Fairfield Osborn
Expands on Film

Of Conservation

“Is there any reason why we
Americans should assume and be
persuaded that we are better than
other people’? This was the op-
ening remark made by Mr. Fair-
field Osborn in his address enti-
tled Conservation and You giver
on Tuesday, October 23 at 8:30 in
Goodhart Music Room. “We actu-
ally have less right”, he answered,
because although we have estab-
lished our own social and cultural
ideas and are becoming Ameri-
cans, we have not, in the last sev-
eral generations, removed our-
selves from our Old World heri-
tage. In addition to the peoples
of the world, we are indebted to
the resources of our land which
virtually have created our econ-
omy and even institutions such as
Bryn Mawr.

Yours Is The Land, the movie
shown midway in Mr. Osborn’s ad-
dress depicted vividly the depend-
ence of every type of life, up to
and including man, on _ living
things on the earth. In the era of
the world’s creation, more than
adequate resources existed for the
animal life that followed, but man,
in his ascendency, has allowed
need, ignorance, and greed to de-
plete his land. It is true, science
is rapidly advancing the develop-
ment of conservation methods, but
only man can manage and phys-
ically control the nature of which
he is so great a part.

Mr. Osborn pointed out that be-
cause of this ignorance and greed,
countries exemplifying the epitome
of development such as Greece
and Rome, have fallen. The for-
mula is still the same for manag-
ing resources as it was in those

Thon Sets Oct. 24th
For Othello Tryouts

The Bryn Mawr College Theatre
will present Shakespeare’s Othello
in Goodhart Auditorium on No-
vember 30 and December 1. The
production will mark the first
Shakespearean play to be enacted
at Bryn Mawr since King Lear
in 1948.

The production staff includes
the following: stage manager,
Bobbie Lese; assistant stage man-
ager, Bev Singer; business man-
ager, Helen Dobbs; lights, Peasy
Laidlaw.

Mr. Frederick Thon, director,
has stated that he has a “talented
production crew”. He is sure that
the tryouts will bring the cast
which is needed. Tryouts were held
at Haverford last night and are
being conducted at Bryn Mawr
this evening. Even though Othello
includes only three female roles,
there is room for six to eight act-
resses as principals, understudies,

_ and clowns.

The play will be performed with
only one intermission. “There is
a difficult problem in presenting
an Elizabethan play within the
proscenium stage of Goodhart
Hall”, Mr. Thon said. “This pro-

duction must be different from the

Lear and must take advantage of
‘every staging possibility”.

The Haverford College Theatre-
in-the-Round group deserves hon-
est and spirited huzzas for the
excellent productions done Octo-
ber 18 and 19 at Roberts Hall,
Haverford. Not only were the
actors well cast and well versed,
but the choice of the three pieces
evidenced good theatre and good
taste.

Though it would seem that
only the actors themselves are of
any great importance in the per-
formance of a play, nevertheless
the reviewer would do well to look
away from the stage action for
a second, to watch the audience.
If they are restive and bored,
then what is going on behind the
footlights is rarely well done. lf,
on the other hand, they are at-
tentive and alert ,the players are
undoubtedly doing a good job.
This latter was definitely the case
for the Haverford productions,
and Eugene O’Neill’s play, “In
the Zone” provided excellent seri-
ous ballast. for the two lighter

F. Daniels Opens
Crenshaw Series

The James Liewellen Crenshaw
Lectures, named in memory of
Dr. Crenshaw, Professor of Phys-
ical Chemistry at Bryn Mawr for
twenty-five years, will open on
Monday, October 29th at 8:30 in
Goodhart Hall. The lectures, part
of a program of the Committee on
the Coordination of the Sciences,
have as their topic “Sources of
Energy”, chosen because of Dr.
Crenshaw’s interest in the rela-
tion of science to other human
affairs. The first lecture, “Man’s
Sources of Energy”, will be given
by Farrington Daniels, professor
of Physical Chemistry at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin. Author of
several textbooks, Mr. Daniels is
credited with writing the most
widely-used book in Physical
Chemistry, “Outlines of Physical
Chemistry”.

Besides his work as professor
and author, Mr. Daniels has had
experience in several other capa-
cities—from 1943 to 1944, he was
a member of the War Production

College To Vote
On NSA Changes

For Constitution

On Thursday, October 25th, the
college will vote on whether it
approves of the following consti-
tutional change concerning NSA:

That the Constitution be amend-
ed to provide for the election of
an NSA Coordinator who shall be
elected by an all-College vote
from the Junior and the Senior
classes, shall be in charge of NSA
activities on campus, shall sit on
Alliance and Undergrad Boards
and shall represent the College
at NSA conventions.

This proposal was drawn up by
the Undergrad Council so that the
responsibility of the NSA could
fall to one person who would be
effective because of her active
membership in student govern-
ment. If this proposal is passed
the candidates would be nominat-
ed by a joint Junior and Senior
Nominating Committee.

(Lecture,

Othello





In the program notes to “Two
Gentlemen of Soho”, the drama-
tist, A. P. Herbert remarks that
his masterful satiric comedy is “a
shameful attempt to uplift a mod-

ern theme by clothing it in Shake-,

spearean language. Some may
think the play wordy, but then
there are those brutes who think
Shakespeare wordy”. He neglects
to say, undoubtedly because it is
so obvious to the audience, that it
is also one of the most uproarious
take-offs on both modern mores
and Shakespeare to have walked
the planks of the theatre. And the
wordiness is in a large measure
responsible for the wittiness.

Freshmen Present
Plays Oct. 26 & 27

The freshmen have ten days to
choose, cast, and produce the hall
plays. The principal object of the
plays is fun, but they are also in-
tended to turn up directing and
acting talent for later productions.
There is only one rehearsal in
Skinner before the performance.
This year the upper classmen di-
rectors are to act mainly in an ad-
visory capacity. The plays will be
performed in Skinner Workshop
on two successive evenings. The
performance schedule is as fol-
lows: on Friday, October 26, Pem-
broke East will give The Man in
the Bowler Hat. The senior advisor

is Jane Norris. Merion, Joe; sen-
ior advisor, Gloria von Hebvel;

Dr. G. Wagoner
Outlines County
Defense Program

Dr. George Wagoner, head of
the civilian defense health services
of Montgomery County, spoke
about the over-all Civil Defense
program for this area, and ex-
plained especially the role that
Bryn Mawr College would play in
the event of an attack, as he open-
ed the modified nurses’ aide pro-
gram in the Common Room on Oc-
tober 22.

Civil defense, he emphasized,
‘is a pfotective mechanism, predi-
cated on the fear that an unan-
nounced attack will be made”. The
Philadelphia-New York area would
be exceptionally open to attack be-
cause of the large concentration of
manufacturing and population in a
relatively small area. Civil de-
fense would minimize human dan-
ger and lessen suffering, but would
| not be connected with the military
|except in saving manpower.

Dr. Wagoner briefly outlined
the organization from the co-or-
dinating commission set up by
act of Congress down through the
state governors to the local level,
| or, in Pennsylvania, the counties.
| Funds are being used discrimin
ately, and there is no bureaucracy,
and only a few paid positions,
mostly secretarial, he emphasized.

Last winter, an estimate was
made of the damage that would be
done by two atomic bombs drop-
ped nearby, one in the Frankford
area, and one at Sixty-third and
Market streets. In such a blast,
Lower Merion Township would
suffer three thousand of the es-
timated half million casualties,
and with the panic of fleeing peo-
ple and a lack of supplies and care
for the injured, chaos would exist.
An eight division Civilian Defense
organization has been plotted to
alleviate such a condition, and
take care of education, security,

Art Dept. Invites

Devotees To Tea

Especially contributed by
Lita Hahn, ’52

The Art Department has felt
that something should be done to
stimulate and organize the inter-
est in Art on campus. People
have expressed interest in a wide
variety of things: knowing about
art publications, shows in New
York, Washington, Baltimore, and
Philadelphia, exhibits that might
be brought to Bryn Mawr, the
Student Loan pictures, lectures on
how to buy prints, on furniture,
elementary classes in drawing,
discussions on art in general, and
the interest in the Studio of
which so few of us take advan-
tage. Because the Art Depart-
ment is aware of this interest and
wants to do its best to aid and
abet in any way it can, Dr.
‘Sloane, as chairman of the de-
partment, invites anyone and
everyone with any kind of interest
in Art to have tea and exchange
‘ideas Friday afternoon at 4:15 in
the Common Room, and hopes to
find out what Bryn Mawr would
like to do to channel its general
interest. in matters artistic.

Rescheduling Suggested
For Conflicting.
Activities

October 22,1951

To the Editor:

We feel that in the event of a
disaster the college should not be
obliged to evacuate a large num-
ber of useless students. For this
reason, it is imperative that as
many students as possible take,
if not the eighty-hour, at least the
sixteen-hour Nurse’s Aide course.

It is our observation that the
5 o’clock to 6 o’clock meetings of
extracurricular activities conflict
with these courses. We therefore
suggest that such extracurricular
activities be re-scheduled, since
we believe that many potentially
useful people are prevented from
taking the Nurse’s Aide course
only by their previous extradite |
ricular commitments. It is of
course evident that in event of an
emergency no extracurricular or-
ganization will be of the slightest!
importance.

Sincerely,
Mary Eugenia Chase, 52

ago they were offered to another
institution which has not as yet
claimed them. Until it does,

licly with permission from the
President’s Office.

Lastly, that we may be received
back into the marmoreal bosom
of our hall: Radnor was no less
gullible than the rest of the cam-
pus, but took a stauncher ethical
stand and wishes to be exonerated
from any complicity in the
matter.




Meal Exchange Plan

It is always a pleasant courtesy to be able to invite a
friend for dinner, whether at home or at college, and it is
natural to balk at the idea that this custom, at least at col-
lege, cannot be as casually taken for granted as previously.
The recent announcement that exchange meals must be care-
fully regulated has met with many questions as to why, this
year, such a careful check is necessary. The reason for the
more rigid policy is simply that each hall on campus is filled

to capacity, and there is no free place in any dining hall when

every student comes to dinner. Difficulty arises from the
fact that general campus spirit is lessened when one cannot
seé a friend from another hall, or discuss a student project
over lunch or dinner. There is also the rather frightening
possibility that with no free exchange for meals, the halls
may develop into seven sorority houses, each one only too
separate unto itself. There is a solution to prevent this dif-
ficulty, and if is here outlined to clarify former explanations:

1. Lunch, every day.

A. Even exchange. E.g. a student in Rock has a guest
from Rhoads and Rock sends a girl to Rhoads. There
is no charge for the meal; there is no signup on the
bulletin board.

Y No outside guests are allowed.
people not resident on campus.
II. Dinner, every day.

A. Even exchange, as defined above.

B. Substitution. E.g. Rock has a guest from Rhoads,
because a student from Rock is dining off campus.
There is no charge for this, but the small slips in the
dining room are signed under exchange, not under
guest. The girl inviting a guest must sign her own
name on the bulletin board before 2 p.m. opposite
the name of a girl signed out for dinner. If no one
is signed out for dinner, a guest may not come.

Outside guests are allowed, but there is a charge.
They must be signed for before 2 p.m. as described
above.

Points to remember.

“Outside guests” are

III.

A. For direct exchange at lunch, no signing of meal
slips on bulletin boards is needed.

For a direct exchange at dinner, no signing of mea!
slips:on bulletin-boards is needed.

For substitution at dinner, those going out to dinner
must so indicate by signing their names before two
o’clock, and those wishing to effect a substitution
must sign their own names and the number of guests
they are having to dinner.

. Those having outside guests for dinner must also
sign their own names and the number of guests they
are having to dinner.

There is a charge for outside guests, but for nobody
else.

To make this system work is entirely the responsibility
of the students of the college. Those people who sign out to
dinner must go out to dinner—they cannot change their
minds at the last minute. Students must very nearly form
a habit of signing “Out to Dinner” slips before two—i. e. im-
mediately after lunch. If this plan works out successfully,
then it is feasible that in the future lunch substitutions
might become practicable, and the old custom of having far-
ulty members to lunch could be revived. But success or fail-
ure rests entirely with the students of the college.

A plan such as this, though it may seem an unnecessary
und irksome bother, will not only avoid confusion for stu-
dents and managers, but will be good college economy as
well. Hall managers will know how many people to expect,
and the expensive process of preparing too much food in case
of unexpected guests will be unnecessary, so that food bills
may be considerably cut. Perhaps five people for dinner,
more or less, seems an inconsequential amount when com-
pared to.the huge supply of groceries the college must pur-
chase, but in more specific terms, food—and the cost—for a
family of five is no small amount. College economy is very
important, for aside from the fact that economy may on oc-
casion prevent a meal exchange, it is also necessary to econ-
omize so that room and board prices will not be increased.

Even functioning smoothly for the freest possible ex-
change of students for meals, this plan may need amendment
or improvement. The NEWS would be happy to publish any
and all signed letters and suggestions on the subject.

Douglas Kelley Explains
Technical Relief

Program

On Monday, October 22, at 7:15
p.m. in the Common Room, Doug-
las Kelley, former chairman of
SDA, delivered a talk on What
Point Four Means to You, describ-
ing the opportunities available for
taking part in the Technical As-
sistance Programs for under-de-
veloped areas of the world.

Mr, Kelley’s chief affiliation is
with the International Develop-
ment Association, whose main
objective is to organize, train,
and send teams to Africa and In-
dia to provide social and technical
aid for the inhabitants. The
workers will be trained to instruct
the population in methods of
fiscal policy, simple industry,
agriculture, public health, and ed-
ucation. Mr. Kelley stressed the
fact that these missionaries will
be closely associated with the
youth groups within the various
countries so as not to give the im-
pression of forcing foreign ways
upon them but rather of a desire
to help them improve their stan-
dards of living from within.

Applicants Rough It

The individuals who apply for
jobs with these groups are warn-
ed that they will be “roughing
it”—-will be living under the same
conditions and eating the same
kind of food as the villagers.
Some will receive a salary but
others will be serving only on a
voluntary basis.

Women are especially needed in
the International Development
Association’s program to show the
villagers the methods of nutrition,
childeare, sewing, sanitation, and
how to produce simple handicraft
articles which might possibly be
exported for re-sale in other parts
of the world.

Schools and courses are now
being established to instruct those
interested in the rudiments of
education and demonstration as
well as in social anthropology,
and the history and language of
the area to which they will be
sent,

The First, Second, and Third
‘Hockey Varsities played their
matches against Temple Univer-

great many physical education
majors and always has. strong
hockey teams. This year their
teams are strong as usual, and
they defeated all three Bryn
Mawr teams as a result.

The line-up was changed slight-

Bryn Mawr beat Beaver, and was
as follows in the Temple matches:

The First Team game was very

forward line was definitely su-

edly in the second half, but
Temple had an excellent goal

score against them was six goals,

enough in the circle. This was

“that Bryn Mawr might be any-
where, it is such a distinct world
in itself’. M. Gonnaud received
a more intense impression of New
York.

“It is like the successful reali-
zation of a new way of life: the
skyscrapers, the movement in the
streets, everything combines to
create a twentieth century city.
This is very stimulating, but it
must be difficult to escape from
the current to rest or think”.

“Of course the first thing that a
teacher from abroad notices about
an American college is the easy
relation between professor and
student. I had already discovered
a somewhat similar way of think-
ing in England, but I found that



Cloisters Witness
Lantern C eremony

With the sound of clanging
chains, rattling lanterns and the
hallowed words of “Pallas
Athene”, the cloisters of Bryn
Mawr officially welcomed another
freshman class. Green lanterns
burning brightly entered, solemn-
ly accompanied by the majestic
hymn to the Goddess of Wisdom.
Under the watchful eye of the
cloisters each freshman received
her lantern and thereby became a
recognized member, a real part of
Bryn ‘Mawr. The blue lanterns of
the lantern swingers changed to
red and the graceful strains of
“Sophias” filled the cloisters and
mounted to the sky. The fresh-
the newly pledged, filed
away into their future, and the



cloisters were commended _ to
silence for another year.
The Non-Reses take great

pleasure in the announcement
of the following elections:

Vice-President, Emmy
walader, °53.

Publicity Chairman, Cynthia
Wyeth, 754.

Athletic Association Repre-
sentative, Emmy Cadwalader,
"63.

Alliance Representative, Lid-
ia Wachsler, ’55.

Redecoration Chairman, Joan
Spector, °53.

Five I.C.G.Chapters
Sponsor Tea Oct. 31

The ICG chapters of five col-
leges will sponsor a tea in the
Common Room on October 31, at
4:30. Students and advisors from
Harcum, Rosemont, Beaver, and
Chestnut Hill, as well as those
from Bryn Mawr, will participate.

The purpose of the tea is the
stimulation of interest in the in-
tercollegiate conference that will
be held in Harrisburg next
spring. An effort will be made
to strengthen the regional repre-
sentation. “

Committees of Bryn Mawr stu-
dents have been named to help
with the preparations of the tea.
The welcoming committee, in
charge of name tags and regis-
tration, is as follows:

Kay Sherman, Chairman; Phyll
Stephen, Carrie Richmond, Liz
Degendorf, Julie Heimowitz, Kit-
ty Beck, Duch Walton, Jo Case.

Responsible for food are: Sue
Zorn, Chairman; Jan Grimming-
er, Leslie Kaplan, Mary Jane
Chubbuck, Charlotte Drabkin, Bo
Zabko, Edie Shwab, Lynn Kil-
bourne.

Cad-









in France the students are .so ac-
customed to the professor’s keep-
ing a dignified distance, that they.
do not easily welcome another at-
titude in a professor’.

‘Bryn Mawr students strike M.
Gonnaud as being very wide
awake.

“The system of extra-curricular
activities may divert too much of
the student’s energy from her
work, but it tends to make her
more alert at an age when she is
naturally rather self-centered. In
France we err in the other direc-
tion. The French university stu-
dent is completely alone, and must
inevitably take himself very ser-
iously.

“Young people need to be pro-
tected against some of the force of
their own mistakes, and this is one
of the purposes college fulfills.

“In France right after the wara
large number of very young peo-
ple were faced with the problems
of adults, and experienced a mo-
ment of bewilderment, which
showed their need”,

Perhaps at present, M. Gonnaud
agreed, Americans welcome for-
eigners more easily into their
hearts than the older traditional-
ist French families, but, he added,
the young people of France, who
since the war have travelled to
every neighboring country, are
rapidly breaking down the old bar-
riers.

Monsieur Gonnaud says he likes
to see people having as much fun
as they do here at school. He is
cordially invited to take part in
our fun.

LAST NIGHTERS

Don’t Bet on ‘Number’,
New Melodrama

At Walnut

Especially contributed by
Margie Cohn Blum, 52

A far-from-SRO crowd witness-
ed “a new melodrama by Arthur
Carter” at the Walnut. The sim-
ple title of said dramatic work is
The Number, and concerns _it-
self (if not the audience) with the
prevalent numbers and_ betting
profession and its consequences.

The |plot, in brief, involves an
affair between one of the switch-
board girls in a betting establish-
ment, and a bookie. This charm-
ing relationship is imperiled since
Maury, the boss of the central em-
ployment agency, forbids such go-
ings on because he is afraid that
his girls might turn him into: a
one-way cash register.

Sylvia (Lydia Reed), the wom.
an in question, has an estranged
husband and a daughter, who
serve the plot by making the al-
ready unpopular relationship even
more so. Also figuring in the odds
against Sylvia are her parents
who like their son-in-law, and
don’t want their daughter’s life
ruined by the gambler, Dominick
Spizzilini (Dane Clark). These
parents seem to be the prototypes
of the Goldbergs of radio fame,
and as such carry their parts well.

The dialogue is more trite than
somewhat, and if one were to

blink one’s eye, one might imagine| ;

oneself confronted with a mid-
afternoon soap opera, minus the
commercial and station break. No
deep emotion is aroused by either
the situation, the conversation, or
the acting except in a very few
instances, as when “Mama Gold-
berg” finds out what has happened
to her daughter, or when the
daughter herself realizes her mis-
take.

The climax of this gripping
drama occurs when Alice, another
switchboard girl, reveals that Spiz-
zilini has gone through the same
routine with her the previous year,
enabling Sylvia to realize that her
lover is just using her for his own
purposes.

Despite the fact that the major-
ity of the acting is mediocre, there
are a few good character parts
which compensate a bit for the
other dubious features. Murvyn
Vye gives a very fine interpreta-
tion of the strong-arm boss, Mau-
ry, who delights in frightening

Service Unit Aids

State Institution

Especially contributed by
Jane Tucker Marks, ’52

The Four College Institutional
Service Unit with members drawn
from students of Swarthmore,
Haverford, Bryn Mawr, and Che-
ney State Teachers College has
completed its fourth successful
summer at Norristown State Hos-
pital.

‘The American Friends Service
Committee initiated the Institu-
tional Service Unit program in
1943 as an alternative to military
service for approximately two
thousand conscientious objectors.
After the war, various institutions
such as this group of four colleges
took up where the A.F.S.C. left
off and organized their own units.

The purposes of the ISU are to
provide service to state institu-
tions, to educate unit members for
responsible citizenship in their
own communities, and to increase
understanding between such in-
stitutions and the public.

The work at the hospital con-
sisted of the duties of a regular
attendant, the specific work vary-
ing with the particular ward. Unit
members were spread over almost
every type of ward in the hospi-
tal, although several often work-
ed in the same building.

Unit members lived in two

lege and commuted to the hospi-
tal. One of the great advantages
of working as a unit was the kind
of group life it provided. The unit
gave both relief from the work on
the wards and mutual help and
moral support through discussion
of ward problems. The group as
a whole organized activities such
as swimming parties, baseball, and
square dances,

The hospital administration has
been very receptive to units. Once
again members were allowed the
special privileges of attending
staff meetings where individual
patients were interviewed, dis-
cussed, and diagnosed, and of read-
ing the case histories of patients
on their own wards. The hospital
provided a series of lectures on
the basics of abnormal psychology

Non-Reses Enlarge Acquaintanceships
At Rhoads Tea & Lantern Night Party

by Emmy Cadwalader, °53

This last week has been a very
social one for the non-resident
students. On nday, October 15,
the non-res warden, Miss Mott,
who is also the warden of Rhoads
South, gave a tea for the group
in the Rhoads showcase. It was
an excellent and much _ needed
party, because it made it possible
for all the students to get to-
gether and know one another, It
has always been difficult in the
past for the non-res students to
function as a group, due to the
fact that they are never all
around at the same time. This
year, thanks to a good start at
this party, it is hoped that they
will be able to work together
more often, as the enthusiasm is
definitely there.

Mrs. Paul also came, and after
the discussion of many old prob-
lems that have always hindered
the group, many worth while so-
lutions were offered. It was also
decided to redecorate the non-res
room, which is in the basement of

|the library and is very much in

)



need of fresh paint, curtains, more
furniture that is comfortable, and
a little bit of gaiety here and
there. Color schemes and ideas
sprang up from all over the room,
and during the winter the whole
group is going to work on the
overhauling.

On Lantern Night the Non-res’s
gave a party themselves for the
freshmen. Many brought their
parents and dates, and the com-
mon room was transformed into
a gay crowd of people drinking
cider and, munching doughnuts.
After a happy’ interlude from the
college routine, everyone hurried
off to cram just a little more for
the French Oral the next morn-
ing.

Non-res parties are always
amusing and entertaining, be-
cause the group is made up of
so many different types. Some
are married, while others have
part-time jobs. If you haven’t
the time to take the marriage lec-
tures, any married non-res can tell
you how to cook a pea, and some
can even give you needed point-
ers on how to bring up baby.

Roger Euster, as Withers, cre-
ated a perfect caricature of the
arteestic writer, but found his
aspirations of matrimony with
Laetitia (Danny Luzzato) frus-

trated by the decadent young
lady’s righteous concern over the
Dutchess’ unseemly conduct. After
heartrending self reproaches for
not having warned the Duchess,
who is her mother, about the evils
of the naked world, Laetitia verb- |
ally solves her problem quite
simply: “But take my mother to
a nunnery”.

‘A private detective employed, |

resulted in his being unceremon-

the bar maid, promptly revealed
her geneology by emotionlessly
commenting “Oh sir, you’ve killed
my father,” and with equal cas-
ualness fell dead upon the flat-
foot’s lifeless body.

Like a chain of dominoes, the
remaining characters one by one
delivered appropriately verbose
commentaries on their dying
states, staggered and fell, only to!
rise again and add postscriptive
evitaphs. This exaggeratedly anti-
climactic scene, which concluded
the “Two Gentlemen of Soho”, was
climatic in its varied styles of ex-
piring and general excellence.

Congratulations to the director,
Wayne C. Booth, and his assistant,
Frederic C. Jameson, for their

to the dramatis personae for their

highly hilarious production.

year’s Bryn Mawr contribution to

welcome on the scene. Also notice-
ably good is Anatole ‘Winogradoff

and another employee of Maury.
This little man, afraid of his boss,
and wishing to protect his niece,
captivates the audience with his
rapid speech and comical manner.
Dane Clark is good, but not out-

The only moral one can derive
from this production is that crime,
after all, does pay. Maury was not
punished for his gambling activi-

chastised for her illicit love affair,
and, probably only ‘because some-

was shot in the last act. Don’t bet

the players have more time to get
used to each other, they will be
able to develop more team-work,
but so far they have been switch-
ed around too much, as is always
true at the beginning of a season.

In the Second Team game
Temple was not outstanding.
Both teams were evenly matched,
and it was again the lack of rush-
ing on the part of the forwards

|that the Bryn Mawr team didn’t

do better. The forwards played
well in the field, and there were
quite a number of good triangle
passes and_.other examples of
teamwork. Actually Bryn Mawr
out-played Temple, and only lost
by a score of 3-2, when Temple
scored a goal late in the game.
The two Bryn Mawr goals were
scored by Muir and Tilson. As in
the first team game, the backs
played excellently, with many
amazing saves on the part of the
goal keeper. -
Temple’ definitely outplayed
Bryn Mawr in the Third Team
game, winning by the score of
5-0, but the hockey on the whole
was not good on the part of either
team. Bryn Mawr played hard,
but Temple was faster and quick-
er. One cannot judge the Bryn
Mawr team harshly as very few
of the players had ever played to-
gether. A number of girls who
should have played were taken
away by the geology field trip

had a definite disadvantage, and

During the afternoon tea on the

certain hall president, who shall

mothers and fathers. Because
there are several new wardens
this year, she did not recognize
the warden of French House when
she came in. The hall president
hailed her:

“Are you a mother?” she asked.

“No”, answered the warden,
“Ann Silvestre de Ferron.”

“Well, it doesn’t make any dif-

pieces. The story of men on a
British ship of war in 1915, “In
the Zone” is the uncomfortably
accurate, picture of men at sea
and at perilous odds with one of
their mates, whom they suspect
as a spy. Joseph H, Stein, in the
role of Smitty, the drunkard, for-
saken by his love and pitifully
hiding a packet of her letters—
not a bomb—from his mates, was
convincing and pathetic in a dif-
ficult part. Eric Blanchard was
well-cast as Driscoll, the impetu-
ous “young one” unhappy to be
aboard a ship at all, particularly
if one of his comrades proved to
be a German spy. He was fine as
the tense boy still very young in
a grown up situation. Professor
Kenneth Woodroofe of the Haver-
ford faculty, supplied wonderful
comedy relief as the outraged
lummox who manages to get him-
self kicked in a skirmish with
‘Smitty. His timing and de-
livery were as good as his com-
edy. As Scotty, Robert Matte-
son was natural and at ease as he
intently peered out at Smitty who
was apparently standing in the
‘audience (and therefore was
three inches away!) This takes
poise and ability, and Scotty had
both, The action throughout was
not only well sustained, but full
of genuine edge-of-the-seat kind
of suspense that can only come
when a serious performance is
completely away from the melo-
‘dramatic or hammy, and these
were serious performances. Had
they been overdone, or poorly
‘acted, the close proximity that is
the essence of Theatre-in-the-
Round would have made it ten
times worse. John Allen, as
‘Swanson, and Philip Howorth as
Ivan, were somehow perfectly
right for their roles—perhaps be-
cause they woke up, dragged
themselves out, and ate breakfast
realistically, and with almost no
props, a task not as easy as it
might seem. Richard Lingeman
was terse and decisive as Jack,
the sailor enough removed from
the situation to be able to-debunk
‘the suspicions of the men, yet ap-
prehensive enough to help trap
‘Smitty.

In a group of polished and
forceful performances, David C.
MacTye was outstanding in the
‘difficult and all essential role of
Davis, the brutally probing insti-
gator of the ruthless examination
of Smitty’s personal life. The
overall smoothness and excellent
pace of “In the Zone” are much
to his credit, éspecially because
he so clearly set the pace at the
beginning.

The dialect deserves special
mention—from Ivan’s hard Slavic
to Scotty’s burr, it was easy and
believable, for the words were in-
flected as well as pronounced,

|. Becker Speaks
For German Club

At the first joint meeting of the
Bryn Mawr and Haverford Ger-
man Clubs, Tuesday evening, Oc-
tober 16, Virginia Reese, presi-
dent, outlined the program for
the coming year and introduced
Ingrid Becker, a graduate stu-
dent, who discussed student life
in Germany and America. Having
been in America only three weeks,
Miss Becker said her statements
about student life here were
mostly impressions, and devoted
the main part of her discussion to
life in Germany.

The first great difference be-
tween students of the two coun-
tries is that in Germany the stu-
dent enters a university with the
equivalent of an A.B. There is no
distinction between graduate and
undergraduate schools. Every stu-
dent entering a university has
matriculated from a Gymnasium,
where he has studied eight or
nine years. As a result, the av-
erage age of those entering the
university is nineteen years. This,
along with a more thorough edu-
cation, makes the university stu-
dent more decided in his course of
study than a college student here.

Friendliness Impressive

One of the characteristics of
college life in America with which
Miss Becker was greatly impress-
ed, was the friendliness that ex-
ists between student and profes-
sor. In Germany, when a sem-
inary discussion is called for, “the
Professors are held in such great
awe, that no one dares to dis-
cuss”, The gap between students
and professors is something
which modern Germany is trying
to overcome.

Most striking of all, is the
contrast between facilities for
students in America and those in
Germany. There are no women’s
colleges and only one or two res-
ident halls for girls at a German
university. As a result students
live in “digs”, or rented rooms,
without benefit of dormitory life.
The situation for men is slightly
better. They have ‘Verbindungen’,
or student organizations which
house students and provide places
for them to relax. These Verbin-
dungen are similar to American
fraternities, and were formerly
only for the rich, but since the
war, most of the students have
found themselves unable to live
on such. a high plane.

The problem for students now
is to get money to build dormi-
tories and student unions where
there .are facilities for social life.
A few club houses have been do.
nated to Berlin University by
American soldiers, and_ these
have been appreciated beyond
measure.

Miss Becker’s discussion with
the Geiman Club constituted the
first rrogram of the year, Plans
for the coming months inclv.ie a
lecture in the Common Room by



Dr. Kohn to Talk
About UN Oct. 24

‘Hans Kohn, Professor of His-
tory at the City College of New
York, will speak on the subject
“A UN Balance Sheet, 1946-1951”
at the Haverford College Union on
United Nations day, October 24,
at 7:45. He will visit the campus
as guest of the Public Affairs As-
sociation.

Professor Kohn, who received his
degree of Doctor of Laws from
the German University in Prague,
witnessed conditions during the
Russian revolution firsthand as a
prisoner of war. After years in
Europe and the Middle East, he
came to America in 1981 as lectur-
er for the New School for Social
Research in New York. Since then
he has taught history and interna-
tional relations at Harvard, Yale,
the Universities of California and
Colorado, Radcliffe, and Mount
Holyoke.

He is the author of eighteen
books, of which the_last’ three,
“The Idea of Nationalism”, “Force
or Reason”, and “The Twentieth
Century”, are particularly out-
standing.

Student Concerts

To Start Nov. 11

The Bryn Mawr College Music
Club is again planning a series of
concerts for faculty, students, and
friends of the college. The first
concert of the season will be held
in the Gertrude Ely Room of
Wyndham on Sunday, November
11, at five p. m., when Jack Maxin,
a young pianist, will give a recit-
al.

Since the Club has no provision

method of ticket sale would in-
volve an entertainment tax, tic-
kets are sold on a series subscrip-
tion basis, for five dollars. How-
ever, members can bring guests
for single concerts’ by paying a
dollar. In-past years there have
been five concerts a season, though
only the first concert can be plan-
ned before the subscriptions have
been sold; eighty-five members are
needed if the club is to present
five concerts and remain solvent.

The musicians presented by the
club are usually advanced stu-
dents from the Curtis Institute,
though last year the Gotham Brass
Ensemble of New York played in
the Deanery, and in the previous
year a group from the Contempor-
ary Music Center presented a pro-
gram of modern compositions.
There are not only individual art-
ists, but also chamber groups ev-
ery season, and music of various
periods is played.

Those who are interested in ob-
taining a membership can send
checks payable to the Bryn Mawr

beck’s The Grapes of Wrath, the
first in a series of four outstand-
ing movies to be shown on campus
this year. The movie, despite sev-
eral interruptions, was an arrest-
ing portrayal of a family of Okla-
homa farmers, the Joads. Driven
from their farms by the encroach-
ing Machine Age, this indomitable
family refused to admit defeat and
sought work and security in Cal-
ifornia. The trip across country
in an ancient and overcrowded au-
tomobile was an “Odyssey of hope
and courage coupled with struggle
against terrifying persecution”.

The film presentation of Stein-
beck’s significant social novel was
artistic and very moving. It was
an excellent choice for the Film
Forum to offer as their first pro-
duction.

L. Bellis Upbraids
Philadelphia Gov't

Attorney Isadore Bellis address-
ed the Students for Democratic
Action meeting Monday night, on
the subject of Philadelphia gov-
ernment and politics, especially in
regard to the Democratic party’s
role in the coming election. He
cited the Republican reign in
Philadelphia for the past sixty-
three years as a period of com-
plete corruption in city govern-
ment and praised the work of
Richardson Dilworth and Joseph
S. Clark in strengthening the
Democratic party and offering a
more liberal, progressive govern-
ment in place of the old-line Re-
puiblican regime.

The speaker explained that the
Democrats campaigned for the
new city charter, which co-ordin-
ates the city and county of Phila-
delphia, that will go into effect
January 1, 1952. He declared
that only one Democrat did not
campaign for that charter, which
found no support among the Re-
publicans. The Republicans ob-
jected to the new charter because
it meant a decrease in patron-
age ,and “it meant that a premium
would be placed on good govern-
ment, instead of excessive ex-
penditure.”’ Mr. Bellis stated that
the Republican city and county
government exceeds the necessary
expenditures by $13,000,000 a
year.

In briefly outlining the history
of the growth of the Democratic
party in the past four years, the
lawyer spoke of the overwhelm-
ing victory for that party’s ticket
in 1949, In that year, the Demo-
crats won by 12,000 votes.

He discussed the outrageous po-
litical conditions in the “racket-

Library Features

Religious Pictures
by Ellen Bell, 53

Religious prints from the col-
lection in the George Binet Gal-
lery are being shown and sold on
the second floor of the library
from October 18 to November 14.

The modern artistic approach to
religion has been most successful-
ly employed and compares favor-
ably with the etchings by Rem-
brandt Van Rijn of the 17th cen-
tury, also on display. An example
of the modern prints is an etching
and aquatint by Rouault called
“Longtemps encore l’aveugle sera
guide par le Paralitique”. This is
of two figures which seem captur-
ed for eternity in their expressions
of mutual anguish. The heavy
black with which they are lined
makes the shapes similar to those
in stained glass windows.

The Mayan Madonna by Jean
Charlot is, contrastingly, very
peaceful. There is a great gentle-
ness, especially in the curve of the
hand which holds the baby’s head
against the Madonna’s shoulder.
It is simply drawn and, as the title
suggests, the features of the Ma-
donna and child have a primitive
oriental quality about them. The
shading is im long fine lines of vio-
let and yellow-black.

As the Mayan Madonna is influ-
enced by Central America, so
Christ Bearing the Cross by Bou-
leau is influenced by Paris. The
Eiffel tower is shown in the back-
ground, Christ is escorted by two
“agents”, and the windows of the
building are framed by narrow
long shutters. In this city scene,
portrayed almost entirely in red
brick, Christ is highlighted in
white, and thick black outlines are
used, similar to those in the Rou-
ault.

Saint Francis by Fritzi Brod is
very precise and design-like. He is



shown between two trees and the
whole is done in chartreuse, brown-
purple, and blue. The Last Day
Christ by Peter Lipman-Wulf is
etched in green-grey. The gigantic
face looks.down-on. the small-help-
less people sheltered by his large
hands. There is much use of three-
dimensional rectangular shapes,
of the texture of smooth stone
blocks. The bust of Christ looks
like a great cliff on top of which
is a jagged covering of thorns.

In all these pictures we see re-
ligion portrayed with power and
individualism. They are pictures
worth seeing.

In conclusion, the speaker said

F. Osborn Emphasizes

Need for Conservation
Continued from Page 1
times; and present problems of
growth and productivity of re-
sources parallel those in man’s
past ‘history.

Increasing population in itself
is a primary cause and major
problem of conversion needs. In
1691, the world housed 500 million
people; the populace has increas-
ed to 2,200,000,000 and will prob-
ably reach 3 million at the cen
tury’s end. A fact adjacent to this
is that 2 acres of land only are
available per person throughout
the world. These two facts com-
bined offer proof, denuded of any
misconception, that the land must
be saved. The constant decline of
the world’s forests is only one ex-
ample to be considered . The bal-
ance, now being striven for, can-
not be reached until continuity of
production and use have been
reached. Four million owners hold
the small wood lots of our nation
and not until they realize the over-
all scope of the problem can repro-
duction function successfully.
When three trees are no longer
removed for every two replaced,
the point of balance will be ap-
proximately reached.

Education of the world for the
task of re-developing its resources
is the immediate step that should
be taken. Because six out of ten
people live in cities, there is a vast
unconsciousness of any problem at
all! For this reason community in-
terest is of vital significance. Mr.
Osborn voiced his opinion that
schools such as Bryn Mawr should
advocate conservation courses; for
a cultured mind has a_ working
knowledge of the entire problem.

Mr. Osborn applauded the work
of the Federal Government in its
conservation programs, but added
that due to the number of branch-
es entailed, there tends to be con-
fusion that could be avoided by a
National Reserve conservation pol-
icy which would oversee it all.

Only when we pause to consider
our world’s bountiful possibilities
can we realize how impossible it
would be to exist should the pres-
ent decline of resources be allow-
ed to continue.

(Mr. Osborn is a graduate of
Princeton and Cambridge univer-
sities and is, at present, President
of the New York Zoological Soci-
ety. {n 1948, he not only had
published his well known book
Our Plundered Planet but also
founded the Conservation Found-
ation.

utilities, medi-
cine, technical de-
fense (unexploded bombs and ra-
diation), and auxiliary services.
Dr. Wagoner heads the medica!
division for the county, and
charged with the task of finding
space that could be converted into
hospitals with trained personnel
to supplement today’s woefully in-
adequate facilities and staffs. He

concentrated on the plans for dis-
trict one of the county, with the
Bryn Mawr hospital as the center,
and neighboring schools utilized
in an effort to have the requirec
5000 beds, where only 330 exist to-
day. All private patients in the
hospital would be evacuated te
the grammar school across the
street, with the exception of those
in the maternity ward. The hospi-
tal would be expanded to 1200 beds
for the most serious surgical cases,
and 2500 others for burns and
fractures, in no way minor Cases,
would be placed in the college. All
the college facilities would be com-
mandeered, the students who were
serving no practical purpose would
be evacuated home, and the others
would be lodged in other schools in
the vicinity. Haverford College
would provide the space for the
extra 1000-1200 beds that are
needed.

The schools and colleges of the
area would also be looked to for
the answer to the manpower prob-
lem. Eight mobile first aid units,
completely motorized and consist-
ing of ‘200 people eath, would be
available for service throughout
the country, and other students
may take the streamlined first aid
course that will enable them to
take care of themselves and oth-
ers.

It has been possible to cut down
the time necessary for the course
by excluding a great amount of
material which would be unneces-
sary in an emergency. “Bed”, as
he used the word, meant merely a
six by three floor area, Dr. Wag-
oner said, and added that the usual
hospital amenities would be total-
ly lacking.

The modified course will consist
of ten lectures for each division,
and six demonstration periods. The
teachers will be members of the
Bryn Mawr Hospital school of
nursing staff, and will speak on
the treatment of shock, cuts and

communications,

cent will be deducted from a ‘stu-

The regular nursing staff of a
bombed area would be too fatigued
to be of any use after the first
thirty-six hours, Dr. Wagoner
said, and we would be most inhu-

of his personal expressionism, and
are pleasant indeed.

Ranging from $2.50 to $20 (sold:
one painting at $125!) the collection
of still lifes are for sale to col-
iege students until Saturday. The
group is one of well-used color, in-
teresting model arrangement, and
a generally agreeable harmony.

Mr. Ott’s sense of humor is
manifested in a tiny notation at
the bottom of a painting in the
corner of a room. ‘A small piece



of paper reads: “This painting is
for sale”. Then follows a list ot
expenses: materials, 50c; flowers,
75¢c; time (minimum wage), $1.50;
emotional output, $5.00; training
(5 yrs.), 25c; experience, 63c;
framing, $3.25. The total is $12.38
and next to the word “price”, the
artist has drawn a large question
mark!

Those who would like the paint-

ings are urged to see Beth Harrer
