Radnor Formed
As Four Class
Undergrad) |Hall

Undergrads Volunteer
To Fill Quota
For 48-49

Goodhart, April 23.—Miss Mc-
Bride announced today the forma-
tion of a new undergraduate hall
in Radnor. Next year’s graduate
students will be housed in the
Wright School, henceforth to be
known as the Graduate Center.
Radnor will be the smallest hall on
campus, with 50 undergraduates.

Radnor hall draw will be held on
Friday, with approximately eight
seniors, 14 juniors, 14 sophomores
and 14 new freshmen. Rooms are
mostly single, with a smoker on
every floor (two of the present
first-floor rooms will be made into
a smoker there).

Radnor will be redecorated over
the summer and repainted. It is
rumored that Radnor food is the
best on campus, including even
home-made bread. The new under-
graduate hall is 30 seconds from
Park and affords a fine view of
archers, senior row and Dr. Wat-
son.

Dr. Martin Foss
Will Lead Chapel

On Sunday, May 22, Dr. Martin
Foss, Professor of Philosophy at
Haverford College, will speak in
chapel on “The Biblical God”. Dr.
Foss came to this country in 19387.
He had previously lived in Berlin
and Paris, where he worked in the
fields of philosophy and law, pub-
lishing books in Kot of these
fields.

‘In 1946 the Princeton Universite

Press published his book on The!

Idea of Perfection in the Western
World.

Dr. Foss is well-known to Bryn
Mawr students. In 1945-46 he was
Visiting Professor of Philosophy
at Bryn Mawr. He is considered
an expert in the field of art as well
as that of philosophy; his son is
the well-known modern composer
Lukas Foss. Dr. Foss will also
lead the discussion group on Wed-
nesday night.



Maids and Porters Christen
‘HMS Pinafore’ Saturday Night

by Betty-Bright Page °49

The Maids’ and Portérs H. M. S.
Pinafore promises to ddck in high
style in Goodhart this \Saturday
night, May 1. Everything is ship-
shape despite the fact that lec-
tures, concerts, plays, and teas
have prevented rehearsals until
Director A. J. Rock ’50 was almost
frantic.

(Last night’s rehearsal, the first
on the stage, was a sight to be-
hold. The stage crew, headed by
Betsy Swope ’50, thoughtfully lick-
ed chocopops as they made final
plans for sets and started to work.
To the front of the stage, maidens
were “Gaily Tripping, Lightly
Skipping,” and the sailors’ chorus

Woollcott Comedy
Is Last Offering
Of Theatre Year

The Man Who Came to Dinner,
given by the Haverford Cap and
Bells Club and the Bryn Mawr
Drama Guild, will be this year’s
last dramatic production. It will
be given on the nights of May 7th
and 8th, as a special attraction for
Haverford’s Alumni Week-end.
“The Moss Hart — George Kauff-
mann comedy,” says the Haverford
News, “is built about the vitriolic
personality of the late Alexander
Woolleott, the prototype of Sheri-
dan Whiteside, and played by Hen-
ry Levinson. Levinson, a perennial
favorite on the Roberts and Good-
hart stages, has pointed for the
Whiteside role for some time and
gives every indication of turning in
a-good—performance.”

Other leads will be Sheila Tat-
nall as Maggie Cutler, Marjie Low
as Lorraine Sheldon, Chris Amus-
sen as Bert Jefferson, Jack Gailey
as Beverly Carleton, Lola Mary
Egan as Harriet Stanley, Margo
Vorys as Mrs. Stanley, Sue Kram-
er as Miss Preen and Lee Haring
as Banjo. Other members of the
cast include: Roller, Grandjouin,
Hornberger and Barber, of Bryn
Mawr; and Bishop, Rank, Thomas,
Oppenheim, Blackwell, Gates, Bald-
win, Blake, R. Edgerton, Jameson,
Bell, Billo, Dyson, Montgomery and
Fleming, from Haverford.

The stage manager for the show
is Charles Gilbert; the prompter,
Claireve Grandjouin. Mr. Thon is
doing his usual able job of direct-

Mrs. Hamid Ali Discusses Role,
Importance of Women in India

Specially contributed by
Radha Watumull *51

Mrs. Hamid Ali is one of the few
‘women delegates to the UN, and
Bryn Mawr had the pleasure of re-
ceiving this distinguished . person-
age at luncheon last week. As one
of India’s representatives to the
UN, Mrs. Hamid Ali is also bring-
ing to the minds of the public the
importance of women in the inter-
national affairs of the post-war
world.

Since the closing of the last UN
session, she and her husband have
been touring the country, making
visits to colleges and various other
institutions. Mrs. Hamid Ali, who
wears the traditional Indian Sari,
had many interesting things to say
on-the state-of India since Gandhi's
assassination. Stunned by his
‘death as was all of India, she felt

~“that India was in for a period of}



great civil war. Although the ri-
ating that followed reached disas-
trous peaks, Mrs. Hamid Ali stat-
ed that India’s affairs are now tak-
ing a more peaceful turn. India’s
provinces are being renamed into
states. After the division of the
country into India and Pakistan,
the migrations of the Hindus out
of Pakistan and the violence be-
tween the Hindus and the Moslems
produced turmoil throughiut In-
lia. However, since the fighting
has almost completely ceased, peo-
ple who were uprooted from. their
homes are beginning to return to
their native provinces.

Mrs. Hamid Ali added that the
position of women in India is of
rising importance. Although they
have for centuries been the sub-
jected sex, more of them are re-

ceiving superlative education, and|.

Schrecker Sets
Philos. of Civiliz.

Dr. Paul Schrecker gave three
definitions of “civilization” in open-
ing his speech on the Philosophy
of Civilization on Wednesday, April
21st: civilization is “some form of
human, activity, some form of or-
ganization under which human as-
pirations are satisfied, and the ob-
ject of history.’”” He went on to
describe the “patterns” of civiliza-
tion, man’s manifestation of these
patterns and changes in pattern.

In every civilization, said Dr.
Schrecker, activity is devoted to
juStice, knowledge, aesthetic aspir-
ation, languageygeronomic organi-
zation and religion. These are the
six basic patterns of human activ-
ity, and they mutually influence
each other,

“Human work” is the process of
application, “manifestation” of the
patterns. Through human work,
one feature of civilization influ-
ences another: i. e., the structure
of law influences the judge, the
courts, the supreme courts, and fi-
nally the constitution — the latter
arises out of the former; and so
with our language—the noun, gen-
der, parts of speech, rules of gram-
mar, and the language as a whole.
One such process is history. Spe-
cifically, prompt action changes de-
tails, and gradually the general as-
pect changes. The pattern of his-
tory is that also of civilization: it
exists as a pattern of direct ex-
plicit action, not as abstract the-
ory. And man follows these gen-

||eral patterns, by imitation and

through tradition. “Patterns of

Chorus Excels
In Penn, B. M.
Spring Concert

Attendance Is Poor;
Missa Pro Battalla
Thrills Audience

by Anne Greet 50

The Bryn Mawr Chorus gave
its best performance this year
in the concert with the Penn Glee
Club last Saturday. Bryn Mawr
started off the evening with a fin-
nished and lively rendition of
Handl’s Repleti Sunt (Double
Chorus). Old Abram Brown was
sung with superb enunciation and
great gusto. Heads shook som-
berly over “he used to wear a long
brown coat that buttoned down be-
fore.” The Last Word of a Blue-
bird by Mr. Goodale in the same
fashion as High Flight gave a fas-
cinating violin timbre to the voic-
es.

Although its swaying rhythms
and unusual harmonies made it
difficult to sing absolutely perfect-
ly, it was one of the loveliest /
pieces on the program. The Uni
versity of Pennsylvania Glee iva
represented by twenty young men,
gallant but few, undoubtedly went
home voiceless after their brave
performance, but no amount of
“Brothers, Sing On!” could bring
to their aid the twenty who were
absent. However, from the size of
the audience they must have gath-
ered that Bryn Mawr did not take
much more cognizance of the Con-
cert_than—did Penn.

The double octette sang two
Canzonets by Palestrina with grav-
ity and charm, Oranges and Lem-
ons, and I’m So Glad Trouble Don’t
Last Alway. The last was pitched
quite high and gave the sopranos
an opportunity to show how very
well they sing. The first of their
two encores, a counterpoint, re-
vealed Mr. Goodale as the pos-
sessor of a splendid bass voice.

The climax of the evening was
the 17th century Spanish Missa
Pro Battalla, The Penn Glee Club
was much improved and the Chorus
sang with even more enthusiasm
and love of their music than be-
fore. The final Amen was thrill-
ing and the whole mass had the
quality of organ music. In ‘this
concert was some of the best sing-
ing the Chorus has done this year,

and, for many, the most interest- _

ing selection of music.

Grants Awarded
Three Scientists

Important grants from the Re-
search Corporation have just been
awarded to Dr. Ernst Berliner, of
the Chemistry Department, and to
Dr. Walter Michels and Dr. Arthur
Patterson, of the Physics Depart-
ment, to enable them to carry on
their own independent research.
Given by the Research Corpora-
tion, a non-profit organization
whose object is to encourage re-
search, these grants will provide
for the salaries of lab assistants,
for materials, and for lab equip-
ment. The grants are given for
one year but are often renewed.
A few months ago, Dr. Gates re-
ceived a renewal of his former
grant, enabling him to continue his
work on morphine derivatives.

An Empty Goodhart

In its last concert of this year with, the University of
Pennsylvania Saturday night, the Bryn Mawr College Chorus
gave a splendid performance. Most of the college seemed
completely unaware of the fact despite the posters and pub-
licity given the concert on campus.

Lectures have been numerous this spring; theatrical
productions and group activities such as Arts Night have
taken time on the schedule of events. They have all been en-
joyed and appreciated. With so many interesting events on
campus, it is necessary for us to choose among them, but cer-
tainly good music, which reaches every individual in a per-
sonal way, is worthy of the same encouragement and enthus-
iasm. It is discouraging to feel a lack of support behind any
artistic group; it is discouraging to sing to an empty Good-
hart; and especially it is discouraging to have the culmina-
tion of a year’s hard work go unnoticed, except by a few.

We must remember that music is a vital part not only of
college, but of life outside of Bryn Mawr. How worthwhile
it would have been, then, for the numerous music-lovers on
campus to give up one evening to relax and be inspired.

The Vanishing Book

With only three more weeks of classes in which to do “a
semester’s work”, the annual panic has seized Bryn Mawr.
Sales of Outline books are soaring; typewriters have taken
over the smokers; and the-cloisters.are-peopled- with study-
ing sunbathers. Empty notebooks and unwritten papers
point to the necessity of a shortcut; but too often a shortcut
at someone else’s expense.

During the past few weeks not only have books contin-
ued to disappear from the stacks, but the shelves of the re-
serve room are being rapidly depleted. Not even the reference
room is intact. Both the reference room and the reserve
room have a definite purpose—to enable a large number of
people to use a limited number of books. When one of these
copies “disappears”, it not only causes inconvenience and lost
time, but also prevents the rest of us from “getting through.”

Unfortunately, the need to meet deadlines has also re-
sulted in the “‘loss” of notebooks. and even of papers. All of
us know that integrity of academic work is expected at Bryn
Mawr; we have pledged ourselves to respect and observe this
principle. In addition to the dishonesty of such activity, it

serves only to increase an already gro The ab-

‘Real Situation in China’

A Mistaken Title,

Say Students
To the dalete:
We the undersigned feel that the
article regarding General Feng’s
denouncement of terrorism in Chi-
na, published in the last issue of
the NEWS, failed to point out that
General Feng’s speech was directed
against the Generalissimo Chiang
Kai-shek personally, rather than as
an account of the “Real Situation
in China,” which was the title of
his speech:
We should like to suggest to
anyone interested in China, to read
Dr. Djang’s speech, “China’s Post-
War Problems.” Dr. Djang is now
a lecturer of Political Science at
the Johns Hopkins University.
Copies of Dr. Djang’s speech
may be obtained from any of the

Current Events

Monday, April 26. As everyone
has seen in the papers lately, the
Italian elections.resulted in a defin-
ite victory for the Christian Dem-
ocratic party, with an absolute ma-
jority in the House of Deputies of
307 vs. 261, and a plurality in the
Senate. Miss Serena Fonda, speak-
ing on the Italian Election in Cur-
rent Events tonight, said that this
is, from a general standpoint, a
victory of the anti-Communist par-
ties, for 70% of the Italian people
voted against Communism.

The slogan of the Christian-
Democratic party was “Vote
Christian-Democratic if you want
to be able to vote again”; that of
the Communists was “Vote Com-
munist if you want not to be an
American colony’. The latter
made the mistake, said Miss Fon-
da, who is a Teaching Fellow in
Italian, of over-emphasizing the
possible influence of a foreign
country as a threat, because the
obvious counterpart is the Russian
influence in case of a Communist
victory.

The results of this election show
some important elenients. First,
the- Communists cannot win in Eu-
rope if the elections are free. An-
other point is that the feared dis-
persion of the votes among the
small parties did not occur, and
the danger of a coalition govern-
ment has disappeared.

Communism cannot be fought
with Fascism or Conservatism, de-
clared Miss Fonda, but only with
true democracy, not only political
but also economical—in other
words, in giving to the people what
Communism promises them. An
anti-position is not a productive
position; it does not resolve any-
thing. Today there is only too lit-
tle meaning in being anti-Commun-
ist. To succeed, one must be “yel-
low, blue, or green, not merely
anti-red.”

Alliance Angles

Washington Trip

Sunday, April. 11.—A group of 14
politics majors and “interested peo-
ple’ drove down to Washington on
a trip sponsored by the Alliance
and the Politics Department to
meet various congressmen and dis-
cuss the Marshall Plan, the Italian
elections and other issues with
them. The group met Senators
Taft and Ball, Speaker of the
House Martin and J. Parnell Thém-
as, of the Un-American Affairs
Committee, among others. Most of
these felt that if necessary the U.

human work,” said Dr. Schrecker,

“become the norm as long as they
satisfy human aspirations.”

But what brings about changes
in pattern? Any change in norm |
is an ascent, says Dr. Schrecker;
even the highest patterns must be
changed to satisfy human aspira-
tions: “The criterion of change
equals the degree of freedom.” A
restriction of freedom causes a
conflict within a civilization; if
there can be an adaptation to con-
ditions, there will be an evolution;
if not there will be a revolution.
Dr. Schrecker defined freedom as
“the degree of. satisfaction of as-
pirations in one province without
restricting aspirations in another.”
As Toynbee thought, civilization is
a challenge: “the possibility of si-
multaneous satisfaction of all as-
pirations of human activity.”

~ Labor Panel

Thursday, April 22.—Three labor
leaders; Boris Shiskin, of the AFL;
Henry Shipperd and Phillip Van
Gelder, of the CIO, met in a panel
discussion on whether or not or-
ganized labor should associate with
a political party.

Mr. Shipperd ,contended that to
align with a particular party would
tie labor down, and that it should
rather endorse particular can-
didates who have good labor rec-
ords. “We are ten or fifteen years
away from having a labor party,”
he said: The problem is getting
union members to register; now la-

bor couldn’t give enough support to
have their own party.

Union Member Free

Mr. Shiskin emphasized that a
union member is an individual free
to vote as he pleases. His job or
union should not abridge that free-
dom. The third party allows no
choice and is a one-man show
which can only assure the victory
of a republican nominee. It is too
important a time to wait for a
wave of reaction in four years. We
should emphasize the importance of
the congressmen, and vote for men
who support broad measures for
the good of all the people.

Mr. Van Gelder, who is a third
party congressional candidate, feels
that supporting candidates with
good labor records has proved in-
adequate. He denied that the third
party was working for a wave of
reaction. The present two parties
are “antique political machines,” he

of the physical-organic aspects of .
aromatic chemistry. He will in-
vestigate the reaction mechanisms
of certain classes of aromatic com-
pounds.
Dr. Michels oe Dr. Patterson
have been given a joint grant
which they will divide. Dr. Mi-
chels’ research involves two relat-
ed sets of experiments: 1) a study
of the photo-electric effect (the
emission of electrons from metals
by the action of light at high tem-
peratures), and 2) a study of light
emission from phosphorescent ma-
terials. Both are methods of study-
ing the electronic structure of sol-
ids and the behavior of electrons.
Dr. Patterson will experiment in
the determination of the structure
of organic molecules by X-ray dif-
fraction. The diffraction patterns
shown by the X-rays reveal the ar-
rangement of the atoms:in the
molecule and the distance between
the atoms.

What
For Next Year:

The Journal of Accountancy,
New York. Editorial Assistant.
Typing essential, shorthand desir-
able. Some proof reading, writ-
ing, research, editing, etc. “A little
economics or business knowledge
wouldn’t do any harm; a little ac-
quaintance with accounting term-
inology would be a great help, but
unlikely.” $50 a week for secre-
tarial competence.”

* * *

For the Summer and Next Year:

The Republican National Com-
mittee has written asking for vol-
unteers. The Committee is anxibus
to enlist as many young women as
possible, especially those who have
“shown capacity for leadership in
non-partisan groups.”

Although the Republican Com-|
mittee is the only one which has
made an actual request so far, vol-
unteers will undoubtedly be equal-
ly welcome at Democratic and
Progressive Headquarters. See your
local committees.
