Technical Elements

Integrate Effect
Of Production

By Katrina Thomas, ’°49

Goodhart, November 15 and 16.
It is after seeing a splendid per-
formance such as the Bryn Mawr
Varsity Players and Haverford
Cap and Bells production of Thorn-
ton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize play,
“The Skin of Our Teeth,” that we |
act, and thus be a part of that
great medium for artistic expres-
sion, the theater.

Throughout the _ performance,
ene could not help but marvel at
both the genius of Thornton Wild-
er-and of the actors_and actresses
for expertly combining the fantas-
tie and the fatuous. A number of
times, it was shocking to find one’s
self laughing unconventionally in
the midst of an emotional crisis,
and then again in the process of a
laugh sobered by a new thought.

The sets were colorful. The
lights and sound effects were pro-
fessional. The technical elements
of the production were so superior
that the audience was conscious of
them all, without its attention be-
ing detracted from the integrated
whole, A, real attempt was made
by the actors also to achieve this

Ellen Harriman identified _her-
self completely with the role of
Mrs. Antrobus, whose sole interest
was the protection of her family,

Four French Graduate Students
Contribute to Radnor Atmosphere

ten years of my life I spent in a
convent-school in Normandy. You
probably know what these schools
are like: formality, harsh disci-
pline. I simply cannot imagine a
more complete contrast to your
American free system of educa-
tion. (This remark led of course
to a long discussion of the com-
parative merits of the two systems,
which I unfortunately can’t give
here unless we are allowed to Te-
serve also the second half of the
College News for our own pur-
poses; as yet it has been queerly
enough used for the ends of the
American students. But to return
to the matter): Imagine, when we
met the prioress in the street we
had to sweep a curtsey as if before
a queen. But what a nice uniform
we had. It was navy blue and the
color of the belt changed accord-
ing to our age. (At this point Ger-
maine was wanted on the phone).
Well, where did I leave? Oh yes
the belts. After having worn the
last one, which by, the way was
blue, for a cquple of years I re-
turned to Pdris. Here at Bryn
Mawr I am studying History of
Art. I love this college and-should
like to stay here indefinitely.
(Judging from the number of her
telephone calls there are some
other people who probably wish
that too).

Paganini Quartet
Shows Precision,
Fine Musicianship

by Barbara Bettman 7°49

. It is unfortunate that so many }

of the people who attended the
Brice concert failed to hear the
Paganini quartet, Tuesday night,
November 19, in Goodhart. For
they would have heard four men,
each an individual master of his
string instrument, combine to form
a perfectly integrated quartet and
to present a remarkably well-
chosen program.

One of the miracles of fine cham-
ber music is its ability to sound

College’s Poetry
Takes 5 Places

In 47 Anthology

Four Bryn Mawr undergraduates
have their poems printed in this
year’s College Poetry Anthplogy.
Nancy Riley, ’50; Nan Carr, ’49;
Margaret Rudd, ’47, and _ Isabel
Barchuk, ’50. One graduate stu-
dent, Beverly Boyd, has also
achieved this. distinction.

Nancy Riley’s poem, “The Kitch-
en,” is a short description of her
grandparent’s’ kitchen, reflecting
the emotions of someone who sees
an old-fashioned room changed to
a moder.) version.

“Yet, still lingers there

voices of those

who grew in pain and joy

and the presence of one I loved.”
This poem is the first she has
ever written. Evidently after read-
ing the notice of the competition
in the News, Nancy decided to
send her poem’in, and met with
great success.

Nan Carr’s poem, “The Tele-
phone,” is a. poignant piece about
the devastating powers of the ma-
chine in question.

BritainRequires
Enduring Peace
Woodward Says

Future British Position
Rests on Mixed
Economy

Goodhart, November 20. Brit-
ain’s contribution to the future
will come through her develop-
ment of a compromise between the
extremes of capitalism and com-
munism in a “soeial service state,”
explained Mr. Ernest L. Woodward
in a discussion of “The Future of
the British Empire.”

Mr. Woodward stressed two pre-
conditions to a constructive future
for the English, the creation of
fairly permanent peace through
defensive armameni and effective
machinery for collection. security,
and the establishment of a solvent
economic position, depending chief-
ly on economic stability in the
United: States and greater inter-
of goods, particularly
through lower U.S. tariffs.

In. the future of Europe Britain
can play a constructive role as a
leader by example for the western
European democracies. Whether
Russian policy is based on cynical
aggression or on fear of capital-
istic attack Britain will lead either
as the one European nation that
Russia now fears or as the creator
of a semi-socialistic, semi-capital-
istic state which Russian com-
munism would accept as inherent-
ly peaceful.

Within Britain this new social
system is being developed through
the transfer of responsible political
power from the middle classes to
the workingmen. This shift is to
be effected both through the prac-
tical experiences in self-govern-
ment which the trade unions offer
and through the new educational
developments in Britain.

The British Empiré, Mr. Wood-
ward pointed out, is definitely be-
ing restricted, and in the future
will exist largely in the African
colonies. The British must with-
draw from India now since they
could only continue as a _ police



state.

Bridge Can Wait

As an important function of self-government and as
potentially a most important coherent expression of student
‘opinion, hall meetings should be the particular interest of
every student. Instead, they are often ignored or frankly
avoided. :

Criticisms of the conduction of meetings, it seems, should
be directed more at the students passively attending meet-
ings than at those directing them; for the lack of interest in
and attention to the issues brought up are the primary caus-
es of “long dragged-out” meetings. Hall meetings are never
called unless issues of importance to the student body are at
stake. ;

Criticism can well be extended to include the prevalent
“bad voting habits. ”"The attitude expressed in irrelevant
quibbling and in the remarks we all have heard such as “Let’s
agree just to cut the meeting short,” and “I don’t know what

we’re voting for, but I’m voting against it’ are not conducive
to good government. They lead to government not by the
students, but by the path of least sciaionraad, without thought
or purpose behind it.

We should like to see fewer bridge games and more at-
tentive thought whenever voting is going on. Let’s make the
hall meeting the effective organ it was designed to be and is
capable of being.

High Hopes for Varsity Players

This fall’s first Varsity Players’ production has given us
high hopes for the Drama this year at Bryn Mawr. The di-
rector, actors, and Stage Guild deserve high commendation

.for making such an ambition selection as The Skin of Our
«Teeth and for producing it with polish.

-- For the past three years, we have felt that the choice and

treatment of plays for Varsity Players productions have been}-

mediocre. The careful direction of Mr. Thon and his conta-
gious enthusiasm and energy have inspired a _ production
which has shown increased student interest and cooperation.

How very subtly the year has
turned to winter! Nightfall coin-
cides with tea-time and milk may
be preserved upon the window-sills
for upwards of two days. The
registers hiss and sigh and blow
hot air like benevolent dragons.
Every day those gentle, lanky men
rake up their heaps of leaves,

'||spread out their burlaps, and fight

unhelpful winds in an effort to
clear the hardened earth. But
there are always more leaves, and

so the men reappear, day by day, |.

talking slowly in unknown lan-
guage, to slowly rake and gather
the leaves, set fire to them, .and
tend the fires, all oblivious to the
white smoke that curls and blows
about them.

We too are blown about, not only
as we bolt from house to house,
but also as we lurch from quiz to
quiz. For this is a time of sudden
cold, both climatic and academic.
There is a look of ice in professor-
ial eyes, a certain coldness of un-
dergraduate feet. The library door
squeals more often and we nightly
lay down our heads upon our pil-
low more gingerly, as one might
deposit upon a hot stove a balloon
rather too full of air. We climb
up to the classrooms with our pens
and our last-minute piece of paper
that bears an outline and a few
catch phrases. The professor en-
ters; the piece of paper is discard-
ed; the pen is opened. Now let the
God of Bluebooks be with us, to
endow us with a. firm hand, the
ability to condense -half a term
into an hour, and a certain brash
inventiveness of mind for use in
emergencies. - - :

Almost, in these trying times,
we forget that we are studying in
order that we may become wise
rather than encyclopaedic. Almost,
we are like the student in a ‘cer-
tain old story. This student was

Student Urges Support
Of Group Studying
Atomic ew

To the Editor:

The terrific impact accompany-
ing the dropping of the atomic
bombs over Japan, and the wide
and revolutionary implications of
atomic energy as a whole seem to
have slipped into the background
in recent months Human nature
is a funny thing, and people seem
to think that problems as grave
as this can be solved more easily
by simply avoiding them and for-
getting about them, than by keep-
ing them constantly in mind and
actually working them out We do
not say. that everybody has for-
gotten—that is no more true than
to say that nobody has forgotten.
But unfortunately, too many other-
wise intelligent people are neglect-
ing their obligations to be con-
scious of the gravity of the prob-
lem of atomic’ energy. World-
consciousness, political, economic
and social-awareness today, de-
mands awareness of the implica-
tions of atomic energy. It is a
factor vital to each of our lives
and we owe it to ourselves and to
the future to be thinking about it

now. *

For these reasons, therefore, we
want to organize an intercollegi-
ate committee to formulate and
carry through educational pro-
grams. in every field touched by
atomic energy. On Saturday, No-
vember 9, a meeting was held at
the University of Pennsylvania,
under the auspices of the Associa-
tion of Philadelphia Scientists, the
‘|purpose of which was to organize
the huge student population in the
Philadelphia area and to discuss
plans as mentioned above. These
programs will include forums, de-
bates, films and discussions led by
outstanding authorities in the
fields of economics, politics, soci-
ology and science. But we cannot
get anywhere with our plans un-
less we have the full support of
our student body. What does Bryn
Mawr promise us?

Limit of Two Tickets
For Commencement

Deplored
To the Editor:

While we realize that this may
not be considered the most appro-
priate time at which to criticize a
college policy toward the alumnae,
it is our opinion that the Com-
mencement problem deserves
prompt attention. It is not fair
to restrict the Seniors to two tick-
ets each. If there is one day in
the four years that we attend Bryn
Mawr that belongs to the Senior
Class and the graduate students
receiving degrees, it is Commence-
ment. For us, our family and
friends, it represents one on the
bigger milestones that we pass; it
is the end, for the majority, of
formal schooling and the passing,
to use a cliche, “over the Alps into
Italy.”

By limiting us to two seats
apiece, the College is, in effect,
prohibiting the presence of any
members of our family other than
our parents. To take from us the
seats that might go to our broth-
ers, sisters, or other relations, in



‘order to give them to the alumnae

who are “reuning” is not only un-

‘just but is poor policy. We are

the ones who will be in closest

Sloane’s Perspective Contraption
Captivates Enthusiastic Observer

By Helen Hale ’

Dear Mother, "

I think I'll be a History of Art
major. I realize that this is sud-
den news for you, but the depart-
ment is entrancingly whimsical.
Mr. Sloane, for instance,,has the
dearest little ‘box- with a peephole
in one end of it. He copied this
machine from one made by a man
calle@ Alberti, a Renaissance ar-
chitect. '
‘ine purpose of this box is the
demonstration of perspective, not
mathematically, but: practically.
Of course, now, there are all sorts
of complicated ‘rules and laws by
which perspective is worked out,
put in Alberti’s day there was only
this box. It’s oblong, opened on
one side and on the top. The hole
is on the end, the object, (in this
case a checkerboard) is laid on the
floor of the box. There are slides
which are removable, and are
placed between the peephole and
the checkerboard. They have holes
cut in them of varying sizes rep-
resenting different ‘vanishing
points”. To make it simpler, Mr.
Sloane has stretched black sewing
thread from the. peephole to the
corners of the checkerboard, which



Current Events

Common__Room, November _18.
Stressing the importance of. find-
ing a common basis of understand-
ing with Russia, Mrs. Manning
spoke on the tofic, “Russia and
the United Nations”, at Qurrent
Events.

Although there is no immediate
threat of armed combat, Mrs. Man-
ning stated that it is very difficult
to find a meeting-ground with Rus-
sia. However, she feels that the
situation today is not at all com-
parable to the situation which ex-
isted in Nazi Germany. It is chief-
ly Russia’s tactics and not her ul-
timate aims that are-—making
agreement so difficult.

Mrs. Manning feels that a firm
stand on the part of the United
States can break down Slavic re-
sistance in some cases, but that
such a policy may be carried too
far,

She also stated that the import-
ance of the veto power has been
greatly exaggerated. Since the
only hope for permanent and sat-
isfactory settlement of interna-
tional problems is . unanimous
agreement, and since no solution
could be otherwise efficiently and
peacefully maintained, the veto
power is actually only a technical-
ity. However, Mrs. Manning crit-
icized Russia’s use of it as a threat
to stop discussion.

She emphasized that a patient
attempt to find a basis of under-
standing with Russia is essential
to permanent world peace.

This year a small group of. stu-
dents on campus is planning to
continue the work done last year
for the Fair Employment Prac-
tices Committee in making a sur-
vey of the degree of discrimina-
tion practiced by employers on ac-
count of race or religion. The
workers interview employment
agencies and insurance company
executives to ask what their poli-
cies are regarding the employment
of different racial and religious
groups.

The FEPC~intends—to—use—the
statistics which are collected in
January when a bill comes up be-
fore the state legislature to pro-
hibit discrimination against mem-
bers of particular races or relig-
ions in employment practices. It
is considered unlikely that thexe is
any chance of getting such a bill
through Congress in the near fu-
ture but that is the ultimate goal
of the FEPC.

Anyone on campus who is inter-
ested in helping make these. sur-
veys inthe Philadelphia area
should see Ruth Crane, ’49, Mer-
ion.

Haverford ‘Salt Peanuts’ Enliven
Gay Entertainment in Gymnasium

by Katrina Thomas ’49

Something new has been added!
Haverford has a four piece dance
orchestra, who call themselves
“The Four Salt Peanuts.” They
played for the dance held after the

Saturday night performance of
“The Skin of Our Teeth,” and
sponsored by the Undergraduate

Association and the Haverford Vie
Committee.

The gym was decorated in a blue
and white motif, blue and white

around the running-track. The
lanterns went romantically out



; toe se end of the evening,

dripping wax on the floor, and pro-
viding a comfortable dimness for
the Bryn Mawr girls and _ their
dates.

The proverbial punch of ginger
ale, grape juice and orange juice
Nas served by two mysterious
white-coated—waiters.

However, the newly-formed ov-
chestra was the focal point of the
evening. John Hauser played the
piano, Stan Thawley the trumpet,
Ted Hardy the drums, and Jack
Galey the tenor and alto saxa-
phones (alternately)! They were
strictly “vout” in dark glasses, and
played the newest songs with
gusto.



Over Emphasis
On “Half Truths”

We are surrounded by “all the
alternatives, all the jittle gods,
which people are setting up _ in-
stead of the true God,” declared
Mrs. Edward Huss Jones (Louisa
E. Russell, B. M. ’38), Director of
Christian Education at
Church, Washington,
Chapel on November 17. Because
to which he gives his allegiance,
various half-truths are commonly
exalted to the position of gods.

Two “blind spots” arise from
faith in a natural progress inde-
pendent of God. Not only does
evil progress as rapidly as good,
but also evil does. not “grow into
good” by itself. :

Knowledge, especially science,
constitutes another much used al-!
ternative to God. Knowledge in
itself cannot be the answer to





man’s needs; yet, if “it goes deep
enough, it can lead us to God.”
The false worship of success is
an example of the idolatry which
occurs when a partial truth is set
up as the whole God. Similarly,
women may try to make love and
marriage their God, but “one can
achieve maturity in marriage only
against the background of the real
and living God.” Nor can self-
realization, often termed “human-
itarianism,” replace God, for the
brotherhood of man has no mean-
ing without the fatherhood of God.
No one of these alternatives to
God is really apart from Him. All
belong to Christianity, yet in or:
der to set themselves up as gods,
Bees deny God. Devotion to these
ideals must be a part of devotion
God, but no ones... em r
perp Him; “only by loving God
ean your heart, soul’ mind, and
strength find its outlet and satis-



faction,” .

New Plans Made
By Drama Group

Students interested in drama
will be given an opportunity -tv
try their hands at all phases of
the art under the auspices of the
Independent Drama Group. This
organization is an outgrowth of
the Experimental Theater which
was begun last year but because
of lack of time was unable to un-

Chrigt |
Ds .0.n Ndertake any major project.

The object of the Independent
Drama Group is to give everyone
with an interest in the theater a
chance to read and direct plays,
act the parts that have always ap-
pealed to them, and increase their
knowledge of theatrical work as a
whole. The members of the group
plan to act out scenes from vari-
ous plays, and sometimes a group
of scenes all centering about a sin-

jgle theme, and then discuss and

criticize them. They are also hop-
ing to be able to put: on some sort
of dramatic presentation at Arts
Night.

B. M. Beats Drexel:

“The Fv Mawy first hockey

from Drexel 4-1.

Poll to Follow
Mass Discussion
Of Big May Day

“It is very. important for stu-
dents to attend the May Day Mass
Meeting,” to be held in Goodhart,
November 25th, at 8:15, stressed
Meg Urban, President of the Un-
dergraduate Association. “If a
majority in the subsequent poll
votes through Big May for 1948,
every student will be expected to
participate,” she explained.

Speakers at this meeting will
discuss the possibility of giving
Big May Day again. Mrs. Man-
ning and Miss Oppenheimer, as
members of the faculty and as
alumnae, will present both sides
of the question. Louise Ervin, *A9,
will give the pros and Nancy Mar-
tin, *49, will give the cons from
the student point of view. Mem-
bers of this class were chosen to
speak, because the Junior Class
will bear the major student re-
sponsibility if there is a Big May
Day in 1948.

Movies of past May days will
be shown at the meeting, and
there will be an opportunity for
questions and discussion. The stu-
dent poll will decide whether or
not there will be Big. May Day
next year. Its results do not, how-
ever, affect the possibilities of Big
May Days further in the future.

The May Day question must be
decided this fall. If it is passed
by the students, it must be brought
up for discussion before the Fac-
ulty and the Board of Dirctors,
and plans must be started.

Down in the non-resident locker
room hang two jackets with shiny
discharge buttons peeking through
the lapels. They belong to Ellen
Mary Jones, ex-SPAR, and Kath-
erine Rourke, ex-WAVE, both now
Bryn Mawr freshmen.

Ellen, delighted with Bryn Mawr
College, its students, its courses,
and its friendly atmosphere, is
studying Biology, Spanish, Eng-
lish Composition, and History of
Art this year. She hasn’t yet de-
cided on what her major is going
to be, but she “kind of thinks”
she’d “sort of like” to work in a
museum after graduation. She is
enjoying all of her courses, and,
although She finds Biology very
difticult, she feels that it is neces-
sary to a rounded education, and
is glad to have the opportunity to
fearn about it.

Enlisted in the SPARS in April
of 1948, she served until January
of,1946, and was commissioned in

1944. It was her job to investigate
cases of misconduct among merch-
ant seamen. Ellen wanted to con-
gratulate the Bryn Mawr under-
graduates on their maturity. “Ev-
eryone seems so aware of what is
going on in the world,” she de-
clared.

Katherine Rourke’ enjoyed her
thirteen months in the service very
much. Before that, she was a re-
porter for the Philadelphia In-
quirer, and she hopes to return
to the same kind of work after
graduation. Katherine finds Bryn
Mawr her first choice, living up to
her expectations. She thinks all
of. her courses (American Govern-
ment, Biology, English -Composi-
tion and Intermédiate French) are
extremely interesting, but she ad-
mitted that she is “not very good
in science.” Katherine bemoaned
the loss of her faculty to memor-
ize. Aside from that, however, she
is not having too much difficulty
in getting back to studying.

_Thé twenty-fourth Rare Book
Room éxhibit, currently on dis-
play in the Library, is featuring
several specimens chosen from the
collections left to the College last
fall by Howard Levi Gray, former
head of the History department.

Dr. Gray, who died on Septem-
ber 16, 1945 bequeathed his entire
library of approximately 650 rare
books on history, literature, and
art to the Bryn Mawr College Li-
brary. In addition, he left his
collections of prints and valuable
pieces of Chinese art to the Art
department.

Prominently displayed are the
five Incunabula, books printed: in
the year 1500 or before. Probably
the oldest object on exhibition,
however, is a Chinese vessel which
dates back to approximately 2000
B. C. Other very old pieces being '
displayed are the Chinese tomb
figures from the Han To T’ang dy-
nasties. Their date has been set
at approximately 200 B. C. to 800
A. D.

A painting on silk from the
Ming dynasty, which is dated at
about 1400. to 1600 A. D., is also
on display in the Rare Book Room.
Other objects on exhjabie-. ->>sen.
from Dr. Gray’s Chinese art col-

Future Hope and Terror :

The children, Gladys and Henry,

representing the hope and terror |

for the future, were played by
Sheila Tatnall and Ned Coale. Un-
fortunately, Wilder, engrossed
with the end of the war in the last
act, seems to forget the character
of Gladys, so that Sheila, a little
wary in this portion of the play,
did not play the part with the
same real understanding or bound-
less enthusiasm with which she
played the little girl so success-
fully in the preceding acts. Ned
Coale injected the boyish aspect
into the part of Henry, and yet
was at-the same time especially
convincing as the self-tormented
‘Cain, the murderous unresolved
element of mankind.

Geraldine Warburg spoke her
lines with a voice of doom that did
not lack perfect diction. Although
her use of gesture was not always
natural;" she was sinister and
threatening as the fortune-teller.
The effect of the silver and green
make-up of her sharp features was
just another detail of excellent
technique.

Varied Response in Audience

The principal. actors and ac-
tresses_and the subordinating cast
seemed to make a real and pro-
fessional effort to put over the
mood of the play to their audience,
which seemed to ‘respond to dif-
ferent elements Saturday night
than in the first performance.

It was unfortunate that since so
many people had had an essential
part in producing and acting in
the play, that at least the last few
of the seven curtain calls did not
include the whole cast, in spite of
the professional effect of the “fam-
ily portrait.” It was the one time
that formality could have been
sacrificed.

Skilled, Directing by Thon

More than to anyone credit is
due Mr. Thon, whose casting, and
expert directing with particular
attention to such details as ges-
ture and split-second timing, made
the performance a success. With-
out him the admirable cast, work-
ing with a particularly suitable
play such as this, could never have
done: so well. i



Committee sponsored a Conference
for College Age Youth at Swarth-
more last week-end, which was at-
tended by Ellen Cary ’47. This
was one of the A.F.S.C. projects
sponsored on campus by the Bryn
Mawr League. Ellen reported that
there were several interesting
speakers among whom were Wil-
liam Hubben, editor of the Friends
Intelligencer, who asked for a re-
vival of active liberalism rather
than —merely~-passive-—theorising
with so much sentimentality as
was’ evident between the wars.
Ellen felt that his main theme was
that everyone must work for free-
dom with social action on a large
scale.

A second speaker, Wilfred Wel-
lock, British journalist and Labor
M. P. spoke on economic systems,
Saying that the Industrial Revo-
lution led to struggles for. markets
which in turn led to war. He add-
ed that unemployment was impos-
sible in Russia if the original plan
were carried out. However, since
1930 incentive wages have been
paid with discrepancies growing
between wages as in the capitalist
systems.

Another speaker, Bayard Rus-
tin, a young man outstanding in
peace and intercultural organiza-
tions spoke on the Future of In-
ternational Cooperation. He be-
lieves that government comes as &
by-product of peace which is
brought about by unity. He pro-
posed four elements to offset the
pessimistic view that America
should either conquer the world or
be destroyed by the atomic bomb.
There were (1) Disarmament; (2)
Economic freedom; (3) Limitation
of sovereignty by delegation to a
central authority; (4) Spiritual
unity around a common ideal.

meeting at which they optimistic-

Maas, and Mr. Temianka, was al- |

most uniformly perfect, led by Mr.
Maas, the cellist.’ Both entrances
and other timing were equally well-
observed, and the finale especially
gave the players opportunity to
display their talents as virtuosi.

The second quartet, by the mod-
ern Hungarian composer, Belz
Bartok, Opus 7, No. 1, in A minor,
an unfamiliar one to this reviewer,

was as beautiful and interesting as |

one has come to expect of Bartok’s
music. . The adagio. movement was
lovely, opening with a duet he-
tween yiolin and viola and broad-
ening into a trio with the second
violin, until the deep bass notes of
the cello joined to form a remin-
iscent, drifting Song. The rest of
the quartet was less classically
melodic, employing much of Bar-
tok’s characteristic dissonance and
studied counter-rhythms, particu-
larly ‘similar to those in his Mik-
rokosmos: for the piano.

Final quartet was the first Ras-
umofsky quartet by Beethoven,
Opus 59, No. 3, in C, an excellent

Self-Gov Posts
Additional Rule

In a recent meeting of the Self-
Government Board, discussion of
several issues led to the five addi-
tions to the Self-Gov rules, con-
cerning signing out, walking to
and from the station after dark,
telephoning the halls in emergen-
cies, the wearing of athletic cos-
tume to classes, the Merion Co-
op. The new, rules are as follows:

When signing out, particulauly
in the overnight book, students
with the sathe last name are to
put their initial or, if the initial is
the same, they are to sign their
first name,

The Lantern Man meets every
train from the 7:09 on, each eve-
ning. From this time on, students
are responsible for not walking to
or from the Local alone.

When, inthe case of emergency,
a student must call the Warden,
she is to try the student phone as
well, if the Warden cannot be
reached on her own phone.

People who wish, for a specific
(and important) reason( to wear
athletic costume to certain class-
es, should petition the Self-Gov.

Executive Board for special per-

mission.

Difficulties in Underground

Then our second “Parisienne”,
Danielle Chavy:

It certainly seems queer to you
every European has
taken part. in an underground
movement during the past few
years, but that is the case with
me too, and that fills the most im-
portant pages in my life’s history
so far. _My,father was a staff-
officer in General Delattre de Tas-
signy’s division and he arranged
me a position as a liaison-agent.
I used. to carry messages, arrange
meetings in small Parisian Cafes |
and that sort of thing. Then I spent |
a most wonderful period in Cor-
sica travelling almost all the time
between the northernmost and the
southernmost point of the island,
that is from the British Navy to
the American Air Force which was
a real job and not only a recreation
tour in good company as you seem
to think. You ought to have seen
those impossible mountain roads.
(The last attack eines at the
interviewer, whose expression for
some reason annoyed her). Well,
then I left the sunshine of Corsica
and_spent-a—year—in the fog of
England. And now I am here in
America. (But not completely, I
think, for on the desk I see a beau-
tiful picture of the Scottish High-
lands with an underlying text: My
Heart is in the Highland).
