B.M. Basketball Team
~ Loses Game to Penn
Penn, February 3. The Owls
first basketball game of the season
ended in a 38-33 victery for the
fast and tricky Penn téam.
At the end of the first quarter
Bryn Mawr led by one point; the
second quarter, however, decided
the game with Penn’s _ surging
ahead by ten points. When Agnes
Nelms came in for the second half,
Bryn Mawr’s prospects brightened,
“and the. Owls outscored the maroon
team 17-122. In spite of their come-
back, the yellow team was still five
points behind when the whistle
blew.
Varying their’ tactics ‘a great
deal, Penn’s team played a_par-
ticularly fast game, distinguished
by tricky passes and good lay-up
shots. The Owls were slow in
moving up to the ball, sticking to
one place while the Maroon guards
pet age ob it was a remark-|-
ably even fmatch when there was
not too much fouling.
The yellow guards, especially
the captain Yvonne Townsend,
played a magnificent game, while
Nancy Niles was the top-scoring
forward with six field goals and
one free throw to her credit. Joan
Hitchcock, Freshman forward who
played all four quarters, came in
second with eight points.
~The downfall of the Junior Var-
sity also came in the second quar-
ter, and they lost 34-31 to Penn’s
second team. Star of the green
team was Posy Johnson who piled
up sixteen points.

Common Room, February 7. To-
night in-a Vocational Conference
on teaching, Dr. Burton Fowler,
Headmaster of the Germantown
Friends School, emphasized the
importance of the right ‘people be-
coming teachers in elementary
schools.
liberal arts colleges have the back-
ground and personality of human
beings, and are therefore ipoten-
tially the best teachers. He as-
serted that teaching is an “inspir-
ing, challenging, and exciting ad
- venture.”
Miss Hart of the Girls’ High
School of Philadelphia endorsed
everything Dr. Fowler said as ap-
plicable to secondary schools. She
added that broad interests are es-
pecially important because educa-
tion “is the whole life of the child,
and the whole life of the world.”
Inflexible teachers, are bad, and a
broad training, such as found ih a
liberal arts college and in a teach-
‘ing interneship, is vital. The money

The library may well be said -tu.
be the most populated spot on the
Bryn Mawr. Campus but for some
reason many students seem to be
ignorant of its inner recesses. They
trek back and forth from _ the
stacks to the reading room _ but
very few penetrate around the cor-
ner to the Rare Book Room which
jis usually amazingly unoccupied.
‘Whether or not its whereabouts are
the. average Bryn
Mawrtyr or whether endless hours
of minor history reading has made
the sight of books repellent is not
known but the fact remains that
the Rare Book Room is not receiv-
ing the attention that it deserves.
For this reason, the Rare Book
Committee, under the chairmanship
of Mr. Herben, has planned to
stimulate a true interest in thosé
objects in which many students feel
compelled to bury their noses at
regular intervals during their col-
lege careers. Plans are being for-
mulated for exhibitions of the his-
tory and evolution of the book and

dents’ libraries. It will be held af-
ter spring vacation’in order to give
everyone who is interested an op-

The exhibit will consist of
children’s classics, illustrated books
and old favorites.of every kind. In
order to-provide a guide for the
selection of contributions, the com-
mittee has suggested some authors
and illustrators whose works would
be mgst welcome. If you have
‘any books of Rackham, Howard
Pyle, Kate Greenaway, Cruikshank,
Maxfield Parrish, Dulac or Boutet
de Monvel, it is hoped that you
will lend them to the college for
the exhibit. These suggestions are
not intended to exclude any old
favorites but are provided for the
convenience of those who are not
sure where to begin. Look around
your book shelves when you Wre
home and see if you can’t find
something that you would like to
see lying in state in the Rare Book
Room. It is earnestly hoped that
there will be a great many con-
tributions and that many students
will be interested in helping to ar-
range the exhibit. If you have any
suggestions, contributions or ques-
tions, please see Susan Oulahan,

use. The blitz, however, has done
a tremendous clearance job. In
all, four and a half million homes
have been damaged, and another
half million razed beyond - repair.
The building trade has, therefore,
been expanded, ‘but it can only in-
crease the housing by 300,000 by
the second year after the war. The
engineering trade has been util-
ized in a temporary building pro-
gram, to construct a quarter of a
million houses in the two years
following the war. The problem
still is unsolved, since these “tin
can” houses last only ten years,
and are constructible by only two
firms who possess equipment for
them, which need conversion. The
houses are also very small and ex-
pensive.

Faculty Plan 6 Talks
On Selecting Majors
Commencing next Tuesday, Feb--
ruary 13, a series of six confer-
ences on Your Major, its Selection
and Your [Future willbe presented
by the Vocational Committee of the
Undergraduate Association. This
series was given last year with
great success, with talks by varied
members of each department.
The general purpose of the se-
ries is to assist students in choos-
ing their major and to explain
what kinds of work can be done in
the various fields after graduation.
It is hoped that those underclass-
men who have not. yet chosen their
majors will attend, as well.as Jun-
iors and Seniors interested in ca-
reers.
Of the six conferences, two will
concern the sciences, one the social
sciences, one the classics, one the
modern languages, and one the
humanities. They will take place
in the Common ‘Room at 4:30 in
February and early March. The
first, on February - 13, will deal
with Psychology, Mathematics and
Physics.
