Title Seeks Talent

-For Autumn Issue

The Title 1s seeking stories, es-

* gays, poems, fiction and non-fiction

‘material for publication in its fall
The Board of the Title feels
the student body should realize
that this is their magazine, their
channel for literary expression.
By making . appeals to both
Freshmen and upperclassmen, the
Title hopes to get a wider sub-
scription, thus enabling them to

, publish a bigger and more repre-

sentative issue. The Title urges

‘all writers to send contributions to

Sylvia Stallings, Rhoads North,
before the deadline, November 12.





Undergrad Drive
Committee Seeks
Quota of $12,000

The Undergraduate Committee
for the Drive, headed by Nancy
Martin, 49, has set a quota of
$12,000 for student contributions
during the present year. Last
year’s quota, $7,500, was exceeded
by $2,792.92, and it is hoped that
this year’s quota will also be top-
ped.

Soliciting of freshmen in the in-
dividual halls will begin on Thurs-
day, October 23. Although sopho-
mores and upperclassmen will not
be approached directly, the com-
mittee hopes that they will give as
much as they are able. The rest
of the sum will be made up from
benefit performances, of which the

Junior Show will be the first.

Correlated Courses, Bullfights
Typify Year ‘Down Mexico Way’

By Barbara Ziegler, ’48

Lindsay Harper, °48, and Ada
Klein, ’48, spent last year with the
Smith College Junior -Year-in-Mex--
ico. Their enthusiasm for Mexico
is boundless. Both seniors are
hunting for jobs which will take
them back: next year.

Lindsay.and Ada spent the first
month of their year in Mexico liv-

ving with a family in Puebla. They

“gonsider this one of their most
valuable experiences. Lindsay had
six brothers, two sisters and in-

. mumerable nieces, nephews and in-

laws in her Mexican family, which
gave her a good start towards un-

derstanding the Mexican people.

French embassy in Mexico City, a

art of the same period at the same
time during the year, which added
continuity and interest ‘to all six
of their courses. .

Lindsay and Ada give glowing
details of their field trips. Lind-
say rode on horseback to the fa-
mous voleano -Paricutin. She de-
scribes the thrill she had while
standing in the dark only a short
distance from a flaming stream of
lava, watching hot rocks clang
down the side of the great volcano.

Ada actually unearthed skele-
ons, ceramics and “things” on an
archeological expedition. = The
group also made visits to many of
the beautiful old towns and an-
cient ruins for which Mexico is so
famous. Lindsay wants it to be
known that she did not go to Aca-
pulco, the beach resort which at-
tracts nearly every tourist,

Confining themselves to the
more restricted life of the Mexican
women was an understandable
problem for the “emancipa
norteamericanas.” Lindsay reports

A. Schlesinger
To Speak Here
On October 30

Professor Arthur M. Schlesing-
er,\Jr., author of The Age of
Jackson, will speak on “Patterns
of Democratic Change,” for the
annual Mallory Whiting Webster
Lecture, to be held in Goodhart
Hall, Thursday, October 30, at 8.30,

Professor Schlesinger’s study of
the Jacksonian era, best-seller Pul-
itzer Prize winner of 1945, is noted
for its historical insight and for
its extraordinarily vivid literary
style. Since the publication of this
book, which was based on his Low-
ell Lectures, Professor Schlesing-
er has been regarded by many
people as the most brilliant of the
younger historians.

Following his graduation from
Harvard, where he was a member
of the Society of Fellows, he work-
ed in Washington as a free lance
writer, publishing articles in such
weeklies as Life and Fortune. In
this same year Professor Schles-
inger held a Guggenheim Fellow-
ship and did research on the New
Deal for his forthcoming book to
be titled The Age of Roosevelt.

During the war he worked in the

Undergraduate Council Launches
Kconomy and Clean-Up Campaign



Class of "47 Has
Varied Positions:

Many Still Study

The fruits of a Bryn Mawr de-
gree reaped by the class of 1947
should encourage dubious under-
graduates. Four years at Bryn
Mawr seem to have stimulated
rather than blighted the interests
of the graduates if the list of those
employed is an indication. Some
of them have even gone so far as
to prove that good jobs can be
landed without the aid of “Katy
Gibbs” or her colleagues in the
secretarial field.

A very interesting position is
held by Martha MacDonald, a pro-
gram manager and script writer
forthe World Wide Broadcasting
Company in Boston. Nancy Cow-
ard is doing equally impressive
work. She is helping to:write a
history of the last World War for
the War Department. An interne
with the National Institute of Pub-
lic Affairs, Meg Urban seems to
have a job™with a future. The
class of ’47 is even represented at
the U.N., as Ruby Chen is there
with the Chinese delegation.

Activities Drive

Approaches Goal

The thermometer in Taylor, reg-
istering the contributions made to
the annual Activities Drive, has
now reached the $2,000 mark.
Denbigh leads among the halls
with 100 per cent contributing and
Rhoads is runner-up. The $4,000
goal must be reached by Sunday
night, when the drive officially
ends.

The proceeds from the drive will
be used to finance the varied char-
itable activities sponsored. by. the
League. Edythe LaGrande, ’49,
chairman of the drive, urges each
student’s volunteer support. Hall
representatives will receive the
contributions. It is hoped that
each student will give $7.00.

Urge Help of Students —
To Halt Needless
Expenditures

Today marks the opening of a
campus-wide Economy and Clean-
up Campaign organized by the
Undergraduate Council to continue
through the year. At a time when
costs are rising considerably while
residence fees remain unchanged,
students are urged to unit® in a
concerted effort to cut needless
College expenditures for food, elec-
tricity, water, heat and property
maintenance. The Council empha-
sizes that maintenance of college
property involves keeping it clean.

In formulating its program the
Council has worked with President
McBride, Miss Howe, Director of
Halls; Raymond Buckley, Comp-
troller; and Horace Smedley, Col-
lege Superintendent. “We feel that
the students can be of very real
help in eliminating unnecessary ex-
pense”, Mr. Buckley states.

He reports that the cost for all
halls in preparing and serving
meals in 1946-47 represented an
increase of 6044% over the expend-
iture in 1941-42. In the same five-
year period, the cost of coal for
heating and lighting has risen
55 7/10%. In contrast to these
figures Mr. Buckley points out
that the College has raised its res-
idence fees only once. This was



in the beginning of 1945-46 and
amounted to an average of $40, or
about 15%.

Economy Program

Sign- out for meals. In order to
conserve food the Undergrad Coun-
cil asks each student to sign out
for the meals from which she in-
tends to be absent. When dinners
are provided for people who do -
not appear it costs the college
money. Three days’ notice will
save ordering food, while 24 hours’
notice will save actual cooking.

Develop a conscience about elec-
tricity. This will save on current,
coal and light bulb bills. Unnec-
essary lights should be turned off
in bedrooms, bathrooms, hall lib-
raries and especially in the smok-
ers. The Council hopes that it will
be unnecessary to introduce a proc-
tor system.

Don’t let tubs overflow. Savings

Lucite Reporters Investigate .
Wildlife in Creeping Fingers

by Emily Townsend ’50

What are “sagebrush knees”?
Apparently a painful and enduring
ailment; it is only one of the many
pertinent problems posed by the
forthcoming Junior Show, Big As
Life. Aside from this mysterious-
ly prevalent disease, and the fam-
ous desperado Black Jack, how-
ever, there seems to be no draw-
backs to life in Creeping Fingers,
California.

The town is equipped with every-
thing necessary for a well-balanced
existence: two excellent saloons,

The Last Draw, and The Golden |

Lily, and a popular concern known
as Dima Dance—20 Girls—20. And
don’t forget, ladies and gentlemen,
the patent-medicine man, who in-
cludes in his bargain a little pic-
ture “that will show you some-
thing you've: always wanted to
see.”

Obviously, Creeping Fingers is
the perfect spot for the Lucite
publications to investigate Amer-



ican private enterprise, and the
Life reporters who are sent to
cover the situation can find few
faults. with the assignment....And
what faults can there be in a town
that boasts the largest bottles and
most sloping bar in all the liquor-
ous West? So “raise the roof on
a hundred proof—the weakest take
it straight.”

A lovely heroine is, of course,
an added attraction to any town,
even if she does come from Perth
Amboy.

“She has both pharmaceutical
and botanical fame,

Gentian Violet is her name.”
And to keep the emphasis where
it belongs, there is a risque lady,
Mellow, who is very mellow in-
deed; the kick chorus girls lift
their shapely limbs on high, and
cry, “Just wait till we put on our
pink tights;’” and all in all, as the
Juniors insist, “It’s a hot spot, and
why not?”, since it’s the show of
49, and all for the benefit of the
Fund.

Use Those Yellow Wastebaskets!

In spite of previous similar campaigns, this fall’s clean-

up program will be intensified and will be incorporated into

a conservation program on the campus. It seems rather odd
that it requires a campaign to make Bryn Mawr students
clean up their campus. We live here for eight months of the
year, yet we give our halls none of the consideration we give
our homes—in which we spend only half as much time. No
one asks the students to go around policing. You are asked
only to be responsible for yourself—not to leave messes in
the smoker, to field-strip your own butts, pick up the news-
papers you have strewn about the floor. Carelessness alone
accounts for the shocking condition of the campus; a little
awareness will easily cure it.

On the other hand, conservation will require a bit more
consciousness. The college cost of living has.gone up; the
cost of residence has not: obviously ends won’t meet. How-

ever, we can help in various ways—and not “little” ways but
real ones. Electricity can be conserved: turn off your lights
when you leave your room; turn off the radio when you go to

‘lunch; turn off the lights if you’re the last one to leave the

smoker at night. Food can be conserved: don’t take that

extra bottle of milk in the morning and leave it to curdle|

outside your window; don’t forget to sign out for meals—
an ounce of prevention. In this year when waste is crimin-
al, conservation should not be a sacrifice but a normal pro-
cedure.

Singing: Improve It Or End It

Friday night’s step singing was a miserable perform-
ance. Half the participants did not know their words—and
appeared generally indifferent. If the rest were aware of
their leaders, they certainly did not show it. Most of the
Song Mistresses were really singing solos. Bryn Mawr’s tra-
ditional Lantern Night could not have closed in a more feeble
fashion. No wonder many visitors left before the end.

This type of college singing has gone on long enough.
Surely a group that is noted for its Chorus and musical shows
can rise to something better. There are relatively few occa-
sions when the four classes join together for events such as
Lantern Night. Both students kasapi should find

Current Events

The implications of the Marshall
Plan for economic reconstruction
were analysed by Miss Mildred
Northrop, Professor of Economics,
speaking at Current Events Mon-
day, October 20. This “four year
report” is as vital to the United
States as to Europe, Miss Northrop
emphasized.

_ At the end of the war the United
States was the only country cap
able of matching her pre-war pro-
duction, she explained. The econ-
omic system on a world-wide ba-
sis; which had until the war made
possible exchange and sale among
all nations, was broken off. “Each
nation has been thrust back inside
its own boundaries”, Miss North-
rop said, and the United States is
the only country now in the posi-
tion to start the ball rolling again.

The basic aim of the Marshall
Plan is to help the countries of
Europe help themselves, Miss
Northrop continued. In order to
bring about “international realign-
ment”, the countries involved have
agreed to work toward three fun-
damental goals. Each seeks to
raise its production, to establish
inflation control in the effort for a
more stable financial system, and
to develop mutual free trade. Fin-
ally, the United States, as well as
Canada and Latin America, must
help to resolve the existing deficit
of the participating countries by
sending them approximately
twenty-two billion dollars’ worth
of raw materials and tools. About
two-thirds of this quota is to be
supplied by the United States and
will be sent during the four years
allotted to the Plan.

Miss Northrop pointed out that
the United States can neither buy
democracy nor. shape political
changes. with such economic aid
to Europe. The Plan gives the
Americas certain privileges, but it
also places responsibilities on them.
Any attenrpt to use the Marshall
Plan to assert American rights in
political affairs, or to control the
use of the money’ invested would
only create bitter feeling.

Warburg Chapel Plan
Backed by Students;
_ Poll Urged
To the Editor:

We think Geraldine Warburg's
suggestion for a less formal, more
strictly spiritual chapel service
was excellent, for all the reasons
she gave. Perhaps ‘Wednesday eve-
ning would be a good time for
speakers to lead an informal dis-
cussion in the Common Room.
The challenge to the Chapel Com-
mittee would be to make the Sun-
day evening service really spirit-
ually satisfying, and the Wednes-
day evening discussions really
worthwhile. We think this is
wholly possible, and that it is the.
most likely solution to the present
problem. We suggest that action
in the form of a poll of student .
support of or oppostion to Ger-
aldine Warburg’s plan be taken..

WBMC Organizes

Radio Programs

The Radio Club of Bryn Mawr,
in conjunction with the one at
Haverford, broadcasts a show each
Thursday evening from 9 to 9:30.
“WIBMC Presents” has featured
light drama so far. It is broadcast
from Haverford and can be heard
only on that campus. However,
the Bryn Mawr station, located in
the Pem East basement, will be
used as soon as enough halls have
switched from DC to AC current.

Anyone interested in radio work,,.
script writing, entertainment, an-
nouncing or dramatics is urged to
contact the Radio Club. There is
work to be done now. Longer and
more varied programs are being
planned for next year, including
campus news, classical and popu-
lar musical recordings, presenta-
tion of plays from the play-writing
class, forums and talent shows.

Present officers of the Radio
Club are: Stage Manager, Frances
Nafe; Production Manager, Sharon
Luley; Head of the Script Depart-
ment, Shirley Wood; Personnel
Director, Barbara Kuhn.

ors into the halls. Smokers, es-
pecially, must be kept clean. Ash
trays are there for a purpose. The
_ hall presidents plan to enforce the

clean-up program.

Outside the halls bright yellow
wastebaskets adorned with the col-
lege seal have been placed at stra-
tegic points. Painted by members
of the Council, they are not there

_ for ornament only.



Scandinavian Trip
Is Contest Prize

Six free trips to the Scandinav-
ian countries in the summer of
1948 with all expenses paid will
be first and second prizes for the
best essays on “The Influence of
Swedish Settlers on a Community
or Region” in a contest sponsored

by the Swedish American Line, G.
H. Lundbeck, Jr., the® managing
director, has announced,

Other awards include three trips
to Swedish Pioneer Centennial Cel-
ebrations planned in the Midwest
next summer while nine awards
will be in the form of U. S. Sav-
ings Bonds.

The contest is open to three
groups, judged separately: 1 Col-
lege undergraduates; 2/High school
and preparatory students; 3 Adults
regardless of occupation. The con-
test closes April 1, 1948. Fourteen
prominent educators and heads of
colleges will serve as judges.

“This is the first time a contest
on this subject has been initiated”
Mr. Lundbeck states, “and we hope
it will bring to light many inter-
esting stories of Swedish immigra-
tion and the influence of Swedish
settlers on American culture.” The
essays, written in English, may
concern a person—man or women
of Swedish descent—anywhere /1
the United States or Canada. While
the subject need not be a person
of national or historical import-
ance, it must be one who has ex-
erted an influence on a community
or region. °

that if you “project yourself more

into the Mexican customs and for-
get who you are, it can be done.”
The Smith group limited them-
selves to “double dates and only on
week-ends,” but this does not seem
to have prevented them from mak-
ing a great many friends.

Bull fights, the typical dances
and music of Mexico, the wonder-
ful people and just life in general
captured the Bryn Mawr seniors
completely. ,Indeed, Ada was “so
mad for the Mexican ambiente”
that she stayed down through the
summer to translate books—“mak-
ing up a new Spanish language,”
she modestly adds.

BM Teams Gain

by Gwynne Williams °50

The Bryn Mawr hockey teams
distinguished themselves by gain-
ring three victories over opposing
teams this week. .On October 15
the first team ‘overpowered Drexel]
6-1, and the second team gained
five goals to Drexel’s two; Octo-
ber 17, the third team defeated Ur-
sinus 4-0.

The first team game was neat
and exciting, for both the forward
line and backfield moved down thé
field in continuous cooperation.
Four of Bryn Mawr’s goals were
made by the center, Sheila Eaton,
who received passes from Betts

As a result of one of the more un-
usual penalties in hockey, the pen-
alty bully between the center and
opposing goalie, Sheila Eaton made
one of the four goals. The other
two goals ,were made by Betts
McClure, who sent a clean, hard
shot from the edge of the circle,
and Betsy Parker, who had just
been substituted from the second
team.

The second team played equally
well for their 5-2 victory, but the

third team displayed a certain
amount of inexperience.
Sunday, Rockefeller defeated

Pembroke 2-1 in the first of the
series of hall games. The high
caliber of the teams may have
been due to the enthusiasm of the
five lone male spectators.

Incidentally

Lantern Night comes and Lan-
tern Night goes, but Bryn Mawr-
ters still don’t know where to put
their cap tassels. The system is
really very simple, proceeding
counter-clockwise. Freshman—left
front; Sophomore—left back; Jun-
ior — right ‘back; Senior — right
front. Upon graduation the tassel
comes back to where it originally
started. Sometimes we wonder if
the four-year struggle is worth it.
