Philip Jessup Describes Present Difficulties
And Possible Developments i in United Nations
Question of Amending
Charter Arises
In U. N.
“To speak of defects and de-
velopments in the U.N. is to imply
change,” said Mr. Philip Jessup,
speaking in Goodhart Friday. The
Ambassador-at-Large, first guest
of the Alliance for the year 1953-
54, lectured on the topic “Defects
and Developments in the U.N.”
In considering change, however,
it is important to avoid seeking
change simply for itself, regard-
less of merits. Impatience is the
enenay of change.
Mr. Jessup described two schools
of thought on the question of
change in the U.N. There are
those who would give it up because
it is not perfect, and those who
would abandon it because it does
too much.
The solution to the first problem
lies in amending the Charter. The
Charter itself provided for a con-
ference to be held within the first
ten years of the existence of the
international - body, to discuss
needed alterations.
There is, Mr. Jessup: pointed out,
the question of the reality of the
project. All. permanent members
of the Security Council, which in-
cludes: the United States and Rus-
sia,.must agree to any change.
In answer to the second type of
criticism, Mr. Jessup explained
some: of the mechanics of the
United Nations organization.
Fixing the agenda of the Gen-
eral Assembly, which Walter Lipp-
mann has called “the town meeting
of the world,” is accomplished by
considering a number of factors.
Matters should never be discussed
which cannot be settled by the
United Nations. Overt acts are
under. its jurisdiction, but should
not be introduced “unless ordinary
diplomacy has been exhausted.”
Because it is necessary to decide
when that state has been reached,

Authority on Gallic
Literature to Talk
Monsieur Henri Peyre, Sterling
Professor of French at Yale, will
speak in Goodhart at 8:30 on Wed-
nesday, November 11. His topic
will be “La Situation Litteraire en
France, Aujourd ’hui.” The lecture
will be. given in French.
Monsieur Peyre was Professor
of French Litertature at Bryn
Mawr from 1925 to 1928. During
the next ten years he taught at
Yale and the University of Cairo.
He returned to Yale in 1938, and
in 1939 became Chairman of the
French Department, a position he
has held since.
Monsieur Peyre revisited Bryn

shortly publish a book of these
lectures, to add to the numerous
books he has already written on!

Ministers Speak
On Many Faiths
A highlight of the two-day Con-
ference to which the Chapel Com-
mittee invited ministers of various
faiths was the tea held in the
Common Room on Thursday. There
each of four ministers, and Dr.
Geddes MacGregor of the Philoso-
phy Department, obliged with
short talks on topics which they
felt to be of particular importance.
Dr MacGregor spoke’ on the
meaning of tolerance in religion.
He said that the best advice which
had ever been given him had been
that of a clergyman who urged
him always to be sincere with him-
self. In connection with this, Dr.
MacGregor noted that two really
deeply religious, thoroughly con-
vinced people of: different faiths
are more apt to understand each
other than two of the same faith
who are not firmly convinced.

in dealing with a superficially re-

fesses to be of one’s own faith.

Bucher To Lecture
Campus Welcomes
Its Miss A pplebee
by Maryellen Fullam, ’56
Miss Applebee has returnéd to
Bryn Mawr for the hockey season
after an absence of two years. She
and the sport are almost synono-
mous in America, since she intro-
duced hockey to America. Com-
fortably ensconced in the Dorothy
Vernon Room of the Deanery, as
much a part of Bryn Mawr as
that venerable building itself,
Miss Applebee related the story of
hockey in the United States.
It ail began in 1901, when she
was studying at the Harvard Sum-
mer School. She was primarily in-
terested in the American public
health program, and _particu-
larly concerned with hockey at the
time. However, a fellow student,
Miss Ballantine of Vassar, asked
her to demonstrate the game which
was such a_ popular woman’s
sport in England, and she did so.
The first hockey game played in
America was an unique one. Re-
cruiting a number of untrained
Harvard students, and procuring a
few shinny sticks from the athletic

States’ backing, the first woman
president of the United Nations

career has played a prominent part
in India’s recent history.
Madame Pandit’s brother, Prime

Humeston Urges
‘Planning Of Time
Last Wednesday, Friday, and
Monday afternoons found a group
of Freshmen clustered in the Com-
moén Room listening attentively to
Dr. Elizabeth Humeston and Miss
Catherine Fales discuss how Fresh-
men should regulate their lives at
Bryn Mawr College.
Dr. Humeston began the discus-
sions by listing the medical fac-
tors which must be considered by
each member of the Class of 1957
—proper food, sleep, exercise, and
clothing.
The definition of proper food in-
cludes three well-balanced meals

In regard to the question of

woman minister to the British-su-
pervised Congress of provincial
government in 1937 and in 1952
was overwhelmingly elected to
Parliament when she returned to
india from the United Nations.
Born in 1900, Madame Pandit
grew up in the pro-British society
that she and her brother fought
for 27 years. Although she could
write English at the age of 5, she
did not learn to speak Hindu until
she was 9. As a result of joining
Mahatma Ghandi’s_ non-violence
rebellion and for “civil disobedi-
ence”, Madame Pandit has been
jailed 3 times. She was married
to Panjit Pandit, a lawyer and
Sanskrit scholar, who died in 1944
from the ill effects of a 10-year
prison sentence for his political ac-
tivities. She has raised three
daughters.
Like her brother, the Prime Min
ister, Madame Pandit is, at times,
inclined to see the Soviet point of
view. However, lately she has be-
come increasingly critical of Rus
sia and Red China. Now she main-
tains personal neutrality as is the
custom of the President of the
Genera] Assembly. She states her
purpose as an effort to make the
United Nations as successful as
possible.

Time and The Delusion
Bryn Mawr students are known far and wide for their
“individuality”. What is not so widely disseminated is the
fact that they are, almost to a woman, buried in the Ivory
Tower. This is perhaps a startling indictment, but unfortun-
ately, it is a true one.
Having chosen truth, and the field through which to seek
it, the student retires into intellectual hibernation with her
books, emerging periodically for a session of relaxation in
fhe form of bridge, argyles, or college weekends. Meanwhile,
noted lecturers come and noted lecturers go. The world’s
greatest musicians appear on local stages. Our student paus-
es from her labors to eye the calendar, and mutters “If I only
had time. ..”, and returns to her temes.
This may be a somewhat exaggerated picture, but the
point is clear: the average undergraduate is in danger of be-
coming an extremely one-sided person. The aim of a liberal
arts education is to produce a scholar who is also well round-
‘ed, with a wide variety of interests. That is why the admin-
istration ‘and student organizations of Bryn Mawr exert the
effort to procure nationally and internationally famous guests
who offer the students the benefit of their knowledge and
experience. Hardly a week goes by that the Alliance bulletin
board does not announce some conference in this vicinity on
important questions. Every opportunity is given the student
to keep abreast of the times, through lectures, conferences,
and publications.
The record of response is poor. No one from Bryn Mawr
attended the Herald Tribune Forum under Allliance auspices.
In other colleges, students fought over the limited num-
ber of tickets. Visiting lecturers often face an embarrass-
ingly small audience. The periodical room in the library is
deserted most of the time. In answer to a professor’s query
into the number of students in her large class who daily read
_@ newspaper, a scant few hands were raised. The student
_is appallingly unaware of the current scene.
_ Already from six hundred throats the cry arises, “We
-haven’t time.” This has become an escape mechanism.” Or-
iginating in the mouths of the few who are really pressed for
time, due to a heavy extracurricular schedule, the chant has
been taken up by the masses, who use it to rationalize every-
thing from an unwanted date to a late paper. e

Another Shaw Comedy
Shows Hedgerow |
Talent
by Evelyn de Baryshe, '56
The Hedgerow Theatre present-
ed Shaw’s “Arms and the Man” in
the Academy of Music Foyer, Tues
day, November 4.
The comedy, the plot of which
turns on the difference between the
Bulgarian and Swiss tempera-
ments, two love triangles and a
discussion of ;heroes and heroics
was rip-roaring fun. Shaw’s soap.
box in this play is a small one:
that blind courage is not the equal
of effective common sense in life
Yet when Shaw climbs down from
nis small-scale podium he leaves
us uncertain as to just whose side
ne was on,
The acting was varied, but, in
general, good. Ronald Bishop, as
Major Petkoff, was delightful. He
handled the role of the genial,
bumbling father with expertness
and a warm understanding which
only occasionally lapsed into coy-
ness. Michael ‘Kahn as Major Sar-
anoff, a man of courage and prin-
ciple but debatable judgment, was
a handsome ham of a pleasing
sort. Before an audience of high-
school girls he snorted and roared
er.
Dimensional Failure
Captain Bluntschli, whose moti-
titude was realistic, was neatly
played by Joseph Gistirak. His
performance, due partially to the
unevenness of the play, improved
in the seeend and third acts. The
female lead, Irma Hurkey, who
played Raina Petkoff, was hamper-
ed by Shaw’s inability to portray
a three dimensional woman’s char-
acter, but nonetheless she over-
played and her gestures were un-
finished.
Helen Alexander, as_ Raina’s
mother, was excellent, and Patricia
Platt, as Louka, the serving-girl,
performed with convincing fire
which fell into rambunctiousness
only when Shaw made her role as
mouthpiece too evident. Allen Cut-
ler, as ‘Nikola, another servant,
handled a role fraught with sim-
ilar difficulties to better effect.
The show was successful enter-
tainment, despite defects in acting,
partly because the experienced old-
er players held it together and
partly because of the ease and fa-
miliarity among the actors which
one feels is due to their status as
members of a continuous repertory
company.
The BMC League
Shows “Quiet One”
by Donnie MacNab Brown, ’57
THE QUIET ONE, an effective
movie of a Negro slum child, was
given in the Common Room at
8:30 on the evening of November
3. This presented a social prob-
lem and is the second of a series
given by the League. It is in-
tended to educate so that the con-
ditions in question may be under-
stood and overcome by work.
The movie dramatizes the cru-
cial period in the life of Donald,
a Negro boy. He is a product of
the slums, shunned and unloved by
his family. Bewildered and hurt

Von Laue Exposes Aims
Of The USSR
In Speech
Mr. Theodore von Laue, Lectur-
er in History, spoke Monday, Nov.
2, on “What Will Malenkov Do
Now?” The USSR’s internal bal-
ance and her stand on Korea, Ger-
many and a top-level internation-
al treaty conference were the ques-
tions he attempted to answer. ¢
Mr, von Laue believes that Mal).
enkov probably will not permit
Russia to appear at a conference °
on Germany, since it would only
emphasize her own weakness there.
Nor is it possible that he will en-
ter top-level treaty talks with the
Big Three, and he will join a Ko-
rean peace conference only on his
friendliness are rebuffed, he wand-
ers through the crowded
streets with no aim or purpose,’
other than to escape the intoler-
able situation of his home. His
entire family is characterized by
his grandmother’s statement that
she wishes she might “never see
his mean, sassy face again.”
Donald’s wanderings are one of
the most effective parts of the
film. The photography is extreme-
slum
ly perceptive as it catches glimpses
his way in a Valentino-like man- |
ner which grew broader and broad- |
vation was romantic but whose at- |
| difficult subject.
of his introspective moods. His
absorption in front of a barber
shop, trying to buy friendship witn
money stolen from his grand-
mother and the loneliness in his
face as he watches the city around
him are excellent.
Then he is singled out as one of
the boys to go to a corrective
school in the country. Gradually
he is helped by the counsellors and
other boys, but it is a slow painful
process. He is constantly haunted
by the fact that there is no one he
can love or who loves him. It is
not until he realizes he is break-
ing his heart over. a non-existant
life with his mother that he be-
gins full recovery. Now he has
found a counsellor whom he can
love and his desperate feeling of
being unwanted starts to fade.
The photography made this
movie outstanding in its. field. It
fully conveyed the mood where the
faulty and slurred dialogue did
not. However, the tone of the con-
versation was perhaps just as ef-
fective as if the words had been
comprehensible. In this manner
THE QUIET ONE became an ex-!
cellent and perceptive film on a
plan. If a paper is due on Tuesday, they will not have time
for Current Events on Monday unless they start the paper a
few hours earlier. There will not be time for May Sarton un-
less they start studying for the next day’s midsemester
ahead of time; so they do. This process is called time bud-
geting.
The Alliance is the only organization which has success-
fully combatted this widespread delusion. It budgets the
‘students’ time for them, gets them up and to classes a half
hour earlier. When twelve-thirty arrives, it is difficult to ra-
tionalize. From twelve-thirty on, class would have been in
session; from one to one-thirty, lunch. Besides, no lunch is
served until one-thirty. Robbed of the excuse, most of the
college goes to the assemblies, and in general is glad it did
so. It is also grateful to the Alliance for adding the extra
half-hour to the day. The remarkable thing about this meth-
od of adding time to the day is that it works on the individual
level as well.
This is not to imply that Bryn Mawr students are in-
different to proffered intellectual stimuli. They genuinely
regret having missed them. But they are so afraid that they
are not going to have time, they waste a good deal of it wor-
rying about the situation. Three or four hours out of a
planned week spent at a lecture, or in other profitable pur-
suits, will never be missed, and will yield immeasurable re-
turns on the investment. —
own terms.
His object is to keep the West’s
own disunity always before it, and
he will aggravate it by retreating
enough to diminish the fear that
binds the West tegether. Such a
series of conciliatory acts by Rus-
sia could give the West a chance
to strengthen her own defenses,
but it is as apt to weaken us. The
USSR, however, will continue to
grow and consolidate her strength.
Party Appeasement
Malenkov is definitely the head
of Russia’s government, although
the indications of this are indirect.
There is no major turmoil in Rus-
sia—a significant fact. Although
there were reports of a few tanks
in Russian cities around the time
of Stalin’s death, we have no way
of knowing to what faction they
belonged, and whether or not they
indicated internal strife. Most
probably, they did not.
There is good reason to believe
that Malenkov does have control of
the bureaucracy, since he was at
the center of the Party for the
past fourteen years and every ap-
pointment of importance had to
pass through the Party. He has
made no effort towards a major
purge and has, rather, moved to
appease Party members. A gen-
eral feeling of greater security
than that enjoyed by Stalin has
been evidenced by the slight lift-
ing of the Iron Curtain. We can
say that Malenkov is pretty firm-
ly in the saddle.
In foreign relations, the» USSR
is still following Stalin’s statement
to the 19th Congress that warfare
among the capitalist nations is
possible. She is making efforts to
encourage the West’s disunity by
easing the causes of friction be-
tween herself and the West.
Russia called off the fighting in
Korea because there was nothing
to be gained by continuing it. It
had only strengthened NATO and
the U. S.’s armament drive and
nothing more could be made out
of the germ-warfare charges.
Russia’s important concession on
the war-prisoners’ repatriation
problem was a setback for her, be-
"ause it established a precedent in
which only 5% of the prisoners
wished to return to communist
countries. Therefore, in any con-
ference she will attempt grand-
stand plays before the audience of
non-participants, Asiatic nations
whose admission to the peace con-
ference she is attempting to se-
cure.
Calls for a European political
conference on Germany’s re-unifi-
cation, to be held at Lugano, and
for a top-level discussion. among
Britain, the U. S., Russia and poss-
ibly France will probably not be
answered. Her weakness in Ger-
many has been demonstrated in the
June riots and by Adenauer’s
sweeping victory; she would not
wish to point up her loss of pres-
tige there. Russia demonstrated
amazing resiliency in these crises,
however, and has played France
and Germany off against each oth-
er with skill.

Experiment In Yugoslavia Reveals
Varied Cultures in Small Republic
by Anne Mazick, '55
The red star of the Partisans
caught our attention as we passed
through the southern range of the
Alps, from Austria into Yugo-
slavia. Docking at Rotterdam,
being welcomed by a brass band,
and riding through the Rhine-
land and the Austrian Alps had
been exciting, but this was what
we had been waiting for. It is
difficult if not impossible to go to
a new country without any precon-
ceptions of what it will be like,
and some of us arrived in Yugo-
slavia expecting a totalitarian
state where individual effort had
been frustrated and civil freedom
destroyed, others expected peace
and progress and contentment
with the existing system. Which-
ever notion we had carried with us
was altered at least a little dur-
ing the course of the summer.
Although most of us had been
primarily interested in seeing how
Communism functions and had
originally been prompted to Ex-
periment in Yugoslavia by a
knowledge of government, eco-
nomics, or history, those few who
had gone with a specific interest in
culture found a wealth of material
in churches, cathedrals, museums,
ancient ruins, and folk music and
dances, and the rest of us found
that our interest was broadened by
these. factors once we arrived, and
none could help but be impressed
by the startling variation in cul-
ture within the small area. East-
ern and western atmosphere, Ro-
man Catholic, and Serbian Ortho-
dox churches and Moslem mos-
ques, Romanesque and Byzantine
architecture, both the Latin and
Russian alphabets were all found
within the six small republics that
now comprise the Yugoslav federa-
tion.
At our first stop, Ljubljana, the
capital of Slovenia, we were met

Fletcher School of Law and Di-

For the major part of last year
Mr. Rupen was working in Munich,
Germany, for the Social Science

trusted him with the duty of inter-

Mr. Rupen was interviewing to

“Sabrina Fair’’ Proves
A “Delightful”
Comedy \
especially contributed
by Gwen Davis, °54
Every few seasons there comes
a play in which everything turns
out just as it should, the lovely
girl ends up with the handsome
man, and the audience leaves smil-
ing. Such a play is Sabrina Fair,
which opened in Philadelphia last
week. Samuel Taylor, author of
ithe Happy Time, has come up with
a frothy and delightful “romantic
comedy,” and, as in his previous
work, without striving to intrude
anything profound upon the mood
or the evening, he has managed to
do so in subtle and unimposing
fashion. ‘
‘’ne plot concerns Sabrina Fair-
child, chauffeur’s daughter, who
returns from five years wining,
dining, and absence of class dis-
tinction in France, to the estate of
her father’s employers. The Lar-|
abees are, of course, the epitome
of the social aristocracy of Long
island, tolerant of and condescend- |
ing to the “other classes.” The
household is thrown into an up-|
roar when Sabrina charms the
younger son of the family into pro-
posing to her.
At this point come the various
commentaries and wry insinuations
about class distinction in twentieth
century Ameria, and so forth, in-
cluding a surprising and delight-
ful discovery about the chauffeur,
Sabina’s father. All this is watch-
ed with amusement by Linus, the
older son, who has helped maneu-
ver much of the action, gaining
some grim satisfaction from the
confusion that. ensues.
By the evening’s end, with the
additional complication of the ar-
rival of Sabrina’s wealthy French
suitor, there is enough material to
be resolved to constitute the title
“play,” although some of the ma-
chinations are a little obvious, and
the ending is inevitable. But Sa-
brina Fair does not pretend to be
more than it is, and as such, it is
a good evening in the theatre.
Joseph Cotton
Joseph Cotten, after a long ab-
sence from the stage, is awkward
and unsure in his first few lines as
Linus, the business genius and
perennial bachelor of the family,
but becomes more relaxed and con-
vincing as the play continues; he
will probably become more so when
he gets accustomed to his audience.
Margaret Sullavan, as Sabrina,
is of course, wonderful to look at,
but she is trying a little too hard
to be warm and refreshing in the
opening scenes; when she _ stops
straining, she is very charming.
The rest of the cast, with the ex-
ception of a terrible French suit-
or, is excellent, with special laugh-
ter and plaudits going to Louella

wise ex-aristocratic observer
The play will be in Philadelphia
for the rest of this week, before
there is a great depression, or
people’s tastes have changed a
great deal, it will have a very suc-
cessful run.

Moroccan-Tunisian independence at
an informal discussion in the Com-

Traditionally we extend great
sympathy toward people seeking
independence, such as the Indones-
ians. Yet there are other groups
not capable of managing their own
afiairs; they are not financially,
economically; nor militarily pre-
pared to support themselves.
A second consideration against
inaependence in some cases is the
tact that the territory may be
split, as in Aratria where the di-
vision is along Coptic-Moslem lines
and not all the people seek free-

latter was the basis for questions
like, “Am I a metal?” as clues for
finding just which element each
person represented.
Guessing of one sort or another
continued throughout the evening.
Dr. Berry got the credit for recog-
nizing the ghost and devil as Dr.
Adams and Miss Steuart respec-
tively and then groups were form-
ed to unscramble the names of sci-
entists including Gardiner and Op-
penheimer. Charades on a scien-
tific basis included “The first Law
of Thermodynamics”, “Perpetual
Motion”, and “Oxidation-Reduc-
tion” as subjects.
A search for scientific objects
with apple juice, cookies, candy
and toasted marshmallows at hand
to inspire or perhaps decoy hungry
hunters was the last activity of
the evening.

Mr, Jessup, has no axe to grind,
but it is caught between the
mother countries and their col-
onies. He concluded that no solu-
tion can make everybody happy,
recalling the current problem over

by a package deal for the Amer-

The Temple Hockey Teams came
to.Bryn Mawr last Wednesday and
defeated the Varsity 7-3 and the
Junior Varsity 5-0. Their speed
and precision overwhelmed both
Bryn Mawr teams in the first few
minutes of the game. But after
the initial shock of Temple’s for-
midable skill, our teams rallied and
gave them a good fight.
The Varsity game was exciting
and for a while seemed evenly
matched. _Temple made several
goals early in the game, but Bryn
Mawr fought back and scored two
in return. Janet Hetzel made one
of the goals; Kay Foley, the other.
The backs were fighting fast to
keep Temple out of the scoring
zone and the goalie, Joyce Cush-
more, made several sensational
stops. In the last half Temple’s
endurance paid dividends.
The Bryn Mawr team kept on
fighting hard but their strength
ebbed. Though our forwards rush-
ed for goals, Temple’s defense,
their goalie especially, held them
off. The Temple forwards broke
through our defense and scored
goals until they reached the final
score of 7-3.
On the whole, the Varsity play-
ers worked well together in spite
of the absence of three regular
players: Nancy Potts, M. G. War-
ren, and Diana Scott.
The Junior Varsity forwards
played a poor game. Again and
again they carried the ball up to
the striking circle and threw away
opportunities for goals—sometimes
by fouls, usually by not following
up their passes and rushing through
to the goal. On the other hand
the J. V. defense played exception-
ally good hockey. They attacked
the opponents without hesitation
and hit some excellent long drives
to their forward line.

Movie Dramatizes
Plight of Strikers
“Millions of Us”, a film about
the depression years, was given on
Monday as this week’s Labor Re-
lations movie. The purpose of the
film was to show the worker’s side
of strikes: the early years of
unions when there was much more
‘pressure against strikers than
there is “now.
The movie portrayed an unem-
ployed man, out of work for two
years because his plant had shut
down, who came to New York hop-
ing for work. Not only was there
no work for him in New York, but
he, as a transient, was not eligible
for relief. He walked the city,
hungry, heard speeches announcing
what a land of opportunity he was
in, begged for food, and watched
a policeman eating some fruit he
had picked up at will.
Just as he was desperate he saw
an advertisement for metal work-
ers; the only hitch—he would have
to break a picket line to get the
job: This he was willing to do:
physically willing, anyway. He was
stopped, however, by aggressive
strikers in front of the employ-
ment office, and then their leader
came to him. The leader persuad-
ed him not to break the strike with
the best weapon of all; he fed him.
He also explained to him that the
plant had been closed down to put
him out of work, and all other
plants were united, and that was
why workers were getting such
poor conditions; the bosses were
united and the workers weren’t.
Although the unemployed man’s

evil in the world. Either God must
want evil or be unable to prevent
it, but we cannot reconcile an all-
powerful God with an all-benevo-
lent God.
Dr. Kennedy, a Presbyterian,
cited the need of keeping life re-
sigious, and always relating it to
God, since this is the only way in
which we can give life any real
meaning. In speaking to our gen-
eration, he said, he would stress
that the God of the Christian faith
is one who is able to lift us from
evil by our confidence in Him.
Surrender to God
The Rev. Cosby, from an inter-
denominational church, discussed
the problem of positioning oneself
in relationship to God. When one
can® surrender oneself, knowing
that God’s power is far greater
than one’s own, everything falls
into place. To do this, one must
participate in three acts: recollec-
tion, in which one realizes God’s
power and one’s need of Him;
awareness, when one knows that
God is constantly concerned with
one; and response, or deciding what
the above realization means, and
what one shall do to fit into God’s
plans.
Dr. deBoudenave, of the Episco-
pal Church, noted some fundamen-
tal facts about our lives, since the
most important thing which we
must do is to live them. We must
realize this, and then we must find
an adequate meaning for our lives

represent China, and does not in-
volve the entry of a new country
into the U.N.
A definite choice of basic policy
lay open to the victorious powers
in their treatment of post-war
Germany, explained Mr. Jessup in
answer to a question about Ger-
many. The first possibility was
traditional suppression in order to
make the country physically in-
capable of aggression again.
This suppression could be by
means of partition, by carving the
country into divisions and giving
these away, or by restrictions, as
in the treaty of Versailles. “This
policy was definitely rejected,”
said Mr. Jessup, “and, I think,
wisély so.”
In a country where the people
are fundamentally _ intelligent,
hard-working, and active, controls
must be of short duration. The
one hope of a non-suppressive pol-
icy(is that better elements within
the country will work from the in-
side out, eventually creating a co-
operative member of the world
community. After great disagree-
ment, the second philosophy was
adopted. The decline of move-
ments to the far left and right
was very encouragingly demon-
strated in the last election.
As for the policy of uncondi-
tional surrender, Mr. Jessup felt
that what had begun as a slogan
meaning total defeat turned into
a political platform with results
for which the conquerors were not
prepared. They had not considered
Germany’s position after defeat,
except for agreement that Hitler
was not to rule the new Germany.
“A terrible mistake, badly mis-
handled,” was Mr. Jessup’s opin-

in relation to the world in which
we must live. At present, we have
two alternatives concerning the
future; either civilization and cul-
ture as we know them may end
through atomic war, or our efforts
to prevent this may continue. We
must relate our lives to the central
issue of the time, which at the mo-
ment is that of Communism. Above
all, in finding a meaning for our
lives, we must not-ask rewards.
Discussion
An informal discussion followed
the talks. A central point of de-
parture was the question of the
omnipotence of God, and what He
is able or unable to do. The whole
problem of evil and how we can
decide what is evil also was dis-
cussed extensively.
Two of the ministers remained
afterwards and engaged in a disr
cussion with the Chapel Commit-
tee. The group evaluated the Con-
ference and made suggestions for

The freshmen were also a little
confused by several of the other
questions on the required examin-
ation. For instance, when asked
why roughage should be included
in the diet, one girl repliedthat it

the most trouble to the freshmen.
sinuses were described as “growths
in the nose’” or as “tiny hair-like
projections in the nose and throat.”
(For those who are still puzzled,
a sinus is defined by Webster as
“‘a cavity in the substance of a bone
of the skull which cOmmunicates
with the nostrils and. contains

Forty-watt light bulbs were rec-
ommended for most rooms by a

would make an interesting new

also ink and pencil drawings relat-
ing to the same subject matter.
One of the most outstanding paint-
ings was “Table in the Castle IT”
| with its rhythmic pattern of yel-
low-outlined figures against a dark
background. The drawings tended
to be more detailed as in “The
Country Doctor III”, where it was
hard to distinguish between bodies,
sheets, and other objects.
Interest in detail was also evi-
dent in works unrelated to Kafka.
In “Spring Ride”, ladies drawn in
contour as usual were bedecked
with detailed leaves and flowers
and sat on a carefully drawn straw
“horse”. Also on the lighter side
was “Warm Water Fish” with its
effective use of texture. “Good
Morning” and “The Sick Horse”
were interesting for their use of
surrealist devices; the interrela-
tionship of girls’ heads and the
body of a horse in the former and
the combination of a front and side
view head of a woman on the body
of a bird in the latter.

which the United States, at. that
time zealously engaged in educat-
ing Cubans, had sent to Harvard.
Misunderstanding the purpose of
the game, the Cubans suddenly
rushed into the game, brandishing
sticks, and shouting, “You Amer-
jiecans fight good, we fight good,
too.” “So ended,” smiled Miss
AppléBee, “the first hockey game
in America.”
So much enthusiasm was mani-
fested after the first game, that
Miss Applebee was offered a posi-
tion at Vassar. On the condition
that she could continue her public
health studies, she agreed to go.
Her academic efforts were thwart-
ed, however, due to the fact that
nine hundred students turned out
for hockey the first season, and
each day was completely filled with
hockey classes.
After introducing Vassar to the
new sport, Miss Applebee spread
the gospel to Wellesly, Radcliffe,
Smith, Mount Holyoke, and finaily
Bryn Mawr. Then she returned to
England. She came back the next
year, and this time she stayed for
a longer period of time.
In 1905, President Thomas ask-
ed her to stay at Bryn Mawr for
a year, and she took full charge
of the athletic program. This was
the era in which each class had
five hockey teams.
During her residence at Bryn
Mawr, the Merion Cricket Club
was introduced to hockey, and the
U. S. Field Hockey Association
was formed. Miss -Applebee was
instrumental in founding a coaches’
camp to train instructors.
During her long and full life,
Miss Applebee has had the satis-
faction of seeing hockey on the
athtletic curriculum of almost
every college and _ secondary
school in America. We are great-
ly indebted to her for an irivigorat-
ing and exciting sport.

ion of the book-burning. problem.
While America claims the title as
international champion of the
rights of man, inhabitants abroad
see this country headed down the
totalitarian path.
It was understood abroad that
the books on the “forbidden” list
had been ,emoved from all public
libraries in ‘the U. S.; the people
misunderstood that the removal
was only from overseas libraries.
The feeling abroad is, however,
not so much one of ignorance, but
of fear. ,
Two concepts lie behind the for-
mation of overseas libraries. They
are a propagandistic effort with |
books carefully selected to oer |
teract the effect of Hollywood |
movies. Secondly, the reference
l:braries are often intellectual oa |
ters where U. S. influence is felt.
difficulty arises here where
the criterion for removal is not
content alone. One book by Dulles
was removed from the library as
“pacifist literature” because the
word “peace” occurred in the title.
“Once you start down that line,
I think experience shows that it’s
very hard to put on the brakes,”
warned Mr. Jessup.
On the subject of the merits in
the Bricker amendment, Mr. Jes-
sup doubted that it had any. First,
it would be difficult to get Con-
gress to authorize the President
and his assistants to make agree-
ments without amending’ the
Amendment itself.
At the same time, often the
whole purpose of an agreement
may be lost if there is premature
public discussion; therefore treat-
ies are necessary. Mr. Jessup feels
that many of those who signed the
original supporting statement now
disagree with the features in the
Amendment. _

The U.N. cannot deal with pro-

here aggin, establishing a line of

The alignment of various groups
of states, or “bloc voting” is often
a hindrance, Mr. Jessup stated,
particularly in the case of the
Soviet bloc. However, there is
nothing inherently bad in blocs,
and they often serve to mirror
basic interests of certain sections.
One development which Mr. Jes-
sup thought possibl¢ in the near
future is the expansidn of the Se-
curity Council to include India as
a permanent member, and other
changes in representation to make
it adjusted to sections of the
world which have progressed so as
to outgrow the number of dele-
gates now allotted them.
Returning to the subject of
-|amendment of the U.N. Charter,
Mr. Jessup explored the pros and
cons of a possible world govern-
ment. In the absence of any seri-
ous world crisis, the U.N. would
undoubtedly continue to develop in
its customary, rather slow man-
ner, But in case a real crisis
should arise, the U.N. would find
itself in a serious situation, due to
its lack of power.
Any power organization must
necessarily be a responsible one.
But conversely, a responsible or-
ganization must have power to be
effective. The ultimate question is
where to: place power on an inter-
national level. The great stumbling
block to empowering the U.N. be-

the need for rest might increase,
A general hint to students sug4
gested that two short rest periods
might be more beneficial in the
long run than one long.
Miss Fales then took over the
discussion and_ asserted Bryn
Mawr’s relationship to its students
scholastically and socially. Her
most important point was that
Bryn Mawr is not merely an insti-
tute of higher learning, but a place
to develop an understanding of
oneself and others.
Miss Fales also suggested par-
ticipation in at least one extra-
curricular activity whether it be
a sport, group activity, or discus-
sions. Her last words reassured
the Freshmen by telling them not
to worry and to take everything
in stride.
Cakes, Buns, Cookies, Toast—
The very best the Inn can boast.
Come to tea and you'll agree,
“The College Inn‘s the place for me”
yond its present limits is a gen-
eral fear of abuse of power on an
international level.
It is a known fact that in time
of war, citizens willingly surrend-
er certain liberties to the govern-
ment, in the interest of the war
effort. But unless in an actual
state of war, people are reluctant,
often belligerently so, to allow the
government any such carte
blanche.
This is hardly logical, Mr. Jes-
sup stated, when the necessary
weapons exist to. eradicate the
whole human race. It is far more
intelligent to make a few sacrifices
before the holocaust. The Am-
oassador expressed the hope that
perhaps the fear of war can have
the same effect upon the attitude
of the people that an actual state
of war has.

Joint Russian Clubs Sponsor a Film,
“Baltic beanie Depicting it
by Marcia Case, ’57 4 ff}
The ‘opportunity to hear the
/Russian language spoken, to ob-
serve a Russian propaganda film,
said. to see a more human side of
“the'‘Russian people was offered
those who attended the movie
“Baltic Deputy,” “in the
-Music Room on November 2.
. The story revolved around Polez-
shown
-haev, a professor of botany who
“was a Bolshevist sympathizer in
the ‘Revolution of 1917. His po-
‘litical views hindered him in his
work and separated him from his
friends, but in the end he was ac-
claimed as a hero by the Bolshe-
vists.
Propoganda Study
=
The movie was an interesting
one to watch from the viewpoint
of studying propaganda. For in-
stance, Lenin was brought into
the movie several times in a very
sympathetic and human way, as
his writing a congratulatory letter
to the professor on the publishing
of the latter’s new book.
Polezhaev, in his speech to the
Bolshevists, naturally made a
re ee | /
statement that the workingmen
“are masters of all.” Throughout
the entire movie the professor was
presented in a very sympathetic
light, so that his views naturally
seemed the right ones.
It was also interesting to see a
few Russians in a relaxed mood,
and the audience probably felt a
closer kinship with the Russians
when one of them began to sing
“Gaudeamus Igitur.”
All the movie was a
worth-while experience.
The movie was presented jointly
by the reorganized Bryn Mawr and
in all,
‘| Haverford Russian Clubs.
Carol Keyes, president of the
Bryn Mawr Russian Club, said of
the organization: “Its purpose is
to hold meetings and _ present
events of general interest to people
interested-in Russian affairs, re-
gardless of whether or not they
have a knowledge of the language.
We encourage new members, and
hope that others will attend the
various functions ie club is plan-
ning for the year.”

ually including our hosts, to visit
a .marketing cooperative in a
neighboring village, a large elec-
trical works factory, the health de-
partment, which came at an op-
porture moment when most of us
were suffering with slight. stomach
difficulties, various government of-
ficials, and an enlightening eco-
nomics professor who was dean of
the law faculty at Zagreb Univer-
sity last year. We took a week-
end camping trip to a beautiful
lake region thirty miles from the
city and climbed Mount Sljeme
which could be seen from my fam-
ily’s window.
Age, Beauty, Poverty
The most obvious things we no-
ticed about Zagreb were its age,
beauty, and poverty. Visiting the
old city, “Gric,” or the Katedrala,
Cathedral, on the nearby hill,
Kaptol, and hearing the stories of
the feudal battles between the two
sections of the city was like stand-
ing in the middle of a history that
made the United States seem
young and inexperienced. The
beautiful parks, surrounding
mountains, rivers, and city squares |
make it a beautiful city, but the’
shabbiness of the homes and the’
people’s dress give the city an ap-.
parance
beauty.
Rent is extremely inexpensive
and food is cheap by American
standards so that everyone with
of poverty despite its
an average income or somewhat
lower can afford the basic costs of
living. Rent is the equivalent of
two or three dollars a month in
buildings owned by the govern-
ment. A few people are beginning
to attempt building private homes,
but the high taxes hardly make it
worthwhile. There is an extreme
housing shortage, and although
the government is building new
projects, Communists or partisans
or workers at a specific factory
for which a housing project may
be built will probably have pref-
erence in securing new rooms.
In the shops, there seems to ce
sufficient goods, but many things
are out of reach of people’s sal-
aries. Good textiles are expensive,
even. by our standards, and a stur-
dy pair of shoes costs Slmost a
whole month’s salary, which is
usually about twenty to thirty dol-
lars. Chocolate bars were among
prices
hundred’ to four hundred dinars,
which. is about thirty-three cents
to $1.383.. Since there ar2 no re-
frigerators' yor icé boxes in the
homes, marketing must be done
every day, and “Mamma” was al-
ways out of the house by 6:00 a. m.
to buy food for three meals, which
were always delicious!
Actually living in the country
had both its pleasant and disturb-
ing aspects because while we en-
joyed the warmth and pleasure of
family life, we also came into close
contact with the problems — the
‘difficulty in earning enough money
to buy new shoes and still eat, the
frustration of not being able to
own one’s own property, not being
able to earn extra profits for ex-
tra labor, because the government
takes such a large tax, and not be-
ing able to move into another flat
because there aren’t enough and
more privileged people are eligible
first. Regardless of how people
felt about the Communist regime,
however, even if they criticized the
system for not allowing individu-
als to improve their lot or for al-
‘lowing leaders to live so comfort-
ably, most of them seemed to feel
(that one major factor in favor of
the items that shocked us, with |
ranging from about one
the Communists is the unification
of Yugoslavia. Despite the intense
national, cultural conflicts that
still exist, there is at last a unified
federation.
