Bars Entrance
Of Communism

Materialism and Atheism
Completely Alien
To Pakistan

by Barbara Fischer, ’55

“There is no danger of Commun-
ism arising in Pakistan, because
the people have a political, intel-
lectual, and religious creed of their
own,” declared Mr. Mohammed Aii,
Ambassador to the United States
from Pakistan, in a press confer-
ence October 11.

Mr. Ali continued by stating
that the concepts of Communism
are those of materialism and athe-
ism, two ideas which are complete-
ly alien to Pakistan. The religious
force is the motivation in the coun-.

eliminates the chance of Commun-i
ism. This-is-true-even though, Mr.
Ali reminded his audience, West
Pakistan is a mere twelve miles:
from the Tron Curtain border.

Mr. Ali stressed the great need
for awareness in the coming elec-
tion. “The leadership of the free:
world is with the U. S.; the Unit-
ed States is responsible for both
itself and the world; therefore,
each individual voter should feel.
this responsibility himself.” The;
free world may consider itself safe
with either candidate, for Mr. Ali

ality of ‘both Eisenhower and
Stevenson.

Personalities Shine
In ‘54’s Production,
“Opening Soon” “
by Marcia Joseph, °55

The action of 1954’s original
musical comedy, “Opening Soon,”

centers in a New York boarding

house, which is occupied’ by

various normal, slightly eccentric,
and completely mad theatre people
of various sizes, descriptions, and
roles in both life and on the stage.

In spite of their theatricality,
these characters would be, al-
though a little startling, happily
recognizable by anyone in the au-
dience who should, by chance,
come in contact with them.

A few of these residents include
Gladys, the once great and glori-
ous singer, now battered by time
and fewer jobs, portrayed by Mari-
lyn Muir; Avery, the fanatic
drama student, played by Patsy
Price; Jane, the composer of un-
sung songs—Ann Shocket, Stacy,
the author of unread stories —
#leanor Fry, and B. J., the direc-
tor of unproduced plays—Ann Mc-
Gregor; Anne, whose love conflict
constitutes a major sub-plot of the
play, featuring Judy Thompson;

the aloof and worldly-wise Paula,
Val,

inherent in the many situations,
portrayed by Gwen Davis; and

Weatherford Speaks About Pakistan

by Barbara Drysdale, "55

“Bryn Mawr’s donation to the
World Student Service’ Fund pro-
vided bathroom fixtures for the
girls’ dormitory at the University
of Dacca”, mentioned Professor
Willis Weatherford of Swarthmore
at the opening presentation of the
Pakistan weekend sponsored
jointly by the Alliance and the In-
ternational Relations Club. Speak-
ing in Skinner Workshop at 8:30
on Thursday, he informed his au-
dience of the history and present
use of this fund which binds to-
gether students from all parts of
the world.

Starting as a war emergency
measure providing medicine and
food for relief, the contributions
now help build stronger cultural
bonds, as money from the United

States goes all over the world to



needy educational institutions.

Three quarters of the donations
go for material relief abroad, the
rest for promotion and publicity.
Of this relief, forty percent is
spent in Europe and sixty percent
in Southeast Asia— notably for
projects in Pakistan.

In West Pakistan—four-fifths of
of the total area where not quite
half the people live—the fund is
aiding three universities by giving
each $750 for books and the same
amount for health facilities. At
the University of Dacca—cit7 of
40,000 mosques — even additional
help is contemplated if this year’s
contributions exceed the usual’
amount.

The WSSF is just starting in
Pakistan, concluded Mr. Weather-
ford, and what happens is up to us
in finding the most fruitful sorts
of cooperation. .

Poems, Art, and Religion Discussed

At Pakistan Tea in Common Room

by Pat Preston, °55

To close the activities of the
Pakistan weekend, a tea and in-
formal discussion group was held
in the Common Room, Saturday
afternoon. The Pakistan ambas-
sador, Mohammed Ali, and his
wife; Mr. Salman Ahmad Ali,
press attache, and his wife; Mrs.
Syed Ghulam Kaligq, wife of the
educational attache; Mr. Mahmood
Shafgqat, First Secretary of the

Display in Library
Shows Tapestries

by Beth Davis, ’i4

Anyone who visited the Quita
Woodward Room Thursday, Fri-
day, or Saturday of last week en-
joyed the rare treat of seeing some
of the cottage art of Pakistan.
Spread out over the tables and
chairs, the exhibit transformed the
room with the warm, bright colors
of the materials and the shine of
the copper vases, bowl, and platter.

The exhibit included several
tapestries, one of red cloth em-
broidered with small mirrors, an-
other of a brown, yellow, and
green patchwork, as well as a light
gauzy green and silver sari. The
jewelry was heavy with necklaces
made of many links of silver
hitched together. Filigree played
a large part in a very ornate
jangly candlestick as well as a
heavy incense burner. The _in-
cense burner was also reproduced
on a smaller scale in ivory, and
there were several boxes inlaid
with ivory design on the top.

Anyone who jis interested in
finding out more about the fascin-
ating and beautiful cottage art of
Pakistan can write to the Consu-
late General of Pakistan in New
York.

matters which the students wishe
to raise.

Mr. Amjad Ali obligingly reci
ed several representative Persia
and Urdu poems. Most of the
poems were concerned with the
mystic interpretation of life and
God. However, Mr. Ali includ-
ed one Persian poem by the grand-
son of the builder of the Taj
Mahal, which showed the tendency
of the Moors to do everything in
a big way, even down to wanting
a “river of wine” to drink, not just
a cup or goblet.

A variety of questions ranging
from the habits of the students in
Pakistan to the politics and cli-
mate of the country were asked of
all the members of the group. The
ambassador was questioned most-
ly about the religion of his people
and gave a very interesting and
clear comparison of the beliefs and

The effects of international re-

now as never before, declared Mr.
Mohammed Ali, the Pakistan am-
bassador to the United States. Mr.
Ali spoke on the subject, “Five
Years of Pakistan” in Goodhart
Friday, October 10, at the high-
light event of the Alliance-spon-

sored Pakistan weekend.

Mr. Ali stated that he was very
pleased to find in the United States

ible about foreign countries”, Yet,

hat litthe is known here about
Pakistan, since Pakistan is such a

The “why and wherefore” of
Pakistan, said Mr. Ali, is often dif-
ficult for Americans to wunder-
stand. This is because the Unit-
ed States has as its basis a “com-
posite nationality’—a unity of all
sorts of people. Therefore, many
Americans are unable to under-
stand why Pakistan should be sep-
arated from India. India has nev-

Weigand Lectures
About Hauptmann

A lecture on “Gerhart Haupt-
mann’s Career as Writer of
Drama”, given by Dr. Hermann J.
Weigand, professor of German lit-
erature at Yale Universiay, will
be held in the Deanery Thursday,
October 16 at 8:30 p. m. It will
be the first in a series of lectures

in honor of Professor Max Diez
who retired last year and will be
given in English.

Gerhart Hauptmann, winner of
the Nobel prize for literature in
1912, was the chief dramatist of
the Naturalist movement in Ger-
many from 1885 to 1900. His play,
“The Weaver”, written in the
tradition of Ibsen, is a powerful
social drama. In 1893-1894, Haupt-
mann turned away from Natural-
ism and took part in the revival
of romanticism. Typical of his
neo-romantic period is the play,
“The Sunken Bell’.

Professor Weigand, at present a
visiting lecturer at Harvard, is
particularly well equipped to speak
on this subject, having written a
book on the Modern Ibsen. He also
wrote a book on Thomas Mann’s
Magic Mountain.

Elections

The Editorial Board of the College News has decided
that it can not endorse any candidate for the presidency of
the United States. It is the policy of the board to agree un-
animously on every editorial which is published. In the case
of the election, the opinions of board members differ greatly.

Furthermore, the board feels that it is not the purpose
of the News to impose its ideas about national issues upon
its readers. The function of the News is, however, to present
campus opinion on such an important national event.

Therefore, in the October 29th issue two full pages will
be devoted to the national election. The chairmen of the
Eisenhower and Stevenson groups will write the “keynote”
articles—the campaign speeches they would compose if they
were “ghost writers” for their candidates. The remaining
space in these pages will be for letters or short articles (not
over 350 words) which you, our readers, wish to publish in
support of your candidate. The News must reserve the right
to choose which articles to print in case of duplication.

All articles are due no later than October 22. Send them
by campus mail to the News room in Goodhart or leave them
there in person. This is your opportunity to express con-
eretely the reasons for your choice of party and President.

Pakistan

How well do we know our student friends in Pakistan
and their countrymen now? Last weekend we had the op-
portunity of meeting their ambassador, hearing about their
religion and their way of life, seeing their handicrafts, lis-
tening to their poetry, and watching their dancing. Perhaps
we became interested in the story of how a nation begins its
independente and sets up a new government where only a
part of empire has been for many years.

We have discovered how fundamentally similar yet tra-
ditionally dissimilar we are. Although we come from differ-
ent ways of life we are all seeking answers to the same ques-
tions, solutions to the same problems. Most of us are seek-
ing friendship in a world where even cautious cooperation
has proved costly. Let us nevertheless extend our friend-
ship toward and become acquainted with all peoples search-
ing for peace.

Some of the finest opportunities Bryn Mawr offers are
those of hearing excellent speakers, meeting interesting
guests of the college, and becoming aware of today’s import-



Conclave Discusses
International Policy

John Foster Dulles’ five points
on foreign policy, which ‘were
quoted by an Eisenhower support-
er, began the student discussion on
the current presidential campaign
which was held in the Common
Room after Current Events on
Monday night, October 13. Miss

Leighton acted as mediator for the
meeting.

A general discussion on foreign

policy followed, including the mer-
its of government aid to Europe
and the Far East versus private
investments and aid, the Korean
problem, and the advantages of re-
ciprocal trade between other na-
tions and the United States. Points
concerning the value of the Kor-
ean truce talks, the international-
ist feelings in selections of both
parties, the need for more empha-
sis on the human angle of foreign
aid plans and many others were
criticized by the many participants
in the discussion.
No decision as to who or to what
policies should preside over Amer-
ica was arrived at unanimously,
but much enlightening informa-
tion on the many issues involved
came from the supporters of both
sides. Another discussion of the
campaign will follow Miss Clarke’s
talk on party realignment at cur-
rent events next Monday night,
October 20.

Current Egyptian-
Activity Concerns
Deanery Lecturer

Madam Amed Hussein of Cairo
spoke informally at the Deanery,
Tuesday, October 14, on “Current
Affairs in Egypt”. Madam Hus-
sein has come recently from
Egypt to America under the aus-
pices of the Friends of the Near
Kast.

Optimism is high in Egypt to-
day as a result of the recnt coup
d’etat administered to King Far-
ouk’s administration by the army
under the direction of Nagib. This
was the turning point of a nation
headed for disaster. Nagib was
and is a natural leader—an honest
man representing honest Egypt-
tians. Egypt, said Madam Hussein,
can ever hope to have more honest
and eager people in government as
those guiding the new regime.

One of the policies of the new
government is the splitting up of
the large estates. This five-year
measure, called the land reform,
limits the amount of land that may
be held up by one person to two
hundred acres. These are in turn
split up into small holdings of five
acres each. The tenant farmer in-
habiting these small acres pays
for them over a period of years.

This is one of the measures that
gives new privileges to the peas-
ant class. Over the years there
have been labor laws enacted for
industrial workers but none for
the peasants because their over-
lords, the land owners, were the
local representatives in govern-
ment.

One of the problems of this pro-
posed plan is the fact that there
are six million acres of land and
twenty million inhabitants of
Egypt. Which peasants are to get
these holdings of land when there
are three peasants per acre of
land? One man and his children
may alone help work the five acres.
Other laborers may assist the small
farmer.

Problems such as this one, which
come up in trying to formulate a
nationwide program of helping the
people, the Egyptians feel to be
best solved by making use of all
expert national and international
advice.

In the new constitution each vil-
lage elects leaders to speak for it.
There will be a national election
soon. Nagib has already warned
the city fathers to clean up their
governments. This represents a
social movement that has been
fomenting for a long time. The
Egyptians are eager to learn how
to make their own mistakes and
profit from them. Under the Brit-
ish such freedom of action was
limited.

The position of women is con-

Current Events

Miss Leighton Explains
Parties’ Foreign
Policy

Foreign policy alternatives was
the first topic to be discussed by
Miss Gertrude Leighton in her talk
at the Current Events meeting on
Monday evening, October 13, in the
Common Room of Goodhart Hall.
The Truman Policy tries to keep
the doors open to negotiations and
strengthening the non-Communist
world. It is a policy of contain-
ment. This policy, however, among
other things, is too weak to seek
broad negotiations with Russia and
China and too weak to promote

development in the non-Commun-

ist world.

Some of the alternatives for the
present system are to establish a
policy where no negotiations are
possible; to fight the war and get
it over with; to withdraw and
adopt a policy of isolationism; to
strengthen the present policy; or
have a “fresh new Eisenhower
policy.”

There is also the Dulles Doc-
trine, which is a movement for a
more anti-Communist policy in the
political and economic fields. It is
a policy of liberation, not contain-
ment.

Candidates’ Views

After suggesting the alterna-
tives, Miss Leighton went on to
give a picture of the stands
which Mr. Eisenhower and Mr.
Stevenson take. Both began as
Internationalists.

Miss Leighton stated that in the
beginning of the summer, EFisen-
hower was pro-Nato, pro-Marshall
plan, pro-Mutual Security Pro-
gram, and, in general, for a policy
of Internationalism. She claims,
however, that since that time, he
has deviated from along those
lines into several directions for
political reasons and seems to fa-
vor the Dulles policy of liberation.
As of October 12, Miss Leighton
pointed out, he has made sweeping
attacks on the Administration for-
eign policy and promises to cut de-
fense and foreign aid.

Stevenson was subject to a dif-
ferent split in the party than was
Eisenhower, and thus he did not
have to deviate from the princi-
ples with which he started. Miss
Leighton stated sthat Mr. Steven-
son has not made compromises in
the foreign policy and has stayed
with his original convictions.

Need for Clarity

“It is not that the General lacks
courage,” said Miss Leighton, “but
rather that he has not completely
mastered the art of politics.” She
stated that in his speeches, he of-
ten says: “I am told that .. .” or
“they tell me that .. .”, whereas
Stevenson would say: “that re-
minds me...”

Miss Leighton believes that Ei-
senhower’s compromise of foreign
policy—going out along several
different lines—shows a certain
lack of clarity and predictability.
In conclusion, she stated that Ste-
venson’s stand is clearer. She end-
ed: In foreign policy, this is a time
for as much predictability and
clarity as possible.”



Students for Democratic Ac-
tion is giving a U. N. tea Mon-
day afternoon, October 20, in
connection with U. N. Day. All
students are invited to attend
the gathering at four o’clock in
the Common Room, and the
group hopes that many foreign
students will be present so that
it may truly be a United Na-
tions affair.

An Alliance table for political
literature was organized this
week to make election informa-
tion easily available. This proj-
ect, sponsored by SDA, is locat-
ed in the former reserve room
in the library.

Mr. Thomas Speaks on Choral Art,
Conducts BMC-Haverford Choruses

Before Kurt Thomas demon-
strated his choral conducting tech-
niques to the audience in the Com-
mon Room Sunday afternoon he
spoke briefly on the present state
of choral music in Germany.

Germany has always been a
country of choral music, with
. many Kantorei or church schools
for training, and the works of the
great choral composers are univer-
sally known though the old com-
posers thought only of writing

musi¢ they liked for performance |

in the local churches. In the nine-
teenth century men like Mendels-
and the

singers often were not closely tied
with the church,

Secular Choirs

This movement toward secular
choirs grew, and by 1900 there
were few towns with a population
of 20,000 that had no choruses cap-
able of singing the great chorales.
The music became, however, a
stilted repetition of the often-sung
works of the nineteenth century
composer. The conductors were
instrumentalists and knew little
about choral works.

A change came in the difficult
years after the First World War.
Young people hunted new methois,
and revived the simple old choral
works as they had been written.
Composers used the old methods,
and societies were organized to
sing both the old and new works
for fun. People could not afford
to sponsor large concerts; instead,

sohn conducted choirs,



The sophomore class is happy
to announce the election of the

old and young from all walks of
life sang privately.

Public Appearances

Thete are few of these choral
groups who will not sing in public
today. They continue to sing the
new music, and now conductors are
being trained to lead them. When
Kurt Thomas went to Leipzig in
1928 to teach choral conducting
little was known about training
leaders. Yet this training was es-
sential.

Conductor Training

Mr. Thomas pointed out the
need of training not only in style
and program planning and in voice
and also in the actual physical
movements which enable a con-
ductor to convey the meaning of
the music.

As the movement progressed,
choruses improved and composi-
tions of the young Germans be-
came more widely known. Mr.
Thomas mentioned several of
these contemporary composers,
and added that the finest of them
all was Johannes Driessler, who
has written both sacred and secu-
lar music in many forms.

Demonstration

Mr. Thomas concluded by men-
tioning the four choruses which
he conducts, telling how much
work went into the preparation of
a piece, and mentioning the plan-
ning necessary for a good re-
hearsal. The actual _ rehearsal
techniques were shown when he
turned to conduct the combined
Haverford and Bryn Mawr chorus-
es. Mr. Reese, who had introduced
Mr. Thomas, announced the two
selections, the Shutz Motet “For
God So Loved the World”, and the
lecturer’s own “Gather Ye Flowers
and Branches”. Then he trans-
lated to the chorus Mr. Thomas’
orders, which were given in Ger-
man, and in the last selection
played the piano score while part
of the orchestra furnished the

Hunt Sisters Invade Freshman Class:
Active Argentine Girls Praise College

by Marcia

r

“How exciting! We’ve never been
interviewed before!” exclaimed
Lydia Hunt, when she and her
younger sister Virginia were in-
terrupted from their practice for
chorus tryouts. These two bub-
bling freshmen from Buenos Aires
were thrilled that they were going
to appear in the College News.

The Misses Hunt were born in
New Orleans, but moved to South
-America when Lydia was four
years old and Virginia was three.
Since then they have lived in
Buenos Aires all of their lives
except for a three month visit to
New Orleans in 1946. They like
the United States very much and!
are amazed and thrilled at the
friendliness of the people. “Every-
one is so anxious to help you,”
commented Virginia.

Sheer Beauty

When asked how they like Bryn
Mawr, Lydia hardly gave your re-
porter a chance to finish the ques-
tion as she burst out: “We love it
—everything about it!” and Vir-
ginia added, “it’s marvelous and all
the people. are divine!” Both girls
agreed that, at first sight of the
campus, they were taken aback by
its beauty. It was much more beau-
tiful than they ever imagined
from reports they had heard and
pictures they had seen. “And
Rhoads is just perfect,” they ex-
claimed, almost in unison.

Lydia and Virginia find that the
school system is very much dif-
ferent here. “We never had to dis-
cuss or criticize,” said Lydia, “and
when I got my first English paper
back, I realized that I don’t know



Joseph, ’55

how.” They find the courses hard
but very fascinating. Both are
planning to major in French Lit-
erature.

In Argentina, Virginia and Lydia
went to an English school, “where
they wear tunics like at Shipley,”
Virginia added. Virginia attended
the English school for ten years
and then went to the American
school for two more years; where-
as Lydia attended the English
school for eleven years and. an
Argentine school for two. “In
all the schools there, we have a
great variety of courses,” said
Lydia. “Yes, twelve a year,” add-
ed Virginia, “but they don’t teach
them as thoroughly.” They claim
that the South American system is
much more antiquated.

Club Conscious

Besides their delight in their
courses, the two girls are very
much interested in the various
clubs and activities. Both are try-
Ling out for Chorus and are plan-
ning to join the French and dance
clubs. In addition, Virginia is in-
terested in swimming and WBMC.
“We would like to join all the
clubs!” they exclaimed.

Lydia and Virginia Hunt were
delighted to offer their impres-
sions of Bryn Mawr because they
are in every way thrilled with it.
Their father went to. Haverford
and they have relatives in Phila-
delphia, so they feel right at home.
“Originally, we didn’t want to
come to school in the states,”
Lydia remarked, “but now we’re
so glad we did,” to which Vir-



ginia promptly agreed.

Monsieur Phillipe Verdier, new
attache to the Art Department,
described with his precise accented
voice, something of his previous
life in France, and of his life since
he arrived in the United States for
the first time last November.

In Paris, where he has _ lived
most of his life, M. Verdier studied
under Henri Facillon, after hav-
ing been a professor of Latin and
Greek and attaining the degree of
Agrege des lettres. When he came
to Yale as a Fellow last year, he was
very happy .to find, besides many
of his old friends, that the teach-
ing methods of his much admired
‘Henri ‘Facillon were used there. At
Yale M. Verdier assisted in a sem-
inar besides his research on Ren-
aissance and Medieval topics.

Tempered Barbarian

He explained that he is “rather
a tempered barbarian” for he be-
gan his study with the Middle
Ages and then worked back to
Medieval ‘Art... He is now doing
research on the question of icon-
ography, and symbolism, and be-
sides that and his teaching here at
Bryn Mawr is writing articles.

Asked about the French univer-
sities, he replied, “They are like
Woolworths. You help yourself
and live in a crowd.” And, he add-
ed that there are not so many ties

SPORTS

by Mary Jane Chubbuck, 755

Wednesday, October 8, two Bryn
Mawr hockey teams played against
Beaver’s aggregations. The var-
sity lost their game 8-1, the junior
varsity won theirs 10-1.

Good team work will describe
the varsity forward line; however,
the line fell apart in the circle,
and didn’t rush enough. But this
will improve as they practice to-
gether as a team. The varsity de-
tense did very nice work, but did
not rush their opponents as much
as they could have. Beaver’s pass-
ing and rushing in the circle was
excellent.

A hard-working forward line
rolled up the score for the second
team. The line worked as a unit;
in their passing on the field, and
their work in the circle. Those
playing defense had some hard
hits, particiularly the fullbacks.
As a whole, the defense should rush
more. The whole group played as
a real team the second half, and
this was when the majority of the
goals were made. Both teams need
more practice; however, they made
a good showing against the real
competition of the Beaver teams.

The line-ups were as. follows:
Varsity:

B. Borneman G. H. Hagopian
A. Wagoner LF. M. Ewer
A. Fasnacht RF. S. Kennedy

served at Bryn Mawr with the an-
nouncement of several changes in
the fire rules.. These changes were
made with the view of increasing
the efficiency of our fire drills and
entire fire prevention system.

One of the new rules which will
be most noticeable to the students
is the change from the system of
‘indoor and outdoor drills to one of
only outdoor ones. There will be
an increased number of drills dur-
ing the fall and spring when the
weather is nice, and a complete
elimination of the indoor drills,
which only served to confuse many
students. Another great change is
shown in the rule that students
leave their windows open, but close
their doors behind them as they
leave their rooms. This new rule
greatly cuts down the amount of
time that it takes a student to
leave her room.

The rules of clothing, namely, a
heavy wrapper or coat, walking
shoes, and a towel, remain, as do
those of turning on one’s lights
and raising the shades. There has
been, however, a change in the
punishments for infringement of
the fire rules. If in any fire drill,
the captain finds three or more
mistakes in clothing or procedure,
she is to call another drill within

Egyptian Student
Arrives on Campus
by Beth Davis, ’54

The juniors have just recently
gained a new addition to their
class, Suzy Habashy, who has
transferred from the American
University in Cairo, Egypt and is
now living in Merion. Suzy, who
has been to the United States once
before, when she was fourteen, ar-
rived in New York by plane in
July and took a job as a counselor
in a camp in upper New York. She
arrived on campus ‘Wednesday, Oc-
tober 8 and by Thursday was still
in the enviable position of not hav-
ing attended a single class but
planned to start Friday.

Suzy speaks perfect English
with a trace of an English accent
due to the school she attended in
Cairo and explained to us how she
also spoke Arabic, the language of
Egypt, and French, the tongue
used the most to shop in Cairo.
When she attended the University
in Cairo, she lived at home and
commuted in her little German car
(60 miles to the gallon!) and with
her friends put on several plays,
among them “Arsenic and Old
Lace” A history major, but also
interested in sociology, Suzy plans
to get her B. A. from Bryn Mawr

Dancers Enact Stories
After Pakistan Movies

“With Mrs. Roosevelt in Pak-
istan”. was the first movie, show-
ing the welcome accorded Mrs.
Roosevelt by the women of Pakis-
tan on her visit to their land. An
outdoor fashion show was includ-
ed, as well as many views in Pak-
istan cities, notably those of the
exquisitely lovely Shalimar Gar-
dens.

has been the capital city of East
Bengal since Pakistan became: a
nation on August 14, 1947, sho ved
the modern museums, universities,

contrasted with the astonishingly
rural air of the city. Here is done
some of the craftsmanship in sil-
ver, ivory, and shell for which
Pakistan is famous; here drills the
Women’s National Guard which
has become an example of devoted
social service.

Traditional Dances

Mr. Mohammed Siddiq Qureshi
concluded the program with cos-
tumed dances from the cultural
tradition of his country. In the
first, Mr. Mohammed and his beau-
tifully gowned partner portrayed
the scene as the poet, Omar Khay-
am, dreams of his beloved. Love,
Mr. Mohammed said, takes a lead-
ing part in Eastern philosophy.

A different kind of love was por-
trayed in his second dance, the
love of the moth for the candle.
The moth knows the candle will
destroy it, yet its fascination
brings it closer and closer to the
flame as the dancer, dressed in a
white costume and with no illum-
ination but two candles held in
his hand portray the anguish of
the moth.

Mr. Ali explained the nature of
conflict. (First there is bitterness
(as there originally was between
Roman Catholicism and Protest-

lowed by reconciliation and toler-
ance. While realizing that the
world is still in the first stage of
this conflict, Mr. Ali expressed the
hope that the transition to recon-
ciliation and acceptance would be

soon and permanent in its nature.
Pictures were taken of Mr. Ali and
his wife, Begum Mohammed Ali,
as well as members of his visiting
party, and students. These photo-
graphs will be sent to Miss Biba,

NOSE, THROAT,

Affected by Smoking Chesterfields

FIRST SUCH REPORT EVER PUBLISHED

ABOUT ANY

CIGARETTE



Aresponsible consulting organization has
reported the results of a continuing study by a
competent medical specialist and his staff on the
effects of smoking Chesterfield cigarettes.

A group of people from various walks of life
was organized to smoke only Chesterfields. For six
months this group of men and women smoked their
normal amount of Chesterfields— 10 to 40 a day.
45% of the group have smoked Chesterfields con-
tinually from one to thirty years for an average of

10 years each.

At the beginning and at the end of the six-
months period each smoker was given a thorough

medical specialist and his assistants. The exam-

ination covered the sinuses as well as the nose,

ears and throat.

The medical specialist, after a thorough exam-

ination of every member

of the group, stated:

“It is my opinion that the ears, nose, throat and

accessory organs of all participating subjects ex-
amined by me were not adversely affected in the
six-months period by smoking the cigarettes
provided.”

Divisions in Geography, Language, and Religion
Create Problems in Government Construction

Continued from Page 1

controlled India, the autonomy of
many ruling princes was respect-
ed.

The basic reason for the separ-
ation of Pakistan from India is the
difference in the religions of the
two peoples. Islam is the religion
of 84 percent of the Pakistan peo-

ple, while the majority of the In-
dians are Hindus. Muslims, Mr.
Ali affirmed are monotheistic:
They ibelieve that “there is no
god but God”. To the Muslims,
Moses, Jesus and Mohammed were
sent as mortal prophets of God to
preach the Islam religion. Moham-
med was not the founder of Islam,
but was simply God’s last prophet
on earth. Muslims believe that
religion has gone through an evo-
lution—from Judaism to Christian-
ity to Islam. Therefore, many of
the basic tenets of Islam are sim-
ilar to those of Judaism and
Christianity. The Islam religion
is important in regard to politics
because Muslims strongly believe
that “all men are born and creat-
ed equal’.

Hinduism °

Hinduism, in contrast, although
it is a very old religion, has re-
mained static. It has not evolved
from its ancient form as Islam
has. Hindus believe in more than
one god and do not believe in the
equality of men. Muslims have a
respect for other religions but Hin-
dus do not. This is because of the
Hindu belief in transmigration of
the sou? They believe that no one
nftay rise from the caste in which
he is,born in this life. If he: lives
wellf.a man will rise to a higher
caste in the next life. All other re-
ligions which believe in only one
life on earth are considered impure
by the Hindus. ‘Because of this,
the minority of Muslims would be
subjugated by the Hindus in a unit-
ed democratic Indian government.
The English did give equality to all
religions, but with Indian self-
government, the 100 million Mus-
lims decided that they must have
a country of their own in which to
live freely.

There were many problems in
constructing this new country, Mr.
Ali continued. Pakistan has two
geographical units, 1000 miles
apart. This had to happen because
of the difficulties of transplanting
such a large group of people. Also,
a completely new system of gov-
ernment had to be formed, where-
as the Indians could “step into the
shoes of the English government”.
The problem of dealing with eight
million Muslim refugees from all
parts of the world who came to
their “promised land” was *nor-
mous. Only by a strong belief in
God’s help, and by capable, devot-
ed men who were “able to provide
inspiring leadership” has Pakistan
survived through the hardships of
these last five years, declared Mr.
Ali.

Five Languages

The language difficulty is also
immense. In Pakistan, there exist
five different local languages, each
with a different script, plus the
national language. English, since
it is considered to be almost a uni-
versal language, is now the official
language of Pakistan. Most edu-
cated Pakistani people know three
languages—their local language,
the national language, and English.

There is need for friendship be-
tween Muslims, Jews and Christ-
ians, because of the similarity of
the three religions, Mr. Ali assert-
ed. It is not true that material
poverty breeds communism, since
many countries of comparatively
high standards of living—Czecho-
slovakia and Yugoslavia, for ex-
ample—have become communistic.
“Spiritual poverty”, however, does



cause communism. The people of
Pakistan are very religious and
believe in one world where all na-
tions can live in harmony. They
do not like the communists.

“So long as we agree to disagree”
Mr. Ali concluded, “to live and let
live, there is no reason why we
cannot have a free world.”

tle weary—but the last cigarette

come shoes, coats are shed and
form woolen pools about the wear-
er. In the half-light of the smok-

Attention Solons:
Law Exams Soon

The Law School Admission Test
required of applicants for admis-
sion to a number of leading Amer-
ican law schools, will be given at
more than 100 centers throughout
the United States on the mornings
of November 15, 1952, February
21, April 25, and August 8, 1953.
During 1951-52 over 6800 appli-
cants took this test, and their
scores were sent to over 100 law
schools.

A candidate must make separate
applications for admission to each
law school of his choice and should
inquire of each whether it wishes
him to take the Law School Ad-
mission Test and when. Since
many law schools select their
freshman classes in the spring pre-
ceding their entrance, candidates
for admission to next year’s class-
es are advised ordinarily to take
either the November or the Febru-
ary test, if possible.

The Law School Admission Test,
prepared and administered by Ed-
ucational Testing Service, features
objective questions measuring ver-
bal aptitudes and reasoning ability
rather than acquired information.
It cannot be “crammed” for. Sam-
ple questions and information re-
garding registration for and ad-
ministration of the test are given
in a Bulletin of Information.

Bulletins and applications for
the test should be obtained four to
six weeks in advance of the desir-
ed testing date from Law School
Admission Test, Educational Test-
ing Service, P. O. Box 592, Prince-
ton, N. J. Completed applications
must be received at least ten days
before the desired testing date in
order to allow ETS time to com-
plete the necessary testing ar-
rangements for each candidate.

stantly progressing in Egypt. In
fact, the girls are likely to work
harder in school because they can
choose whether to get a higher ed-
ucation, while it is compulsory for
boys. Education is compulsory for
all children up to a certain age,
but due to the shortage of schools
this ideal is now impossible in
practice. This is another goal of
the new government.

Nagib has stressed that Egypt
seeks war with no one and would
like to be friendly with the United

Grad School Test
Time Draws Near

The Graduate Record Examina-
tions, required of applicants for
admission to a number of gradu-
ate schools, will be administered
at examination centers throughout
the country four times in the com-
ing year, Education Testing Serv-
ice has announced. During 1951-52
nearly 8,000 students took the
GRE in partial fulfillment of ad-
mission requirements of graduate
schools which prescribed it.

This fall candidates may take
the GRE on Friday and Saturday.
November 7 and 8. In 1953, the
dates are January 30 and 31, Apri!
17 and 18, July 10 and 11. ETS
advises each applicant to inquire
of the graduate school of his
choice which of the examinations
he should take and on which dates.
Applicants for graduate school
fellowships should ordinarily take
the designated examinations in the
fall administration.

Test of Scholastic Ability

The GRE tests offered in these
nationwide programs include a
test of general scholastic ability,
tests of general achievement in six
broad fields of undergraduate
study, and advanced level tests of
achievement in various subject
matter fields. According to ETS,
candidates are permitted several
options among these tests.

Application forms and a Bulle-
tin of Information, which pro.
vides details of registration anc
administration as well as sampic
questions, may be obtained :.
college advisers or directly from
Educational Testing Service, P.O.
Box 592, Princeton, N. J., or P.O.
Box 9896, Los Feliz Station, Los
Angeles 27, California. A com-
pleted application must reach the
ETS office at least two weeks be-
fore the date of the administra-
tion for which the candidate is ap-
plying.

practices of his religion and those
of Christianity and Judaism.

He explained the Islam concep-
tion of worship. The Muslim con-
cept is that each man should and
ean worship God in his way. To
increase his circle of acquaint-
ances of members of his own re-
ligion, however, he is supposed to
go to a meeting of the people of
his neighborhood every Friday.
This same philosophy is i
through to a meeting of all the
peopie vf an area once a year, and
also the trip to Mecea, which every
Muslim who can should undertake
in order to get tv know other
people of his religion from other
lands. In this way, a sense of
brotherhood is created.

Month-long Fast

Mr. Mohammed Ali also told
about the fast which all followers
of Islam keep for one month every
year. This is a very strict fast
which forbids th&eating of any-
thing from sunrise to sunset for
an entire month. The purposes of
the fast are threefold: it is a
health measure to discourage over-
eating; it develops self-control;
and it teaches the wealthy to un-
derstand the suffering of the poo.
who are starving.

Much to the disappointment of
those attending the tea, the am-
bassador and several members ot
the delegation had to leave at 4:00.
Mr. Mohammed Ali, while always
maintaining his dignity, impresseu
everyone who spoke with him ac
the tea by his warmness and gen-
uine interest in their questions. He
expressed his thanks from the stu-
dents of Dacca. He had been con-
aected with the university several
years ago when he established the
medical school there. Many mem-
bers of the group were able to stay
on, though; and everyone went to
the Quita Woodward Room to look
at the objects displayed there and
find out their purposes and meth-
ods of construction. ;

Surrealism Plus

After an informal discussion of
these objects with the various Pak-
istanis, Mr. Salman Ahmad Ali
told about the art of Pakistan. He
emphasized the fact that Pakistan
art is somewhat of a combination
of surrealism and impressionism.
One school of painters uses only
lines, expressing shade by the
proximity of the lines. Another
school shows more of the Western
influence, and the leading expon-
ent of this school makes use of
broad, black strokes of a dry
brush technique, with occasional
color for emphasis.

There is no three-dimensional
representation of the human form
as such in Pakistan art because
the original Arabs were pagans
and worshipped idols. When Mo-
hammed preached his religion, he
had to combat this idol worship;
and therefore, the representation
of the human form was _ looked
down upon. The work displayed in
the Quita Woodward Room was ail
either cottage industry or the work
of skilled artisans. After a ques-
tion and answer period, the Pak-
istan weekend closed officially.

Job Outlook Seems;
Good: For Economy |-

{Continues to Grow |

The job outlook for new college
graduates this year is excellent.
Our economy is. operating at ex-
tremely high levels and is expand-
ing, and that expansion is expect-
ed. to. continue and intensify dur-
ing the rest of 1952 and 1953. Rec-
ord employment levels are being
reached nearly every month. Un-
employment.is extremely low and
is expected to edge downward ev-
en further.

Defense production and employ-
ment have been rising steadily for
many months and are scheduled to
expand rapidly until the end of
1953. After that time defense out-
put will remain on a high. plateau
for a number of months. Produc-
tion’ and employment for civilian
use have been edging downward in
recent months and a further de-
cline may be anticipated during
much of this year. During 1953,
however, employment levels in this

|segment: of the: economy are ex-

pected to climb upward until they
have more than recovered the loss
es of 1952..

The. decline in: employment. in
non-defense activities is largely- a
counterpart of the expansion of
the defense: program. We have,
for example, had to curtail produc-

tion and employment: in a number

of consumer hard goods industries
because we could not provide them

‘with the desired quantities of cer-

tain key metals such as steel, alum-

,|inum, and copper, and at the same

time: provide those metals to de-
fense industry. Metal supplies
are now loosening, however, and to

'|@ constantly greater extent non-

defense industries will be able to
obtain the types and quantities
they desire.

Certain of our consumer soft
goods industries, most notably

textiles, apparel and shoes, have

_lexperienced employment. declines
during the last 8 or 10 months be-
cause of a lack of demand. We ex-

pect, however, that some measure
of recovery will occur in these in-’

dustries because inventories are
now quite low and consumer pur-
chasing power is high enough to
encourage higher consumption.
As this: brief resume of over-all
economic outlook indicates, job. op-
portunities. should be plentiful for
some time to come not only be-
cause. we are operating at high

levels but also because we are con-

tinuing to expand.

Students seeking information
on expanding industries or sec-
tions of the country need to re-
member this basic fact: most of

lege graduates will be, as usual,
those which have been vacated by

other workers. Deaths and retire-
ments at the top of the occupation-
al ladder create the largest num-
ber of openings at the bottom. It
follows that most of the openings
will occur in the large industries
and the areas where there are now
the heaviest concentrations of em-
ployment.

Employment in certain parts of
the country is growing more rap-
idly than in others, in the long run.
This is true on the West Coast, in
the South Atlantic region and in
Texas. Moreover, in rural areas
of the country the need for work-
ers in some of the professional



fields is frequently relatively great-

the jobs taken by this year’s col-|er than in cities.
