Florida State Women's Soccer Team loses in National Final.
Three Rush players Melissa Samokyshin, Sara Wagenfuhr and Ericka Sutton are all FSU players and were so close to their first college national championship. All three players have been accustomed to success on the national stage while playing with the Rush. Melissa was a part of a team that won a national championship at U16 and she came close again at U19, finishing third in the country. Both Sara and Ericka won a national championship just two years ago at U19 with the Rush. Congratulations to these three players and to Florida State on an excellent season. Note: The now national champions, University of Southern California Women's Program who beat FSU 2-0 on Sunday, will be the program of choice for current U18 Rush player, Brittany Kerridge who has been recruited and verbally committed to the storied college institution.
Rush Player Steven Traeger to participate in Men's Final Four.
Steven is a senior at Ohio State University. OSU has compiled a 16-3-5 record this year, but more importantly has headed into the national tournament playing very well and has now put together a string of victories, including a thrilling 4-3 win over defending national champion UC Santa Barbara, and is headed to the NCAA Division I Final Four. Good luck to Steven and his Ohio State Team!
Two Rush players make it to Elite 8 in NCAA Men's Tourament.
Sophomore Grant Campbell led his upstart Bradley University team to a State Farm MVC Tournament championship for the first time in school history with an exciting win over Creighton. An incredible run saw Bradley continue from there into the national tournament and make it all the way to the Elite 8 before losing to Ohio State University. There adventure included a shootout victory over soccer powerhouse Indiana. This run is even more incredible as it followed an early season fatal accident to teammate Danny Dahlquist who died in a house fire. Compounding the tragedy, three teammates missed the season after being charged with felony arson following the accident. Grant played a key role and helped lead an inspirational run of new heights for the Bradley program. Jeb Brovsky, a freshman at Notre Dame, also came within one game of the final four after his Fighting Irish fell in a closely contested match to now tournament favorite, Wake Forest. Brovsky who played considerable minutes all year as a freshman was unable to lead the Irish to victory within the 90 minutes of regulation soccer played. Wake Forest prevailed 1-0 in over time. Congratulations to both Grant and Jeb on great seasons!

ALOHA!! Rush Wins Three State Titles!
After having advanced five teams (out of nine) to the state cup finals, Rush will now send the 13 Nike Boys, 14 Nike Girls and the 18 Nike Girls to Hawaii in June to compete at the Region IV Tournament and represent Colorado as State Cup Champions. The U15 Nike Girls who also advanced to the finals lost a very close and hard fought match 1-0 falling just short of their intended goal, as did the U16 Nike Girls who conceded the game winner in the fourth minute of injury time in a 2-1 loss. Such a tough morning of results gave way to a beautiful afternoon full of celebrations. The first win of the day went to the U14 Nike Girls who decided to wait until overtime to record their second straight state championship with a 1-0 win over Real Colorado. The second title was secured a short time after with an injury time victory for the 13 Nike Boys over a very game Real team. It was a well fought match that was decided by one of the great goals in Colorado State Cup history. Oscar Montes took the ball from inside his own half continued to beat five players and capped it off with a deft move to get around the goalkeeper and calmly slot the ball home for the winner. Only seconds later the final whistle blew. The last game of the day saw the U18 match up that so many people in the state were talking about, Rush vs. Real. The Rush 18 Girls are one of the best teams in the country and proved it for the second year in a row (six out of the last seven years) with a convincing 3-1 victory. Congratulations to our winners and a very very special thank you to all of our Rush members who came out in a display of support and passion. As we try to lead the way in caliber and style of soccer played, we are excited and motivated by our members who represent club unity and passion! (Good job Skyler and Akio!!)

Okay, so that's not the big news.
This is:I finally opened my etsy shop! This is not an official opening, more of a soft opening (thank you Ocean's 13) with only a couple of things listed at the moment. I have a bunch more things waiting to be listed sometime next week.
So keep watching! And keep watching for more giveaways in the next month! Woo!
This is my first offering. A vintage-inspired I-spy baby quilt kit.
The quilt also comes with pre-cut borders, binding and backing.
(Recognize those cute American Jane prints?)
A great way to get a good little collection for your own projects, without having to collect that many different fabrics.

I love to see vacation pictures! It's a great way for me to travel for free! We actually went to that park on a whirl-wind trip through Utah and surrounding states when I was pregnant with our first son, well over a dozen years ago. We also saw Zion, Bryce, Escalante, Arches, and a few others on that trip (our last as "DINKS). I'm glad to see you got in a good quilt or 2 also! I always notice the quilts I see on our trips too :-).

I agree with my fellow Brit, Bev, I would love to tour America, visiting Montana, Virgina, Utah and Colorado (sp?)
I love the wide open spaces, travelling for 2 hrs to and from our holiday home tires me out so actually visiting isn't on the books for me. I can however visit via the beautiful photos fellow bloggers post.
We live just on the edge of The Peak District, it has a vast expanse of beautiful moors which I love driving through. I'm very lucky, my eldest son and family live in a beautiful village which draws me as much as is physically possible :0).
The quilts are gorgeous I've never seen the carpenters block so will be googling and you tubeing it lol. Thank you for sharing.

If you happened to drive through the town of Loa, that's where my parents live! I love Capitol Reef. My grandparents lived there in the house that is now my parents', and we spent summers there and drove to Fruita to pick apricots and peaches. Glad you got to experience it too!

Your holiday looks wonderful! We're bringing the kids over to the US for the first time in October, only Florida (Harry Potter!) but our plan is that if the driving isn't too radically different from the UK (or scary)we'll come back the year after and do some touring. There's so many places I'd want to see, though don't know where I'd start!

y- The college Mews VOL. XLI, NO. 23 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1945 �, ----------------------------, ......-------.., .�.�,___________________BrynM / == Society of Contemporary Russia Described in Simmons9 Lectures B^ScXr'.SU PRICE 10 CENTS �^r Maids, Porters' Play Presented WithOriginality Goodhart, April 21. "An amazing understanding of the special hu- mor of the play pervaded the en- tire Maids and Porters' produc- tion of Joseph Kesselring's Ar- senic and Old Lace. The tone of *b,e play differed from that of the original chiefly in removing the �action from the plane of the ma- cabre to that of equally appro- priate fantasia. In spite of the handicap of the prevalent man-power shortage, and the understandable deficien- cies in pace, the spirit of the play alone could "Have made it a suc- cess. Louise Jones and Pearl Edmunds as the two Brewster sisters, brought a remarkable understand- ing to their roles, showing an ex- cellent stage presence. Their ges- tures and inflections were in per- Conmuti on Ptgt i Simmons Urges Study of Russia M Own Solution "Russia is a peace-loving na- tion." With this rather startling statement Dr. Ernest J. Simmons, current lecturer on Russia, open- ed his self-conducted interview for the News. Leaning back on the Deanery couch with a slight smile, he aded, "I know, you are non-plussed. You don't believe it. You fear Russia�you and all the rank and file of Americans. You fear her because you really know nothing about her." Dr. Simmons, Associate Profes- sor of Russian Language and Lit- erature at Cornell, explained that while information and propaganda have been plentiful, education about Russia has not. "Our feeling toward Russia," Dr. Simmons said, "is like our feel- ing when we get into bed at night and see a white blotch on the wall. It might be a ghost. And as we He there in the dark it troubles us and we cannot sleep�because we don't know what it is. When we just get up, and turn on the light, and see what is actually there, then at least we know whether our fear is grounded or not." Elaborating on this first state- ment that Russia was "a peace- loving nation," Dr. Simmons ex- plained that he did not mean "that Russia was a Father Divine yell- ing 'Peace, it's wonderful'" but that it had found peace to be in its own interest. The present attitude of the ma- jority of Americans toward Russia he attributed to "German propa- ganda unconsciously retailed by the press for American consump- tion" and to the fact that the United States has "never come around to the acceptance of Rus- sia's right to have any economic system she wants, an attitude which has unfortunately deter- mined our diplomatic policy." The answer to the whole prob- lem lies in education, according to Dr. Simmons. Praising Bryn Mawr's administration for insti- tuting this series of lectures on non-western civilizations, he em- Continued on Page * Broughton, Moore Win Fellowships For Achievements Included among the fifty-five civilian recipients of the Guggen- heim fellowships, were Dr. Thomas Robert Shannon Broughton, assoc- iate professor of Latin at Bryn Mawr, and Miss Marianne Moore, graduate of Bryn Mawr. The fel- lowships are given to finance achievements in writing, research, science, art, poetry and music composition. In compiling a list of all Roman magistrates, minor magistrates, and priests, Dr. Broughton hopes to create a reference book that will give by years, a brief sum- mary of the life, dates, and works of important Romans. Dr. Brough- ton has been teaching at Bryn Mawr for seventeen years and started to work on his list approx- imately three years ago. As he has won the Fellowship, he expects the work to advance quickly. Miss Marianne Moore won the Guggenheim Fellowship for poetry and fiction. She said she "had not planned anything very imposing" but she was going to do a trans- lation in verse of Stister's Adle- burg, in collaboration with Miss Elizabeth Mayer. Miss Moore had nothing definite in mind when she was awarded the Fellowship, in fact she seems to have preferred doing book reviews, but as the idea of the translation was well received, she expects to start in at once. Adherence to Marxism In Soviet Policy � Stressed Nursing School to Reopen Soon The Bryn Mawr College Sum- mer School of .Nursing, discontin- ued in 1944, will open again this year in its fourth session at the specific request of the participat- ing schools of nursing, Columbia- Presbyterian, Johns Hopkins and Lincoln- Hospitals. This pre-cliriical school, spons- ored by the American Red Cross and approved by the United States Public Health Service, will enable the participating nursing schools at present overburdened, to admit Conthnti on Psgt i Goodhart, April 23. Refuting the present theory that Russia is turn- ing toward capitalism, Dr. Ernest J. Simmons in his last lecture, "Russia Today, A Changing Civili- zation", emphasized that Russian development is rather the histori- cal evolution of Marxist ideals. Dr. Simmons asserted that erroneous convictions about Russian policy arise from an Ignorance of that country which must be combated by education. The only fundamental alteration in the doctrine proclaimed by the revolutionists of 1917 has been that introduced with the first Five Year Plan in 1928, when Russia turned from the aim of world revo- lution to constructing a socialist state within Russia. The Comin- tern, terror of the western na- tions, lost its significance at this time, but was preserved as "an in- strument of Russia's foreign pol- icy. The effects of the concentration upon Russian internal development appeared in the revival of Russian nationalism. Studies of Russian history were introduced into the schools, but were always taught with reference to the Communist revolution. The recognition of re- ligion at about the same time was the result of a changed attitude on the part of the Church. "The government has not been hostile L to any force within the country that would wholeheartedly accept its rule," Dr. Simmons said. Calendar Thursday, April 26 12:00 P.M.

Taylor Awarded Scholastic Honor Lily Ross Taylor, professor of Latin at Bryn Mawr since 1927 and Dean of the Graduate School, has just been elected a member of the American Philosophical So- ciety, one of the highest scholas- tic honors in the world and com- parable to the British Royal So- ciety. Miss Taylor graduated from the University of Wisconsin in. 1906 and received her doctor's degree from Bryn Mawr in 1912. Recent- ly she has been appointed a trus- tee of Wellesley College and dele- gate to the American Council of Learned Societies. She is also president of the American Philo- logical Society. Besides contrib- uting to various philological and archaeological journals, Miss Tay- lor has written two books, Local Cults in Etruria and The Divinity of the Roman Emperors. Questioned about the American Philosophical Society, Miss Taylor said, "1 don't know very much aoout it except that it was found- ed by Benjamin Franklin." The organization, largely scientific and "founded for the promotion of use- ful knowledge," encourages re- search and helps to publish aca- demic books* At the large open meetings in Philadelphia in April and November, outstanding schol- ars and scientists read papers on their work and explain new dis- coveries in various fields. David Rittenhouse, John Bartram, and Thomas Jefferson are but a few of its many famous members. Soviet Literature Called Reflection of New Social Order Goodhart, April 19, 1945. "Sovi- et literature is not propaganda. It is a truthful picture of a new kind of social order. No modern lit- erature gives a better reflection of the country in which it is written," declared Dr. Ernest Simmons in his lecture on Soviet Russian Lit- erature, fourth in a series on Rus- sia. One inspiration for the pro- lificness and excellence of Soviet literature, he felt, was the demand of the newly-literate millions for poetry, fiction and drama dignify- ing and justifying their sacrifices for a new world. As a result, a study of the liter- ature of these 25 years is a good historical study as well as an ar- tistic one. The war literature, for instance, is that of a total people. Not only the army's valor but that of the workers, guerillas, and civ- ilians is expressed. A hatred of war and a desire to return to the life they love is a dominant theme �illustrated by such works 83 Simyonov's Wait for Me. The note of optimism and faith in the future is not however, lack- ing here. This note, the speaker said, has characterized Soviet lit- erature from its birth, and runs through every stage of its evolu- tion. Even Soviet "realism" con- sists in regarding man with all the optimism possible; its human- ism shows the individual and the community as no longer hostile but complementary forces. The literature of the confused revolutionary and civil war per- iod, chiefly poetry, was "drab" and destructive in spirit. This mood, well represented by the gargantuan Ma'yakovsky, was short lived. A fine and more mature picture of the birth pangs of the USSR is Sholakovs novel Quiet Flows the Don. After a period of post-revolution- ary disillusionment, came strict regimentation under the first Five Year Plan. The folly of this strict- ness was soon realized and "liter- ature was given back to the au- thors." The nationalist spirit ar- oused by the prospect of war was reflected in a flood of brilliant historical novels. Wells Clarifies Background of Security Plans by R. H. Wells, Professor of Political Science Gd. Note: This article In the first in a series on current national and inter- national questions written by mem- bers of the faculty. This article is being: printed by the College New* In cooperation with the program outlined by several members of the faculty and student body in a Let- . ter to the Editor last week. This program, aiming at understanding �f the problems facing the nation, and participation by students In their solution, also outlined a sys- tem for educating undergraduates in the basic issues Involved in those problems. As the great Security Confer- ence of the United Nations con- venes in San Francisco, the spot- light of world attention is focus- ed upon the assembled delegates representing forty-six states. This is not the first time that the United Nations have gathered together for common deliberation and ac- tion. One recalls the Conference on Food and Agriculture (Hot Springs, Virginia, May, 1943); the launching of UNRRA (Washing- ton and Atlantic City, November, 1943); and the Monetary and Financial Conference (Bretton Woods, yew Hampshire, July, 1944) to say nothing of recent in- ternational conferences not spec- ifically held under the aegis of the United Nations (for example, the International Labor Organi- zation Conference, Philadelphia, April, 1944: and the International Civil Aviation Conference, Chi- cago, 1944). Without minimizing these earlier gatherings, it is safe to say that the San Francisco Con- ference is the most crucial of them all. Its task is nothing less than the establishment of a general in- ternational organization for the collective maintenance of peace and the development of coopera- tion between the nations. An important factor in the suc- cess or failure of an international conference is the amount of pre- paratory work and preliminary discussion which precede the for- mal meeting. In general, the spade work for San Francisco has been well done. The preparation did not begin at Dumbarton Oaks Continued on rage 4 "As You Like It" Roams Campus On Vigorous Wild Sheep Chase by Rosina Bateson '47 Whether you like it or not, the rehearsals of As You Like It are rather elusive. Scheduled for Wyndham garden, they may be found almost anywhere. A lyric note, pinned to a stake behind the French House reads "go to the dell behind Goodhart." There is no dell behind Good- hart. A gulley perhaps, to quib- ble, but evidently the cast couldn't find one either. After consider- able wandering which included a rather noisy interruption of 1) Russia in the Common Room and 2) Russia on the stage, it was dis- covered that the cast of As You Like It had sneaked back into the Common Room after Russia had left. Kate Rand '45, and Jean Swit- tendick '48, as Rosalind and Or- lando, were in the process of en- acting a rather tender love scene. After bluntly stating that she would prefer a snail to a tardy lover, Rosalind encountered trou- ble when she gracefully walked around the bench to secure a more advantageous position, only to be interrupted by loud cries from the stage crew that she was where she couldn't possibly be, because it was a tree. Supposedly . . . The property manager is hav- ing a difficult time, trying to de- cide whether the aforementioned crew could be camouflaged as mis- cellaneous stumps. Also, the cry has gone out for a herd of sheep and a horse. Anyone who knows someone who could get the joyous word to their butcher before the day of slaugh- ter is hereby urged to take action. The flavor of lamb-chops has long since been forgotten, and now the main object is sheep as you like it �on the hoof. Suggestions, please! _

Spring 2006
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
35045 to 35050 | Multiple Sections |
Course Description
For students who have had FR 506 somewhere other than at UT. Covers same material as FR 507 with an accelerated review of grammar and vocabulary covered in French 506. Prerequisite: equivalent to FR 506. Students who have taken two or more years of high school French should take 508K. French 508K is a four skills language class, i.e. it emphasizes listening, speaking, reading, and writing French. 508K uses the same curriculum as French 506 and 507: Français Interactif, a unique first year French program developed at the University of Texas. With the latest hypermedia technology, Français Interactif helps students explore the French language and culture by following the lives of real UT students who participated in the UT Summer Program in Lyon, France. The UT students introduce their French host families, their French university, and their lives in France. In addition to following the exploits of these UT students, students also watch videos of native French speakers as well as scenes of day-to-day interactions (e.g., vendors in the market, waiters at a café, children getting ready to go to school, etc.) These video-based materials give Français Interactif an authenticity and immediacy lacking in most commerically produced textbooks. As its name implies, Français Interactif emphasizes interaction: student/teacher, student/student, student/computer, and even student/native-speaker. The goal of these materials is in its title: interaction in French!
Only 1 of the following may be counted: FR: 604, 507, 508K.
* Texts, French 506 and 507 (Français Interactif) to be purchased at The University Co-op, required * First Year French website: Français Interactif (http://www.laits.utexas.edu/fi/): videos and web activities as well as recorded vocabulary lists, required * Tex's French Grammar (http://www.laits.utexas.edu/tex/): UT French Department's on-line grammar resource includes grammar explanations, interactive exercises, audio files, a verb conjugator, verb tutor, and an on-line French dictionary. Written copies of the grammar pages are included in the text for home study. * Recommended dictionary: Oxford, Compact Oxford Hachette French Dictionary, 3rd Ed., Oxford University Press, ISBN: 0-19-861071-8, optional

Corral smaller items vases, candles on a handled tray thats a cinch to relocate in a companys-coming pinch. Justin Klonsky
5. Control Remotes
Got multiples? Group them all together in a lidded box or a chic decorative bowl. Stephanie Hanes
6. Pare Down Pillows
A trio in complementary colors and patterns one a solid is your best bet for most sofas (a mega-couch can handle five, two of them solids). Melissa Picheny, founder of declutter+design
7. Double Up
Maximize storage and get extra seating with a hide-stuff-inside ottoman. Alejandra Costello, professional organizer
8. Floor Show
Having too many area rugs can visually chop up a room. Instead, layer a statement rug over carpeting or bare floors. Alejandra Costello
