Role of Machine
In Modern Art
Shown by Barr

The inteatne of the machine
-as the center of a significant ar-
tistic development during the dec-
-ades 1910-1935 was explained and
illustrated by Mr. Alfred J. Barr,
.Jr., in the first of the Flexner lec-
tures on “Dogma and Practice in
Modern Art.”

Initiated by the Futurists, of
“whom Marinetti was the spokesman
in his “Futurist Manifesto,” the



movement emphasized the dyna-4

mism and power of geometric rela-
tionships in the machine. Progress-
ing from the locomotive through
the automobile to the airplane, the
Futrists illustrated their point of
view in mechanistic expressions.
The industrial backwardness of
Italy, explained Mr. Barr, lent
practical emphasis to the Futurist

B. M. Attends
Vassar Forum.

On | Near East

Commencing with the “tagged
girl under the Welcome Home
sign” in the [Poughkeepsie station,
the Vassar Political Association
played host to delegates from
Smith, Mount Holyoke, Welle
Princeton, Harvard, Barnard, and
Bryn Mawr at the intercollegiate
conference on the Far East.

The conference was composed
chiefly of three speeches and two
student forums. Professor Nathan-
jel Peffer opened the conference
with a discussion of American pol-
icy in the Far East, emphasizing
the inevitability of power poli-
tics in an area under the control
of the present Chinese government.

General Victor Yakhontoff and
Dr. David J. Dallin presented pro-
Russian and anti-Russian inter-
pretations of Russia’s Far East
policy. General Yakhontoff stress-
ed the social value of the defeat of
fascistic. capitalism, Dr, Dallin the
growth of Russian imperialism.
The student forums dealt with im-
perialism and democracy in the
Far East.

The omnipresence of Life, repre-
sented by a tall, attractive girl in
a red suit who took down names,
dlleges and majors, and a flash
bulb artist just back from China
created several furors. However
even Life was forgotten in the ex-
citement of heated debates, in
which pro- and anti-susceptibilities
played a prominent part. Only af-
ter the application of a little
“feminine tact” by one of the dele-
gates were General Yakhontoff
and Dr. Dallin persuaded to apol-
ogize for a violent exchange of
personal slurs.

Emily Evarts, Infirm Biologist
Is First LAacicriddebdiencricain Editor



hay Evarts, . recently-elected
editor of the News describes her-
self as an inhabitant of the in-
firmary and the biology labs. She
has been having what the infirm-
ary calls “respiratory infections”,
ranging from ’flu to mononucleosis
since early freshman year. Told
of her election, she dug madly in
the pockets of her grey flannel
jacket to produce a small vial of
Unicap vitamins. I won’t have
time to be sick amy more,” she
gasped swallowing them madly.

+ =To the” editorship, Emily brings
ample experience, exceeded only
by the size of her Kleenex bill.
This coming editorship is rapidly
turning into a sfster act—Nancy
Evarts ’43 was also editor of the
News.

As one of the first Bio majors,
ever to venture into the News,
Emily hastens to explain that she
des not intend to bring “the cold
dissecting scientific light” of the
lab to her work, but only “the uh
smell”, “After all,” she explains,
“I’m only taking Bi to find out
what.other illnesses I can still get”.

Terming herself a hypochondriac
she explains that she had “a jolly
time” in the infirmary for the first
two years but that much as_ she

(Mr. Alexander Soper, newly re-
turned from Japan in an official ca-
pacity, wil present a fresh and em-
phatically timely description of the
defeated Japanese in their home-
land, when he lectures pon his
“Impressions of. Occupied Japan”,
February 19, in Goodhart.

Mr. Soper is a Major in the
United States Marine Corps Re-
serve, and was until recently ab-
sent from the college on war serv-
ice. He went to Japan in Septem-
ber, 1945, as officer-in-charge of
the Japanese language section of

Tea To Explain



H. S. Labor School

(Celebrating the twenty-fifth an-
niversary of the Hudson Shore La-
bor School, the Bryn Mawr League
will hold a tea to publicize the na-
ture of the organization on Thurs-
day, February 14, in the Deanery.

Bryn Mawr has always given
financial assistance to the school.
One maid has attended the school
each year, and Bryn Mawr stud-
ents have helped operate the in-
stitution.

Miss Hilda Smith, former ‘dean
of Bryn Mawr and first director of
the Hudson Shore Labor School,

loves their room No. 9 she_ gets
lonesome for the teeming activity
of Dalton and Pembroke, Her last
seige beginning with grippe before
Christmas proceeding to grippe
during Christmas ended in a mys-
terious disease known as. monou-
cleosis after Christmas. She in-
formed us she was warned that
mononucleosis. “is usually folowed
by a severe lassitude”—and gulped
some more Unicaps.

Emily’s academic career can best
be termed unsettled. Originally a
history major, she has passed hap-
pily through English and Latin
phases to stop in Biology only she
says “because time has passed and
they seem to want me to stay put.”

Her News career has however
proceeded along a straight line
from joining the staff in the spring
of ’44 to make-up editor last year,
through her first cigarette (taken
in self-defense on November 9,
1945) to the editorship.

The Quartet, an artistic endeav-
our unaccountably overlooked by
Arts Nights, represents a whole
new theory of art personally origi-
nated by Emily. “You sing what
you want” she summarizes, “and
every one else sings what they
want at the same time. It’s nice if
you agree on the words or the time
to stop but after all self-expression
is the thing”.

Inspired by the sounds of the
Chorus which pervade the News
room every Tuesday night, the
Quartet began with “See The
Gypsy Munching Cheese” and ad-
vanced to original compositions
such as “Sartor Resartus” (repeat-
ed ad dirgum).

Aside from encouraging all bud-
ding young journalistic coloraturas
Emily intends to work out a sys-
tem to get News people home ear-
lier, to campaign for more creative
art on campus and put. a_ little
more life into the News.

If this interview is a little con-
fused we beg to explain that it
was conducted in a .mad_ rush
through a number of rooms in
Goodhart as we chased Emily
around among the Modern Art and
Mr. Barr’s coat. We only caught
her when Emily had finally and
irretrievably run out of vitamins.

Firemen’s Ladder Turns to Ice

As Fire Attacks Bettws-Y- Coed





McBride Notes
Effects Of War

Qn Universities



Opening the second semester

with a brief resume of the return-
ing members and new appointments
to the faculty, Miss McBride dis-
cussed the effect of the war, on
colleges and universities in gen-

eral.

“This is the beginning of the
second term in-the peace,” she said,
“and yet the colleges have hardly
had time to notice that the war is
over; sO many new problems pre-
sent_ themselves.”

Emphasis~has been placed on the
revision of curriculum and on the
reconsideration of former concep-
tions and ideals of education. But,
Miss McBride pointed out that ac-
tually very few changes and exper-
iments have been made, and that
most of the new work furthered by
the various college reports has con-
sisted instead of a reaffirmation of
the liberal arts and sciences.

“The dilemma is essentially
this: greatly expanded knowledge
with, as a consequence, the tenden-
cy to specialization , through the
sheer weight of the material, and
yet the increasing importance too
of the relationships between fields
and of an educated judgment
which is as unrelated to the strict
academic fields as are the critical
problems with which the educated
man must deed”



Origin Not Not Determined
Damage Estimated

At $25,000

$25,000 damage, without loss of
life, resulted from the fire which
ravaged Bettws-Y-Coed on January

27, putting three of the fifty fire- .

men in the hospital.

Two oil tanks, installed the night
before, miraculously did not ex-
plode. The oil, stored for recon-
version of the house from a coal
heater to a furnace, was thought
to be the cause of the blaze at the
time, but the tanks were found in-
tact.

Origin of the fire is still unde-
termined. The Fire Marshal be-
lieves it to have started in a stor-
age room in the basement. The
flames were fed by illuminating
gas escaping from a leaking inlet.

No fire alarm system existed in
the building, many of the inhabi-
tants were still in bed when the
fire was discovered at 9 a. m. Ac-
tually the fire department in Ard-
more knew about the blaze twenty
minutes before Mr. and Mrs. James
Sutton, who lived on the first floor
of the building.

Fifty firemen from the Bryn
Mawr, Ardmore, and Narberth de-
partments fought the fire for-over
three hours in weather so cold that
ice formed on ladders only three
feet from the flames.

_ The entire east wing of the build-
ing was gutted. Staircases and ex-
its were soon completely blocked
by the dense smoke, forcing many
occupants to climb out the window.

(Miss Mary Pierce, who discover-
ed the fire, said she first heard a
thudding noise, then smoke billow-
ed into her third floor apartment.
“Tt all happened so quickly that. it
seemed that the whole place was
on fire in a few minutes,” she said.

Bettwys-Y-Coed, an apartment
building owned by Henry Hill Col-
lins, housed members of the col-
lege faculty and staff, Shipley per-
sonnel, and alumnae of the college.
Several of the occupants were
away at the time, and all those
theer escaped safely.

Students from the college and |

from Shipley helped remove per-
sonal effects and furniture. Rock
girls served coffee to the scantily-
clad refugees, until the Second
Alarmers’ Association Canteen ar-
rived. Miss Gertrude Ely gave
most of the victims a temporary
place to stay.



Wiebenson Chosen as Dream Girl
Of Sailors by U. S. S. Crittenden



by Barbara Bettman "49

No longer is Bryn Mawr solely

the habitat of young girl geniuses |,

who win countless prizes in the
academic field. All unbeknownst
to itself, the Bryn Mawr campus
now houses a Sailor’s Dream Girl,
And may we say—or is it cruel ?—
that all sailors’ dreams are Petty
dreams.

For Miss Georgiana Wiebenson,
46, Merion Hall Senior, has been
chosen the “Sailors’ Dream” or
“the best reason why we want 34
points” by the men of the N divi-
sion of the USS Crittenden, some*
where in the Pacific.
~ Georgie’s picture was. in her
brother’s room on board the ship,
when one of the men noticed it,

and, having no entry of his own

a ~— - —_— ——_—_—_—-y



for the contest entered Lt. Wieben-
son’s blonde sister instead. Daniel
V. Hanke’s letter to Georgie tells
the story.

“To and behold my entry won
and you have. now become .our
Sailors Dream witli makes me

proud and happy at being sucha ~-

good judge of er ah shall we say
character and should also please
you which I may add we all hope.”
On being asked ‘how it feels to
be an S. D., Georgie answered
“Twas a revelation.” - 1
..The College News: ‘is Sed of
Bryn Mawr’s own Sailors‘ Dream
and wish only to remind Miss Wie-
benson that all ships come home
again—and this particular one

comes into port at the end of this

month.

New “News”

There is an old joke about the contortions of the editor
of the News, who has her hand on the pulse of the campus,
ere ear to the ground, her nose in her books, her head on her

pillow, and her eyes fixed firmly on the future. Figurative
as it is, the description is an accurate account of the ideal ed-
itor of the ideal college paper.

We have never yet achieved

such a status, but we firmly believe that throughout its
thirty-two years of growth, the News has approached ever
nearer to performing its proper function on campus.

As a miror of opinion and interest, the News is necessar-
ily conditioned by the activity, or lack of it on campus, In
these past year we have endeavored to)gve full coverage to

the myriad phases of Bryn Mawr’s

work and peace work

in addition to the normal intramural program . As a news-
paper per se, it must act in some degree as a liaison between
the college and the outside world, if only through “Current
Events,” and the new monthly column on UNO activities.
Finally, in its editorial sphere, the News must support cer-
tain issues, crusade for needed reforms, and prepare the

ground for future changes.

lenging the present oral system, asking for rescheduling of
academic work, emphasizing the need for war work and. fe

1945-46 found the News, chal-

work, and heartily encouraging every new increase in creat-

ive activity.

Though tradition naturally governs much of the News,
such a tradition only emphasizes the need for the change
which invariably occurs, in some degree, with the advent of a
new editor, and a new board and staff. A new News appears
each February, and the freshness of outlook, the redirection
of interest, insures the value of the paper itself.

It is not for us, the departing, to attempt to tell the in-
coming editors how to run their paper. But we feel justified,
in speaking from our own experience, in pointing out several
deficiencies in the News which, while not affecting our ACP

honor rating, do affect our far

more important campus rating.

First, the News must secure the verbal support of the

student body by encouraging

the submission of Opinion let-

Oe _ters. .Without such a concrete expression of the feeling, the

paper is isolated, and confined

to the gripes and desires of the

few working on it. Second, the News should, we think, strike
the difficult medium whereby both outside and inside news is

given proportionate coverage.

Third, the News must advance

further along the line which leads to complete campus popu-

larity, with the introduction
more features.

of even more humor, and far

In handing the News over to Miss Evarts and her board:
we have no fears but that our advice will not only be heeded, |
~—~but unneeded. It is with great pleasure that we look forward
to reading the paper for the rest of the coming year. ~

Current Events



Summariizng a month of UNO
activity, Miss McKown emphasized
that it is too soon to pass judgment
on the achievements of the organi-
She noted that the public
is of two minds, one group assert-
ing that the fruitlessness of the
discussions proves the UNO rela-
ineffective, while another
faction declares that the heated
arguments are a proof of healthy
international concern. —~

The most interesting develop-
ment se far, Miss McKown feels,
is the interpretation which has
been put upon the veto power.
Theugh originally intended as a
means of self-protection, by tacit
understanding of the Big Three, in
the case of Greece, Russia threat-
ened use of the veto power to pre-
vent any conclusive declaration of
UNO policy. A similar instance,
though based on more reasonable
arguments, was the Russian rejec-
tion of the Canadian delegate pro-
posed for Secretary-General.

(Miss MeKown also stressed the
fact that the principal actions have
been taken by the Security Coun-
cil and not by the Assembly. The
latter body’s chief act, outside pro-
cedural problems, has ben to reg-
ister an almost unanimous con-

nation of the Franco regime.
The Council, on the other hand, has
had to cope with the Greek, Iran-
ian, Indonesian, and, most recent-
ly, the: Syrian-Lebanese problems.

If the glasy eyes and shaking
heads of spectators at the modern
art exhibition (in the Common
Room Monday evening are any
clue to the students’ appreciation
of these works, we say that Mr.
Barr’s arrival was a sheer neces-
sity and his exhibit a godsend.

This group of paintings furnishes
a bird’s eye view of the art of the
last three decades. With the assist-
ance of Dr. Dimitris Tselos of the
art department, Mr. Barr has suc-
ceeded in bringing together a col-
lection which represents the art
of many countries, including Italy,
France, Spain, Germany, Mexico
and the United States, as well as
such diverse schools as the futur-
istic, expresionistic and surrealis-
tic. Severini’s Armored Train, Pi-
casso’s Horses’s Head from his
Guernica mural, and Schlemmer’s
Bauhaus Stairway are perhaps the
most famous works in the exhibi-
tion.

If the meaning of. Mondrian’s
Composition with Blue and Yellow, |
Arp’s Configuration, Graves’ Bird
Singing in the Moonlight, and
Kandinsky’s Improvisation is not
clear. to the inexperienced specta-
tor, after Mr. Barr’s six lectures
they will acquire a new import,

Certainly his first lecture. fur-
thered our appreciation of the
clean lines and architectural sim-
plicity of Schlemmer’s Bauhaus
Stairway, of the power of Sever-
ini’s Armored Train and of the
eeriness and pathos of which these
talks afford, Hopper’s House by
the Railroad, Siqueiros’
graphy and Rouault’s The Funeral
are impressive in their tranquility
and strength. The exhibition is a
forceful expression of our century,
and as such should be understood
as well as enjoyed.

A list of those to whom we are
indebted for these paintings will
be printed next week.

Sailors Ask *“‘Lowdown’”’
On College Style
Situation

Dear Madam;

First, a bit by way of explana-.
tion:

The purpose—the obvious pur-
pose of this ship’s publication is.
to disseminate information, news,.
and entertainment for the men of:
this ship, the men of other navalk
vessels in the immediate area, and
for their people at home. The
ways of the ship’s publication
board are necessarily and admit-
tedly unique.

Ever aware of the attitude among
the men of the services, and ever
aware of our duty as a press rep-
resentative of the men here, we
earnestly ‘submit to you—our girls,.
a problem which recently, has caused
much more indignation and dissent.
than amusement.

A letter addressed to the editor-
ial staff of the Cebu’s news-sheet.
enclosed a sketch of a girl in
blue jeans. The letter, written by
a young lady of one of E the more
prominent junior colleges of the
eastern states, described at some-
length the changes which she
claims have taken place in the
fashions and dressing habits of the
girls of America.

Says she, “Your girls are dress-..
ing informally these days... in-
venting new costumes which more:
and more resemble the G. I. fa-
tigues, sailors’ dungarees, and so.
forth.”

So, that’s the question. Are
American girls really going Asia-
tic? We sincerely truth that you.
will reassure us on the matter, and
give us.the “lowdown”, so to speak..
Perhaps you can see the reason for
the resentment of these men.. ..
perhaps you can feel as we do—
that such a thing cannot be.

Please enlighten us. Please tell
us just what you girls are wearing
these days. It would be an invalu-.
able aid to us if you would send on,
together with your statement,.
sketches or photographs relative
to the matter so that all may be:
enlightened through the orgaan of
our press.

Sincerely,
Wim. D. MacDonald,

enced Italian opinion in favor of
etering the war with the Allies.
The glorification of mechanical
warfare became an integral part of
this philosophy.

In the 1920’s Russia began to
feel the need for an art to express
the spirit of its industrialization
program. Hampered by the short-
age of materials, Futurism was de-
veloped into the constructive move-
ment, having its flowering in the
theatre. .

In France and Germany the

ovement acquired several enthus-
iastic supporters, notably Leger,
who emphasized the beauty of geo-
metric symbols absolute color.
The purists, dogmatic in their wor-
Ship of the machine, developed ra-
tional architecture.

The United States and Great

come to buy the paper, instead of
just to borow nickles and the tele-

nice juicy scoop. “Is George

Let’s get back to work here.

Supposed to be putting out. a.
newspaper. No wonder it takes till
two A. M. Now, a shorter word for
‘short’. How much does this head
count anyway? And there comes
another stranger. Too snazzy for
an alumna. Probably more dinner
party looking for the Beanery. And
there goes the phone. And where’d
I put my pencil. And it’s almost
time for the soda fountain. Maybe
instead of a shorter word for
‘Short’, I could find a shorter word
for ‘information’. Information, in-
formation. That’s us and no kid-
aging. That’a it: I've got it...

... to be concluded

If you'll be glad when Long Distance delays

are ended... imagine our delight. .

We've hated to ask you to wait, as necessary

las it has been. And delays still occur on some

crowded lines, particularly to the South and
Far West.

But dawn is breaking. Soon we'll have the
facilities to take care of the increased demand
/

for Long Distance service. We're glad to be

able to tell you this.
