-
one does two things in the same
Hiifetime,” “she continued, ‘I’ll de-
vote my time to higher things
next year.”

Emphasis on “higher things’ (a
Ph.D. in the field of Mediaeval
Languages and Literature) means
a vacation for Fenn McGrew, au-
thor of Murder by Mail and Taste
of Death. The latter, published in
1958, was written by Mrs. Tom
Fenn with plot and structure sup-
plied by Julia McGrew.

“Mediaeval Studies” might be
responsible for forming a writing
team consisting of a student who
received her B.S. and M.A. at
Oberlin, and of the wife of the
head of the Government Depart-
ment there. The mysteries, in
turn, help “buy many mediaeval
texts and dictionaries.”

As a book, Taste of Death has no
connection with mediaeval ages. A
small girls’ boarding school in
Ohio is the setting. The dramatics
teacher was stabbed just as she
was about to make the spot where
Julius Caesar would be stabbed in
the play which was to be given
the next day. A cast of very in-
teresting characters increases the
fun of “who-done it?” These in-
clude the domineering author of
pamphlets entitled “How to Plant
the Seeds of Assumption of Group
Responsibility” and “How to Pre-
vent Individual Members of the
Group from Verbalizing Their Own
Prejudices”, a very imaginative
and neurotic student, teacher-
roommates who argue the ques-
tion of marriage versus study, and
a police lieutenant who, according
ato the book jacket, “fosters a ro-
mance.”

French Club Farce
Given Drama Prize

Jules Supervielle’s farce La Pre-
miere Famille, as presented by the
Bryn Mawr French Club at the
Cultural Olympics held in Hous-
ton Hall at the University of Penn-
sylvania on February 26, has won
an “Award of Merit in French
-Drama”. This will be formally
awarded on Friday, May 8, at the
Academy of Music.

Directed by M. Gonnaud and
with sets by Fritz Janschka, the
play deals with the problems of
Adam, who is irresistibly drawn
to all females except Eve. The
cast of characters (complete with
a reindeer, a bear, and even a
marvelous dinosaur) includes Jean-
Louis Wolff, Edith Robichon, Sue
Halperin, George Segal, and M.
Leblanc.

S.D.A. To Present
Labor Union Movie.
‘With These Hands’

“With These Hands” the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers
were organized into a union. Recall-
ing his work in a 1910 sweatshop,
Alexander Brody (Sam _ Levene)
traces the history of struggle
leading to the eventual goal of
stability and ‘security for the gar-
ment workers. This movie will be
shown by S. D. A. in conjunction
with League and Alliance Thursday
night, May 7, at 8:30 in the Com-
mon Room.

Documentarily accurate, the film
is humanized to provide a striking
picture of the development of or-
ganized labor. Told through the
life of one man who helped build
this particular union, the story car-
ries through to the point where the
sixty-five-year-old worker can re-
tire under the Union Pension Fund.
Although the film describes defin-
ite incidents in the growth of one
union, it is, in a more general
sense, the story of every union.
The first film ever made by a labor
union stars Sam Levene and Arlene
Francis as a worker and his wife.



On April 29, the Legislature
voted to accept the new League
Constitution and the changes in
the Alliance Constitution. Drawn
up by Molly Plunkett, Patsy
Price, and their boards, the new
constitutions are now in effect.







Kemp Chosen Head
Of Freshman Week

If you see a preoccupied some-
one who goes around worryg
about scheduling a dance, a fur-
niture sale, and various other
events, a safe bet will be that she’s
the chairman of next year’s Fresh-
man Week committee, Elsie Kemp.
Upon her rests the responsibility
of seeing that next year’s Fresh-
men feel more or less at home and
familiar with the campus within
the space of one all-too-short week.

An English major, Elsie spends
a good deal of time and effort in
College Theater. A notable per-
formance was last year’s Desde-
A busy Junior
(especially now) Elsie calls both
Baltimore and Pem West home.

Observer

The park sounds with the sharp
cries of remote seagulls, children’s
calls, the shriek of a hammer on
the hub of a flat tire and the
rasps of the starling. All around -
the city’s life swirls, a far-off mur-
mur, covered by the cries of the
park. Still, amid the bustle, two
children sit on opposite benches,
looking shyly at each other. The
old ladies nod in the sunshine or
talk quietly to themselves. The



children wander over to the statue
and try climbing it from different
sides. One reaches the bronze
foot. The other peeps around in
admiration. She runs back and
picks up her skip-rope. A young
couple wanders along the path
aimlessly, hand in hand. An old
woman in a wheel-chair goes to
sleep, her head with its flowered
hat rolling tiredly to one side. The
little girl whirls her rope faster
and faster and the other is drawn
by its magic swirl— Orange and
Pink jump together and Orange
misses. Pink explains and the two
jump together. Orange asks her
mother if she can come again to-
morrow as Pink goes home. The
heat swims on the pavement and
the old woman smiles in her sleep.

The Carpentier family was in an

position, was naturally mistrusted

by the Germans. He was also mis-
