States Unemployment Major Issue
State Senator George M. Leader,
Democratic candidate for Governor
of. Pennsylvania, told a group of
Bryn Mawr and Haverford stu-
dents that “The major issue in the
campaign this year is unemploy-
ment.” Senator Leader spoke at a
meeting held in Goodhart Hall on
Tuesday. ~
Commenting upon what he sail
ed an “economic blight over what
was originally the industrial ‘north-
east,” Leader called attention to
the gmall increase in industry ~in
Fenngylvania as compared to the
increase in the South. To revital-
ize industry .in the state, Sen.
Leader spoke in favor of lower
power rates, long-term leases for
companies on new buildings and |
plants, and an active State Plan-
ning ion,
In» to student questions
on the pl ht of the ¢oal industry,
Senator Leader said that he had
no-miracles for its récovery. He
stated that the primary reason for
the drop in the industry was the
increased use of gas and oil as
fuel, and expressed the belief that
an increase in population in Penn-
sylvania would help to. solve some

of the problem. Lepr
Senator Leader speutiouad the
prevention . of hasty injunctions,
ment compensations, enforcement
of a minimum wage law, and a
labor-management council as im-
provement he would make in the
field of labor relations.
Senator ‘Leader felt that Penn-
sylvania was “a generation behind
the times” in such fields as éeduca-
tion and government. administra-
4 tion. He noted the failure of the
previous Republican administration
in Harrisburg to achieve the four
major goals set forth by Gov. Fine
in 1953. These were (1) govern-
ment reorganization, (2) constitu-
tional revision (3) reapportionment

ministration to be successful only
in half of point (3), which was the
reapportionment of the House.
Senator Leader said he felt the
state should work in conjunction| -
with housing authorities of major
cities, thus helping to fill the vac-

President McBride Announces
Increased College Enrollment
“A first order of business for
this seventieth year,” said Presi-
dent McBride at the college’s open-
ing assembly, “will be a new study
of the size of the college. oe
Speaking in Goodhart, Sept. 28,
to a student-faculty body of over
800, Miss McBride touched on the
ever-increasing enrollment, new
faculty appointments and the es-
tablishment of a Spanish-speaking
hall in East House.
Pressed again by a large number
of applications, Bryn Mawr has in-
creased its enrollment by two and
one-half per cent, the presidgni |
noted in commenting on this year’s
student body. The college will be
the largest in its history with 761
students, including 183 in the |
freshman class and 181 in the
graduate school.
“This review of Bryn Mawr’s
growing enrollment,” Miss McBride
declared, “will take into account |
present crowding as well as the
probable increases in college en-
rollments which will come on a na- |
tion-wide basis as the new high-'
school population comes to college
age.”

Here’s To Hall Reps
The plan this year to have volunteer rather than nom-
inated candidates running for hall representatives to the
campus organizations seems to us a very good idea. We hope
that this can be developed to include a period of perhaps a
week of informal discussions between the Candidates and the
hall.
If those who have put themselves up for election would
take it upon themselves to talk to the members of their hall
about any ideas or plans they would favor and support if
; elected, they would be doing the campus a service. After a
week of exchanging views, the hall could have decided on
some person who has the interest and initiative necessary to
bea good hall representative. And the candidates would have
a wealth of suggestions and complaints which they could
carry to the organization if elected, or to the victorious can-
didate if defeated.
‘We believe that such a system, compared to the old nom-
inate and elect before the 7:45 double feature at the Suburb-
an, would result in better.candidates and more interest among
the student body. Representatives today are often chosen
because they are “well-rounded” or r have had a course in poli’
sei or sociology.
e People tend to reason that because a girl han shown
talent and responsibility in planning a dance, she can show
“the same as a delegate to the Alliance. But hall representa-.
tive to an organization is not an executive job, and it is not
merely one more “honor” to list after one’s name. It needs
‘most of all a person who has a great enthusiasm for her or-
‘ganization—so much enthusiasm that she won’t mind at-
tending a meeting every week, listening to anyone in the
hall who at any time has a suggestion for ‘improvement, or:
putting a little extra effort into seeing that a function isn’t’

cry. To the Normal Average Amer-
ican Speciman,- such devotion. and
determination may seem ignorant,
ignoble and insane, All right, re-
plies the latter (placidly), the dic-
tates of logic demand that for the
utmost:in viewing coupled with the
ultimate: in -comfort, an armchair

day. ;
Poor ‘N.A.A:S.! His ‘lofty ab-
straction and internally consistent
logical systems are no match for
the deep religious fervor and emo-
tional zeal of the I.F., whose atti-
tude ‘may be summarized in one

My-Team-Needs-Me, cries the al-
truist. How can I sit back in a

to orally second guess, to shout

Revives Civil War
~ “By Epsey Cooke
As an ancient and experienced
Southern sophomore, I would like
to extend to any fellow-entering
Southerners a -warm greeting and
a bit of sage advice. If you all are
venturing up to Yankee land for
| the first time, I’m here to téll you
{that a Southern accent will get you
anywhere —— just make sure that
you want to be there.
When professors get nosy and
try to find out how much you don’t
know in an embarrassingly public
classroom, don’t panic. Sit back
and relax. A slow drawl gives you
more time to think than a Bos-
tonian will get in a-month. If you
are in a language class it’s really
great...Take it from one who
speaks (!.?7!!) French with a
Southern flavor! Monsieur knows
it’s hopeless and will pass you to
keep from ‘getting any more gray
hair.
Men Like It Too
- And then there’s that all impor-
tant item. College men adore a
Southern drawl. But here, nota
bene, underline, and put exclama-
tion points. Don’t ever get roped
into doing a WHRC program on
the difference between Southern
gentlemen and Northern men. “Not

1925. Editor Has
Modern Opinions
The following is an item from
a College News editorial of Jan.
14, 1925. Sound familiar? Right
down to the last fliche. (Not
that we don’t agree.) !
American college women have
little.conception of the meaning of
2 liberal education or. of intellec-
tual thoroughness. They do better
men, but they are more eager to
get by with the professor, they are
not challenging,: and they are not
subject.
Students at Fault
This is the substance of the ac-
cusation made, by a writer in the
December American Mercury.
Whether or not he had our own
fair college in mind, he could hard-
ly have found a better example of
the truth of his contention. Bryn
Mawr, with all its reputation for
academic distinction is in some re-
spects woefully lacking in an un-
derstanding of real intellectual
prowess or a humanistic education,
to judge by its,.undergraduate
body. The fault, we thinks, rests
with both students and/the edu-
cational methods employed. As to
the former, the undergraduates; at
least, do their work well, they com-
plete the tasks assigned, and they
pass their cours¢s, but any orig-
inal nasa ty is as pain-
ful as it is raye. We sit and swal-
low all that pba professors-tell us
with even more placidity than we
absorb th books we read: Outside
reading /in our’ courses is ‘almost
never /andertaken unless there is
some/ prospect ef getting “credit”
for At, and our slavish devotion to
bg is revealed’by our conversa-
n. The amount of time we have
been studying and our “terror” at
the thought of a quiz tomorrow
would seem to be the only phases
of our academic work which inter-
est_us..The fundamental and most
serious’ fault is our attitude, how-
ever, and it is perfectly typical
that our studying must have a con-
crete: and immediate end. - “We
learn things in order to be able to
bring them out in conversation,”
as an upper classman naively: put
it. We want to be charming hos-
tesses, to get a degree, to appear
cultured, and so we emerge from
college with a bowing acquaint-
ance with several branches of
knowledge” and an understanding
of none. Small wonder we are
known as intellectual snobs! With
all our abysmal ignorance, we as-
sume a virtue when we have it not.
System Evil
But the system is quite as much
to blame. Required reading, which
makes one read against time or
against the number of pages, ex-
aminations and quizzes that are
given on assignments rather than
on subjects, the consumption of
changed by any thought on ‘the
part of the student, on her exam-
ination, all these are cells in the
prison known as college education.
| Apparently, at present, we cannot
| change the system. But while we
cannot tear down the walls that
surround us, we may by our own
efforts be able to climb over them.
To put understanding before the
mere acquisition of facts, and in-
tellectual honesty before a good
mark, to prefer to know a subject
rather than_to pass a quiz—these
are some of the steps which will
help us over.

Weekend Diggin
Means‘New’ W BMC
Two days of industrious digging
fulfilled one of WBMC’s most am-
bitious —plans when seven Haver-
ford engineers joined their femaie
counterparts in laying an under-
ground cable between Pembroke
and Denbigh last weekend.
- The trench in which the cable
was laid was quite a feat—its tor-
tuous route includes a tunnel un-
der the pavement which leads to
Dalton. It was the only way,
though, since the earlier plan of
running the permanent cable along
the heating pipes proved imprac-
tical. The new wiring is_an—im-
provement over the temporary sys-
tems which went from rooftop to
rooftop and had to be put up again
each autumn.
This is only the first step in
WBMC’s effort to be heard on
‘campus radios this year. Plans in-
clude another cable from Denbigh
to Merion, possibly within a month,
and a complete check of equipment.
The.mew audible WBMC broad-
casts from 4:00 to 6:30 and from
7:30 to 12:00 p.m. Monday through

Seven Professors
In 5 Departments
Presented Grants
Several professors from the col-
lege have-been awarded grants for
research both abroad and here at
the college.
From the Latin department,
Miss Marti has a Guggenheim Fel-
lowship for research on medieval
interpretations of Roman Stoic
writers. At this point she is in
Rome and will move to Spain in
the spring.
‘Miss Gilman, of the French de-
partment, is in Paris working on
early 18th century French poetry.
She will return to. Cambridge,
Mass. in the spring.
A Fulbright scholarship was
awarded to Miss Angeline Lo-
grasso, head of the Italian depart-
ment, who is now doing research
on Dante in Florence.
Mr. Bernheimer, of the History
of Art department, has been given
a grant to explore Italian sour¢es
of architectural romanticism. He
will not, however, make use of his
grant this year.
Scientists Excel
All the professors who are
using research grants here at the
‘college are members of science de-
partments. Miss Gardiner, ‘head
of the Biology department, has re-
ceived a grant from the National
Institute of Health, (She is study-
ing problems of growth, and con-
centrating on plant materials. By
growing isolated tissues in a
chemically defined medium it can
be shown what elements are nec-
essary for growth and what caus-
ed plant tissues to break down.
Miss Gardiner has been ’carrying
on this research for two years.
Miss Bliss, also of the Biology
department, is doing research for
the third year on a grant given to
her by the National Institute of
Health. Her subject is “Studies
of Bacterial. Resistance to Anti-
biotics and other Chemotherapeu-
tic Agents.” She is testing to
note their loss of resistance to an-
tibiotics and new anti-bacterial
agents.
Mr. Pruett, of the Physics. de-
partment, has received a grant
from the National Science Founda-
tion for research in the field of
nuclear physics. His work deals
with’ the fact that radioactive
atoms are radioactive because they
are unstable and, therefore, emit
radiation. By angular correlation
measurements of beta particles it
is possible to tell What goes on. in
‘the nucleus during decay.

Spring “Counterpoint” Satisfactory
~Zyhibits Uneven Technical Skills
h
“
. appropriate costumes,
By Evelyn DeBaryshe
A review of Counterpoint four
months after it appeared? Yes. It
was published two days before we
left.
It was a satisfying issue, with
upper and lower classes represent-
ed—perhaps not enough shown by
the freshmen of last year.
Most of the writing struck me
as decidedly experimental, in the
non avant-garde sense. “The Im-
portant Things in Life,” by Char-
lotte Smith, and “My Birthday Be-
gan With The Water,” by Jessica
Dragonette, are good examples of |
a certain, spirit. that I believe per-
vades the magazine, that is, a feel-
ing that a-form or a plot is being
tried on for size. Yet this effect is
natural and to be expected.
Charlotte Smith’s story is a case
in point. It is essentially a profile
of a horsey’ gentleman - seen
through*the eyes of one who has
deserted the hunt club for Broad-
way....-An..O’Henry ending for a
work intended primarily for enter-
tainment does not clear up the
story’s major problem, that of
“voice.” A short story in the tra-
dition she has chosen to further
requires skilled and slick handling
but fuzzy characterization, unreal
dialogue and above all, the con-
fused idiom of the narrator ob-
scure in this piece the real humor
that lies in the writing.
“My Birthday Began With The
Water,” by Jessica Dragonette, is
technically better handled than the
first piece. Although she writes
from within a young man’s mind,
Jessie manages to attain some
‘shadow of plausiblity for the peo-
ple she creates. The dialogue is
improbable and the melodramatic
“action is not supported by hints of
the depth of the importance of the
affair. Nevertheless, the story is
well paced and Jessica imparted
some genuine’ feeling to the actors
of her piece.
“Miss Sedule’s Dilemma” seems
to me the most pleasing and_ac-
complished piece of the collection. |
‘upon
Charlotte Busse discusses the
growth of a mind from childhood
to what is presumably early ‘adult-
hood with unusual understanding.
She is also blessed with the ability
to express her unique vision in
light, sure language. Perhaps the
most endearing attribute of her
piece, critically speaking, is the or-
ganic quality of her metaphor.
Symbolism has not been thrust
simple statement; rather
Charlotte realized that what she
had to say could be expressed, per-
haps even conceived, only through
‘the analogy she chose.
“It’s Just no}:
Liz Simpson’s
Good,” an account of a nine-year-
old boy’s reaction to a severe in-
jury his sister suffered accidentally
while in his care, is interesting in
conception but dull in execution.
Her attempts to link his view of
the accident with his relation to an
aged uncle and the rest of his fam-
ily to show thé fabric of his mind,
is not wholly successful. One leaves
the story with the feeling that the
author has not succeeded in saying
whatever it was of deep signifi-
cance that she intended.
Of Pat Gilmartin’s “Blood and
the Moon” little can be said. It
seems to be an exercise, in con-
struction and conception, but its
very. breadth and scope make it
necessary for it to deal with too
much that lies in the realm of wild
sentiments and romantic charac-
terization. Little of the work rings
true. Nonetheless, a certain ex-
citement and genuine feeling is
felt in the author’s intent: highly
valuable motivations when~ they
are sufficiently disciplined.
Richmond Lattimore’s “Greek
Easter” is poetry of high excellence,
with perhaps the exception of one
or two lines. These are more than
compensated for by phrases like
this one:
“ ... Grief in the brain, made
dark with hollow air,
waits out the hours, until
the--voices. come

Freshmen Greeted
At Undergrad Tea
After an extensive poster cam-
paign, Undergrad gave a tea intro-
ducing the various campus clubs to
the freshmen, Monday, in the Com-
mon Room.
The keynote of the invitation
was come as you are, to quell the
fear of having, to dress formally
for a tea and to induce those just
out of lab or hockey practice to
come.
The clubs were represented
largely by presidents dressed in
from the
brave semi-nudity of the swim-
ming club who appeared in bathing
suits to compete with horh-rimmed
glasses of Counterpoint. The
representatives of College Theatre
and the French club wore similar
costumes but the effect was never-
theless spectacular.
The plan of the tea was to ac-
quaint the freshmen with campus
activities and give them some idea
of the projects and work connected
with a club, whether it was debat-
ing, chorus or languages. The
freshmen singled oyt or were cor-
nered by a representative and, ply-| :
ed with iced tea and cookies, found

Do You Find Taxi
Fare Expensive?
Your Telephone Can Help Save ‘Money
by Evelyn De Baryshe
You don’t have to spend, $3.35 to
get three suitcases and yourself
from the station to your. hali.
You'll be charged that if you’ve
shipped your bags through on your
ticket and if you use the Bryn
Mawr Taxi Co., whose stand is at
the station’s curb.
But you can get the job done
for $.45; including the price of a
phone call, if you ask Bennett’s
service, located at the: P.&W. sta-
tion to pick you up, bags and all.
And they’ll be there in three min-
utes flat.
Why is the Bryn Mawr Co.
seemingly bent on losing business ?
This is the way its owntr,.a Mr.
Caccia, explained it to us: He holds
a franchise from the Pennsylvania
Railroad Co. for the right to use
their larid as-a—-hack-stand. The
P.R.R. also possesses a franchise
for the sole right to haul baggage
-at the railroad station. This, says
Mr. Caccia, it has recently given,
sold or leased to a new drayman.
The baggage hauler, Caccia told
us, charges a dollar per bag. If,
the taxi service charges a lower
price for baggage. than the ap-|
pointed draymyan, it willbe in
competition with him.
If, said Mr. Caccia, the goes ‘into
competition with the railroad’s
drayman, the railroad will rescind
the franchise they have given him.
It’s clear as crystal, -
But although we have not con-
sulted the bearer of that delighi-
ful title, the drayman, a gent in
the ticket. office told us. the same
thing.
The incontrovertible fact is that
it will cost you a dollar to trans-
port any suitcase that has been
waiting. at the station, although
no extra charge will be made if
you emerge from the local clutch
ing it in your hot little hand.
All these probings have given us
a feeling that we have somehow
become involved in the workings
of higher finance; that someone
will soon appear with a graph,
showing vertical (or is it horizon-
tal?) controls and lines of com-
mand and boxes with people all
doing the same thing to show that
they are industry in action.
Who controls what, anyway, and
why can’t the taxi company move
across the street? Answer: It’s
probably too much trouble. And,
if he did, the railroad might let
the franchise to someone else, and
‘where would Mr. Caccia be then?
We wouldn’t want to put Mr.
Caccia where he would be then,
nor for that matter, to any un-
necessary trouble. On the other
hand, there’s not much trouble to
calling Bennett’s, and it saves a
positively satisfying. amount of
money. We’re sorry, Mr. Caccia,
but we’re sure you'll understand.

Counterpoint Good
In Many Respects
Continued from Page 4
“with incense and with
strings of bells, to light
a thousand candles on a
midnight square,”
“Greek Easter” is undoubtedly
the best thing in Counterpoint,
“Beatitudes” I found well done,
expertly handled, on the whole not
unusual but possessing a few lines
of some beauty:
(“Have you ever seen the wheat in
early May?
Green
Like’ the gossamer hair of mer-
children
Tossing under the touch of a wat-
ery wind’)
Who “mathritis” may be I don't
know; let me say, however, that I
envy him his anonymity.
Adele McVeagh’s “Perhaps” is a
charming little verse, as is Jo
Case’s “The Fable.” “Song to. the
Impossible Him” has an ‘appeal-
ing quality, and is serious enough
to deserve to be judged by the
more severe standards of poetry.
It almost, but not quite, makes the
grade; “Impossible Him” would re-
quire further refinement and dis-
tillation of feeling before it could
be called true poetry.
Almost everything in Counter-
point deserves attention. If none
of the students’ work is finished
art, their efforts were still not
made in vain. A college literary
magazine is, by its nature, the
place in which experiments can and
should be made, because having
made them, the authors will then
be able to take the next step with
greater nimbleness,

an opportunity to work in slum
areas ‘with students. from other
—eolleges. A registration fee of
three dollars is required to cover
lodging and meals. Here again, the
League comes to the financial res-
cue of those who desire the experi-
nce of helping unfortunates help,
hemselves, but can’t afford the ex-
pense incurred.
The Maids and Porters Commit-
tee plans a dance for the maids
and porters ‘each year, and’one half |
of the expenses for this come from
League funds.
In response to many’ student in-
quiries concerning how League
money-is spent, the Activities Drive
Committee publishes the following
report ‘of the fiscal year, April,
1953-April, 1954:
Bryn Mawr Summer

Soda Fountain 248.91
Race Relations Committee 48.50
Labor Education Associa- \

As the only self-supporting: or-
ganization on campus, the League
must depend on all IPSO FACTO
members to finance its activities.
Students are asked to pledge ten
dollars each, but whatever they
give will be appreciated. One hun-
dred per cent contribution by the
student body is not only bread and
butter to the League. It is, in a
sense, approval of. League activi-
ties.
