Goodhart; January 10. Lt. Charles
G. Bolte, chairman of the Ameri-
can Veterans’ Committee,” speak-
ing in the Alliance Assembly on
Servicemen in War and Peace, de-
lared that GI Bills and personal
adjustment programs would have
no practical value unless a man
can take his place as a productive
member of society, in a world
where’ neighboring countries get
along,-and foreign policy begins
at home. a

Lt. Bolte pointed out that sol-
diiers in the present war are not
politically conscious,| which fact he
attributed to an a rent isolation-
ist background, the failtire of the
army’s orientation course,. ‘and the
hard physical conditions under

Mr. Helson Lectures
Before Science Club
On ‘Color and Space’

Dalton, January 10.

“Color is a visual experience in
which a stimulus affects the eye
and brain of the observer,” said
Mr. Harry Helson, while discuss-

ing the “Interactions of color and:

space” in the first Science Club lec-
ture. Last year Mr. Helson dis-
‘cussed color alone, whith he said is
a much less complicated problem
than that of color and space inter-

_ acting.

Together with space, color pre-
sents some interesting variations.
The traditional view is that color
is the feeling of vision, while space
is the form of vision. The eye re-

Canteen Class Helps
Prepare College Food



The Nutrition Class of twelve
students, held on campus this fall,
under the auspices of the Bryn
Mawr Red Cross unit, has now
‘been completed.

Those students who have taken
this course are now doing canteen
work in the Bryn Mawr kitchens.
They help peel the vegetables, and
also learn how food is prepared in
large quantities. This practical
work on campus is in preparation
for future work in Blood Donor

- canteens and hospital ‘kitchens,

Joy Rutland ’46 is head of this
canteen group, and Miss Howe and
Miss Bacheller have helped direct
the work on campus.

Fifteen students are already do-
ing volunteer work in the diet kit-
chen of the Bryn Mawr Hospital.

- They work in groups of two for
‘two hour’ shifts, morning and

night.

| By Harriet Ward ’48

To those Bryn Mawrtyrs- who
Faise skeptical eyebrows at vege-
table dinners, sniff disdainfully at
chow mein, and hide their meal-
time woes in knitting, Miss Bach-
eller, the campus dietician, can of-
fer sufficient explanation but little
solace. In 1945 students will just
have to remain calm n’ they
hear that “boiled rooSter? is. on
the menu for dinner.

Butter

The meat-versus-butter contro-
versy stood foremost in the dis-
cussion between Miss Bacheller
and the hall presidents last Thurs-
day. It seems that many students
much prefer that the 3840 points
spent for butter each week be di-
verted to items that more nearly
resemblev a juicy slice of roast
beef. Afiter weeks of vacation, the
majority are quite accustomed to
margerine anyhow. But accord-

the hitch comes in. Because Bryn
Mawr is an institution, it must
pay.a_Federal_tax-if-it-serves—col-
ored margarine on its tables, and
if it serves célored margarine

out paying the tax, it must
pay a heavy fine. White marger-
ine is not very palatable, but the
question is still . under ‘considera-
tion.

Shortage

Even if Miss Bacheller did have
an abundance of points to splurge
on meat, Bryn Mawr tables would
still be graced with a preponder-
ance of fish, tongue, and eggs.
Since utility beef was placed on
the ration list ‘in’ December, and
many other point walues were rais-
ed; -she has been completely at the
mercy _ of _wholesalers.._In fact,
sometimes the wholesalers have
nothing, and the college eats sand-
wiches for Sunday supper.

to the dietician some of the -cur-
rent campus grouches along the
food line. It seems that only the
German House is enjoying’ its
breakfast coffee. Miss Bacheller
exploded the theory that left-over
demi-tasse appears on the - break-
fast table. No coffee is ever used
again. As for the flavor, the urns
in each hall are checked regular-
ly. For the interest of midnight
crammers existing on caffein. en-
ergy, the dietician hinted that it
is possible that coffee and tea may
both be rationéd in the near fu-
ture. However, we still would like

experts, who.denounce the number

one meal is compensated for in an-
other that day.

In fact, anyone who has ever

Topic of Theologist
In Series of Talks



A series of three lectures on re-
ligion are to be given at the col-
lege in February by Robert Low-
ry Calhoun, Professor of Histori-
cal Theology at Yale University.



Discussing Basic Christian Doc-
trines, Dr. Calhoun will deal spec-
ifically. with God, Man, and Jesus.

As‘a result of the success of the
three separate. lectures last year
on the’ general subject of religion,
the college has asked Dr. Calhoun
to give this series of informal talks
to be accompanied by discussion.

Moriday nights, February 12, 19,
and 26, at 8:00.

An authority on the history of
philosophy and theology, Dr. Cal-
houn has written articles on sub-
jects pertaining to religious real-
ism, the meaning of the humani-
ties, and religion in the modern
world. He received his undenrgrad-
uate training at,Carleton College
and his graduate training chiefly
at Yale. After’ two years of teach-



ing at Carleton, he became a mem-
ber of the Yale faculty in 1928.

|Dean Discusses
Russia as Power
For Future World

Russia's Attitude Deteriained

~ By Geographic, Economic
Position



“It is essential to understand the
Russians in terms of their own his-
tory,” declared Mrs. Vera Micheles

Dean, ‘in a discussion of Russia as ©
a world power, for the Marion Ed- '~

ward Park Lecture Fund. Russias:
attitude, Mrs. Dean feels, is large-

ly determined by her geopraphic ~

position and her economic develop-
ment. ;
Sea Route .
Russia is an immense continent
whose interestS geographically
range from Europe to Asia. She
is virtually land-locked, for all her
openings to the sea are controlled
‘by gnother, usually hostile, power.
Russian-relations-with the outside
world before 1917 were a long
series of aftempts to gain some
relatively unrestricted opening to
the sea routes of the world.

This history of conflict —
utes to a rather contradictory Rus-

sian attitude towards the outside
world. First, the. Russians feel an '

eager curiosity about conditions .

outside their borders; but when
this ‘interest reaches a certain
height of participation in foreign

| affairs, the Russians are suddenly

seized with a fear of European
hostility to their country, and they
retire again into their isolated
state. This revulsion has always
been accentuated by the Russians’
feeling of inferiority about their
lack of industrial development. °

Industry

Russia’s economic situation has
been the second great problem in
her development. She has been con-
sidered as a semi-colonial state, an
agricultural nation .whose - great
production of raw materials would
make her a ready market © for
western industrial products. Her
industry has been- confined, until
recently, to railroads and _ public
utilities, plus a few firms produc-
ing minor civilian goods. However,
all of this industry was financed by

foreign capital, owing to the fear

prevalent among’ Russian land-

owners that any sizeable proletar-

iat would endanger their economic

control of the country. Russian

Proverbial Stork in Foster Parent Guise
Presents Denbigh, Pembroke with Children



by Rosina Bateson ’47

The possibilities of becoming ¢
parent, or rather a foster parent,
have been pressing heavily upor
.Pembroke and Denbigh. The uni-
versal question of “will it be a boy
or a’ girl?” has caused many heat-
ed arguments, with the additional]
problem of whether “it” would be
three or thirteen; French, Italian,
Spanish or English.

Choice Made

The proverbial stork, in the
guise of the foster parents plan
for War Children, has now pro-





duced the hoped-for results: Pem-

while Denbigh has a thirteen. -year\.

Conscription

The President’s message asking for the conscription of
4 F’s and nurses comes at a time when there can be no furth-
er delay in the complete mobilization of the nation’s resourc-

es to meet the exigencies of war.

It is hoped that the new

-Gongress, has. been sufficiently affected by the tremendous
setback suffered by the Allies on the western front to take
immediate action on such legislation.

The drafting of 4 F’s would mean the total conscription
of manpower in the United States while the drafting of ‘civ-
ilian nurses would still leave millions of women not partici-
pating in the war effort. The demand for -nurses is indeed
the most critical problem to be considered now but there is
also a great necessity for the registration of all women. An-
other year of war might mean that industry, governmental
agencies, and the women’s services would be as urgently in

need of women as hospitals are now.

-The delays involved in

the passing of a second service act would be avoided if a
registration law, such as exists in England, were passed this
year. Immediate action could then be taken to draft women
for any branch of the war effort where they are needed.
But however remote may seem the possibility of-a serv-
ice act for all women, legislation for the conscription of
nurses seems immediately forthcoming. If adequate meas-
ures had been taken sooner to recruit nurses ifstead of rely-
ing entirely on volunteers, the critical situation that exists

would never have developed.

Reports of conditions in hos-

pitals abroad and..at home show that the lives of wounded
men are seriously endangered by the lack of adequate care.

Increased military operations on all fronts demand the serv-

ice of all graduate nurses and the training of a great many

more.

While we as college students will probably not be affect-
ed by a conscription law, we must assume some responsibil-
ity in aiding the war effort. This can best be done by becom-
ing nurse’s aides in order to release nurses for overseas duty.
With careful planning, a great many more students can find
time for such vital and necessary work. A second nurse’s
aid class will open in February and it is imperative that there

be a large registration.

A new Nurses’ Aide ies will be
offered to Bryn Mawr students
starting the second week in Febru-

strongly to consider taking the
course so that you can be trained
Aide before the end of the. new
semester.

An appeal was made to’you last

_new and weighty reasons why, girls
who, would not have thought, of it
‘at all should seriously plan to be-
come trained Aides now. The
President’s message described the
‘shortage of nurses in the military
hospitals, and the proposed bill to
draft civilian nurses, makes the
shortage of nurses that was before
critical now appear drastic.

We have been.restless, wanting
to be really useful when others are
sacrificing. Now’ where we are
needed is obvious. We, as women at
home, have been asked to be ready
to assist. over-worked doctors and
nurses in caring for the sick. Not
only are we needed to help release
nurses for the fronts.and_for—vet-

age becomes increasingly severe,
we as trained Aides will be invalu-
able to our communities and to our

C uctent Ce



Common Room, January 15. Miss
Robbins presented a summary. of
the-important, military and politi-
cal events of the week in the Cur-
rey?t Events discussion, pointing
to Senator- Vandenberg’s speech.as
outstanding in the domestic, news.

The war front news in general,
Miss Robbins said, is excellent. In
the Pacific, the capture of Luzon
marks an important gain, leaving
Tarlac and Manila as the immedi-
ate objectives. Some reports in-
dicate that they will fall by Janu-
ary 26. The capture of Ahiau. and
the advance. to. Mandalay are so
significant that it is thought that
the road to China will be free for
in-going supplies by the end of
the week.

In western Europe the best news
has been that thé weather has
cleared, making possible great al-
lied air gains. It is probable, Miss
Robbins stated, that the battle on
land will move much more quick-
ly in the days to come. The most
dangerous situation-on the western
front at the moment is that at
Strassburg, although it seems to be
nearly under control. General
Patch’s intention to hold the town
is of vital importance because of
its effect on the French morale.

The chief ‘event of the week is
the Russian offensive, which, ac-
cording to the Germans, is being
felt at three separate places, in
General Konev’s push south of
Warsaw, and in the drives into
Czechoslovakia and Budapest.

In the political news, the Polish
question has come into focus once
more., Meanwhile, the Czechs are
handling their political affairs by
themselves and the reports from

country wants to be left free to
settle her own problems and to be-
come a™peaceful republic.

Senator Vandenburg’s speech
represents a reversal of his own
stand on isolation, and undoubtedly
that of a great many of his party.

The Senator gave as his reason
the desire to prevent the European
allies from thinking that America
will walk out on the peace and its
problems.

tion has colored the whole Soviet
industrialization policy. In the face
of much ‘human s& pring caused
by their dncie bier efforts they
have effected the establighment of
a large heavy industry without the
assistance of foreign capital. This
war has given the Russians a
chance to prove both to themselves
and the rest of the world that they
are no longer a backward country,
removing any cause for a feeling
of national inferiority.

Two Aims

Russia at present, said Mrs.
Dean, has two primary aims, orie
immediate, the other long - term.
The first of these, which isto the
Russians a far more crucial mattér
than to the: Allies, js to win the
war as soon as possible, to prevent
any further losses: of
The second, which is Russia’s post-
war policy, is to gain some sort of
security from future German ag-
gression.

Security

This latter problem is approach-
ed in two ways: first, through the
medium of an international organi-
zation possessed of effective pow-
ers; or second, the Russian’s: will
pursue their end by the- creation of
a security ploc’ of annexations ‘or
of friendly governments on their
borders. Until the Russians are
convinced that we will make the
international organization an ef-
fective force in world politics, they
will continue to organize this
“cordon sanitaire” on their western
approaches.

“It is my conviction that the
Russian .system is a system which
will have little influence on the
countries of the western world
which have had experience with the
concept and practice of \private
property,” said Mrs. Dean. The

| Socialism Proved No Panacea

In ‘The Road to Serfdom’
By Hayck



By Nancy Morehouse °47

Professor Friedrich A. Hayek of
the London School of Economics
interesting
book, The Road to Serfdom. This
book is intended as a warning to
‘all socialist-minded -liberals who
have turned to socialism as a pan-
acea for the ills of the world. Mr.
Hayek presents the basic thesis
that all centralized awthority leads
inevitably to totalitarianism. He
offers two gloomy alternatives:
submission,/to the personal contfol
of a planning authority or
impersonal rule of the market. He
admits of no middle road in the
future, :

His spectre of the planned soci-
ety is truly awful to behold: all

aims.are subniftted to the direction

of the master plan, and all discrep-
ancies are eliminated. The status
of each citizen is fixed and immut-

. able, and society becomes a static

organization. Because of the ne-
cessity for unanimous agreement
and expert direction of the ‘plan,
democratic political apparatus is
quite useless. Since the plan has
become identified with the ultim-
ate happiness of society and since
all social_action. must be directed
towards its furtherance, western
standards of morality cease to be
valid as a criterion for human ac-
tion.

Alternately, the free state under |.

the control of the impersonal mar-
ket presents a vista of happy ex-

' istences. Unfortunately for Mr.

®

Hayek, it is here that he comes to
grief. In order to be a truly free
society, this state must be free of
all centralized control. Yet Mr.
Hayek is too much of a liberal to
deny that the unrestricted opera-
tion of the “seemingly irrational
forces of the market” tends to
create abuses which in the inter-
ests of the individual must be elim-
inated as far as possible by gov-
ernment action, which necessitates
centralized administration to be
effective. Furthermore, these reg-
ulations must be enforced by legal
decisions which are the product of
human effort.” This control, the
necessity of which is admitted by
Mr. Hayek, introduced the con-
trary elements of centralized au-
thority and personal control into
Mr. Hayek’s freé society, invalidat-
ing either the concept of a free
society or the, basis thesis of the
book.

Despite this error in judgment,
the book is valuable as a thought-
provoker op the problems we are
facing, and) it does have one valu-
able lessor for all socialists: that
concerted htman effort in pursuit
of a specific aim seldom achieves
its end.

Exams Bring Back Memories of Troubles
Encountered by Self-Gov’t in Gay Nineties







Examinations draw near, and
papers leave us gasping, with pen-
cils permanently clenched in our
cold, dying’ fists. - Facetious fools
have again begun to- advocate a
bar in Taylor and the awarding of
pensions ‘from Self-Government
for the wounds incurred from the
battle of trying to remain an ipso
facto somebody or. other. Always
aiming for the bright side of
things, the News presents a survey
of ‘the. indignities imposed on past
generations. of Bryn Mawr stud-
ents.

It was in regard to the question
of dress that the board was really
severe with our simple sisters of
the gay nineties. “No fancy dress
shall be worn in the dining room.”
On Sunday morning “students shall
not go off campus before dinner
without hats.” Worst of all owas
the ruling which read: “No men’s
clothes, bathing capes or bloomers
shall be worn by the students on
the campus or in the public parts
of the halls at any time without
being completely covered:” Stud-
ents were compelled to wear their
“hair hanging only when securely
tied or braided’: and to. be other-
wise neatly dressed.

The question of chaperoning was
a crucial one. ‘Theatre etc., in the
evening with a man is decidedly to
lbe chaperoned.” —-Teas in ‘the hall
had to “be very carefully chaper-
oned”, and Broad Street Station
was .the Only place where a stud-
ent might lunch or dine in town
unchaperoned. As a great conces-
sion it was admitted that “through
courtesy of their hostess” students
may ‘be forced to break chaperon-
age rules, but, this act of leniency
is followed closely by this stern
if somewhat naive sentence: “Go-
ing away-from college with the ex-
press purpose of breaking a rule is
directly contrary to the spirit of
the association.”

A rather different spirit is shown
in the rule which reads: “Flowers
or branches may not be taken in

large quantities from the surround-
ing country without direct permis-
sion”. We. have vainly puzzled
over the origin of this—has the
aesthetic sense of Bryn Mawr be-
come less keen in the last thirty
years so that we no longer tear
madly into the environs in search
of blooming decorations for the
room, or did.the rule become un-
necessary with the advent of
Jeannett’s ?

‘Smoking when it first became
prevalent was a major ‘college
problem. After many pages of
pros and cons (mostly cons) it was‘
decided that smoking could not. be
permitted since it was “practically.
veny disagreeable”, filled the cor-
ridors with smoke (cigarettes were
apparently powerful in those days)
and gave the college a “bad name”.

In the midst of all these puri- ie

tanical laws, we came across this
rule which surprised, amazed and
caused tis to wonder sadly where
it had gotten lost in the course of
the years:

“Students must not serve wine
in any form to guests and also
students may not drink wine to-
gether except in the single case of
two room-mates”.
