‘HAMS Pinafore’
Maids and Porters Act
With Enthusiasm,

Gaiety

by Betty-Bright Page ’49

Goodhart, May 1.—The Maids’
and Porters’ prdouction of the Gil-
bert and Sullivan operetta, “H. M.
S. Pinafore” was a complete suc-
cess. As is usually the case with
any Gilbert-Sullivan show, the au-
dience shared enthusiastically in
the antics of the actors. This sym-
pathy between the two was espe-
cially marked Saturday night; it
certainly contributed to the full en-
joyment of the evening.

It is impossible to name the star
of the performance, and this is how
it should be. The parts were ex-
tremely well-balanced and all were
handled equally efficiently. Though
the second act was consistently
better than the first, the entire cast
worked together to produce the
gaiety of the whole. When the
curtain opened, the sailors’ chorus
was relaxed and at home on the
stage; all seemed thoroughly fa-
miliar with sailors’ knots, rigging
and, later, the hornpipe.

Buttercup
Little Buttercup, Dorothy Back-

‘ws, sang her first solo in a typic-

ally melodic Buttercup way; even
the sailors were impressed. Roll-
ing her eyes coquettishly, she add-
ed to the liveliness of the chorus
and the other leads at all times.
Carl Smith, in the part of Ralph
Rackstraw, warmed up to his role
rapidly after the Nightingale Song,
which he sang in a clear, melan-
choly voice. Then the gallant Cap-
tain made his grand entrance, one
equalled only by the Honorable Sir
Joseph Porter, Louis White.

The off-stage singing of the
chorus in Over the Bright Blue Sea
was one of the high spots in the
operetta. Their Gaily Tripping was
likewise excellent, and prepared the
way for Sir Joseph’s entrance. Be-
plumed and well-braided, Louis was
the epitome of a visiting dignitary.
His casual gestures, his use of the
telescope and his snuff immediately
endeared him to the audience. His
booming voice proved him the “rul-
er of the Queen’s navee.”

Josephine, Jane Harris, was per-

Stephen Spender
Talks on Modern
Poetry, Reality

“What is the modern writer’s re-
lation and function to modern so-
“Is there such a great
difference between the modern poet
and our society than any other poet
and his particular society?” Thése
are a few of the questions that Ste-
phen Spender discussed in his lec-
ture on Modern Poetry and Modern
Reality, Thursday night, in Good-

hart. The distinction between the
old and the new poetry exists in
the use of the vocabulary, explains
Mr. Spender, for we consider as
poetic those words, subjects and
forms which the poets of yesterday
used, simply because a poem has
already been written about them.
The problem of the modern poet
is a perennial one of trying to re-
late contemporary poetry to a con-
temporary age. To a certain ex-
tent, the poet is concerned with
creating a language and forms
ae will enable him to write eas-
ily about the realities of life which
seem important to him today. How-
ever, as Mr. Spender points out,
that which seems important to us
is far more unpoetic than what
was important in the days of
Wordsworth, who wrote of moun-
tains, lakes and peasants. One as-
pect of this problem may be to try
to bring poetry back to life (in one
age it was nature, in ours indus-
try), and to produce music in
words which are familiar to us and
a part of our real lives, i. e., steam
engines, atomic bombs and cars.

ciety ?”

Unpoetic Images

Mr. Spender says that even after
making the images of our poetry
familiar to the reader, he still feels
that it is unpoetic. He points out
that the reason lies in the differ-
ence between the old and the new
world. In the part up to the 19th
Century, people were able to pro-
ject into material problems certain
values which made these institu-
tions significant to them, and ex-
pressive of the moral struggle that
they found in life. Today, man is
not able to identify these functions
in the world with the moral strug-

gles which he feels are significant

to him. In other words, Spender
explains, within the Elizabethan
life there was a symbolism which
was poetic in itself, and therefore
could be transferred easily from‘

NEWS Editor Hopes to Fulfil
Gym Requirement Hunting Bears

by Barbara Bettman ’49

If. you haven’t passed your
French. oral, beware!.._Next-fall’s

NEWS may be written entirely in
French, since Betty-Bright Page,
new editor, will begin her second
year in Wyndham in the fall. Al-
though she presumably will live in
a single room, ornate Waldorfian
plans are in progress to have three
in a double-room and spare sitting-
room. Qui a un canape-lit?

An ex-Pem Wester, B-Bright
headed the Maids’ and Porters’ car-
oling at Christmas. She is in
charge of the Wyndham Bookshop,
which reasonably prosaic job she
varies by occasional bear hunts.
(She actually goes every Thanks-
giving and last year was on a trip
where one was shot. “They are
persimmon bears, which come up
from Virginia and are very fierce,”



she explains; “they killed two bear-
hounds last year.’’)

Betty-Bright becomes one of the
few NEWS editors who can really
sing, and perhaps the only soprano
on record. This Double Octetter
has been on the NEWS since the
fall of her sophomore year, and on
the Board since that spring. She

possesses the uniquely unpleasant |

distinction of having lived in New.
Orleans eight years and never hav-
ing seen a Mardi Gras. Besides
completion of her’ French major
next year, she has also one term
of sports requirement and may
thus become the only athletic
NEWS editor in history!

Her plans include an effort to
keep trying for more accuracy; to
keep the NEWS in a light vein
when possible; lots of features—
and personal coverage of Mardi

Gras!

Stassen Leads
Poll on Campus

The opinion polls on presidential
candidates which were distributed
around the halls last week were
returned by approximately thirty
per cent of the student body. Of
these 40.3% were voters, and 59.7
per cent non-voters.

The statistics on students’ opin-
ion as to who: would make the best
president are as follows:

Stassen—42.2%
Vandenberg—16%
Wallace—13.1%
Dewey—4.4%
Eisenhower—4.4%
Taft—3.4%
Douglas—2.9%
Truman—1.4%
MacArthur—1%
Marshall—.5% ,
Undecided—10.7%

People chose Stassen for almost
all the reasons listed, except that
few believe that “he would reduce
the high cost of government
through efficient administration.”
Vandenberg rated especially high
for his “wide knowledge of inter-
national affairs”, 93.9% of his
supporters offering this as a rea-
son. In contrast, Stassen obtained
a rating of only 69%, Wallace

May Day 1948

The significance of May Day has changed considerably
since the Elizabethan fertility rites. The world has taken it
out of the farm into the factory; the politicians have taken it
out of the factory into the banquet hall. It seems only re-
grettable that the traditional May 1 Eighth Avenue parade
of the workers in New York should have been “rivalled” by
an “Americanism” demonstration on Fifth Avenue. Unques-
tionably the larger audience on Fifth Avenue must have over-
joyed a certain group of people—the group which seems to
think that “worker” and “Communist” are synonyms.

Our observance at Bryn Mawr is still unadulterated;
more than a “suburban sacre du printemps”; here it is an
observance of the beauty of spring on the campus, of the
beauty of spring itself with its eternal rejuvenescence.

Here we have a chance to look clearly at the world about
us. We have a chance to decide for ourselves what is right,
unaffected by speechmakers or the more insidious form of
propaganda which are about us every day now. Let us re-

member as we dance about the maypole that the world is with
us, and on this May Day in a tragic turmoil. The future is
ours, but not for the asking.

Ivory-Towered Voters &

In-the recent-campus poll on presidential candidates only
thirty per cent of the student body returned ballots. Is this

an indication that Bryn Mawr has retired to its ivory tower?
Are we too wrapped up in our own narrow world to realize
that even a ballot which indicates indecision is better than no
ballot at all? |

We are usually the first to,agree with lofty generaliza-
tions such as that people who fail to vote in an election are
neglecting their civic duty; yet we fail to express our share
of the public opinion which is necessary to support an elec-
tion campaign. One of the candidates named in this sum-
mer’s party conventions will be our President for the next
four years. Therefore, given the opportunity to register our
Opinion on the names to be presented at these conventions,

we should do so.

Ada Klein Reads
Mayday Speech

(Mayday morning began with

words of traditional Bryn Mawr
cheer, a gay “Good morning! Isn’t
this fun?” from Senior President
Ada Klein. Apparently noting a
disheartening lack of response, she
continued with words of consola-
tion: “If you think you had to get
up early, think of Miss McBride.
When the seniors go to wake her
up, she has+to issue forth clothed
and in her right mind... That
takes at least one hour, six cups
of coffee, and a very strong will.”

After dispensing these gracious
compliments, Miss Klein proceed-
ed to explain to the eager college
the origin of the rite in which they
were so joyfully participating.
“But don’t be nervous,” she added
hastily, “I am not going to give
you Dr. Herben’s. explanation.
You’re too young. I’m too young.
If you want the real goods, just
make an appointment... ”

It seems, according to Miss
Klein’s version, that our May Day
is only a tame edition of an old
Spanish festival, which was noted
for its national songs: “Come Las-
soes and Lariats” and “Oh Dear,
What Can the Matador.” The hero-

ine of the piece is the simple sen-

orita, Saint May, who lived in the
little village of Brina Mara (“. ..
although it is now spelled in the
Welsh to match everything else
around here.”) ‘Anyhow, “...
Saint May ... was starting out on
a picnic one day with a young
peasant from the village. They
had with them a cold roast chicken,
some deviled eggs, and a flask of
tequila. This, because of the con-
servative opinion of Brina Mara,
they had cleverly concealed in a
wicker basket of flowers.”

* Who should come up but the
priest. “My God,” said Saint May
reverently, “ I hope the Padre
doesn’t spot our tequila.” The sit-
uation was naturally tense, but a
miracle intervened on the young
saint’s behalf: The tequila was
suddenly changed to strawberries.
_ “Of course this incident raised
a big stink in Brina Mara,” con-
tinued Miss Klein candidly. Should
they hang Saint May for carrying
a flask, “whch absolutely no nice
girl could ever do,” or canonize her
for the miracle? Naturally they
did both, and the brave Bryn
Mawrtyr died\ singing “Manana—
tomorrow, pajama—tonight.”

Poets’ Responsibility

real life to poetry. In our modern
life we can’t find clear symbols
which we can treat in this way for
there are few functions in our so-
ciety with moral values, and which
represent the moral struggle with-
in man. When we try to crystal-
lize our age with concrete symbols,
our situation becomes baffling and
impossible.

‘Therefore, Mr. Spender contin-
ues, our real problem is not to ere-
ate idioms of modern life, but to
find symbols in our way of life to
which we can attach values, and
thus make our age. significant to
us. Thus, we can explain the
whole of modern poetry in terms
of a search for values which has
extended in all directions—spirit-
‘ual, imaginative and social.

In concluding, Mr. Spender ex-
plains that the responsibility of the
poet is imponderable. He feels that
it is neither to be responsible for
mankind, nor to be completely free
of all responsibility. However, he
does feel that a real moral respon-
sibility on the part of the poet does
exist, and therefore, that poetry is
a real moral activity.

lovely daughter of the captain. Her
lines were handled beautifully, and
her voice had the clear, delicate
tones necessary for the role. Her
duet with Ralph Rackstraw at
the end of the first act was memor-
able. The blend of voices achieved
there was really outstanding.

The captain’s solo in the second
act was likewise very good, and so
was.the duet with Buttercup which
followed. Al may be credited with
a fine all-round performance in his
part. In this act the whole cast
seemed enthusiastic and _ living
their roles. This is necessary in
order for Pinafore to be a real suc-
cess, which it was. Even in the

was eaten raw by a band of hun-
gry sophomores ... Of course the
whole thing was hushed up by the
trustees, but Big May Day has
never been held since.”

Arts Night Spectator
Gives “Unbiased”

Annotation

To the Editor:

Please find enclosed an annotated
copy of the NEWS, sent in by an
outside reader who attended Arts
Night. By the same reader is the
following commentary:

“Enclosed please find a copy of
the NEWS, with the important
items underlined. I wouldn’t want
you to miss this issue, come what
may. It shows that the girls at
BMC are too mature for words,
and besides just simply intellec-
tual. Bettman, Cave, Townsend,
and Holborn, with all their mag-
nificent background, mellowed by
a timeless sense of stability and ,
intimate knowledge of the Arts,
certainly are well qualified to
write critically on any culturak
pursuit. It’s positively amazing
that girls who are so young have
such a wealth of understanding
and experience to draw from. I
can only withdraw, when reading
their poignant critiques, into a
great sense of my own inade-
quacy.”

This, as an unbiased, outside view
should be published in your opin-
ion column.
Sincerely,
Lucia Rogers ’48

a
Merion Concert
e e -@
Will Aid Drive

Tuesday, May 4th, will be the
date of the second annual Merion
concert, to be held this year in
Wyndham, from 9 till 10 P.M. The
program will include piano music
as well as singing. Ann Inman
will play several classical pieces;
Cynnie Schwartz will also perform
on the piano, but in a popular vein.

The Double Octette will sing
Oranges and Lemons, an English
folk song: I’m So Glad Trouble
Don’t Last Always; Grandma
Grunts, a North Carolina Mountain
song; and two Kentucky mountain
songs, I Wonder When I Shall be
Married and the Riddle Song. All
these, Arts Night and Penn Con-
cert-goers have heard before, and
should be delighted to hear again.

The Quartet will sing Honey
Dear, Embraceable You, I Want to
be Ready, Lover Man and My
Sweet. Cokes will be served fol-
lowing the program.

The concert is being given for
the benefit of the Bryn Mawr Fund
1946—. Admission is $.25, includ-
ing tax. The first Merion concert
was a great success, and this one
promises to be equally good. So
if you’re out to help the Drive and
for an hour of good campus talent,
don’t forget the Merion Concert in
Wyndham tomorrow night.

Stassen Heads Poll;'
Dewey, Wallace Next

Continued from Page 1

81.5%. Wallace was chosen par-
ticularly for the reason that “he
has made his position clear on na-
tional and world issues”; his quali-
ties as an administrator received
only 29.5 per cent, while Vanden-
berg received 51.5 per cent and
Stassen 64.4 per cent on this issue.

Those who objected to Stassen
gave varied reasons. Some thought
he was too young and inexperi-
enced, some though him too liberal
and others too conservative. Van-
denberg was usually said to be “too
old,” while Wallace’s opponents
called him “tactless” or “crazy”;
one person said that “he was too
ideal.”

The objections to Dewey were

usually consistent—he was either
“too small” or “not broad enough.”
Taft, said students, was far too re-
actionary (and besides, added one,
he is from Cincinnati). The ob-
jections to Truman emphasized his
inefficiency, his “small-town” cali-
ber, and his lack of personal force.
The answers on MacArthur’s can-
didacy showed a strong feeling
against having a military man in
the White House.
_ A great many people did not feel
very strongly about their candi-
dates and picked them simply as
“the least of many evils.” The
most emphatic responses came
from the Wallace group.

Complete results will be posted

Barbara Bentley, °49, who is
spending her Junior year in Paris,
has sent vivid descriptions of life
there. The first group of her let-
ters were published in the March
11 issue of the NEWS.

“I walked through a little park
full of strange and tropical flowers
which made a wonderful contrast
to the rust-colored, thinning chest-
nut trees. And against these were
the ... gray statues of La Place
de la Concorde, the magnificent
horses, and the grey stone every-
where. It makes the people look
s0 much more colorful and gay to
be surrounded by old stone. I walk-
ed all along the Seine to Notre
Dame, caught in the week-end spir-
it and smiling at booksellers, fish-
ermen, poodles, squirrels and Paris
in general.

“, . . I bumped into a crowd of
people standing at a respectful dis-
tance listening to a blind man. He
was very young and pale, with long
dark hair and played the accordion,
and sang in as beautiful a way as
I’ve ever heard, a clear tenor, but
thin and with a sad quality. The
crowd around him—old men, house-
keepers, workers and some young
people— just stood there very
quietly listening to him, but hear-
ing much more than his wistful
Italian songs... People hurrying
by on errands and business stopped
to listen and slowly lost their pre-
occupied looks. What a contrast
to the rest of the busy square. This
powerful atmosphere of memories,
sympathy and suspended time...

Walk to Sorbonne

“Monday, classes started at the
Sorbonne and have been steaming
along all week. It’s perfectly love-
ly in the morning to walk to the
Sorbonne across the Jardin du Lux-
embourg. It’s always very misty
and the sun is just a red ball that
makes everything a strange pink-
ish color. The flowers are still
blooming in the green parcs and
the big fountain is full of stone-
colored water which reflects the
palace. — and fallen leaves drop-
ping all around us. The strange
light gives all the statues an al-
most life-like color. It’s very quiet
and very beautiful. Then all of a
sudden we come out under ‘Boul
Mich’ full of life and action —
cars and trucks honking, storekeep-
ers bustling around, and surtout
mobs of students. Then the Sor--
bonne, which is very city-like and
unimpressive from the outside. The
classrooms, quite justly, are called
amphitheatres! Great large round
things with wooden seats like pews
in semi-circles around—and balcon-
ies and painted ceilings.”

One month later Ba _ writes:
“Rushed to the wash basin. No
water at all. Ah, yes —strike.
Reached for the light—ah yes, an-
other strike. Didn’t bother to touch
the radiator; any fool could tell

Bentley Writes of Parisian Life:
Boul Mich, Goat,

Singer, Strikes

out across a gray, wet, cold, very
typical Paris, with loose garbage
lying in the streets—another strike
— without stopping to look for
mail. The Boul Mich was jammed
with angry people (Metro strike)
as were the corridors and court-
yards of the Sorbonne (strike in
the Faculte des Sciences).

“Friday I spent half the after-
noon watching a performing goat
who climbed up ladders in the
street, and balanced on stools with
three pink carnations tied to his
horns while his trainer accompan-
ied him on the tuba...

“Mme. Guilleton has give nus
Friday off, so we leave for Tours
in the morning for three days—
and then the work really starts!
But play before work in this case.”

Davies to Preach

In May 9 Chapel

ference on Civilian Control of

sentative of the Unitarian Service

ity, is forthcoming. Thé topic of
his address will be announced later.

ciate Professor of _Mathematics,

‘The Man Who Cumeé To Dinner’
Revives Mr. W’s Famed Ferocity,

by Marian Edwards 50

“Well, don’t stand there looking
like frozen custard.” “But, Mr.
Whiteside, oh Mr. Whiteside.”
Thus, with a warning not to trip
over the octopus and a plea not
to look at Mr. W. with cow-eyes,
or treat him like Edgar Allan Poe,
the rehearsals of the forthcoming
comedy, The Man Who Came To
Dinner, are developing into a fin-
ished, polished, punch-lined produc-
tion.

As we sat in Roberts Hall
watching the pipe-smoking, bow-
tied actors, we decided that a
Springtime Sunday afternoon,
though unconducive to practices
and script study, completely suited
the sedentary role of healthy Hank
Levinson, who manipulated tie,
earphones, telephone and wheel
chair with Monty Woolley deft-
ness,. although ad lib mutterings
helped guide the often uncon-
trollable wheel chair. But a called-
for slap on our hero’s back not

only raised dust from the stage |

but sent the back wheels of the
ambulator reeling head first.
Then lines became dramatic, the
scene became tense. Mr. W. quaff~
ed his glass of invisible water with
a masculine gesture, while an im-
promptu oath and a spray of dried
white powder over the hero’s face
and tie indicated that at one time
white paint had been left care-
lessly in a valuable property. Then
one of the actors sauntered hag-
gardly down Roberts Hall aisle,
apologizing to Mr. Thon for his

tardiness, but it seems his wife
just had a baby!

So on with the rehearsal ...
while Mr. W. snores, wheels, ex-
ercises, huffs, and sings, “I just
love it in the sunshine.” If re-
hearsals keynote the final produc-
tion, next Friday and Saturday
nights will witness TMWCTD as
the magnificent finale to this
more than successful year of
Bryn Mawr-Haverford drama.

you that in the past five years only
0.5 per cent of the graduating
classes failed to pass their compre-
hensives! Also statistics for the
the last four years show that 51
per cent received grades of 80 or

(The patter of horses’ little
hooves on the path between Rocke-
feller and Pembroke Saturday
morning brought us to the window
of the Art Study — only to find
that there was actually a horse
there, with Pooh Spalding astride.
After some time we went back to
our Frank Lloyd Wright to hear
a cheery voice demand, “Now look
pretty!” That was the last we
heard, before the hooves faded into
the distance—and we cannot help
but wonder to whom the. remark
was directed!

Foss Describes
The Biblical God

“The Biblical God is not fixed to
one certain, static concept, as the
Greek god, but He is~a dynamic
process of creating,” declared Dr.
Martin Foss, Professor of Philoso-
phy, Haverford College, in Chapel,
Sunday evening, May 2. Through-
out the Bible we find that God is
always becoming, always different,
for He is the response which we
need, look for and find in an ever-
changing life.

Although God changes as we do,
He guides us into an ever living
and therefore changing future, Dr.
Foss brought out. This idea of a
constant rebirth, the creation of a
“new heaven and a new earth,” is
connected to the concept of conver-
sion, for the Bible stresses the ne-
cessity of being born again and
again.

The great prophets, he contin-
ued, introduced the Messianic idea
of a holy future toward which man
is seeking. With this historic idea
of a progressive holy future, a new
concept of man arises. The Bib-
lical people saw that God gave man
an inner dynamic drive of Love, so
that man, like God, could also cre-
ate. with a confidence in a future
that leads.up to God. Therefore,
Dr. Foss concluded, everyone is in
a dynamic process of becoming,
and the God of the Old Testament
is not the God of static law and
order, but a living process which
gives meaning to the idea of Faith
—the Faith in an evermoving fu-
