� * . � The College News Vol. XVIII, No. 4 WAYNE AND BRYN MAWR, PA� WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1931 Price, 10 Cents Bates House Allure Is Depicted by M. Lee Taking Care of the Tenement Children Is. as Amusing r. as Beneficial. MORE TEACHERS NEEDED (Specially Contributed by Murjorie Lee, Assistant to Bates House) "'Come play with us. teacher," shouts a chorus of lusty young voices, while large black eyes, quick to sorrow, if �refused, dance and sparkle with pre- meditated mischief. After the first day, when the effects of a long, hot train-ride from the city have worn off in a thorough scrubbing and clean Bates House clothes, the Italian tenement children are rushed merrily into their daily round of swims in the ocean in the morning, swims in the afternoon, and strenuous playing in the backyard, on slide and Swing and see-saw. The sun and the salt air have a magical effect. During nap time, which is extended as long as the "teachers'* see fit for disporting them- selves in the Long Braijch vil, sonic of the children have been known to sleep so soundly that when they woke up they askeil if they must brush their teeth now, before breakfast. And at night there is even less trouble over getting to sleep, so that, after a story or two, "teacher" is quite free to go off and admire her "favorite movie hero, exchanging, on the way, humor-, ous anecdotes of the day with her boon companions. Two girls, of course, arc left in charge of the little Sinisgalis and Padulas, but fheir turn at the movies, or the amusement and the boardwalk, will come the next night. During the day, too, each "teacher" has several hours to herself when it is not her turn with the chil- dren. Some girls go down to Bates House from college for clean-up week, right after exams, and give their minds full opportunity for recovery from recent mental strain by freshening the place up with paint, and laying out rows of white combs and toothbrushes, night- ies and pajamas, for the coming throng. For those who go for two weeks with the children�and you can stay longer�life is a succession of amusing incidents, quite novel in their unex- pectedness. Vou will hear weird leg- ends about things and proud boast- ings of how one's father is a policeman or a fireman, and of their doughty deeds. And, you wjll notice the enor- mous devotion . of small sister, four and a half, for big brother aged eight; i >r the tyrannical rule of ..'little brother over big* brother, who, though gentle enough to members of his own fam- ily, is not averse to an occasional trial of fists with anybody else's big brother. The origin of all this was the gift of a house at Long Branch, N. J., by Mrs. H. Roswell Bates, to be used, in memory of her husband, as a vacation home for tenement children. The financial end of it is fairly adequately accounted for by our share of the League pledges, and by the proceeds from the sandwiches sold on campus. The real, problem in collection with Bates House is the lack of "teachers" (girls from college, who go for two weeks or more to take care of the chil- ' dren). It is a pity that more people do not realize how extremely inter- esting it is, and thus .miss the unique experience to be found at Bates House. Who' would not like to'meet a Billy J'adula who said one night that he couldn't go to sleep because "Miss Connie was giggling too hard." Summer School Has Own Lantern Night Ceremony Probably few undergraduates are aware of the existence of another Lan- tern Night, which is no less impres- sive and possibly more significant than ours, although very different. For the summer school it symbolizes the eight weeks spent at Bryn Mawr. On the last evening, as Miss But- terworth tells us, there is a banquet in Pembroke dining room. Then, just before dark, the girls go to the Library. The guests sit on the grass between the fountain and the Library side of the Cloisters, while the girls enter singing: "With eager feet we come to thine altar, Lanterns arc lighted from every land." They wear bright-colored dresses and walk slowly, though informally, to a stone altar covered with ivy which is in the center of the Cloister lawn. They are met by a figure representing Wisdom. Then she and four hand- maidens, tall girls with good voices, hold a dialogue with Font others in bright tunics, who represent workers. By now it is completely 'dark. The handmaidens kindle, their torches from Wisdom, and then fire the altar, from which the girls then light their blue lanterns. They walk out singing -the school Spug which is to a Russian folk-tune. __^___ Elections At the Sophomore Class elec- tion held last Wednesday, Har- riet Mitchell, Rockefeller, was chosen President. Anne Hawks was � elected Freshman class chairman for this week. There are no trained voices, but many born singers; the school has a number of Russians - and Germans. They know their songs well, having sung them often at the evening gath- erings irt Denbigh. The next morning they leave in buses. But, however different their future life from that of the recreation and study at Bryn Mawr, the -memory of Lantern Night is inspiration in their struggle for improvement. Abbey Players Return After Seventeen Years Having closed the famous Abbey Theatre in Dublin for the season, the company that has sustained the high repute of that great playhouse, directed by the manager and director of the Abbey Theatre, "Mr. Lennox Robinson, is in America for the season and will appear here in "The Playboy of the Western W Odd," November 10. Seventeen years have elapsed since the Abbey Player? last visited Amer- ica, yet their wonderful acting and the vivid realities presented by their un- usual plays are still poignantly re membered by all who heard them. Founded by Lady Gregory, William Butler Yeats and.others, the Abbey Theatre has been for over twenty years a cultural center for the Irish people. Here many of the greatest plays pf the Irish dramatists have had their first offering, including tome of Bernard Shaw's, most pf .1 M. Synge's. Lennox Robinson's. Lady Gregory's, ,Sean O'Cascys, George Shiel's. Wil- liam Butlet Vests', T. C. Murray's, St. John Irvine's and of many- others. As literary and cultural ambassa- dors from a small country to a large one comes this group of inspired play- ers of inspired plays. Every player is as nearly perfect as it'is possible to be; every play in the repertoire of the company is a gem. ' '. When the Abbey Players visited us seventeen years ago. despite the pres- ence in the company of Arthur Sin- clair, Maire O'Neill. J. If. Kerrigan and Sara Allgood, the Abbey manage metit insisted that "there are no star- in our cqmpany." Despite the fact that the players now here include F. J. Erratum The News wishes to correct an error in the interview with Miss King, published last week, and which Miss King has called to our attention. The sentence reading "Madame, it would not be good for you that Germany should perish," Should read. "Madame, it would not be good for,Europe tnat Ger- many should perish." To Restore Radiance of Faith Is Christian Problem Art Club Organized The Art Club has been reorganized after a temporary lapse of activity last year. It meets Saturday mornings from 9:30 to^ 12:30. There is no in- structor, because of�the difficulties and expense involved in procuring one. The members thus feel free each to follow her own individual manner ana technical method. There is a model, obtained usually from among the itu-i dents at college, at' every meeting, and the mediums used are charcoal, oils; water colors and colored chalks. The club is being run on a semester basis because of the possibility of May Day in the second semester, and the dues are. four dollars for painting this se- mester and three dollars and fifty cents for. charcoal work. Exhibit Held P^ere of 's Art Three Works Show Greatness and Personality of Man in Miniature. MEXICAN ART IS GOOD McCormfck, Eileen Crowe, Barry Fitz- gerald, Maureen Delany. P. J. Carolan. and others, the Dublin management in- sists there are no "stars." An Ameri- can producer 'would advertise in big letters and electric lights�"An All- Star Cast." It is this system of "no stars" that has produced this great company of great players. Even the Art Theatre of Moscow under Stanis- lavsky has never matched the virile acting companies of the Abbey The- atre. Critics declare this organiza- tion to be the finest acting company in the English-speaking world. ( Specially contributed _ by Mr. Warbutg) It is not often that the work of an artist of the \ew World can cause the Old World to stop and take notice. Too often they find in our productions nothing more than an Americanizing of one of their themes. The American note in painting is as difficult to isolate as is the real American. We find it perhaps in men like Eakins. Burchfield. Homer. Kuhn and Martin, but even then we hesitate to hold their works up against the works of the front liners abroad. Our melting pot civilization seems to be melting too slowly for us to expect a really clear-cut national art such as we find in France and Ger- many today. But if we can stretch national pride into. Continental pride, as present circumstances rather fprcc us to do, we gladly seize the opportunity of claiming the works of the forerunners of Mexican art of-today as "American" in this larger sense. For through the constant political upheavals Mexico has developed Character-., characters who. unlike our countrymen, glory in their differences \s individuals they seem to realize that "he who follows is always necessarily behind." So that Mexico at best is never a unity but tends towards a union of differences. The Mexican art is truly Mexican if we think of it in that way. It is highly romantic in its propaganda and tends to be classical in its architectural design. It does not retire from this world to interpret the realms of mem- ory and hope nor to idealize the pres- ent,"' but rather grabs the bull by the horns and shows us the very realistic present." One cannot help feeling how close this is to the point of view of Daumier but unlike the latter it not only shows us the present (or rather shows up the present), but also hints rather broadly at the remedy. It is here in the various artists that we find Chapel was opened Sunday evening with the* processional, followed lrya prayer by the speaker of the evening, the Reverend Mr. W. Brooke Stabler, director of college work at the Church of the Mission, New York City. After an anthem, in which the choir dis- played a real feeling for shading and antiphonal effect, the speaker read his text, which was taken from the sixth chapter of the second Epistle to the Corinthians. Mr. Stabler chose as his theme, the history of the cross and its importance and influence in modern life. Religion, he points out, is not a losing cause, around which a few emaciated saints rally hopelessly. There has never been a greater need for religion than there is in.the-world today. Exposition, not defense, is the prov- ince- of the Christian minister today, Mr. Stabler believes. The history of the cross is as true now as it was two thousand years ago. Dogmatic Phari- sees, cynical I.scariots. Saducee-, Hcr- ods, and Pontius I'ilates, besiege the church from within;." while without there are the million who |>a- un- moved by this "most dramatic of all dramas"�the cross. �* As a Hioneru it: every man carries within him a throne and a cross. It" self is on the throne, Jesiis will be on the cross, while if Jesus is enthroned, self must be crucified. The problem facing each Christian is to overcome the gloomy pessimism of the agnostic, and to re- store the lost radiance of the faith. To do this one must take religion as a great cosmic adventure, not as a spiritual security. "One cannot re- move the cross and put in cushions." The danger today IS that with the great number of books and periodicals that do our thinking for us, we may become parasites on the church, tak- ing all and giving nothing. One must be willing to spend and be spent on the moral struggle; or. in the words of Foch, "One must fight with the scabbard when the sword is broken."

The island is covered with forests, not wlmil- ,i we think of them in the United States but wild jungles, active volcanoes, and old temples.

When Miss Higuchi came to this country she noticed cliiclly that n-11 Northerners are in a hurry all of the time. She went to Oberlin Collegi in Ohio where she specialized ill SO ciology and political science.- This is her first year in Bryn .\rawr and she is doing graduate work in history of art. Her first impressions of Bryn Mawr arc that because it is not a co- educational college, we are not over- burdened with extra-curriculum activi- lies and as a result we study hard and a great deal of the time. Miss Park's ehapel last Tuesday and Thursday was devoted f� the statis- tics of the entering class, taking up not only the question of their scholar- ship but also of their parentage, train- ing and environment. "If we should draw a circle with Bryn Mawr as its center and a radius of fifteen miles," Miss Park began, "nineteen per cent, or about one-fifth .of the homes of the frcshutan class would be included."" If the radius of the circle were a hun- dred miles, sixty-three per cent, of the freshmen's homes would be included. This means that only two-fifths of the class come from homes more than three hours distant from Bryn Mawr and that one out of every five of them whom y'ou*ineet is brought up in this same bnarpatoh and it is only two out of. the live whom you would expect. as Miss Park said, "to have a foreign accent." Three-fifths of the class come from large cities and the remaining two-fifths from smaller cities, towns or even the country. . A large percentage of the stock of the class on both the father's and the mother's side are. pure British but there are some (jcrman. French. Dutch, Chinese and Japanese, while one-(|uarter combines British, (icrnian. French and Dutch. Sixty-seven of the freshmen have parents and' grandpar- ents on both sides American born; fifteen have one grandparent born abroad and only six have one or both parents horn out of America. About three-tenths of the class are daughters of college-trained parents and one-half of the class have a college-trained father only, leaving two-tenths of them daughters of parents neither of whom has hail a colrege education. And now for the statistics of the class itself. The average age of the freshman is eighteen years and two months, al- though there is not as wide a range in their ages as there often is. Twenty per cent, ol them came in with credit averages in their examinations and with good school records and scho- lastic aptitude tests. Those who enter with a credit average are as follows: Credit Averages of 1935 Phyllis Walter (loodhart, Catherine Adams Bill.

How to Select
How to select Bathroom Lighting
Selecting bathroom lighting may seem like a difficult task, especially for individuals who don't know anything about lighting fixtures. This guide will make this process easier and will help you find the perfect option to fit your needs. No matter what lighting fixture you select for your bathroom, it needs to be resistant to moisture since the bathroom is the only room of the house that has water applications in it.
The first thing to consider when selecting bathroom lighting is the size of the room and whether it has access to natural light. If the area of your bathroom is small, a single light may be enough to illuminate it properly. Larger bathrooms require more fixtures to be installed in different locations of the room.
Specify the type of lighting fixtures that you want to install in the bathroom. You might want to mount task or directional lighting devices near the mirror and sink area in addition to the main lamp installed on the ceiling. Also, don't forget about the shower area.
The most important requirement of bathroom lighting is using the fixtures that don't provide shadows. Because most of the bathrooms don't have any windows and thus access to sun light, it is important to have the most natural light possible. If you don't have proper illumination in this room, you will have hard time performing your everyday bathroom routine.
The wattage and operation cost of bathroom lighting fixtures is an important factor to consider as well. You need to know how much energy the lamps will use and prepare the budget to cover the expenses. Knowing the wattage of each fixture might also help you replace some light bulbs with more efficient ones and thus save money and energy.
The design and amount of light are also the factors to consider. Selecting the bathroom lighting that will match the current décor of the room will help add style to it in addition to creating nice and enjoyable atmosphere. The amount of light can be regulated with dimmer switches and other similar controls.
What type of bathroom lighting is the most efficient?
During the past few years LED technology has become the most efficient type of lighting. Not only does it provide reliable and long lasting operation, it also helps you save money in the long run. And the best thing about LED lighting is that it offers multifunctional and very flexible features, allowing you to install such lighting fixtures in every type of building.

Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is an unusual cancer of the blood. It affects B cells, a type of white blood cell (lymphocyte).
Leukemic reticuloendotheliosis; HCL; Leukemia - hairy cell
HCL is caused by the abnormal growth of B cells. The cells look "hairy" under the microscope because they have fine projections extending from their surface.
HCL usually leads to a low number of normal blood cells.
The cause of this disease is unknown, although certain genetic changes (mutations) in the cancer cells have been found. It affects men more often than women. The average age of diagnosis is 55.
Symptoms of HCL may include any of the following:
During a physical exam, the doctor may be able to feel a swollen spleen or liver. An abdominal CT scan or ultrasound may be done to evaluate this swelling.
A complete blood count usually shows low levels of white and red blood cells, as well as platelets .
Blood tests and a bone marrow biopsy can detect hairy cells.
Treatment may not be needed for the early stages of this disease. Some patients may need an occasional blood transfusion.
If treatment is needed because of very low blood counts, chemotherapy drugs can be used.
In most cases, chemotherapy can relieve the symptoms for many years. (When the signs and symptoms go away, you are said to be in remission.)
Removing the spleen may improve blood counts, but is unlikely to cure the disease. Antibiotics can be used to treat infections. People with low blood counts will receive growth factors and, possibly, transfusions.
Most patients with hairy cell leukemia can expect to live 10 years or longer after diagnosis and treatment.
The low blood counts caused by hairy cell leukemia can lead to infections, fatigue, and excessive bleeding.
Call your health care provider if you have significant bleeding. Also call if you have signs of infection, such as a persistent fever , cough , or general ill feeling .
There is no known way to prevent this disease.

Graves disease is an autoimmune disorder that leads to overactivity of the thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism ). An autoimmune disorder is a condition that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue.
Diffuse thyrotoxic goiter
The thyroid gland is an important organ of the endocrine system. The gland is located at the front of the neck above where the collarbones meet. This gland releases the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which control body metabolism . Controlling metabolism is important for regulating mood, weight, and mental and physical energy levels.
When the body makes too much thyroid hormone, the condition is called hyperthyroidism. (An underactive thyroid leads to hypothyroidism .)
Graves disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. It is due to an abnormal immune system response that causes the thyroid gland to produce too much thyroid hormone. Graves disease is most common in women over age 20. But the disorder can occur at any age and can affect men as well.
Younger patients may have these symptoms:
Older patients may have these symptoms:
The health care provider will do a physical exam and may find that you have an increased heart rate. An exam of your neck may find that your thyroid gland is enlarged (goiter).
Other tests include:
This disease may also affect the following test results:
Treatment is aimed at controlling your overactive thyroid. Medicines called beta-blockers are often used to treat symptoms of rapid heart rate, sweating, and anxiety until the hyperthyroidism is controlled. Hyperthyroidism is treated with one or more of the following:
If you have had radioactive iodine treatment or surgery, you will need to take replacement thyroid hormones for the rest of your life. This is because these treatments destroy or remove the gland.
Some of the eye problems related to Graves disease usually improve when hyperthyroidism is treated with medications, radiation, or surgery. Radioactive iodine can sometimes make eye problems worse. Eye problems are worse in people who smoke, even after the hyperthyroidism is cured.
Sometimes prednisone (a steroid medication that suppresses the immune system) is needed to reduce eye irritation and swelling.
You may need to tape your eyes closed at night to prevent drying. Sunglasses and eye drops may reduce eye irritation. In rare cases, surgery or radiation therapy (different from radioactive iodine) may be needed to prevent further damage to the eye and loss of vision.
Graves disease often responds well to treatment. Thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine usually will cause an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). Without getting the correct dosage of thyroid hormone replacement, hypothyroidism can lead to:
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of Graves disease. Also call if your eye problems or other symptoms get worse or do not improve with treatment.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have symptoms of hyperthyroidism with:

Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a rare condition that occurs only in identical twins while they are in the womb.
TTTS; Fetal transfusion syndrome
TTTS occurs when the blood supply of one twin moves to the other the shared placenta. The twin that loses the blood is called the donor twin. The twin that receives the blood is called the recipient twin.
Both infants may have problems depending on how much blood is passed from one to the other. The donor twin may have too little blood, and the other may have too much blood.
Most of the time, the donor twin is smaller than the other twin at birth. The infant often has anemia, is dehydrated, and looks pale.
The recipient twin is born larger, with redness too the skin, too much blood, and higher blood pressure. The twin that gets too much blood may develop cardiac failure because of the high blood volume. The infant may also need medicine to strengthen heart function.
The unequal size of identical twins is referred to as discordant twins.
This condition is usually diagnosed by ultrasound during pregnancy.
After birth, the infants will receive the following tests:
Treatment may require repeated amniocentesis during pregnancy. Fetal laser surgery may be done to stop the flow of blood from one twin to the other.
After birth, treatment depends on the infant's symptoms. The donor twin may need a blood transfusion to treat anemia.
The recipient twin may need to have the volume of body fluid reduced. This may involve an exchange transfusion.
The recipient twin may also need to take medicine to prevent heart failure.
If the twin-to-twin transfusion is mild, both babies often recover fully. Severe cases may result in the death of a twin.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I received my elopement announcements yesterday in the mail. Just beautiful...awesome quality. Service was speedy and perfect! Thank you!"
"I loved that I could enlarge and reposition the photo we had chosen for the card. Being able to put text on the back of the card provided us a way to give details about a family picnic without dealing with response cards, tissue paper, etc. The best feature of this particular card is that it only requires standard postage! The card stock is of excellent quality, and we received it on the date requested. We have also heard from friends who found it to be a most beautiful invitation. The design truly captured the essence of a destination wedding in Hawaii."
"We had a very simple courthouse wedding with just close family, so we wanted to send announcements to the few friends/family who couldn't be there and we aren't connected to through Facebook. These announcements were simple and beautiful, while still giving us the personalization that we wanted."
"These cards are great, both in design and picture quality. They have a clean, cheerful, modern look. My only gripe was there is only a small place on the return address space so most standard address labels don't fit. I ordered a custom small address stamp instead."
"Just what we were looking for... a simple, elegant card to announce our wedding that could feature our picture. We appreciated the level of online customer service, particularly with respect to proofs."

Arcane Brilliance: The future of Fire
Each week Arcane Brilliance brings you a healthy dose of Mage opinion and analysis. Most of the opinion is extremely biased and borderline libelous, and the analysis tends toward hyperbole and slander, especially when the topic of Warlocks comes up. In fact, here at Arcane Brilliance, we feel that you can never have too much Warlock slander. Especially against Gnome Warlocks.
Leave it to Blizzard to change the Arcane tree substantially the week after Arcane Brilliance's detailed look at that very same tree. I'm sure they did it to spite me, because yes, I do firmly believe everything is totally about me. Anyway, here are the notable changes, before we get to the giant unequivocal "meh" that defines our analysis of the Fire tree in Wrath.
Arcane Impact has been changed into Spell Impact, and now increases the critical strike chance of not just Arcane Explosion and Arcane Blast but also Blast Wave, Fire Blast, Ice Lance, and Cone of Cold. This makes it a much more versatile and beneficial talent, affecting spells from every school of magic.
Student of the Mind has been moved to tier 3 and now increases your total spirit by up to 12% over 3 ranks, while Potent Spirit (which gave increased chance to crit based on your total spirit) has been removed altogether. It looked for awhile there as if Blizzard intended to really increase spirit's usefulness to Mages, but I guess we should have called "no take-backs" on that one, huh?
More Arcane changes after the break, as well as a few long sighs and downcast looks as we discuss the future of the Fire tree.

The OverAchiever: 5 lucrative achievements
Last week we discussed a set of achievements likely to drive the average player to the poorhouse. This week, in the spirit of consoling people who may not necessarily have a Traveler's Tundra Mammoth in their immediate future, I'd like to present a series of 5 achievements where at least one of the following is true:
- They're an unusual means of making gold in a way people wouldn't necessarily expect, or:
- It would be almost impossible not to make a pile of gold while doing them.

Gas gangrene is a potentially deadly form of tissue death (gangrene).
Tissue infection - Clostridial; Gangrene - gas; Myonecrosis; Clostridial infection of tissues
Gas gangrene is most often caused by a bacterium called Clostridium perfringens. It also can be caused by group A streptococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Vibrio vulnificus.
Clostridium is found nearly everywhere. As the bacteria grow inside the body, it makes gas and harmful substances (toxins) that can damage body tissues, cells, and blood vessels.
Gas gangrene develops suddenly. It usually occurs at the site of trauma or a recent surgical wound. In some cases, it occurs without an irritating event. Persons most at risk of gas gangrene usually have blood vessel disease (atherosclerosis , or hardening of the arteries), diabetes, or colon cancer.
Gas gangrene causes very painful swelling. The skin turns pale to brownish-red. When the swollen area is pressed, gas can be felt as a crackly sensation (crepitus). The edges of the infected area grow so quickly that changes can be seen over a few minutes. The area may be completely destroyed.
Symptoms include:
If the condition is not treated, the person can go into shock with decreased blood pressure (hypotension), kidney failure , coma, and finally death.
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. This may reveal signs of shock.
Tests that may be done include:
Surgery is needed quickly to remove dead, damaged, and infected tissue
Surgical removal (amputation) of an arm or leg may be needed to control the spread of infection. Amputation sometimes must be done before all test results are available.
Antibiotics are also given. These medicines are given through a vein (intravenously). Pain medicines may also be prescribed.
In some cases, hyperbaric oxygen treatment will be tried.
Gas gangrene usually begins suddenly and quickly gets worse. It is often deadly.
This is an emergency condition requiring immediate medical attention.
Call your heath-care provider if you have signs of infection around a skin wound. Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911), if you have symptoms of gas gangrene.
Clean any skin injury thoroughly. Watch for signs of infection (such as redness, pain, drainage, or swelling around a wound). See your health care provider promptly if these occur.
