Beck to Analyse
Theory of Value
In Kant’s Philos.

Dr. Lewis W. Beck, Associate
Professor of Philosophy at the
University of Delaware, will speak
to the Philosophy Club on Decem-
ber 9th,..at 8:30, in the Com-
mon Room. The subject of his lec-
ture, “Freedom and Purpose of the
Person in Kant”, will be Kant’s
theory of value and will be based
on Article 77 of the Critique of
Judgment.

-Professor Beck, who is at pres-
ent making a new translation of
Kant’s Ethics, to be published by
the University of Chicago press,
has also written books on Ethics,
Epistomology and Methodology,
and has contributed to the Journal
of Philosophy. Professor Beck is
a graduate of Emery University
and received his doctorate from
Duke University. He was a Julius
Rosenwald fellow in 1937-38 and
studied at the Kaiser Friedrich in
Berlin.

Ushenko Defines —
His Perspective
Theory of Truth

Dr. Andrew P. Ushenko of the
Department of Philosophy at
Princeton, in the fourth de Laguna
lecture, set forth his Perspective
Theory of Truth by proposing that
there are “alternative truths”, i. e.
all propositions are derived from
some point of view. He pointed
out the affinity of this theory with
the “coherency” theory which,
however, maintains that perspect-
ive is never short of absolute
knowledge, whereas the perspect-
ive theory limits-the perspectives.

Dr. Ushenko grouped the evi-
dence for His theory under two
headings: 1) that—whatever we
know we classify, and classification
is based on resemblance or simil-
arity, but whether or not two
things resemble one another de-
pends on the point of view; 2) that
all our data are records from the
past, but the perspective on past
events is always changing. The
objection that the past would have
no reality except in perspective
within the ever-changing present
points out the danger of subject-
ivism in this theory. We must find
which view gives ‘the. real truth
among the alternative perspectives.

According to Dr. Ushenko there
are three requirements: 1) if there
are alternative perspectives on the
same object, the object cannot
possibly resemble any of them; 2)
in spite of the fact that there are
divergent aspects which do not re-
semble one another, yet.they.must
. be carrelated in the sense of “con-

gruency” so that one can predict

English Team Routs BM, 23-0;
Excels in Speed, Coordination

by Lenci Abell 750

On: Saturday, November 22 the
Bryn Mawr hockey team played
the All England Touring Team at
Bryn Mawr. The final score was
23-0 in favor of the English.

The game was a display of ex-
cellent hockey skill on the part of
both teams and of the individual
players. Every member of the
Bryn Mawr team should be con-
gratulated on her playing against

Blackburn Urges



individual Talent |

In Creating Art

Goodhart, Common Room, De-
cember 1: Stressing the elements
of “Momism” stil left in art from
the academic mévhods, Mr. Morris
Blackburn spoke here today on
“Creative Aspects of Painting”.
Some of Mr. Blackburn’s paintings
were on display; more are being
exhibited at present at the Phila-
delphia Art Alliance.

Mr. Blackburn opened his talk
by mentioning the excellent .and
promising work now being done in
the Art Studio in the Cornelia Otis
Skinner Workshop—better work,
he confessed, than he had expected
to find. Painting is an adult ac-
tivity, he went on to say, although
it is infantile in some respects.
Our dependency on the traditional
ruling force of Mother Nature (the
“Mom” element again) is an illus-
tration of this infantilism; break-
ing away from this dependency
has been the whole tendency and
effort of modern art movements.

Everyone is interested in a con-
tinuum, Mr. Blackburn stated. We
see this in its broadest sense in the
universal wish for self-perpetua-
tion through the family, and in a
more specific, artistic way in mu-
sic, where silence is as important
as actual sound.

The modern painter’ should not
look for .a “set-up” to copy down
onto his canvas; rather he should
begin to paint and at some point
he will find a part of himself from
which he will be able to continue.
Representational painting, after
all, does not really capture the ob-
ject. We may paint a tree, and
learn something from it, but when
we go home the tree remains.

Don’t Run a Mile:
A Card’s on File

Take notice, hungry Bryn Mawr-
tyrs! It will soon be possible to
go to the Soda Fountain penniless,
when the new credit system goes
into effect. Cards with 5, 10-and
15 cent sections (resembling a com-
mutation ticket) will be sold by
hall representatives for $1.00 each.

The amount of any purchase will
be punched on the card, .until it is
used up. These credit cards may
be kept on file at the Soda Foun-
tain itself. They will be available
for cash, as soon as they are print-
ed, Sally Worthington and Dotty

Sloane, heads of the Soda Foun-|.

tain, have announced.

Remember, all profits of the
Soda Fountain go to the Bryn
Mawr Summer Camp. The Foun-
tain is open Sunday through Fri-
day, at 9.30, and also from 4.00 to
5.00, for that tea-time “quickie.”
And don’t forget the Juke Box in
the Rumpus Room next door
(strictly cold cash here).

an excellent team. Each member
of the team fought well in her own
capacity to make an exciting game
for the players as well as for the
two hundred spectators.

The first three English goals
were scored in the opening: five
minutes of the game, rte the
Bryn Mawr team came back with
a threat to the English goal. Betsy
Parker got the ball and raced down
the field toward scoring position,
but the English backs were able to
prevent ‘her from shooting for the
goal, and they cleared the ball
back to the middle of

threatened the English goal. Betsy
Parker again took the ball into
English territory. Then Jane Stone
and Sylvia Hayes each had a
chance of scoring after they were
able to get past the English backs,
but, as before, the English were
able to get possession of the bail.
At the end of the 30 minute half
the score was 12-0.

One noticeable thing about {the
English playing was the fact Inat
they very seldom dribbled down
the field, but elie pas in-
stead. Their passifig ability was
really a fine spectacle for each
hard drive always seemed to reach
the right person at the right time,
as if each play had been carefully
planned out beforehand. The
swiftness of the English team was

another of their many abilities.

American Hockey

With Their Game

Following the buffet supper giv-
en at the Deanery on November 22

Margaret-Lodge, captain of the
team, and Miss Joan Warwick,
coach and manager, remarked on
the differences between English
and American hockey. They be-
lieve that these contrasts account
in part for the undefeated success
of the English team and for the
American team would
been defeated by
9 edllege team.

The first point brought out was
that the English hit the ball much
harder and with a more decisive
stroke and aim than the American
hockey player. Secondly, the Eng-
lish hit to the right as easily and
as often.as they hit to the left,
while the American. player —hits
only to the left when she is tired,
| since that position is much easier.
|The English player expects this
_and therefore can plan her strat-
‘egy and that of the team according
\to this type of drive.

Finally, the forwards on _ the





back line when the backs are hard
pressed, as the English team does.

The field hockey season in Eng-
land lasts longer than that in

he English play for six months
while Americans play for only two
months. Furthermore, the All
English Women’s Hockey Associa-
tion is celebrating its 50th anni-
versary, while the U. S. Field Hoc-
key Association is celebrating its
25th. Thus the English team has
an organized foundation and back-
ground that is twice as old as ours.
The English coach commented,
however, that she had seen a defi-
nite improvement in American
field hockey since 1936.

Haverford, BM.
Will Offer ‘Lear’
December 13,14

Shakespeare’s Relative
Plays Title Role in
Uncut Version

; On December 13 and 14, the
Bryn Mawr Varsity Players and
Haverford’s Cap and Bells will give
“King Lear”, with Edward O.
Shakespeare, a distant relative of
the author, in the title role. The



| play will be staged in Roberts

| Hall at Haverford and it will begin

_| promptly at 8 o’clock.

The play will be given in its en-
|tirety, Mr. Frederic Thon, the di-
| rector, has announced. The only
changes made will be for the sake
of clarification. About twelve
words such as “kibes”, i. e. chil-
plains, have had to be modernized.
The emphasis will be on Shakes-
peare’s poetry.

Authentic Staging

The staging of “King Lear” will
be bold, but authentic, Mr. Thon
‘continues. The play will take place
on a bare stage accentuated with
dramatic spot lighting. The splen-
did and colorful costumes are rent-
ed from Van Horn and Sons, Inc.,
a noted Philadelphia costumer. An
effort has been made to have the
robes as much as is possible like
those of early Britain. There will
be atmospheric background music
from the works of Sibelius.

The entire cast totals

Mid-morning “bracer” problems
are solved! Coffee in Taylor for
ten minutes after 10 and 11 o’clock
can ‘give you that convenient pick-
up in energy. There need no long-
er be the asthmatic panting and
knee weakness resulting from a
too-quick trip to the Inn. All this
and aid the Bryn Mawr College
Fund—1946, too.

Sell it and buy it. In both these
ways you help the Drive. “This is
a campus activity in which every-
body participates and from which
everyone can benefit”, points out
Ann Corcoran ’49; chairman of the
project.



Coffee Now Served In Taylor
To Drown Mid-Morning Blues

A different hall is in charge of
coffee sales each week. This hall
makes the coffee and serves it.
There are no cash problems in the
enterprise, no nickels or dimes roll-
ing down the main hall of Taylor.
It’s all on pay day. ‘Not even the
faculty pays cash when they buy;
so no great mathematical genius
is necessary for behind-the-counter
work. In fact you don’t even need
to be persuasive. Mid-morning
coffee in Taylor speaks for itself.

“A dime for a cup of coffee” will
help the Drive and help your con-
centration problems in morning



classes.

lof the Bryn Mawr Type, and when







Made To Order

During the past month there has been a general appeal
for a unifying interest in campus activities, a search for an

outlet for creative instincts. .Many suggestions have been
presented but one ‘made-to-order’ solution has been . over-
looked—the Bryn Mawr Alumnae Drive.

The Drive committee wants to raise money, but has not
insisted on any special means of collection. Just writing a
check or giving a cash donation not only wreaks havoc on an
allowance, but also is unsatisfying as a contribution. Doing
something concrete will make the Drive more real and create
a feeling of belonging to an extensive cooperative effortsSome
students have already taken the initiative by organizing the
sale of coffee in Taylor between morning classes; others have
volunteered to do odd jobs such as returning overnight books
to the Lib, running errands in the Vill, and knitting Christ-
mas gifts. The field is still open, however, and many more
projects are needed.

So looking at the Drive as a campus activity, here is an
opportunity to use our ingenuity—a way to try out our ideas
—-and, incidentally, a means of achieving the Drive’s primary
goal; increasing our professors’ salaries and improving our
college!

Turkey To Turkey |

The fable does not say what class it was the Spartan boy
had to sit through with a studiously blank face and a gnaw-

ing pain inside; apparently, however, he survived the ordeal
without making it too obvious to his professor and classmates
that his flesh was there under protest, while his spirit was
home in bed with a stiff slug of unmixed wine. His friends

were undoubtedly grateful to him for not adding his troubles
to theirs; may we model ourselves on him for
weeks. :

If we have seven papers, three quizzes, and a Christmas

play to get through, let us not increase the atmospheric damp
with tears. If we have half-a-dozen modern-dance classes

before we can get back to the old-fashioned kind we really

enjoy, let us at least be thankful we are not gutdoors in ten-
nis shorts. And if the path from one turkey to the next

seems unbearably long, and paved with an endless mosaic of

. poached eggs and toast, let us, nevertheless, tread it with
stoic indifference and deceptive gaiety. \

BMT in Fiction

(Eprtor’s Note: This is the first
of a series of articles to be pub-
lished weekly) :

Before we came to college, any-
way, we had a pre-conceived idea

we leave we will probably go out
under Rock Arch with a model of
the typical Bryn Mawr girl firmly
fixed in our minds, though she may
vary somewhat from the original
image.

I had been warned that she was
blue-stotkinged and horn-rimmed,
but that did not phase me as horn-
rims could be very distinguished

Current Events

November 24. “The border coun-
tries often have an unhappy exist-
ence”, stated Dr. Roger Hewes
Wells, Professor of Political
Science. Speaking on “Patterns of
Change in Eastern Europe”, Dr.
Wells compared the Big Three
countries, Great Britain, the Unit-
ed States, and Russia, to tailors
able to change the pattern of the
cloth of eastern Europe. At Yalta,
Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin
had decided that the Nazi pattern
must be. changed, and their Declar-
ation on Liberated Europe, drawn
on the principles of the Atlantic
Charter, guaranteed sovereign
rights to the smaller states of
eastern Europe.

“However,” continued Dr. Wells,
“it takes more than a paper con-
stitution to realize democracy”. He
cited as an example our failure to
establish true democracy in Eur-
ope after World War I. Dr. Wells
quoted sections of the newly estab-



erably worse. In her worst form,

the BMT was an incredible spec-
imen of over-developed brains and
an under-developed body. She wore
glasses, to be sure, but they were

steel-rimmed, and her hair was

either straight or frizzily perman-
ented, while her back curved over
the books she perpetually clutch-
ed to her flat bosom. For beauty)
she could only rival Lens, but she.

was a paragon of wisdom. She |

bered, especially she remembered.
She could quote Herodotus from
the Greek or from any other prim-
ary source to prove a point. The
only man who had ever interested
her was Zeno, or Samuel Johnson,
Sir Isaac Newton, or Nebuchad-
nezzer, and she would probably

consider me in the last analysis as
not very beautiful and awfully
dumb. All summer long I hoped
that there would be one or two
other.painted hussies, flibbergib-
bets like myself, with a taste for
strapless evening gowns and an
eye perpetually peeled for an at-
tractive man. I should not have
worried, for even the Dartmouth
authors of For Men Lonely have
found “enough feminine charm
here to repel all fears of hyper-
erudity” and that “although defin-
itely on the sophisticated side, girls
are girls... these are just a little
smarter.”

Cartoonists

There are a number of male au-
thors, who (though they have nev-
er attended Bryn Mawr) have a
clear conception of the BMT, posx
ibly inspired by some alumnae
their acquaintance. Most of us
know James Thurber’s cartoon,
one of those amorphous represen-
tations of the battle between the
sexes, which depicts a “femme fa-
tale” kicking her heels in the liv-
ing-room. She is surrounded by
a circle of entranced gentlemen
while an irate wife speaks to the
knot, of ladies standing in a cor-
ner: “She’s all I know about Bryn
Mawr and she’s all I have to
know.”

In the Pem West smoker is the
Carl Rose cartoon of a scene out-
side the library. Taylor tower rises
in the distance while a multitude
of Bryn Mawr girls, in pants and
long dowdy skirts with even long-
er droopy slips, cluster around a
chicly dressed girl in the fore-
ground. The caption reads:

“The Renaissance of a Rugged
Individual.

“The Bryn Mawr Sophomore who
rect Assessories on the Campus.”

While Mr. Thurber has pictured
a rugged individualist and labeled
her with Bryn Mawr, Mr. Rose has
the plodding Bryn Mawr students
staring wide-eyed at the individu-
alistic swan in their midst. The
writers are no more in accord tha



lished peace treaty with Bulgaria
to show the emphasis placed on
human rights and the fundamenta!
freedoms.

At present, there is no joint ac-
tion in the Allied Control Commis-
sion to help solve the problem of
how to stabilize spheres of influ-
ence in times of transition until
something permanent can be set-
tled.

In closing, Dr. Wells stated that
propaganda can lead to economic
warfare, which in turn can lead
to actual warfare. For this rea-

outlined, underlined, and remem-/.on he believes that President Tru-

man is right in wishing to continue
our shipments to Russia.

Debaters Desire

Cheering Cohorts

The Debate Club has an active
and ambitious season ahead, with
25 to 30 debates scheduled as well
as several conferences. In recent
debates the two-year-old club has
conquered Rosemont and Villanova
and lost, in a second Villanova bat-
tle, by only one point... The 16
members, headed by Pam Stillman,
feel that a larger audience would
inspire them to even greater tri-
umphs, so come. and cheer at the
next debates, on December 3rd and
4th.

Subjects so far have been the
Taft-Hartley Bill and Civil Liber-
ties; at the next debate the pros
and cons of World Federation will
be discussed.

‘Professional Attitude’’
Urged by Students
For Drive

To the Editor:

In view of last year’s successful
approach to” the’ Alumnae Drive,
it is disappointing to note the lack
of consideration in this year’s ef-
fort.

The negligible publicity of the
New York Theatre Benefit, for ex-
ample, is indicative of the ineffic-
iency in the administration of the
program. Little mention was made
in the New York papers of this
project, which seems to have been
undertaken without adequate prep-
aration. Invitations to the Decem-
ber first performance of Antony
and Cleopatra were mailed scarce-
ly, a month ago, and tickets were
not received, in some cases, before
last week. This lack of foresight
would seem detrimental to the suc-
cess of the Drive which depends
upon the good-will and cooperation
of the friends of the college.

Since the Drive is of fundamen-
tal importance to the college, we
believe it advisable to adopt a
more professional attitude in the
direction of its activities.

Ushenko’s Theory~
Limits Perspective

one aspect from another; 8) the
number of alternative aspects is
limited. The nature of the object
restricts the number of aspects.
Therefore the problem essential-

ly involves the nature of the ob-
ject itself. Dr. Ushenko interprets
it as being a “formal” nature which
enables one to correlate the as-
pects of it. The.object then is not
actual but potential. The perspect-
ive is a fusion of the fact and the
interpretation.

Dr. Ushenko concluded his lec-
ture by quoting Grace de Laguna
—that all knowledge is in some
perspective; the directed focusing
determines the dynamic perspe¢t-
ive. The object is more than the
aspect; it remains an inexhaust--
ible potentiality, and behind the
actual representation of perspect-
ive aspects there are potentialities
which condition the final aspect.

Develop your muscles and your

maternal instinct simultaneously

and spend an afternoon at the
Haverford Community Center. The
muscles get their workout under
the heading of transportation to
and from the Center, which is con-

‘siderably off the beaten track, in
Haverford. Unless you are a hiking
devotee, procure a bicycle by fair
means or foul. Invariably the tires
will be flat and you’ll spend a few
frantic moments trying to force
a little air in the tire with arm
muscles which are, in most cases,
rather flabby, if you have been ne-
glecting your daily dozen face.
After this chore is accomplished,
take to the road, and on the first
hill you will feel that your legs
too have a few flabby muscles. You
will feel them more the next day.

The Center is a brown house set
in a field on a small side road. On
our first visit we arrived early, and
since the children were still at
school, set out to brighten: up a

that a little strenuous exercise in

on our store of games: London
Bridge, Puss in the Corner, Mus-

played to the end of their partic-

of the older children, and from
then on all our problems were solv-
ed. We proceeded to have the time
of our lives playing games that
really had great potentialities.
They were even fun playing them
the way we did, with rules that
made very little sense. Five o’clock
came much too soon.

Maybe we’re not doing too well

peace among these children for

BM Teams Fail

“Brawn over brain
Has done it again!”

This was the melancholy cheer
that echoed over the hockey fields
of Bryn Mawr as football and soc-
cer played by Haverford with the
aid of hockey sticks overwhelmed
the more skilled but more delicate
Bryn Mawr squads. It is rumored
that the score of Monday’s game
between the footballers and Bryn
Mawr’s second hockey team was
3 to 1, while that of the other
match, played on Tuesday by the
first team, was 4 to 0.

Both games were played in an
atmosphere of chill, damp, and ut-
ter darkness. Haverford expressed
disappointment that the hockey
rules included “Tackling Verboten”
and aimed at each other rather
than at the goal. One Haverford
goalie was observed reposing hap-
pily against the goal-post and
playing with a yo-yo |

Camels because: “Camels suit me best all ways.”

For the same reason —

more people are smoking

Camels than ever before! A great new record for a

Try Camels. Discover for yourself why, with

Camels are the “choice of experience.”

Since the Alliance realizes that
the foreign students at Bryn Mawr
do not have sufficient opportunities
to see the sights around Philadel-
phia, or to meet and know Ameri-
can students on a social basis, it is
sponsoring projects under’ the
scope of the United Nations Stu-

dent Council and the IRC for this
purpose.
The United Nations Student

Council, the IRC clubs of Haver-
ford and Bryn Mawr and the lan-
guage clubs are jointly giving a
party for the foreign students of



on Friday night, December 5, at

~ Alliance Angles

Wyndham, from 8.30 to 12.00. A
program of dancing, games and re-
freshments will not only give the
foreign students an opportunity to
mix with and meet Americans, but
it will also introduce the American
students of the respective clubs to
an interesting, cosmopolitan social
atmosphere.

In addition to this party, the
United Nations~Student Council

plans further to provide sight see-
ing tours to points of special his-
torical interest in and around Phil-
adelphia, so the foreign students
can learn more from America than
courses alone offer.
