Wileox Gives First Shaw Lecture

On “Rebuilding The World Economy”

“30 Years Trade War”
Produces Challenge
For U. S. Victor

Goodhart, October 4. In the first |
of six lectures on “Rebuilding the | ¥

World Economy”, Professor Clair
Wilcox compared tariffs and quo-
tas as methods of controlling trade
in his discussion of the causes and
results of the growing regimenta-
tion of trade since the first World
War.

“The tariff,’ said Mr. Wilcox,
“is the liberal method of strang-
ling trade ... and is consistent
with a free economy,” but a quota
system encourages public owner-
-ship and operation of foreign
trade, as well as bilateral trade
agreements between countries, in
which exports and imports balance
as nearly as possible and the use
of money is minimized. Eventu-
ally the government controls priv-
ate trade, and politics intrude into
trade relationships, for, although
private trade is non-discriminate,
government trade relations are al-
ways influenced by diplomatic con-
siderations.

‘Before the World Wars, contin-
ued Mr. Wilcox, world trade was
multilateral and “each country
balanced its accounts with the
world as a whole.” Now,.as a re-
sult of the widespread use of the
quota system, there are fewer
trade transactions between coun-
tries, the scope of markets and
sources of supply are restricted,
strong nations subdue weak na-
tions, and the economies of inter-
national trade are reduced. The
resultant economic warfare is re-
peated constantly in modern eco-
nomic history,jand it played a ma-
jor part in the second World War.

It is Mr. ‘Wilcox’s opinion that
the United States policy of pro-
tection made the regimentation of
trade after the first World War
necessary. The first World War
cut through the established chan-
nels of trade and shifted the fin-
ancial center from London (where

Growth of BMC
n Opening Talk

Goodhart, September 28: ‘The
sixty-fourth academic year, which
opens this morning, began some
time ago—at the latest last spring,
when graduate and undergraduate
fellowships were awarded and
undergraduate admissions deter-
mined,” began President McBride
at the opening assembly of the
college. Since September 23, she
continued, 265 students have en-
rolled to make the largest popula-
tion in Bryn Mawr history. The
College now numbers 719, 145 of
whom are registered in the Gradu-
ate School and 574 of whom are in
the Undergraduate School.

“The upperclass students report
well of the freshmen, as do those

of us who have interviewed them,”

she added. They are somewhat
more widely distributed geograph-
ically than the students of most
classes, with slightly larger per-
centages from the middle west and
the south. There were 133 different
schools which gave these 188 fresh-
men their final preparation, with
Madeira and Westover preparing
the largest number with five stud-
ents each.
New Graduate Center
“The larger college this year,”
President McBride explained, “is
the result of the Graduate Center
on the new campus across from
Faculty Row.” Although the build-
ing is open for students, it is “by
no means ready for its house-
warming” because of shortages
and delays: impeding conctruction.
Radnor also has “had its face lifted
—by a considerably smaller opera-
tion; but final inspection is not
yet invited.” Work on converting
the halls to AC current, originally
planned for this summer also had
to be postponed due to rising price
and a tight budget.

Mosquitoes, Ponies, Alexander
Enliven Life at Summer Camp

By - Elizabeth Nelidow ’51

“Does God give food directly to
us, or does he give it to the grocers
first?” Answering this kind of
question, \as well as taking the
ehildren for rides on Shetland
ponies and rescuing them from
locked johns, was all routine work
for the counsellors at the Bryn
Mawr Summer Camp, which flour-
ished at Cape May, New Jersey,
for six-weeks throughout June and
the beginning of July. Honey Pope,
who was there for three weeks as
assistant head to Doris Blackman,
chuckled non-stop all the time she
was talking about it. The children,
ranging from the ages of six to
nine who came in three installments
of two weeks each, were chosen by
the Family Society in Philadelphia.

Those in the first group were
apparently all fairly small and
manageable. At the end of the two
weeks, the counsellors had gained
confidence in their ability to handle
hordes of children . . . Then the

second group arrived. But where
were the pretty little infants they
expected? This group of giants
was terrifying. They were too big
for their clothes, too big for their

beds, and amazingly mature! The





counsellors’ self-confidence melted
away.

From the counsellors’ reports,
the two worst problems were the
mosquitoes, and Alexander. The
mosquitoes were reputed to be the.
size of birds, but the children didn’t |
seem to mind them, in spite of the
tremendous bumps raised on their
legs. And Alexander was apparent-

ly a junior Marco Polo, for he was |
forever disappearing under the

boardWalk to explore, and some-
one had to crawl in after him, call-
ing “Alexa-a-nder” until he regret-
fully reappeared.

Special mention should be made
of Mrs. Wheeler, and her cousin
Mrs. Reis, who were the nurse and
dietitian, respectively. They did a
wonderful job, and this was equally
true of Doris Blackman, who ran
the camp beautifully. All the girls
who were counsellors say the chil-
dren were so responsive and touch-
ing that it was the greatest fun
to work with them. There is always
a Christmas Party in the Common
Room before vacation for the chil-
dren who went to the camp, so if
you don’t believe how sweet they
were, come to the party this year

and see for yourself !

Activities Drive

Launched Today,
Finances League

Quota of $3300 Sought

For Summer Camp

Other Activities

Beginning on Wednesday, Octo-
ber 6 at 10 P. M. and lasting
through until the end of the week,
the Activities Drive will be taking
place on the campus. It represents
an appeal for funds on a voluntary
basis to-meet the financial needs
of the Bryn Mawr League. The
League is the only major under-
graduate organization which so-
licits money through contributions
of this type; the other four (Self-
Gov, Undergrad, the Alliance, and
the A. A.) are financed by the
Common Treasury dues.

The goal of this Drive is $3300,
and to meet it, 100% participation
must be insured. All students are
asked to contribute $7.50; how-
ever, it is up to the individual to
decide the amount which she wish-
es to give. Of the money thus
gained, $1900 is used towards the
Bryn Mawr Summer Camp, $1000
for the Hudson Shore Labor School
and $142 for the Maids and Por-
ters Dance. The remainder is util-
ized for the other League-sponsor-
ed activities, which include the
Haverford Community Center, the
Blind School, and the attendance
of students from college at the

week-end work groups and Red:

Cross conferences.
Hall Soliciting

Solicitors from each hall will be
visiting the students to obtain
their pledges for the Drive. The
amount of the donations may be
put on any one Pay Day or may be
divided between: various Pay Days.

‘Title Quarto’ Merge in ‘Counterpoint’;
Warburg and Rickerman Will Edit



Ann Seideman,
Marian Edwards

Report on NSA

Over 780 students, including ob-
servers from Sweden, Norway,
France, England and Canada,
representing almost 300 student
Jodies met in Madison, Wisconsin
from August 23-28 to attend the
United States National Student
Association Congress. The purpose
of this first Congress, explained
Marian Edwards and Ann Seide-
man, Bryn Mawyr’s delegates, was
to develop by means of the work-
shop system NSA projects and poli-
cies for the coming year.

The delegates spent two out of
five days in one of the eleven stud-
ent-led workshops. Through group
discussion and pooling of ideas and
plans, they outlined certain pro-
jects. These were then voted upon
in plenary session to be received
by the National Executive Council
as a working basis for the coming
year.

For example, the .workshop on
Relief Technics, which Marian at-
tended, drew up a project for co-
ordinating a national relief pro-
gram. This would provide for a
central office in Madison which
would not only act as a clearing
house for all information on the
‘methods of conducting a. campus
relief drive, but would also serve
colleges who wanted help in con-
ducting their own relief drives.
Much material distributed by
WSSF and NSA concerning relief
campaigns has already been given
to Lou Earle, head of Bryn Mawr’s
United Service Drive.

The Purchase Card System, a
project emanating from the work-
shop on Economic Problems in Edu-
cation, has been presented to our
Undergraduate Association for con-
sideration of its adoption at Bryn
Mawr. This. system, already. suc-
cessfully in .use. at. -the University

Both ‘Colleges to Have
More Space for
Writing
The Title board announces that
it is combining with the Haverford
Quarto under the name of Counter-
point. The editorial boards of both
magazines have felt that it was
unnecessary to have two publica-
tions with similar editorial policies
serving campuses so near to each
other and so closely connected. The
drama groups and Student Feder-
alists can be mentioned as ex-
amples of previous successful inter-

campus cooperation.

Counterpoint will be larger than
the present Title, since one of the
purposes of the combination is to
allow the inclusion of more mater-
ial. The editorship of Counterpoint
will be held jointly by Geraldine
Warburg °49, and Henry Ricker-
man, ’49. The Title board will re-
main unchanged, and will choose
the best work from Bryn Mawr.
The Quarto board will do the same
at Haverford. Then the whole board
of Counterpoint will meet together
for the final selection of publica-
tion material.

Marshall Outlines
Senate, Cut Rules

Goodhart, October 5. This morn-
ing Mrs. Marshall held the annual
assembly to explain the cut system
and review the rules of the Senate
governing academic work.

“Bryn Mawr’s cut system,” said

Mrs. Marshall, “depends onthe
‘human element’ which usually
means me.” (Cuts are not subject

to a numerical limit, but vary in
inverse proportion to the student’s
record. The rules of the Senate
cover the conduct of examinations
and all written and laboratory
work for courses. The main em-
phasis here is on.-absolute integy
rity in all work. Copies of. these
rules will be. distributed | in the
‘near future.



Sinister Couch, Sediietive Elboins

‘py Emily Townsend ’50

We learned “to bring ‘the heart
up from the pit of the stomach”.
We searched the Main Line for “a
sinister-looking couch”. We found
we could make sophisticated walls
by sticking old sawdust onto gluey
canvas. Whatever we were doing,
there were forty stage-struck stu-
dents at the Bryn Mawr Summer
Theatre who- will-remember-for a
long time those six ‘weeks un-
iquely compounded of laughter
and exhaustion.

The schedule was hard; it had to
be, to get five plays put on in thuse
six weeks. We had classes—act-
ing, directing, producing—in the
morning, rehearsals in the after-
noon, the play itself at night, and
then beer-parties or -stage-work,
as we felt inclined. There were
times when some of us did not get
to bed for forty-eight hours, and,
embarrassingly, fell asleep in class
the next morning. Naturally we
spent many pleasant hours grumb-
ling in the Pem West smoker, but
it was only a pose. We were fas-
cinated by the stories of Stanislav-
sky and his methods told us by
Miss Goldina, our acting coach. In



‘Complicate Summer Theatre Life

Mr. Thon’s directing class we leapt
at the chance to create, with two
chairs and one table, “Hell” or
“Frustration” on an empty stage.
We laughed hysterically on the
opening night of the season, as we
painted the third-act set for State.
of the Union during the second in-
termission.

The outside speakers were high-
lights in the week. -We practiced.
“looking seductive with the el-
bow” for Jose Limon, laughed for
days over the witticism of John
Mason Brown, tried to master the
theories of area-lighting with~
Stanley McCandless,’ and resolved
to work harder and more intelli-
gently after hearing the quiet re-
marks of Donald Oenslager.

From all of them we heard “the
facts of the theatrical profession”.
We were always being told, by
people who really knew what they
were talking about, that the
chances for an unknown, inexper-
ienced actor or playwright or
scene-designer were so’slight as to
be non-existent. We were strange-
ly undiscouraged. One of the com-
pany now has a job in the new mu-

Current Events

Dr. Herthe Krauss, speaking on
the subject of “What’s on the Ger-
man Mind?”, pointed out the wide
gulf between the attitude of an
American in Germany and _ that
of the average German himseif.
Americans, she said, think about
security—security in the sense of
ensuring a peaceful Germany; they
think about democratization —
about educating, the nation for
American democracy—about grati-
tude, which they both expect and
feel that they deserve, and, finally,
about the “pursuit of happiness,”
which, to many Americans, simply
means “being in on the gravy.”

And the Germans? They, said
Dr. Krauss, are concerned primar-
ily with none of these things. The
German people, because they are
“so close to the borderline of sur-
vival,” are concerned first and fore-
most with the essentials of every-
day living, with the reorganization
of their disrupted lives. A lack af
security faces them at every turn;









Collective Responsibility

Tonight at 10 P. M. the Bryn Mawr League launches its
Activities Drive. This is the League’s sole source of funds to

finance its many activities. True, the profits from the Soda
Fountain are used to supplement the sum allotted to the

Bryn Mawr Summer Camp; nevertheless, it still requires

a large amount of ingenuity to make ends meet at the camp.
The Hudson Shore Labor School was originally a Bryn Mawr
project and requires our assistance to continue its work.
That portion of the League’s funds used for the Maids and
Porters Dance, and for student participation in the Haver-

ford Community Centre and Blind School needs no éxplana-
tion. The League has promised aid to these groups; it must,

not let them down.

There are five organizations at Bryn Mawr of which each

of us is an ipso facto member. Commion Treasury dues which '

aré calculated to cover the financing of the other four are not

voluntary contributions.

Although it might be possible in
the future to combine the drive for League funds with these.

dues, at present the Activities Drive constitutes their means
of carrying on work. Membership in an organization carries
with it certain duties towards the group, participation in its
projects plus providing the indispensable prerequisite—suf-
ficient funds. Since the League is our social service organi-
zation, our first contribution along that line should and must
go to the Activities Drive. So when the solicitor knocks at
the door, remember our collective responsibility !



Discuss Elections

Political Leaders

A Three-Party Panel on the
forthcoming national elections was
presented tonight in Goodhart at
7:15 under the sponsorship of the
Alliance. One man from each of
the three major contending politi-
cal parties spoke on his party's
platform in relation to the nation’s
national and international prob-
lems.

Congressman Mitchell Jenkins
of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania
represented the Republicans; while
Mr. Louis M. Stevens, President
of the Foreign Policy Association
of Philadelphia, took the Demo-
cratic Party’s side in the panel,
and Mr. Gerald Shaflander, Chair-
man of the Progressive Party of
Pennsylvania, spoke on. his party’s
aims and ideals.

Miss Bettina Linn of Bryn Mawr
acted § as moderator. ‘

this is a condition generated large-
ly by the recent reform of cur-
rency and rooted also in the sepa-
ration of families, the scarcity of
commodities and money, high
prices, and unstable conditions of
housing and employment.
The Germans, said: Dr. Krauss,
take a fatalistic point of view
about these things—another war
seems to them inevitable; democra-
cy no better than any other way
of life—to them it is “just a word,
just a name; it’s not an ideal.”
She concluded, however, on a
note of optimism. In the younger
generation, she declared, the fu-
ture of Germany is to be’ found,
and it is not a hopeless one. The
young people of Germany do not
represent a “lost generation, but a
very idealistic one which will show
the way toward a stabler, more

‘Counterpoint’ Co-edit.
Explains Reason
For Merger

To the Editor:

In announcing the merger of the
“Title” and the “Quarto”, we feel
a few explanations are in order.
First of all, why have we done it‘
Because we feel that one large
Magazine can serve Bryn Mawi
and* Haverford better than twc
little ones. Because, artistically
and financially, cooperation is bet-
ter than competition. Secondly
how does the merger fit both cam-

/puses? It makes possible publica-

tion of more writing of more kinds
by more people. Our editorial policy
is to produce in print the bes.
writing that is submitted to us anc
to give the colleges a magazine
they will enjoy reading.

Finally, why ‘Counterpoint’?
Webster’s definition is “a melody
moving attended by a related
but independent melody”. (Neither
magazine loses its identity, but in
“Counterpoint” there will be a va-
riety of material and a breadth of
scope which neither the “Title” nor
the “Quarto” could tachieve alone.

This is an expertment and, like
all experiments, favorable external
conditions are indispensable to its
success. (We need support. By
support we mean {two things, con-
tributions and subscriptions, the
what to print and the wherewithal
to print it.

students, whereby the student is
entitled to a discount in buying

tails about this will be on the NSA
bulletin board in Taylor. Other
workshops were on Student Gov-
ernment Structure and Functions,
Student Cultural Welfare, Aca
demic Exchange, Travel and Re-
construction and Foreign Student
Hospitality.

One of the most important and
immediate issues facing the ses-
sion was whether to affiliate with
the Communist dominated Inter-
national Union of Students, since
we had severed relations with them
last March. It was finally decided
that NSA would cooperate with
IUS on specific projects but refrain | ?
from affiliation. The other alterna-
tive would have been for NSA to
participate in a western student
union in an attempt to initiate re-
forms Within IUS.

Reports on European conditions
from NSA’s international team, on
the NSA _ sponsored Tri- Nation
Tour, and on the MIT Foreign
Student Summer Project, which
enabled 62 students from Europe

Summer Theatre Had
Successful Season;
Gave Five Plays

To the Editor:

So many people have asked about
the outcome of the Bryn Mawr
College Summer Theatre that this
seems the best way to answer. We
had a company of forty men and
women from twenty different
schools and colleges including mem-
bers from as far west as Michigan,
as far south as Georgia. Eight
students were from Bryn Mawr
and among the other colleges
represented were Harvard,’ Yale,
Smith, Wellesley, and Vassar. Dur-
ing the six-week season five pro-
ductions were given, one each week,
including two original plays. State
of the Union opened the program
and drew an attendance of 843,
A Family Story (new) 671, How
Bright the Moon (new) 804, Ten
Little Indians 1102, Stage Door
1491. By the end of the season, in
addition to class-work, nearly every
member of the company interested
in acting had acted not only a sup-
porting part but also a leading
role. Production erew-work was
rotated so that everyone gained a
beginning knowledge of the entire
theatre (for State of the Union
four complete sets were built,
painted, and installed on the stage
within eight days). The lecturers
from New York—John Mason
Brown, Donald Oenslager, Jose Li-
mon, et al —were stimulating, in-
forming, and greatly appreciated.
The attempt to establish a repre-
sentative audience by keeping the
admission prices low was success-
ful (general admission was 60c,
reserved seats were $1.20). The
theatre did not lose money and,
benefitting from the experience
gained in this first season, will con-
tinue next summer.

Commendation is_ particularly
due Ann Seideman of Bryn Mawr,
Richard McKinley of Haverford,
and Wood Tate of Swarthmore for
their exceptional work as assis-
tants. Pictures of the productions
ore posted in Taylor, north entry.

Sincerely yours,

Mrs. Diez to Aid
Foreign Students

Attention all Bryn Mawr stud-
ents of foreign citizenship! In the
future all visa difficultiés, all pass-
port complications, in fact any

problem not directly connected with
academic work need not worry you.

With the percentage of foreign
students past the 10% mark, the
need for one person to advise these
students and to maintain an office
from which all communications to
Immigration authorities, various
consulates could be sent became
acute. Mrs. Martha M. Diez, there-
fore, will act at consultant for all
foreign students both graduate and
undergraduate. Mrs. Diez will be
available in her office (First. Floor
Library, North Side) Monday,
Wednesday and Friday 12-1 P. M.;
Monday -5 P. M.; Thursday 3-4
P. M. and by appointment. If neces-
sary, foreign students may call
her in her office at these times.

As suggested at the conference
of the National Association of
Faculty Advisers last spring, the
Foreign Student Adviser will act
as a central agent through whom
all matters concerning foreign
students will be settled. Her main
purpose is to make their stay at
Bryn Mawr and the U. S. as suc-
cessful as possible; so although
actual programs must be decided
upon by the student in conjunction
‘with her major department and the
Dean, Mrs, Diez will be happy to
assist any girl in planning ~~

On Thursday, September 30,
three of Bryn Mawr’s Modern
Dance Group did stretches to or-
gan music over WFIL television
in order to demonstrate one of the
many ways a lonely housewife
may pass the hours:for the better-
ment of her physical if not spirit-
ual self. They had been expecting
to demonstrate from 8:30 to 9:00
P. M. but found that the half hour
also included a fashion show, food
tips and other housewifely helps;
so they performed “for not more
than four minutes” according to
Miss Kilby who was in charge of
the -group. Sherry. Cowgill and
Nikki Owens accompanied Miss

Kilby in her stretches.

‘Rhinies’, Bryn Mawr Freshmen

Insure Future at Annual Dance

By Nina Cave ’50

Promptly at 8:45 last Friday
night the red-capped Haverford
Rhinies entered our pink and blue
gymasium with a whoop and a
shout. After a few minutes of com-
plete chaos, Louise Earle ’50,
Chairman of the committee, an-
nounced a “rabbit” or “multipli-
cation” dance and the annual Bryn
Mawr-Haverford Freshman dance
was underway.

Members of the committee had
anticipated some difficulties, be-
cause of the large number of Bryn
Mawr Freshmen this year. The
“Rhinies,” however, rose to the oc-
casion and dispelled any fears.
Upper classmen came to dance

later in the evening and helped to}.

make it a success. Frequent “John
Paul Joneses” and “Grand Right
and Lefts” scrambled the crowd
enough so that the prominent name
tags on the Haverfordians were
very useful.

Decorations of crepe paper and
balloons lent color and warmth to
the gym. Various shifdes of blue,
from royal to powder, were placed
on a general background of pink.
The basketball baskets were filled
to overflowing with large balloons

in a waterfall motif. (Unfortun-
ately, three-fourths of these pop-
ped before the dance began.) The
fifteen borrowed card-tables, scat-
tered at random along the edge of
the dance floor, had alternate pink
and blue tablecloths with bows of
the contrasting color.

The refreshments—fresh pressed |

cider and two kinds of gingersnaps
—were spicy and seasonal.

When Louise bade the revelers
good-night, a tired but happy
crowd took its leave. Happy that
is, except for one forlorn Fresh-
man who had lost his red hat in
the melee and stated that, “he
would probably have his head chop-
ped off in the morning.”

United States. During the 20’s
and early 30’s when the League of
Nations was making efforts to re-
store international trade relations,
the United States would not join
the League and, at the same time
that America demanded payment
of war debts, tariffs were raised
here. As a result tariffs were

raised all over the world, the

United” Kingdom abandoned free
trade, and there followed a period
of intense economic nationalism.
After the second World War, as-
serted Mr. Wilcox, “far more ser-
ious than the political destruction
was the complete destruction of
established relationships and the
uncertainty as to the future, both
the economic and the political.” As
production fell elsewhere, the
United States emerged as “the
