Stassen Stresses
Need for Revised

Charter for UN

> Nations Must Agree
To Imperative
Changes

Goodhart, Feb. 16. Speaking on
“The Future of the United Na-
tions”, Harold Stassen, president
of the University of Pennsylvania,
emphasized the fact that the U. N.
Charter as it now stands is inade-
quate for realizing the objective
which it sets forth. “Therefore,
the future of the U. N. is not
bright, unless the Charter is re-
vised.”

‘The U. N. Charter is inadequate,
the explained, because each nation
is clinging to the outmoded con-
cept of absolute national sover-
eignty. This is exemplified by the
veto power agreed upon at the
‘Yalta (Conference and subsequent-

Thon Announces
Summer Theatre

Speakers, Plans

Mr. Thon, director of the Bryn
Mawr College Summer Theatre,
has announced that Agnes de Mille.
George Freedly, Oscar Hammer-
stein II, Walter Kerr, and Mar-
garet Webster will be visiting lec-
turers next summer. They will
talk informally regarding the par-
ticular aspect of the professional
theatre with which they are most
familiar. Their talks will supple-
ment the training available to the
students in the classes in acting
directing, and production given by
the staff of the summer theatres.

The Bryn Mawr Summer Thea-
tre is unique in that it is primar-
ily an educational project, designed
to’ bridge the gap between college
theatre. training and professional
work. The first season of the sum-
mer ‘theatre, last summer, brought
highly favorable comments on the
productions from the audiences. *

The arrangements -for this sum-



mer are, in‘ general, the same’ as-
those for last: summer. The theatre

will: run from -June'27 to August
15, and five’ complete productions
will be presented. Thé perform-

Yale, Bryn Mawr
Show Choral Skill

In Joint Concert

by Hanna Holborn, °50

The Bryn Mawr Chorus and the
Yale ‘'Glee Club presented a joint
voncert in Woolsey Hall at New
Haven last Friday night, and, re-
zrettably but not surprisingly,
Yale stole the show: To say this
is not to dispatage Bryn Mawr;
the chorus sang well ‘but lacked

volume. in the large: auditorium, §|'

‘while the seeming sameness of its
selections made many of the list-
eners restless.

' The program opened with Ran-
dall Thompson’s Alleluia, sung by
the -combined choruses. Though
blurred and somewhat uncertain at
the beginning, ,it turned into an
excellent performance and rose at
the end to a really magnificent
finale. This was followed by the
Bryn Mawr portion of the concert.
opening with two Spanish Songs
of the 16th century. They were
rather disappointing; at a distance,
the chorus seemed to lack spirit
and confidence, and although tha
singing was technically good, it re-

‘ flected too much the apparent lack

of variety and tonal differentiation
in the music.

The Double Octet came in next,
with two Palestrina Canzonets.
and again, it was largely a prob-
lem of a lack of volume and some
very good singing. The next part
of the program presented a vast
improvement. Young Joseph, a

“You’re the cream in my creme

singing . . . There’s a Dali scene
sketched in the background. and
someone’s swooshing on paint...
Over there is the director tearing
out her hair: “You can’t be heard.”
There’s an assortment of charac-
ters in all states of deshabille
walking around mumbling to them-
selves, bumping into stray chairs,
singing off-key scales. The auth-
or sits in the front row agonizing:
her script is being mutilated.

The music director says “Give

The stage crew pulls ropes,

Eating, Monopoly, Formulaires
Are Page Remedy For Despairs

by Emily Townsend ’50

“How can I write a paper with-
out bare feet? And B-Bright goes
on to make many bad jokes about
notes des pieds nuds. Evidently
she does not mind being ex-editor
now. “Pooh! Editing is no work,”
she says. “Take me to tea.” “But
B-Bright,” I plead, “think of Apol-
jinaire.” ‘“He’s not due till March,
and I’m hungry.” Papers will
never interfere with B-Bright’s
sacred duty, it is clear.

Relieved of her job, B-Bright
sings more than ever. Her fav-
orite is Perrine; she never seems
to mind that Wyndham empties it-
self promptly when she reaches:
‘les rats l’avaient manges” . .
We have learned to step delicately
when hunger gleams from B-
Bright’s eye.

She sits cross-legged on the
smoker floor, alternating between
psychic bidding and filling out in-
terminable “formulaires” ‘which,
she hopes, will take her to France



next year. She promises to work
hard once she gets there. “Doing
what?” we ask. “I’ve always
wanted to learn the can-can,” she
answers dreamily. Perhaps, B-
Bright, you would do better to
learn how to pronounce properly
the French for blueberries.

“You miss the NEWS, don’t you,
B-Bright?” we urge hopefully. Not
at all. ‘She would much rather
spend her days playing monopoly
with interesting people. Or in
cleaning up her room. Or in sing-
ing. Or in eating. Or, of course,
in passing off her sports. “Archery
has done more for me than you
think,” she announces. “I can
reach much more food at the tea
-|table now.”

The NEWS, however, misses B-
Bright. There is no one now who,
when asked “Will this head do?”
automatically replies “I want a
beer.” The NEWS wishes you a
very happy year in France, B-
Bright. In the meantime, we will
always be glad to take you to tea.

Think Before You Vote

On Monday the college will begin nominating next year’s
officers. The names on the final ballots will probably not all} be
be familiar to everyone. In the past this has meant that elec-
tions are based to an uhwarfanted extent on acquaintance or
past record, neither of which are conclusive indi¢ations of
excellence.

To a voter uffamiliar with the catididates, 4 good guide
is the preferential order, determined by class votes, in which
the names, are presented. This, however, scarcely induces
indepéndént voting. We feel it would be by far the best plan
to give the college at large a chance to see the candidates in
action.

- A Week" ‘Prot Thursday, Self-Gov is holding an open
meeting at whch its major difficulties and policies will be dis-
cussed. This. will be an admirable opportunity to see Self:
Gov actually handling the problems involved in the job. We
would like te suggest that the five other principal organiza-
tions on campus hold similar meetings if possible, so that col-

lege officers in 1950 may be elected less accidentally than they
have sometimes been in the past.



— Jam, But No Tickets

The Mae, saat me ont in Taylor for Fréshman Show
tickets early in the morning. The tickets are sold for a short
half hour from 1:30 until 2:00, usually one of the most
crowded periods in the day. At two o’clock people who have
been waiting for one or two hours are still standing, while
they see girls come and ask someone at the front to get tic-
kets for all their friends and then leave, with the assurance
of getting good seats. Those who have been waiting leave at
two, only to return the next day when all the desirable seats
have been sold.

Surely there must be some way of amending this con-
fused and in many ways unfair system. of selling tickets.
Blocks of seats could be assigned to each hall, and then
sold individually in the halls, or tickets could be put on sale
again in the laté afternoon. The noontime load would be di-
minished by half, and many more people could purchase their
own tickets. Seats should be put on sale more than five days
before the performance . A partial solution which, at the mo-
ment, seems the most practical would be a regulation where-
by each girl could buy héf own, and only her own, tickets.. If
this were put into effect, the line would move faster, the con-
fusion would be decreased, and it would become mich less

ly incorporated into the U..N.
Charter.

The most important thing to be
done, Mr. Stassen believes, is for
the United States to take the lead-
eriship in calling an amending con-
ference wtihin the next few years
in order to evaluate the work done
under the present Charter and to
attempt to rewrite it.

He recognized, however ,the fact
that the Five Nations must agree
to the revision of the Charter be-
fore it could go into effect. Speak-
ing strongly in favor of World
Government, ‘Stassen listed the ab-
olition of the veto, the strengthen-
ing of a world police force, and an
international court as a means
whereby the U. N. Charter could
be implemented. Science proves,
he maintained, that absolute na-
tional sovereignty is impossible in
the future. He hopes that man’s
inherent concern for others will

rise above national concerns and’

serve mankind.

Teachers Advise
At Committee Tea

Common Room, Feb. 8.—The Vo-
Committee’s third tea
included talks by four
teachers on the aspects of their
profession. (Mrs. Sally Scatter-
good, a ’37 graduate of Bryn
Mawr, spoke first, and stressed the
qualifications for teaching on the
elementary school level. She de-
scribed the type of person emin-
ently fitted for instructing young-
sters as ‘being a “very well-balanc-
ed” individual with a knowledge of
her own needs and emotional at-

titudes. Understanding of children, ,
good personality adjustment, en-
thusiasm for the work, and espe-
cially, common sense and a sense
of humor are all “musts.”

girls. Many problems of public
school were eliminated in this
“somewhat ideal’? private school,
and especially unusual and worth-
while was the stimulation of. the
teacher’s close relationship to the
students, faculty, and administra-
tion.

Third to speak was Miss Rose-
mary Gilmartin, a lab instructor
in Biology at Yale University. She
pointed out that, while. her real
goal was obtaining a graduate de-
gree, she was gaining valuable ex-
perience, “learning through teach-
ing.” For the main responsibil-

there is, for instance, at Cam-
bridge, where individual work with
the professor is emphasized.

In England, Miss Cam told us,
mediaeval studies “are fighting a
losing battle with modern history.”
After the first world war, English
schools began to concentrate on
nineteenth-century English _his-
tory, and, as a result, students en-
ter college unversed in mediaeval
learning except for a vague desire
to identify Bruce with spiders.
American schools have thé same
attitude — emphasizing American
history, particularly of the last
century. The classics are also los-
ing ground in English schools. In
general, Miss Cam has found that
the boys know Latin and the girls
know French.

Miss Cam has not yet “master-
ed” the Harvard General Educa-

tion Plan and takes a halfway

point of view on the problem of
general as against specialized pro-
grams. She likes the solution of

ham Hall, related her personal ex- (+h. University of Edinburgh which

offers its students a choice of gen-
eral or specialized examinations.
Miss Cam was last here in 1908-
1909 as a graduate student, and
lived in Rockefeller where Miss
Taylor taught her how to make
coffee. ‘Her parting gift to us was
a Miss Thomas story. At one of
her Deanery teas the President
asked everybody to state her ideals
in life, When Miss Cam’s turn
came she said she’d like to know

Manual Advises Baby Sitters
On Problems and Emergencies

by Elisabeth Nelidow, ’51

Do you love babies? This, Mar-
ion Lowndes declares in her book
A Manual for Baby Sitters, is the
first question which all prospective
baby sitters, as well as experienced
ones, should ask themselves. Hav-
ing started with this primary qual-
ification, Miss Lowndes then dis-
cusses and explains thoroughly the
job of baby sitting. Not stopping
with the things which the sitter
should do, she also describes the
responsibilities of the parents, an
extremely important part of the
job.

There is more need for careful
attention to details in the care of
small babies than of six or seven-
year-olds, Miss Lowndes declares,
because they cannot tell you what
is wrong. But it is a mistake to
stop when he is merely warm, fed,
and dry—he needs a show of affec-
tion as much as do older children.
And when landed with a bunch of
school-age children for the after-
noon, remember, says Miss Lown-
des that it is more your job to keep
them safe and happy than it is to

“A Manual for Baby Sitters con-
tains ali the main points which
should be considered when baby-
sitting, such as the questions to be
asked of the parents before they
leave, practical suggestions as to
how to get children to eat and go
to bed, and what to do in case of
minor emergencies. ‘Miss Lowndes
also deals with the problem of hav-
ing to do housework as well as care
for the children. The answer to
this, she says, is, if in doubt, to
neglect the housework. “A house
can be replaced, but you can’t re-
Place a baby,” as Miss Lowndes
aptly puts it.

For those who just don’t know
what to do to amuse a child, the
author has a long list of suggested
games, tricks, and books. Reading
aloud is one of the best ways to
quiet a child who, at bedtime,
wants to play horsey or see how
close he can come to the ceiling by

jumping on his bed. Even if you

consider yourself an experienced
baby sitter, Marion Lowndes’ book
is well worth reading, for its com-
mon sense and simple, practical
suggestion to all sitters. Miss
Lowndes graduated from Bryn
Mawr in 1927.

European Tours



Tours to England, Holland and

France are again open to students
this summer, under the auspices
of the NSA. There will be two
trips this year, starting .in July;
they will cost each student about
$550, and last for six weeks. Har-
vard and Radcliffe are in charge
‘of planning the tours, and want to}
keep them as far as possible from

the usual tourist places to stay |

and things to see.

Each tour will be split into two]

‘groups: there will be about forty-
five people in one, whose interests
are general and who want to see
all they can without particularly
caring what field it applies to. The
other group will have three sec- |!
tions, concentrating on art, socio-

‘economics, and, again, general in-}

terests.

Five hundred students will be
able to take these tri-natign tours
this summer, as compared to last
year’s one hundred. Applications
are already being sent to the Rad-
cliffe N. S. A. office, in Cambridge.

Of Labor School

by Jane Augustine, ’52

' A tea was given last Thursday
‘in the Common Room by Miss Mc-
‘Bride in order to explain the pur-
pose of the Hudson Shore Labor
Sehool. Honey Pope introduced
‘Miss Peggy Wood, director of the
‘school, as the first speaker. Miss
‘Wood said that the school, which is
‘independent of any particular po-
‘litical or labor organization, is in-
‘tended to provide labor education
‘for people as workers and as cit-
‘izens of their country and the
‘world. No questions are asked on
the application blank as to race,
creed, or nationality.

Last summer a special two-
weeks session was held for women
workers only. This session was
much discussed pro and con, but
it will be repeated again this year.
During the last .two weeks of Au-
gust last year, emphasis was
placed upon workers’ education.
The four divisions of the student
body, each of which was assigned
‘to working out a plan for teaching
workers, found out how difficult
the task was. They also found out
that a cooperative spirit and a
good attempt were necessary in
the undertaking, the results were
actually less important. The at-
mosphere of the school is inform-
al; the courses offered are general-
ly in economics, functional Eng-
lish, government, and democratic



practices. There is also a social

science workshop in which prac-
tical problems“can be worked oui
by the students individually.

Hudson Shore. Labor School was
started twenty-eight years ago at
‘Bryn Mawr, and is now being sup-
ported by colleges, a number of
labor groups, and grants from
large foundations.

Pearl Edmonds, the _ second
speaker of the afternoon, has been
at Hudson Shore as a student, and
is also on the Board of Directors.
She described the daily life of the
school, the sharing of the house-
work, the afternoon dramatics, and
the “living newspapey”’—a sum-
mary of the day’s news given
aloud by one of the students each
evening. Lights are supposed to
be out at 10.30, but they very
rarely are!

Miss Smalz was the third speak-

‘er; she is a teacher at Hudson

Shore, women workers being her
special field. She said that being
at the school is a very vital and
stimulating experience. Students
and faculty learn from each other;
anyone is free to give his opinion
or suggestions at any time. One
particularly interesting project un-
dertaken last summer was a mock
Minimum Wage Hearing, for
which the students were obliged to
gather a great deal of information,
and the results were most bene-

ficial for everyone,

Britain Expands
Summer Schools

Nine British universities, in co-
operation with the Institute of In-
ternational Education, New York,
and the British Council, are ex-
panding their program of summer
schools for overseas students in
1949. Courses will include studies
of English social life, English lit-
erature, democratic government in
Britain, British industrial develop-
ment, town planning, modern civil-
ization and ancient Greece. The
schools will be held in various
parts of England and Scotland
from July 10 through August 20.
Though they are intended for grad-
uates who have had previous study
in the subjects offered, junior and
senior undergraduates with good
academic records will be admitted.

All courses will be residential;
accommodations are available to
780. students from the United
States. They will live in colleges,
such as Oxford, or at university
hostels. Tuition and maintenance
for six weeks will be $216 to $264.
Travel costs are additional. A few
scholarships, some all inclusive,
others for travel only, may be had
by highly qualified students. In-
quiries should be made to the Insti-
tute of International Education at
2 West 45th Street, New York, N.
Y., and applications must be receiv-
ed by the Institute by March 1,

HAMAD AAO TOTO A

Federalists Meet
To Hear Shapiro

Common Room, Thursday, Febru-
ary 3, 1949.—At a combined meet-
ing of the Bryn Mawr and Haver-
ford Chapters of the United World
Federalists, Dick Shapiro, head of
the Speakers’ Bureau of the Yale
Chapter, emphasized the import-
ance of a grass roots movement in
achieving world government.
U.W.F. believes that it is essential
that the U.N. be strengthened so
that it will have the power to pre-
vent any nation from planning or
making war. ‘Pointing out that
there is ng veto on the calling of
a conference to consider amending
the U.N. charter, he stated that it
was the aim of those working for
world government to get the
United States to take the lead in
calling such a conference. He

enumerated the achievements of
U.W.F. so far in arousing public
opinion at the grass roots level and
in influencing state government
and federal government. Follow-
ing the example of (Connecticut,
Massachusetts and some twenty
other states, Federalists in Penn-
sylvania are now working to have
a referendum on the question of
strengthening the U.N. appear
on the ballot at the next election.
Petition drives, such as that held
last year on the Main Line have
been conducted in many sections
of the country.

Mr. Shapiro’ explained that
U.W.F. recognizes the probability
that Russia would not accept mem-
bership in a world government,
even the limited one envisioned by
U.W:F. .which would leave each
member nation contro] over its in-
ternal affairs. However, they be-
lieve it would be better to go ahead
without Russia, leaving the door
open for her to join. Such a par-
tial world government, while not
desirable would be better than the
ineffectual alliances now being
planned, such as the North Atlan-
tic Alliance. Alliances, he pointed
out, have never prevented war; on
the contrary, they usually lead to
war.

Rare Book Room Exhibits T itles,
Lanterns, Fortnightly Philistines

By Anne Greet, ’50

Neatly arranged under glass in
the Rare Book Room are Lan-
terns, Tipyn O’Bobs, Fortnightly
Philistines, Bryn Mawr Reviews,
Titles, and the first red-and-white
issue of the Counterpoint

June, 1891: the Lantern Editor-
ial regrets that “the first keen
edge of enthusiasm” has departed,
but declares Bryn Mawr still has
college spirit. A Fortnightly Phili-
stine records the rising of “prac-
tically fireproof” Rockefeller, and
the replacement of “the original
sod” over the electric developments
between powerhouse and halls.

There are ads: an unhappy girl
draped in plaided net heightens
the significance of the poem on
the opposite page—“To Everyone
that was Ever Brave” and a Bell
Telephone ad advises a long dis-
tance call to “Mother and Dad”
just before exams for “its pleas-
ing effect on your ‘interior’ com-
plex.”

Both Choruses Excel

In New Haven Concert
Continued from page 2
Mass. This, it will be remembered,
was presented last year at the
Penn-Bryn Mawr concert and was
excellent even in spite of Penn’s
poor showing; now, with the full
Yale (Glee Club, it was still love-
lier. The theme of “Kyrie Elei-
son” was both reverent and tri-
umphant and except for one or two
poor beginnings and a slight ten-
dericy for the men’s voices to
overwhelm the women’s, the two
choruses combined almost perfect-
ly to make this the most beautiful

of their presentations.



There is poetry by Marianne
Moore, Miss Park, Martha Gell-
horn Hemingway. Most notable 1s
Miss Meigs’ redoubtable lady in
“Trials of a Student Guide” who
“asked how old the Dean was” and
kept her thoughts on tea. The
drama is represented by Theresa
He]lburn and Cornelia Otis Skin-
ner. As for stories, Miss Lynn ex-
emplifies the realistic approach

Most intriguing are the orphans,
whose authors lurk just over the
page: Vasily, who could never
make up his mind, and “Oh, little
lady, little lady, don’t you see that
I am making love to you?” From
“To a Screen Maker” to the Bryn
Mawr Girl of 1900 it’s a fascinat-
ing display and well-worth seeing.

Exhibitions Of Modern Dancing
Are Found Educational But Flat

by Betty Beierfeld

The history and technique of re-
cent theatrical dancing were giv-
en a brief and well-organized once-
over last Wednesday night in the
Skinner Workshop. With Miss
Kilby explaining the qualities of
movement in thg various types of
dancing, the Dance Club -demon-
strated the fundamentals. of. the
different forms,

Though (Mary Berenice Morris
and Adelaide Wahlert, a tap duet,
had evidently practised enough to
be mediocre, it is easy to under-
stand why tap dancing is not as
popular as it used to’be.

The ballet, a formal art in the
process of being modernized, was
demonstrated by Elizabeth Gjels-
ness, She performed the tradition-
al ballet movements charmingly,
though automatically.

Duncan Dancers

A trio of Duncan dancers in
pastel-colored tunics came next. In
performing the graceful exercises
that constitute Isadora Duncan’s
revolt from formal ballet, Irina
Nelidow, Sally Loomis, and Joan
Sunderland left the unmistakable
impression of hard working under-
graduates impersonating The
Flowers That Bloom in the Spring.

The last half of the program
featured the modern dancers of the
club.” Brief episodes showing the
various components of moderr
dance were presented first. The
study in levels, done without ac-
companinient, looked least like a



group of epileptic Indians around
a campfire, and therefore seemed
especially effective.

Anneliese Sitarz, in interpreting
Brahms’ Hungarian Dance No. 6
danced better with her arms than
with her legs. The gypsy life was
obviously too much for her, for she
was unable to do justice to the
passion of the music. However.
her organized dance was welcome
after half an hour of exercises and
was a good prelude to the high-
light of the demonstration, an un-
named dance on a college theme.
Characterizing students of three
varieties—the friendly, the book-
laden and worried, and the the!
semester’s-over-I’m-at-4peace-with -
the world-type—the dance held in-
terest throughout and was over
much too quickly. Ellen Landis
was outstanding for her grace an¢
agility.

The entire demonstration proved
“educational,” though not obnox-
iously so. It is hoped that now tha’
the non-dancers of Bryn Mawr
have some understanding of the
essentials of the dance, a full-
fledged recital will be prepared for
our further edification—and de-
light.

theatre students who intend to go
on with professional work. The
company will. be limited to fifty-
five. The cost for the seven weeks
is $400, which includes tuition, in-
struction, and room and board. Ap-

Unperturbed

By “Sovereign” Explosion



With a shattering ‘Baeiidation heard
on the banks of the Nile, the Nassau
Sovereign, erstwhile Princeton edit-
ion of the Police Gazette, chivalrously
exploded the Bryn Mawr Myth with
a three page expose in its Novem-
ber issue.

“For years Bryn Mawr has bravely
borne up under the misconception that
her neo-Gothic dormitories are peopl-
ed solely by high-foreheaded intel-
lectuals, ‘‘the article ran. “Actually,”
the Sovereign sagely revealed, “the
situation is pleasantly antithetical.”

No Surprise to B M

The Sovereign’s history-making dis-
covery came as no suprise to those
most immediately concerned—the BM
undergraduates themselves. The Col-
lege News, getting in a few cracks
under the guise of reporting the Sov-
ereign article, patronizingly remark-
ed that “it seems that Bryn Mawr
girls have at last made a name for
themselves along lines other than high-
brow intellectualism. Wihether or not
they agree, however, with ‘the reputa-
tion attribued to them by Nassau is a
guestion they coyly evade. Neverthe-
less, they must face the facts, and
Princeton seems to know them.”

On the editorial ‘side, the News
gushed forth to defend one aspect of
the “myth” it preferred to keep un-
exploded. In an_ editorial entitled
“Muscles. Lilexi,” the News struck

Actor, author, sculptor, professor,

Despite—or perhaps due to—its leg-
endary reputation of being a “tradi-
tional hangout of scholarly women,”

ably large number of its graduates to
“the nation’s service.” In almost all
fields of endeavor, the college is rep-
resented by one or more distinguished
alumna,

- The unusual emphasis placed on the
drama at Bryn Mawr has shown its
effects, by coincidence or not, in the

her “funny-voiced” roles in many a

BM Seniors Warned

Special to Hie “Daily Princetonian
(Members of the graduating class at
Bryn Mawr were warned to “shiarpen
their hooks” in preparation for the
coming battle for a husband, accord-
ing to a report published in the Bryn
Mawr College News on February 9.
The warning, issued in an address
by one Mrs. Cupidino, was carried in
a “bogus” issue of the college paper
publisehed ‘by the retiring officers.
Intimating that the BM seniors had
been mislead by their parents, Mrs.
‘Cupidino told her audience that “there
was more in life than a hail and sat-
isfying intellectual exparience. I may
even say,” she said, “that marriage
is a concept that should appeal most
of all to the Bryn Mawr girl—look
at all the books written about it!”
Mrs. Cupidino was reported to have
revealed that mary women are psy-
chologically inhibited from entering
into happily married life by silly pre-
conceived ideas growing out of their
childhood—i. e. that they should get
a graduate degree before looking at
a man.

“Prince” Scribe Claims Bryn Mawr Offers
Necessary Facilities—Even “Permanents”



By A. GRAHAM SHANLEY ’50

Although the Freshman show fig-
ures as the principal organized enter-
tainment of next weekend at Bryn
Mawr, visiting Princetonians, quite
naturally, would prefer not to find
themselves “Out on a Limbo” finian-
ically. To make everything easier for
those not used to mainlining, here
are a few tips.

Posies Popular on Premises

Flowers are treasured at Bryn
Mawr. In fact, girls buy them for
each other at the slightest provoca-
tion. Knowing this, the man who does
things in advance will order his gar-
denias ($1.50) or orchids ($8 ‘and
up) from Applegaites between ‘Cousins
and the delicatessen in Palmer Square.
But for most of us it will have to be
en route. If driving, you won’t miss
the modern, all-glass facade of Al-
brechts on the Lancaster Pike in Ar-
dmore, a few miles before Bryn Mawr.
Also in Ardmore, but on-the other
side of the street, is Brill’s, another

reliable dealer. If train is your. tran-|!

sporation, on arrival ring 2422, the
Bouquet, a small place run by young
men who take a personal interest in
short-notice orders for their ,custom-
ers. They deliver. Or if you prefer
to say it with music, equally populai
with songy Bryn Mawrites, Black-
stone’s has what you want.
Food For Gourmets

Wiith regard to more substantial
activities—eating for example—there
is a wide enough selection. The good,
grey College Inn, somewhat compar-
able to the ups‘airs part of the Nass,
is home to many from the pseudo-
Blair Tower, and regardless of the
occasion the girls always seem able to
find an excuse for tea there. Sag-
ging quietly opposite Pem west, it’s
a sure bet for Sunday brunch. In the
“vill” itself, you’ll like the cushion
and oak quaintness of Hamburg
Hearth, though the price of the popu-
jar “Hearthburger seems __ conclusive
proof that it must have had a college
education. Any picturesque qual-



ity of the Greeks, strictly a rou-

tine soda fountain next to the ‘the-
atre, must lie in the name but, like
Veidts here, it has a large clentele
For a rich bite after the movies, ask
for icebox cake atthe Community
Kitchen. They’re famous for it.
The Pennsylvania State govern-
ment ‘believes candy is dandy and lets
it go at that, so bars can’t advertise.
But Taylor’s, on thé Ardmore side of
the town, outsmoothes the other two,
Ford’s and Gains, which will do if
your choice requires no more than
jockeying a nob and you like ‘the
homey touch. Television of course.

etor you’re from Prineeton. He loves

The annual Freshman show, highlight of Bryn Mawr’s biggest and
most hectic weekend of the year, will be presented Saturday night at 8:30
in Goodhart Auditorium on the campus of Princeton’s “architectural sis-

ter. college across the Delaware.”

Featuring a cast of 61 with innum-
erable choruses thrown in, the show,
entitled “Out on ta Limbo,” has been
written, staged and produced by mem-
bers of Bryn, Mawr’s Freshman class.
Tickets are on sale for a dress re-
hearsel Friday night and the Satur-
day night. performance and may be
obtained by writing to the Fresh-
man Show at Bryn Mawr.

Dance Follows Show

Immediately following the Fresh-
man production, the center of attrac-
tion will shift to the Bryn Mawr
Gymnasium for the annual weekend
dance.

“Out on a Limbo” comes at the end
of the traditional. “‘hell week” at Bryn
Mawr, a period in which the Sop-
homore class outdoes itself in at-
tempts to upset the stability of Fresh-
man routine, Highlights of ‘the week
will be the famous “animal hunt,”
during which the Sophomores have
24 hours to find and identify a “liv-
ing” animal brought onto campus by
specially appointed members of the
Freshman class. If at the end of the
period, (Saturday night at 7:30) the
Sophomores have failed to find the
animal, it is produced at some point
in the Freshman show as a sign of
the disgrace into which the Sopho-
more class has fallen.

Rules Bar Fighting

The traditional animal ‘hunt has
produced many legends and much
hardship. Rules laid down this year
bar “live decoys” and “hand-to-hand”
fighting during the search. Although
the Sophomores rarely find the con-
cealed animal, the Freshmen are hard
put to conceal such quadrupeds as
the goat and donkey used in the last
two years. Rumor has it ‘that one
claizs concealed an ‘ameoba in a glass
of water, the aforementioned being
inadvertently swallowed by a Fresh-
man at a crucial point in the search.

The plot of “Ou't on a Limbo,” de-

Bryn Mawr Briefs



“Risque Conduct’ in Colleges
Called Discredit to Bryn Mawr

The results of exams given in a
course on Self-Government at Bryn
Mawr this fall were, in many cases,
revealing. In some answens, bringing
discredit on the college was defined
as (1) “several girls getting drunk
in a bar wearing Bryn Mawr shirts
and slapping everybody on the back
as they go by”; (2), “running over
children with bikes”; and (3) “risque
conduct in men’s colleges.” .

In reply to another question, one
girl sagely wrote that “students may
never wear pants when walking to-
wards the village.”

Hall Classified With Cabaret

In a recently issued Federal Am-
usement tax form, Bryn Mawr’s
Goodhart ‘Hall was classified with roof
gardens, cabarets and the like as a
place of entertainment. The auditor-
ium is the scene of Saturday’s Fresh-





mian show. -



“B. F.’s Daughter” Addition
To Ranks of Bryn Mawr Grads

Latest to join the ranks of Bryn
Mawr’s fictional alumnae is Polly
Fulton, cirea class of 1930. She is
“B. F.’s Daughter” in John P. Mar-
quand’s best-seling novel of the same
name. Marquand gives almost no de-
tails of her fictional undergraduate
life except that “she had majored in
political science and minored in Eng-
lish.”

Hardy Bryn Mawr Hambargers
Take 90 Minates to Consume
“Do you know what happens next
Saturday night?”, cheerfully queried
a recent article in the College ‘News.
“It’s Bryn Mawr’s answer to the Yale-
Princeton house parties—our big un-
dergraduate dance . . . The hours
are 11, to 2 with one and one-half
hour intermission to get hamburgers
afterwards.” (ED. NOTE: And we
always thought Princeton hamburgers
were the toughest in the country!!)
