Sherwood Asks
Today’s Youth
For Leadership

First Alliance Speaker
Stresses U.N.

| In Future

The first speaker to address the
student body in a series of lec-
tures brought to the campus by
the Alliance for Political Affairs,
was Robert Sherwood, noted play-

wright and political thinker who
selected, on Tuesday, October 16,
the subject, Rearmament, Moral.
ity, and Peace. “Seldom has the
human race been confronted by
such an appalling mess as _ the
present state of the world,” said
Mr. Sherwood. “Faced with the
possibility of unutterable calamity
in the atomic era”, he continued,
the United States has a choice of
two evils, disarmament or re-
armament, both pointing to war.
Stating that he was not a pessi-
mist, Mr. Sherwood confessed his
condition of “utter bewilderment”,
and devoted his remarks to an
attempt to discover the reasons
for the contemporary predica-
ment.

Quickly reviewing the history
of the twentieth century, Mr.
Sherwood pointed to the tremen-
dous advances made in_teehno-
logical, scientific, and sociological
fields. “The generation of. our
parents”, he observed, “has seen
more history than any other gen-
eration”, and accordingly, “has
had to forget many of the basic
principles” learned when it was
young. With this in mind, Mr.
Sherwood could not blame the
older people who are “fossils”,
rather than “menaces”, to the
world.

In discussing the second World
War, Mr. Sherwood does not con-
sider Hitler responsible for the
chaos which oqcurred, but calls
him a “manifestation rather thar
a cause of the times”. Drawing
a parallel between Hitler and
Stalin, he thinks of the latter in
the same light. Neither is fear
the perpetrator of the evils of the

USF Distribution

On Monday evening, October
15th, the college Legislature met
to discuss and vote on the char-
ities to which the United Service
Fund should be donated. The
slate proposed by the USF com-
mittee was as follows: 25% for
the World Student Service Fund,
15% for the Friends’ Service
Committee, 10% to the United
Scholarship Service and Fund for
Negro Students, 10% to the Cru-
sade for Freedom, 5% to the
United Fund of Philadelphia, 5%

to the Red Cross, 5% to CARE,
5% to the “Needy Colleges Fund”,

and 15% to the USF Reserve
Fund.
Lita Hahn, chairman of the

USF, clarified to the Legislature
the reasons for the proposed slate.
She first said that the committee
felt that in allotting percentages
for this year’s drive the empha-
sis should above all be on mate-
rial aid to fellow students, This
explained the percentages to the
USSF, CARE for books, the
“Needy College Fund”, which in-
cludes aid to four specific college

funds, and the USSFNS. Also, the
committee tried to pick charities
that engaged in projects to pro-
mote understanding as well as of-
fer opportunities for instructive
service, such as the Friends’
Service committee. The third
major aim of the USF this year is
to get behind the Iron Curtain
with such agencies as Radio Free
Europe, which the Crusade for
Freedom supports. The CARE
packages are to be directed to
Korea, if possible; if CARE can
not assume Korean delivery, the
packages will be sent to the coun-
try in the greatest need at the
time. It was also felt by the
committee that since Bryn Mawr
students are a part of the Phila-

Miss Northrop Notes Developments

And Requirements

Economic development was the
topic discussed at the second lec-
ture of the United Lecture Series
on October 15 at 8 p. m. in the
new Y.W.C.A. of Philadelphia in
dedication of the sixth anniversary
of the U. IN. The principal speak-
ers were Dr. Mildred Northrop of
Bryn Mawr and Mr. Arthur Gold-
schmidt from the U. N. Technical
Assistance Administration.

Dr. Northrop introduced her ad-
dress, “Economic Development in
the World Economy” by defining
the term economic development as
being planned policies for induced
change in the direction of increas
ed production and higher stand-
ards of living in those countries
lagging behind other nations in
their general development.

The necessity to bring other
countries up to a higher standard







in World Economy

of living is not only a result of
their contact with the advanced
western development but is also
a requisite for these western coun-
tries if they are to continue to
progress. The interest of the west-
ern world should be directed to in-
crease the productivity and to de-
velop the usage of the raw mater-
ials in the backward countries
which in turn will prove beneficial
to those nations providing help.
Induced changes can be brought
about by application of capitalis-
tic methods of production, that is,
a round-about economic system
which utilizes tools, machines, and
technical knowledge. One of the
principal dangers of induced
change is that these new tools and
techniques will have too much of
a rapid revolutionary effect on

Juniors Focus on Hocus-Pocus





by Paula Strawhecker, °52

Out of the wormwood of “Amer-
ican collegiate gothic” rose, last
Saturday night, a new two-week
wonder, The Happy Medium, pre-
sented by the class of 1953. Brush-
ing the ivy from their locks. for
the second and final theatrical ven-
ture as a class, the Juniors all
gazed into their crystal ball, con-
jured up melodies and presented a
sprightly version of a swami con-
vention in Philadelphia.

The Juniors had a lot to live up
to. Their Freshman Show was a
musical delight and if some of
this show’s songs were reminis-
cent, it was only fitting that they
be reminiscent of The Last Resort.
This class still has many people
who sing very well, and this is
one reason why their shows are
superior. In one opinion far and
away the best song this time was
“All You Need”, sung with style
and interesting innuendo by Ron-
nie Gottlieb, a most beguiling Hex.
It seems a pity that she was not
given at least one other good song
and some better lines on which to
exert her magnetic powers.

The clever melody of the “Wives
Song”, explaining the plight of the

potentate’s four wives (Kent, Van
Meter, Sonne and Wasser) also
deserved mention. The veto refrain
of “We See Red”, delightfully
mugged by Bell, Limbaugh and
Hrazdilova, added topical interest
to the mystic proceeding.

Mary Lee Culver, in the difficult
role of a sweet young thing, han-
dled her part with finesse. She
sang “Written in the Stars”
beautifully, and the P. A. sys-
tem lent an air of sadness and
distance which was appropriate to
the moment. Corrie Voorhis pre-
sided over the convention as Chief
Potentate, and Jane Martin was
properly confused as a normal hu
man. Bobbie Dieter fluttered
about as chaperone (it was quite
appalling to see her poor beastie
round her neck in the last act!)
and yo-yo spinner Mary Kay
Cooper ‘proved heaven-sent as the
dark horse Disaster. Cynical
magicians Glenn and Greer were
excellent in their “Split Your
Vote” song; one would have liked
to see more of their teamwork.
“What Price Success” was a rous-
ing Pennypacker special and Poli-
ticians Lindau and Pennypacker
brought down the house with their
duet and impromptu” intermission
antics. The audience loved them;
they were highly amusing and
often beneficial to the show. How-
ever, scene-stealing can also be
damaging, as was unfortunately
evidenced in the “Counterpoint
Song”. A play is a play—we
know that—but is it a good policy



constantly to remind the audience,
of that fact, thus sometimes de-
stroying pleasant illusions and, in
this case, detracting from a fine
song. Judy Leopold and Jane
Norris had no trouble convincing

Nurses’ Aide Program
Urged for All
Students

Dr. George Wagoner, head of
civilian defense health services in
Montgomery County, will speak
in the Graduate Center at 5:00
p-m., Monday, October 22. He
will describe the “Nurses’ Aide
Program for College Students,” a
modified plan of nursing train-
ing to prepare for any possible
emergency.

He plans to outline to the
College his views on the serious-
ness of the situation we will face
during. the next few years, and
the great need for cooperation

Because of the present world
crisis, the college program for
civil defense is more important
this year than ever before. The
Committee for Civil Defense, has
been working for several weeks
to plan and organize the ways in
which we as a college can help
in the general Montgomery Coun-
ty program. There are three spe-
cific things which we are able
to do that have been worked out
so far.

The most important of these is
the training of students to be
nurses’ aides, so that the college
can be turned into an auxiliary
hospital for the care of minor
cases in case of an emergency. To
make this program successful,
everyone should take the nursing
course who is not needed for la-
boratory work. Since the regular
Red Cross Nurses’ Aide program
requires 80 hours of classes and
internship which would cut consid-
erably into a student’s time, Dr.
Humeston and other neighboring
doctors plan to present a modi-
fied shorter version cf the pro-
gram which will take only six-
teen hours. Haverford students,
it is expected, will be trained to
serve as litter-bearers and to do
the heavier work in an emer-
gency.

Registration of Skills

The courses will include 10
hours of lecture and 6 hours of
demonstration and will be held in
the Graduate Center Gymnasium.
Two simultaneous courses will be

the paintings betray a certain pre-
occupation with craftsmanship,
and the almost oriental delicacy of
detail provides prolonged fascina-
tion for the viewer. Mr. Janschka
remains attached in most of the
paintings to what he has evolved
as his particular mode of mood
communication, that is, flowers,
faces, water, and the somewhat
sinister foreshortening of arms,
legs and facial features. He ex-
cels when he keeps to his own
style, that of evoking faces, sea
life, leaves or the like from a wash
background. His continuous lines,

Civil Defense

Next Monday, Oct. 22, at 5:00 p. m., Dr. George Wagoner,
who heads the civilian defense health services for Montgom-
ery County, will speak to the College on its proposed role in
local preparation for emergency. To some, the idea of civilian
defense is an unpleasant reminder of the early 1940’s; others

believe strongly that a program of so-called “defense” is too
closely related to re-armament, and that re-armament is a
means which cannot possibly produce favorable internationa!
‘results. To the large number of foreign students on campus,
the existence of defense plans must seem a basic contradic-
tion of the United States’ declared aims. In the face of these
convictions, it is difficult to make clear the important reasons
.for our strong support, in terms of time and effort, of the
county civilian defense program.

Here are those reasons: the county needs to be able to
use the College as a 2200-bed hospital in case of emergency.
It must have the services of many people trained in routine
nursing and laboratory techniques. Bryn Mawr College can
—and must—contribute its effort to the community sur-
rounding it. A training program which asks two hours a
week for two months, a total of sixteen hours, has been set up
on campus; Dr. Wagoner’s speech next Monday evening
marks the first meeting, although no one who. goes to hear
him talk is committed to take the course. Registration of
all students’ skills will start shortly. It is hoped that all those
who do not undertake to learn laboratory technique will do-
nate sixteen hours to learn the fundamentals of nursing:

Civilian defense preparations must not detract from the
educational process which makes the most significant long-
range contribution toward the goal that is uppermost in
everyone’s mind: peace, security, and understanding among
all nations. Laboratory and nursing training have been de-
scribed by Miss McBride as “a necessary supplement” to our
present college activities. There must be no panicky distrac-
tion from our thoughtful attempts to analyze and under-
stand what is happening to the world, because ultimately it
is this thoughtfulness which will bring about the positive
reconstruction so greatly needed everywhere. Possibly some
students will have to forego their lesser extra-curricular ac-
tivities, but it should not be impossible for anyone to budget
her time so that two hours a week can be given to the com-
munity defense training. It is not lost time as far as the in-
dividual is concerned; this training will enable her to help

any sick person she may encounter under any circumstances.
__ We must remember that we now have a two-fold duty:







Letters to

Will, Bianca Wear Red?|

‘ How is; Mulligan?
‘Asks Sprague
To the College News:

Many questions are on my mind,
and I am hoping for answers to
some of them from your readers.
How, for instance, is the Hockey
team making out? and is Miss
Mulligan stopping all the easy
shots as well as the hard ones?
Are the seopide doing Othello,
and if so, who is Desdemona? and
will Bianca wear the notorious
red dress? (I could go on and on).

But we have reached the golden
city of Valetta, and this a good
moment to look back. It was a
great summer for Shakespearean
playgoing, and I got in seventeen
different productions. Best of them
all seemed to me The Winter’s
Tale, with Gielgud quite at his
peak as Leontes and Flora Robeson
a notable Paulina. Then there was
an Old Vic Henry V, lightly and
brightly staged, with the costumes
and banners a delight to the eye
and the verse beautifully spoken
by Alec Clunes. Some of you will
be seeing the Oliviers in Antony
and Cleopatra and may be surpris-
ed at the excellence of Vivien
Leigh as Cleopatra and perhaps a
little disappointed in Sir Laurence
as Antony. Most people like their
revolving stage (I came to wish
that its ostentatious mechanism
might break down, just once, but
that’s almost irreverent!). And at
Stratford, we had good produc-
tions of both parts of Henry IV,
and a dreadful Tempest, all ballet
girls and Christmas candles.

To the Editors of the College

‘Our academic colleagues may
be interested to learn that. a pub-
lic opinion poll, conducted |Satur-
day, October 18, among a repre-
sentative sample of the student
body drawn from all four under-
graduate classes and the graduate
school, indicated that “nothing is
of such basic importance to the
teacher as: ‘manly bearing’, ‘man-
ly mien’, ‘human capacity’, person-
al behavior’, ‘respectable charac-
ter’, well-bred deportment’, ‘re-
spectable station’, ‘human failings’,
‘his own lectures’, ‘his people’s
support’, and ‘human endurance’!”
Since those interviewed almost
without exception rejected the no-
tion that a humane attitude—
menschliche Haltung—was import-
ant to the teacher, we have felt it
our duty to be guided by this over-

The Cause Is Just

With the beginning of the college year comes, along
with the arranging of schedules, and assuming extra-curric-
ular responsibilities, a plea for funds. Under the last cate-
gory, the United Service Fund is one of the prime considera-
tions presented to the student body. It is not fair to be ask-
ed to give without knowing why or to what you are giving.
With this in mind, the United Service Fund Committee calls
a meeting of the college Legislature to allocate the funds to
the proper channels, and promulgates the results to the stu-
dents at large.

From the experience of past years of giving and from in-
formation received by the chairman of the USF committee
about worthwhile causes to which student aid should be giv-
en, the Legislature votes on the percentages allotted to the
various charities. Among these is the “Needy College Fund”,
a comparatively new charity, which seeks, independently of
the Care for Books, to help those universities abroad most
devastated by the results of the last war, as well as colleges
at home in dire need of aid. The institutions selected this
year are Tsuda University, Japan, Hiroshima University,
Japan, Athens College, Greece, and the United Negro College
Fund which helps Negro colleges all over the United States.

The reserve fund is an especially important part of the





USF drive. The money which is held in reserve goes to emer-

gency charities which present themselves during the year
and which the committee is unable to foresee. In the last
year, Bryn Mawr was able to aid the drive for grain to India,
something which all of us felt was necessary.

Literature about each of the organizations benefited by
the USF is posted on the Bulletin Board outside of Room D
in Taylor, and a representative will soon be around to ask
for your support. The worth of these charities is self-evi-
dent. The USF asks that you give to the utmost.

Current’ Events
Peace Treaty Revision
Gives: Germany
New Role

“Monday, October 15, 7:15 p. m.
Common Room. Dr. Gilbert gave
the current events lecture on Ger-
many’s-New Role. After every war
a new constellation of powers de-
velops, and there’is a revision of
the existing peace treaties. In
Germany, this revision is begin-
ning even before the peace treaty
has been completed, because of the
need for integrating Germany with
the European defense plans. To do
this, Germany, western Germany
in particular, must be given equal
status with the other nations in-
volved in defense plans in order
for us to maintain a consistently
democratic policy. On the other
hand, a final treaty cannot be
drafted until Germany is unified,
without risking the loss of the
eastern German territory.

Further objects of the revision
are 1) to restore authority to the
German government to handle its
own economic problems, 2) to re-
nounce the undemocratic veto
which the Allies possess over ac-
tions of the German (Government,
3) to arrange for Germany to
make a monetary contribution, as
well as a military one, to Europ-
ean defense, 4) to come to an
agreement concerning the occupa-
tion forces in Germany, and 5) for
the allied powers to retain an in-
fluential measure of control.

Economic Change

‘While in Germany this summer,
Dr. Gilbert noted that a new era in
the German economic situation is
developing. Immediately after the
war the need for reconstruction
was so great that there was little
conflict between employer and em-
ployee and cooperation was pro-
nounced. Last spring the metal
workers’ strike, the first great
strike since 1945, ushered in a new
era of conflict. This situation has
been further aggravated by the in-
flation caused by re-armament
which induced scarcities and un-
employment resulting from immi-
gration from east Germany and
from behind the Iron Curtain .

The most pronounced psycholog-
ical fact which Dr. Gilbert noted
was the subjective approach of
most German people to world
events which do not affect them.
Although the German people are
unconscious of this attitude, it is
reminiscent of Nazism, as are the
revival of military organizations,
the flourishing of extremely na-
tionalistic right wing political
parties, and mounting dissatisfac-
tion with the occupation.

On the other hand, there has
been real interest in parliament-
arianism, integration with other
European nations, and emphasis
on recovering eastern Germany by
peaceful means. The government
is being squeezed by political
pressures from both sides and is
in danger of being forced to act
too rapidly. The two most import-
ant ways for the Allies to main-
tain control are 1) to end the bu-
reaucracy of the occupation and
2) to refrain from yielding to Ger-
man nationalistic pressures those
policies which we consider essen-
tial.

LAST NIGHTERS

Top Banana Parodies
Vicissitudes

Of T.V.

Especially contributed by
\ Linda Bettman, 52

Top Banana is a fast-moving,
hilarious musical comedy razzing
tel@vision. Phil Silvers’ leading
role, that of Jerry Biffle, Top
Banana, is parodying Milton
Berle, I am told, even to details
abqut his mother’s skill at Can-
asta in the Essex House. Top
Banana is the name given the
lead comedian in a_ byrlesque
show and lends its name to the
two funniest spots in this mus-
ical. The first is tne song “Top
Banana” in the first act in which
Jerry, assisted by his barber, his
delicatessen waiter, and his writ
er, explain to his young singer
just what Top Banana is. The
song is riotous and has incorpo-
rated into it by brilliant timing
some of the oldest and funniest
jokes there are.

In the second act the program
lists a Top Banana Ballet. Bal-
let is hardly the word I would
have chosen. Jerry, who thinks
he has lost his contract in tele-
vision, reminisces that he can al-
ways go back to being Top Ban-
ana, and his old act is given a
quick run-through, complete with
genteel stripper and out-of-step
chorus.

. All Comedians Outstanding

The music, and the lyrics are
Johnny Mercer and you would
have known it anywhere. © The
love lyrics are not outstanding—
pleasant,
but the patter songs are a de-
light. Besides “Top Banana”, “A
Word A Day”, a duet by Jerry and
a rather raucous-voiced Rose
Marie, discussing broadening
one’s vocabulary, convulsed my
Bryn Mawr sense of humor. The
rather tender and awfully clever
“You’re So Beautiful That—” I
recall as outstanding, Also Rose
Marie’s “I Fought Every Step of
the Way” is funny, if more so to
girls than men (as with “Can’t
Get a Man with a Gun”, there are
some things that boys just don’t
know about).

The sets by Jo Mielziner and
the costumes by Alvin Colt are

outstanding in slick attractive-
ness. They are original, amusing,
and fitting.

The plot is musical comedy,

frothy and complex; just hold on
to the fact that the lead is rather
conceited; add the new campaign
for Blendo Soap, the romance, the
retinue and the contract renewals,
and then you have Musical Com-
edy Plot.

‘The cast is, without exception,
capable, handsome, graceful, and
amusing. Except for Phil Sil-
‘vers, a real comedian for my
money, loud, vulgar, perfect tim-
ing, sense of humor that goes
way over the footlights—it is dif-

Michels Lends Aid
To Air University

by Anne Phipps, °54

The NEWS went to see Mr.
Michels of the Physics depart-
ment to find out about one of his
extracurricular activities, adult
education through television. Mr.
Michels, who is the college repre-
sentative on the committee in
charge of the “WFIL-TV Univer-
sity of the Air’, said that last
year’s successful program is now
being continued and improved.
Some twenty-three colleges from
the Philadelphia area take part.
Each college selects certain of its
each professor
then chooses his own subject mat-
ter and organizes it as he wishes.
The program lasts from 11:10
a.m. to 12 noon, Monday through
Friday. There are ten lectures a
week, two each day. The courses
are progressively more difficult,
but none are overwhelmingly tech-
nical. This year, the first “se-
mester” will run from Oct. 8 to
Dec, 21, and from Jan. 7 to Feb.
Bryn Mawr is not currently
participating, but is likely to do
so in the second semester, start-

Last winter, Bryn Mawr, Hav-
erford,
presented “Our Ties With Other
Cultures”, as a part of the WFIL-
TV experiment. Mr. Michels, Mr.
Dryden, and Mr. Sloane all lec-
tured in this series, and Miss Mc-
Bride joined with presidents
White of Haverford, and Nason
of Swarthmore in a discussion of
television and education,

Public response to the “Univer-
sity of the Air’ was extraordin-
arily great. Over 1,500 letters
were received, unsolicited. “Thank
you,” wrote one woman, “for giv-
ing the housewife credit for hav-
ing enough mental ability to un-
derstand something besides soap

Film Forum Plans
Descriptive M ovies

Duririg the next few weeks, thé
newly-founded “Film Forum” will
offer cinema-minded Bryn Mawr
students a chance to see four mov-
ies showing problems and achieve-
ments in America and abroad. The
films, presented on Oct. 18, Nov. 2,
Nov. 13, and Nov. 27 respectively,
are: “The Grapes of Wrath”; three
descriptive pictures of the United
Nations’ work; “The River”, a
documentary about the Mississippi
in its relation to the nation’s econ-
omy, shown together with “Picture
in Your Mind”; and finally, “The
Quiet One”. With the sponsorship
of the International Relations Club,
Students for Democratic Action,
and the United World Federalists,
the movies will be presented, some
in Goodhart and some in the Com-
mon Room, for only thirty-five
cents each.



Sparkle-Scattering Magicians Convert

Rock Hall Into Glittering Crystal Ball

by Frances Shirley, °53

The magic of the Junior Show},

was afterwards carried over to

Rockefeller and the Crystal Ball.
It was the sort of magic that
could transform chicken wire and
cheesecloth into a sparkling en-
trance way, lit by soft lights. In-
side, stars glittered where glaring
dining room lights had been, and
from the ceiling hung a ne
ball that had been nothing “more
than a few rolls of cellophane and
some wire a few hours before.
There was even an effort to effect
some magic in the direction of a
new piano for the hall, and small



change from well-wishers splashed
into the wishing well.

In spite of the effort to replace
it, the old piano was doing its
share as part of the three-piece
orchestra that seemed capable of
playing any tempo the dancers
could want. Couples crowded the
floor, and always there were
groups of people sitting in the
smoker or besieging the refresh-
ment table. Remarkably enough,
or maybe it was by good planning,
there was enough food, for a
steady stream of cider and fruit
punch came from the kitchen,
along with bowls upon bowls of

Good Games

The First Team game was excit-

very evenly matched. At the end
of the first half the score was tied
1-1, and then late in the second
half Bryn Mawr scored again, and
continued to win by the score of
2-1. The two goals were made by
Judy Thompson and Phoebe Al-
bert. The Second Team game was
good, but Bryn Mawr definitely
outplayed Beaver. The final score
was 3-0, the goals having been
made by Barbara Jones and Emmy
Cadwalader.

Both teams played extremely
well, particularly since Beaver had
a head start of three weeks before
Bryn Mawr began practice. There
was evidence that many hard
hours of practicing had been put in,

Fairfield Osborn
To Talk Tuesday

Next Tuesday, Oct. 23, Fairfield
Osborn will speak at 8:40 in the
Music Room of 'Goodhart. Mr. Os-
born is President of both the Con-
servation Foundation and the New
York Zoological Society, and is
author of the best-seller, “Our
Plundered Planet”. ‘His subject on
Tuesday will be “Conservation and
You’, and he will show the tech-
nicolor film “Yours Is the Land”
which, out of a field of some 355
educational films, was chosen as
one of the ten best of 1950.

The Conservation Foundation,
which was founded by Mr. Osborn
three years ago, is becoming in-
creasingly important. Its inde-
pendent research programs in-
clude a survey on soil erosion,
studies of world population prob-
lems, work concerning the devel-
opment of marine resources (in-
cluding the possible conversion of
salt to fresh water), and planning
for the development of ‘Alaska. In
the field of education, graduate
courses in Conservation have been
established at Yale and Harvard,
handbooks are being printed to aid
study at the pre-college level, and
a number of motion pictures and
tape-recorded radio programs are
available or soon will be.

Mr. Osborn is a witty and com-
pelling speaker. When he presides
at the annual meeting of the New
York Zoological Society, the big-
gest ballroom at the Waldorf has
to be rented two nights in succes-
sion, because so many people want
to hear him. But he brings a ser-
ious message: that through Con-
servation it is not only beauty but
life itself which must be preserv-

New SDA Chapter

of Students for Democratic Action
held its first meeting of the year
Tuesday, October 9, in Rhoads
showcase to formulate plans for
the coming year.

First on the agenda was the
election of Lynn Weinstein as sec-
retary to aid president Alice Hart-
man.

Included in their activities is the
maintenance of the Film Forum in
conjunction with the Internation-
al Relations Club and the United
World Federalists.

The theme of the 1951-52 SDA
work is “Operation Free Thought”,
the awakening of the public to the
problems of civil liberties which
surround them day after day and
yet often go unnoticed.

The Bryn Mawr College chapter

Barnes Expounds
U.N. Peace Tools

At the first of a series of lec-
tures on the UN, Mr. George
Barnes, Political Officer, Depart-
ment of Security Council, discussed
the United’ Nations Peace Machin-
ery. He was followed by Dr. Ben.
F. Carruthers, Social Affairs Of-
ficer, Division of Human Rights
who talked on Human Rights. The
meeting was held on Wednesday,
October 10, at 8:00 p. m. at the
YWCA in Philadelphia.

Mr. Barnes’ talk summed up the
accomplishment of the UN in
regard to peace. He stressed the
fact that UN machinery itself is
not to blame for the ‘congealing
influence’ of the cold war. The Ko-
rean situation finally precipitated
action by the majority in the UN.
The principle of unanimity had
failed. A resolution was adopted
|which strengthened the power of
the General Assembly to act on
peace and security. It enabled the
Assembly to meet _on the twenty-
four hour call of any seven mem-
bers of the Council. A peace ob-
servation commission was estab-
lished, which provided the basis
for action in Korea. A collective
measures commission was formed,
which surveys possible peace meas-
ures: of political, economic, so0-
cial and military character. The
measures suggested have been as
follows: 1) political: appeals to
parties within the country where
threat of war exists; determina-
tion and denunciation of aggress-
ors; collective cessation of diplo-
matic relations; suspension or ex-
pulsion from the UN. 2) economic
sanctions (very difficult to en-
force): embargoes, particularly on
‘arms; severance of communica-
‘tions, etc. 8). military: appoint:
ment of an executive military au-
thority by the states directly in-
volved in the breach of: peace.

Amalgamation Suggested

It has further been suggested
that the atomic energy commission
and the armaments commission be
merged, for it is hoped that from
this new combination some ap-
proach to the problem of arma-
ments might result. Mr. Barnes
pointed out that without the UN
the question of armaments would
probably not even be discussed.

The processes of conciliation of
the UN have been used with good —
results in a long series of delicate
situations.

In Indonesia the UN brought
about a cease fire and led the ne-
gotiations which resulted in the
independence of Indonesia; it con-
tinues negotiations in Palestine;
its influence stabilized tension in
the Balkans and Kashmir . In Ko-
rea the UIN carried on a success-

American Student Abroad in France

Must Adjust to “New” Ways of Life

By Patricia Murray, ’52

The extent to which a student
living in a French family is able
to come in contact with the
French society around her varies
greatly with the particular cir-
cumstances in which she finds
herself. Perhaps the fact to which
the student finds it hardest to ad-
just is that of her being a for-
eigner: those around her are sub-
ject to other laws, other economic
and social pressures than those
to which she herself must con-
form. She will find that she is
not a student in the same sense
that her French contemporaries
are, since leisure for study costs
more in France that it does here.
She must learn to take the
people around her as she finds
them: some of her most satisfy-



ing personal contacts may be very





brief, and may be experienced
with a variety of persons. More
than she would in college, she
will learn to distrust comradeship
which depends too entirely on
proximity.

Her first contact with social
life in France will be at the din-
ner table of her French family.
In general both dinner (in the
middle of the day), and supper
are social occasions in a French
family. Even for a simple fam-
ily meal the food is served in
courses, The working members of
the family come home for din-
ner; supper is served between
seven-thirty and eight. A meal
lasts at least an hour; it must
not be hurried; every one is ex-
pected to make an agreeable con-
tribution to the conversation; in

opera.” Viewers were largely
housewives, but letters came from
all manner of people, including
invalids and night-shift workers.
At the end of its first year on the
air, the program received the A!-
fred I. duPont Award for public
service.

From this year’s list of topics,
Mr. Michels mentioned as _ par-
ticularly interesting: “Face the
Music” (Mon., 11:10), which will
include demonstrations, discus-
sions, and illustrations in musical
composition and _ appreciation;
“The Imprint of a Million Years
of Human Affairs’ (Wed., 11:30),
dealing with man’s heritage and
man’s institutions as he has es-
tablished them and as he fits into
them; “The Conservation of Na-
tural Resources” (Thurs., 11:30),
involving questions of air, water,
land, and life of the lakes, coastal
waters, and forests; and most
especially “How We Got the Eng-
lish Bible” (Fri., 11:30), concern-
ing manuscripts, the Vulgate and
its translations, the Canons, and
texts in use today. These are only
a few of the courses: all those to
be presented are of great interest.
A survey shows that between 15
and 45 thousand people listen
daily.

_ Television Important

Mr. Michels is convinced of the
importance of television in public
education. He confesses that it
is difficult for the professors
to work in front of cameras.
“Because of the timing, you have
to rehearse your lecture just be-
fore you give it. By the time you
go on, it’s like warmed-over
hash.” But he is a crusader, and
undaunted. “If we neglect TV,”
he says, “it will be the same as if
in the sixteenth century academic
people had carefully avoided mov-
able type.”

This being the case, it is hoped
that Bryn Mawr will soon get its
television set.

Even the intermission was de-
lightful, for the Octangle appeared
on the landing, and sang. They
condescended to troop back down
the stairs for an encore, too, and
everyone would have liked more,
but the orchestra started again.

‘When the dance ended, at one
o’clock, there was evidence of its
success, for few of the couples had
departed before the last minutes.
Instead, at the end there was a
rush for the signs of the zodiac
that had adorned the dining room
walls, and some people even pluck-
ed the stars that had framed the
musicians’ corner. It was very like
the story of Cinderella, and it
seemed too bad that at a certain
hour everyone had to depart, and

ful enforcement action.

Mr. Barnes’ conclusion was that
the UIN has functioned remarkably
well in the present political con-
text.

Dr. (Carruthers, who spoke on
Human Rights, described the draft-
ing of the International Bill otf
Rights by representatives of 56
countries. Although no nation lives
under it, member nations of the
UN now have the moral obligation
ito live up to the standard prescrib-
ed by it; the Bill can be invoked to
measure the standard of rights in

UN Talk to Trace

Secretariat’s Work

Mr. Solomon V. Arnaldo, repre-
sentative of UNESCO, will head a
program including a showing of
United Nations documentary films
at the YWCA in Philadelphia.
Preceding it, an international din-
ner in honor of United Nations
Day is scheduled for 6:30 p. m.
on Wednesday, October 24. A
number of distinguished visitors
from other countries have been
invited.

The last lecture of the series of
four on the UN, to be held at 8
p. m. on ‘Wednesday, October 31,
concerns “The United Nations at
Work”, which will be outlined by
‘Benjamin (Coehn, Assistant Secre-
tary General of the United Na-
tions in charge of public informa-
tion. The structure, the divisions
of the Secretariat and its work in
carrying out the program of the
United Nations including trustee-
ship are among the points he will
describe.

Groups Represented

Students can attend individua!
lectures for a fee of $.75 per lec-
ture, or pay $3.00 for the series of
four. Dr. Maxine Woolston, Lec-
turer on Economics at Bryn Mawr
College, represents the Public Af.
fairs Committee of the Young
Women’s ‘Christian Association,
which is one of the organizations
on the committee presenting the
United Nations Lecture Series.
Other groups connected with the
Series are the League of Women
Voters, the Women’s International
League for Peace and Freedom,
and the Women’s University Club.

cal and Social Science, Friends

some families one is not supposed
to leave the table before the end
of the meal, or smoke at table at
the end of a meal.

The student, accustomed to relax
in another way, may find the
ceremoniousness of the meal
rather long, but she will discover
that nothing can be more fascin-
ating (or better for her French)
than learning the art of conversa-
tion.

The number of congenial people
the student will meet through her
family depends entirely on the
family and on her relations with
that family. As has been men-
tioned, the student often finds
herself in the home of married
people with grown children, and
in a social milieu of a certain pre-
tentiousness and rigidity, which
rather treats the student politely
than accepts her with warmth.

The custom of “dating” as we
know it does not exist in France.

surprise to many, but those who
watched saw that Bryn Mawr

able to hold the opposing teams
from scoring. The next match is
against Temple, and it is hoped
that Bryn Mawr will continue on
to greater successes after such a
marvelous beginning.

French Contemporaries Prove Hard to Meet;
Knowing Them Essential for Understanding

Young people generally meet in
groups or at parties. They are
quite closely tied to their families
and to social obligations. As a
result an American girl may find
it astonishingly difficult to get to
know young people of her own
age, although she may meet
them constantly in the drawing-
room of her hostess.

Many: Opportunities Open

A student may have the good
fortune to meet people less rigid-
ly adherent to tradition, in whom
she will find greater simplicity in
manners, and less acute con-
sciousness, of her not belonging
socially. Various student organ-
izations in Paris plan group ski-
ing and travel expeditions for va-
cations; these can be great fun.
They are inexpensive, entirely
composed of young people, who
generally develop Jl’esprit de
corps during the time they are
together. Sometimes more satis-
factory friendships can be de-
veloped this way than through
the family. Those students who
lived at the Foyer International
had probably the best opporunity
of all to get to know French
students.

The student should never give
up. the attempt to find ways of
meeting her French contempo-
raries on some common ground,
for in this contact she will find
her greatest happiness and her
deepest understanding of the
country which becomes her home

for a year.

Goldschmidt ‘Answers Miss Northrop’s Speech «
Concerning 20th Century Economic Developinent

‘Continued from Page 1

the culture of the backward na-
tions, The second danger is that
the American people may be dis-
appointed if the results of this ec-
onomic assistance do not create
cultures in our image; but it will
be difficult to impregnate these
countries with our mores. The
western nations must always keep
in mind the ideal of the world as
a whole and help correct what
could be erroneous economic de-
velopment because of strong na
“tionalistic feelings seeking secur-
ity.

Finally Dr. Northrop believes
that the mid-twentieth century is
the point in time in which all the
various changes have come togeth-
er to break down the bars of na-
tionalism so as to produce a revo-
lution in the world.

Mr. Arthur Goldschmidt gave
what constituted an answer to Dr,
Northrop’s explanation of induced
change in economic development.
The job of the Technical Assist-
ance Administration is to close the
gap between what we could do
with our resources and what we
are actually doing. Mr. Gold-
schmidt feels that we need no new
scientific inventions to better the
state of undeveloped cultures but
instead need to use known meth-
ods more fully. To fulfill this pro-
gram, the Administration is pro-
viding experts in all fields of
farming and general economic
training to direct demonstration
programs and instigate training
areas. To provide this missing
link in the economic development
of the world different branches of
the U.N. such as UNESCO, ILO,
WHO, and others are banding to-
gether to meet different aspects of
the problem.

A modest twenty million dollar
budget is used by the Technical
Assistance Department of the UN
to_send some five hundred experts
into areas which come to the UN
for help. Probably the most diffi-





eult problem | is finding experts
who will’ be eympathetic to - the
different needs, habits, ‘and ways
of thinking so that they can work
well with strange people.

An ultimate end of the board is
to guide these peoples until they
in turn can help themselves. The
organization could set a town on
its feet and provide the basis for
its economic development but the
sick must be cured and the hun-
gry fed before this newly built
structure can function.

Though the need for and duties
of the program are very diverse
three basic principles are assum-
ed: (1) Whatever their past peo
ple want to enjoy the basic needs
of life, (2) material improvements
can be made without destroying
cultural fabrics, and (3) improve-
ment of people anywhere is im.
portant to people everywhere. All
these assumptions ultimately rest
on the basic truth that “We are
our brother’s keeper’’.

Sherweed Calls World
Gav’t Ultimate Solution
Continued from Page 1

present day, he continued, since
we are “complacent, not afraid”,
and talk of the horrors of a third
World War leaves us in a “Strange
dull, comatose state”. The world
is not lacking in leaders either,
Mr. Sherwood maintained, “The
breed of humanity is not in de-
cline... We have seen greatness
in our times”, and we have wit-
nessed unselfish foreign policies.
Here he cited the 1941 Lend Lease
Bill, which Winston Churchill has
called “the most unscrdid legisla-
tion ever passed.”

Plateau of Defense

Yet today we are “walking
along a- plateau of defense”, not
knowing where the precipice be-
gins. After the last ‘war Mr.
Sherwood felt that total disarma
ment was the only solution, but
now he knows that disarming and
not helping the Allies, is an “in-
vitation to disaster”. On the other
hand, re-arming year after year
will not bring peace, since armed

truces have always led to war.

In presenting this puzzle Mr.
Sherwood cited the United Na-
tions as the ultimate alternative.
“If the United States could con-
vince the world that with the

particularly in the ink sketches
are what hold the paintings to-
gether; they are sure, sinuous, sug-
gestive, and still, sparse. In one,
a clock-like composition, with fac-
es arranged in a circle, it almost
appears that it was planned to be
mounted on a wheel so that it
would be possible to turn the pic-
ture for still further fascination.

Fascinating Contrasts

The entire collection, however, is
not of frivolous groupings of faces
and flowers. There were two oil
interpretations of Biblical origin,
and two other oils, which seemed
like technique exercises rather than



achievement of World Govern-
ment armament would be scrap-
ped, peace might be achieved,
but,” he pointed out, “the United
States is not convinced of this
itself.”

Mr. Sherwood described his re-
marks to the audience as a “wel-
ter of inconsistencies”, and in con.
clusion, said he looked to the
youth of today for “constructive,
logical thinking, to resolve the
mess that the world is in.”

But in the case of the/
oil painting of two youths with de-
formed arms, one feels that Mr.
Janschka can go further, or else|
that he is influenced by factors
detrimental to the continuation of
his own flamboyantly exciting
style. To see a haunted face peek
out of a leaf, or see a canoe glide
through some watery byway is to
experience the more complete sat-
isfaction of having been permitted
to look in on a magical scene, and
as such, “Rowing on the Moon”,
“New York”, and “Wildflowers,
Virginia” were favorites.

Musical Quality

‘Noticed also in this lovely col-
lection was the musical quality
combined with the sad, mocking
faces of some of the paintings,
and the Western angularity in the
oriental detail. And even in the
awkward deformities there plays a
certain grace, showing the paint-
er’s command of the total effect of
his picture. Above all exists the
imagination that has created these
fascinating pictures—pictures, that
for the most part insinuate, rather

than force themselves into one’s



favor.

civil defense program is a regis-
tration of skills in case of emer-
gency. This will serve as a guide
to what skills, from typing ex-
perience to life-saving training,
can be counted on from the stu-
dents. There is also a need for
knowledge of simple laboratory
procedures.

It is very important for every-
one to cooperate in this civil de-
fense program. The county ex-
pects much of us and we should
do all we can to help.
