Alliance Directs
Campus Activities
To Peace Efforts

The Bryn Mawr Alliance, thgugh
originally a “war baby”, haf al-
ready begun work on plans for a
full year of activity oriented
around the effort to win the peace,
Dorothy Bruchholz, Alliance Presi-
dent, announces.

The Undergraduate Volunteer
Activities Program, organized un-
der the Alliance to meet the war
emergency, needs only slight re-
conversion to peace. Nurses’ Aides’,
Valley Forge, and knitting projecis
will continue, and the UVAP will
aid materially in the joint Under-
graduate Council “Food for Eu-
rope” drive whi¢f will open next
week, concomitant with registra-
tion for other UVAP activities.

Still others of the now tragition-
al activities of the Alliance will
continue. The Alliance will initiate
this year’s Victory Bond and Stamp
sales during the latter part — of
October. The Current Affairs As-
semblies’ series wil begin on O¢-
tober 11 with the talk by Ralph
Page, and the Current Events dis-
cussion program is already under
way. :
- Carryig the reconversion pro-
gram.a little further, The Alliance
hopes to branch out into commun-
ity activity in the Philadelphia
area later in the year. In conjunc-
tion with a campus discussion
group, it would sponsor political
work with such organizations as
the League .of Women Voters, the
United Nations Council, the For-
eign Policy Association, the OPA,
and the Anti-Defamation League.

Plans are also afoot for the or-
ganization of a semi-formial debat-
ing group on campus, and, tenta-
tively, for participation in a con-
ference of the Big Sever women’s
colleges on the future of Japan.

Faculty Changes, New Emphasis
On Peace Stressed by McBride

PRESIDENT McBRivE welcomes MLLE. BREE back to the faculty.







Changed Picture Faces
Bryn Mawr Students
And Faculty



In the opening assembly - of
Bryn Mawyr’s 61st academic
President. McBride stressed the

changed picture which Bryn Mawr

year,

‘students and faculty face as they

return to a world of peace. Without
deny: that the college may well
take pride in the record of the fac-
ulty in meeting the demands of war

both in war jobs and in the main-
tenance of the same high standards
of instruction, President McBride
still emphasized the great respon-
sibility borne by each individual in
carrying out the enterprise
peace.

President McBride further point-
ed out the great. test that we are
facing now, is the ‘urgent ‘heed to
rebuild earlier goals and to ‘rein-
force the old political and © social,
national and international organi-
zations. Though we are no longer
hampered by considerations of war
aims and needs, with the freedom
to choose a course of study comes
the demand for the fuller use of
individual talents in the interests
of the society. as well as the indi-
vidual. The wise use of this free-
dom can compensate for-some. of
the losses of war, and is the final
test of a democratic society, de-
clared Miss McBride. ©

More particular new aspects of
Bryn Mawr, pointed out by' Miss
McBride, arising from the end of
the war included the very evident
change in emphasis from scien-
tific preparation to interest in the
humanities which has appeared in
the Freshman class. Another strik-
ing change lay in thé increase in
number of foreign students
: The large number in the foreign
group represents an increase from
a former 1% to 7% im the class of
’49 which has 10 foreign students.
There are 2 French girls, 2 Cana-
dians, and 2 Chinese, as well as a
Greek girl, a Roumanian, a Vene-
zuelan, and a Norwegian.

With Role in War
Revealed



Prominent among the faculty re-
turning this year are Mlle. Ger-
maine Bree and Arthur L.Patter-
son. The peacetime return of many

of the faculty who have been ab-
sent. on war leave brings a release
of censorship and _ restrictions,
hence an increased knowledge of
the importance of the services of
the faculty and of the college as
a whole.

Mile Bree will take up her work
in the French department after
an absence of two years with the
French Army, She-was mamed a

League Seeks
100% Response
In Annual Drive.

Activities Include Camp
Chapel, Labor School
Relief Funds



The Bryn Mawr Leagué opens its
annual drive Wednesday, evening
with a post-war emphasis on the °
community contributions forming
the principle portion of its pro-
gram, The League, one of the old-
est organizations on campus, di-
rects its activities chiefly towards
the ¢analization, of all social acti-
vities, of a benefit nature in which
the college participates.

Biggest item in the League’s.
budget is the Bryn Mawr Summer
Camp, which provides a_ two-
weeks camp vacation for under-
privileged children from. the Phila-
delphia area. The camp is staffed
largely by Bryn Mawr students and
the League provides all the funds
necessary for its operation.

Also receiving financial support
from the League are the Hudson
Shore Labor School, the Chapel
speakers, the Maids and Porters
Committee and the Industrial
Group, an outside committee work-
ing for the education of industrial
workers. The League is also _pre-
pared to contribute to any. special
relief funds which the students
wish to support. Non-financial. aid
can.be recorded in the League’s
organization of volunteers for the
Haverford Community Center and
the Overbrook Blind §chool.

Chairman of the drive, which
aims at 100% contribution of $7.50
from each student is Betsy Kalten-
thaler. She is aided by her hall ‘so-
licitors: Rockefeller, Sally»Smuck-
er; Merion, Betsy McClure; Den-
bigh, Roz Kane; Pem East, Doreen
Hurwitz; Pem West, Ning, Hitch-
cock; Rhoads North, Amorette Bis-
sell; Rhoads South, Page Hart;

French House, Jo Mott; German
House, Bobby Williams; Spanish
House, Hope Kaufmann; Radnor

and Low Buildings, Dotty Jones.

President of tne League is Gogo

Waldman.

This drive, wholly voluntary in
nature, is a traditional affair at
Bryn Mawr, taking precedence over
all other duties. Each and every
undergraduate should feel bound to
contribute to the support of local
and college-sponsored charities in



their adopted community.

The Fallacy of Orals

of a sound knowledge and comprehension of a language.

A knowledge of two languages should bé required in or-

who has an excellent grasp of a foreign tongue and reads it
wihout mentally translating it into English, has far more dif-

Superficial Knowledge

Such a course ks elementary German appears to defeat
its own purpose. Its end is to pass the oral and only a year is
devoted to this purpose because the number of courses a Bryn
-Mawr student can carry is so limited. But because we are
able to take so few of all the courses offered, it seems un-
reasonable that one of these should be elementary German.
When once the oral is passed, the superficial knowledge of
German gained in this course is forgotten.

Volunteers Still Needed
For UVAP Aétivities
Say Students

S —_—_—_
Dear Editors:

Although the end of the war has
taken’ away the impetus for all-out
Undergraduate volunteer effort,
the need for it still remains. There
are still badly wounded soldiers at
Valley Forge who need entertain-
ment and recreation, there are still
many understaffed hospitals, and
Europe-~is still without food. The
three hours a week that each Un-
dergraduate contributes can do
much to relieve this situation.

With the conversion to . peace-
time, new problems will arise of-
fering new fields for our activities
in the community. There are also
many fields which need continued
support of the college such as the
Haverford Community Center and
the Blind School. Any contributions
that we make will increase our abil-
ity to cooperate with others and
direct our €fforts after college.

We believe that now more than
ever these hours of volunteer work
should be «continued. We have
proved that we can do it in war-

‘time, and certainly our commit-

ments have not increased. The com-
ing UVAP drive will offer many
varied opportunities, and we hope
that the Undergraduates will réal-
ize its’ necessity.

mistake of 1919 in pouring money

Politically the problem is con-
siderably more difficult as it in-
volves fundamental social changes.
“Our thinking’ about the future of
Germany is distorted’ by the iden-
tification of democracy with politi-
cal~-democracy,” said Professor-
Ebenstein, pointing out that de-
mocracy is the entire way of life
envisaged in democratic society,

The tyrannical role of the father-
in the family, and the failure of
non;comformist churches to flour-
ish in Germany were cited by Pro-
fessor Ebenstein to illustrate the
emphasis on discipline and the lack
of real democratic feeling there.
He suggested the labor movement
as the best hope for an_ internal
development of democracy in Ger-
many, but this, he emphasized,
must be given all assistance pos-
sible from the allies.

Freshman Plays

To Start Season



Dramatic activity for the first
semester on campus will begin for
the class of ’49 with the production
of the Freshman Hall plays, one to
be given by the group in each hall.
Work on these plays will begin im-
mediately after Lantern Night, un-
der the sponsorship of the Varsity
Players.

The performance of these plays
will be given on November 2 and 3
in the Otis Skinner Workshop on

Although plans for the Varsity
Players’ Club have not as yet been
completed, a fall production is
definitely scheduled for December
7 and 8. While. no Freshman may
take part in this production, there
will be ample opportunity for any
one to work with the Stage Guild,
incidentally fulfilling the eligibil-
ity requirement for Stage Manager
of the Freshman Show.

A committee of faculty and/or
administration will be chosen to
judge these plays in the competi-
tion for the silver plaque now
hanging in Rhoads. This award is
made directly after the last play
Saturday night.



War’s End Affects
B. M. College Life



The end of the war brings many
changes to the. Bryn Mawr cam-
pus. Not only. are there academic
changes, brought about by the ‘re-
turn of former faculty and by new
appointments, but the return to a
peacetime basis- enlarges extra-
curricular activities and in many
ways will brighten the lives of
Bryn Mawr students.

There has been little change in
the student body except for the in-
crease in number and the end of the
war is not expected to affect that
aspect. The Cornelia Otis Skinner
Workshop, located on the Bald-
win Campus, will reopen this year
and the Freshmen plays and all
small productions will be given
there instead of in Goodhart.

Concerning the food situation,
Miss Batchellor told a News. re-
porter that although restrictions
have béen cut there will be no im-
mediate surplus of chops and
steaks on campus. Meat now takes
less points and is more available,
but it is still hard to obtain good
grades and cuts. Due to the har-
bor strikes, there is no sugar to be
had; the damp weather and early
frosts. have » played havoc with
fruits and vegetables, but all re-
strictions have been lifted from
milk, cream and. ice-cream.

Last, but by no means least, it
is fervently hoped by the Bryn
Mawr student body that along with
the reappearance of cigarettes,
Kleenex and Hershey bars there
will be not only an adequate sup-

ply of, but an abundance of MEN. '

F reshmen Reveal
Effect Of Peace

In New Interests.........



Each new Freshman, class pos-
-sesses something of a character
which differentiates it from pre-
ceding classes, as Miss McBride
noted in her speech to the college
in the opening assembly of the
6lst academic year. The class of
1949 demonstrates in its plans for
college courses, dictated by its own
interests rather than war, a renew-
ed interest-in the humanities and
especially in the arts. There also
exists a marked interest in. lan-
guages, as evidenced by the fact
that 62 students entered with more

‘than the required six units-of-lan- ~

guage.
Further statistics indicate that

.| geographical distribution is wider

and the number of foreign students
greater than in the previous few —
years. 109 schools have prepared a
class which ‘itir#ers 147 students.

At present there are 28 Fresh-
men in Merion, 14 in Denbigh, 24 in
Pembroke East, 15 in Pembroke
West, 33. in Rockefeller, 9 in
Rhoads North, 12 in Rhoads South,
and 11 in Low Buildings. As_ va-
cancies occur in the other halls,
the students in Low Building will
be moved.

Book Of Poems
For Children







by April Oursler °46

The Silvery Flute, “a book of
- verses for children”, written by

Hilda Erbsloh Muller, Bryn Mawr
’15, seems to this reviewer to be
directed rather at adults interested
in child psychology.

The opening: poem, taking the
role of a preface, describes. the’
music of childhood as the charming
lyrics of “a silvery flute”. Yet a
more comprehensive picture of the

" idea behind the poems, is given by
the publisher when he says that
Mrs. Muller has managed to _ set
down, sometimes in rhyme, more
often only in rhythm, the tuneless
meanderings of a child’s mind and
voice, 2

Such-lines-as‘‘Moo-cow, moo-cow,

Chew cow, Chew cow,” are typical
of the chain-reflexes uttered by a
very young child when he feels
himself to be alone. Other verses
deal lovingly with the charms of a
baked potato and the cruelty of
pruises.
’ Certain of the poems, however
contrast strongly with these in
their subject matter, dealing with
naive metaphysics of the universe,
while still others are pure non-
sense rhymes in a style which is a
strange mixture of Ogden Nash
and Marianne Moore, All are writ-
ten in an easy flow, in ‘general
using no words not in a four-year-
old’s vocabulary.

Yet such verses are not the type
that are particularly fitted for
reading aloud to children. Young
minds want more fluency and im-
agination than they already pos-
sess, when they make the effort to
listen to poetry. These verses re-
main a subject for amused and
careful study by the grown-ups in-
terested in the workings’ of the
childish mind.

Tilustrations by Marjorie Very
are strikingly original in their
softness and fluidity of line. Rang-
ing in subject matter from a little
boy surveying his baked potato
from over a copious bib, to a bobby
soxer sorting her record collection, |
they provide a fairly sympathetic |
accompaniment to Mrs. Muller’s
verses.

Freshman week at Bryn Mawr
is a revered and even useful tra-
dition. Looking back, you are apt
to remember only an overwhelming
amount of Freshmen. Most of them
were baffled, as was the upper-
classman who tried to find Low
Buildings and ended up peering
desperately from Park roof.

The welcoming committee panted
to the third floor again and again,
helplessly carrying the excess !ug-
gage. ’49 had been told to .bring
sports clothes gnd extfa equipment
and evidently complied. One bewil-
dered upper classman .was~- seen
slyly pocketing a tip.

of judges: Miss LANG, Mr. SpracueE, and Mr, FRANK.

Fate to have Mrs. Grant, a Fresh-
man and an umbrella meet at Pem
arch. The Freshman handed Mrs.
Grant the umbrella “because you
are taller’, and the two made their
way to Taylor steps. The Freshman
remarked naively that Mrs. Grant
must be a senior, and talked of
things to come, Then she dashed
off to keep one of “those silly ap-
pointments,” while Mrs. Grant, un-
seen, went up to her office. A few
minutes later when she was usher-
ed into Mrs. Grant’s office, the
Freshman babbled “I always get
the wrong door” and turned to go
right out. ‘

Parties held in the halls ranged
from name games to _ treasure
hunts. The Freshmen from the
Penthouse, Nee Low Buildings,
joined Pem West in a rousing bat-
tle over the Game, with ’49 leaving
an embarrassed welcoming commit-

Radio Club Plans

Many Innovations



The Bryn Mawr Radio Club will
begin to broadcast on October 15.
The programs will be given in con-
junction with the Haverford Radio
12
will present one hour nightly with
the Swarthmore radio club.

This is the first permanent in-
tercollegiate network of more than
two stations. All three clubs are
members of the Intercollegiate
Broadcasting Systeta, a national
organization, of which the three
way network is the first permanent

“hookup. They hope to take part in

some of the programs of the larger
systems along the Eastern Coast,
and to present some of their own.

To cover these -expanded activi-
ties, the club needs new ideas and
more people to. work on all parts of
the programs, according to Camilla
Williams, president. The depart-
ments_of the club include _produc-
tion, headed by Martha McDonald,
Rhoads, which is responsible for
producing and conducting all pro-
grams from start to finish; music
headed by Betty Lilly, Rockefeller,
which puts’on all types ‘of pro-
grams from swing to symphony;
writing, headed by Jane : Man-
thorne, German House; engineer-
ing, under Dee Dame, Rockefeller;
publicity and business headed by
Joan Gould, Pembroke East, and
Camilla Williams, -Rhoads, re-
spectively. ;

The club hopes that those who
could not attend the tryouts on
Tuesday will contact the people in
whose departments they are inter-
ested. “There is “every sign that
the club is going on to bigger and
better things,” said the president.
“The work is a great deal of fun,
so let’s start out with a bang!”

Bryn Mawr’s Radio Club, an
early pioneer in the college field,
though hampered by war-time
equipment restrictions, carried on
broadcasting and production last
year, providing experimental know-
ledge, useful now.

The two affiliating hospitals. this

staff of the hospitals using the pro-

students as fine a background in
nursing as it is possible to get.
The Bryn Mawr College campus

Red Cross Offers
New Scholarships
For Good Work

Alexandria, Va.—American~ Red
Cross scholarships with a special
appeal to college women interested
in careers in social work have been
announced here by Ramone S. Ea-
ton, manager of the Eastern Area
of the American Red Cross.

The Home Service workers of
all local chapters of the Red Cross
have: aided thousands of service-
men and veterans and their fam-
ilies by assisting financially and by
giving counsel in cases of personal
and family problems. In order to
continue these seryices, and to ex-
pand its program, the Red Cross
must increase. its..staff by hun-
dreds of workers. Hence, the schol-
arships in accredited schools of
social work have been established.

The scholarships are of two
types. The student may train eith-
er for medical or psychiatric social
work, or for family case work.
Both scholarships proyide for eith-
er first or second year graduate
work. A student receiving a schol-
arship for study in medical or psy-
chiatric social work will be assign-
ed to an Army’ or Navy Hospital
as a hospital social workers at the
end of her year of study. The re-
cipient of a/scholarship for family
case work ‘study will be assigned
to the Home Service staff of an
American Red Cross chapter.

In either case, the applicant for
a scholarship must agree to at
least/ one year’s employment with
the Red Cross. Other qualifications
are that the applicant should be
between the ages of 21 and 40, a
graduate of an accredited .college,



jand a citizen of the United States.

Further, she must be eligible for
‘acceptance by one of the accredit-
ed schools of social work and rec-

choice for a Red Cross scholarship.
In addition, she must be. able to
give employment references satis-
factory to the Red Cross, or good
personal references if she has no
work history.

The Red Cross scholarship for
study in social work provides for
the payment of tuition in the school
selected, and $100 in additign for
each month of the school year.

tion blanks may be obtained from

With an eye to the increase in
public clamor for the psychological

of Love Letters. There might well
be.a question as to the plausibility
that a sentimental and sympathetic

The story revolves around forged

was not her literary lover. Ina
scene that cries for the Hitchcock

presence of Victoria and her Aunt

After the murder, Victoria be-

Language Houses
Plan FullSeason ’

The signs: of vigorous activity
which the language clubs and
houses are displaying this year are
indicative of a hopefully interna-
tionalist attitude on the Bryn Mawr _.
campus.

In its third year of existence,
Spanish House has expanded to a
new high of thirteen members. In
response to the growing interest,
the-Spanish club president, Beverly
Shy, promises special events, in
addition to a bridge party, many
teas, and a Christmas play. Among
these events will be lectures, by
Jorge Guillen, of Smith College;
Pedro Salinas of ‘Johns Hopkins;
Father McCarthy of Villanova; and
Mrs. Ontanon, new faculty member
in the Spanish department. Joseph
Hellmer, expert on South Ameri-
can folk-music is expected to pay a
return visit, and Sophie Novoa,
Spanish dancer wil] perform.

French House this year houses
sixteen members. Alice Fisher,
president of the French Club, an-
nounces that the group will devote
much time to the drive for food fr
Europe, and may continue its knit-
ting projects. A new French Christ-
mas play will be presented and one
club meeting will center around
French peasant songs. Speakers
for the group will discuss postwar
changes in France and Europe.

Ten students have lent them-
selves to the gentle art of sprechen

vest? Where is the man? Is he

The baseball game was. extra-
ordinary to say the least, The
Freshmen lost to the Faculty, rep-
resented by Mr. Berliner and Mr.
Berry, adequately assisted by the
Navy (they played on both sides
at once) and upper classmen. Two
balls were put in play and third
base was left unguarded while the
Navy took their turn at bat,. all of
which added to a stimulating if
somewhat complicated game.
Returnees from Saunders’ Barn
arrived hoarse from shouting, with
various degrees of hay fever. One
lost séul said that she didn’t get
enough to eat. “I was over done
from walking but the hot — dogs
were under done. Even though , I
went through the line twice, I only
got a gram of baked beans.” We
hope that after her SA and Lantern
Girl havétaken her to tea and vice
versa, she will be full and content.

Patterson Cited
For War Work

Dr. A. L. Patterson, who last
reek and this week presented two
sxctures on the scientific principles
f the atomic bomb, has returned
1is year from work at the Naval
'ydnante Laboratory for which he
eceived the Meritorious Civilian
\ward.

The citation reads as_ foliows:
Dr. A. L. Patterson of the Accvus-
ic Section of the Mine Division, as
zader of a small group, assisted in
he final stages of one of the most
mportant mines just released for
ervice. His most outstanding con-
tributions were in the writing of
the instruction d operational
pamphlets and RS dinates of
the service testing of nies with
the Test Division and the \ Naval
Mine Warfare Test Station. His
work was primarily not \adminis-
trative, but consisted in scientific
leadership. Dr. Patterson’s unus-
ually fine scientific and technical
knowledge, keen intelligence, per-
ception and seand judgment as well
as his know.edge and understand-
ing of the problems involved in
operations, his energetic and intel-
ligent work in the analysis of test
results and in the preparation of
two outstanding pamphlets, as well
as in the unusual esprit-de-corps
maintained in the group with which
he worked have resulted in excep-
tionally valuable contributions to
the mine program. In view of these
achievements, Dr. Arthur L, Pat-
terson is awarded the Meritorious
Civilian Award,”





Sophomores Parody |

| 1949’s Parade Song’.

slaught manfully and noisily.

In the ensuing struggle every-
one mistook friend for foe, shoving
valiantly against all opposition.
Two almost definable circles even-
tually emerged out of the confu-
sion, but the spectators on the hill
kept asking one another, “Did they
get their song?” a

One battered but incredlous
Freshman challenged, “Well, if
you’ve got our song, let’s hear you
sing it.” But ’48 was too exhaust-
ed to utter another note of their

‘parody:

“Here come the Sophomores

The Freshmen are all off the ball
They never fooled us

’49 is due for a fall

We’ve got your number

You’d better give way to the Blue
’48 has got your number

And it’s the end for you.”

As the college grooped back up
the hill to sing under Pem Arch,
one repentant Sophomore was
overheard saying, “Oh dear, it’s
their. first failure, and. it’s all our
fault.” i

How it happened that ’48 did
learn the Parade Night Song is a
deeply guarded Sophomore secret.
It was. ten minutes of seven on
Parade Night, and Kathy Land-
reth, Sophomore song - mistress,
was. struggling over a parody to
Wagner’s- Wedding March, when
that mysterious Sophomore rush-
ed in with the news that the tune
was “Roll out the Barrel.” Our
heroine, or villain, has hidden in
anonymity ever since.

(Many and vain were the ruses
and confidence gags of the Sopho-
mores. Page Hart appeared in
Low Buildings, dressed in a bright
colored suit and looking as new
and bewildered as possible. ‘After
fraternizing with all Pent House
inmates and even submitting to
being measured for a gown by
Ada Klein, Pagediscovered that
nobody in Low Buildings knew the
song anyway.

‘When the Freshman song-mis-
tress, Ruth Crane, was asked one
week later for the words to the
song, she demanded suspiciously,
“Ts it okay to tell it now?”
