Relief Packages
Sent to France
Reach Destination



Packages sent by Bryn Mawr’s
Relief for Europe, to France have
arrived safely at their destination
according to the following letter
from the head of the Maison Fra-
ternelle at Paris.

“Chere mademoiselle,

Les paquets arrivent rapidment
et font la joie de tous ceux aux-
quels ils sont destines. Je garde
ceux qui contiennent des vetements
et les distribue moi-meme d’apres
la taille et la grandeur des -per-
sonnes.

Grace a vous, nous feterons re
belles fetes de Noel.

Pour vous tous, Noel beni et
‘belle et heureuse nouvelle annee,
toute illuminee de l’amour de notre
Pere celeste. Merci a tous ceux qui
aident a soulager nos famillies cet

hiver.
Votre Soeur Dora’”’.

As yet there has not been time
for an answer from either Italy or
Holland.

Although participation in pack-
ing food and clothing has been
good, more help is still needed and
Alliance representatives in »eaeh
hall are now recruiting. additional
packers, Relief for Europe is also
going to begin sending articles
such as hot water bottles in these
packages. A Box will be placed in
Taylor for smaller items like pen-
cils, pens, shoelaces,
blades.

An article in the December
Alumnae Bulletin about the Re-
lief for Europe project has brought
contributions amounting to $120

‘and numerous articles of clothing.

In addition, the Faculty Defense
Group has voted a donation of $75.

Packing will be suspended at the |

beginning of the examination per-
iod, but will be resumed the first
Monday of the second semester.

‘Mexico’s Glamour

Delights Students

This year two Bryn Mawr stu-
dents, Nanette Emery and Rosalie
Scott, have joined the Smith Col-
lege group spending their Junior
year: in Mexico. From all reports



\it seems to be a great success, as

they have decided that. “south of
the border” is definitely the place

-| to live.

After spending their first month
in Morelia, they moved into an old
mansion in Mexico City, which has

jall the glamour of a palace, with

patios, fountains, and palm trees,
plus eleven baths for the eighteen
girls. But luxury is not the only
pleasant side to life. Apparently
there is much to be said for the
Mexican “senores,” of which there
seems to be no shortage, while
they have met such people as
Robert Stackpole and numerous
Latin movie stars and producers.
On the serious side, they are
both taking private courses with
professors from the University of
Mexico and regular courses, includ-
ing Spanish literature and poetry,
Mexican history and phonetics.

Miss Fairchild —
To Leave B. M.
For I. L..O\ Post

Miss Mildred Fairchild will leave
the Sociology Department of Bryn
Mawr on February 14th to serve
with the International Labor Or-
ganization in Montreal. No one
has yet been named to replace Miss
who is also director of
the Graduate Department of So-
cial Economy and Social ‘Research
here.



Miss Fairchild will spend a few
months in preparation for her new
position, after which she will fol-
low the United Nations Organiza-
tion wherever it may decide to put
up its headquarters. She will head
the secretariat controlling condi-
.tions under which women and
children may be employed.

Her office, which is one of the
several chapters of the UNO, gov-
erning food, drugs, and other. mat-
ters of international importance,
will try to regulate the kinds of
jobs, the number of hours, and con-
ditions of health, so that women
and children can work § safely
throughout the world.

This Labor Organization, which
Miss Fairchild is to head, is the
same one started by the League of
Nations after World War I. It has

kept operating in Geneva, but now
has been incorporated into the
UNO.

Of Magazine in Open Meeting





Conference Held

To Discuss Plans

For U. N. 0. Study):



Representatives from Bryn Mawr
attended a
sponsored by the American Asso-
ciation for the United Nations,

Inc., to discuss plans by which the
United Nations might become a
living reality to college students
for work in the colleges regarding
the United Nations. Students from
eight other colleges attended:
American, Barnard, Columbia, Cor-
nell, New Jersey College for Wom-
en, Rutgers, Smith, and Swarth-
more.

It was decided that the Associa-
tion could offer to college students
three important services: a column
for college publications on United
Nations news, the facilities of the
speakers bureau, and literature on
the -UnitedNations._A-column_ giv-
ing a factual summary of up-to-
date UNO developments will ap-
pear in the College News each
month, Uy

At the conference it was agreed
that such groups as the Interna-
tional Relations Club at Bryn
Mawr should become informed
spearheads of activity becoming
leaders of opinion on campus and
in the community.

The Carnegie Endowment has¥
already worked out plans for
twelve regional meetings of the
International Relations Clubs
throughout the country. Thirty-
six Middle Atlantic colleges are to
participate in a three-day model
United Nations meeting at Lafay-
ette College in March with each
college representing. one of the
United Nations.

Similar model meetings of UNO
can be organized as a special cam-
pus activity or as an inter-college
forum. Plans are being considered
for a Summer Institute preferably
at or near the site of UNO where
students may ‘study the actual
functioning of UNO, attend meet-
ings and see and hear internation-

student conference,



al personalities as they shape UNO
policy.

Limited Representation
Of ‘Title’ Criticized
By Students

Common Room, January 14. “The
purpose of The Title is to publish
the best quality of writing, both
critical and ereative, on the cam-
pus,” stated the-editor, Patsy von
Kienbusch '47, at an open meeting
held in responsé to current criti-
cism, that The Title is not a rep-
resentative college magazine. -

In this meeting the editors tried
to show that some of the criticism
was unfounded, and that they felt
that the majority of the rest did
not pertain to The Title in view of
its stated purpose. The Title board
however will act on certain sugges:
tions raised at the meeting.

As Chairman of the Undergrad-
uate Council, Patricia Behrens °46
reported the various student crit-
icisms which had caused the editors
to call this meeting. Many people
have felt that The Title is too re-
stricted in its scope and only rep-
resents “the work of a clique.”
Others have objected to the maga-
zine as being “too highbrow.”

In answer to this last the editors
explained that “the aim’ of The

Title is to publish “good writing.”

They emphasized that the m
zine has literary, but not caotale A
standards. They stated that they
welcome contributions on any sub-
ject from anyone on campus. . In.
reply to the criticism that The
Title contains no humor, the editors
pointed out that they had made w
specific appeal for such material.

Accused of having limiting stan-
dards, the editors described their
method of selecting material. A
contribution is judged on the basis
of the excellence of the writing.

The fundamental problem of
whether The Title should continue
to maintain its high standards or
cater to the less serious demands
of the campus reading public: was
also raised. —

In answer to the question that
they strive for a more universal
appeal, Miss Stapleton, faculty ad-
visor of The Title, stated that the
function of a good literary maga-
zine is to represent “only the best,”
and not to concentrate on repre-

The-only way to tell your family

Turning Point

The infancy of The Title is over. It is high time for this
two-year-old magazine to grow up, to pull itself to its feet
and take a few steps.. It has reached the turning-point of its
career. The future of The Title will, we feel, be clearly deter-
mined in this. period between the meeting Monday night, and
th appearance of the March issue.

When a college magazine does not succeed in being of

« interest to a large percentage of the undergraduates, the
statement is always made that the contents and policies are
effected by the too-small group of students who make up the
Board.

Unfortunately, the policy of The Title remained unde-
fined for so long that many of its original aims became ob-
secured. When, two years ago, a small group of students
started the new magazine, the first issue was of necessity the
work of a small, tightly-knit organization who planned, exe-

cuted and completed it. It was the wish of these students to
begin the next year with the idea that anyone who was in-
tetrested could and should share i in some way in the develop-
ment of the baby magazine. 3

The original editors lacked experience, particularly the
experience of working with and for a large group of people
with varied tastes and ideas. Because of a lack of good pub-
licity, resulting in a mysterious haze around its inner work-
ings, it seemed as if The Title board was, if unconsciously,
setting itself up as the judgment seat before which only eru-'
dite theses, and products of the hard gem-like flame of gen-
ius would or could be considered.

This misconception seems to have grown into an unfor-
tunate reality. In spite of the efforts made along this line by
the editors, the fact remains that such an idea does exist in
the minds of all undergraduates and this is as fatal as thé re-
ality itself. Regardless of whether the Board considered
Monday night’s suggestions of concrete value, they must

- wake up to the fact that the campus: sist is not satisfied with
the magazine as it now stands.

If The Title continues to ignore popular opinion, a new
" magazine must inevitably result. .It may be that there is
room.for two magazines on campus: a “literary” and a “
resentative” magazine have not the same aims. But they
need not be mutually exclusive aims. Theoretically it is
fectly possible forThe Title to meet both demands. If the

edin this respect the value of nes meeting will not have
lost in the shuffle of controversy.



Current Events



“We have to meet the Russians
‘on their ‘own ground, but most im-
portant we have to realize what
our own commitments and responsi-
bilities are,” said Mrs. Manning in
a discussion. of. Russia andthe
United States.

Russian international policy, in
Mrs. Manning’s opinion, is a re-
expression of Russia’s historic
aims particularly in respect to an
outlet in the Baltic and Black seas.
Mrs. Manning cited the view that
Russia is still pressing the aims
of international communism, but
believes that the pursuit of non-
ideological gains takes precedence
in present Russian policy.

Contrasting with the American,
Russian leaders are enabled to pur-
sue the policy established relative-
ly uninfluenced by popular opinion
which supports but does not con-
trol the government. The Russians
are in no position and have no de-

but are using the fluid state of af-
fairs as an opportunity to press for
and frequently obtain their aims by
a clever strategy of bargaining.
The United States, on the other
hand, presents the opposite picture.
The government is very much con-

‘| trolled by popular opinion which,

at the same time, has failed to
show the government its willing-
ness to support a constructive pro-
gram of international action. The
United States, Mrs. Manning point-
ed out, is the only nation in a posi-
tion to bargain effectively with
Russia and put a check on her most
nationalistic desires, yet we have

| denied the responsibilities both po-

litical and military which that po-
sition entails.

Donations Asked
In Clothing Drive

Bryn (Mawr .College students
have been asked to aid the victims
of World War II by supporting the
Victory Clothing Collection for
overseas relief, a drive which runs
till the end of this month.

The Alliance, with the approval | *
of the Undergraduate Council has
decided that the most sensible way
for Bryn Mawr to contribute is
through the college Relief for Eu-
rope organization. It is hoped that
increased incentive of the current
nation-wide drive will increase
clothing donations for campus
overseas boxes.

The. national goal is one hun-
dred million serviceable, used gar-
ments in addition to shoes and bed-
ding. The urgency of the need for

fact that although the-drive last

she added.

Membership on the hoadil of The
Title is open to anyone with the
necessary qualifications, “prefer-
ence being given to people who
have shown a sustained interest in
writing for the magazine,” ex-
plained the editor. Tryouts will be
held in the spring and the fall.

The editors admitted that the
mechanism for stimulating interest
in the magazine has not been ade-
quate. Several constructive sug-
gestions were offered, among them

"Opinion

‘ Angry Students Decry
Intellectual Snobbery
_At ‘Title’ Meeting.

To the Editor:

We went to the meeting called
for those interested in the future
of the Title. A spirit of intellec-
tual snobbery and intolerance pre-
vailed which shocked and angered
those who attended with no pur-.
pose other than to advance con-
structive suggestions.

We thought that the T:tle edit-
ors honestly wanted opinion. They
merely advanced a defense of their
activities and policies. We went in
a friendly mood genuinely inter-

‘ested in the welfare of the maga-

zine, because we felt that Bryn
Mawr should have a good maga-
zine, and also. that a good maga-
zine can be representative.

We consider ourselves represen-
tative undergraduates, but our
tastes do not run to the stream of
stylized subconsciousness always
filled with strong bits of other au- °
thors. We too like literature and
good literature, even if our criteria

.do not conform to those of the

Board of the Title.

‘Since we think that as college
students we are reasonably intelli-
gent, we believe that anything rep-
resentative is not necessarily non-
literary or banal. The two points
of view are not incompatible.

We would like to have a maga-
zine on campus to which everyone
would feel free to contribute, re-
gardless-of-her style—a magazine
whieh within a systematic frame-
work would maintain a high stan-
dard in all fieds.

We like our Joyce and Eliot in
the original, not tainted by the
pseudo-intelligentsia. We also be-
lieve that we can be proud of what
undergraduates can produce. It is
not necessary to varnish the’ pro-
duct with a deliberately obscure
style which often fails to congeal
the lack of contents.

Is a new magazine necessary ?

Library Seeking
Brakely’s Letters

Dr. Elizabeth Brakely, Bryn
Mawr ’16, has been in Europe with
the U.N.R.R.A., and in order to
show what experiences such a pod-
sition might entail, the Public Li-
brary of Montclair, N. J., has un-
dertaken to compile a collection of
excerpts from letters written by
. Dr. Blakely.

Selected portions of the letters
will, acording to present plans, be
typed in triplicate, one going to the
Montclair Library, as part of its
collection of archives on local hjs-
tory, a second set going to the Bryn
Mawr College Library, and the
third to be given to Dr. Brakely
herself.

A plea has been sent to anyone
who” has been in correspondence
with Dr. Brakely, by.the: Montclair
Library, to send in the original let-
ters, or copies or photostats, say-
ing whether such. material shoula
be returned.

Vassar Planning
Far East Forum



An inter-collegiate conference on
the problems in the Far East is be-
ing planned by the Vassar Politi-
cal Association for the week-end
of Feb. 8 and 9. Bryn Mawr has
been asked to participate and the
Alliance has posted a list on the
Taylor bulletin board where any-
one interested in attending the con-
ferece is asked to sign. Delegates
will be chosen from the list by the
Alliance board at its meeting next
Monday.

“The Far East, Playground of
Power Politics,” is the subject of
the conference which will open
Friday night with a speech on
U. S. aims in the Far East. The
remaining time will be taken up
with discussion on such subjects as
the function of UNO in the solution
of Far Eastern problems.

The delegates chosen will be
asked to do some reading before
they go so that they will have some
background of information for the
discussion. For this purpose Vas-
sar will send a bibliography as
soon as its plans are completed.

lecting necessary statistics.

students have helped
distribute the comics pamphlets.
Writing in the “United Nations
Councilor,” Justice Owen J. Rob-
erts urges the regulation of the

world’s’ armaments by an_ inter-

national organization, preferably a
world government receiving some
delegation of national sovereignty

on which to base its powers. He!
emphasized the necessity which the
atomic bomb and other destructive
inventions impose on the nations of
the world to find some answer to
the armaments issue.

\Also on the record is an, organi-
zation of veterans called the Speak-
ers Panel, which includes among its
officers Mrs. James A. Sutton, as-
sistant in Public Relations at Bryn
Mawr, as vice-chairman. The Panel
plans to organize small groups
which will conduct panel discus-
sions for schools, clubs and local
councils after a period of concen-
trated study of the problem at
hand.

The “Councilor” also offers a
plea for better reporting of legis-
lative news to permit American
professors of self-government to
become a working reality. Con-
trasting the Germans’ lack of in-
terest in democratic methods with
violent American assertions of pub-
lic over government actions, the
article demands that we prove our
statements by showing our public
interest.

As part of official Council policy,
the “Councilor” presents a demand



for trusteeship rule, under the
UNO, of Japanese mandates in the
Pacific captured by the Allies.

Three suggestions as to the proced-
ure of disposing of these islands
were offered by the Committee to
Study the Organization of the
Peace: United States’
on trusteeship terms, transfer di-
rectly to UNO trusteeship, or for-
mation of a regional organization
such as the Anglo-American Car-
ribean Commission.

Action is urged through the ne-
cessity .of proving American | re-
jection ‘of the “grab policy” prac-
ticed by Russia and which has re-
ceived so much criticism in the
United States. The Council feels
it is up to Americans to prove they
mean what they say when they ask
for a new international viewpoint. |

Stearns Clarifies
Meaning of Time



“The nature of time cannet be
understood apart from its motion,”
said Dr. Stearns in her paper on
“Time” at the Philosophy Club tea
on January*11, in the Common
After the reading of the
paper, members 6f the club dis-

Room.

cussed the paper and the ideas pre-
sented in it.

Miss Stearns spoke of the double
nature of the past, present, and fu-
ture series. Ir.a narrow sense, she
said, “time” Yefers to the passage
of time, which cannot explain itself
unless related to the past, present,
future series.

The present never fails; rather
a new present is substituted for
the old. No future is ever a new

future, as the question of it is old.
The present appears to be contin-
uous and successive at once. It is
continually being actualized. The
present is a sense of motion to be
found in each individual; it moves
through them; it both ends and en-
dures. The present is neither time-
less nor is it a period of duration;
it is the gradfal transition from
future to past.

The past has a double nature. It
is not absolute. It is imminent in
the present and can be a source of
something; it is at once both dead
and alive. The past is timeless;
the temporal connects with it... The
timeless quality of the past is seen
in the present, illustrated by such
an example as Proust’s “Remem-
brance of Things Past,” in whicli
the past is again re-lived.
