On Food Crisis

Bryn Mawr, Haverford,
Swarthmore Plan
Campaign

Bryn Mawr, Haverford and
Swarthmore have formed an_ in-
tercollegiate committee for con-
tacting other colleges to initiate
food conservation programs and to
urge national measures in the food
crisis.

The group is recommending that

__a national food coordinator be ap-

pointed to handle contacts between
the different agencies responsible
for procurement and distribution
of food, and that supplies be chan-
neled directly to relief organiza-
tions, without passing through the
civilian market. Several members
of the committee expect to see high
government officials in Washing-
ton next week.

A telegram is being sent by the
committee to the chairmen of the
appropriate organizations in other
colleges both on the Eastern Coast

Model Congress
Teaches Politics

To B. dents

A model congress held in Har-
risburg during spring vacation
gave students of Pennsylvania
collegés “a chance to really con-
duct a congress, and to see how
the problems arise and are met
by. congressmen,’ reported Joan
Vitkin, ‘one of ten Bryn Mawr
students who attended the confer-
ence. For the first time since the
war, the Intercollegiate Confer-
ence on Government. renewed its
annual meetings, each of a differ-
ent type, to acquaint students with
the workings of government and
legislature.

The session, to which all inter:
ested students of the Pennsylvania
colleges were invited, lasted from
the 28th to the 31st of March at
the headquarters, in the Penn
Harris Hotel, and was patterned
exactly after the national Con-
gress, with elections for Speaker,
lobbying, and voting upon the bills
introduced by the delegates of each
college. On.one day, committee
meetings were held, and the bills
presented andu.djscussed on the
floor. The following day, congress
went into plenary session, and the
bills were passed or rejected. Par-
ties and political activities filled
the evenings, and the conclusion of
the session was celebrated by a
dance on Saturday night.

In the most dramatic episode of
the session, the congress passed
by a very slight margin a closely
contested bill -initiated by Shirley
Wood and Betsy Fenstermacher of
Bryn Mawr which proposed that
the atomic bomb be turned over to
an_ international committee on
atomic control. Among the other
bills passed was the Annual Wage
Bill, proposed by another Bryn
Mawr delegate.

The Bryn Mawr “congressmen”
returned with enthusiastic reports
of the congress’s success in attain-
ing the aims of the conference,
and’ calling attention to the fact
that. the delegation is unlimited,
they urge a larger delegation for
next year.



Diverse Activities Consume Time

Of B. M. Residents Over Holiday

by Judy Marcus, ’49

The road to the bridge table is
paved with good intentions, ac-
cording to many of the staunch
souls who remained at Bryn Mawr
during the Spring vacation to
catch up on their work. The girl
who wasn’t a bridge enthusiast
had to resign herself to social ob-
scurity, unless she chose to take
part in one of the chess games
that continually went on in Rock
during the twelve, day holiday.

Bridge and chess were just two
of the many activities that occu-
pied the time of the girls who
spent their vacations at college.
‘One psychology major reports that
she had a pleasant time analyzing
the personality of the girl who
lived in the room she was occupy-
ing. Others found pastimes of a
less scholastic nature. A girl who
remained at college to write a
paper said, “We started out with
firm resolutions . . . and then we
went to the movies.” One .of the
chief complaints of the temporary
Rock residents ‘was that the pic-
tures on the Main Line don’t
change often enough.

The first few days of the vaca-



tion the girls spent hours wander-
ing through the corridors looking
for people they knew, and every
vaguely familiar individual was
greeted as a bosom buddy. Getting
accustomed to the new surround-
ings also took quite a while. One
girl vows she will be eternally
grateful to the owner of the room

in which she stayed for leaving

messages like “The stocking

‘stretchers are sizenine,” and “The

alarm clock works pretty well if
you wind it regularly,” scattered in
appropriate places about the room.

Some of the most amusing in-
cidents of the vacation occurred
when the girls staying in Rock ran
afoul of that hall’s rather unique
plumbing system. After starting
to fill a tub for a bath, one’ of
the inexperienced lasses wandered
off to speak to a friend for a mo-
ment. Upon her return she could
not remember in which of, the

many bathaaane— ~ha had left the
water running. After a frantic
search, she only managed to lo-
cate it just in time to avert the
incipient flood.

Effective Direction
Fine Feeling
by Helen Anderton °49

Goodhart Hall, April 13. A most
interesting and enjoyable concert
was presented here tonight by the
members of the Bryn Mawr Chor-
us and the Yale Glee Club. If in
past years, there has ever existed
any doubt as to the merits of Bryn
Mawr’s singing, those doubts must
have been dispelled tonight, for
Bryn Mawr proved well able to
hold its own beside one of the
country’s leading singing groups.

The concert opened with Two
Palms by Schutz, which revealed
the fine intonation and excellent
diction displayed by the two groups
singing together.

The Yale Glee Club then Seng,

Not really undaunted by their

room, hoping for a response from
Yale. Evidently Yale teaches them

New Food Action

In tthe face of the present food crisis in Europe and the
consequent necessity for conservation of food in the United
States, a coordinated group such as a college-can play an im-

portant part in bringing about action in meeting the need.

Moreover, there is an opportunity for an organized movement
in such a crisis both by practical measures and by campaign-

me: for national cooperation.

Practical Measures

The adoption of the thirty-nine point conservation pro-
gram by each college is an immediate way to cut down on
food consumption. In addition the preparing and sending of
packages is a practical method of getting more food to Europe

now. sf

Since a college is an important factor in its community,
by showing its recognition of the emergency and by doing
its utmost to curtail food consumption, it can be a leader in
By publicly campaigning for food con-
servation and by explaining the methods by which it can be
accomplished, the college can be effective in creating a com-

community action.

munity response to this great need.
Rationing Needed

Beside such action, which is of too small a volume to give
general relief in the European food crisis ,organized inter-
collegiate conimittees can be of influence to urge definite
measures on a nationwide scale. Secretary Anderson has ad-
mitted that voluntary measures to conserve food in this
country have failed completely in increasing food shipments.
to Europe.. Moreover, former Governor Lehman has estim-
ated that the famine crisis will last well into the year 1947.
Consequently it is evident that food rationing in the United
States, even if it may take four months to get underway, is
an undeniable necessity. One immediate advantage would
be the release of British wheat stocks to be sent to Europe

in the assurance of replacement from the United States.
Wheat Allocations

Not only must rationing be urged, but also stringent
measures with regard to the allocation of wheat. Govern-
t action should be taken to set aside at least 25%. of

~ wheat processors’ stocks for U.N.R.R.A. Moreover, it should
be seen to that this wheat reaches and is used by U.N.R.R.A.

‘The Committee formed by Bryn Mawr, Haverford and

Swarthmore to work on bi
sures js to be ‘highly

ing about such em
ed. The action of this Com-



mittee i in inviting other colleges to join and in contacting of-
ficials in: Washington, should be an important contribution

Michels Explains
War Innovations

In Use of Mines

Goodhart, April 10. The inno-
vations in mine warfare made dur-
ing ‘World ‘War II are an “excel-
lent example of the effect of tech-
nological advances on war mater-
ials,’ asserted Mr. Walter C.
Michels, professor of physics at
Bryn Mawr and recently a com-
mander in the Navy, where he
served as head of the Navy Mine
Warfare Operational Research
Group.

-The essential characteristic of
the sea mine is that it is placed in
position at a time when the ship
which it is supposed to blow up is
far removed. The modern galvanic
mine, invented primarily to com-
bat the submarines in the last war,
is set off by an electric battery re-
action in which the approaching
ship forms one of the essential
electrodes. However, since this
mine requires a contact to set it
off, it can be made useless by
sweeping, with comparatively lit-
tle difficulty.

In the fall of 1939 the British in-
curred enormous shipping losses
due to the action of German mag-
netic mines, whose explosion de-
pended on the magnetic field about
the ship, which in turn is condi-
tioned by the place in which the
ship is built-and is unavoidable.

‘A partial answer to this prob-
lem rwas degaussingy artificially an-
nihilating or reducing the natural
magnetic field of a ship by creat-
ing a counter-field with an electric
current. Special sweeping gear
which towed targets through ‘the
water to simulate magnetic fields
were also constructed. *

\As shown by the counter-weap-
ons, a really satisfactory mine
must depend on the intrinsic prop-
erties of a ship so that sweeping
In the spring
of 1945 there was ready a mine
which was fired by the change in
pressure due to “the increase in
velocity of the water flowing under
the hull of the ship.

Exact results of the effectiveness
of mine warfare cannot be reveal-
ed at present, but a Japanese ad-
miral’s statement to Mr. Michels,
“Your mines have given me many
headaches,” seems ‘indicative. Less
than one American life was lost
per Japanese vessel sunk bby mines
during the war.

Collegiate Forum
Held by “Mlle.”

Joan Hitchcock 7°48 and Eva

‘| Krafft ‘47, a member of the Mad-

emoiselle College Board, attended
the College Forum on World Gov-
ernment held last Saturday at the
Hotel Commodore in New York
under the sponsorship of Made-
moiselle. Twenty-five women’s
colleges were represented, and sev-
en ‘student speakers discussed the
subject, “The Student Acts”, de-
scribing campus political activity
and interest in World Government.

Speakers were Dr. Harlow Shap-
ley, of Harvard, who alsd’ presided
over the forum. Morning speakers
were Bruce Bliven, editor of the
New Republic, and Robert Mac-
Iver, of the sociology department
of Columbia University. At lunch-
eon, Joseph Barnes, foreign editor
of the New York Herald Tribune,
spoke and was followed by Ralph
Barton Perry, of the Harvard phil-
osophy ‘department, who pointed
out ‘the reasons for supporting U.
N. now, instead of agitating for
world government. fmmediately af-
ter, Cord Meyer Jr. spoke for im-

=rmediate-world government. In the

question period that followed the
talks, it was apparent that the ma-
jority of the student representa-
tives present supported the case



for immediate world government.

support of other colleges in the
committee’s proposals for increas-
ed food allocations with the adopt-
ion of rationing if necessary. It
will be followed up by a letter rec-
ommending adaptations of. Bryn

giving more details on the national
campaign.

These steps were planned at a
meeting in Wyndham, Tuesday, of
the Relief for Europe Committee,
with representatives from Haver-

erford pointed out that measures
of conserving food have been intro-
duced in the Haverford dining
rooms to good ‘effect, while stu-
dents are campaigning in the Phil-
adelphia area for community-wide
conservation. ’

The group is contacting the Ci-

initiated the petition adopted by
the Vassar faculty, asking strong
government: measures be taken to
secure larger food allocations. It
is hoped that cooperation can be
established with food programs al-

Dance Features

Gay Park Scene

by Barbara Bettman ’49

The gym Saturday night became
a park scene complete with wish-
ing well, striped carousel, and glit-
tering silver stars, but further
equipped with the Yale Whiffen-
poofs.

In spite of spring inside the
gym, it was cool outside, and cos-
tume for the dance was rather mot-
ley, varying from winter ball
dresses to light cotton gowns. Ob-
viously two theories were in prac-
tice: the I-am-cold and the Never-
theless-it-is-April theories. A post-
war note was sounded by the gen-
eral absence of uniforms, while
their occasional appearance signi-
fied the pattern of the past few



years.

The Debonairs provided music |

and also tavo singers, with soulful

ballads prominent for the most
part.~ However, rhumbas and Vi-
ennese waltzes also figured and
the floor was a wild riot of jitter-
bugs for several numbers.

The Whiffenpoofs sang during in-
termission, finishing, they thought,
with the famed and lovely Whif-
fenpoof song, but were called back
for countless encores.

EVERY DAY many Long Dis-
tance lines are like crowded
highways. We are building new
circuits, putting in new switch-

training new oper-

ators. But until they are ready
we ask your patience and
forbearance while we try to
serve everybody who wants to
make Long Distance calls.

When you use Long Distance

for necessary calls, it

helps keep the lines clear.
And when you keep your calls
brief it cuts down the delay
on other necessary calls.

For a while longer—until we
can get new lines and switch-
boards into service—we hope
you will help by making only
necessary Long Distance calls.

Delegates Form

Model U.N. Conf.

The Intercollegiate United Na-
tions Conference, formerly the
Model League which met two years
ago at Bryn Mawr, held a meet-
ing this year at Lafayette College,
Easton, Pennsylyania, March. 28,
29, and 30.

The Conference, the purpose of
which was to acquaint the stu-
dents with the organization, func-
tions, and difficulties of the U.N.O.,
followed the form of a model Uni-
ted Nations meeting with each of
the thirty six Mid-Atlantic colleges
sending four delegates to represent
one of the United Nations. This
year Pat’ Acheson, Cecilia Rosen-
blum, Carol McGovern, and Janine
Daudon represented France for
Bryn Mawr.

The work of the Conference was
divided into four Commissions,
legal, economic,political, and so-
cial. The Legal commission was
concerned with the clarification
and interpretation of certain im-
portant articles in the United Na-
tions Charter; the Economic Com-
mission, with such subjects as cap-
ital movements: and investments,
monetary. stabilization, trade, and
commodity arrangements. The
work of the Political Commission
included prevention of renewed
Axis aggression, armaments, .and
minorities, while the Social Com-
mission considered refugees,
hhealth,.nutrition, control of nar-
cotic drugs, and education. Each
Commission discussed its various
topics and reported to the final
plenary session: where each report
was put to a formal vote.

The next offering, sung by the
combined groups, was Two Chor-
uses from King David by the con-
temporary composer, Honegger.

The Dance Before The Arc
begins mysteriously, and swells to
a mighty climax. The music is dif-
ficult, and both groups gave it
everything they had. Occas-
ionally the attacks weren’t good,
but this is doubtless due to the
short time the groups had to re-
hearse together. The Death of Dav-
id provided a somewhat calmer ef-
fect from the hectic Dance. The
solos, by Benjy Beckwith and Kate
Marshall, were well done, and had
much feeling.

The second part of the program
was in a lighter vein. The semi-
chorus sang two. Madrigals by Gib-
bons and Morely, and two Clhan-
sons by Paul Hindemith. The audi-

ence seemed to enjoy these a great

ered Fantasy on American Folk
Ballads by Donavan. This proved
interesting harmonically and them-
atically, and the Yale boys looked
as if they were having a good time
singing it.

Bryn Mawr then sang Three
Kentucky Mountain Folk Songs,
arranged for the Chorus~ by Ruth
Abbott. These had been sung at
Arts Night, and it was a pleasure
to hear them again.

The concert ended with Bryn
Mawr and Yale singing two Eng-
lish Folk Tunes.

Most notable throughout the eve-
ning was the fine sense of feeling
which both the Chorus and Glee
Club displayed for the music they
sang. A group may achieve tech-
nical perfection, but without feel-
ing, this perfection is worth little.
To Mrs. de Varon and Mr. Barth-
olomew is due much of the credit
for so successful an evening.
