Association’s Double Role
Is Stressed by Head
Of Board

This is the first of a series of
articles in which
ent\ Organizations, (The. Under-
graduate Association, the Self Gov-

ernment Association, the Bryn



Mawr League, and the War Alli-|

ance) will be defined, with regard
to the purpose of their existence,
the way in’ which they function,
and the fields of their activity. It
is hoped that in this manner, points
which have hitherto been ambigu-
ous, will be made clearer to the
Campus.

The heads of these organizations,
together with the heads of the
Athletic Association and the Col-
lege News, constitute the Under-
graduate Council, headed by the
President of the Undergraduate
Association, which meets weekly
to discuss plans and current cam-
pus problems, and to co-ordinate
all campus activities. This body
was formed in the winter.of 1943,
and has-proved to be of great val-
ue. The formation. of the Common

the Undergraduate Volunteer Ac-
tivities Programme are two im-
portant accomplishments of the
Council.

has two. main purposes—represen-

views of the Undergraduate body.

with these other college
groups, and is the channel of con-

tween the Undergraduates and the
administration and faculty.

Calhoun Emphasizes
Triple Role of. Jesus
In Christian Doctrine

Music Room, February 26. Dr.
Calhoun, presenting the last in a
series of three lectures on Basic
Christian Doctrines, emphasized
the triple role of Christ as prophet
and teacher, as Messiah, and as
Saviour.

As a teacher and prophet Christ
emphasized morality, especially
the covenant relationship between
God™and map. Christ made a cer-
tain moral distinction between
ethics and ceremonials. It is the
ethical side which is of primary
importance, but the outward act
gives light to the inward self.



The theological context in which
these affirmations are .made is
that the sovereignity of God and
his Kingdom is the supreme focus
of all that man should be; and do.
Christ is recognized as the embod-
iment of the prophetic word. As
Dr. Calhoun said, “He stands first

_| of all then, as first of the “pro-

phets.X

It was in his lifetime that Christ
came to. be considered as the Mes-
siah. Reluctantly, Christ came to
think of himself as such, but the
breath’of hope that he uttered was
met by deaf ears. His suffering
and death were seen as an end
which would usher in the reign of
God.

His followers realized that, par-
adoxically, after his death he be-
came more powerful than before.
From his death new spirit spread
abroad, for there was a power of
tremendous emotional excitement
“to pick up the broken body and
make it walk”, as Dr. Calhoun put
it. This was evidence that a new
era was ushered in, for “out of his
death this strange power had
come forth.”

God is‘considered the mediator,
for he has healing powers and
steadily maintains the inexorable
moral order. God.is.steadily the
ground for human salvation, for
his wall of norms cannot be mov-
ed. God is his own mediator. That
is, he doesn’t require a third party,
or Prometheus, to step in between
him and mankind.

Quizzes and Discipline

Last week the, News published a letter ivadaiuiiine the
results of the Curriculum:Committee Poll on rescheduling in
respect to the demand for frequent quizzes instead of mid-
semesters. The letter styled this proposal as typical of gram-
mar schools, and condemned its_appearance in the realms of
higher education. It called for better discipline on the part
of each student and an elimination as far as possible of of-

‘ficial measures of organization in the college.

The charge of “organization” leveled at the replacement

of mid-semesters by more frequent quizzes does not seem.

valid; for quizzes whose frequency is left to the determina-
tion of the professor bespeak less organization than _mid-
‘semesters imposed on every course at .a time arbitrarily se-
lected by the Dean’s Office. The purpose of these quizzes is
to permit the professor to test the understanding of the stud-
ent after the course has covered material which comprises

in some : ee a unit. This need not mean that the empha-.

seas the various elements. which go to make up the
trends envisaged in the course as'a whole. Quizzes viewed in
this manner should do much to “de-organize” the academic
program.

The plea for better individual distipline is one which
merits serious consideration, for Bryn Mawr students, are
rather lax in this respect. This defect arises partly from im-
maturity, and partly from the failure of American prepara-
tory schools to develop individual discipline. Recently the
colleges have been forced to take over many of the functions |
properly performed by preparatory schools,-and though this
trend is regrettable, it is necessary. that the college assume
some responsibility in remedying this deficiency. At the

_same time, however, this action: should not lay the basis for
adoption by the college of the academic work of preparatory
schools.

. The University of Maryland, in response to ‘the New
York Times survey on American History, has recently re-
organized the curriculum of the first two years, imposing the

study of American History, Government and CulturaLDevel-

opment. This is an example of the college assuming, the aca-
demic function of preparatory schools, yet because’ of the
startling results of the Times poll is probably necessary un-
der the circumstances. This decision, however, may prove
unfortunate if it should lead to similar action i in fields where
there i is a less precise needs

Recent trends in Spain also in-

It’s Not That Difficult

Since last week’s assembly in which Miss McBride ex-
pressed ‘the college’s feelings ‘on the subject of vacation trav-
el various confusions and complaints have arisen among the
student body.

Primary among these is the charge that the adminis-
tration’s presentation of the problem was far too vague and
ambiguous in leaving the final decision entirely up to the in-
dividual ’s discretion. But such a charge could be justified
only if one considered the Bryn Mawr student as immature
and requiring absolute direction about every decisiom she is
to make.

Such a charge is far more a defense mechanism than a
thoughtful complaint. Too many students, suffering from
mild attacks of conscience seem to feel that they are justi-
fied to go home by the fact that “the college didn’t say we
have to stay.”

In many cases such a decision to go home would be an
evidence of a sane and wise understanding of the problem.
For many students the rest and change gained by a vacation
is more vital to them than their space on a train is 6 the
war effort.

The difficulty is that it is all too likely that it is those
very students who need the break, and at whom the leniency
of the college’s decision. is directed, ‘are the very ones who

up. Now, why .should that be?
They are inconspicuous, decorative,
and add immeasurably to the per-
sonality of the room. Also, there
is a nice’ satisfaction in having
some sign of your passing for fu-
ture generations to admire. There
is plenty of room around the win-
dows. Altogether, we think that
the tradition instead of being sup$
pressed, should be encouraged.

Modern Dance Club President
Urges Campus Recognition
Of Dance as Sport

To the Editor:

The. members of the modern
dance group were especially glad
to see the letter in: last week’s
News, which asked for the further
recognition of modern dance on
campus. This is something we’ve
been wanting for a long time; but
we didn’t have enough. strength
behind us. Quite a few girls on
campus didn’t even know what
modern dance is, and “many of
them had a very confused idea of
what it is like and what its aims
are.

This year, however, interest in
modern dance has sprung up and
has been growing steadily. The
dancing in the Freshman Show
not only» proved the Freshmen’s
leaning toward modern dance, but
gained the approval of many up-
perclassmen. The dance group in

Wyndham has more than tripled ie

in size since last year, and has
kept up a record of good attend-
ance and real enthusiasm. We feel
that the interest in modern dance
on campus should be given a fair
chance to grow and express itself.

Right now it is severely handi-

‘capped by the fact that there is

‘only one two-hour class a_ week,
and that the class must of neces-
sity include’ both ° beginners and
advanced. The disadvantages. of
this system’ are obvious. Modern
dance has long wanted to be rec-
ognized on campus and _ treated
equally with the other sports. It
should have at least three classes
a week and be planned.in the reg-
ular gym schedule. Now is the

time for modern dance to come in-
to its own. *;
Sincerely,
Georgiana Wiebenson

Beveridge Unemployment Plan
Fails to Present Solution
For Democracy



by Nancy Morehouse "AT

The title of Sir William Bever-
idge’s new book Full. Employment
in a Free Society, is rather an an-
omaly, for the free society envis-
aged in it is a far cry from tradi-
tional laissez-faire conceptions or
even the modified views of many
advocates of limited government
economic policy. Basically it as-
“sumes an appreciation of. respon-
sibility and a denial of self-interest
hitherto undreamed-of in.a demo-
cratic society, an assumption whic
historical experience may readily
question.

Unemployment Problems

Sir William arrives, by an analy-
sis of statistical records of unem-
ployment, at a Keynesian view of
the problems of modern economic
society: there is a fundamental
chronic deficiency of demand ac-
centuated by the misdirection of
industrial demand for labor and
by the disorganization of the labor
market. To solve this problem he
proposes, (1) the planning by the
government of sufficient expendi-
ture or outlay to eliminate the
basic deficiency of demand and to
make the labor market “a seller’s
market rather than a buyer’s mar-
ket;” (2) government direction of
industrial location and of private
investment, and (3) better organ-
ization of the labor market through
employment exchanges.

The great majority of these
government activities are to be
handled by a Ministry of National
Finance, which will plan public out-
lay through publicly owned indus-
tries,.government distribution ag-
encies and public works so as to
provide, with the estimated demand
created by private business activ-
ity, more jobs than there are men
to fill them. Sir William takes
manpower as his central economit
agent and builds the rest of the
“economy in relation to its needs
and conditions, while allowing la-
bor considerable freedom of move-
ment.

“ Mobility vs. Rigidity

The fundamental question raised
by the Beveridge plan is whether
the planning authorities can be
held or, rather, will remain within
the limits prescribed in the theo-
retical explanation. They are at-
tempting to create stability in a
partially rigid, partially flexible
society, a difficult_proposition to
begin with;‘and it would be a nor-
mal human reaction to wish to
eliminate any risks bearing on the
effectiveness’ of their plan, risks
which would be created by a mobile
labor supply. By their control of
investment, a control which will
tend toward rigidity, they will be
making stationary the superstruc-
ture of society while permitting it
to rest on the fluid base of a flex-,
ible labor supply. Rather than risk
the crash of the whole set-up, it

ties will attempt to impose limits
on the movement of labor.

Even permitting a mobile labor
market, the effect of this scheme
would be to eliminate practically
all movement between the classes,
to create a_ stratified society.
Those who wish to enter the man-
agement of industry cah no longer
do so by forming a new company;
their only opportunity will be to
rise through the ranks of existing
management. The limitations on
individual initiative of Sir Wil-

-liam’s plan-are so-great as tobe
intolerable to many; and though
the problem of unemployment

-

must be faced, it is to be hoped :

that it can be solved in a manner
more compatible with the contin-
ued existence of a _— free so-

and anthropology, the theoretical
and the practical, the former pre-
dominating in undergraduate
study. Jobs of the theoretical na-
ture are available in private and

government research agencies. In

the field of applied sociology, the
social services present wide oppor-
tunities for women.

Stressing the importance of his-
tory in a liberal arts education,
Mrs. Manning said that-it is par-
ticularly valuable in giving a stud-
ent a broad . knowledge of» world
problems. This knowledge would
be very useful in journalism, busi-
ness, and government administra-

tion.

Politics as a major offers good
training for citizenship and par-
ticipation in_ political organiza-
tions, said Mr. Wells. Politics ma-
jors are also well\\ equipped for
government service, and many jobs
are open to them in this field.

In his discussion of Economics
as a major, Mr. Hubbard pointed
out that undergraduate workin it
is largely theoretical, but partic-
ularly useful as an ally for ones
majors.

Conferees Consider
Post-War Germany



Specially contributed by
Hannah Kaufmann ’45
and Dorothy Bruchholz °46

The International Relations Club
of Mt. Holyoke College sponsored
a Big-Seven (Conference at Mt.
Holyoke, February 23 and 24 on
“Germany in the Post-War. World”,
at which Bryn Mawr was_repre-
sented by Hannah Kaufmann ’45,
Kate Marshall ’46, and Dorry
Bruchholz ’46.. Our delegates were
serit, by the War Alliance. Among

the er colleges represented
were Smith, Vassar, and Bar-
nard.

The three sessions were led by
the two speakers, Dr. Sigmund
Neumann of Wesleyan College and
Dr. Friederich Foerster. The con-
ference opened Friday evening. ,
with an address by Dr. Foerster,
who stated that Nazism is a com-
bination of Prussian militarism and
romantic pan-Germanism.. Dr.
Neumann then spoke, emphasizing
that the German problem must
not be oversimplified by looking
for a quick panacea.

The morning session was devot-
ed to two round-table discussions,
each led by one of the speakers.
The political, economic, and educa-
tional phases of the problem were
then taken up in turn.. Dr. Foer-
ster stood firmly for political dis-
memberment of Germany, and de-

‘Lindustrialization with a return to

an agrarian economy. Consider-
able student opposition to these
views was voiced at the round-ta-
ble. Dr. Neumann’s group was
opposed to dismemberment and to
deindustrialization, and expressed
approval of the Yalta agreement
as to the occupation of Germany.

THE COLLEGE NEWS







INCIDENTALLY





Trust in Human Nature

Two naive Freshmen unexpect-
edly learned what important things
forgetful Bryn ‘Mawr students
may leave behind. Arriving for
tea at the’Inn, they found a pair of
glasses anda pack of cigarettes on
the table. Trusting that the am-
nesial owner would return for the
fhissing articles, they calmly turn-
ed to thoughts of food. Less than
a quarter of, an hour later, their
intuitions were rewarded when a
girl approached them and inquired
if there had-been a pack of cigar-
ettes on the table. The honest
freshmen returned both cigarettes
and glasses: Startled, the student
exclaimed, “and my glasses, too.”
Then by way of explanation, she
declared that next she would prob-

. ably forget her soul.

vested in. the President and the
seven members constituting the
*Executive Board. The Board at-
tempts to find out how the student
body feels about current problems
and issues, and what the general
reaction is to campus activities. If
it is necessary or useful, the vari-
ous opinions and criticism are
passed on, anonymously of course,
to the administration and faculty,

pus reaction. The Board also_at-!
tempts to pass on suggestions
made by Undergraduates, to the
person or persons, in whose field
the suggestion falls. In a similar
way, the administration, faculty
and, alumni use the Executive
Board to pass on their ideas to the
‘Undergraduate Body. In order to
carry out this representative func-
tion with the highest efficiency,
the Board must have an interest-
ed, cooperative studént body who
will ‘use it to the fullest extent.

The function of the Association
as the co-ordinating element in
campus activities is more obvious
and is easier to define. Undergrad
co-ordinates all student activities
on campus except those activities
included in the more specific fields
of the League, the Alliance, and
the A. A. The absence of specific
limits to its. field of attivity en-
ables Undergrad to include within
its sphere, the “odds and ends” of
campus activity, such as Lantern,
Lantern Night procedure and other
miscellaneous jobs. The President
of the Association is the Chairman
of the College Council, and of the
Undergraduate Council, emphasiz-
ing the unifying character of the
Association. The Vice-President
and the, First Junior Member ar-
range for campus. entertainment,
such as dances and movies, and
the entertainment of servicemen. on
campus.

In peacetime the entertainment
programme is far more extensive,
including assemblies on all topics,
and concerts. The Finances of the
Association are administered by
the Common Treasurer, and are
complicated, since Undergrad pays
most of the paid student jobs on
‘campus. In this way, jobs which
are’ for the convenience of the
student body are paid for out of
student dues. These jobs include

Cynical Sideline

In an advanced philosophy course
last week, one discouraged pro-
fessor surveyed. his sleepy ten
o’clock class. They were startled
awake by a cynical remark, “there
is nothing living in this room.” He
expostulated further along the
same line by declaring that this
campus is “charming”, only be-
cause there are a few trees left,



a check on their activities, making |

any unnecessary suggestions. There
are three language clubs, French,
Spanish, and German, the Glee
Club, the Varsity Players Club, the
Radio Club, the Science Club, the
Stage Guild, and other smaller
clubs such as the Art Club, the
Camera Club, the Modern Dance
Club and the Catholic Club. The
Committee Heads are appointed by |
the President, with the help of the’

of the Curriculum Committee, who
is elected by herncommittee. The
Curriculum and Freshman Week
committees are perhaps the two
most important committees, . But
others of almost equal importance
are the Cut Committee, headed by
the college-elected sophomore
member ,of the Executive Board,
and the Employment-Bureau which
is in charge of student employ-
ment. The Vocational Committee,
the Point Committee, the Record
Library Committee and the Furni-
ture Sale Committee are other com-
mittees e Undergraduate As-

sociation. The Board sees that they |

are active, progressive and effic-
ient. .Much of the “dirty work” of
student- activities is done by the
Executive Board. The Point Com-
mittee work, which keeps a check
on. the number of offices held by
any one person, the work of: the
Ushering Committee, the keeping
of the schedules of college activi-
ties, and of undérgraduate - meet-
ings, the May Day arrangements
are-all typical of the heterogene-
ous, routine jobs done by the mem-
bers of the Executive Board.

The routine jobs of the Execu-

tive Board are many and varied,
but their most important job is
that of filling the sole of Repre-
sentative of the remainder of the
members of the Undergraduate
Association, to the best of their
