Students Admitted
To Labor Classes

The Hudson Shore Labor School
for factory workers on vacation
during the months «f July and
August is a project of living dem-
ocracy. This “institwion invites
qualified Bryn Mawr undergradu-
ates, who have an intevest in social
problems, to help with the organ-
ization of the project and offers
them, in return, an opportunity to
meet people of all religions and
races with varying educational
backgrounds and to broaden their
own outlook on American ‘social
problems.

This year is the veaittgeHttt an-
niversary of what used to be the
Bryn Mawr School for Factory
Workers on this campus. Two
years ago it was moved up on the
Hudson ‘to a private home in West
Park, ‘New York. Enrolled in the
sehool are factory workers, from
welders to collar-turners, who have
given up their vacations to learn
about social legislation and how to

Organized by the Intercollegiate
Broadcasting Company, this new
network plans to present such fea-
tures as dramatic sketches, comedy
programs, interviews, and quizzes
throughout the college year. Other
nearby college stations are expect-

Merion To Dance

In Dim ‘Lil’s Den’

Past hall dances, with the excep-
tion of Rock’s, evoke memories of
miles and miles of envious hag-line
for background, but Merion’s dance
this Saturday offers a return to the
days of stags galore.

In the murky atmosphere of Lil’s
Den (the smoking room) the punch
and cookies will be served behind
swinging doors while the couples

Smith Discusses
Dialogue Method
Used By Rolland

ae

Goodhart, November 9. Discuss-
ing the opposing qualities in the
work of Romain Rolland, Professor
Horatio Smith declared, “The ideal
of humanity is to associate the
contrarities which appear in the
‘Eternal Dialogue’.”

The dialogue method familiar to
such French writers as Montagne
and Saint-Beuve, becomes for Ro-
main Rolland a dialogue with him-
self in which belief is opposed by
questioning. In this‘ way Rolland
tests through free criticism his own
convictions in an effort to find the
truth.

In his greatest novel Jean Chris-
tophe. Rolland appraises France
from the outside and the inside
through the personalities of the
rough, intransigent German Jean
Christophe and the shy, reflective
French Olivier. These two ‘charac-

Positions Found
For B. M. Grads



In the poll put out by the Under-
graduate Association last week,
appeared the statement that all in-
formation solicited would be plac-
ed on file in the Bureau of Recom-
mendations. The activity of the
Bureau has not been sériously con-
sidered by most undergraduates
until their senior year, when the
question of how to get the most
satisfactory type of job crops up.

The function of the Bureau of
Recommendations is to act as a Co-
ordinator between those seeking
positions and employers. When a
call comes for a position, reference
is made to an active waiting list.
Records of former students are
kept indefinitely and it is the priv-
ilege of any alumna to ask the
Bureau to help her in locating a
position. The Bureau attempts to

Roberto Payro _
Speaks On Spain
At I. R. C. Meeting

Common Room, Nov. 8. “Spain
was not ready to make the transi-
tion from the Middle Ages to mod-
ern times; she is not adjusted to
the mogern industrial world,” de-
clared Roberto Payro, a Haverford
student. discussing Spain’s history,
at the third meeting of the Inter-
national Relations Club with Hav-
erford and Rosemont.

Mr. Payro pointed out that econ-
omic disorganization, religious an-
imosity, and aristocratic. feudalism
headed by the king and backed by
the army have existed in Spain un-
til recently. F

In the 19th century Spain ap-
proached a state of agrarian serf-
dom. In the disillusionment fol-
lowing the empire’s collapse after
the Spanish-American war, peas-
ants played their first active po-
litical role. ‘A strong wave of anti-
clericalism caused by the church’s
absolutist and conservative politic-
al policy swept the country. The
1898 generation revolted against
the traditional oligarchy of econ-
omic interests controlling Spain.
Collectivist planners, advocating a
federation of communal enterprises
run by free workers, was highly
influential.

The’ intellectuals of the day op-
posed industrialism with its capi-
talism and state authoritarianism,
and stressed the workers’ liberty
within a communal framework.

Seven Arts to Combine Talents

In Per

formance for ‘A rts Nights’



By Marcia Dembow ’47

Combining everything but Billy
Rose himself, the Seven Lively
Arts of Bryn Mawr are going to be
assembled as a réalization of one
of Mr. Thon’s inspiring ideas that
“the theater should be more than
just theater.’ The evening of March
ninth will be dedicated to “the mu-
tual relations of the arts in the
spirit of creative endeavor.” The
Otis Skinner Workshop will be the
focus of the collaboration of the
arts and there will be everything
‘but an aquacade.

Arts Night will consist of three

original one act plays, probably a

fantasy, a comedy and a realistic
drama, written by the playwriting



class and dramatized by the Var-

sity Players. Between the theatri-
cal presentations the Modern Dance
Club, the Bryn Mawr Dance Club
and the Madrigal group will have
an opportunity for an_ informal
presentation of their specific tal-
ents. The auditorium of the Work-
shop will be decorated with paint-
ings done by the: female Rem-
brandts and Jon Whitcombs of the
Art Club. Also participating will
be an ensemble or quartet from
the college orchestra. The Stage

Guild will undertake the scenery .

and effects.
Following the seven arts, there

will be chance for the undergrads _

to be lively at Hall Dances that



will probably be held,

International Atomic Control

Prime Minister Atlee’s request for international control
of the atomic bomb is but the latest of a series of similar re-
quests from foreign governments and from private individ-

. uals within the United States, notably Commander Harold

E Stassen. Representing the opposition to this view we find
President Truman asserting the United States’ determination
to keep the process by which the bomb is made an American
secret. |
Officials of the Undergraduate Aissociation, the Alliance,
and the News have recently received copies of petitions for-
mulated by the students of Bennington and Sarah Lawrence,
requesting international control of the bomb and all scientific

experimentation which appertains to it. These petitons are

to be sent to:Presdent Truman and appropriate members of
Cogress; these colleges recommend that Bryn Mawr take
similar action.

The United Nations Organization is just getting under-
way in depressingly difficult circumstances. The fanfare of
San Francisco created an illusory confidence in future suc-
cess while the fundamental disagreements in policy and at-
titude hung ominously on the background, to assume the

rae prominence at London. Though the London

\

ference was disappointing to many, to those who recognize
the pressing need for some realistic scheme of peaceful in-
ternational rélationships, it should provide a challenge for
the future.

One of the greatest difficulties under which the UNC
labors even at this early stage in its career is the obvious
lack of fundamental trust, on the part of its principal spon-
sors, in its ability to perform the work for which it was
formed. This is testified no more clearly than by President
Truman’s demand that the United States reserve to itself the
results of its research on the atomic bomb. As Molotov has
pointed out the secret would not remain a secret for long,
‘while the increase in power and prestige which would accrue
to the UNO by intrusting to it control of the bomb might
provide the impetus to get the organization off to a success-
ful start. $

The illusion of a glorious future for UNO fostered by
San Francisco has been shattered by the procession of sub-
sequent events. Let us not, however, err to the other ex-
treme by indulging in totally materialistic international trad-
ing of advantages under the delusion that we thereby adopt
a realistic attitude. True realism will fall in between these
two extremes, having both a view of the ends to which we
-ascribe and a healthy recognition of the difficulties which
must be faced and, if at all possible, be resolved. Internation-
al control of the atomic bomb may well provide the connect-
ing link between the ideal of international cooperation which

_the UNO now represents and. the practical_problems facing

Diez Labels ‘Refresher’
Course In German
Unsatisfactory

To the Editors:

In response to the letter of thir-
teen students in your issue of
October 17th suggesting a
fresher course o help meet the
standards of fheyGerman Oral”, I
wish to point out that this plan
has ben thoroughly tested and
found unsatisfactory. For fifteen

years the German Department of-
| fered such courses in every con-

ceivable arrangement: on a_ one-
hour basis, and two hours a week
with preparation for classes and
without, without credit, and with
every
member of the department tried
his or her hand at it. The results
were always the same: profuse
cutting, desultory application to
assignments, fifty percent or more
of the-students dropping out in
the course of the year, and finally
poor results in the examination. It
is just not worth an instructor’s
time.

When these students go on to
say: “It is obvious that one year
of perman is not sufficient train-
ing”, we can only. reply: Of
course not! Neither this Faculty
nor the German Department, nor,
for that matter, any other college
faculty in the country have ever
considered one year of a_ foreign
language sufficient. But the Bryn
Mawr idea over the years has been
that after the elementary course
a college student should be able
to continue improving her foreign
languages on her own initiative
and application and without fur-
ther class work and tutelage; and
after seeing twenty classes gradu-
ate from this college with less
than one percent of. failure on ac-
count of the German language re-
quirement, I think this idea is just
about correct.

Lograsso Emphasizes
Value Of Packages
For Europe

To the Editor:

On Wednesday evening the grad-
uate students had invited me to
help them make packages for’ Ital-
ian orphans. ‘Crossing the campus
from the College Inn to Goodhart,
a great gloom enveloped me, for I
had just been listening over the ra-
dio to a list of the principal events
of the day: Mr. ‘Churchill’s eloquent
plea for the storage in Great Brit-
ain of a few atomic bombs to be on
hand just in case... Mr. Molo-
toff’s assurance to the Russian peo-
ple (and to the world) of the im-
minent discovery by Russian scien-
tists, not only of the atomic bomb
but of other similar weapons. (pre-

‘sumably better), as well; Mr. Tru-

man’s firm insistence that we keep
the atomic bomb secret exclusively
to ourselves for a while longer .. .
It was not-strange that.a desolate
despair gripped me as I contem-
plated the new dance of death just
beginning, the tune set by the
three mighty nations of the world.

. Bomb Blues

Not a dance of death, I reflect-:
ed, such as Holbein might have de-
picted, with death beating the
drum individually for king and serf
alike. Not even a ‘death dance
swift: like the one I once saw carv-
ed around a mediaeval cloister in
Rouen. No, this apocalyptic dance
could only be depicted by some ar-
tist who might have the power: to
do with a brush what I’ once heard
Edward R. Murrow do with words
over the radio as he described the
night bombing of Berlin from_one
of -the partici ating planes. No
place there for human personali-
ties; only a bright flash followed
by a long stench.

Food Packing
I arrived at the May Day Room
in Goodhart. It was flooded with

a bright light. From one end to
the other ran long tables for pack-
ing, sealing, tying the parcels.
Neatly on a-desk at one end were
piled the many various tags nec-
essary for mailing. Along one side
were ‘trunks and cases of clothing
and food: Pablum, Dextri-Maltose,
Hemo, dehydrated carrots, et¢., etc.,
etc, On the wall were large post-
ers describing the method to be fol-
lowed in packing and sealing: the
boxes. There was a sample food
box already packed and several
clothing boxes neatly tied and
stacked. The next day, the newly
returned veteran now clerking at
the Post Office told me that the
Br:n Mawr Relief packages were
the best packed he had seen). Some
ond. I thought, has done:a magni-
lice at job of organization. (Later,
1 learned it was Ruth Heinsheimer,
helped by Deirdre Butler).

Current Events





A cooperative program for pri-
vate relief of individuals in Europe
under the leadership of the Cooper-
ative for American Remittanees to
Europe was presented by Mr. Lin-
coln Clark of UNNRA at Current
Events. CARE sponsors a_pro-
gram owher¢by individuals or
groups in America may send food.
to individuals or groups in Europe
without preparing the packages.
themselves.

Mr. Clark stated the immediate
benefits of CAIRE which are that.
under the present system many in-
dependently wrapped parcels a
lar; percentage of which never:
reach their destination will be
eliminated under the direction of
CARE. By virtue of being a priv-
ate group CARE will,provide a
means of contact between people
of the United States and various.
peoples of Europe without. the po-
litical complications of an official
government agency.

CAIRE plans to acquire an army
surplus consisting largely of the-
ten-in-one food packages equipped
to feed ten men in one day. These-
packages contain the equivalent of
40,000 caloriés which at present
ration level of 1500 calories per day
will supply a man with additional
rations for 80 days. By filing an
order blank with a payment of $10
per package any American may re-
quest the delivery of an equivalent
number of packages to specified
groups in Europe.

CARE will contact cooperative:
groups in Europe and through
these cooperative federations a
non-governmental means of dis-
tribution will be provided. CARE
will be able to check on this dis-
tribution through liaison officials.
and through a system of correlated
accounts.



I worked I thought of little bodies.
receiving a bit of strength from
this food or warmed by the cloth-
ing. A few children’s lives-spared,
perhaps, in France, in Holland, in
Italy,. because some students at
Bryn Mawr College had had hearts
in the right place and the intelli-
gence to translate their sentiments
into effective, concrete action.
There flashed to my mind, too, the
collection of newspaper photo-
graphs I have of Gis feeding des-
titute children all over the world.

The future of America, I thought;
is in generous hands. American
youth has the intelligence to find
the solution for the atom bomb,
even though the heads of our lead-
ers seem a bit befuddled. Somehow,
I was not quite so gloomy as I had
been. :

I should counsel any one (faculty
included) who is threatened by an
attack of atomic bomb blues to be-
take himself (both genders) to the
European Relief Room in Goodhart
Hall and to pack for an hour or
two.

education has a st at in the
unification of a society split into
its components by the modern evil
of specialism. Proceeding to anal-
yse the roots of the conflict, the
Report digresses into a.philosophi-
cal discussion in which the links
with society as it is become more
and more obscured by a veil of ab-
straction.

Nebulous

Judged’ as a whole, thexbook is
lacking in structural unity.




< iy
progression from-the—in
analysis to the recommendations
which follow is rather nebulous;
while an inductive relationship be-
tween the proposals and the analy-
sis is virtually non-existent. Suf-
fice it to say about the recommen-
dations that they are little more
radical than a erdistribution and
an extension of required studies
over free electives.

Unites, Conflict

Analytically, The Report finds
presnt in our modern civilization
two contradictory trends described
as scientific “pragmatism” and
western idealism. Nevertheless
Harvard’s educators optimistically
find a basic unity in these two
forces by asserting that “pragma-
tism” is one of the methods by
which the power of static tradition,
opposed to idealism, is combatted.

Illogical

The Report suffers from a logi-
cal wooliness in the development
of its analysis which belies the
erudite claim to gospel its philo-
sophical tone seems to make, The
book does deserve credit for press-
ing the’ general role of education
by extending its study to the edu-
cational needs and purposes of the
high school. Nevertheless, the to-
tal effect remains that of a moun-
tain laboring to bring forth a
mouse,

IT’S SIMPLY A MATTER OF TIME

The pendulum of production i is swinging again for the
Bell System, as Western Electric, our manufacturing
division, reconverts for the all-out manufacture of the
thousand-and-one things we need to give you the Bell
System’s true standards of service once more.

During 1946, for instance, it is planned to add 2,100,000
miles of Long Distance telephone circuits to the System.
That’s more than there were in Great Britain and
France combined, before the war, and it means that the

f ° °
pressure on our lines will ease up.

v

Today, of course, the thousands of calls of returning
veterafis are actually giving us more rush-time peaks
than we had last year. So it’s more important than ever
to limit your call to five minutes when the operator must
ask you to do so. A service man’s call to his home may

be waiting:

Offered To Maids

Subjects offered this year in the
student-taught classes for Maids
and Porters range from typing to
experimental acting with an hour’s
- time per week devoted to-each. Ap-
proximately thirty prospective stu-
dents have enrolled.

The principal objective of these
classes is to provide opportunity
for studies in all subjects which
the Maids and Porters request. No
minimum number of students for
each class is required.

A new innovation in the curric-
ulum this year is experimental act-
ing, which will be supervised by
Susan Feldman ’49. This coincides
with the present attempt to stim-
ulate latent creative ability on
campus. ;

The largest enrollment is for
typing, which will be taught by
_ Leslie Weel ’49. Other favorites
are piano and Bible, conducted by
Amoret Bissel ’48 and Catherine
Clark ’47 respectively.

The English department is rep-
resented by courses in grammar,
given by Marianne Graetzer ’48,
composition, given by Rosina Bate-
son ’47, and American literature,
given by Mary Cross ’47 and Rose
Johnson ’47. There will”be two
language courses, one in Spanish,
which Mickey Maralet 46 will
teach, and one in French, for which
there is as yet no teacher.

Rolland’s own greatness lay in
his soul, said Professor Smith. A
man who lived’ up to his written
word, Rolland might have. taken
for his motto a saying which he
changed to read, “To strike, to
seek, not to find, and not to yield.”
It is significant, he observed, that
Rolland’s characters were all men
of heroic urges, and his last work
was a biography of Peguy, who
like himself “was a fighter who
died fighting.”
