L. Heydenreich
Sees Progress

German Scholars Fight
Problems Caused:
By War

‘Goodhart, February 22..— Dr.
Ludwig H. Heydenreich, speaking
on “Art and Scholarship in Post-
War Germany,” explained that in
spite of the material destruction
and the confusion and insecurity
of life in Germany today, there has
been progress in the reconstruction
of scholarship and in the develop-
ment of educational opportunities.
The new Central Institute for His-



Dr. Heydenreich is the Director, is
an example of this progress, since
it forms a center of international
understanding as well as one of
study in a particular field.

The art historian has an in-
creased responsibility and oppor-'
tunity because of the need for re-'
building in Germany, particularly
the cities which were destroyed to
a very great extent. Housing is
an essential and immediate prob-
lem, and the reconstruction of ar-

Students to Plan
Charter Revision

The Political Science Depart-
ments of Bryn Mawr and Haver-
ford colleges and the Student Divi-_
sion of United World Federalists
are sponsoring a model review con-
ference to revise the United Na-
tions Charter which will be held
at Haverford College, March 18th
through 20th. College students
from, the Middle Atlantic Region
interested in the problem of Inter-
national Peace are invited to at-
tend the conference for a thorough
examination and discussion of the
United Nations Charter and a va-
riety of proposals looking towards
changing the United Nations under
Article 109 into a workable World
Government. In a preparatory
Commission, and in seminars, com-
mittee meetings, and plenary ses-
sions, the participating student
delegates, representing the nations
of the world, will discuss the theo-
retical and practical problems in-
volved and will attempt to draft
adequate amendments.

The purpose of the Conference
is three-fold: to encourage partici-
pants to get a better understand-
ing of the United Nations’ history,
its theoretical structure and the
organs through which it carries |
out its day-to-day operations; to
inquire into the theoretical and
practical requirements inherent in
the idea of a constitution for 2
world federal government which is
at once workable, @eceptable and
desirable, (a world federal govern-
ment meaning a world organiza-
tion with the authority and power
to enact, interpret and _ enforce
world law upon individuals within
those limits set by its constitu-
tion); to attempt to discover how
the United Nations Charter may
be revised in order to meet these
criteria for a world federal gov-
ernment,

Taki Fujita, Graduate, Describes
Japanese) Schools, Political Life

by Marian Edwards ’50

We are fortunate to have on our
campus this semester Miss Taki

Fujita, a Bryn Mawr graduate who |.

has just arrived from Japan where
she taught at Tsuda College in the
suburbs of Tokyo. “Tsuda Col-
lege,” she told us, “was founded
in 1900 by a Bryn Mawr graduate,
Ume Tsuda, who believed in giving
higher education to the Japanese
women at large, rather than only
to the emperor’s daughters. To-
day, with another Bryn Mawr
graduate as President, Tsuda Col-
lege is one of the five colleges in
Japan that have been given college
status,

Miss Fujita, while staying at the
Graduate Center, is here to study
college administration, student
government, student guidance and
student-faculty relations. “By ob-
serving the authority and principle
of democracy at Bryn Mawr,” she
said, “I hope to help students when

February 25, 26

The Skinner Workshop will be
the scene of Playwrights’ Nights
on Friday, February 25 at 7:30,
and Saturday, February 26, at
8:00, when original plays will be
presented for the first time.

The program, which is open to
the public, and for which there
will be no admisison~ charge, will
feature experimental, informal
productions designed to test audi-
ence reaction.

Friday night the following plays
will appear: “How Like an Angel”,
by Reg Collier who will also play
the lead in this “tragedy of a
young married couple”, and “The
White Witch of Rose Hall”, by
Evan Jones. In this “atmospheric
melodrama set in the West Indies’,
Dick Johnson will play the leading
role.

Saturday’s program will start
with “Inherit the Wind”, by Helen
Goldberg; Harriet Rhodes, Nancy
Riley, Margo Vorys, and David
Thomas will comprise the cast.
Joan Bowers will play the lead in
John Dyson’s “Intrusion in Aug-
ust”; and Harold Lynch’s “Matter
of Money”, will feature Bill Bish-

Darrow Outlines
Physics Research

There are three measures of the
rrowth of pies gs Dr. Karl
Darrow in his speech to the Sci-
ence Club on “Twenty-five Years
of American Physics”: the num-
ber of members of the American
Physical Society, the number of
journals published, and the inven-
‘ions and discoveries of the science
itself. For the first two Dr. Dar-
row gave statistics, of the third he

racy is... that it is living.” While
she is in this country she hopes she
can find teachers to come to Japan.

Miss Fujita expressed her keen
interest in certain women’s move-
ments in Japan where she is pres-
ident of the New Japan Women’s
League, similar to our League of
Women Voters, and on the Advis-
ory Board of the Women and Juv-
eniles’ Bureau.

“Conditions in Tokyo are better-
ing,” she continued, “although
Tokyo is ‘as cold as Bryn Mawr,
and we have no heat ... Since
books are prohibitively expensive,
the girls often must copy texts.”
This condition is due to the lack of
paper and the cornering of the
supply by the Black Market. The
transportation is: almost impos-
sible, she said, and the girls who
commute are tired when _ get
to school.

Speaking on Japanese politics, |
she pointed out that “the Japan-|
ese people are nat satisfied with

the government ai all,” and she
expressed her disappointment that
she had to leave before the elec-
tions. Polarization is taking place
in Japan’s politics, while the mid-
dle party is fast disappearing. In
the last elections, the most conser-
vative element secured control of
the government, while additional
Communist seats were obtained.
Within the student ranks there

De Laguna Given

Research Grant

Miss Frederica de Laguna, As-
sociate Professor of Anthropology
at Bryn Mawr, has just been elect-
ed Fellow of the newly-formed
Arctic Institute of North America,
and has been given a grant for re-
search aid, which will cover a field
trip to Alaska this summer. The
institute, a post-war organization,
was inaugurated by Canadians and
Americans especially interested in
Arctic research.

Miss de Laguna was made a
charter member of the Institute
last year, and has many profes-
sional acquaintances among the
present fellows. On her field trip
this summer she plans to make a

country, in southeastern Alaska,
concentrating on the archaeology
and ethnology of the area. “What
I really want to get is a picture of
the history of the development of
the culture,” Miss de Laguna said;
she hopes‘to cover everything from
the earliest remwitis to the effect
of World War II on the present
day Indians.

(Miss de Laguna has worked in
Alaska before, but farther north
than the Tlingit territory. During
the next few summers she hopes to
get a collaborative research proj-
ect under way, by which more as-
pects of the general problem may

Unfinished Characters

by Hanna Holborn, ’50

The Freshmen have talent,
there’s no doubt about it. It comes
in both quantity and quality, in all
shapes and sizes, and was amply
exhibited in the skillful and enter-
taining presentation of Out on a
Limbo, the best Freshman Show
that has come along for some time,

The plot of the characters of an
unfinished novel who are doomed
to live in Limbo Land until com-
pleted, without being too far de-
veloped (at times, indeed, it al-
most disappeared) served as an ex-
cellent background for some de-

DP Controversy

The figures on the DP scholarship were heartening, since
they presented a $46 increase over the $250 goal, but the fact
that contributions were not unanimous is disappointing.
“DPs can stay where they are’; “Why doesn’t the college
pick someone it knows about?”; “Why not take someone who
can pay part of her.expenses?”—these were some of the ob-
jections confronting solicitors.

There are one million Displaced Persons living in crowd-

ed, inadequate, almost hopeless conditions in European
camps. In spite of their suffering, they have a tremendous
will to start over, to work, study, prove themselves good citi-
zens in a land of at least some opportunity. They are welcom-
ed by Canada, New Zealand, Belgium, Australia, England.
But in the United States, a small group complained that it
wants no Jews, no Catholics, that America has only enough
for her own needs; in short, that it wants nothing to do with
foreigners. The result was the Wiley-Rivercomb Act, which
has practically stopped any aid whatsoever. Of 50,000 DPs
slated to be taken in during a three-months period, exactly
2,499 have been accepted.

The war, it was maintained, was fought to free people
from concentration camps and make opportunities available
to all. The peace, it seems, is waged to keep the same peo-
ple in camps of a different name, so that we may revert to
isolationism and a purely American prosperity. A new bill
is up before the 81st Congress, one which would erase bigot-
ed restrictions and enable the entrance of 400,000 DPs. There
is danger that this act may be impeded by the same group
which blocked the other. At Bryn Mawr, on a smaller but no
less intense scale, a similar struggle is proceeding. The
scholarship will go through, but any aid which we can offer
could be effectively countered by the “Why don’t they stay
where they are?” attitude . The DP scholarship is one of the
most creative things done by the college this year, or any
year. It can also be one of the most satisfying; it is up to us
to make it so.

‘No Purchase Cards ae

It is naturally tempting to think of paying ten per cent
less than anyone else, in the village stores, but the great harm
the Purchase Card System could easily do if adopted at Bryn
Mawr more than offsets its possible advantages. The pur-
pose of the plan is to reduce student living expenses, and has
undoubted success in colleges wheré students eat in the town
and can get reduced restaurant rates, or buy their | books and

Students Study
Functions of UN

By Betty Beierfeld, 51

In a huge modernistic building
filled with smooth tan furniture
and soft green rugs, students from
all of the colleges in the Philadel-
phia area observed the workings
of the UN last Friday. They noted,
in the large, comfortable confer-
ence room of the Economic and
Social Council, an extremely in-
formal atmosphere, despite official
wrangling over technicalities. As-
sistants to the delegates wandered
about wearing the earphones of
their translation machines and
holding the small black boxes in
front of them. At one point, in the
midst of a tense discussion the
Chinese delegate smiled a bit rue-
fully when addressed and com-
mented “You only want to hear
me speak because I do so so rare-
ly.”

The subject under discussion was
equal pay for equal work for both
sexes. While the gentlemen on the
council were theoretically idealis-
tic, they were also realistic, as
several of them stated for the
record, so nothing of practical
value was passed.

A visit to the Security Council
left much the same -impression—
the men were brilliant and human-
itarian, but could not act because
of technicalities and caution.

It was at lunch that. the possi-
bilities of the UN were seen most
clearly. In the cafeteria were the
members of the secretariat—peo-
ple from 58 nations who were
brought together by the UN and
take orders only from it. They
seemed to symbolize the purpose
of an international organization.

In a speech to the students, Mr.
Harris, of New Zealand, a member
of the Secretariat, explained the
organization of the UN and com-
pared its present position to that
of the United States at Valley
Forge. Knowledge on the part of
the members of the UN—the citi-
zents of the 58 member natians—
will enable it to progress. A sing-
ing commercial put out by the UN
stated the goal of all its members.
A cheerful voice sang, “I want to
live in a friendly world.”

On Purchase
Cards

To the Editor:

The attention of the student body
is called to a project which the
National Student Association voted
to sponsor at the Madison Conven-
tion last August — the Purchase
Card System. This™ system pro-
vides the means whereby the stud-
ent of a member NSA college may
buy a Purchase Card for one dol-
lar which will entitle her to sales
discounts on merchandise pur-
chased at stores in the college com-
munity or any other community
throughout the U.S. in which the
plan has been put into effect. The
plan operates on the theory that
the merchant will honor the Pur-
chase Card and give the student
a discount in return for the as-
surance of--added patronage,

Because NSA is promoting this
plan and because it has worked
successfully at many universities
and colleges, the NSA campus
committee feels that it should be
presented to the student body who
may then decide whether we should
establish it here. For this reason,
I would like to present both sides
of the question in hopes of elicit-
ing a response that has come out
of serious deliberation and carefu.
consideration of the plan’s impli-
cations.

PRO: The Purchase Card Sys-
tem is appealing because it is an
immediate and practical way for
reducing the students cost of liv-
ing. Moreover, it not only brings



N EWS TRYOUTS

NEWS tryouts will be held
before spring vacation this
year, since the present Staff -and
Board are too few to put out the

men and sophomores are partic-
ularly urged to try out. A pre-

benefits to the students, but also
to the cooperating business enter-
prises by channeling student pur-
chasing power to their stores. In
the pilot project operating in Buf-
falo, last year, it was found that
students who took advantage of
the plan substantially reduced their
living expenses while at college.
Also, local businesses cooperating
in the system found substantial in-
creases in their sales, more than
offsetting the discounts offered.
It should be understood that the
student is not setting out to gain
economic advantage in the com-
munity without reason. We are
primarily a money spending, rather
than a money making group. In
rae college, we are placed in
a peculiar economic vacuum,”
| sinee adequate preparation for a
\college degree allows little time for
holding down a job. Moreover, stud-
ents in college are an asset to the
community as well as to the na-
tion at large, therefore any plan
‘which might enable more students
,to pay the expenses of college
would be worthwhile.

good. Stores which depend to any extent on the patronage of
the college would be in effect forced to adopt the purchase
card, without any guarantee that their sales would be enough
increased to compensate for the ten per cent loss. However
lofty and laudable the principles involved may be, in fact the
Bryn Mawr student body would be converted into a powerful
economic pressure group. The final effect might very well be
to put the college and the vill in a tense business relationship
quite unlike their present one of mutual aid.

The whole Purchase Card System has the implication of
using position to gain private advantage which is not, on the
whole, quite what Bryn Mawr expects from the NSA. When

To the Editor:

It was with great interest that £
read your feature article last weelc
entitled “Exhibitions of Modern
Dancing Are Found Educational
but Flat”. As a member of dance:
club it was most illuminating to-
have such a frank appraisal. It.
gives us a good criterion as to
what to expect from the prejudiced.
and. non-dance-educated in the au--
dience. “However, it is comforting:
to think that your critic now feels.
herself not quite as uneducated in
the field of dancing as she obvious-
ly had been previously. Maybe our
next reviewer will be more ‘educat-
ed’—but not ‘obnoxiously so’, in
the field of the dance.

I felt it a shame that in the ar-
ticle’s preoccupation with the
workshop’s shortcomings that one
of the most outstanding numbers
was completely omitted—an inter-
pretation of a Rachmaninoff pre-
lude, danced by Anneliese Sitarz
and Adelaide Wahlert.

looked least like a group of epilep-
tic Indians around a campfire, and
therefore seemed especially effect-

tence be? Not only have I worked
with epileptics at the Nor-
ristown Mental Hospital, and not.
only do I hail from ‘Injun Terri-

watch and appreciate the ‘epileptic

orable comments in sarcasm and

since it offers a plausible solution
for reducing our cost of living,.
the purchase card has many impli-
cations which should be thoroughly
considered. First of all, we must:
consider the principle of student.

Can we honestly believe that we,,.
as students, are a special group.

whole, and therefore are justified’
in asking for special economic
privileges, perhaps at the expense:
of our present amiable relations
with the community and at the
expense of the idealistic principles
of equality and non-discrimination
which are a basic part of Bryn
Mawr College as well as NSA?
Secondly, although we don’t in-
tend to be a pressure group, by
entering into this plan we become
a part of a great compact economic
force in the community capable of
exerting economic pressure on the
»|merchants in the vill; I don’t be-

per se, but when they exert a cer-
tain power at the expense
of others, they are dangerous
We could not be assured
that by giving us a discount of
10% the merchants might not
raise the prices for other groups
by 10%.
We must consider, also, how
feasible this system would be at
Bryn Mawr, and how it would
affect our relations with the com-
munity. We are a small college in
a community that has three other
schools, so that the vill is not en-
tirely dependent on us for patron-
age. However, we are dependent
on the vill for their advertising in
our college publications; there is
a mutual and healthy interdepend-
ence now which might be changed
by the Purchase Card System.

1914-15, the first year of the

meet amicably together.”

It was a year of protestation, ac-
cording to the NEWS Correspond-
ence Column: “Why do people,sit
on the outside seat in Chapel so
that all people coming in later
have to climb over them?” ... “I
write to protest against, your very
careless proof reading.” ... “all I
want to say, 1916, is that through
the years that we have been at col-
lege we have never won anything
worth speaking of in athletics,”—
but, except for the Juniors,
(“1916’s weakest point is their in-
ability to shoot baskets”), Bryn
Mawr took athletics. seriously and
energetically, \

Everybody went to Chapel. The
“sky pilot of the lumberjacks,”
who died that same year, gave a
sermon called “On the Trail of the
Lumberjack in the Parish of the
Pines.” On Friday mornings in
Chapel Miss Thomas discussed lit-
erary, figures, criticizing Shakes-
peare for his one omission—“the
modern woman,” and “advising ev-
erybody to read Shelley.”’ (She told
the graduates “the difference be-
tween men and women scholars
and how to overcome them,” and
on May Day recounted how an ar-
chitect drew and redrew Rock tow-
er “six times before he and I were
satisfied that it was exactly
right’).

At the Seniors’ reception for the
graduates, “Aida was effectively
rendered in the stentorian tones of
Helen Taft, assisted by other oper-
atic stars of 1915.” She played
Tilburina “stark mad in white sa-
tin” in the Senior play, and won
the Essay prize, a gold watch and
chain. “The Essay department felt
that not only style and finish, but
substance must be taken into con-
sideration.”

The war still seemed at a dis-
tance, though Miss Park had a
narrow escape when she met the
German army marching six abreast
along a poplar-lined road on her
way through Belgium to the sea-
coast “in a dilapidated coupe,
hitched to an old ploughhorse.” A
friend of the college wrote from
the front: “The bullets whistle
constantly, like a swarm of angry
bees. We live crouched down in a
chalk ditch ... it is a war of rab-
bits, or of moles.” A letter from
Berlin describes the German
troops: “Just one flower,” is all
they ask for, over and over again,
and... go marching by, with a
rose in their gun... and the can-
nons almost hidden under branch-
es and blossoms... ” *

Bryn Mawr students in 1914-15
were enthusiastic "and earnest in
work and play—partly because the
college was still quite small and
new, partly because everyone was;

Freshman, Sophomore Present
Their Opinions of Hell Week

by Linda Bettman 752

Isn’t it fun to walk backwards
even up and. down-stairs.or.to-wear
the same smelly sweater all week
or to get up at seven-thirty in the
morning and do setting-up exer-
cises before breakfast? Not to be
unsporting, or bitter, or anything
but completely exhausted, no, it
isn’t. y
From Sunday, Feb. 138, to Sat.,
Feb. 19, was Hell Week, a well-
named period during which the
Freshmen, besides producing a
large scale, excellent, and difficult
musical comedy and paying just a
little heed’ to their studies (no
doubt at Mrs. Broughton’s and the
Senate’s request), are to be sub-
missive, helpful, respectful, and
amusing in the presence and at the

by Jane Roller ’51

With high spirits, sophomores
devised lists of freshman do’s-and-
don’ts for the customary, annual
Hell Week. Although we didn’t
object if our status was somewhat
exalted by necessarily “respectful”
freshmen, the main point was to
continue a_ purposeful tradition.
We anticipated opportunities for
the ingenuity of freshmen as well
as sophomores, general hilarity,
and enough of a “get-tough” pol-
icy to make Saturday morning an
exciting contrast.

Calling sophomores “Aunt,”
whispering for a full day, wearing
non-matching socks and carrying
stuffed animals, and presenting a
“sexy” operetta at dinner—were

Miss Fujita described as “very few,
but very strong.” This extreme
minority, through its mass meet-
ings and effective tactics, has been
instrumental in swaying public
opinion. “Japanese students must
learn,” she maintained, “how to
have an opinion and to stick to it.”
‘Although complaints are made
about the occupation policy of the
allied forces, she continued, the U.
S. Army is trying not to interfere
and is really helping Japan, since
it has brought food to Japan and
not taken from the Japanese.
Since it is impossible to take
money out of Japan because Japan
has not signed the peace treaty
yet, Miss Fujita expressed a deep
gratitude to Bryn Mawr College

I. R. C. Discusses

Chinese Problems

Haverford Commons, February
16, 1949. Shang May Kwan, a
Chinese graduate student at Bryn
Mawr, discussed the growth and
the nature of the rivalry between



—
ists in China at an International
Relations Club meeting. Pointing
out that the Communist party in
China has won great support be-
cause its program of redistribution
of the land offers some real hope
to the people, she drew attention
to the fact that the Communist
Party is not dominated by Moscow.
At its beginning there were links
with Moscow, but since the out-
break of the civil war in 1945, its
main concern has been to keep
alive, and there is no longer much
contact with Russia.

In 1946 Marshall went to China
and succeeded in getting agree-
ment from both sides to the forma-
ion of a coalition government.
The terms of this agreement were
so changed by the Nationalists
that the Communists would prac-
tically have been deprived of a
voice in the government; and con-
sequently the Communists were
left no choice but to fight.

The recent peace offer of the
Communists does not seem to
promise much hope for an immedi-
ate—-solution;~ for~the~breach ~ be-
tween the Nationalists and the
Communists is so great that the
Communists would only consent to
a coalition government that ex-
cluded the far right groups. The
power of the war lords based on
financial power rather than popu-
lar support, is great. The Com-
munists will not be satisfied with
less than the death of those war
criminals they have named who
have been seeking to destroy them
for so long.

Although the Communists re-
gard the United States as an en-
emy due to our support of the Na-
tionalist regime, one Communist

Packing and Trip to Sea Shore
Filt Final Days At East House

Specially contributed |
By Edie Mason Ham, ’50

Tne end of May came and with
it heat and a horde of black ward-
robe trunks. These sat on the
porch and waited to be packed. We
teit no extremes of regret at. the
coming departure and, in true
style, piled the trunks.aginst the
front door in a great barricade.
iuvery time Jeannette pulled one
aside to make entrance possible, we
woulda push another one in until
yveanne.te went nearly mad with
irusctration. Why the actual pack-
ing and leaving caused no terrible
pangs, it is hard to say. We had
veauzed all year that this could
not.go on forever. We were not,
at any rate, being suddenly torn
away and we had come to know
each other so well and had done so
much that there was none of the
hopeless regret of lost. opportun-
ity. Any sorrow we felt at leaving
we had felt equally at all other
times. And as our arrival had
seemed natural, so did our depart-
ure. Moreover, the departure was
so difficult in some of its parts, for
instance, packing, that it was a
relief to think of its being over.

Packing is something which is
charming to me as I look ahead to
it because it offers such chances
for beautiful organization and pre-

tning's in neat piles going into ap-
pointed places. In actuality, it is
a horror. I believe to this day that
4 was very sick the night I tried
to pack. 1 had had a peculiar rash
for two days. By the night of pack-
ing I was quite befuddled. I pack-
ed and unpacked and went dizzly
up and down the stairs. First I
thougnt everything that was being
iett at college could go in the trunk
and [ vaguely remember putting
the other things in boxes and suit-
cases. It was clear this would not
work. I unpacked everything and
put it all out on the floor. I could
no longer tell one object from an-
other or my _ possessions from
Gwynne’s. lIeeling hot and itchy
and light-headed, I careened down-
stairs to the smoker.

A Schools Announce

Programs for Summer

wn

The New School for “Social Re-
search in New York has arranged
a six week’s sesion in Europe for
next summer. The session will be
held in three ‘European cities;
Paris, Annecy (France, near Gen-
eva), and an unspecified city in
England. Three separate groups
of ‘seventy students will visit each
country for two weeks, studying
under both American and Euro-
pean scholars. Lectures will be
supplemented by visits and field
trips. The estimated cost for
round trip and tuition is $850. Ap-
ply Summer Session in Europe,
New School, 66 West 12th Street,
New York.

The Summer School of Euro-
pean Studies at Zurich, in Switzer-
land, is offering courses in Politi-
cal Science and German for five
weeks in July and August this
simmer, with a sixth week of short
lectures in the Swiss Alps during
August. Students will also attend
week-end excursions, concerts, and
weekly international forums. Write
the Director, Munsterhof 20, Zur-

The University of San Marcos
in Lima, Peru, is offering a six
weeks session for Americans, be-
ginning the first of July. The only
prerequisite is a reading knowl-
edge of Spanish. Courses will deal
with several aspects of South
American and Peruvian culture.

The University of San Carlos
in Guatemala is offering a similar
session, “based on the Spanish and



ture, and institutions.” Apply ‘to

“What shall I do?” I asked the
substitute warden, “I can’t seem
to do any packing.”

She was about as helpful as a
small boy of ten.

“That,” she said, “is why it is
so good for girls to go to college.
You learn to make decisions with-
out hesitating.”

“Oh, Substitute Warden, Substi-
tute Warden,” I thought from my
very heart, “I hope you are faced
with the ultimate in human deci-
sions and hesitate so long that
either alternative is disaster.”

We went to the ocean for a few
days after exams andbefore the
final events at college. Ami and
Priscilla were remarkable. Priscilla
fixed the electric lights in the cot-
tage we were staying in and Ami
found blankets. We spent two days
in the sun. Priseilla was happier
here than she had been on her first
trip to the ocean. The third day it
rained. We all felt\ rather sick
from too much sun except Ami:
She felt fine and prepared to go to
market. The group feeling was
that someone should go with her
and that someone was I. There is
nothing much you can do when
this happens so I went.

The amount and quality of food
that Ami bought caused me to sink
down on a crate of grapefruit un-

I would have been content to eat
bread and peanut butter and milk,
and pancakes would have been suf-

taste in food did not vary with her
environment. I felt rather weak

norrined that they would give away
tne secret.

At 10:80, the animal hunt was on
in earnest. Trish Mulligan and
uinny Moliyday, blissfully unaware
that the peacock was reposing in
the next room with old alumnae
puiletins, sat in the beil tower of
1ayior, ear-deep in dust, heckling
tne campus over the P. A. system,
When they climbed down at two
A.M., they were informed of the
animals location, and went off
gasping, “You mean the animal
was really up there? We never
even DKKAMED.. .!!”

ine viggest faux pas regarding
the animal came as a distinct
shock when, at three A.M., the
two all-night guards found them-
selves in the company of a gentle-
man who each one thought belonged
to the other one. They thought he
was some Haverford’ man whose
name they had temporarily for-
gotten. As it turned out, neither
of them had ever in their lives
seen him before! When they asked
who he was he said, “Well,
zll tell you — IV’m engaged
to a sophomore .. .” Pandemonium
reigned for a few minutes, but
he -was sworn to secrecy, and as
far as the Freshman class is con-
_cerned, a certain Radnor sophomore
is marrying a darn fine fellow!

Grand faux pas number two oc-
curred when the Life Boys (pun!)
were leaving Taylor at 6 A.M.
after taking pictures of the animal.

They were overheard by sopho-

mores to say,

“Too bad we couldn’t get it to
spread its tail!” Thank Heaven the
guards didn’t hear about that one
until long afterwards!

As soon as Life had left, the

guards battened down the hatches
again and just in time; sopho-
mores slyly arrived on the scene,
and sat on the spiral stairs to the
fourth floor of Taylor. They were
waiting for the unsuspecting fresh-
men to open the trapdoor and come

down, and then the sophs could

capture the stronghold. They could

be heard whispering about the

freshmen who had been around the
night before.

“Where’s Dobbs?” said one, not

knowing that Dobbs, one ear glued
to a crack in the trap door sat
laughing silently directly on their
heads!

The Big Night arrived. After
the second act, the grubby, ex-
hausted relief guard, consisting of
Emmy Cadwalader and Helen
Dobbs brought the peacock through
the rain and slush to the stage
door.

“Gee!” said one of the Harvard
Krocks, “It’s pretty. It’s stuffed,

Graduates Plan

Informal Dance

Just a week after the big Un-
dergraduate weekend of Freshmen
Show and the Undergrad Dance,
on Saturday, February 26th, the
Grad students are having their
festivities. This will be an infor-
mal dance, to be held in the dining
room of the Graduate Center.

There will be about thirty-five
couples, who will dance to the mu-
sic of guitar, clarinet, and base,
provided by one of the Haverford
orchestras. Frances Matthai, the
Vice-President of the Graduate
Club, is ex-ofticio in charge of- this
social event, and she is assisted by
Wadad Habib, the President, and a
committee. Their work, as far as
the decoration is concerned, how-
ever, will consist mainly of de-
ornating the dining room of its
tables and. chairs: the dance will
be as informal as possible.

NOTICES

Norris Baby
The William E. Norrises have
announced that their new son, who
weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz. at birth, will be
christened Tom.

Mock Security Council
The Mock Security Council to be
held in the Deanery tonight will be
open to everyone after all, al-
though if space becomes limited
students may be expected to be
turned away at the door.

. Junior Prom
The date of the Junior Prom has
been changed: to April 28rd, the
same weekend as Arts Night and
the Maids and Porters Mikado. The
co-chairmen of the Prom are Bebe

It isn’t that those blue tank suits
aren’t just gorgeous, particularly
on Friday of a big weekend, when
there are men in the hall, or that
thinking up skits every night is

the history. reading that gets us
down. And I didn’t come to col-
lege to make my own bed, much
less some sophomore’s.

It must be reaffirmed that on the
whole, the Radnor sophomores
were most decent about their re-
quirements (this is written by the
black mark martyr), even rather
amusing at times, But perhaps the
fear of mutiny from a class that
outnumbers them more than three
to one calmed them a little. Or
perhaps they knew that the sup-
pressed desire costumes, to be
worn on Friday, would be too dis-
tracting for the professers if worn
to class.

what apprehensive. A few bitter

the looming menace, of overpower-
ing strength in numbers. °

When the freshmen earnestly
participated in Hell Week activi-

tion. No one could help but be

ly evident in their imaginative
skits. At least one professor show-
ed enthusiasm for Hell Week an-

ond act, which was extraordinary
—were excellent; further effects of
color and contrast were created by
the lighting and costuming. Al-
most everyone—and the cast was
tremendous—seemed thoroughly at
home on the stage, and seemed to
be enjoying herself; it was prob-
ably the only show in history in
which all spoke distinctly and could
be heard. Pat Onderdonk, who di-
rected the Show,-can take pride in
her work.

Julie Stevens, playing the lead-
ing role as the harassed novelist,
looked well and sang well, and
gave unity to a production which
might otherwise have become a
mere revue. Among her charac-
ters, Claire Minton as Constance
gave the most finished perform-
ance; she positively exuded person:
ality, and made her “cutest little
place called Bergdawf’s” the fun-
niest bit of dialogue in the show.
To Elaine Marks, who played Per-
cy, went one of the most amusing
songs; her “Please make me a
man” brought down the house.
Linda Bettman, as Horace the
prize-fighter, shadow-boxed effect-
ively throughout.

The first act was a bit too crowd-
ed, with various superfluous char-
acters wandering about in Miss
Stevens’ living room and boudoir,
but any faults were compensated
for by amusing renditions of the
“Prohibition Song” by a tomato-
juice addict named Strawhecker
and “Goodbye, Bryn Mawr, We’va
Had Enough”, sung by “four
strahge women”—i. e., Bar Town-
send, Nancy Anderson, Caroline
Price, and Alice Cary. This quar-
tet sang beautifully and profes-
sionally; their actions were natur-
al and good, and they gave vigor
and spirit to their singing.

The second act was the most va-
ried and, taken as a whole, the
best in the show. Its highpoint
came with the kick chorus—an ex-
tremely good-looking line which
practically knocked itself (and the
audience) out with its expert pre-

cision and energy. There. were two
other dances in this act, both of
them good and, from the viewpoint
of traditional Freshman Show
standards, daring. The one was the
Schizophrenic Dance performed by
Harrer, Glassberg, and Ripps; the
other, Francine du Plessix’s rigid
Apache Dance . There was a won-
derful song, too, sung by the Tol-
stoy Octette and a substitute blues
singer, Jean Gunderson. Jean has
a lovely voice and excellent stage
presence; she sang her lines
(‘fRussia’s s0-0-0-0-0 cold. The
Reds are turning blue’) impudent-
ly and delightfully.

The third act was again troubled
by an excess of characters and
song, but, again, it didn’t matter.
The songs were nice, the Harvard
Krokodiloes welcome; even Jimmy
Wood was funny. The triumph of
the freshmen’s not-dodo-but-pea-
cock was exciting, and the finale,
in which the whole cast sang some
of the Show songs, was spirited
and_made.a thoroughly happy end-
ing.

These are what might be consid-
ered the high points of the show,
but there are many more which de-
serve mention.

exhibit entitled The Navajos, pre-
pared by Life magazine, The first
part of the exhibition records pic-
torially the daily life of a Navajo
family—their domestic life, their
business transactions, their herd-
ing and baking.

The following section deals with
their ritual and religion, and in-
cludes pictures taken by firelight of
the Navajo cleansing-by-sweating
ceremony. The last part of the ex-
hibition shows some of the prob-
lems of the Navajos as they try to
adapt to white culture. Living in
the highlands.of northern Arizona,

history is linked to all the human- {the Navajos have not merged with

'the

white race—formerly they
could migrate when resources ran
out, but they can do so no longer,
and are now living on land that

can no longer support them. The |

really make a student buy at a
store she had never patronized be-
fore? Could the stores really be
assured of increased patronage?

The Purchase Card System will
be discussed in hall meetings this
week. The student will then be
asked to indicate on a poll whether
or not she would like to have it
put into effect here. The NSA
committee would like to stress the
fact that it is of extreme import-
ance that the student weigh the
pro’s and con’s carefully before
‘marking the poll, thus taking into
‘consideration the repercussions of
the plan as well as measuring it
against the moral principles of
equality and fair dealing.

was a great clutter which resulted
from all the possessions of those

groups overlapped so that my hoc-

While Betty Jean footed it neat-

scrambled here and there trying

directly ahead and then two feet
to left or right as though the floor
were marked out in squares whose
corners were stopping places. At
each stop she would grovel in piles
near her until she found-something

will be six committees which will
deal with specific problems and re-
port back to a plenary session. The
six committees include one on Pre-
amble and General Problems, on
Legislature, on Executive (En-
forcement), on Judiciary, on Pow-
ers of Government, en Ratification
and Transition Period. In addition
there will be seminars, groups of
ten or fifteen students, which will
attempt to ask and answer ques-

both theoretical and practical,

Observers as well as those who
are official delegates to the con-

cannot participate in the debate.
The agenda for the conference will
be drawn up at the Preparatory
Commission on February 26th in
New York, to which anyone who
plans to be a delegate is invited.
The committee has prepared a list
of references which will be helpful

England Asks America
For Magazines, Books

To Miss Agnew:

Dear Madam,

Yesterday the English-Speaking
Union here asked me if I could
possibly suggest anything to help
fill a great. want among English
students—that is, for American
books and magazines. As you
know, it is forbidden to send money
out of England to America, and so
it is imposible for colleges and
universities to subscribe to Amer-
ican magazines.

As a former Bryn Mawr student
(1928), now living in England, I
am venturing to appeal to you. If
the Bryn Mawr Library has any
duplicate copies of such papers
as The New Republic, Atlantic,
Harpers, etc. or any unwanted
books, they would be most wel-
come here, where the young peo-
ple are passionately interested in
American ideas.

Another possibility might be that
the Undergraduate Association
would wish to give a subscription
or subscriptions to the Common
Room or Library of Newnham, Gir-
ton, Somerville, Lady Margaret
Hall, or any other British college.

With apologies for troubling
you and in the hope of your help,
I remain
Yours very truly,
Margaret Coss Flower
(Mrs. Desmond Flower)

Electronic Discoveries
Aid Growth. of Physics
Continued from page 1

The
American Physics centers around

last twenty-five years of
two’ complementary discoveries:
that X-Rays have some corpuscu-
lar properties (A. H. Comptom,
1922) and that electricty has waver
properties ((\C. J. Davison, 1927).
enabled them to

prove that light is of both a corp-

uscular and wave nature.

Up to 1922 psysicists believed
that the world was comprised of
three kinds of elementary par-
ticles: photons, negative electrons,
and protons. To this list has been
added the neutron, the positive el-
ectron (whch is the first particle
discovered by observing just one of
it); mesons, whose masses vary in
proportion to the mass of the elec-
tron; and the neutrino, an “uncom-
fortably ghostly” particle.

Two other advances were made
in physical research by the devel-
opment of radar, the. method of
studying the ionosphere, and in the
study of the resistance of metals.

Dr. Darrow concluded with a
comparison betwen the number of
foreign and American inventors.
He gave a long list of the former
but was able to mention only five
of the latter, one of whom was Dr.
Patterson of the Bryn Mawr Phys-
ics Department.
