Parties Of Clubs
Introduce Holiday

The Christmas glow is already
in the air, and to add to the carols,
gay wrappings, and decorated ev-
ergreens, there will'be parties too!

Plan for a night of partying on
Tuesday, December 16. Bundle up
and traipse around campus, finding
yourself guests of several clubs
exhibiting Yuletide spirit. Start at
Rhoads at 8:30 with the Classics
Club, and then become internation-
al to make merry with the lan-
guage clubs. The Russian Club is
tentatively scheduled at 9:00 at
Rock, and then the pinata will
burst and candy will fall from it
for everyone at the Spanish festiv-
ities in Merion at 10:00. The grand
finale will be at Wyndham with the
French club at 10:30.

Food (right in line with the
name of the club, and good for
both Christmas and December
frost) will be served at each hall,
and you'll be happy with the skits
and songs presented. Plan on De-
cember 16 for this route around
campus and a sparkling picture of
Noel!



Traditional Service
To Feature Carols
Of Joint Choruses

The holiday season is almost
upon us. To herald it, the Bryn
Mawr College Christmas Carol
Service, given jointly with Haver-
ford, will be held in Goodhart Hall
on December 14th at eight o’clock.
In addition to the _ traditional
carols, many well-known works
will be sung.

Participating will be the Bryn
Mawr College Chorus, under the

direction of Robert L. Goodale, and

the Haverford College Glee Club
and Bryn Mawr-Haverford Orches-
tra, both conducted by William H.
Reese.

As the guest speaker of the eve-

ning, the Reverend Andrew Mutch, ||

D.D., will read the Christmas
story. Dr. Mutch is Minister Emer-
itus of the Bryn Mawr Presby-
terian Church.

The program will be a varied
one. Selections by the Bryn Mawr
Chorus will include Monteverdi’s
“Hodie Natus Christus
Schutz’s
“Carols of the Angels”, by Niles,
and “A Lovely One is He”, which
is a Flemish carol. The Haverford
Glee Club will sing four carols.

Among the works to be sung by
the combined choruses are Bach’s

Itinerant Players
Plan Classic Skit

Next Tuesday the dramatists of
the Graduate Center will step into
the limelight to present their
Christmas skit. The secret about
their production has been closely
guarded; the only clue we have is
that it is entirely different from
the one given last year. “Classical
scholars will know the play im-
mediately afer the first few lines,”
‘Director Mary Jane Downs stated.
“But it will be very enjoyable to
everyone.”

The Graduate students have
been working diligently on the
play since late in November; most
of the students involved are new at
acting, and none of them were in
last year’s show.

The actors will visit every hall,
arriving in the following sequence:
8:45 p.m. Rhodes North and South,
9:15 Rockefeller, 9:45 Radnor,
10:15 Merion, 10:45 Wyndham,
11:15 Pembroke East and ‘West,
and 11:45 Denbigh.



Mr. Thon Divulges Fate of Arthur
The Rat of Famous Speech Tests

especially contributed by Frederick Thon

As a consequence of the work in
Speech I have been asked so many
times about the fate of the young
rat whose history is begun in the
first two paragraphs of the selec-
tion used for the Speech test that
I feel compelled to divulge -it as
a contribution toward the custom
of occasional Faculty Notes. It
runs as follows:

Once there was a young rat
named Arthur who never could
make up his mind. Whenever his



friends asked him if he would like
to go out with them, he would only
answer “I don’t know.” He
wouldn’t say “yes” or “no” either.
He would always shirk making a
choice.

One rainy day the rats heard a
great noise in the loft. The pine
rafters were all rotten so that the
barn was rather unsafe. The walls
shook, and all the rats’ hair stood
on end with fear and _ horror.

Maids And Porters
Go “A-Wassailing”
On Campus, Dec. 17

As the ever-circling- years bring
round their golden period of
Christmas Tide; we prepare for
many time-old traditions, tradi-
tions which enhance the feeling of
Christmas, traditions which aim
at spreading love and joy.

‘On Wednesday, December 17 at
eight o’clock, in true Bryn Mawr
tradition, Christmas music will
come-a-knocking at your door, .as
the Maids and Porters plan to
come “a-wassailing”’ among the
campus “leaves so green”. They will
take the spirit of Christmas to all
halls, to Miss McBride’s home, to
Miss Howe, to the Deanery, to the
Infirmary, to the graduate centre;
in fact: the Bryn Mawr campus
will. resound, that night, with
Christmas music, familiar and lov-
ed by all.

The carolling, which will be di-
rected by Ann Shocket and by
Gloria Von Hebel, will include
many of the old favorites: among
them: O Come All Ye Faithful and
Silent Night and a new one, Hark
How the Bells, by Wilhouski. The
| ee are (Louise Jonés, Al Mac-
‘kay, and Louis White. This year
the choir will be joined by Maids
and Porters’ visiting sjnging
friends, as well as by members of

Somerset, Maugham’s The Circle,
staged by Margaret Glenn, pro-
duced some very excellent charac-
ter acting last weekend in Good-
But, unfortunately, the
roles that portrayed more normal,
well-adjusted. people) were played
with considerably less skill. It
seemed that the degree of talent
evidenced was almost directly pro-
portional to the degree of “char-

‘acter’ acting” ‘demanded by the

part.

The lack of conviction of the
more normal characters can be at-
tributed to two causes. In the firs.
place, some of their lines were in-
sipid to begin with; and, secondly,
the students taking those pa...
lacked the finesse of turning in-
sipid lines into living people. For
the play is one of conversation,
not ohe of action, and therefore de-
pends on the effectiveness of the
dialogue for its success or failure.

lrene Ryan as Lady Kitty,: “this
ridiculous caricature of a pretty
woman grown old,” did a superb
job of acting. From her first en-
try (“Elizabeth! Elizabeth! What
an’ adorable creature! Hughie,
isn’t she adorable?”), which had
to be good because of the. anticipa-
tion of her arrival built up by the
preceding dialogue, she was con-
vincing, entertaining, and neurotic.
Her hold upon the audience cli-
maxed in Act III where she tries
to dissuade Elizabeth from run-
ning away with Teddy.

“It breaks my heart to think
that you’re going to make the
same pitiful mistake that I made.
Look at me, Elizabeth, and look at
Hughie. Do you think it’s been a
success? If I had my time over
again do you think I’d do it again?
Do you think he would?”

And Hughie, Lord Porteus, play-
ed by Brooks Cooper, takes second
laurels. He could have _ been
prime minister, you know. And
you do know it. The stooped,
crotchety, young-but-so-old man
carried with him an air of has-
been prominence, and it was hard
to imagine what he could possibly
look and be like in real life. He
was equally capable of losing his
teeth, being tender with Lady
Kitty, or exploding at Clive Cham-
pion-Chene, Kitty’s husband.

new has been added, as they will

Just in case there is anybody
who still doesn’t know what this

Speech Course

In answer to the Curriculum Committee’s inquiry into
the purpose and advantages of a speech course the Editorial
Board would like to emphasize a few aims and ideas which it
feels are paramount.

Any speech course is an aid to make an individual cap-
able of speaking intelligibly and forcefully before an audi-
ence, There are many times when getting a point across be-
comes of vital importance, not only after college in a job or
in the community, but also in class discussions, in oral re-
ports, or in almost any position of responsibility on campus.
The only way to control nervousness, to learn to prepare an
organized speech, and to correct speech defects that are not
physical or regional is by practice, coupled with a certain
amount of instruction.

Unfortunately the present freshman course at Bryn
Mawr does not succeed in fulfilling these aims. In the first
place the course is not long enough. Students assume they
will be excused after giving one speech and so do not plan to
put any time or effort in preparation. Secondly, the one re-
quired presentation is not enough practice to insure compos-
ure for future speeches. There should be some form of dis-
cussion, perhaps more formal speeches and extemporaneous
talks on material from a reading assignment.

One idea that has been advanced is to use Roberts’ Rules
in the speech class so that students would get accustomed to
parliamentary procedure. Another suggestion is to incorpor-
ate the speech course with Freshman Composition in so far
as the speech class could be assigned reading in conjunction
with Freshman Comp. The grades for the two courses, how-
ever, should be separate. The lack of grades is another ma-
jor fault in the present system as it encourages students to
expend a minimum of energy in order to pass the course and
so complete the requirement. The speeches should be graded
not only on presentation, but also on content and organiza-
tion. .

_ The speech course should without question be taken in
the freshman year and it should be required. If a student
has already had such a course in school or seems to have mas-
basic aamg technique, she | re excused from the second

vf the course ao that it may become

Current Events

Mr. Berry Airs Facts

~ Qn Financial Aid |
For Science

The problem of financial support
for the natural sciences in Amer-
ican colleges and universities was
the central topic of Mr. L. Joe
Berry’s talk at Current Events on
Monday, December 8, in the Com-
mon Room. Speaking on “Science:

| Who Pays?”, Mr. Berry pointed

out two aspects of the problem.
The first was that the cost of giv-
ing a student a scientific education
is higher than that in any other
field of education, posing a finan-
cial problem for the average col-
lege. The second, was the difficul-
ties in financing scientific research
on the part of faculty members
when so much has already been
spent on the science departments.

Bryn Mawr’s financial situation
is a typical example. That sci-
ence, besides requiring approxi-
mately the same expenditure for
books as do any of the other de-
partments, requires laboratory
equipment and supplies has caused
the amount to be spent by the four
departments of natural science to
equal that spent by all of the other
departments put together. In-
cluded in this expense in science
is the cost of an instrument mak-
er’s shop at the college, costing
approximately $10,000 a year, and
a departmental appropriation from
college funds,

Therefore, there are insufficient
funds for research. This situation
holds true in most colleges. Mr.
Berry stated that, although that
a man shows greatness in research
does not necessarily mean that he
is a good teacher, it is the most
satisfactory way in which an insti-
tution can judge the teaching abil-
ities of its faculty. But research
is expensive; the natural sciences
at Bryn Mawr in the last five
years have spent $26,000, from 21
different grants, on research.

The problem of who is to fin-
ance such research has changed
since the war. In the pre-war per-
iod, scientific research in educa-
tional institutions was almost to-
tally privately endowed, mainly by
industry and scientific foundations.
The northwestern area of the
country received from 65% to 80%
of the funds. Industry spent its
money where it would get the
maximum returns, in the East,
where the greatest opportunities

| for development were offered. Only

the government could attempt to
raise the standard of education all
over the nation. The National
Scientific Foundation was set up,
which now distributes funds on a
geographical basis. At the pres-
ent, the government of the United
States is spending over $300 mil-
lion in grants to educational insti-
tutions for scientific research. . ~

Mrs. R. Cole Lists

‘Aids tor Interview

“wwnowing whac to expect in an
interview gives you seit-contidence
which in turn makes an excellent
impression of your poise,’ expiai-
ed Mrs. Kobert A. Cole, New York
admissions counselor for'the Kath-
arine Gibbs School, at tne vVoca-
tuonal Committee ‘lea vecember 8.

4n preparing to seek tor a job

there are three necessary steps:
analyzing yourself, choosing the
job interesting to you, and learning
vo interview successfully.

Your self-analysis must be ab-
solutely honest in listing your as-
sets, aptitudes, courses passed, en-
joyed or Joathed, and relationships
with people. Personal appearance
counts heavily with a possible
employer, particularly in metro-
politan areas where the ideal of
the “efficient young business wom-
an” is an accepted fact.

In choosing the company, it is
necessary to take into considera-
tion the facts brought to light in
your self-analysis and not even
consider work that calls for un-
mastered or personally uninterest-
ing skills. Spot checking the want-
ads every Sunday will give the job-
hunter an idea of the type of po-
sitions available, where they are,

what they pay, and the qualifica-

tions demanded. The job editor of
Glamour Magazine has a complete
file on such data.

(Most important is to make sure
that the company considered has
good employment policies. Are the
workers happy to be there? Do
they find challenge, opportunities
for advancement, and the kind of
hard work that makes the individ-
ual grow? less it does all these things.

Your first contact with the com-
pany is by your letter of applica-
tion in answer to an advertisement
(unless a friend offers to introduce
you personally). Employment ag-
encies are very fine so long as they
are highly recommended ones.
Above all, use the college place-
ment services because the people
there know you as your friends
and parents do not.

Remember that the letter of ap-

plication should be as business-like
as possible ... two to three para-
graphs in length on business sta-
tionery and handwritten unless you
type expertly. Accompanying it
(or going with you to the inter-
view) should be a resume of your
qualifications and activities, begin-
ning with the most recent.
. ‘When you are given a date to
phone the company for an appoint-
ment, it is to test your “telephone
technique.” Therefore it is a good
idea to organize your thoughts
beforehand .. . . first giving your
mame and where you come from
and ‘next stating your business.

On the day before the interview,
arm yourself with questions and
answers, consider the salary you
wish in order to cover transporta-
tion, lunches, living expenses, and
clothes (though you must not men-

Curriculum Committee
Discusses Speech
Requirement

To the Editors:

The student curriculum commit-
tee has recently been discussing
the present speech requirement.
We must have some student opin-
ion on the subject before we can
go any farther. What we would
like to know is:

1) What do you think is the
purpose of a speech requirement ?

2) Does the present freshman
speech course fulfill this purpose?

3) If not, why not?

4) Should the course be required
or optional?

5) In what year do you think the
students would profit most from a
speech course?

6) Any other suggestions.

We urge you to give us your
ideas. Speak to any member of
the Curriculum Committee or send
a note by camgus mail. to Ann

Expert Considers
UN Developments

The International Relations Club
convened in the Common Room,
Goodhart, on Tuesday evening,
December 9.

The first half of the program
was devoted to a film, “On Larger
Freedom”, presenting the work of
various agencies of the United Na-
tions in their attempts to combat
hunger, illiteracy and disease as
obstacles to world peace.

Mr. Robert. W.-.Sayer climaxed
the evening with an informal talk
about the problem that. the U.N.
was formed not to make peace but
to enforce a peace already well
established, and the split between
Communist and non-Communist
nations. Although the UN has
been unable to solve these two
problems, it has established a pre-
cedent by taking steps against
aggression, a precedent which may
avert future aggression.

Two other problems await UN
discussion and decision in the com-
ing months. In the Union of South
Africa, many Indians share with
African natives the injustices of
segregation. In Morocco and Tuni-
sia, growing movements exist for
independence from France and re-
forms of the present administra-
tion. France and the Union of
South Africa say that the UN can
do “Nothing’’, because of the clause
in the Charter which states that
the United Nations shall not in-
terfere with the domestic concerns
of a nation . There is an exception
to this clause, however: if the
domestic crisis is such as to en-
danger world peace, the UN may
take action.

Guests Call Citizen Participation
The Aim Of Workers’ Education

“What is meant by workers’ edu-'
cation?” This was the first query |
answered at the December 3
League tea by Mrs. Ernst Freund
and Mr. Haines Turner, former

tutors at the Rutgers University
Workshop in Workers’ Education
Methods and Techniques. Orig-
inally the Workshop was the Hud-
son Shore Labor School, the result
of an experiment at Bryn Mawr
on women workers’ conditions.

Workers’ education is slanted to
bring the worker to full participa-
tion in his union and his commun-
ity —to evaluate problems in his
life as a worker. Mass production
workers take no part in company
decisions; working twenty to thir-
ty’years at a limited job fosters
quite naturally an attitude that
includes no feeling of responsibil-






orkers’ education is a
e job, the position in
society, and how to take part in
society.

What are the limitations of the
job that foster this attitude? Mr.
Turner described his work on the
production line of an automobile
plant in Muncey, Indiana. When
he arrived at the plant, he was in-
troduced to the foreman (almost
the only time he saw him). Other-
wise there was no contact with
plant authority unless pieces start-
ed piling up. None of the men
knew what the operation they
were performing accomplished, nor
where it fitted into the whole.

Today, the Workshop tries to
broaden this resulting attitude
through its curriculum. The group,
averaging around twenty-five with
a scattering of college students,
is prepared in the two-week ses-
sion to carry on the education.
Interested workers are found by
. local committees and usually given
scholarships to attend,

The curriculum includes econom-
ics, studied from the point of view
of where the worker fits in, Eng-
lish, parliamentary law, and pub-
lie speaking. Students carry out
projects of their own choice; one
man last summer learned how to
print a trade newspaper from or-



Norris And Weiser

Lead G.O.P. Group

Bryn Mawr and Haverford stu-
dents interested in the Republican
Party met on December 4 to dis-
cuss organizing an Independent
Republican Club. Bud Weiser of
Haverford and Jane Norris, of
Bryn Mawr, acted as chairmen,
and explained the type of group
it will be. The club will not have
a direct affiliation with the Re-
publican Party, as the Young Re-
publicans do. Rather than just a
party implement, it will be an or-
ganization interested in promot-
ing good government through fair
politics, concentrating especially
on the Republican party.

The prime purpose of the mem-
bers of the Independent Republi-
can Club will be to form a set of
principles which they believe the
Republican Party ought to follow
and arouse enough interest in
these principles to integrate them
with the main party’s resolutions.
The members hope, with these prin-
ciples, to eliminate the corrupt
factors in the Republican Party,
and thereby strengthen it. They
plan to begin with local politics
and continue on to state politics,
and, if the idea is successful, na-

ganizing the Workshop project,
another learned how to conduct a
meeting, not as parliamentarian,
but as leader. Outside speakers
on civil rights complete the pro-
giam.

Closely coordinated with the
Workshop is the Labor Education
Association of America whose
Philadelphia conference was held
on December 6. Three or four such
conferences are held a year, at
which college students are most
welcome and may attend free. The
Association also takes workers to
the United Nations, attempting, on
a small budget, to strengthen the
union and the sense of citizen re-
sponsibility.

In closing, Mr. Turner called the
union a necessary step toward
democratic participation an d
stressed the importance of the
labor movement’s role in world
peace.

Any students interested in either
the summer Workshop or the As-
sociation should contact Phyllis
Tilson, chairman, League Commit-
tee on Workers’ Education Pro-
gram. &

Technique Effects
Enliven Production

by Caroline Warram, ’55

From the moment the lights
dimmed in the Hedgerow Theatre,
and the beating of a drum off-
stage and the voice of the sooth-
sayer opened the production of
Julius Caesar, the importance of
the stage effect was evident.

The ingenious use of simple fa-
cilities made the staging of the
play outstanding. The stage of
the Hedgerow Theatre lent itself
very well to the production of the
play. The two side entrances
with two levels were employed to
give more flexibility to the stage.
The action, however, was not con-
fined to the stage, for during the
mob scenes players ‘were scattered
in the audience. This gave the au-
dience the feeling of being a part
of the mob in ancient Rome.

The lighting achieved eerie ef-
fects in the scenes dominated by
the supernatural. In the scene in
which Caesar’s ghost appears to
Brutus, only a red light was
shown from above to signify the
presence of the ghost on the stage.
If a member of the audience chanc-
ed to look about him, however,
there was a grotesque shadow cast
by Brutus’ own figure upon the
walls and ceiling.

‘When, im the opening scene, the
soothsayer singled out the con-
spirators in his warning to Caesar,
the lights went on one by one to
reveal each person as his name
was mentioned.

The acting, in general, was good.
Although at times one might not
agree with the interpretation of a
specific character, the actors were
competent in rendering their own
interpretations of the parts. Un-
fortunately the company was
small, forcing some players to
take several minor parts. At times
this was so obvious that it was
difficult for the audience to -make
the transition from one of the char-
acters to another, later portrayed
sby the same person.

The main characters, Caesar,
Brutus, Cassius, and Mark Antony
were well done. Joseph Gistirak,
who played Brutus, showed under-
standing for the conflict in the
mind of Brutus. He spoke his lines
beautifully, and delivered long



tional politics.

Canon Bryan Green concluded
nis visit to Bryn Mawr Wednes-
aay evening, December 3, with a
necessarily brief discussion of the
cnrisuan Life. He spoke in the
uatusic Room of Goodhart as “a
Unristian trying to get something
said about the Christian Life.”

Although it is possible to have
a tormal! religion amassed through
upbringing and education, any re-
ligious experience must begin with
an encounter with God—an en-
counter by which the individual
knows that he “has come in con-
tact with God, and that God has
become living for him.” This en-
counter can assume three differ-
ent forms: first, a crisis or revela-
tion; secondly, an effort of trial
and error on the individual’s part;
thirdly, a long-range knowledge,
through background or education,
which finally “slips over the line”
from friendship into love. And
finally, the encounter is effective
in three ways: it is definite; it is
conscious; it is life-changing.

There is always an element of
mystery about an encounter with
God, for something from outside
the world penetrates our atmo-
sphere. The man who has found
God has his life set towards God;
his life has direction and is com-
parable to the wind. Oneg God
is at the center of a man’s life as
the hub within the wheel, an en-
tirely new element of spiritual
power takes possession of that
man,

Canon Green drew to a close by
enumerating “nine marks of the
Christian Life”.

1. It is a life of Certainty, be-
cause the encounter with God
makes you certain of Him.

2. It is a life of Communion, an
ever-deepening relation with God
praying and reading the Bible.

8. It is a life of Fellowship in
the Church.

4. It is a life of Freedom, for no
absolute rules of conduct have
been laid down by Christ, but
rather a set of ideals laid down by

whom Caesar might reasonably
fear. (When Cassius was on the
stage, his presence was always
felt, sometimes with the result
that the audience’s attention was
distracted from the other charac-
ters.

Mark Antony, on the other
hand, was portrayed by Michael

straint. He was always the agent
of Caesar’s revenge rather than
Mark Antony the hero. Although
his delivery of the oration at Cae-
sar’s funeral was not the poetic
one to which“one is accustomed

great speaker.

Certain scenes were very well
done. Notably the murder of Cin-
na, the poet, )was quite impressive.
In a very short scene, the ruthless-
ness of the mob was terrifyingly
represented. The whispered words
“I am Cinna the poet,” closed the
scene with one, final touch of dra-
matic skill.

Another scene which revealed a
sense of the dramatic, was that in
which the conspirators washed
their hands in the blood of Caesar.

Kahn with a great deal of re-|

Mr. Kuhn Explain
Between Leisure

A new member of the Bryn
Mawr Mathematics Department,
Mr. Harold Kuhn, lectured on the
“Theory ot Games: Science ot
Poker, Dueling and the Family
sudget” at tne tirst meeting of
sigma Xi on Friday evening, De-
cember 5th in the Chemistry lec-
vure room,

‘fo the unenlightened, the title
may appear to include unrelated
subjects under an unusual heading.
1o the contrary, as was demon-
strated, the theory of games is ap-
plicable not only to parlor games
but also to war and economy. Mr.
Kuhn gave a brief summary ot)
the origin of the theory, its appli-
cation and a glimpse into its fu-
ture. :

There are several similarities be-
tween games like poker and the
stock market. In terminology one
speaks of playing poker and of
playing the stock market. There
are the common elements of
chance and money, and in both
situations alike the participants
have only partial control.

Recent Development

John Von Neumann, a mathema-
tician, and Oskar Morgensterner,
an economist, were instrumental
in the recent development of the
theory of games. Von Neumann be-
came interested in probing the
elements basic to games of stra-
tegy. Economy theory and game
theory are analagous in certain
respects, and since the former pre-
sents certain complications, Von
Neumann found it preferable to
work on a theory of games. Work
had been done previously in the
field of probability related to
games of chance like dice or rou-
lette, i.e. games in which the par-
ticipants have no control over re-
sults, but Von Neumann’s work
concerned games of strategy in
which participants exercise some
control.

Mr. Kuhn first considered the
game of matching coins between
two players, where all the money
lost by one player is won by the
other. Each player has several
coins and may show either side of
any one coin in each matching.
Each person wants, of course, to
find the best scheme for maximiz-
ing his winnings or at least min-
imizing his losings. The unknown
element is what the opponent will
do. These problems of maximizing
and minimizing are different from
those familiar in the calculus, and
Mr. Kuhn outlined the method of
setting up the problem, and he
then solved it by means of a
graph, for a given situation.

The theory of games was then
applied to a noisy duel between
two men, each of whom has a gun
containing only one ‘bullet; the

This is the Season, indeed. But
in the process of college living,
there are many ‘ pin-points in
which the giving heart is manifest.

There is the joy of a friend who,
after a vacation, comes first to

and Economies

duel is noisy in that each man will
hear the report if his opponent
shoots. The men approach each
other and as the distance between
them decreases, their probability
of success (i.e. of killing the op-
ponent) increases. If one man
shoots very early and misses, he
is as good as dead, for his oppon-
ent will walk right up and kill
him; if he waits until they are
quite near, his opponent may draw
first and kill him. Each man, then,
wants to know at what distance
from his opponent he should fire in
order to maximize his own prob-
ability of survival. This then re-
duces to a maximation problem as
in the previous example, and its
importance may readily be seen if
one substitutes tanks or airplanes
for the duelists and considers stra-
tegy in warfare.

Because he believes that the
theory ‘of games will become an
important tool in solving economic
problems, Mr. Kuhn offered as his
last example an economic one.
This was an account of the house-
wife’s attempt to feed her family
the daily requirements of certain
minerals in the form of two
cereals; with prices what they are,
she naturally wanted to minimize
the cost. Given the daily require-
ments of the minerals in question,
the amounts contained in each
cereal and the price of the cereals,
Mr. Kuhn then explained how to
solve the problem of finding the
best combination of the two
cereals so as to minimize cost and
to satisfy the body requirements.
The housewife is thus playing the
of minimizing her cost
against thes producer trying to
maximize his profits. This prob-
lem also, when considered in a
broader and more serious vein, ‘s
an important economic one.

The above situations, however,
all involve only two people. At
present a Newton of the theory of
games is awaited who will develop
the theory in general and in par-
ticular find a method of solving
problems involving numerous par-
ticipants.

attribute was his bearing on the
stage. Although he was consist-
ently slow on his cues, his delib-
erate walk, his settled physique,
and his typically English wit were
delightful.

His son, a stuffy man whose life
centers around politics and furni-
ture, was adequately played by
Robin Nevitt. He was much more
effective praising the virtues of his
newly acquired chair than making
stilted love to his wife. One just
wished that those scenes would end
quickly, so that Lady Kitty, Lord
Porteus, and Clive could reappear.

Mary Lee Culver as Elizabeth,
the heroine, produced a striking
contrast to Lady Kitty. In one
sense this was good, in another too
bad. She was supposed to be
fresh, young, beautiful, and ro-
mantic just as the not yet disillu-
sioned Kitty had been thirty years
ago. This she was in appearance
with her natural poise, her almost

But the second contrast was in
acting skill. She was quick with
her lines and her voice was par-
ticularly appealing, but some of
her speeches fell flat, especially in
the scenes with Teddy Lutton.
This, in part, is because of the in-
tensity with which she acted.
There was only a slight degree of
difference in her emotional, roman-
tic power throughout, while the
play called for warm relaxed sin-
cerity as well as emotional tor-
ture, t

Nick Mabry as Teddy Luton,
the hero, also did not vary his in-
tensity. He appeared as if he
were trying very hard, too hard,
and did not seem to be the person
for the glamorous role. His Brit-
ish accent was rippingly appalling,
and his quick, run-together, abrupt
sentences were just not those of
a hero, not even one in the F.M.S.
He did one thing, however, amaz-
ingly well. He was a perfect con-
trast to the artificial society in
which he was placed.

is urbane, sentimental at times, for
that is the English character, and
a’trifle unreal.” The urbane sen-
timentality, the mood of the play,
was put across very well, for the
four character parts, which were
instrumental in the effect, were
excellently portrayed. It is un-

fortunate that they were not sup-
ported by a more effective lot of

A.A. and Administration Work Jointly to Provide
Recreational Facilities for Students on Campus

Continued from Page 1

The plan, almost since the Barn
was acquired, was to convert it
into a recreational hall.

This year, by the end of October,
the final plans of the interior had
been drawn up. The Barn consists
of one large room, with a very
high ceiling. The big room is to
have a large, open, stone fireplace
where marshmallows, popcorn, and
other goodies can be roasted. The
floor of the room is to be of flag-
stone, which will be attractive as
well as increase the insurance
against fire. A wide picture win-
dow, which will look down over
the hockey fields and tennis courts,
and four other windows will make
a very bright room. The walls
will be left unpainted, and will
probably be varnished later. The
lean-to walls at one end are to be
knocked out, making a place for
open air picnics. There is a cel-
lar room under the other end,
which will be left as it is for an
equipment room.

If everyone will consider the
recreational facilities on campus
for just a moment, she will realize
how desperately the Applebee
Barn is needed for additional
space. The college has expanded
so. greatly during the last decade
that the rooms in Goodhart no
longer fill the bill. Saunder’s Barn,
where picnics and parties used to
be held, is now an antique of the
past and hasn’t been used for four
years.

The Athletic Association wants

to stress the fact that the Barn is
not just a place for athtletes. It
will be used by all organizations,
but even more important, it will
be a place open to everyone, where

they can just go and relax, smokeyf’

read, play games, or do whatev
they desire to do. Probably, but
this will have to be worked out
later with the Administration, it
will be open occasionally in the
evenings. The Barn will be great
fun, and certainly is needed by all.
Therefore it concerns every stu-
dent on campus.

The A.A. is organizing and run-
ning the construction with Mr.
Smedley, Miss Howe, Mrs. Paul,
and the rest of the Administration,
but it needs everyone’s support.

Financially, there is still a large
hole in the dike. Due to the great
generosity of Miss Applebee, the
A.A. was fortunate to have $300v
to start off with, which covers most
of the work and the electricity.
$700 is still needed to pay for the
fireplace, and $300 for decoration
and furniture. Later after the
main work is done, it is hoped that
Work Weekends can be organized
to do additional jobs, such as
planting, building an outside oven
and a walk to the door, and paint-
ing. Wendy Ewer has been chosen
by the A.A. Board to serve as a
coordinator for these projects.

The A.A. has undertaken to
raise the needed $1000, and hopes
that the main balance of this will
come from class gifts. All contri-
butions will be gratefully received,

Arthur Meets His Doom,
Still Lost in Indecision

Continued from Page 1

“This won’t do,” said their captain,
“T’ll send out scouts to search for
a new home.”

In the night the scouts came
back and said they had found an
fold coop of a barn where there
would be room and board for them
all. At once the captain gave the
order “Form in line!” All the rats
crawled out of their holes and
stood in a long line. To Arthur
the old rat said coarsely “Of
course you are coming?” ‘Well,
I don’t know,” replied the young
rat .calmly, “the roof may not
come down yet.” “Well,” said the
wld rat, “we can’t waic for you to
join us. Right about face! March!”
And the long line marched out of
the loft while the young rat watch-
ed them. “I think I’ll go tomor- .
row,” he said, “but then again, I
don’t know; it’s so nice and snug
here.”

That night there was a big

crash. Down came beams, rafters,
joists, the whole roof.
’ The next morning it was a foggy
day. Some men came to look at
the loft. They thought it odd that
it wasn’t haunted by rats. But at
last one of them happened to move
a board and he caught sight of a
young rat, half in and half out of
his hole. Thus the shirker had his
due.

thought about. This refers to ar-
ticles of furniture, and other ob-
jects that would be nice to have in
the future. The Undergrad Board
has started this off by offering one
of the pianos from the Rumpus
room.

N.S.A. Clarifies Policies ;
Meeting Regards Future

change of ideas and information
possible and emphasize the im-
portance of campus awareness in
international affairs.

On the Educational level, NSA
offers the Bryn Mawr student the
challenge to protect the “educa-
tional community” where for her a
“cooperative sharing of curiosity
and information as a constant ex-
perimentation with ideas, values
and social forms” actually exists.

NSA’s concern with Academic
Freedom, Faculty Course Evalua-
tion, Student Discount Service and
Human Relations all interact to re-
alize the objectives of this com-
munity.

On the Student level, NSA rec-
ommends the continual critical
evaluation of Student Government
and offers concrete suggestions
and methods for improving it
wherever and whenever necessary.

Most Bryn Mawr students rec-
ognize that the relationship be-
tween NSA and the individual stu-
dent government is vague. There
is a great need to define this re-
lationship in order that NSA will
actually be “the student voice on
the national and international lev-
el” and will actually stimulate and
improve democratic student gov-
ernments.

Thus NSA and YOUR STUD-



ENT GOVERNMENT has been
chosen as the basic theme through
which to present NSA to the as-
sembly.

Representatives from eighteen
colleges and universities and ob-
servers from many other non-
member schools will convene Fri-
day night, December 12 for the
first session which will be address-
ed by Leonard Wilcox, Vice-presi-
dent National Affairs, USNSA.

Mr. Wilcox, recognizing the need
to present NSA in practical rather
than idealistic terms will center
his address around “NSA and
John Q. Student,” in an effort to
make the student’s identification
with NSA a personal one.

In accordance with the NSA
stand, reaffirmed at the August
1952 National Convention that “on
campus, NSA is student govern-
ment,” and with the recognition of
student government. as the basic
functional unit of NSA and the in-
dividual student as the basic unit
of student government, this need
to define and evaluate NSA at the
grass roots can easily be recogniz-
ed. NSA can only benefit individ-
ual campuses by implementing its

}programs and relaying ideas and
‘information on all phases of stu-

dent life through an effective stu-
dent government organization. iIt
is the responsibility of the NSA
coordinating authority to channel
these programs and ideas through
the proper organization so that



they may be brought before the
individual student who must be
aware of NiSA’s functions, purpos-
es and concrete benefits.

The actual agenda for the meet-
ing is as follows:

All workshops are specifically
designed to discuss the problem of
what NSA has become and its rela-
tion to student government using
an educational, international or
student affairs approach. We look
forward to the short range results
of making recommendations for
formulating policies and programs

As the meeting draws nearer
and as one regards NSA idealisti-
cally and practically, the crisis this
assembly faces seems more critical
than ever before. If, in taking ad-
vantage of what NSA offers—the
opportunity to meet together, the
declaration of certain basic poli-
cies and principles, the exchange
of information and ideas, the over-
all reflector of problems facing
students as students and the stu-
dent voice in national and interna-
tional affairs, we succeed in mak-
ing you see NSA as it is and not
some glorified picture of the or-
ganization, then we hope that you
will feel as we do—that NSA is
more necessary than ever before.

“always smoked Chesterfields in college just like
my friends” says New York secretary, Elizabeth
Lydon, “and here in New York it seems like almost
everyone smokes them.”

= AND NOW- CHESTERFIELD FIRST

TO GIVE YOU SCIENTIFIC FACTS
IN SUPPORT OF SMOKING



A responsible consulting organization reports a study by a
competent medical specialist and staff on the effects of smoking
Chesterfields. For six months a group of men and women
smoked only Chesterfield—10 to 40 a day—their normal amount. .
45 percent of the group have smoked Chesterfields from one to
thirty years for an average of ten years each.

At the beginning and end of the six-months, each smoker was
given a thorough examination including X-rays, and covering
the sinuses, nose, ears and throat. After these examinations,
the medical specialist stated . . . :

“It is my opinion that the ears, nose, throat and acces-
sory organs of all participating subjects examined by me
were not adversely affected in the six-months period by
smoking the cigarettes provided.’

Remember this report and buy Chesterfields... regular or
king-size.
