European Peace
Depends on Food,
‘Explains Mr. Rich

Rich Warns Against Rumors

And Statistics of Ample
Food Abroad



Goodhart, October 5: “There can
be no peace in Europe while na-
tions starve,” stressed Mr. John
Rich, Associate Secretary of ‘the

American Friends Service Com-
mittee, in the first War Allignce
Assembly of this year. Food or
win the war and will win ‘the
peace, and the future is largely
dependent on the feeding of Eur-
ope now, and in the next four or
five years.

It is difficult to conceive the
vastness of this problem of feed-
ing, said Mr. Rich, and to envisage
at the same time its peculiarity
and poignancy. He cited an exam-
ple of a village in Spain that had
lived for a year without bread,
and maintained a meager exist-
ence on oranges alone—this when
bread is a basic commodity in
Europe, and comprises two-thirds
of the food supply.

Practical Question

The great practical question to
be faced is that of engineering, how
we are to get the food supplies to
Europe and how we are to get
them there in time. It is not gen-
cally pai that the average
individual food requirement per
year is one half-ton. No foreign
relief could ever meet that figure,
and a great deal of our supplies
will get there too late.

(But we have come to a period in
the war when we can _ seriously
consider this problem, added Mr.
Rich. We must be extremely care-
ful not to be carried away by
“glittering statistics’ and reports
such as that of ample food in Nor-
mandy or in Paris. “as

Mr. Daniel Will Speak
At Alliance Assembly
OnPAC in’44 Election



Mr. Franz Daniel, Chairman of
the Philadelphia Political Action
Committee, will speak at the first
of two co-ordinated War Alliance
Assemblies on Tuesday, October
17 at 12:30. He will discuss the
PAC and the 1944 Election.

After graduation from the Un-
iversity of Wisconsin in 1927,
Mr. Daniel did three years of
graduate work at the Union The-
ological Seminary. He then be-
came an active participant in the
labor movement, organizing the

be Cab Workers. As general
organizer for the Textile Workers

Union and the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America, he
toured the country, especially

concentrating his efforts in the
South.

In Philadelphia, Mr. Daniel. be-
came co-director of the short-lived
United Labor Committee. This
year, he took up his present posi-
tion with the PAC, still maintain-
ing his status as organizer for the
ACWA.

Lieutenant-Governor John C.
Bell, Jr., will speak at the second
assembly the following week, Oc-
tober 24, for Dewey. At both of
the meetings, questions from the
floor will be welcomed.

Typhus, Social Ostracism Threaten Rhoads
As “Something in the Main” Clogs Plumbing



By Patricia Platt, °45
On Sunday, tober 8, the
plumbing in Rhoads rebelled. It
remained incommunicado, refusing

to divulge its grievance. It even
re-erupted that night. But plushy
Rhoadsités, used fo swaggering

around campus, took it quite per-
sonally. It is humiliating to run
to Rock to brush your teeth.

The first symptoms of discon-
tent in subterranean regions oc-
curred at one A. M. Sunday morn-
ing. Miss Lord made the unhappy
discovery, and for the rest of the
day Rhoads, to a woman, dashed to
turn on the taps every half hour,
only to be greeted by a reasonable
facsimile of the death rattle. When
we said “How long, O Lord!” to
ourselves a little too loudly, we
found that it might be days before
we could take a bath.

Wild rumors began to make the
circuit, hinting that Rhoads would
not be fed until the plumbing was
fixed. This proved idle, as grounds-
men rallied to the situation by run-
ning a hose from the Deanery gar-
den into the kitchen window. An-
interesting aquatic spectacle re-
sulted when the hose burst in three
different places, turning the Dean-
ery garden into a second Versailles.

“something in the main,” and pro-
ceeded to excavate the Rhoads en-
virons.

The ingenuity of the grounds-
men was tried and was not found
wanting. Mr. Matthews, dashing
up on Sunday morning, ascertained
that the trouble was outside the
building, as the meter was regis-
tering almost nothing. Ergo—
somewhere between Rhoads and
the main road there is something
blocking a main, but it may take
days to find it. Rhoads, faced with
typhus and social ostracism had to
be saved. Inspiration struck, and
a pipe was connected to Goodhart,
so that by evening the taps no
longer gurgled.

The plumbing was not appeased.
On Sunday night train - weary
week-enders prepared ‘to ablute.
They found to their dismay that
while there was water, it was not
hot. Rhoads, philosophically, went
to bed, unaware of the great flood
that deluged: the basement. A hot
water pipe had burst and Mr. Mat-

Burns Plans Series
Of Lectures Dealing

The Anna Howard Shaw lecture
series is to be given this year by
Dr. Eveline M. Burns, who has
chosen for her subject Social Se-

course of lectures given every
three years by persons eminent in
politics, social science or other

Political Clubs Plan
Meetings, Speakers,
Community Activity









One week closer to November
7th, rabid Republicans and Demo-
crats have turned on the heat in
an effort to rally greater numbers
behind their respective forces.
More concretely, both groups
have had initial meetings, with
attendance well above the 50
mark, have elected officers and
have arranged specific activities.

Coming into being officially last
Tuesday, the Bryn Mawr Young
Republicans’ Club is headed by
Miriam Pottle ’46, chairman. The
club looks beyond mere campus
rabble-rousing; its members will
work in booths, sell Dewey-Brick-
er dollar certificates, distribute
buttons and act as messengers
among the various headquarters
in Philadelphia.

Further, the Dewey-backers
will provide information and as-

s Pledge Service

In Volunteer Drive for War Effort

Undergraduate Council Plans
Attempt at 100 Per Cent
Cooperation .



The response to the two-day
registration for the Undergradu-
ate Volunteer’ Activities Program,
as far as it can be ascertained at
this date, is an approximate 350
students out of a possible 548.

In relation to other years, this
response is an excellent one, al-
though it is not the 100 percent
turn-out for which the Under-
graduate Council had hoped. Many
students, however, are already do-
ing unregistered war work, and a
number of Freshmen have _ not
yet felt ready to pledge three
hours of their time.

In a final effort. to offer an op-
portunity to any undergraduates
who were unable to sign up _ last
week, the U. V. A. P. will have
an evening registration from 8-10
on Thursday, October 12. Any
interested graduate students,
maids and porters, or faculty are
urged to register at this time.

ous volunteer activities is as fol-

The United Nations

An issue has come before us this week that transcends
all home front politics. ‘The publication of the Dumbarton
Oaks proposals is a challenge to everyone in the world—and
particularly to Americans of our generation. This first
glimpse of our post-war world should be scrutinized, evalu-
ated, and accepted. Perhaps it lacks the crusading spirit of
the Covenant of the League, adorned with grandiose allusions
to “aggression” and the sanctity of territorial integrity. But
it is auspicious that after this war we may start with the real
and ascend to the ideal, instead of vice versa.

The proposed charter for “The United Nations” is not,
and cannot be a blue-print of the type so fashionable in the
Culbertson era. Its framers admit that there are vital ques-
tions, like the destiny of the League and the Mandate: system,
that are unsolved. The ticklish matter of sovereignty is by
no means settled. Yet certain broad trends are laid out on
realistic principles,

“The United Nations” charter tells more and less than
the Covenant of the League. In its twelve chapters are out-
lined the machinery for guaranteeing world security. It pro-
vides for a Security Council of eleven members, with six per-
manent seats alloted to big powers. There is an Assembly,
an International Court of Justice, and a Secretariat. It is
open to all “peace-loving” nations. ‘These organs, however,
are not sharply delineated as in the Covenant of the League.
Nor are conditions of withdrawal mentioned, nor explicit ec-
onomic sanctions, nor any kind of boundary guarantees, as
in Article 10. In short, the United Nations are weighing
their commitments well. The stress is laid on flexibility, pro-
vision for peaceful change, and a focus of international at-
_ tention on social and economic problems. The new organiza-
tion concentrates on prevention rather than mere cure.

Most revealing of all is the commitment, never made be-
fore, to keep military supremacy in the hands of an interna-
tional organization. The issue of disarmament is side-step-
ped. It is tacitly implied in the assumption of military con-
trol in the transition period by the “Big Four” that force will
be a preliminary instead of a last resort in threats to future
world security.

q “The United Nations,” like the League, will be created
by the attitude of the nations accepting it. The proposed
charter, by sticking to reality, should eliminate the duplicity
that nestled so neatly under the mask of idealism after World
War I. The world, as in 1919, is looking to America to take
the lead. If this war has taught us anything constructive,
it is that the United States is not another planet. We now
have before us a first step towards realizing what we are

fighting for. : li

Plans for post-war Germany

were discussed by Miss Robbins
in Current Events on Monday
night: Recognizing the fact that
very little information has been
publicized, Miss Robbins . proceed-
ed to explain and analyze the var-
ied proposals. Roughly, the pro-
grams fall into two trends of
thought, “the hard and the soft.”
Mr. Morgenthau’s plan, which is
still. unofficial, falls into the for-



mer of the two categories, rec-
ommending:

1. To remove all industry com-
pletely.

2. To close all mines.

3. To supply no food or relief.

4. To give the Saar Valley to
France, and to divide East Prus-
sia between Russia and Poland.

5. To provide armies of occupa-
tion. za

6. To break large farms into
smaller ones under peasant con-
trol. /

7. To give no reparation.

Miss. Robbins pointed out that
this plan is too drastic to be prac-
tical, although contrary to popu-
lar opinion, she does not feel that
it has substantially aided German
propaganda.

Another program is that of
Sumner Welles, who has suggest-
ed dividing Germany into districts
—west, south, and east. Welles
bases his argument on the disun-
ion of Germany, citing the fact
that the kingdom of Bavaria only
disappeared with the end of World

War I. This plan would aid_ in

Student Attacks ‘Ads’ in News
As Being Childish, Careless
And Unintellegent

To the Editor of the CoHege News:

There has existed for some time
within the pages of the College
News a deplorable condition which,
it seems to me, deserves some
public attention: the unintelligent
and, indeed, “corny” character of
the advertisements which current-



ly appear in the News, especially:

those of ‘the College Inn and
Jeannette’s.

The advertisements are un-
doubtedly produced in a moment of
preoccupation with catchy word
combinations as the road to suc-
cess in advertising. Were this
method used intelligently and
carefully, much could be achieved;
as the “ads” stand now, they ap-
pear little less than ridiculous, and
the desirable effect of “catching
the eye” is pretty well nullified by
the ensuing disgust which is likely
to be the reaction of intelligent
readers.

Moreover, while their attention

is focused upon the need for

catchy words, the Business Board
tends to overlook another requisite
of successful advertising when it
fails, to suit its approach to its
audience. Those “ads” do little
credit to the intelligence of their
readers, faculty or student, nor do
they indicate a very high opinion,
on the part of the Board, of that
intelligence. Surely it is possible

POLITICALLY SPEAKING

The Philadelphia Record is “fighting alone’ for Roose-

velt.

The New York Herald Tribune has thrown the entire

the Executive Board,

support of its editorial policy behind Dewey. ‘The College
News regrets that it is unable to make a stand, since its ed-
itorial board is irreconcilably split, with a 12-8 vote in favor
of Dewey. We will present weekly, therefore, two opinions
on major campaign issues, beginning with one on the fourth

term.
ROOSEVELT

Theoretically no one believes in
a fourth presidential term as a
necessary or desirable condition in
a democracy. But in emergencies
we cannot pause for wistful recol-
lection of normal conditions, much
less consideration of ideal ones.

Quite xt trom.any other con-
sideratjon of merit, Mr. Dewey has
against him the very. serious
charge of inexperience. Now, ex-
perience is ordinarily not a cam-
paign issue. But when:a nation is
choosing a man to represent her
at the peace table, she is involved
in no ordinary~-campaign. She has
no time for trial and error. Can
Roosevelt with the momentous
statements of the Atlantic Char-
ter, of Teheran, and of Quebec be-
hind him, be adequately replaced
by a-mah who has never given a
real statement of his ideas on in-
ternational policy? Together
Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin
have painstakingly laid the
groundwork of an_ international
peace structure. It would be dis-
astrous should any of them ~with-
draw at the crucial moment.

Recognizing this fact, Mr. Dew-
ey’s supporters have raised the cry
of “domestic administration.” Well,
what of domestic administration?
Statistics show that employment
was at a higher level in 1940 than
in 1929. The record also shows a
phenomenally successful conver-
sion to war industry just two
years later. Certainly the admin-
istration which could engineer this
is the best qualified to tackle the
problem of reconversion.

The Republican last ditch is a
catch phrase, “the indispensable
man.” Vice President Wallace had
the best answer to that when he
said, “The real quéstion is, who is



most dispensable?’

A



DEWEY

Only when the old horses refuse
to leave the traces does the prob-
lem of changing horses in mid-
stream become difficult. Only when
the Democrats attempt to talk us
into a frenzy of crisis, do the tech-
nical complications of* changing
administrations now become ap-
parently insurmountable.

Neither the winning of the war,
nor the making of the peace rest
so heavily on the personal should-
ers of Mr. Roosevelt as to forbid
our changing Presidents. Mr.
Dewey has stated that he, as all
other. presidents without person-
ally earned military rank before
Mr. Roosevelt, will leave military
direction in the non-partisan hands
of our generals. No peace pro-
posals made by the United Na-
tions have been so radically Roose-
veltian as to make it impossible
for Dewey to carry on in his place.

The main issue does not lie in
the indispensability of Mr. Roose-
velt, but rather in the consequences
of another term of this particular
administration. This is an admin-
istration first elected on the prom-
ise of employment fer all, which
in nine years of peace could only
suggest that we plow under our
crops and slaughter @ur pigs, be-
cause America was a land of too
much plenty under a government
with too little constructive under-
standing of its problems.

It would be the Fourth Term of
an administration which after
years of war has been able to set
up only a confused and overlap-
ping bureaucratic system for the
running of the war in Washington.
The members of their system are
still resigning in disgust, and their
heads are in discord. —

There is a time for change, and

a time for action. The time is now.



Thomas Explains Decision
~~ Of Self-Gov't Board
On Campussing

To the Editor:

For the past few years we, as”
felt
very limited in our scope of, “pen-
alties for the infractions of rules”.
In fact so much so that often we
have not felt satisfied with a de-

have

‘cision —disturbed by the feeling

that the penalty did not exactly
correspond to the This
feeling easily leads to that furth-

er consideration—that the deci-
sion might be unjust. For in-
stance, a certain offense may not
seem to warrant a measure as
severe as suspension, with all the
restrictions on action and the in-
terference with studies that this
entails; on the other hand, how-
ever, campussing after 10:30 P. M.
might seem an ineffective measure
for so serious an offense.

offense.

In order to deal justly with a
situation such as this, we _ feel
the need for a wider range of
possible measures, which would
enable the Board to take a more
efficient and just action. After a
long and very careful discussion,
we have decided to introduce “day-
campussing”’, an “in - between”
measure to be used rarely, and
only after the greatest considera-
tion and forethought. This will
by no means be a substitute for
the campussing after 10:30 P. M.
that we know today, but its pur-
pose will be to provide that furth-
er possible measure when the
campussing we have now would
not apply, and when the penalty
of suspension would seem too se-
vere.

We feel that this wider scope
of measures should enable the
Board to make a more fair deci-
sion, and should give the entire
Association a greater. satisfaction
and confidence -in our action.

Reed Urges Bond Purchases;
Campaigns for Missing
36 Per Cent

To the Editor:

Three hours of volunteer work
a week is not the only contribu-
tion we of Bryn Mawr can make
to the war. Buying war stamps
—if less spectacular—is no less
vital. In thinking and planning
for the peace that lies ahead we
must remember that the war is not
over, Much hard fighting lies
ahead if the war is to be carried
to its end. For this we will need
a steady supply of ammunition
and equipment which can be paid
for only by the purchase of War
Savings Stamps and Bonds.

Bryn Mawr’s past record for the
purchase of War Stamps has been
good, and yet it has been poor. A
monthly average of $1000 is good
but only 64% of the campus buy-
ing even a 10c stamp is poor. This
year we are campaigning to get
the missing 36%. It is our chance
to present to the world a united
front. Too long we have let the
64% carry our burden.

On Thursday and Friday, Oc-
tober 12 and 18 you will be asked
by agents in your halls to fill out
pledge cards. A minimum of $2.00
monthly per person would put us
over lastyyear’s figures. You can
afford to give better than you can
afford not to. Pledge—and then
Give! ee
Sincerely,

child would necessarily have more
handicaps to endure, what with
receiving seventy-eight letters
-every morning, asking, very ma-
ternally of course, whether she
had brushed her teeth, combed
her hair and generally been ma-
ma’s little darling. Of course,
too, there’s the problem of how
the male population is going to
feel when it spends all of Satur-
day night discussing the psycho-
logical background of a twelve-
year-old with a foster mother.

The program, which has attain-
ed such popularity on campus, is

White Stresses Need _
For Graduate Nurses





Deanery, October 9. At the
year’s first Vocational Conference,
Miss Lucy Gordon White of the
National Nursing Council for War
Service stressed the urgency of
the need for graduate nurses and
clarified the role of college women
in this profession, now and after
the war.

Because of the great wartime
need, said Miss White, the govern-
ment passed the Bolton Act which
provided funds for many scholar-
ships in the Cadet Nurse Corps.
This was an effort to hasten the
training of sufficient numbers of
nurses to meet the minimum re-
quirements of six nurses to every
thousand army men, and _ three
nurses to every thousand men in
the Navy.

Such a scholarship gives a
trainee her tuition, books,
forms, all other expenses, and a

small stipend throughout her
training period, which is about
thirty months. In return, the

nurse must promise to work for
the duration and six months after
the war in an essential service.
This work includes position in civ-
ilian hospitals, public health cen-
ters, and veteran hospitals as well
as the care of emergency war cas-
ualties.

Girls with college background
are greatly needed in administra-
tive offices in all branches ofthe
profession, and for overseas duty
in teaching rehabilitation meth-
ods, as well as for work in the
public health field in this country.
Psychiatric nursing will also re-
quire college graduates. The field
of nursing is expected to flourish
after victory, in spite of the large
number of wartime nurses,

uni-|

Priestly, tHe playwright’s wife,
and Miss Anna Freud, daughter
of Sigmund Freud, direct the chil-
dren in educational and _ recrea-
tional activities.

The cost of keeping one child
for a year is one hundred and
eighty dollars. The children are
told who the parents are and write
to them personally. A_ personal
history and photograph are also
sent to the parents. In _ request-
ing the child, sex should be spec-
ified.

Robot bombings have greatly
increased the need for this plan
and the organization hopes that
everyone will be anxious to as-
sume the temporary role of~moth-
erhood. At this writing, both
class and hall presidents are pon-
dering the possibilities of adop-
tions. :

Barbarous Inter-Hall
Games Start Sunday



The brightest and most barbar-
ous feature of the hockey season
is the inter-hall games. Hall
teams, dressed in everything from
scholastic gowns to night gowns,
make up in spirit and determina-
tion what they lack in skill. Songs
are composed, cheering squads
@rilled, and halls turn out in-toto
to parade onto the battle field.

Latent talent is discovered
among various wardens and week-
end dates. Fullbacks as center
forwards, left wings as center-
halves add to the fun, confusion,
and battered shins. In fact, so
many battered shins resulted from
last year’s hall games that Dr.
Leary has requested less violence
this season.

Last year’s furious final match
ended in a tie between the Hockey
Hot Shots of Pembroke and the
Denbigh Wabbits. ‘The first game
this fall will:take place next Sun-
day between Rhoads and the com-
bined forces of Denbigh and Rad-
nor. On Sunday the 22nd, Rock
will meet Merion; Pembroke will
play the winner of the first match
on the 29th. The championship
will be played off on Sunday, De-
cember 5th. :

Peace Food Problems
Explained by Mr...Rich



Continued from Page 1

food operations is the feeding of
students of college age. It is easier
to revive starving babies, explain-
ed Mr. Rich, than persons in early
maturity. The latter become phys-
ically and mentally afflicted in an
incurable manner through pro-
longed hunger.

The spiritual side of the prob-
lem Mr. Rich stressed as import-
ant. Everything has to be done
outside of the military program so
as not to hinder operations there.
Thus the problem ultimately rests
with the will of the people who
have the power to act in their
hands.

Huxley Gives Denunciation

Of Superficial Living
In New Book



by Patricia Platt °45

Aldous Huxley’s' Time Must
Haye a Stop is a little more bizarre
than its predecessors, but has not
lost their scalpel touch. It has a
few of the accepted qualities of
the novel, and a spattering of re-
ligion, metaphysics, and pornog-
raphy. In it Huxley grapples with
the problems of human existence
as with an octopus, and can give
his readers all shades of sensation
from falling down a pit to aes-
thetic rapture. Time Must Have a
Stop has: more heart in it than
Huxley’s early cynical works, and
that is both its strength and its
weakness.

Plot

The plot concerns a_ golden-
haired youth of seventeen, with the
face of an angel, and practically
no character at all. By the end he
has developed a character—through
seduction, cheating and the sight
and sense of human suffering. This
is the deeper theme, trimmed with
brilliant and brittle denunciations
of the superficiality of life. Alle-
gorical in tone, Time Must Have
a Stop never descends to the realm
of everyday life. Huxley’s moral-
istic invective is an_ intellectual
fire, bright but not hot.

Transition

The theme of transition from
sensual to spiritual values paral-
lels Huxley’s own shift of inter-
est, particularly in the direction of
life after death. Time Must Have
a Stop is, pethaps, the most super-
natural of all Huxley’s novels.
Parts of it cannot fail to baffle the
reader. Eustace Barnack, the
hero’s uncle, dies early in the book
after leading a life of utter self-
indulgence. Every chapter there-
after is punctuated by glimpses of

his consciousness as he struggles
for his individuality against the
light that is knowledge of the good.
It is a bold stroke that verges on
the ludicrous, and reveals that for
Huxley the right and good are
present only in nonentities.

Formless Rebellion

As a novel, Time Must Have a
Stop is chaotic, static, fantastic,
and intellectually over - balanced.
As a manifestation of human in-
tellect it is awe-inspiring and rath-

INCIDENTALLY





Scrubwoman

Little did the college know it
was letting itself in for a bonus
when it charged one Denbigh Soph-
omore the regulation $10 fee for a
late change in the registration of
courses. Completely dollarless,
said Sophomore bemoaned her
fate to the smoking room at large,
claiming that she would have to
resort to scrubbing floors to pay
the fine. Denbigh’s spirit rose to
the occasion: ten one-dollar bets
were quickly laid, and she was
challenged to scrub the floors of
the Dean’s Office itself. In full
view of all the betters, the Dean’s
Office was scrubbed from Mrs.
Grant’s door to the desk of the
very surprised Miss Doiialdson.
The fine has been paid, but it is
rumored that the charwoman’s
union is about to file suit against
Denbigh.
Imaginative War Workers

The UVAP asked for campus
enthusiasm in registration days
last week, but it hardly expected
the Non-Reses’ turnout, which add-
ed two completely new depart-
ments of work to the schedule. One
group hinted mysteriously — that
while others might be content with
bandage-rolling and other such
prosaic pursuits, they were en-
gaged in secret work at the Phila-
delphia Psychological Institute. It

A less severé poliey is proposed

took a Non-Res Junior really to
astound the registration board,
however, by stating that she loves
chickens, and firmly believes that
the raising and care of chickens is
vital to victory. The UVAP drew
another ‘carefully ruled line, and
headed a column “Poultry.” An
announcement is expected to ap-
pear soon asking all Non-Reses to
refrain from giving the rest of
the college inferiority complexes
by counting unhatched chickens.
