Miss Ely Relates Experiences;
Surveys DP Camps, Orphanages

by Betty-Bright Page ’49

Yesterday between phone calls,
painter problems, and a jaunt into
Philadelphia, Miss Gertrude Ely
made some extremely interesting
observations on her trip to Europe
and on the work that is now being
done to aid the Displaced Persons.

‘Miss Ely,.friend of the college,
has just returned from a tour of
the continent ‘under the auspices of
the International Refugees Organ-
ization (IRO) and the Internation-
al Children’s Emergency Fund
(ICEF). While in Europe she vis-
ited Displaced Persons Camps and
orphanages and attended a council
meeting of the IRO in Geneva. At
this meeting, Miss Ely was struck
by “the determined effort of Mr.
Hallam Tuck, chairman and the
ability of the delegates of so, many
countries to agree on so many pol-
icies.”

Guests Discuss
Stage, Video, Radio
At Voc. Comm. Tea

Common Room, Jan. 6.—The Voca-
tional Committee held
tea Thursday with three speakers

who discussed the prospects of jobs |

in radio and television. Mr. John
MacClay, program director of
WCAU-TV, spoke first and gave a
rather pessimistic outlook on the
chances of obtaining a job in tele-
vision directly after graduation be-
cause of the highly technical part
of producing a television show.

Mrs. Fifi Garnet Starr, a Bryn
Mawr graduate, who now writes
the radio _show‘‘Claudia,”’dis-
eussed the advantages and disad-
vantages of going on to study more
dramatics after graduation or try-
ing to obtain a role immediately.
As television is an Offspring of
radio, a common error is to sup-
pose one would lead into another;
however, this is not the case ac-
yording. to Mrs. Starr.

Miss Ann Donaldson of the New
York theatrical agency “On Stage”
spoke on the difficulties of obtain-
ing a part on Broadway and sug-
gested that any girls determined
to be actresses gain experience by
playing in stock companies to
learn the inner working of a pro-
duction and perhaps make contacts
with producers and directors who
might help them later when they
are looking for parts.



Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore Meet
Oxford’s Sir Maurice Powicke

by Jean Ellis *49

At a tea given. by Swarthmore
undergraduates, a few students
from Bryn Mawr were allowed to
meet Sir F. Maurice Powicke, regis
professor of Modern History at Ox-
ford from 1928 until 1947. Having
approached our first meeting with
the English nobility with some
trepidation, we were immediately
put at ease when Sir Maurice re-

marked of the display of his books

in the Swarthmore library, “I’ve
never seen anything quite so im-
pressive.”

Sir Maurice has been the guest
of Swarthmore College for the past
week, having given a lecture there
on “The Limits of Historical
Study” under the Cooper Founda-

tion. Having just finished a sem-|:

ester of teaching at the University



of Chicago which he describes as

“a fascinating place”, Sir Maurice

told us that he planned to remain
in the United States with his wife
until March.

At the tea Sir Maurice answered
questions of various types. He de-
scribed the other historians who
had héld regis professorships at
Oxford, explaining that the posi-
tion had been set up by George IT
to train men for the diplomatic
service. Interspersing his remarks
with delightful anecdotes, Sir Mau-
rice listed Froude, Firth, Davis,
Tout, Powell, and Stubbs among
his predecessors.

Sir Maurice is an eminent auth-
ority on English Medieval history,
having published among other
works The Christian Life in the
Middle Ages, Medieval England
and History, ee

last visit, Miss Ely was impressed
by several changes in the over-all
situation of the DPs. She stated
that the DiPs do not want any com-
forts of a permanent nature in the
camps since they hope to find
homes as soon as possible.

In England Miss Ely noted the
excellent treatment the British
were giving miners and their fam-
ilies, who are housed in hostels and
given special training in the lan-
guage and customs of the country.
In France, she saw the national ef-
forts to deal with the challenging
problem of refugees, sometimes
two hundred a day, from the Mid-
dle East and central Europe.
There Miss Ely pointed out that
the ICEF supplements the food
given to the French in institutions
and orphanages.

Miss Ely was especially concern-
ed with the provisions being made
for the old and sick DPs and for
the children. “What seems to me
an unfortunate designation has

| been made about a very important

group in the DPs—the sick and
handicapped and ‘older are called
‘Hard Corps.’ This is an especially
appealing group. We must agree
here to receive and care for some

Catherwood Foundation
Gives Fellowship
For $1000

The Board of Trustees of the Ca-
therwood Foundation, which has
been recently created in Philadel-
phia, is granting a $1000 Fellow-
ship to Bryn Mawr College for the
next two years. After that, the
College will reapply annually for
the permit.

“The Fellowship is to be award-
ed to an outstanding student in the
senior class who proposes to go on
(professional
schools”. Merit rather than finan-
cial need will be the main factor in
making the award. This is to in-
dicate the prize character of the

to graduate or

grant.

The terms are substantially the
same as are now used for the se-
lection of Rhodes Scholars—‘
quality of distinction in character
or intellect or both.” This is the
interpretation given by the Com-

mittee on Rhodes Scholarships to
the will of Cecil Rhodes.

Similar grants are being made to
Haverford and Swarthmore.

Much hand shaking and “It’s so
nice to see you again”... It really
was wonderful to see all the fami-
liar faces, and lots of new ones,
too. The people at Albright were
wonderfully hospitable.

We had all our plenary sessions
in the Student Union Building
which is quite new and very com-
fortable. Wé ate our meals in the
college dining room — wonderful
tables for eight. Very pleasant to
have male voices in the dining room
after the B. M. C. atmosphere.

The plenary session Friday night
was pretty routine. In all, there
were about ~180--delegates..from
about 36 schools. Some, just ob-
servers from non-member schools.
Hope by now, they will have de-
cided to join NSA. Harry Brown,
regional president, welcomed us.
Bill Carson, Student President at
Albright welcomed us on behalf of
the students and administration.
Harry turned over the chair to
Ralph Smith, Swarthmore, who had
gone on the Tri-nation Tour last
summer as a group leader. He
showed the technicolor movies
he had taken over there—on board
ship, of the city and country in
Paris, Holland, Belgium, and Swit-
zerland. Ralph told us that they
had also taken black and white

Drama at Bryn Mawr

“What has happened to drama at Bryn Mawr?” This
week’s letter to the News, signed by nineteen people who
have nothing to do with the Drama Guild, expresses an atti-
tude easily understood by anyone who has seen this year’s
plays. The Bryn Mawr show in particular was lacking in
polished acting or attractive production. Most people cannot
even remember what it was. There could be no better indica-
tion of complete indifference. )

}
Whose Fault?

The fault is not entirely the Drama Guild’s. The letter

cites the excellence of last year’s productions, but does not
cite the corresponding attendance figures. Unfortunately,
unless she is filling in the evening before some campus dance,
the average student will not take the time or the trouble to
-walk down to Goodhart and see the play for ten cents. The
faculty is equally indifferent—but, after all, it costs them
more: The quality of the preceding play cannot be blamed

for the empty house. After King Lear—and what more could
be asked for ?—who went to see The Sea Gull?

Money Troubles

Plays cost money and a great deal of it. When students
bother to come to them, they see them virtually free. Every
ten cents goes straight to Washington. Consequently, the
Drama Guild is forced into the position of choosing its plays
with an eye toward attracting an off-campus, non-college, but
paying audience. Mr. Thon is holding to his artistic stand-
ards when he refuses to direct Greek plays in home-made

_cheese-cloth, but it means that until the Drama Guild has
made enough money from its suburban sources, Greek plays

or Shakespeare or Sheridan or any of those splendid but ex-}:

pensive productions people would like to see, simply cannot
be done. It is to every theatre-goer’s interest to help make
the coming play, Philip Barry’s Foolish Notion, a successful
compromise.

More Support, Less Carelessness

Two possible suggestions: to raise the admission price
next year from ten cents to thirty or forty, at the same time
reducing the amount the Drama Guild collects from Common
Treasury dues; and to urge both the Drama Guild and the
Cap and Bells Club to deny a vote in choosing the play to
members who have not previously read it or seen it on the
stage. Inexpensive plays may, for the moment, be a neces-

sity, but inferior ones are inexcusable. For this half of the
trouble the Drama Guild should be, and is, blamed. The other
half, only those nineteen people can remedy.

is not an isolated complaint. Food poisoning has been brought
to our attention several times this year, as before Christmas
when Pembroke was afflicted. In addition, there has been
general grumbling not only about the quality of food but also
about preparation and planning of meals. In the latter: cate-
gory, comments on “one-color meals’, all-starch meals, and
Sunday night supper are the most frequently heard. Of
course, food is prepared, and, as far as we know, preserved

Harrington Offers
Moral Standards

Students D eplor e Decline The Reverend Donald Harrington |

lof the Community Church of New
| York City, speaking in Chapel,
‘suggested some tests for deciding
what is right and what is wrong.
He pointed out that in this time of
|great crisis it is hard for the young
| Person to know what he or she can
‘do to help build a better society,
a job which, like building better
suspension bridges, requires suffi-
cient material wealth, better de-
signs, and quality of material.
Among the desirable qualities of
|an individual, Reverend Harring-
‘ton mentioned intelligence to solve
problems, courage to do the right
thing whatever the difficulties en-
tailed; faith to perservere even
when the possibilities of success
are slight, and the power of trans-
lating thoughts into deeds.

IN MEMORIAM

years, before she retired in 1934.







right from what is wrong so that
we may know how to act to build
a better society and bring peace in
our world.” Pain or pleasure is one
generally valid test, however, this
is not infallible, since good some-
times necessitates pain. Inclusive-
ness—whether an action is good
for all men and not just for a parti-
for all men and not just for a par-
ticular group—is another criterion,
as is publicity; would you care if
everyone knew about an action?
Universality is the principle on
which absolute honesty is based.
One must ask oneself if it would
be all right for everyone in the
world to do the same thing. An
action should be in accord with the
combined wisdom of the ages. The
last and most important authority
for judging the rightness of a thing
is one’s conscience.

In this period of history, a time
of great danger but also of great
opportunity, one can, by means of
these tests, bring the pawer of God
behind one’s life and accomplish
something towards the realization
of God’s kingdom on earth.

around the foreign universities
which will be organized and sent
out to the schools by the National
Office pretty soon. We’re planning
to have them shown at Bryn Mawr.
Well, it was pretty late by the time

we finished the plenary session,.

and then sub-regional meetings,
private discussions, etc.

Up early Saturday morning after
a very few hours sleep and Work-
shop Sessions started fairly early.
Ralph and I. had divided the Stud-
ent Government Workshop-into two
parts. During the morning session
we had the whole group discussing
Student Government in general
terms. We talked about the very
big problem of student-administra-
tion relations which are the big
hindrance on many campuses which

' still don’t have real student gov-

ernment.
Student Finances

Next we talked about student
finances, and general theories of
student’s rights and privileges.
This morning session served a val-
uable purpose in that we all got
a good idea of the scope of Student.
Government problems in the state.
During the afternoon, the work-
shop was divided into two groups—
the large and the small colleges.
Ralph and I had made up a ques-
tionaire which each school filled out
when they arrived. On the basis of
this we split them into two groups
with similar problems. Each group
was to discuss five problems: (1)
Election methods, (2) Training
program—continuity, (3) Student-
Administration relations, (4) Stud-
ent finances, (5) Non-resident prob-
lem. The smaller schools wanted
an over-all Student Government
representing the student body as a
whole, rather than a student gov-
ernment made up of the heads of



the clubs, organizations, etc.
Everyone seemed to realize the
need for a student leadership train-
ing program. The workshop de-
cided that each school represented
should return to their campus, pre-

sent the idea of such a training

program to their respective Stud-
ent Councils, and make all at-
tempts possible to see such a pro-
gram instituted. This student train-
ing program is a vitally important
one, I think, and one which the

Ely Suggests Ways
To Help DPs, Orphans

‘Continued from page 1

After visiting also the camps in
Germay and Central Europe, Miss
Ely pointed out, “One marvels at
the continued hope and faith of the
DPs, especially as one realizes how
often their hopes are. being raised
by hearing that various govern-
ments have decided to take more
of them. And now that the United
States is able to accept them, they
wonder why it is taking so long.”

These displaced persons must be
cared for before the IRC closes in
June, 1950. Under the present con-.

ditions set up in the act passed by _

the 80th Congress to provide for
the entry of 205,000 DiPs, there is
the possibility that we will not be
able to allow their entry before the
expiration of the two-year limit.
Therefore Miss Ely, who is sup-
porting the McGrath-Neely amend-
ment to the present bill, suggested
that students may assist in the fol-
lowing ways: Work for DP spon-
sorships in their home towns; send
clothes, toys and soap (Miss Ely
ean furnish the names of camps in
Austria and Germany); and, most
important, get behind congression-
al action to simplify the present
DP admission setup in this coun-
try, which can risk more than oth-

ugees who are “a comparatively



small risk.” .

Other Workshops

Am afraid this is a fairly com-
plete report of the Student Govern-
ment Workshop and I won’t be able
to give this much on the others. |
The big thing that came out of the
workshop on Educational Practices
and Human Relations was that we
go on record as being in favor of
the passage of the Fair Educa-
tional Practices Law in Pennsyl-
vania, and that each NSA repre-
sentative contact his state council
man to that effect. Also, Temple
University volunteered to take over
the Inter-Racial Clinic which had
formerly been handled by Swarth-
more.

Sue Savage attended the Cul-
tural Activities Workshop. There
was quite a to-do about the Cul-!
turtde, planned for April 22 and |
23 at the Met Theater in Philadel- |
phia. The chairman ‘reported the |

Informal Dance in College Gym

Crowded by Penn, Villanova

“by Jacqueline Esmerian ’51

Last Friday night Bryn Mawr
opened its arms to hordes from
Penn University and Villanova,
The event scheduled was an infor-
mal record dance, held in the Gym.

Jess Vorys and her five hostess-
assistants really did an extensive
advertising job, for the few Bryn
Mawrtyyrs who got there not too
fashionably late can testify that
the Gym was promptly swamped
with eager young candidates. And
swamped it remained for the rest
of the evening, though many boys
and girls left after a disconsolate
glance at the ‘“‘sad situation.” This
was the great dearth of girls, for
only some fifty showed up, to cope
single-handed with about four hun-
dred men.

The hostesses did quite well un-|

der the circumstances. Directing
the “activities” over a microphone

at one end of the room they organ- |

ized ‘Paul Joneses” and othe:
means of “cutting in’, so that ail
would have a chance to dance.

it was much too crowded for any



couple to erupt suddenly into a
lively lindy; “dancing” consisted
mostly of shifting from one leg to
the other over a few inches of floor
space. The clutter of “unoccupied”
boys did not add to the atmosphere
of informal festivity that was de-
sired. Notwitbstanding this crowd-
ing, it seems too bad that so many
girls missed the fun they could
have had.

The American Express has
prepared a brochure “To Study

and students traveling abroad.
Compiled by “The Educational
Division” of the American Ex-

on scholastic requirements and

dormitory space in foreign uni-

Lost: Violin

Annette Fischer, Rhoads, has
lost a violin. She left it in Practice
Room B between one and eight
o’clock on Thursday, December 16.
It had both a tan and a black cover-
ing, and did not have her name. If
anyone has found it or any inform-
ation about it, please see Annette.

Special attention should be paid

.“much more noisy.” She also added

that, judging from Bryn Mawr,
American teachers take a great in-
terest in the individual student,
something she has not been used
to in Hungary.





Incidentally |

Now a novel soiree is’ possible for
the hostesses of Rhoads and the

Graduate Center. They can have

“wet wash” parties with their new
Bendixes, and for only a dime a
guest! Although the demonstrator
for the machines has not yet put in
an appearance and though he will

have to bring along a repairman to
“unplug” one machine damaged by

over-eager laundresses, the inno-
vations will probably be in full op-
eration next week.

The wicker basket makers will
be doing a booming business if
Rhoads and the Graduate Center
allow outsiders with the wrong
current facilities to take advantage
of their Bendixes. As a matter of
fact, Pembroke East may expect a
machine in the future, and there :3
even a glimmer of hope for Radnor
if the present arrangement works
satisfactorily. Miss Howe and co-
horts are still searching for some
type of converter or a D. C. ma-
chine so that all halls may evental-
ly have similar luck.
