mandate of Syria and Lebanon,

- they established in each nation a

high commissioner, supported by a
large civil staff. This organiza-
tion was expected to’ cooperate

-with the native departmental au-

thorities, but. friction frequently
developed, ‘often interrupting the
government. This situation was
complicated further by the French
government’s ‘custom of sending
very inferior officials to Lebanon
and Syria.

The chief contribution of the
French has been in education. They
have carried their native tradition
of an excellent educational system
to the mandate, but in one respect

this has tended to be a disadvan-|

tage, as the emphasis on France
has tended to denationalize the
Lebanese and Syrian youth. —
Thé Arab future of these prov-
inces is complicated by British
declarations of independence on
their behalf and evident French
unwillingness to give up the man-
dates. Out of the confusion of
the last twenty years have arisen
two salient facts—that Arab na-
tionalism is a force which cannot
be ignored, and that the mandate
system established in the French
mandates has been unsueccessful.

B. M. Camp Counselors
Give Christmas Party

—_—-—

Common Room, Dec. 6. The an-
nual Christmas party for the child-
ren who attended the Bryn Mawr
camp this summer was held this
afternoon. All the children who at-
tended camp were asked, and were
met in Philadelphia by some of
the counselors to be brought out
to college.

Dr. Tselos played the role of
Santa Claus, and his young son
was the “assistant.” There were
presents for everyone, and a
Christmas tree with all the trim-
mings. ‘

After playing games, the child-
ren ate cakes, cookies and ice
cream. When they had had their
fill, and the camp songs had been
sung, they departed for home, the
strains of “Good Night to Little
Cho-Cho” echoing from the raft-
ers of the Common Room.

New Athletic Association Clubroom in Gym
To Provide-Hospitality for Visiting Teams



by Bettina Kluepfel ’°48

An old store room in the base-
ment of the gym will soon be .con-
verted into an attractive A. A.
room. The transformation will
provide a long-lacking place of en-
tertainment for various visiting
teams.

The chief difficulty in renovating
the store room lay in covering as
many of the numerous pipes as
possible. Although the room is
now merely painted space,: the
Committee, Miss Petts, Ty Wal-
ker °45, and Alice Hedge ’46, have
made plans for curtaining new
¢lear glass windows, providing a
rug, stuffed chairs, and even a
radio-victrola. In time a kitchen-
ette may be added, and Miss Petts
says that the A. A. will have their
own dishes.

When the college took in a hun-
dred extra students, a new infirm-
ary was built, a new science build-
ing put up, and an addition to the
library completed, but the begin-
ning of the war “curtailed any
plans for the gym. This year, the
swimming team cast aside their
old terry-cloth bathrobes, only to



Choir Meets Gobs

On Princeton Jaunt
Continued from page 1
regated from Princeton by a din-
ing room shortage, gulped hot
coffee and dinner, and ran for the
train. Taking a busman’s holiday,
they sang their throats hoarse to
the amazement of those returning
from New York at the end of an
obviously essential week-end. But
it remained for another conductor
to put the finishing touches on the
excursion. Staring in amazement
at the fifty singing females he evi-
ently felt called on to exhibit his
talents. Whereupon he _ walked
slowly up and down the aisle pro-
jecting his false teeth, both uppers
and lowers, out of his mouth and
spinning them on the end of his
tongue. Unfortunately, the Choir
did not look sufficiently impressed.
so he retired to the end of the car,
and delivered the words of his inner
soul. “Aw, go-on an’ sing! Sing
‘Hark the Herald Angels.’ It’s
beautiful, and I can’t live without
beauty.” The choir, avoiding the

teeth, began to sing.

“T feel that Bryn Mawr has not

situation will be remedied. ,

Lt. Charles Bolte
To Talk on Veterans

Continued from page 1

Foreign Wars. Bolte is a member
of the temporary executive com-
mittee of six honorably discharged
veterans, with ‘headquarters in
New York.

The preliminary statement of in-
tentions drawn up by the commit-
tee makes clear that though the

veterans are looking forward to

living a normal civilian life after
the war, they realize that “military
victoy does not automatically bring
peace, jobs, or freedom. To guar-
antee our interests, we must work
for what we want.” "To accomplish
this, the discharged mean to take
action to insure aid for vet-
erans, during demobilization, jobs,
through gocial security, the free-
doms, disarmament of the aggres-
sor nations, and continued unified
action of the United Nations.
The A. V. C. functions as a

clearing house of servicemen’s op-|

inions, which are editorially tied in
with the clearly stated, yet flexible,
aims of the organization...
