Present System

()f Library Rules
To be Enforced

The Books on Reserve
Must Be Used
In Library

Student complaints concerning
the inerenay carelessness in the
use of reserved books resulted in
a meeting with the Undergradu-.
ate Council and college authorities
to determine whether the existing
library rules were adequate or
whether stricter measures were
called for. The meeting decided
that the present system, if coop-
erated with and enforced, would
fulfill the needs of the college.

The Undergraduate Council has
decided to use student channels
such as the College News and hall
meetings to call attention to the
library rules. The College author-
ities are prepared to enforce these
rules and will continue to publicize
them as they see fit, since the lib-
rary is not under student jurisdic-
tion but merely supported by stud-
ent organizations.

Reserve books are to be used in
the Reading Room unless special
permission is given to take them
elsewhere. If books from the re-
serve shelves are to be taken any-
where else in the library a note on
the slip stating its whereabouts
must be attached so that it may
be located at any time. Books are
not to\be taken from the library
except en signed out for over-
night use.

In a meeting with the college au-
thorities and the Undergraduate
Council it was pointed out that
Bryn Mawr is one of the few col-
leges to have open stack privileges
so that the students may make
their own selection of books they
wish to use. Rather than have
books handed out over a desk by
librarians, which would tause con-
siderable delay in receiving # de-
sired book, and confusion, crowd-
ing and limiting ‘individual rights
where the reserved books are con-
cerned, students must not only co-
operate with the present rules as
they now stand, but must also re-.
alize that the authorities plan to
enforce these rules.

marked Miss Marietta Taylor when
asked for her reactions to the re-
cent campus blackout.

they flared and then they slowly
died. (imbic!). \

The News was even more upset
when it learned that one (1) gen-
tleman was asleep and/or dead in
the Undergrad Room. Several
more intrepid members ventured
into an adjoining corridor—but to
no avail, under cover of darkness
the body had escaped.

Many of the students did not no-

For the information of the in-

Arts Night To Be
Held March 7th
For BMC Fund

The date for Arts’ Night has
been tentatively set for Friday,
March 7. (In-order to avoid inter-
ference with the Yale “prom” the
following evening, this will be the
only performance). The program
is a summary of creative expres-
sion on campus in all the arts. Par-

ticipating will be: the art group; |

the double octet; the modern dance
group; the orchestra; Varsity
Players; and the playwriting class,
which will provide original scripts.
Each group will operate indepen-
dently and be responsible for its
own part of the program.
dition, a collaborative project may
be experimented with this year,
possibly a “verse drama’ perform-
ed by dancers.

This year the program is at-
tempting to be self-supporting.
The Undergraduate Association has
set the general admission at $.75,
with proceeds to go to the: Alum-
nae Drive after expenses have been
paid. An undergraduate produc-
tion manager has been appointed,

Elizabeth Dowling ’47, to handle‘

publicity, programs, tickets, and
especially to advise on and unify

the program. Louise Belknap ’49,

has been chosen stage manager and

will be in charge of the entire’

Vivid Technique

-|Of Robert Shaw

Inspires Chorus
by Helen Anderton ’49

It would be almost impossible to
write an adequate account of Mr.
Robert Shaw, director of the Col-
legiate Chorus, and the evening he
devoted to the direction of the
Haverford, Swarthmore, and Bryn
Mawr choruses. Despite his youth
he is unquestionably one of the fin-
est musicians of our day. If one
were to see him just conduct, and
listen attentively to the results he
brings, there would be enough
grounds for this statement. But
when one is given the opportunity
Pfo watch him impart his under-
standing of music to those he is
directing, then one.can fully real-
ize his remarkable gifts. He point-
ed out, during the course of the
evening, that when a person sings
| he is not merely emitting a series
of sounds, he is enjoying a unique
,experience, in that every note
sounded is an experience in itself.
| Surely the truth of his words hits
' home, for as soon as he said it the
_effectiveness-of-the- chorus increas-
'ed tremendously. It was almost as



|if each member were giving every
‘sound the special consideration Mr.
'Shaw deemed worthy.

Exactly how does Robert Shaw
‘achieve his results? In the first
place he is such a dynamic figure
that one’s attention is never al-
lowed to stray very far. He is the
type of person that commands at-
tention, and gets it. He can make
a hilariously funny joke, and the

Reports on Conf.

Carol McGovern 748, Bryn Mawr’s
delegate, was among the five hun-
dred students representing three

United States who assembled at
the University of Chicago on De-
ecember 28-30 to form the general
plan for a National Student Or-
ganization The idea for such an
organization was formed by the
American delegates who attended
the Prague Conference of Students,
which in turn formed an Interna-
tional Union of Students (IUS).

Stressing the importance of in-
ternational co-operation among
students, the basic aims of the
NSO will be the promotion of stud-
ent government in colleges, inter-
national exchange and travel, and
the. granting of student scholar-
ship aid.

The Chicago Conference set up
a National Continuations Commit-
tee (NCC) which would, on the
suggestions of the conference, pro-
mote the general aims of the NSO
and draft a constitution. This con-
stitution will be voted on in the
June Constitutional Convention.

The delegates, first meeting in a
mass plenary session, divided into

Princeton Wins
Military Training
Debate Wtih B. M.

- The Bryn Mawr Debating Club
held its first debate on Thursday
evening, January 9th, in the Com-

mon Room. The debate, Resolved:
The United States Shall Have Per-
manent Peacetime Militaty Train-

ing, was with Princeton Univer-
sity. Jean Ford and Nancy
Schwartz made up the Bryn Mawr
team which took the affirmative
side of the question. Geoffry War-
ren and Al Rothwell spoke for the
negative side. It was interesting
to note that both members of the
Princeton team wore discharge
buttons.

Jean Ford opened the debate,
stating the case for the affirma-
tive. She said that the U. N. did
not offer enough security for peace,
as it had no provisien for an inter-
national peace force. The affirma-
tive side felt that a volunteer army
is an insufficient protection.

Geoffry Warren began the argu-
ment for’ the negative side, empha-
sizing thatthe plan was “perma-
nent” and not just for. a-ten-year
emergency period. The Princeton
team felt that a regular army of
500,000 would be adequate to man
our bases. Our present army has
800,000 -men. The negative side
advocated a government financed
scientific program with technical
training in the,school systems to
| provide security in the present
type of scientific warfare, and to
be a good training for peace.

The next speaker for the affirm-
ative was Nancy Schwartz, who
called attention to the danger of
political action outside of the
U. N. She said that the United
States needed a larger’ military
force to command the respect of
the other nations, and also so that
it should not be helpless should
the U. N. break down. Peacetime
conscription would not cause dis-

Toynbee to Give

Flexner Lecture

Series in 1947

Lectures Will Describe
Clashes Between
Civilizations

Professor Arnold J. Toynbee,
author of A Study of History, will
present the Mary Flexner Lectures
in 1947. The six Jectures, which
will begin February 10, will later
be published in further volumes of
the Study of History. The series
is entitled “Encounters Between
Civilizations.”

“Professor Arnold Toynbee,”
writes Mrs. Manning, “is a unique,
even a lonely figure in the histor-
ical world today.. If the Survey
of International Affairs beginning
in 1920 and coming down to 1938
were his only contribution to
scholarship he would rank as one
of the half dozen really great
scholars of contemporary history,
the greatest probably because of
the breadth. of his knowledge. and
the penetration of his historical
judgments... If he had written only
the Study of History, he would
stand almost alone among living
historians in having attempted to
discover a pattern in human affairs
which can explain and illuminate
the development of all civilizations
since the first recorded events on
the banks of the Nile and the Eu-
phrates.”

“His fundamental thesis in ex-
plaining the origin and develop-
ment of civilizations—the principle
which he has labelled Challenge-
and-Response—is remarkably sim-
ple and concrete. That there must
be an equilibrium between the dif-
ficulties facing a community of
human beings and their equipment

techniques before there can be

Soona Sehicki Kili, a junior now
living in Low Buildings, arrived in
New York from Turkey in the mid-
dle of December. The fifteen-day
voyage was rough and stormy: “We
slept in the crew’s hammocks; they
swung around all night, and the
smell of the cafeteria was most
unpleasant to me as I lay there be-
ing sick. Mediterranean storms
‘are not much fun.”

On board were thirty Egyptian
and Turkish Students, bound for
American universities; their fam-
ilies had saved and sacrifieed for
years to pay for an American ed-
ucation. The rate of exchange is
4infavorable, (three Turkish dol-
lars to one ‘American dollar), and
only a small proportion of the stu-
dents who dream of coming to the
United States ever get here. Soona
herself has wanted to come for
‘eight years, since she was first jn
high school. “We look to the Unit-
ed States as our model now, in th
way we used to look toward France.
An American education will be of
great benefit for anyone who
hess to help Turkey.”

she would like an assistant-pro-
fessorship in international law at
the University of Istanbul (“I think
we respect professors more than
you do,” said Soona with a smile);
to enter the diplomatic service,
where she can use her knowledge
of ‘German, French, and English;
or to take an active part in Tur-
kish politics, on which she is clear-
ly much better-informed than the
average Bryn Mawr student about

Soona’s room in Low Buildings
is tastefully decorated with mosaic
vases, excellent pictures of Istan-
bul, the Bosphorus, and the Amer-
ican college she attended in Tur-
“key; and hand-made cloths. She
was moved by the reception she
got on arrival: “The students did
not look at me like a stranger be-
cause I come from Turkey; they
are interested in what I say, and
they ask me intelligent questions.

Common Room, Jan. 6. In dis-
cussing American occupation pol-
icy, Dr. Felix Gilbert, Lecturer in
History, who has recently returned
from Germany, compared it with
those of the other Allied powers
in Germany.

The de-Nazification feafu re. of
the American occupation ‘ policy,
opposed by some of the other na-
tions, has prevented all those who
were members of the Nazi party
| before 1937 from holding any of-
fice or supervisory position. This
system has not been carried out in
the other zones in the same way.
The Russians, direct ,their de-

dustrialist and land-owning class-
es, instead of against individuals.

Democratization

Our policy also includes the dem-
ocratization of German life. In al-
Jlowing Germans in our zone to
conduct free elections; and in per-
mitting the local legislatures to ex-
ercise more than merely advisory
power, we have been more liberal

General Marshall’s Appointment

State and the appointment of General Marshall to succeed

him leaves Americans faced with the disconcerting fact of a

ant diplomatic office at a crucial stage in her international
relations.

We do not question this because of General Marshall’s

personal qualifications. He appears a man of top caliber and

tion and believes in the goals toward which Mr. Byrnes has

been striving. Rather, we must regard the appointment in|

Why in the second year of the peace is it necessary for|

a military man to represent the United States in her rela-

| tions abroad? Other nations may interpret this step in an|

unfavorable manner. Why is there no civilian who can be
considered competent for this post?

npn $ apparent lack of civilians with the proper qualifi-
cations to carry out so important a fanction indicates that
something is wrong with the very set-up of our foreign serv-
ice. Is it that the President did not look far enough in mak-
ing this appointment but chose a rather obvious public fig-

'— ure? Is it that the State Department in its present condi-

tion is unable to train top statesmen? Or is it that the salaries
it has to offer are insufficient to attract men of ability and re-
ward them for good work?

Such a situation cannot be ak We should not be
forced to name a military man as the leader in our work for
international peace.

To the Editor:

There has been an increase of
carelessness in the use of reserved
books. In order that every one
understands the rules, I would like
to have the following announcement
in the College News.

All books taken from the Re-
serve Book Room must be signed
for. It is necessary to have the
signature in order to locate a book
at any time. The penalty for tak-
ing books uncharged is suspension
from College.

Reserve books are to be used in
the Reading Room, unless_ special
permission is given’ to take them
elsewhere.

If the students will observe these
rules it will be a great convenience
to the student body as a whole.

LAST NIGHTERS

Cocteau’s Play Suffers
From Bad Translation;

Bankhead is Superb |
by Barbara Bettman ’49

Somehow it is difficult to justify
a French playwright who in 1947
writes an eighteenth century ro-
mance, and this is what Jean Coc-
teau has done in the new play at
the Forrest, “The Eagle Has Two
Heads.” Mr. Cocteau’s two heads
in this case are Tallulah Bankhead
and Helmut Dantine, without whom
the eagle could never have launch-
ed what I imagine will be its rath-
er short-lived flight.

The plot involves Miss Bankhead
as.Queen of a somewhat nebulous
state; her hisband having been
assassinated on their wedding day,

_|she has lived with his ghost’for ten

years. The young revolutionary
who @# sent to kill her on the tenth
anniversary of the king’s death,
bears an incredible resemblance to
the king—and now to go on with
the story. The Queen announces
in her twenty-minute soliloquy
(which should soon equal in notor-
iety that speech of Mr. Eugene
O’Neil’s principal character in his
current Broadway experiment) that
she intends to make her life a trag-
edy; this she achieves successfully
in one of the longest, least grace-
ful, and most talkative death scenes
ever brought to the theatre,

Play Successful Abroad

“The Eagle Has Two Heads” was
highly successful in Paris. One is
led to believe that the translation
may be at fault, and this belief is
strengthened by such anachronisms
as “running bogrd” and an ex-
tremely jazzy trumpet fanfare.
Translationese runs rampant; the
predicate adjective always precedes
the subject; and-such efforts at
Oscar Wilde for the masses as “A
little love is part death ‘but'a great
love is suicide” are uncomfortable.
It might be well to note also here
that the use of the word “bitch”
has become so overworked as to
have no meaning except a still un-
pleasant sound.

Bankhead Superb

Tallulah herself is magnificent.
however; her presence is as com-
pelling as that of anyone on the
‘American stage today, and she is
admirably suited to the role of
queen. She seems convinced of
her unconvincing part and hers is
the voice for the few beautiful
lines of the play. Dantine is an ex-
cellent Stanislas, who came to kill
but remained to love, and the sup-
porting characters are good, their
super-dramatics no doubt justified
by the super-dramatism of the
play. Donald Oenslager’s sets are
| handsome, and Aline Bernstein’s
costumes likewise, But “The Eagle
Has Two Heads” is another play
to be added to the long list of this
season’s offerings whose actors are
too good for their vehicle and whose
authors have turned out plays far
below their usual standards.

lowing letter, received by Alison
Barbour, will be of interest to
everyone who heard Senator Ha-
bachy’s lecture on December 12th.
“Dear President,

I want to thank you for your
kind letter and to acknowledge re-
ceipt of the cheque to cover my
traveling expenses.

One thing I should like to men-
tion, and this is that over and
above my appreciation of the hon-
our you did me, I got far more
pleasure from talking to and with
the Alliance than I could have pos-
sibly given.

May I ask you to accept the
small contribution for which I en-
close a cheque to the funds of the
Alliance. You will excuse me if
the sum is insignificant because of
the restrictions and difficulties of
obtaining “hard currency.” Please
interpret my move only as a token
of good will and keen interest in
the activities of your association.
Will you be good enough to reiter-
ate my best thanks to the officers
of the Alliance for their extreme
courtesy and kindness.

Yours very sincerely,
Saba Habachy.”

The check was for one hundred

dollars. :

He has the ability to carry people
with him. In other words one fol-
lows his moods as if one were ex-
periencing them directly. He can
make a chorus feel what he him-
self feels, and that is no mean
achievement. If the experience be-
comes exhausting at times, it is
only because we are seldom forced
to go through such rapid transi-
tions. He is almost a human dy-
namo in that his energy never stops
flowing. He is so wrapped up in
the task at hand that days might

Due to reported communist in-

disagreement came up as to wheth-

Throughout the panel discussion

thesis, in his many descriptions of
the environments in which human
nature has risen to unexampled
heights, in his tracing of the paths
by which the torch of progress has
been handed on from one civiliza-
tion to another, and his his inter-
pretations of human psychology
along the way has far transcended
the implications of his ‘original
thesis. Again it is the universality
of his knowledge, the accuracy and'

ical writing which make the Study
