Cellist, Pianist
Reveal Talent
In Performance

Beethoven Sonata in A,
Chopin Ballade

Impressive
by Anne Greet 50

Last Sunday’s concert was dis-
tinguished by the talented playing
of Erling Bengtsson, ’cellist, and
Theodore Lettvin, pianist. The
high point of the afternoon was
Beethoven’s Sonata for ‘Cello and
Piano in A major.. The thunder of
Miss Ely’s piano and the shivery,
sad tones of the ’cello swept up the
red staircase and overflowed the
smali-music room and adjoining li-
brary. The players wisely did not
reduce their dynamics to suit our
trembling ears which soon adjust-
ed to the mighty crescendos. A
strange feeling of sympathy and
near participation in this passion-
ate music-making lay hold of the
audience as they watched the
blonde, sixteen-year-old ’cellist
play the Adagio Cantabile with
closed eyes and drifting bow—or
sigh rhythmically as his hand
twitched the strings and his friend
the pianist shook his head and
sang the Scherzo to himself.

Mr. Lettvin played the Bach,
Schubert and Chopin selections all
very well—especially Chopin’s Bal-

Miss McBride, Touring in West,
Feted By Alumnae From Texas

by Emily Townsend, ’50

As a Texas parent remarked to
Miss McBride, “These Texas girls
need currycombing, and _ Bryn
Mawr is a good place to do it.”
The President collected many “re-
freshing” opinions of the college
during her three-week tour in
Texas and Oklahoma, from which
she returned last Friday. The trip
was designed to get really distant
alumnae back in touch with Bryn
Mawr, and to interest western
schools in sending their students
here.

Job Possibilities
For Gov't Work
Revealed at Tea

Common Room, March 2.—The
Vocational Committee tea _ this
week outlined the possibilities for
jobs in federal and state govern-
ment. Mrs. Ruth Pennell, a Bryn
Mawr graduate, now working on
the Pennsylvania State Civil Serv-
ice Commission, declared that local
government needs the help of col-
lege-trained people in part and full
time jobs. There is constant.de-
mand for people with clerical and
stenographic abilities in various
agencies, and this is an excellent
way to learn the workings of the
government. Competitive examin-
ations are given at various times
during the year. There also are
opportunities for those who want
to work with children in the Wel-
fare Department, for those with
some knowledge of psychology in
the Department of Health, as well
as jobs in the Bureau of Statistics.

Mr. Henry F.-Hubbard-next-dis-
cussed possible jobs with the fed-
eral government. Speaking briefly
first about the international field,
Mr. Hubbard said that there are
some jobs with the UN, but that

Nancy Corkran Promises Policy
Of ‘Off-Campusing’ for Sinners

by Emily Townsend, ’50

“There won’t be any more cam-
pusing,” said the new Self-Govern-
ment» President. “We’re going to
have off-campusing instead. That
means a required date every night
in the week until two o’clock.”
Nancy Corkran has taken over her
new office with the resourcefulness
acquired during her recent term
as president of Rhoads and the
aplomb | inculeated by years of
faultless ushering in Goodhart.
“Once I mislaid the entire McBride
party,” she said beaming. “Crafty,
wasn’t it?”

That Corkran will prove a bal-
anced head of Self-Gov is obvious

om her past history. “You should

lege Council when I dropped the
ice cream and strawberries off my
knee . .. but that won’t happen
again.”

Corkran is aesthetically sensitive,
too. Upperclassmen still remember
distinctly her dynamic portrayal
of Platonic Love in ’50’s Rose
Among Thorns. “What were your
lines?’? we asked. “Oh, all about
beauty,” she said enthusiastically.
“Beauty this and beauty that .. .”

Corkran’s serious plans for the
future of Self-Gov are designed
to preserve the status quo. She
approves very strongly of the gen-

eral change in the method of judge- | _

ments this year: less emphasis is
placed on the abstract rule, more
on the individual circumstances. “I

At the University of Texas Miss
McBride dined with the Berrys,
and found “a very strong contin-
gent there.” Bryn Mawr is obvi-
ously not every Texan’s alma ma-
ter, however: Miss McBride re-
ports a conversation between two
western matrons overheard on a
diner: “My daughter went to
Hockaday, and she didn’t have any
trouble getting into Bryn Mawr,
either.” “Bryn Mawr! What’s
that?” “Texas humor is just fine,”
said Miss McBride.

Visiting ten cities in twenty
days, Miss McBride found her re-
ception extremely cordial. She
had lunches with alumnae, teas
with parents, and at night “just
plain parties.” On the whole, she
found Texas “very conscious of it-
self as a State;” it seems to feel
a good deal farther from Bryn
Mawr than Bryn Mawr does from
Texas.



189 League Polls
Approve Support
Of School, Camp

Of the poll slips that were passed
around to the whole college by the
League, only two hundred and
thirty-six were returned filled.
Four-fifths of these votes were in
favor of continuing Bryn Mawr’s
support to both the Bryn Mawr
Summer Camy and the Hudson
Shore Labor School. The rest of
the votes included some that were
for a decrease of support, and



some for no support at all. Forty-
eight students favored stopping
the support to the Labor School;
three students voted against sup-
porting the Summer Camp; all
presenting plausible reasons for
their vote, and some offering work-
able suggestions.

This poll was undertaken pri-
marily because of some complaints,
last year, of Bryn Mawr’s support of
these two branches of the League.
However, since only two-fifths of
the college population voted, the
poll cannot be considered to be
truly representative. It will never-
theless be taken into account in
the planning of the League’s bud-
get for next year.

“Foolish Notion” -

On Friday and Saturday nights,
March 18 and 19, the Drama Guild
will present Foolish Notion, by
Philip Barry, author of The Phila-
delphia Story. Foolish Notion is
an unusual comedy-satire upon the
theatre and the people who are
part of it. This play employs an
unusual stage device—it consists
of a series of entirely imaginary
scenes. Only a rise in music indi-
cates the beginning of the imag-
ined sequences. Jim Hapgood, a
soldier who has been away for six
years, telegraphs his ‘actress wife
that he is coming home. Each
character in the play then proceeds
to imagine to himself just what
Jim’s home-coming will be like.
Each one has a different notion of
what it will be like. Each scene
is a satire of a certain type of
stage writing and production. The
plot is finally resolved in a very
real, comical last scene. The cast
is as follows:

Jim Hapgood, the returning sol-
dier—Lee Haring.

Common Room: Monday, March
7, 7:15—“The Problem of Indone-:

Current Events by Miss Frances

Bryn Mawr.

Miss DeGraff talked about the

and the Republic of Indonesia, and
reviewed briefly the history of
these relations and the current.

Morning

Assembly

It is amazing how seldom the college meets together as
a whole. In the days of Miss Thomas, morning assembly was
an accepted institution and a delight. Many colleges have as-

semblies at least once a week.

Is there any reason why we

should not have them twice a month instead of twice a year?

We would like to hear Miss McBride and the Deans more
often. As respected figures in the educational world, they
would have interesting and valuable contributions to make
to our general knowledge, questions of new trends in educa-
tion, the activities of the Seven Colleges, the place of women
in the professions, and related topics which are interesting

to all of us. Members of the

faculty, speaking at these as-

semblies, could keep students informed on the latest develop-
ments in particular fields. Too much of our relationship with
the officials of the college is on a purely formal basis, from
which we learn little of the outside activities and policies of
Bryn Mawr. The college does not function as a unit.

There will probably be objections to the mere idea of re-
viving the morning assembly. Forestalling the chief one
quickly, assemblies would not involve any lack of sleep. When

breakfast doors close at 8:20,

it is no hardship to put on a

gown and get down to Goodhart by quarter to nine. And the
benefits would far outweigh the discomforts: a more fre-
quent submission to the traditional assembly pattern of
hymns, a prayer, a short address, and general announcements
might have a marked and positive effect on the feeling so
many of us have, of dissociation and isolation in our college

life.

To the Editor of the NEWS:

It has come to the attention of
the College that there is a misun-
derstanding about the College fire
Old and_ outdated
equipment, which included hoses,.
has been removed at the request of
the local fire company due to the:
fact that the fire company makes
all of its connections from hy-
drants outside the buildings.

equipment.

The only equipment recommend-

ed by the fire company and the
College Insurance Company is @
supply of fire extingushers, These
are furnished in the numbers rec-
ommended and placed at the loca-
tions designated by the Fire Insur-
ance Inspector. ‘The present Col-
lege equipment meets the require-
ments of the State and of the local
authorities and of the College In-
surance Company as well. The
College buildings and equipment
are inspected by the State and lo-
cal authorities and by the Insur-
ance Company.

The fire fighting equipment is
deigned to meet the small waste
paper basket blaze. In the event
of a real fire it is the earnest de-
sire of the College that the stud-
ents concentrate their efforts in
getting out of the building and
leave the fire fighting to the fire
company.

NOTICES

Language Houses

Students who are interested in
applying for rooms in the French
House, German House, or Spanish
House next year should make ap-
pointments with Miss Bree, Mrs.
Diez or Mrs. Marshall as soon as
possible, and not later than Fri-
day, March 25th, the day on which
spring vacation begins.

New Amplifier

Goodhart is blessed with a mar-
velous new amplifying system, in-
stalled in the front of the first arch
and controlled from the “organ
loft” to the left of the stage. Miss
Howe has guaranteed the new sys-
tem as being able to pick up the
words of the most timid and cow-
ering speaker, and booming them
out to the baleony. The concert
and the play will both use it.

Vocational Tea Reviews
Gov’t Job Possibilities

with the needs in terms of a par-
ticular agency. The turnover rate
in government work is high, and
so job opportunities are fairly high.
The number of federal agencies
is so great that there is almost
every kind of job to be found, and,
as in state government, the civil
service examinations form the
best way of securing an entry.
