- ward communities. It has nine col-
leges and universities, three of
which are for Negroes exclusively,
but the public schools are bad and
as Tennessee salaries are low, it is
difficult to get good teachers. The
church situation is a good example
of the: conflict between the older
-generation; which does not want old

buildings to be given up, and the.

younger, which wants ‘more space

and better buildings. Although this
conflict has helped to revive an in-
terest in religion, Elizabeth ques-
tioned Mr. Carter’s statement that
th South will be a leader in a spirit-
ual revival. Most of the city church-
goers go for social reasons and in
the backwoods religion takes the
form of intense emotionalism and
fanaticism.

‘Pat Cain, the only speaker who
is not southern-born, has been for
several years a resident of Lake
Charles, La. The population of
this city has grown from 20,000
to 43,000 in the past 15 years as a
result of industry, but it is still

the popular language being a kind
of mangled French dialect. Al-
though industry has brought many
advantages there is opposition to
it, especially on the part of big
landowners for. whom

rise of industry has also caused
housing shortages and the tearing
down of many beloved old man-
sions. Pat also spoke of the strong
family ties among southerners who
have less of a tendency ‘to leave
their homes than northerners.

The “beautiful traditions of the
Old South” were staunchly upheld
by Liz Rennolds, from’ Richmond,

such as the “Daughters of the Con-
federacy” are making great efforts
to preserve these shrines of the past
in which are retained symbols of
the pride and glory of the South.

To Liz, Richmond is a beautiful

Religion and Life

Common Room, Feb. 25: — The
Inter-Faith Association’s speaker
here today was Madonna Faulkner,
a native of Sierra Leone, British
West Africa. Donna a junior at
Bryn Mawr, spoke on “Religion in
West Africa.”

There are two main religions
there, she said, the Moslem reli*
gion, which is the greater, and the
Christian. She spoke briefly of the
histories of the-two-and-the effects
that this has on their position in
the country today. For example,
the Moslems have been in British
West Africa since the very begin-
nings of its spread over the world.
The Christian religion is compar-
atively new in that it came much
later by means of missionaries and
suffered set-backs such as opposi-
tion from the Moslems, disease and
other troubles in coming from the
coastal regions.

An interesting fact was s brought
out by Donna who said that Chris-

ittle-cpp

from the womén. of her country be-
cause they welcomed a religion
that does not condone plurality of
wives as does the Moslem. This
has been a major factor in the
growth of the Christian faith in
West Africa.

EVES

Benefits of Christianity

Christianity has brought with it
education, hospitals, scientific
knowledge and many ,other things

fact has hindered the Christians
somewhat because the people na-
turally associate the religion with
British imperialism since it came
along with it. The Christian miss-
ionaries of today are fighting this
idea. and trying to impress upon
the people the importance and'sin-
cerity of their beliefs.

There is now in West Africa,
somewhat because of this, a move-
ment toward independence, Donna
said. Steps are being taken in that
direction in the government this
year.

After the talk, Donna answered
questions from the audience on
other aspects of life in her coun-

orought out here was the fact that
uhere is now absolutely no friction
petween the two religions at all.
‘As a matter of fact,” .she said,
we celebrate each other’s holidays
and everyone enjoys them both.”
According to Donna, things are
amproving in British West Africa
and people are very interested in
education, medicine, science and
progress in this forward-looking

country.

Pen Pals, Anyone? or How to
Obtain National Fame might well
be the title of a book written by
two Merion Hall freshmen: Its
authors, Carol Porter and Karen
Northam, can speak from experi-
ence,

The special issue of Life maga-
zine, “The American Woman,” in
which the article about Bryn
Mawr appeared was the beginning
of this “national fame” for Carol
and Karen. Their picture taken in
the chemistry laboratory has at-
tracted “fan mail” from all over
the_nation,

“IT guess this will surprise you

. Perhaps you are wondering
who Iam...” These phrases are
typical of most of the letters
whether they be postmarked
Princeton, West Point or Alton,
Illinois.

The reasons given for writing
are a bit more varied. A fraternity
pledge from the University of Ver-
mont wrote requesting that the
girls save him from the wrath of
his fraternity brothers by auto-
graphing the picture from. Life.

“Sometimes a person is -intrigued
with what he sees, and bold ideas
will follow ....” These words were
the reason offered by. another ad-

felt that his only hope for an
answer to his letter lay “in my
playing upon the ever present
feminine ¢uriosity.”

(By the by, Karen and Carol,
having a normal amount of said
“feminine curiosity,” have answer-
ed all their “fan ‘mail.’)

A bet among several of his room-
mates was the reason for’a letter
from a senior at Yale. If he won,
he wanted Karen to celebrate with
him over dinner at Mory’s in New
Haven. (His next letter informed
her that he had won half the bet.
Half a dinner, perhaps?) -

for the most part, college students.

Brings Ambassadorship to Bryn Mawrter

FLASH—Latest dispatch reaches
News room:

Did you know that LIFE’s cir-
culation extends as far as Africa?
Carol Porter’s studiously bent head
and bare knees caught the eye of
a young male,Gold Coaster, whose
ideas were no less “bold” than
those of our West Point man.

Fan mail, it seems, is an inter-
national institution: witness the

‘words of Hassan Sanni, Accra,

Gold Coast: “It is quite a long time
I have been searching for Ameri-
can pen pal all over USA because
I_likeAmerican—attitudes— more
than all nations.” (Hassan proves
his knowledge of “American atti-
tudes” by his opening phrase of
“how you do-baby?”)

Among his reasons for writing,
Hassan gives his desire to “work
out method of becoming friends
with them (Americans), for life is
to be fortified by many friendships;
to love, and to be loved is the
greatest happiness of existence.”

Hassan is 23 years old and em-
ployed as a . delivery clerk in
Accra’s harbor. His interests range
from his nation’s forthcoming in-
dependence to the Gold Coast’s
parakeets, not to mention a healthy
curiosity about Americans.

“Please kindly send all Jour ee

letters by air mail and’ I will be
giving you promptly PODIY 56
Dearest Carol, if you have any
questions at all to ask me please
do without making hesitation.”
Carol, of course, ambassador of
good will that she is, will make
no hesitation!



in addition, there have been letters
from an-instructor at the Western
Military in Illinois and from an-
vther young lady named Carol
Porter who is attending Cortland
State Teachers College in Cortland
New York.
