* *^ The College News VOL. XVII. No. 5 WAYNE AND BRYN MAWR, PA.. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 5, 1930 PRICE. 10 CENT.- Scott Nearing Attacks System of Capitalism Sociologist Attributes War and Unemployment to This Growing Evil. ADVOCATES COMMUNISM A goodly audience gathered in the Common Room last Friday evening to hear Scott Nearing, sociologist and au- thor, speak on the subject of Communism in America, under the auspices of the Bryn Mawr Liberal Club. Mr. Nearing's extreme opinions and forceful presenta- tion made his talk very interesting and called forth a broadside of questioning at its close. He first attacked the Capitalist system, which necessitates war and un- employments, and then went on to relate the history of American labor and to prophesy its future. The speaker began by telling of the _-� new relation of the worker to his job since the Civil War. With the growth of the factory system has come a greater and greater increase in the number of wage workers and a more and more definite separation of production and con- sumption. It has developed a mass pro- letariat utterly dependent on capitalists for their jobs and utterly dependent on jobs for their living. Of the thirty-four million workers of this proletariat, five or six million are now unemployed. They 'must go to the bread lines for food for we have no dole or unemployment insurance in this coun- try. They are dependent, it seems, on a system incompetent to care for them. Capitalism can only produce unemploy- ment; and the more Capitalism the greater will be the unemployment. Cap- italization has been increasing enormously. In 1914 the year's Dividends on stocks were $1,200,000,1)00, in 1930, a bad year, the dividends for January alone were $1,- 000,000,000. Some of these dividends go for luxuries but the great part are rein- "vested to swell further the amount of American capital. In 1856 there was $560 capital per worker; today there is $6000. As capital per worker increases the. worker must produce more and more to bring the manufacturer a profit. This means more rationalization of industry, more machinery, more exploitation of the individual worker, more technological un- employment. A time must come when a r tithe of the workers can produce all that can be profitably distributed. The fault is not that of the individual capitalist but of a system in which production is for profit. To prove lu's statement that "the more capitalism there is, the more unemploy- ment there will be," Mr. Nearing called attention to conditions in the United States and in Great Britain. America's new industries, rayon and rubber tires, for example, are running well, but in the old industries, such as coal and textiles, where Capitalism has had its best chance, there is unemployment and economic stagnation. Similarly Great Britain, the oldest capitalistic country, is economically the sickest. Her new industries have grown but the old ones are even less pro- ductive than in 1913. Not only is the worker in constant tear of unemployment under the capital- istic system but he must also expect to be called out to die and kill in periodic wars stirred up in the interests of the ruling classes. It will probably be a war and not unemployment that will be the crucial test of the development of com- munistic sentiment. Since the French Revolution the turning point in govern- ment has been war. At*She third International Communal at Moscow it was said that three things were needed for the spread of commun- ism : weakening of the. power of the rul- ing class, worsening of the conditions of the masses (they are now worse than ever before in this country), and trained, revolutionary leadership. This leadership is needed because the worker is almost inarticulate. *> The American worker has not always been so docile, however. After the Civil War the communistic groups were mostly All Saints' Day Spirit Interpreted by Dr. Mutch "What shall they do which are bap- tized for the dead?" quoted Dr. Mutch from the Resurrection argument of Saiyt Paul, at Sunday night chapel in Goodhart. The message of All Saints' Day, a day full of significance and spiritual value, contains the answer. Although All Saints' Day was last Saturday, the atmosphere remains, per- vading all November with its spirit and message. First, there is the^sig- nificance of the "great cloud of heav- enly witnesses." I'rior to the seventh century, there was a special day in the calendar for each great saint. By then, because there was hardly a day left, or perhaps because they were tired of distinguished persons, it was decided to have one day for all, not only the great and famous, but also for the un- known good, "the shining host of those who have passed on." Secondly, the heritage which we en- joy today has come down to us at great cost. Reaping where we have not sown, things most precious to us are the result of the toil, struggles, and sacrifices of past years. The Pilgrim Fathers paid for the blessings and privileges of religious freedom, truth, and faith in God. The patriots of the Revolution and the Civil War paid the price of our political heritage. Effort. labour, and painful thought, mixed fail- ure and success in experiment, sweat of mind, body, and soul, are all the cost of the common conveniences of totfv. Our debt to the past calls for some payment in the present. The dead must not have died in vain. We must grasp the tools, seize the flag, and carry on their tasks to completion. "Whatever our patrimony, whatever good, we are stewards, and it is re- quired of stewards that they be faith- ful." "Be true to the past, to your- self, to your home, and to God," con- cluded Dr. Mutch, "unless we give back to the world something costing us blood and agony, we shall have failed miserably to pay our debt." CONTINUED ON t*"AOE 4 / Merion Cricket Club Defeated by Varsity Before a handful of the ever faith- ful, Varsity, on Saturday, defeated Merion. 3-2. A steady improvement in the playing of the team has been noticed from week to week and grad- ually co-ordination is linking the play- ers together. The forward line played a scrappy game, fighting back for the ball when- ever necessary. The wings were very fast and passed in nicely. Sanborn on several occasions carried the ball down to the goal and then made beautiful back passes which were iiq� put in because the rest of the line were not quick enough on their shooting. Allen, having picked up her speed again, was very much better on her passing but it is still a little bit late. She was continually attacking the goal and rushing in on others' shots and her efforts were rewarded when she put in a rebound from a nice shot by Long- acre. Longacre with fast running and clear dodging and passing several times got the ball down within the striking circle but her shots were too soft to go in and were frequently stopped by the goalkeeper: however, she made the only goal of the first half. Moore, although a little slower than the rest of the line, was always in place when a pass was made to her. Her shoot- ing was undoubtedly the best of the forwards, hard and fast. After a nice carry in from the twenty-yard line, she made a hard shot for goal and then rushed the rebound; in the ensuing scrimmage with the goaler and a full- back, she managed to push the ball in. Harriman, subbing for Woodward, played her best game so far and greatly hindered the attempts of the opposing wing. Although Collier was missed at centre half. Collins did a good job in her place; Rothennel at full was f�st and sure. For Merion the outstanding pjayer CONTINUED ON* PACK S 104 Students Enrolled in Graduate School Dean Schenck Compares "Hon- ors Work of Undergradu- ates to Graduate Study. PH.D. HOLDS NO TERRORS (Dean Eunice Morgan Schenck was the speaker in Chapel on Thiirsilay, Oc- tober 30.) The graduate school this year has 104 members, as against 102 of last year, thus maintaining its place among the various student groups, second in numbers only to the Freshmen. The number of resident graduate stu- dents is limited by the capacity of Rad- nor Hall, fifty-nine all told. Of the re- maining forty-five students, sixteen have some official connection witlr'the college� instructors, readers, demonstrators, ward- ens. Sixty-five- of the 104 students are giv- ing all their time to graduate work. Among the others who are giving part of their time to other occupations, the teach- ing group is naturally the largest, seven being instructors, two demonstrators, one a reader, here at Bryn Mawr; two teach- ing at other cplleges and thirteen at schools in the neighborhood.________. The graduate students come from twenty-three- States, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Canada and five Eu- ropean countries: France, two; England, two; Germany, Holland and Hungary, one. The States represented are: Pennsyl- vania, thirty-six; New York, thirteen; Massachusetts, seven; New Jersey, six; California, four; Indiana, four; Kansas, three; Vermont, two; Ohio, two; Iowa, two; Illinois, two; Mail*, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, Irouth Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Washington, Idaho, Nebraska, Missouri and Arkansas, one; District of Columbia, one; Hawaii, one; Canada, two. 'Ninety-eight American 'or Canadian degrees. B.A. or B.S., are held by mem- bers or the Graduate School, six Euro- pean degrees. The foreign universities represented are: Amsterdam, Budapest, Cologne, Lau- sanne, Nancy and London School of Eco- nomics^ Forty-nine different colleges or universities in America are represented by graduate . students. Of these, thirty- nine are co-educational, fourteen are women's colleges, and three are women's colleges Sfliliated with universities. Al- though there are more than twice as many co-educational universities repre- sented as ^omen's colleges, whether indi- vidual or affiliated with universities', slightly more than half of the students come from women's colleges. The largest block, twenty-three in all, received the A.B. degree from Bryn Mawr. The num- ber of students who received their first degree from other institutions is as fol- lows : Mounty Holyoke, seven; Smith, six; Wellesley. four; Barnard, Hunter, Mills, Vassar, Pennsylvania (University of), three; Boston University, Brown Uni- versity, California (University of), Pa- cific (College of), Randolph Macon Women's, Northwestern, two. Thirty-one other colleges and universi- ties are each responsible for the Bache- lor's degree of one student. In addition to the Bachelor's degree, forty hold Master's degrees, eighteen of these given by Bryn Mawr, and Welles-' ley, Pennsylvania (University of), Cor- nell. 2; Brown University, California (University of), Columbia University.

This is a conserva- 'My Flight into Egypt' Described by Miss Park "'My Flight into Egypt' really only resembled the original in its extreme quickness," explained President Park in her chapel speech on Tuesday, No- vember 4. She reached Alexandria in less than two weeks after leaving bleak New York. Here was the first glimpse of the melodramatic green cultivated lands against their desert background, an anomaly which is found throughout Kgypt. The low-lying meadows are separated by dykes, over which pass the village roads. From the train a perpetual procession C�f-^men and animals in silhouette can be sSeiv on these roads. Cairo is a ntodern, crowded, con- fused city in the heart of an ancient city. But Miss I'ark's party found Egypt again in a trip up the Nik" past the second cataract. In this country the color effects arc peculiarly inter- esting�the rushing yellow river with it- curious colors under sunrise or sun- set light, the bright green on the edge of the river with the brighter yellotw of the desert behind it. The country leaves an impression of being com- pletely alien, its landscapes are strange to the Northern mind. There is no place where one gains a sense of per- petual tradition, for the only remaining buildings are temples concerning them- selves with worship ~aml dtSWi; daily life. These temples are really the chapel of the tomb of some r, or noble, and intimately connected &ith death. The buildings of course vary in the extent of their preservation, in their location on a bluff or near the river, and in actual age some of them being as late as the Emperor Augus- tus. The beauty of the country is largely associated with the sky. which is not detracted from by tall growths. There Is little color at midday; otherwise from the early hours of morning until Minset there is a feeling of moving in strange lights, although there are no brilliant cloud effects. Everything takes on a red, yellow, or green hue from the sunset. Even under the moonlight the color of the red cliffs and green trees is apparent. The stars are large, low-hanging and amazingly bright, and the Southern Cross, shaped like a huge diamond, is visible every night. Miss Park's party visited the temple of Abu Simbel which is entirely built inside a cliff, with only the facade, decorated by huge seated statues of Ramescs, on the outside. She and a friend spent the night outside the tem- ple, watching the river and the moon- light. The first -light of dawn passed from the mountain tops to the facade of the temple, which faced due East, and the faces of the statues seemed to change their expressions and move, as CONTINUED ON PAOI! !> English Singers Give Brilliant Performance Unique Music and Good Vocal Technique Make Series Concert Success.

Bradley, 35 The sooner you ap- chance you have of The Bryn Mawr Series began its year with the concert of the English Singers on October 29. The perform- ance was one of the most enjoyable ever heard at Bryn Mawr. The Eng- lish Singers are so well known, and their fame is so widespread, that any discussion of them seems redundant. We only praise. The more we hear them, however, the more signficant becomes their success, for it seems to us that it is due not only to the vocal accomplishments of the singers them- selves, however great, but also to the quality of the music which they sing. It is only truly great music which seems ever new. There is a freshness artd spoilt taneity about this English music of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries which make its appeal everlasting. Then. too. it offers great variety of mood, and this the singers are careful to empha- ize. Yet the, transition from one type 'of feeling to another is made with such pparent ease, and the singing appears to be so without effort, that we gasp in amazement at a technique so per- fect that it may be forgotten. And so it is that none of the spontaneity of which we spoke is lost, and we see in the English Singers the theoretical, if not actual descendants of those six- teenth century folk with whom singing was as natural as eating or sleeping, and played almost as great a part in daily life. 4 The English Singers began their concert with three motets, the "Ave Verum" of William Byrd, with its sor- rowful "Misereres" being one of the most beautiful of his religious works. In contrast to this group was the fol- lowing of ballet and madrigals, ending with the poly-rhythmed "Though Amaryllis Dance," which shows that a stunt need not necessarily sound ar- tificial. As a matter of fact, all the music of this time i- an example of the beauty which can be obtained through the use of polyphonic forms and technical devices. "The Wassail Song," which is very merry indeed. brought the first half of the program to a close. In the second part the sing- ers plied various trades�sweeping chimneys, exchanging rags or bones for matches and selling chestnuts in every form that cooking call give them, all of which they did with not a little humour. As for "The Three Fairies," their rather unkind pinching was so much enjoyed that they were obliged to repeat it. Purcell's "I Spy Cclia," with its mock seriousness, was no less amusing, and also very beautiful musi- cally. In the last group was the famous "Silver S"wan" of Orlando Gibbons, and the scarcely le�s well-known "Now Is "the Month of Maying" was pre- sented U one'of the cncore>. The audience wa> an appreciative one: it is inevitable that those for whom the experience of hearing the English Singers was new. as well as those who know them well should realize their worthiness as interpreter^ of the works of the greatest period in England's musical history. rJ. 1934 Elects; Chooses Nichols, Rothermel, Gribbel Miss Mary Nichols has been elected - PreskUnt of the Class of 1934 for the coming year.

Artist Greg Lauren enjoys a special perspective on the themes of men's wear, male archetypes, style icons and authenticity. His uncle, Ralph Lauren, and his father, Jerry Lauren, who is Ralph's right-hand man in men's design, steeped him in their ideology from the earliest age.
"At eight years old, I could appreciate Cary Grant's glen plaid, double breasted, peak lapel suit, which was a little unusual among my friends," he said.
Partly as a result of this education, he grew up to question the interplay of image and identity through his art. Whereas his previous show focused on the aspirations of brides, his current installation, called "Alteration," takes on the style imagery that shaped his own development.
"I needed to take a direct look at the things I was taught to love," he said, standing in a quasi storefront in New York's SoHo neighborhood. He has arranged about 40 life-size sculptures of iconic men's clothes, including classic uniforms and heroic costumes, that he sewed from paper and coated with black and white paint. They reference archetypes including soldiers, hunters and businessmen, as well as the wide spectrum of Americana that his uncle and his father have romanticized for decades. Some, such as a safari jacket, appear durable enough to wear, but that quality is illusory.
"Part of what I'm saying is this image is so potent, and yet it's paper thin. It looks so powerful, so durable, so real, and yet it's as delicate and disposable as the paper it's made out of," he said.
Each type of garment corresponds to a memory. For example, Lauren made a set of Cub Scout shirts like he and his siblings wore as kids.
"I learned to love the faded blue fabric and the graphics of the patches. But none of us were ever a Cub Scout, and I never wanted to be, but I wanted the shirt. There's an irony that I'm now looking at, because I have conflicted feelings that I think are worth exploring. Now especially, we're all consumed by creating our own image. I think it's interesting to see where that comes from, especially in relation to clothing, because clothing seems to be the most powerful way that people do that," he said.
If the work is tempting to view as a criticism of fashion marketers, Lauren said that is absolutely not his intention. "I'm less interested in how it's distributed to people and more interested in our desire for it. I've experienced first hand the desire to project an image through something I'm wearing. It's no secret that every brand, beginning with my uncle's, [deals with] the branding and marketing and selling of a lifestyle. Now everybody is selling lifestyles, and nobody seems to want their own. I'm really fascinated by people's desire to become someone else and figure out who they are, beginning with myself."
Enter phase two of the project. A few steps from the paper sculptures, Lauren has hung real (i.e., fabric) handmade jackets that are as self-referencing as scrapbooks, some decorated with souvenirs and written memories. He wears these quirky "self-portraits," willfully accepting their imperfections since he's a novice tailor and plans to continue making them in this space for the duration of the installation.
"They're all jackets because a jacket is what you put on to leave the house and face the world," he said. "It's especially symbolic of a man. These jackets are an attempt to get closer to who I am — not what character I want to be, but who I am really."

The authors investigated if PVI FU in combination with radiation therapy could be more efficacious than cisplatin in combination with radiation therapy in the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer. However, previous studies had already demonstrated essentially equivalent outcomes with cisplatin and radiation versus a combination of cisplatin/FU/hydroxyurea and radiation. In analysis of the data, a one-sided test was used, the authors did not explicitly state why this was chosen. Regardless, within less than three years of its opening, the study was prematurely closed due to the finding of an increased risk of progression in the PVI FU arm. This study provided further evidence that weekly cisplatin concurrent with radiation therapy should continue to be the standard of care for locally advanced cervical cancer.

Alabama: White Barbecue Sauce
White barbecue sauce is a staple in Northern Alabama. While residents in other BBQ states are often unaware that this lighter sauce exists, Alabamians know that it's not a barbecue without the mayonnaise-based condiment. White barbecue sauce is thought to have been invented in 1925, when the now legendary Big Bob Gibson first started barbecuing for friends and family in a hand-dug pit in his backyard. The sauce became an instant hit and is so well known today that Big Bob Gibson's has begun to bottle the hit recipe so customers can enjoy it at home.
