‘System Adopted
To Restrict Use
Of College Coal

Nepper Asks Reduced
Use of Electricity
By Students

Goodhart, November 26. The se-
riousness of the coal situation calls
for immediate and severe meas-
ures to conserve the college coal
supply, Dean Nepper pointed out
in a. special college assembly.
Since the duration of the strike
cannot be known at this time, con-
servation is required to stretch the

present supply throughout the

winter, if necessary.
More than one-half of the coal
is used to produce electricity, so

that the college has asked students
to cut down on the use of lights
and all electrical equipment. All
lights except those essential for
safety are to be turned—out from
12 midnight until 5 A. M., so that
the fires in the powerhouse can be
banked during these hours.

All hall lights must be extin-
guished by 12 o’clock, except lights
in the bathrooms and on stairs.
The Library will be closed at 10
P. M., and all lights turned out;
Park and Dalton at 6 P. M., and
Goodhart at 10 P. M. The Gym-
nasium will be closed from 6 until
8 in the evening and open only for
necessary activities from 8 unfil

Cadbury Ex Explains
Revision of Bible

Discussing the difficulties en-
countered in translating the New
Testament, Dr. Henry Cadbury,
Hollins professor of Biblical Lit-
erature at Harvard University,
and former professor at Bryn
Mawr College, spoke on Decem-
ber 3.

Dr. Cadbury, one of the commit-
tee appointed to the project of re-
vising the New Testament, declar-
ed that the first decision to be
made was whether or not an im-
proved translation could be writ-
ten which would justify altering
such an important document.

The second problem encountered
was that of choosing a Greek text
from which to work. The .commit-
tee frequently had ‘to contradict
earlier translations in its attempt

at authenticity.
: Since the . Hellenistic Greek
found in the early texts is now a
dead language, the committee was
also faced | with the difficulty of
finding meanings for archaic
words. It was often necessary to

study all available examples of a |

word in order to approximate its
meaning. The translation of many
words are therefore merely con-
jecture.

The committee also encouncered
the problem of choosing the style
of English into which to render
the translation. A moderm style
was decided upon, a compromise

between. Age eeehale and the. vepmpots Committee for ; -
Fund, pointed out that the concert |

nacular.

Finally there was the difficulty
of translating not only from one
langy:~ .““snotl so.frgm
one ae to another. Many of
the original Greek idioms have no
exact equivalent in modern Eng-
lish.



Mass Meeting

Presents Issues _

Of Big May Day :

Goodhart, Nov. 25: Both sides of
the question of whether to hold
Big May Day in 1948 were pre-
sented at a Mass Meeting so that
a campus poll could be’ taken to de-
cide if there is enough student: in-
terest to merit bringing the matter
up before the Faculty Committee
and the Board of Trustees. Movies
of previous May Days were shown,
and Mrs. Manning, Miss Oppen-
heimer, Louise Ervin ’49 and Nancy
Martin ’49 presented the pro and
con.

Mrs. Manning pointed out that
the work involved in May Day has
never seemed too hard and that the
financial risk is worth taking, since
the management has always made
ends meet and will do so in 1948.
She stressed the importance of
wholehearted cooperation from the
students if it is to be given, be-
cause one of the greatest advan-
tages is the united college spirit
which May Day produces.

Miss Oppenheimer agreed with
Mrs. Manning on the advantages
of May Day, but said that the main
burden would fall on this year’s
sophomores who must be consider-
ed. She said that May Day brings
many people to the college which
benefits from so finished and ar-
tistic a production as a Big May

Day. She would, however, sup-
port a simpler program in 1948
with less tradition and_ rivalry

which ‘have made each year more
costly in effort and money.

Louise Ervin, who spoke for hold-
mg it, emphasized the diversity
and novelty of each occasion. It
is Bryn Mawr’s greatest creative
activity, absolutely unique as a
college celebration, which should
be kept alive. She added that be-
sides producing necessary college
spirit, May Day would bring the
college to, the attention of entire-
ly new groups, an -important—faet
for the Alumnae Drive. Time and
money are certainly important, but
like Miss Oppenheimer, she advo-
cated a simple festival which would
solve these problems. She con-
cluded by saying that May Day
comes once in four years, and that
rehearsals take only eight weeks.

‘Nancy Martin pointed out that
productions of May Day have be-
come. increasingly grandiose, so

Near East Econ.|
To be Discussed
By S. Habachy

Economic Problems of the Near
East will be the subject of a lec-
ture to be given by Senator Saba
Pacha Habachy K. B. E., formerly
Minister of Industry and Com-
merce in Egypt, at the third Col-
lege Assembly on Current Affairs,
Thursday, December 12, at 12:30
P. M., in Goodhart.

Senator Habachy studied at the
Law School of Egypt and then at
He was
first in the Chamber of Deputies
and then appointed to the ministry
through his interest in economics
and industry. At the time of his
appointment he was the youngest
minister and also the only Chris-
tian one.

He has received the title of
Pasha, which is the highest title
granted by the Egyptian King,
and in 1939 was knighted by the
King of England. He resigned his
cabinet post just before coming to
this country, where he is repre-

in January to take up his law
practice.

Vinaver to Talk
On Newly-Found
Text by Malory

After nearly 450 years in. which
most students of English litera-
ture had given up hope of seeing
the Malory manusegipt of Morte
d’Arthur, one was discovered in
1934 in the Fellows Library of
Winchester College. This has been
edited by Professor Eugene Vin-
ever, who will discuss it in a lec-
ture entitled “New Light on Mal-
ory” in Goodhart Hall, December
10, at 8:30, in the Ann Elizabeth

lish.

Previously the only manuscript
of the Morte d’Arthur was that
printed by Caxton, who attributed
it to Malory but no version of a
pre-Caxton manuscript has been
known up until now to have sur-
vived. . Professor Vinever, both
from earlier investigations and as
a result of the study of this manu-
script has a varied and detailed
knowledge of Malory here ore
unknown. ‘ :

Mr. Vinever is Professor of
French Language and Literature
in the University of * Manchester
and has published several works
on Malory and Arthurian matters.

Croce as Critic
Analyzed in Talk
By Mr. Gianturco

“Croce’s literary criticism is
germane to an understanding of
his per8onality, although it is only
one of he many aspects of his truly
encyclopedic mind,” said Mr. Elio
Gianturco, whose lecture on “Ben-
edetto Croce as a Literary Critic”
was given in honor of Croce’s
eightieth birthday this year.

Croce once said that “Criticism
is armed and fighting” and _ this
represents his main characteristic
as a critic. All his criticism be-
gins with a polemic, but it is posi-
tive and rectifying; he insists on
absolute accuracy of data and phil-
ology. Philosophy is indispensable
to criticism, for a work of art
must be interpreted in its relatian
to life as a whole from which art
springs. In fact, in discussing
Croce’s work it is impossible to
separate the critical, philosophical,
and historical. Criticism is, there-
fore, tied to philosophy which is
interdependent with history. He
does not believe, however, that a
history of literature can be writ-
ten, for every work is complete in
itself and should not be compared
to external influences.

Mr. Gianturco discussed Croce’s
relation to the English critics Car-
lyle and Arnold. Although the
former’s prophetism and _hero-
worship are alien to Croce, they
are both opposed to the reduction
of art to psychology. Unlike the
French school of St. Boeuf, they
do. not look for what the writer in-
tended to do but what he achieved.

Keyptian Lecture
To Be Presented

“The Egyptian Way of Life,

Truth as the Law of Existence,”
will be the subject of a lecture giv-
en by Mr. Henri Frankfort, Thurs-
day, December 12, in the Deanery,
at 8:15 P, M.
The*lecture is one of a series
of five to be given in the Philadel-
phia‘area on Egyptian religion and
culture. Mr. Frankfort is profes-
sor of Oriental Archaeology at the
University of Chicago and is a
prominent archaeologist and au-
thor in this field.



B.M.Fund Plan;
Students’ Quota
Made for Year

$7,500 to be Raised
By Undergrads
This Year

$12,000 has been set as ‘the un-
‘dergraduate quota for the Bryn
Mawr Fund 1946—(“The Alumnae
Drive”) for Faculty Salaries,
Scholarships, and Academic Proj-

ects, the Undergraduate Commit-
tee for the Fund has just announc-
ed. The quota is to be raised over
two years, the Committee hoping
to raise $7,500 this year and the
remainder next year.

In addition to individual solicit-
ing, which will begin after Christ-
mas vacation, the Committee has
already held or is planning a num-
ber of benefit projects, the proceeds
of which will go to the student
quota. The Junior Show has con-
tributed_approximately $350, while
the Varsity Players estimate profits
of approximately. $125 from the
“Skin of Our Teeth” production
with Haverford. The carnival giv-
en by the Athletic Asocisation net-
ted approximately $30 for the
Fund.

Proceeds of the joint concert to
be given by the Chorus and by
Hamilton College in New York
will be added to the student total.
The Concert Series being given
this winter, with Carol Brice, the
Paganini Quartet, the Mischa El-
man, is for the benefit of the Fund,
and any profits will be included in
the undergraduate figures. Mr.
Alwyne will present a piano recit-
al on February 6 for the benefit
of the Fund, and Merion and Den-
bigh, under the leadership of
Henny Burch, ’48, are sponsoring
a concert on December 8, to be
presented by students with musical
talent.

The Undergraduate Committee
for the Fund, headed by Ann Chase,
was selected through the Under-
graduate Association, and includes
in the Steering. Committee, A. S.
Ericson, ’48, Nancy Martin, ’49,
Judith Adams, ’49, Margery Shaw,

Princeton Men Beat B. M. Team;
Fight to Close Finish in Hockey

By Betty-Bright Page °49

Amid cries of “Extirpate Ivy!”
and “Poi$on Ivy!”, a warlike Bryn
Mawr Hockey Team threw itself
into the fight to show the Ivy Club- |
bers how to really play Boeke |
And they succeeded, for only barely |
did Princeton escape with its mas- |
culine superiority intact. The 4-3
score in favor of the “miscellane-
ous” team (not all Ivy men as they
claimed to be) proved beyond a
doubt that Bryn Mawr was to be
reckoned as more than a “practicd
game for Vassar” in the future.

The Princeton boys, hurling such
epithets as “meanies!” when B. M.
got a free shot, were especially no-

tire. In accordance with the theme
of orange and black variations, one
player had a tres chic d satin

striking contrast-between the two
teams was shown in the half when
Princeton, leading Bryn Mawr 2-1,
happily guzzled beer; while the
girls renewed their vigor and
drowned their sorrows by sucking
oranges, which they” later unsel-
fishly shared with their cheering
section. :

The spectators were certainly as
active as the players themselves
throughout the game. Screaming
wildly when Betty Coleman made

was led by two extemporaneous
Bryn Mawr girls, and an anony-. ..

Implications of the Coal Strike

Mr. Lewis’ coal crisis, coming at a time when the world’s|.
economy is just beginning to gain momentum in peace-time
fields again, poses a-threat which cannot be ignored. Not
only is Mr. Lewis’ action a challenge to capitalistic economy
wth its vaunted settlement of economic relations according
to natural laws, but it is in fact a challenge to the heart of
the American system of individualist democracy.

The legal issues of Mr. Lewis’ and the Government’s
cases must be debated by legal experts fully acquainted with
labor and contract law. To the general public, it is enough
to say that each side has a legal argument, or the case would
not be tried. The question which must be decided by the
average citizen is whether one individual, Mr. Lewis, can take
upon himself the responsibility of breaking a contract which
is bound by the nature of the product involved to paralyze the
national economy at a critical moment both in the country

‘and in the world.

It is interesting, perhaps even significant, that the pub-
licity on the strike has concentrated upon the legal position
of both sides, and not upon the grievances, just or otherwise,
which have been cited as cause for breaking the contract in
the first place. In one respect this is good, as it stresses the
need, more apparent than ever since V-J Day, for a re-

definition of the legal position of unions since that laid down

by the Wagner Labor Relations Act. But this legal emphasis
is tending to obscure the economic implications of both this
and other recent strikes; for the strike is also a test of the
precepts which have hitherto governed the operation of the
capitalistic economy. Labor has hitherto been considered as
merely one element-in the productive mechanism ; as the labor
union is becoming accepted, the role of labor as an organiza-
tion, rather than as a commodity, must be regarded.

The fact that one individual can, by taking such action
as Mr Lewis has taken, affect the lives of virtually-every cit-

‘izen in the United States calls for a reconsideration of the

nature of individualist democracy. It has been the tendency
of the western democracies to emphasize the individual rath-
er than society; but the individual cannot exist without soci-

-. ety, and individual rights will become self-destructive if they

AEP ABY

are not exercised with regard to the rights of society.

- We as citizens must decide whether Mr. Lewis is exceed-
ing his individual rights’ ®Y"ev.u, in oppositiow™te.....- re-}
quirements and rights of the society of which he is a part.

CURRENT

November 25. In discussing John
L. Lewis and the present coal
strike, Mrs. Manning pointed out
that labor unions represent a mi-
nority which is not supported by
unorganized labor or by the coun-
try at large; and that therefore
popular opinion may play an im-
portant role in the settlement of
the strike.

Mrs. Manning also explained the
origin of the dispute between Lew-
is and the government. “Mr. Lew-
is first announced that the contract

\which had been made last spring

would be terminated. An injunc-
tion forbidding the miners. to
strike was issued. Lewis, however,
called a strike of soft coal miners
and was then ordered to appear in
court.” There was no justification
for Mr. Lewis’ action, in Mrs.
Manning’s opinion, for the com-
plaints he made seemed trivial—
almost frivolous; and he has made
no effort to have the abuses men-
tioned amended.

“The world effect of the coal
strike will be enormous,” Mrs.
Manning continued. “There will
be a paralysis of economic recov-
ery as well as the creation of a
very bad impression of the United
States government.” The imme-
diate results as far as Lewis and
the miners are concerned may take
any one of three forms: “Lewis
may be sent to jail; the United
Mine Workers may be fined heav-
ily; or a stringent law dealing

‘with labor unions and strikes may
\be passed by Congress.”

Elizabeth McClure, ’48, Nelly Kef-
fer, 48, Joan Broadfoot, 749; Sue
Henderson, °49, Hope Kaufman,
48, Harriet Rhodes, 50, Grace
Werring, Graduate Student, and
Lucia Rogers, ’48.

In addition to the Steering Com-
mittee, Helen Burch, ’48, has been
selected to head benefit concerts
on campus, Hope Kaufman, ’48, is
in charge of the Concert with Ham-
ilton, to be given in New York on
March 2, and Pamela Stillman, ’48,
is chairman of the Committee on
New York Benefits. The total
Fund Committee will be composed
of the Steering Committee, which
includes 2 members from each
hall, and additional members from
all four classes in each hall.

The quota, Ann Chase, chairman,
pointed out, was reached on the
basis of an average contribution
of $10 per student: Since it is un-
derstood that every student ~may
not be able to contribute $10, each
student is urged to contribute as
much as she feels she can. Stud-
ents are requested not to appeal
to their parents for this contribu-
tion, as parents will be reached
through the local fund organiza-
tion.

The undergraduate quota will be
contributed to the Fund quota,
which has been set at $2,000,000;
of this, $1,000,000 will be set aside
for endowment, $500,000 will be
spent over a period of ten to fif-
teen years to aid faculty salaries;
$200,000 will be used for graduate
and undergraduate scholarships,
and the remaining $300,000 for
special academic projects and ex-
penses.

The increase in faculty salaries
which the Fund will provide will
be the first since..1920, since rising
costs of operation in recent years
have prevented any such action on
the present income of the college.
At present salaries vary from a
minimum of $1800 for an instruct-
or to a maximum of $5200 for a
full professor, and it is hoped that

EVENTS

Common Room, December 2.
American should immediately stop
manufacturing atomic bombs in or-
der to maintain political peace
with Russia, warned Mr. Michels
at Current Events, in a discussion
of the control of atomic’ energy.
Such political accord is the only
safeguard against future wars em-

methods of destruction.

America has accumulated a
large stockpile of bombs, and Rus-
sia is afraid that these bombs are
to be dropped on her. In spite of
this fear, she has made great con-
cessions by agreeing to interna-
tional inspection of armaments; it
is up to the United States, said
Mr. Michels, to reciprocate by
ceasing manufacture of the bomb,
denaturing radioactive materials,
and convincing Russia that this is
a genuine gesture of goodwill.

The advances. toward interna-
tional control represented by the
Acheson and Baruch reports are
significant but not_ sufficient,
stressed Mr. Michels. Atomic war-
fare can never be ruled out if war-
fare itself is not. Ultimate world
government is the only permanent
solution, although the world is not
ready for it now.

The history of nuclear energy
since 19389 was traced by Mr. Mi-
chels, who stressed the fact that
the real reason for dropping the
bomb, the fear that Germany
would drop it first, was plainly no
longer valid by the time of the
Hiroshima raid.

g Alliance Angles

The question of the control of
atomic energy is one which should
concern everyone. Public opinion
will influence the State Depart-
ment in the formulation of its
policy and it is particularly impor-
tant at this time that students
should take a stand.

The Alliance is circulating a pe-
tition to the State Department
urging that the production of
atomic bombs cease immediately
and that the existing ones be dis-
posed of. This seems to be the
only course of action which would
be consistent with our affirmation
that the United States has no in-
tention of using the atomic bomb.
It would not only be a gesture of
good will towards all other na-
tions, but it would be a concrete
lexpression of a sincere desire on
| the part of the United States to
co-operate fully in the mainten-
ance of world peace.

We realize that this is only one
part of the problem of the control
of atomic energy, but it is one
issue upon which everyone should
form a definite opinion.

M. A. Hine Speaks
On Voters League

The past history and present
goals of the League of Women
Voters were discussed at~a tea in
the Common Room on Monday,
November 25, by Miss Margaret
A. Hine, assistant organization
secretary of the League. The pur-
pose of Miss Hine’s talk was to
inform a group of interested Bryn
Mawr students about the work of
the League and to aid them in
forming a branch of the organiza-
tion here at the college.

The League of Women. Voters
was formed 26 years ago, Miss
Hine stated, as a result of the
passage of legislation permitting
women to vote, with the idea of
teaching women the actual proced-
ure of voting. Today it reaches
not only women but men as well,
and has expanded its sphere of ac-
tivity immensely, : Its purpose at
the present time is to promote po-
litical activity through informed
and active partitipation in govern-
ment.

The league is organized on lo-
cal, state, and national levels.
Every second year, representatives
of the various branches of the

that the meaning is lost and the

spirit is artificial.

“Why work a whole year for two
days of good weather?” when stu-
dent interest has diminished, the
financial risk is so great, and the
profit. relatively small. For exam-
ple, the profit of the 1986 May Day
was only $1000, the smallest ever
returned except in 1932. She ad-
mitted the publicity value of May
Day, but insisted that an archaic
festival is not needed to show our
interest in the liberal arts. “Our
eyes should be on the future; there
is no better publicity for a liberal
college,”

B. M. Teams Win
Hockey Victories

Three victories, two for the first
team. and one for the _ second,
brought the formal hockey season
to a climactic and satisfying close,
with a record of only two defeats, |
the first two matches, for the var-
sity. In these last matches, the
first and second teams defeated
Rosemont 1-0, and 5-0, respective-
ly on November 20, and the first
team won a decisive victory over
the Merion Cricket Club, 5-2, on
Thursday, November 21.

In the Rosemont match, Silvia
Hayes scored the sole point of the
game in the second half.

The Merion Cricket Club match
was particularly noteworthy in
that the two points for Merion were
both scored by Bob Boas, second
string Bryn Mawr center forward
who, with Betty Foccardi, acted as
substitute for the Merion Cricket
Club, which did not have a full
team present.

ed away with Monday’s game to
the surprising score of 4-0,

The year’s first cold weather
kept spectator attendance at a low
level; few from either college were
present to watch this best of the
recent post-season hockey games.
The game was less spectacular
from the onlooker’s point of view;
the picturesque fouling of ante-
cedent games was comparatively
non-existent, as the. soccer team,
already accustomed to a hockey
lineup, quickly accustomed itself to
handling a hockey stick.

The Bryn Mawr team worked as
a whole, but Haverford’s forceful
drives, speedy if pellmell dribbling
and scrappy stickwork resulted in
the lop-sided score. The half-time
rest period was eliminated, and the
last period shortened because of

highly-touted football team, walk-

By Helen Martin ’49

Loftily scorning the. Haverford
claim of a moral victory, the sec-
ond hockey team of Bryn Mawr
emerged from the battle of last
Monday, declaring themselves, by
virtue of this unique game, un-
beaten by any boys’ team in this
1947 season. Meanwhile the Hav-
erfords returned to Haverford,
smug with the satisfaction of three
goals to Bryn Mawr’s one, even if
“those lousy officials” discredited
two goals. All this as.a result of
the hockey game, tied 1-1, between
Bryn Mawr’s second team and
Haverford’s football team on No-

Probably Haverford has an ex-
cellent golf'team. Any spectator
of last week’s game would be quick
to agree; it is only a pity that the
officials had to discredit some of
the heftier swings with a whistle
and a warning of “Sticks!” more
than.a few times during the game.
The stamina evidenced in Haver-

ford’s playing was obviously de- |’

rived from sideline stimuli — not
only from the cheering of a large
portion of the college, but from a
large jug of cider which each sub-
stitute guzzled before he entered
the game, lighting a cigarette as
he picked up a hockey stick.
