Changes in Voting

Minor Alterations Will Permit
Students to Qualify
For Offices

The Self-Government and Under-
graduate. Associations,. and the
Bryn Mawr League, will hold hall
meetings on Tuesday, February 7;



, to consider amendments to those

parts oftheir several constitutions
which/deal with. various phases of
the lection machinery.

/The three boards have found
these amendments to be advisable

‘after consideration of the results

of past elections. Representatives
of the boards will’ present the
amendments to the students during
the hall meetings at which
voting will also take place.

The changes in the Self-Govern-
ment and Undergraduate constitu-
tions arise chiefly from the desire
to increase the number of students
actually working in those asso-
ciations, and so tq increase the
number in some measure prepared

‘Tart Art Presented
With Capable: Acting
And Unusual Dancing

ne ee

By Rosina Bateson ’47
« Freshmen can take a bow for the
performance of their show, Tart
1 Art. Throughout, the show main-
tained a high standard of produc-
tion, particularly evident in the
singing, and dancing
reminiscent of the style of. Lady in
the Dark. A consiftrable amount

talent and an unusual sense of
unity and. cooperation, combined
with the musical qualities to make
a remarkably excellent show.
Perhaps the reason for its suc-

detail. The scenery was unusual-
ly effective, showing true Fresh-
man ingenuity. A splashing foun-

transformed Goodhart stage into
another Museum of Modern Art.

Patricia Hochschild, who man-
aged the dancing, deserves credit
for some of the best scenes in the
show. The interpretation of the
arrival of the*Freshmen at college
was an amusing and revealing sa-
tire, if a trifle long. Although out-
siders naturally found it hard to
interpret, the dancing as a whole
was not only appropriate but also
played a vital role in the success
of the show.

The interpretive dance in the
second act, while obviously sug-
gestive of the ballet in Oklahoma
with its representation of the main
characters dancing in a dream, was
| highly effective. Particularly ex-

Calhoun Emphasizes
Free} Nature of Man



Music Room, February 19. Inter-
preting the Christian theological
do¢trine that Man is both a natura!
being, subject to the laws of na-
ture, and a free being, Dr. Robert
Calhoun declared in his second lec-
ture on Basic Christian Doctrines
that Man’s very uneasiness -is
proof of his freedom.

Standard_.of Right

The consciousness that he is not
what he ought to be, and,that he
is capable of judging the world on
the basis of certain standards
apart from the desire for the sat-
isfaction of physical needs are
further manifestations of his free-
dom. To understand Man, one

must look beyond him, said Dr.|4

Calhoun, for he is doubly oriented,
toward his environment which he
has the ‘power to mold, andtoward
a standard of right. He shapes
society in terms of. this standard,
ROARS for long range objectives.

Defines Man

‘Enlarging upon the doctrine that
Man is created in the image of
God, Dr. Calhoun ‘described “Man
as dependent, finite, restricted, and

not self-creating, because he, un-

like other natural beirigs is able to
respond to stimuli other than those

of - physical and mechanical com-.
pulsion—he is capable of respond-
ing to.God, the being-in-whom-are

founded the values of truth, justice
and mercy. Man is however cap-
able of complete response which
constitutes a grave danger, he
pointed out. He is capable of de-
struction and so his freedom gives

Man both perilous responsibility

and, limitless promise.

McBride Explains
Role of Individual
In Limiting Travel .

Students Asked to Spend
Vacations in College
If Possible

Goodhart, February 21. Because |
of the ODT request that spring
vacations in. schools and colleges
be cancelled as far as_ possible,
Miss McBride, at a College Assem-
bly, requested that all students re-
examine their week-end and vaca-
tion travel plans. It is the duty of
each student to consider whether
any travelling which she may wish
to undertake is in any. way essen-
tial or necessary.

Although the College feels that
from the standpoint of health some
vacation is necessary, Miss Mc-°
Bride recommends that as many
students as possible should remain
here, while admitting that those
who feel a great need for going
should be permitted to do so. “In
general, the greater the distance
by train the more important it is
that plans be changed,” she said.

It has been considered’ inadvis-
able, said Miss McBride, to elim-
inate the vacation altogether and
move, up the calendar 10. days,
{since many seniors -plan under or-

dinary circumstances to remain in
college and use the vacation as a
reading period. This year enough
halls will be kept open so that
those, students who are willing to
remain here can, and. the college
will bear the extra expense of such
action. » Students are expected to
compensate for thise freedom of
choice in reduced week-end travel.



G. W. Beadle Explains
Chemistry of Genes

Dalton, February 20. “Plants
and animals that are hereditarily
unable to carry on certain neces-
sary life functions, and that would
otherwise. die .unléss artificially
sustained, aré contributing valu-
able data to the study of genetics,”
stated Mr. G. W. Beadle, professor
of biology at Stanford University
in a lecture on Genes and the
Chemistry of. the ‘Organism at a
Sigma Xi meeting.

Mr. Beadle. explained that these
congenital biochemical defects are
often controlled by genes, and
when they are, the subtraction of
iven gene will produce a pre-
dictable change, which will also be
evidenced in the organism’s descen-
dents according to a statistically
predictable pattern.

Experiments ‘with the red bread
mold, Neurospora, said Mr. Beadle,
substantiated the. My pothesis that
genes owe their properties to
unique chemical - configurations,
probably involving proteins, ‘and
that they act through a model-and-
copy mechanism in imy sing these
characteristic configurations on
enzymes and other proteins.

“Since genes and’ enzymes are
themselves made up of component
parts, each of which is synthesized
under-gene control,” explained Mr.
Beadle, “there must, “therefore,
exist a completely integrated hier-
archy of primary, secondary, and
higher order gene controls.”

At*the end of the lecture, Mr.
Beadle illustrated by means of
slides the effect which the lack of
-}ecertain chemicals produces on var-



-lious organisms.

Up to Us

The problem of spring vacation, on which rumor has
‘been elaborating for the last three weeks, has at last been
Officially clarified by Miss McBride’s statement in chapel this
morning. For three weeks students have been leaping to
conclusions, declaring that spring vacation would be com-
pletely abolished, or that the. whole undergraduate body
would in effect be campussed for that ten-day period.

In contrast to these rumors, the college’s decision, as ex-

pressed in Miss McBride’s statement, appears deceptively

lenient. Actually, it is, as she pointed out this morning, a
far more difficult one. The final decision is in the hands of
the individual student, and for the thinking, conscientious
member of the community is a serious one.

This is no dictatorial “campussing;” this is no decision
made without reference to, or consideration of the students’
wishes. It is, rather, an expression both of faith in the judg-
ment of the individual, and an acknowledgement of certain
physical and psychological needs on the part of all involved.

As a result, the responsibility which falls on the indi- |
vidual student is almost uncomfortably great. For over a
year, posters and advertisements have proclaimed. the fact
that the railroads are vital to thé war effort. That fact has
been. so publicized that it almost reached the role of a joke
in the minds of many people. The question of vacation has
however brought the problem closer to home. No thinking
‘student can now fail to realize that the railroads mean what
- they ee

The fact that both the college and the O. D. T. are leav-
ing the decision to our own discretion should mean .a moYe4
careful consideration of. weekend: as well as vacation trips.
It is up to us, now. :

Spring Housecleaning

.Amendments have been proposed by the Self-Govern-
ment, Undergraduate and League Boards to their constitu-
tions in regard to the mechanics of the elections in all three
associations. None of these amendments are startling, and
consequently undergraduates may entirely lose sight of their
importance..

Last year’s amendments to the Self-Government consti-

>.

_— we ¢ : re
( wecens ceeds

Mrs. ‘Manning, speaking about
the Yalta Charter, pointed out
‘that- it differs from the Atlantic
Charter in that it is a practical
document instead of a collection
of principles. Mrs. Manning went
on to say that the realization of
the United Nations of-the import-
ance of working together in the
settlement of the previously occu-



rlipied countries, is most encourag-

ing.

In dealing with Germany, the
charter definitely plans for the
control of Germany by a military
government for a certain period.
Germany will be divided into four
military zones each under the con-
trol of one of ‘the big powers:
Russia, the United States, France,
and Great Britain. However, there
is provision for a High Military
Commission composed of repre-
sentatives..of-.these: nations to co-
ordinate the different military gov-
ernments, and establish a common
policy for all. This post-war gov-
ernment plans to destroy all traces
of Nazism.

Polish Situation

The settlement of Poland is quite
specifically developed in the char-
ter. Although it appears that
Poland is a victory for Russia,
Russia has made some important

concessions:- A+ new provisional
| government is to*be chosen by
Harriman, Kerr, and Molotov,

| which will be composed of repre-

sentatives from the liberated sec-
tions of Poland, the Polish Gov-
erment in exilé in England; and
the now ruling Lublin provisional
government in Russia. These con-
cessions, says Mrs. Manning,«are
more important than the boundary
which Russia has demanded.

This Crimean Conference has
also decided that in the more im-
portant matters of war and peace,

| the vote of the members of the

Security Council, outlined in the
Dumbarton Oaks Conference, must
be unanimous, although in. minor
matters there need*only be a ma-
jority vote,

San Francisco Conference

Another result of this Crimean
Conference is the plan for another
United Nations conference to “be
held at San Francisco in. April.
Although the announced United
States representatives have not yet
been confirmed, they are Hull and
Stettinius, from the: present ad-
“ministration; Miss Gildersleeve,
representing the point of view of
women; and the Republicans, Van-
denberg and Stassen.

Situation in France

The situation: in France, explain-
ed Mrs. Manning, is not so hope-
ful. De Gaulle refused a meeting
with Roosevelt at, Algiers, presum-
ably because he was not invited to
the Crimean Conference. Ail-
though Mrs. Manning feels that
‘De Gaulle is acting foolishly, she
admitted that France has not been
allowed enough shipping to bring
in the much needed food ‘supplies,
and at the moment the French are
feeling resentful at the attitude of
the other powers. Italy is also

Frequent Quizzes Will Make
Work Grammar-Schoolish
Says Student

\ —_—
To the Editor:

The question—‘Would you favor
replacing mid-semester examina-
tions with more frequent quizzes ?”
—on the recent Rescheduling

Questionnaire seemed indeed shock-

ing to me. This goes too far in the
way of “Organizing;” this part of
the issue is much more disturbing
than the other questions, for the
latter are at least more’ applicable
to the necessary organization of
the College schedule. But if we
begin to standardize this side of
the academic program, it is not
hard to anticipate an “educational
machine,” and that seems frighten-
ing. I feel that College students
should be ‘beyond such mechanical

-grammar school habits as a con-

stant control of the work. The
material of many courses does not
lend itself well to frequent quiz-
zes; this is especially true of lit-
erature courses in which the poss-
ible over-emphasis of supplement-
ary details should be eliminated in
any case. (This does: not\mean
that we should care merely about
general trends and general meant
ings, but that we ought to be able
to presuppose and take for grant-
ed our familarization with definite
subject matter before examining
the material in a larger sense).

But we have to consider all the
courses. Many of us will then
think of those science courses
which. include ‘an appreciable
amount ‘of memory work, and
therefore present a more justified
need for frequent quizzes. But
this cannot allow us to make a
general rule for all courses.

In order to take care of the var-
ious sides of such a problem, flex-
ibility has to be left for the indi-
vidual members of the faculty. The
question of quizzes should be no
longer subject to mechanical and
possibly arbitrary rulings. Each

with his particular class) is the
only person to judge the need of
quizzes. -

If the above question was shock-
ing, the answer as presented by
the last News is perhaps more
shocking. We are now confronted
with the revelation by too large a
number of students who, by their
reaction, imply that they are un-
able to leave behind a certain kind
of “automatic” studying, and who
thus really admit that College
work has to be done by them in
the same way as the most elemen-
tary and compulsory work. It is

Students Ask Recognition
For Modern Dancing
On Campus

to the Editor: Hd
Considering the favorable re-
sponse to the dance numbers jin the
i'reshman Show, we teel that mod-
ern dancing should be encouraged
on the campus. “Lhe Physical kdu-
cation Department at Bryn Mawe
has’ frowned upon the modern
dance while Smith, Vassar, and-
Cornell have carried on supervised
programs which have been en-
thusiastically received by the stud-
ents. We would like to see mod-
ern dance emphasized as much as
the other sports in this college.

During only two weeks of re-

hearsals, the dancers in the show
developed great coordination, grace
and imagination in their move-
ments; ~ Most of them had no pre-
vious training, but thanks to their
enthusiasm and hard work, they
gave a polished performance. If
such great strides could be made
in a handful of rehearsals, think
what could be accomplished in ‘a
well organized dance program held
three hours a week throughout the
year. :
At the present time there is only
one two-hour class a week. in
Wyndam. This is an advanced
class. There is no class for be-
ginners who have not had the basic
training necessary for modern
dancing. We think there should
be at least two classes for begin-
ners as well as the one advanced
class. They should be fitted into
the regular physical education
schedule and given the full cooper-
ation of the gym department. .

especially sad.to hear that so many
Seniors had to come to such an un-
fortunate conclusion. If it is true
that that many students feel this
inadequate preparation, the “bit-
er” truth to face is an individual
improvement of studying habits—
(I do not exclude myself). And if
general “action” is still. desired
along with the usual urge for op-
position, it should be realized that
such a move has to be applied to
individual cases, that, in this re-
spect, there should be no general-
ized rule, a rule which is somewhat
degrading in form as well as in
character—to the students as well
as the faculty—(and one which, by
the way, would doubtless ‘result in

‘an anti-quiz-movement in the near

future).

Religious Faith Proclaimed
_ As Imaginative Need —
In Frank’s Book



Specially contributed by
Rosamond Kent 745

The publication of Dr. Erich
Frank’s new book, Philosophical
Understanding and Religious Truth
is an important literary event. The
Flexner Lectures of 1943 were the
eccasion of the first presentation
of the material which now appears
in print. The lectures have, how-
ever, been’ greatly -enriched —and
elabdrated by notes of an unusual-
ly illuminating character. Although
Plato, Augustine, Kant, and Hegel
are perhaps the sources to whom
Dr. Frank is most indebted, the
documentary evidence given in the
notes shows that not only is he
possessed of a comprehensive com-
mand of philosophical’ tendencies
from Thales to the present, but he
is also well versed in the problems
peculiar to theology, history, and
psychology. Far from being bur-
dened by the weight of his schol-
arship, Dr. Frank manages to treat
an essentially philosophical subject
in a manner extraordinarily free
from technical jargon.

In these lectures, Dr. Frank
faces honestly the limitations
which fear of death, moral falla-
bility, and historical circumstance
impose upon man, but he also
shows us that in man’s realization
of these limitations lies his very
strength. Only when man becomes
truly cognizant of the fact that he
is dependent upon an _ absolute
principle outside himself will he
attain the true existence toward
which he is continually striving.
For this ereative freedom, as Dr.
Frank calls it, religious faith is
necessary. Creation itself is a
product of the religious imagina-
tion. The making of something
out of nothing is an event which
belongs to the realm of the spirit,
not to that of history. Dr. Frank
illustrates this point with force
and brilliance in his comparison of
Caesar and Christ in Chapter V.
To interpret the religious ideas of
Christianity by historical or psy-
chological means is to destroy their
essence. “The Christian Kingdom
is not of this world, it belongs to
the realm of the spirit. In this
world it is always Caesar who is
bound tp be victorious, ~while
Christ will be forever crucified.
‘Whoever will follow him... must
take up his cross.”

This is a hopeful book and a
courageous one. While confronted
with a-world in which “modern
man is neither willing. nor able to
believe,” Dr. Frank has taken the
leap advocated by Pascal and Kier-
kegaard and dared to give us a
reaffirmation of religious faith. The
philosopher must overlook the ac-
cidental connotations of religious
ideas and aim at an understanding
of their true essence. This he can
only accomplish by believing in
God’s belief in us and not in man’s
sovereignty alone.

IN PRIN¥F Vocations Undergrad, Self-Gov’t |Calhoun Emphasizes ‘Jaffe Explains Need

For Democratization
Of Economy in China

Goodhart, February. 14... ‘“Who-
ever understands China holds the
key to world peace in the next five
centuries,” declared _Mr. Philip
Jaffe, in a ‘War Alliance Assembly
discussion of The Facts on China.
‘Mr. Jaffe feels, however, that the
ability of China to assume her
proper position in” the post-war
world will depend upon a thorough
reorganization of her internal po-
litical and economic structure.

China, said Mr. Jaffe, is at the
point where the old forces of agrar-
ianism are struggling to maintain
their hold on the government in
the face of a modern challenge of
democratic industrialism. The
Chiang Kai-shek, government has
helped ‘the landlords maintain
their power and has in fact more
firmly established this oligarchic
control of the government, and the
economy. The loss of the coastal
cities in the Japanese invasion
was a serious blow to the demo-
cratic forces in China, for until the
war most’ of China’s industry had
been concentrated in this area.

-Capitalismr

The problem of China’s commun-
ists is an essential part of this
economic conflict, (Mr. Jaffe feels.
The communists, declared Mr.
Jaffe, are not communists at all,
but the leaders of a partially in-
dustrialized area in the north of
China, who have admitted that
China’s real need is for capitalism,
not communism, to build up-a mod-
ern industrial system. These so-
called communists are the leaders
of one of China’s most democratic
groups and are feared by the land-
lords of the Chungking government
An-
other opposition party has grown
up from the Separatist movement,
which seeks.a democratization of
the Chinese government and econ-

omy. Mr. Jaffe feels that this

‘T movement holds out the best-hope~—

for a democratic future for China.

important position in the post-war
world, Mr. Jaffe feels. She will be

The efforts of the persevering
Sophomore who. spent . Friday
night under Ada Klein’s bed al-
most bore fruit. On. Saturday
morning she reported that “it”
was cute but dirty and was prob-
ably being kept in. Park Hall.
Plenty of time was. being
to bring “it” to Goodhart where a.

ramp would be provided for access
to the stage. One clue was mis-
leading, for apparently the sen-
tence, “The person who carries it
in will have to wear old clothes,”
was an incorrect version of “The
person whom it carries will have
to wear old clothes.” (Were Fresh-
men ever that grammatical?).
Sophomores descended in hordes
to Park and vicinity.. In their
search of the basement: they even
braved a room designated as con-
taining Poison Gas, but the locked
door of. the burro’s sound-proof
sanctuary: remained undisturbed.
From.the amassed facts, how-
ever, the following conclusions
were drawn: a goat? a unicorn
(pony with a horn tied to his
head)? a Sicilian donkey? Then
the more imaginative of the Soph-
omores returned to the fore: ““What
about a pepguin?” It fitted every
known desaription of the animal.
At severi-twenty on Saturday eve-
ning, a Sophomore pesing as a
Rosemont girl called the Philadel-
phia Zoo. She was raving about
the penguin in the Bryn Mawr
show and wanted to have one for

“Rosemont next week. The Zoo was

uncommunicative—it could not say
until morning. This, subsequently
proving-to~be~but-a routine, delay,
was seized upon by the Sophomores
as a sign that the Zoo was in lea-
gue with the Freshmen. The pen-
guin song.was written and sung.at
the end of the show, only to be cut
short by “Widget’s” appearance on
stage. ;

One Sophomore had idly :won-
dered whether the Freshmen had
shanghaied a Sophomore to be the
animal. “It would have amounted
to the same thing!” exclaimed a
disrespectful member of the class
of 748,

The surprising grace and_-tech-
nique-of.the dancers, the balance of
the whole, and the’ingenuity of the
choregraphers made both dance se-
quences the high points of the

show.

Outstanding among the individ- bh

ual performances was Betty Smith’s
rendition of “Study in Blue.” - She
managed to combine the ability of
a Dinah Shore and the stage pres-
ence. of a true veteran. Sandol
Stoddard, Bernice Robinson, and
Jane Coddington succeeded in: giv-
ing finished performances in, the
three main roles. The contrast be-
tween Bernice Robinson as artis-
tic Sylvester and Sandol Stoddard,
the “rough and ready” Marine, was
heightened by the actors’ sympa-
thetic interpretation of the parts:

Although no one minor role was
particularly outstanding, taken as
a whole, they fulfilled the purpose
of covering up a rather flimsy
plot. Jessica Levy’s humorous in-
terpretation of Stromboli “from
Russia” was marred only by the
indistinctness of her diction, which
was, however, compensated for by
her stage’ personality.

man sold posters in the role of

ed with fiendish delight at her

Tart Art, it is hard to select‘the

Freshmen's ability. The director, |

Ada Klein, succeeded in making
the most of excellent potentiali-
ties.

.Penn’s record-breaking swim-|
mer, Judy Auritt, won two speed
events, the 40-yard breast stroke

and the 40-yard ‘back crawl. ‘Chichi

the former event, and Ty Walker

In the form events, however, the
Owls came out ahead, with Betsy

side stroke for form. Eunice Shay
of Penn and Liz Willard ’47 tied
for first place in the breast stroke
