McBride States
Role of Student
In World Today

Announces Purchase
Of Wright School
’ And Property

Goodhart, September 30. “Stud-
ents have the same responsibility
for helping to shift the balance to
ward peace that anyone else has,”
announced President McBride in
her opening address in the first col-
Jege assembly. The President em-
phasized the fact that there can

“no longer be the proverbial ivory
tower of the educational institu-
tion. She stressed the importance
of student support of “constructive
proposals now before us,’’ such as
the Marshall Plan.

In commenting on the position
of~students at the present time,
President McBride pointed out that
education must not become isola-
tion. “We here are taking for
granted peacetime opportunity, yet
we_know-that-in many other places
peace is only the absence of war.”
‘She maintained that it is essential
that students be aware of the world
of which they are a’ part, in order
to direct their education along lines
beneficial to society as a whole.
Science must be thought of “in
terms other than destruction”; his-
tory and art must not be confined
to notebooks.

Wright School Purchased

In touching on the highlights of
the coming year, President Mc-
Bride expressed the belief that it
will be a year of progress. The
faculty and teaching staff are com-
plete for the first time since the
war. There is a large freshman
-¢lass (151) comprising good stud-
ents of ‘widely varying interests.
New resources are available for
faculty salaries, and improvements
have been made in the physical
plant. In addition, the purchase
of the Wright School buildings
with five acres of ground will pro-
vide much needed room.

‘President McBride pointed out,
however, that it will be a difficult
year financially and that every ef-
fort must be made to keep costs
down. No increases have been
made in charges for tuition and
residence, while expenses have
mounted considerably. This Octo-
ber opens the second year of the

Undergrad Sec’y, Drive Chairman
To Be Elected on October Ninth

Candidates for Secretary of the
Undergraduate Association and
for Chairman of the Undergradu-
ate Committee of the Drive will be
voted on in all halls after lunch,
Thursday, October 9th. This spe-
cial election has been called to fill
vacancies created by the resigna-
tion of Ann Chase, last year’s
Committee Chairman, and by the
illness of the present Undergrad
Secretary. Freshmen and transfer
students are not allowed to vote.

The Secretary of Undergrad
must be “reliable and efficient,”
emphasizes its president, Henny
Burch. Besides being in charge of

Faculty Asserts
Vacation Petition

Seems Unfeasible

The petition of the student body
asking for a period of two weeks
for both the mid-year examination
period and spring vacation _was
submitted to the Faculty Schedule
Committee too late last year to be
considered for 1947-48, but it will
be submitted again by the Student
Curriculum Committee for the
scheduling of 1948-49. The Fac-
ulty Committee, however, discuss-
ed the question and has presented
certain facts to be considered
which do not favor such a change.



Consider Welfare, Morate

The welfare and morale of the
student is the basis of its deti-
sions,. the Faculty Committee as-
serts Thus, although the faculiy
and student committees may differ
in their opinions, they are both
agreed that they are working for
the benefit of ‘the student body.
Therefore both groups do not want
to endanger Bryn Mawr’s two
great assets—a good faculty and
good relationships between stud-
ents and faculty.

The Faculty Committee feeis
that a change in the schedule
would be unfavorable to these aims.
The schedule is mathematically
worked out, and a few days added
to Spring vacation and the mid-
year exam period would mean one
whole week added to the college
year, since Freshman Week must
start on Thursday. Such a change
would shorten the Faculty’s period
of research, and the four summer
months possible for this research
are a contributing factor to the

Theaters, Libraries,* Discussions
Revive Broken German Spirit

By Marian Edwards ’50

“The German people are hungry
for books as well as calories,” re-
ports Dr. Roger H. Wells, who has
just resumed his position as Pro-
’ fessor and 'Chairman of the Eco-
omics and Politics Department
after’ two years of government
service in Germany. The economic
and social conditions of Germany
are so serious, Dr. Wells adds, that
the people cannot look ahead to any
future. The food is as bad as
represented, hence the struggle for

existence is so real that the peo-

ple’s energies are used toward that

-end, rather than toward largé-

seale academic pursuits.

Im spite of this, Dr: Wells was
amazed at the tremendous inter-
est and intellectual thirst that the
German has for contact with the
rest of the world. This intellectual
appetite is great, he believes, be-
cause Germany has been so isolat-

ed. They have experienced 'a per-

iod in which they were complete-
ly cut off from new trends and
works in art and literature.

Libraries established through
the. U. S. Information Service are
most popular and well received,
Dr. Wells comments further. Trans-
lations of current American plays
into German and the production
of the plays have an enormous fol-
lowing. The most popular play
dramatized for the Germans, “The
Skin of Our Teeth,” was playing
in over twenty-five places through-
out Germany at one time, he says.
The popularity of this play, Dr.
Wells observed, was due to the fact
that the German people felt they
had recently experienced and been
a part of Wilder’s fantastic but
surprisingly grim plot.

Another factor stimulating the
numbed German spirit is their tre-
-mendous interest in democracy,
Dr. Wells continues. This can be

U.S.Govt. Policy

In Germany *47

Wells Outlines

Negotiations Point Way
To Reconciliation
Of Interests
Goodhart, October 7. Speaking
on Deutschland Ohne Alles at the
first
Roger

Mawr assembly, Dr.
Wells

the importance of reconciling con-
flicting interests of the great pow-
ers in order to accomplish anything
in post-war Germany. “Only by
continued and persistent negotia-
tions especially with the Soviet
Union can an agreement be reach-
er. Wells explained, “and the
United States must never be the
first to quit, since such an action
would point directly to another
war.”

Dr. Wells outlined the policy of
the United States military govern-
ment in Germany as that of the
five ‘D’s’—democratization, decen-
tralization, denazification, demili-
tarization and deindustrialization.
“The American military govern-
ment,” ‘Dr. Wells continued, “bases
its operations on the premise that
the main objective is to make Ger-
many peace-loving and democratic,
so that she may return to the fam-
ily of nations. Revenge is no long-
er a factor and although at first
misunderstandings arose, these
were largely the result of a mis-
placed emphasis.” On the whole
the change in America policy has
been a trend toward letting the
German people democratize -them-
selves and eradicate Naziism in
their own way, while the military
government has concentrated on
giving aid in these projects and
on carrying out the other points of
the five ‘D’ program.

Bryn

Hewes emphasized

The necessity for economic re-
construction in Germany was point-
ed out by Dr. Wells who declared,
“Negotiations and cooperation are
necessary, but should not keep us
from doing what must be done now,
for tomorrow may be too late.”
Dr. Wells also clarified shortages
in present-day Germany. In regard
to other major issues in Germany,
including the payment of repara-
tions, revison of boundaries and
the question of a federal or cen-
tral government, Dr. Wells called
for a firm and unequivocable stand
by the United States.



Freshman Dance
Revives the Gala

By Betty-Bright Page, ’49
Even if the Haverford “Rhinies”
don’t pretend to be pleased about
the new fashion changes, they got
around without tripping at the an-
nual freshman dance iff the gym
last Saturday night!

The unplanned but obvious
theme of the Old and the New was
everywhere, even in the decora-
tions and refreshments. There
was indeed a ‘marked contrast be-
tween the clever giant champagne
cocktails at each end of the gym
(on which the Decorations Com-
mittee: must be congratulated), and
the cider and ginger snaps, which
elicited such cracks;.as ‘What
proof is this?” and “Another two
months would do the trick!”

- With megaphoneless caller Bo

and shouting for “Paul Joneses”
at the top of her lungs, the party









with Haverford
Stag Line Era

this. pace was-maintained through-
out the evening by the “Salted
Peanuts,” some of Haverford’s ]o-
cal talent who kept their band
stand without a platform in spite
of the large crowd. This year saw
a marked return to the “stag line
era”; so no one lacked for partners
in the merry-making. Interesting
enough, there was also a notable

both Bryn Mawr and Haverford,
which certainly must be significant
of something.

No one seemed to notice the fact
that the cider ran out after inter-
mission and that some of the
“ehampagne bubbles” were a little
deflated towards the end of the
evening. :

The ‘trestinin made a hit, say
the telephones \already this week,
And as one Haverford wit said,
“This dance was more fun than all



got off to a rip-roaring start. And

ten entries!”

The American Table

President Truman’s request for food conservation should
cause Americans considerable thought. While the hotels
have promised to serve no meat Tuesday, no eggs or poultry
Thursday, and less bread and butter, the success or failure
of the program lies with the American consumer, who can
defeat the measure by buying meat on Monday to serve~-on
Tuesday.

It is virtually impossible for the average American to
imagine real hunger. He considers with an effort that a
starving man really doesn’t think about the form of govern-
ment under which he is living—except to wish for one which
will insure him food. He has never known the feeling of
seeing his wife and children starving—and realizing that he
can do ‘nothing. He came face to face with hunger for the
first time if he was overseas during the war: No matter
where Americans were stationed, the natives of that country
or island ransacked their garbage.

Senator Taft’s much misquoted reply on being asked
how Americans should save food—‘“Eat less extravagantly”’
—should become the rule in every American home. We could
all eat less with no ill effect; it should be mandatory not to
waste food.

Truman’s speech has’ come at a peculiarly coincidental
time-for Bryn Mawr, which has already tightened its belt in
an effort to balance rising food costs with no raise in the cost
of board. Bryn Mawr students eat well, both in the halls
and outside them, but this year they may perhaps find the
hall food less elaborate than that of previous years. Some-
how we feel that this is not the year for complaints, that it
is, rather, a year when we should thank God that we have
enough to eat—when half of the world is starving.

Let’s Have Your Opinion »

The lefter printed in the “Opinion” column of this week’s
News demands the careful consideration of its readers. In
analyzing the issues involved in what constitutes a serious
college problem, the Head of Chapel presents her case with
clarity and frankness. She not only gives explicit expression
to the vague convictions of many but also poses definite ques-
tions to be answered. Such a letter on the chapel situation
has long been needed. It should not be read and forgotten.
It deserves and, indeed, requires constructive comments in
reply.

One of the functions of this newspaper is to psn a
medium for such discussion. Through the channel of an
opinion column important questions may be brought before
the readers at large. When thoughts are aired in print and
_ views openly exchanged, a long step has been taken toward,

the solution of any problem.

Current Events

Common Room, October 6. In
the first Current Events of the
year, Miss Robbins, Associate Pro-
fessor of History, who has just re-
turned from a summer in England,
reported on the prevailing condi-
tions in English government and
life. At present, she said, the gov-
ernment is comparatively stable

yand the people seemto.be behind

it; however, she believes things
may change this winter.

‘Miss Robbins stated that the na-
tional deficit is three times what
it was last year, and that the gen-
eral situation is far more serious:
exports have fallen, the U.S. loan
has been used up, private cars can
no longer be driven, all mail is
opened for currency control, and
the ration of food is considerably
less. All ‘English workers are con-
trolled by a directive labor pol-
icy which allows few to change
jobs without the authority of the
local labor office.

Government mismanagement is
not the only cause of this crisis.
Miss Robbins cited the additional
factors of the high cost ‘of the war,
the rice of prices abroad, the cost
of German occupation, bad weath-
er, and “simple bad luck.”

A tremendous lag in exports and
in production of coal are immedi-
ate problems with which the gov-
ernment is faced. In addition, in-
ereased expenditures have neces-
sitated very high taxation—at
times amounting to almost 95 cents
out of every dollar. In conjunc-
tion with the strict labor rules,
this fact complicates the efforts
of the government to induce the
people to produce more. It dis-
courages labor and management
and saps their initiative and ambi-
tion. In addition the government
financial policy has been inept with
respect to price etc.

Miners and millhands are show-
ing a tendency to view Commun-
ism as the only solution to their
dissatisfaction with the results of
the Labor Government’s policies.
‘Miss Robbins pointed to a contrast-
ing change in the attitude among
the “Intelligentsia” Middle Class.
Many of them have swung to the
Right, convinced that ‘Socialism
will not work. This cleavage be-
tween two important groups of
ertswhile Government supporters
is perhaps the most perplexing po-
litical phenomenon,

Alliance Angles

The results of the poll taken last
spring reveal the overwhelming
desire of the student body to have
the Alliance continue assemblies
as in previous years. The major-
ity opinion favored the continu-
ance of talks on current affairs by
informed speakers because such
assemblies are valuable tothe
student and enhance the college
as a whole.

The constructive criticism in
polls brought new ideas and stim-
ulating suggestions to our atten-
tion. The Alliance has considered
seriously the suggestion of having
the assembly time following lunch,
rather than just before lunch time.
Another recommendation was that
the college have fewer assemblies
in the spring because of the in-
crease in the academic work at
that time of year. This would re-
sult in more assemblies in the fall.

The Alliance: attempts to secure
top speakers and authorities on
controversial issues for the assem-
blies. Due to the criticism of the
quality of previous speakers, the
Alliance feels that the student body
should be aware of .the difficulty
to get some excellent speakers be-
cause of the money involved as ‘well

Chapel Head Requests
Comments, Ideas

CR! ‘sger: Ff lf)

To the Editor:

Every year the problem of at-
tendance at Chapel arises. There
is no better time than the begin-
ning of a new year to do some 2on-
structive thinking about it.

All of us, while we are at Col-
lege, do a lot of thinking about
who we are, how we will build a
happy life, and, ultimately, What-
It’s-All-About. And it is not ir-
relevant to note that 1) college
students do not go to church sim-
ply because it is socially correct
and 2) sincere interest in religion
as an aid in answering those ques-
tions is not, as it apparently was
20 years ago when the Bryn Mawr
Christian Association was officially
disbanded, preposterously old-
fashioned and un-realistic.

We have access to a College ap-
propriation for Religious Life
which enables us to have at our

services as. fine speakers as we ran’

find. And the Chorus gives us
good music.
one feels that the average congre-
gation is rather pitiful, certainly
out of proportion to our resources.

The conclusion seems to be that
the present Chapel service does
not meet what need, if any, is felt
by Bryn Mawr students to seek
help of a religious nature.

1) Do you think that our service
at its best, with the discussion
after it, is adequate to the needs

Yet each year every- |

On Services

of the Campus?

2) Is there a need for opportu-
nity to think about religion and/
or to-worship that is not met eith-

lege courses and the present Chaz-
el service?

3) How do you think we can use
our’ considerable resources to bet-
ter advantage in meeting the re-
ligious needs of a very heterogen-
eous group of people?

We shall, during the first semes-
ter, try to answer the first ques-
tion by trying hard really to pre-
sent the traditional Chapel serv-
ice at its best—having an out-
standing list of speakers, making
the service itself as pleasing and
effective as possible, and improv-
ing on the length and, if possible,
the coherence of the discussions.
One student-conducted service will
indicate, but by no means conclu-
sively, your reception of the Chap-
‘el service without a sermon,

I ask you please 1) to deal kind-
ly with our attempt to give the
present service a good trial; 2) te
think hard and out-loud “about the
second question; and 8) if your
answer is affirmative, to criticise
constructively, so that we may
make positive changes during the
second semester.

Sincerely;
Elizabeth McClure, ’48,
Head of Chapel for 1947-1948.





Zurich Students

Want to Return

To German, Pastry, Skiis, Fiances

By Melanie Hewitt, ’50

The seven Bryn Mawr girls who
spent last year attending the Uni- |
versity of Zurich in Switzerland
sit around the German House
smoker, sentimentally reliving the
wonderful time they had and wist-
fully remembering the cafes and
the pastry.

The university was a social cen-
ter for the students, one large
building where everyone went io
college, “rather like Taylor.” At-
tendance at léctur‘es was required
for the American sections and\the
American students mostly took
courses in German literature, the
lectures all given in German. The
Swiss were bewildered when 50
American girls appeared, because
the Swiss girls apparently never
dared to go to the university. The
boys betrayed pardonable_ curios-
ity about the girls’ motives but
finally accepted them. The seven
in Bryn Mawr’s group included
Jeanne Lutz, Elizabeth Cushing,
Joan Huysseon, Jean Bishop, Ber-
nice Robinson, Jeanne Redrow and
Lulu Sheldon. :

The students lived singly in fam-
ilies ‘so that they couldn’t speak
English, some with full board and
some eating out, but all having



as the fact that so many are very
busy.

‘Ralph G. Bunche, of the U.N.
Trusteeship Division, and Mabel
Newcome, economist of Vassar
College have been invited for the
coming year. Mrs. Vining, tutor
to the Japanese prince was invited,
but is speaking at an evening
meeting sponsored by the alumni
committee instead. Herbert Evatts
and David Lilienthal had to decline
because of their previous duties
elsewhere.

The Alliance: hopes attendance
will continue tobe strong, for as-
semblies can only be continued if
there is adequate support by the



‘student, body.



ions on controversial campus matters.

No topic is “too hot



to handle”—as long as the communication is signed. Vigor-
ous and intelligent expression of opinion indicates the aware-

ness and the sense of ah reread prerequisite for con-|

structive action.

[aay one bath a week! They loved
the Swiss food, especially the pas-
try, and said that they rarely saw

a poorly-dressed or poorly-fed per-.

son. The exchange was stable and
, “occasionally profitable.” Though
housewives had trouble sometimes,
there seemed to be no real short=
age of food or clothing.

The group took trips to Italy,
‘Germany, Geneva, Berne and other
towns, where they skiied, climbed
mountains and visited museums.
and galleries. Unfortunately Joan
Huyssoon broke her leg skiing and
spent a long time in the hospital.
They made many friends and were
always meeting them on _ the
streets and in the cafes as they
walked about. Almost everyone in
Zurich spoke English and there
were few people who spoke fewer
than three languages.

Bernice Robinson worked in a
theater for a while and saw Thom-
as Mann sitting in the third row
at one performance. ‘‘He couldn’t
have missed me.” She now has an
autographed book of his for sale
for $380—just the price of the re-
|turn fare.

The girls all agree that they are
maladjusted to American life and
say that all their friends are, too.
They vaguely said that nearly ev-
eryone got engaged and when we
asked. whether these lasted, the
group--noedded—slowly
Everyone of them said that the
year in Zurich was the most ex-
citing experience anyone could
have and they all want to go back
—soon.

Eager for Education

seen in the packing crowds that
attend the lectures by Americans
on speaking tours. The Military
Government fegrets, he says, that
they didn’t have a full staff to give
adequate adult education, although
forums are held to some extent.

As it was, Dr. ‘Wells was swamped |’

with “extra-curricular” demands.

Successful discussion groups
with both Germans and Americans
participating are most important
from the standpoint of re-educa-
tion, hé believes, since they result
in the fusion of American ideas
and German minds. In these dis-
cussions the Germans are plain
spoken on their desire to elimin-
ate the partitions of Germany.

No Lost Generation

The response of the youth has
been good, Dr. Wells adds. A large
youth assistance program sponsor-
ed by the Army has been well re-
ceived. The German youth are not
the lost generation, says Dr. Wells,
if we can give them some hope
about the future that now clouds
their youth.

Dr. Wells comments that he is
glad to be.back at Bryn Mawr. He
realizes that the college is alive
and will always be changing, but
he finds no change in its keen, in-
tellectual and inquiring atmosphere.

Dr. Wells is just returning to
his position here after spending
two years in Germany with the
Civil Administration Division of
the Office of Military Government
(US) (August 1945-August 1947).
Although his top headquarters
were in Berlin, Dr. Wells travelled
