BMC Will Use
Wright School
As Grad Center

Separate Apartments,
Luxury, Welcome
Old Radnorites

The Board of Trustees has an-
nounced that plans are under way
to convert the Wright School, re-
cently purchased by the college,
into a residence center for gradu-
ate students. To be called the
“Graduate Center,” it will encom-
pass the main building and several
small apartments, located in small-
er buildings on the Wright School

property.
Ready in ’48

The new,center, which will house
approximately forty students in its
main building, will be ready for
occupancy in the fall of 1948, when
Radnor will again become an un-
dergraduate hall. The exact un-
dergraduate groups to be housed
in Radnor have not yet been de-
termined, but the ovérflow which
would have lived in East House
and been squeezed into the other
halls will find more room. It will
also enable the admission of about
twenty new students.

The separate apartments to be
situated on the Wright School
grounds will provide a welcome
innovation. As, Miss McBride re>
marked, it will be a nice change
for students accustomed to four or
five years of dormitory life. Stud-
ents living here will be able to eat
in the main dining reom and to
have the use of the common room
of the larger residence hall. In
addition, they will be extended the
same relative rates.

Lamps have already been placed
along the path across the hockey
field leading toward the Wright
School grounds. Plans are “being
drawn for necessary alterations in
the School buildings.

McBride Named
To E. T.S. Board

A significant honor has just been
awarded Miss McBride, that of be-
ing appointed to. the board of the
new Educational Testing Service.
The object of this new organiza-
tion (which has just received its
absolute charter) is to take over
the operation and research of the

three big educational organiza-

tions: the College Board, the test-
ing committee of the American
Council on Education, and the board
of the Graduate Record Examina-
tions. The Educational Testing
Service will thus be in control of
entrance examinations and intelli-
gence and. aptitude tests for
schools, colleges,..and graduate
schools.

Besides Miss McBride, there are
eleven other members on the
Board, among them James Conant,
President of Harvard, and Senator
Fulbright of Arkansas. Their aim
is to coordinate the work of vari-
ous educational research institu-
' tions and to promote more re-
search and the further develop-
ment of the possibilities of the
scientific appraisal - of education.
The Board is publishing a pam-
phlet, due to, appear soon, explain-
ing the “activities of the organiza-
tion.

As a result of the Regional NSA
Convention at Penn State, Decem-
ber 19-21, 1947, a Student Govern-
ment Clinic will be established at
Bryn Mawr. The avowed purpose
of the Clinic is to foster the es-
tablishment and aid in the im-
provement of student self-govern-
ment in colleges and universities
in the Pennsylvania region of the
NSA. The Clinic will serve as a
clearing house of information on
the status of student governments
in the region and in the country
as a whole and will institute such
activities as will implement these
purposes.



These activities will probably

Committee Studies |
College Inn Ass’n

A thorough survey of the College
Inn and its problems is now being
made, as a result of campus
“eripes,” exposed in the News of
December 10th. In response to the
request of the Undergraduate
Council, a detailed report of the
organization of the College Inn As-
sociation is being prepared by the
undergraduate representatives on
the Inn Committee: Miraed Peake
and Ellen Sexton.

The Inn Committee, which con-
sists of Miss Howe, Mr. Buckley,
Mrs. Nahm and Helen Burch, to-
gether with Mrs. Evans, the man-
ager, are working on the Inn’s
problems and possible ways to
solve them. Any student questions

World Premiere
Of “Bryn Mawr”
Is 8:15 Tonight

Cornelia Otis Skinner
Supplies Narration ;
Thomas, Heroine

Goodhart, January 14, 1948. This
evening the world premiere of the
Bryn Mawr movie, a documentary
film made at the college last spring
by the Affiliated Film Producers,
will be held. The movie, which was
directed by Helen Grayson, ’'26,
aims to show how the Bryn Mawr
student progresses during her
years at college, gaining certainty
in the academic field through her
courses and in her relation to the
college community through extra-
curricular activities.

Cornelia Otis Skinner, ’20, sup-
plies a narrative background for
the various scenes of Bryn Mawr
so that the film is not just a series
of pictures, but develops a definite
idea. After a brief survey of the
Quaker tradition. of the college,
the movie tells the story ef a
student, played by Mary Lou
Thomas. ’50, who has just arrived
to register for her freshman year
at Bryn Mawr. Built around her
wondering what college will be
like, the film shows the different
aspects of a student’s experience
at college.

First year introductory classes
taught by Dr. Broughton and Dr.
Patterson are depicted as well as
the advanced courses in which the
student takes more responsibility
for her own work. For example,
Posy Johnson ’47, is seen work-
ing in the Chem Lab while Betts
McClure, ’48, takes the lead in a
class in Theory and Practice of
Democracy.” The relation of aca-
demic work to other experiences
is also portrayed by’ Roz Kane
48, and a sociology class working
with children at the Haverford
Community Center.

The film carries the student
through extra-curricular activities
by shotsof chorus rehearsals, of
the News and of the Stage Guild
among others.

Following the movie the Bryn
Mawr Chorus will sing selections
from Benjamin Britten’s A Cere-
mony of Carols. The double octet
will also sing Dark Town Strut-
ter’s Ball, Carcao, and Of Thee I
Sing. Refreshments will be served

Liberal Education, Few Friends
Mark Select Monitor Profession

By Hanna Holborn, ’50

“Is there anything you want?”
It is the beginning of the semester
and the professor stops his lecture
to question the girl who has just
slammed the door and is glancing
‘around the room with a calculat-
ing eye.

She shakes her head mutely,
waves at friends and disappears as
suddenly and silently as -she -ar-
rived, with a bang of the door.
Some weeks later, the professor fi-
nally discovers that the apparition
is a monitor and not just someone
paying a friendly social call on his
students.

Monitors are a select group; the
intricacies of their profession are
known only to themselves. They
possess several advantages in their
job, getting a birds-eye view of
college, and, on the side, picking

naman

up useful, and often startling,
smatterings of culture. Each class
has somethjng new to offer.

“That’s fost I mean by the neu-
rotic reaction of a sheep!”—as the
monitor entered the room. She
didn’t stay to hearsmore. German
1 was next. “No, Miss Smith, it’s
not damn it, it’s damit.” Politics:
“And this is the way they plant
corn in Russia.”

But there are drawbacks, too.
Marking people for cuts and find-
ing later that they are really there,
sound asleep on their desks. There
is the problem of marking a friend
for a cut and still — up the
acquaintance.

And there is the noobie of peo-
ple who are late. One student,
marked repeatedly absent for a
nine o’clock class, grew resentful

Bryn Mawr Takes Lead

The people who consider the N. S. A. a lot of idealistic
“hot air” should take another look at the report of Bryn
Mawvr’s delegates to the Regional Convention at Penn State
- in December.

The representatives from 35 Pennsylvania colleges who
attended this meeting were unanimous in having student
government problems. The autonomy of Bryn Mawr’s un-
dergraduate associations was recognized by many’as a posi-
tive goal toward which to work. The fact that our student
government is independent of faculty supervision and admin-
istrative control appears to be unique in this region.

Accordingly, the regional N. S. A. is setting up on our
campus a Student Government Clinic with concrete aims.
What the delegates do not record in their report is the over-
whelming applause they received when Bryn Mawr offered
to take the leadership in this N. S. A. program. We should’
recognize the honor of having the opportunity to establish
this Clinic, which may well serve as a dynamic influence in
the further development of student responsibility.

We wish our delegates success in carrying out their
plans.

Look Before You Leap

“Of the custom for women to woo during leap year no,
“satisfactory explanation has ever been offered,” the Ency-
clopedia Britannica remarks, clearly in tones of masculine
superiority.

But in 1288 a law was enacted in Scotland that “‘it is
statut and ordaint that... for ilk year knowne as lepe yeare,
ilk mayden layde of bothe highe and lowe estait shall hea lib-
-erte to bespeke ye man she likes.” Some centuries later Al
Capp carried on this myth, investing his heroine Daisy Mae
and hero L’il Abner with almost superhuman power of, re-
spectively, pursuing and being pursued. This is the year for
Daisy Mae’s big push, although it is predestined and fore-
ordained that she will be unsuccessful.

No such fate, however, is predestined and foreordained
for those of us who have kept our third fingers pristine dur-
ing Christmas and the attendant festivities. Only once in
her college career does the Bryn Mawr undergraduate have
a chance like this. Comprehensives. should not wither you;
Little May Day will not hinder you.

NSA Dine:
Plans for Local

Foreign Projects

The highlight of the Regional
NSA Convention held at Penn
State December 19-21 was the
drawing up of a regional consti-
tution on the lines of the national
constitution. In addition the 150
delegates (including Bryn Mawr’s
Betty’ Hamilton, Ann Seideman
and Karen Knaplund) from 46 col-
leges discussed domestic and in-
ternational projects and _ elected

) regional officers.

Bryn Mawr will serve as head-
quarters for the state-wide student
government clinic outlined in the
domestic affairs panel report. Cen-
ter of the Race Relations Clinic
will be Swarthmore. Panel rec-
ommendations included: abolition
of pictures and of questions con-
cerning religious affiliation for sec-
ular colleges on admission blanks,
stimulation of interest in current
events through clubs, courses, and
discussion groups, full cooperation
between SCED and NSA, distrib-

ution of information concerning
voting requirements in Pennsyl-
vania, a program for improved

publicity, integration of Negro in-
structors in the Pennsylvania
School System, and the establish-
ment of a speaker’s bureau.

A proposal concerning the selec-
tion of delegates for the NSA team
to be-sent to Prague this summer
to negotiate affiliation with the In-
ternational Union of Students was
one of the main items in the Inter-
national Affairs Panel Report.
Special project assignments _ in-
cluded: investigation of exchange
systems for academic work abroad
—Temple University; campus relief
drives — Swarthmore; correspond-
ence with foreign students—Rit-
tenhouse; student travel tours—

Hancock Assails
Russian Position

In presenting the problems of
“International Control of Atomic
Energy” at Goodhart, on’ Friday
evening, January 9, John M. Han-
cock, co-author of the Baruch-Han-
cock Reconversion Report and
chairman of the U. S. delegation
to the Atomic Energy Commission,
emphasized the factors hindering
immediate international control of
atomic energy.

Mr. Hancock explained that by
an ordinance unanimously agreed
upon by the U. N., an Atomic
Energy Commission was created to
insure the peaceful uses of atomic
energy and to provide safeguards
against its use for aggression. “De-
termined to have an effective con-
trol plan or none at all,” Mr. Han-
cock continued, “all nations except
Russia insisted upon the right of
the Commission to travel and in-
spect freely the atomic develop-
ments of all nations.’”’ The Rus-
sian refusal to grant these investi-
gational: powers orto -agree—on
any controls was based on a de-
mand that manufacture of atom
bombs in the U. S. cease. “Stop-
page of atomic energy production,”
Mr. Hancock asserted, “would set
back the entire research on atomic
development since the process is
identical for both war and peace
purposes.” According to Mr. Han-
cock it is only our possession of
the bomb that has prevented Rus-
sian aggression in the Dardanelles
and Iranian oil fields.

In conclusion Mr. Hancock point-
ed out that the world is not ready
for world government ‘when it
cannot agree on such an important

‘issue as the control of atomic en-

ergy.

Mr. Hancock’s talk was sponsor-
ed by the League of Women Voters
of Lower Merion Township, in co-
operation. with Haverford and

January 5: “The Taft-Hartley
Act indicates a change-about of the
government in labor policies and
collective bargaining,’ declared
Miss Florence Peterson, at Cur-
rent Events.

Miss Peterson, Professor of So-
cial Economy and Director of the
Graduate Department of Social
Economy and Social Research, out-
lined the major issues of the Taft-
Hartley Act, which was passed six
months ago by Congress over the
President’s veto. Since the date it
went into effect, August 2nd, the
United States has had _ fewer
strikes, but apparently not for this
ceason alone—there have also. been
wage increases.

The closed shop, outlawed by the
Act, has been defied by the Topog-
raphers’ Union of Chicago, aecord-
ing to Miss Peterson. She also
touched on the clause which pro-
vides freedom of speech ‘for em-
ployers on the subject of unions, as
well as on the one which requires
a non-Communist affidavit for un-
ion leaders.

The Taft-Hartley Act will be a
major issue in the 1948 Presiden-
tial campaign, Miss Peterson as-
serted, and will have a vital effect
on the outcome of political events
this year.

Opinion

Miss Agnew Explains
New Restrictions
In Library

To the Editor:

When I first visited Bryn Mawr
I was shown the Reading Room of
the library and told that it was
modelled on the dining hall of
Wadham College, Oxford, and that
the desks were similar to those in
the British Mustum. I was told
also that this reading room of
great dignity, without books, was
favored by the students and alum-
nae and regarded by gthem with
great pride. Knowing this and
knowing also something about oth-
er college libraries, I was not a
little surprised to find on closer
inspection that pin-ups were ddorn-
ing the desks—pin-ups of boy
friends, husbands, madonnas, dance
posters, etc., ete. The modern wave
of personalizing things had evi-
dently swept into the reading room
and good taste and pride in the
room’s appearance had flown out.

Students Protest
Because of this, it was a sur-
prise to read in the College News
of December 17, a letter signed by
six students protesting against
“the new regime’s” restrictions as
they feel pin-ups help them to
plow their “weary way through the
dim paths of learning.”

Aesthetic Point of View
Though I think I am right in
saying that college libraries in gen-
eral—Harvard, Vassar, Columbia,
Smith, Holyoke, Barnard, Haver-
ford, Wellesley, etc., etc., do not



allow students to pin up pictures.

in reading rooms and carrels, it
does not necessarily follow that
Bryn Mawr students should con-
form to the prevailing tendency.
So it is not “for the sake of
regimentation” that the students
had their “harmless pleasures” re-
moved but rather from the aesthet-
ic point of view, as well as the
purely practical one of not disfig-
18° on
loan.”

Librarian.

Events ’

January 12: “China’s ancient
civilization is going bankrupt,” as-
serted Dr. Augusta Wagner, asso-
ciate head of the Shipley School,
and former professor of Econom-
ics at Yenching University, speak-
ing on “Cross Currents in China.”

Dr. Wagner explained that it is
hard for us to formulate a policy
towards China because China is
split within herself. Nearly all
China lives in terrible poverty,
even under the best conditions.
Since the economic situation in
China is so desperate, it is impera-
tive that she maintain peace, but
it -is just because the country is so
badly off that strife keeps break-
ing out.

History of China

Dr. Wagner gave a brief history
of China since 1911, showing that
there has been disunity ever since
Sun Yat-Sen overthrew the old dy-
nasty. The two contending parties,
the Nationalists under Chiang Kai-
Shek, and the Communists formed
a truce from 1937-1944 in order to
join forces in fighting the Japan-
ese. Now they have no common
enemy and are at war with each
other once more.

The Nationalists had a chance of
unifying China in‘1944, stated Dr.
Wagner, but they muffed it by
sending corrupt men to Northern
China, the former Japanese strong-
hold. Chiang Kai-Shek was oblig-
ed to use such drastic measures as
excess taxation and conscription in
order to get the country on its
feet once more, but the result was
only inflation and economic dis- -
tress.

Little Hope

There is now almost no hope of
reconciling the two parties, Dr.
Wagner asserted. Although the
United States did all it could to in-
sure peace, at present we can’t
even relieve the economic_situation
until China presents some sem-
blanee of unity.

Reminder

There will be no Current Events

until the second semester.



BMT in Fiction

Caroline

John O’Hara’s Bryn Mavr girl
who graduated in 1922, probably
the same year as Verona Babbit,
is called Caroline and is as differ-
ent from her classmate as day is
from night. According to O’Hara
she did indulge in the new aura of
Immortality that Babbit feared.
Being young in the “roaring 20’s”
she discarded many of the. old so-
cial institutions along with the
rest of her generation, and the
most important elements of her
world were drinking boot-legged
liquor in the days of prohibition,
swearing and getting to know men
better in parked cars: She-had- been
a prom-trotter, as much as Bryn
Mawr would permit, but became
really “free” after graduation.

At the age of thirty-one, she
feels that she has got something
out of college though she never
can lay her finger on ‘just what it
is. O’Hara describes Caroline as
“the perfect small-town girl at
Bryn Mawr; from private school in
her hometown, to a good prep
school, to Bryn Mawr -and the
Bryn Mawr manner, which means
quick maturity and an everlasting
tendency to enthusiams. . ..Caro-
line still was finding things out—
the capital of South Dakota, the
identity of Mike Pingatore, the lo-
cation of Dalhousie, the handicap
system in polo, the ingredients of
a Side Car ... Caroline was an
educated girl whose education was
behind her and for all time would
be part of her background.”

up a model constitution for stud-

that will provide large enough

Every possible use is being made
of the snow and icy blasts.
14 have signed up for the skiing
trip the week-end after exams.
Some are doubtless planning to
fling themselves off a nearby cliff,
sure of having failed every exam.
The rest are just going for a spill
and a jaunt. The group is bound
for Stowe, Vt., where they hope
to stay at State Lodge.

The indoor sports are now in full
swing. The varsities are priming
for their first encounter with
neighboring teams. The schedules
for the basketball, badminton and
swimming teams all include six
games or meets, three at home and
three away. :

This varied program of winter
sports is improved upon by indi-
viduals who take their sleds and
bump into parked cars. Also, there
seems to be plenty of opportunity
for future Sonia Heinies at the
various neighboring skating clubs.
For some, trudging up to Taylor in
boots not altogether water-proof is
enough braving of the elements for
one winter. To these we say, cheer
up, “If winter comes, can spring
be far behind?”

Philosophy Club on “Culture and
Rationality,” January 7. Man’s so-

stimulus of the culture draws him
out and is a challenge to his uni-

Cultures therefore should be
harmonious and integrated, so that

make it his own and find its satis-

There will be a collector in each

concerning the plan. For additio
al information, see the A. A. bul-

Contributions are completely vol-

What To Do

Summer jobs are already coming
in. If you are considering taking
a job this summer, here are some
things to think about.



“ENCOUNTER”

Arts Night will take place on
Friday night, April 16 and will
have “Encounter” as a central
theme. An invitation to take
part has ben extended to all art
and language groups on campus.
All interested are welcome and
should get in touch with Pat
Hochschild, in Wyndham. Pat
was elected producer for Arts
Night at a meeting of the Arts
Night Committee on Monday
afternoon.









1. Find out definitely whether
or not your family will allow you
to work. This has often proved a
last-minute obstacle to people with
jobs all lined up.

2. Decide whether you want a
paid job or a volunteer job. Many
volunteer jobs such as those of-
fered by the Friends, provide ex-
cellent experience. Camp jobs,
while they. pay very little, provide
good experience in getting along
with people as well as in some spe-
cial fields such as sports, dramat-
ics and arts and crafts.

For Now

mentary school in Bryn Mawr.
