According to the 2006 Report of the Commission on Public Relations Education, "Undergraduate public relations education has been shifting and repositioning itself in step with the practice of public relations... When practitioners aid organizations indeveloping mutually beneficial relationships among diverse publics, organizations thrive." The findings and recommendations of the commission reflect the interdisciplinary nature of public relations and the importance of preparing students for a leadership role in a modern society that demands a multidisciplinary approach to problem solving. Therefore, while our students are thoroughly grounded in the knowledge and skills of public relations and its branches, they are strongly encouraged to minor or double major in a related area that gives context and depth to their core curriculum. In addition, we advise public relations majors to take full advantage of the wide range of electives offered by Westminster College. Our ten-course major covers the "ideal" undergraduate course recommendations of the commission: Introduction to Public Relations; Case Studies in Public Relations; Public Relations Research, Measurement and Evaluation; Public Relations Writing and Production; Public Relations Planning and Management; Public Relations Campaigns; Supervised Work Experience in Public Relations (Internship); and Directed Electives.
The Commission's recommendations for necessary knowledge include the following:
- Communication and persuasion concepts and strategies
- Communication and public relations theories
- Relationships and relationship building
- Societal trends
- Ethical issues
- Legal requirements and issues
- Marketing and finance
- Public Relations history
- Uses of research and forecasting
- Multicultural and global issues
- Organizational change and development
- Management concepts and theories
Students should demonstrate competence in the following skills:
- Research methods and analysis
- Management of information
- Mastery of language in written and oral communication
- Problem solving and negotiation
- Management of communication
- Strategic planning
- Issues management
- Audience segmentation
- Informative and persuasive writing
- Community relations, consumer relations, employee relations, and other practice areas
- Technological and visual literacy
- Managing people, programs, and resources
- Sensitive interpersonal communication
- Fluency in a foreign language
- Ethical decision-making
- Participation in the professional public relations community
- Message production
- Working with a current issue
- Public speaking and presentation
- Applying cross-cultural and cross-gender sensitivity
The Westminster College public relations faculty constantly strives to meet these guidelines in an effort to offer our students an education that exceeds the needs and demands of a career that is experiencing impressive growth and change as it enters the next century.
Vision Statement
We envision majors who demonstrate increasing intellectual sophistication, not only in their own field of study but also in their ability to synthesize and apply knowledge and skills gained across the disciplines. We envision majors who are strategic thinkers, who can develop researched-based public relations programs and campaigns. We envision professional leaders who always keep the public interest in mind and work to build and maintain healthy relationships with others. And we envision majors who will become excellent public relations counsels and spokespeople, who will use their written and oral communication skills to guide their organizations with a moral compass, providing the ethical vision in times of trouble and success.
Mission Statement
The mission of the public relations program is to prepare students for a multi-faceted, protean profession that draws upon expertise in a variety of disciplines and integrates them with the skills and values of public relations. We recognize that many career titles fall under the umbrella of public relations. Therefore, we seek to make students aware of the wide variety of professional and academic opportunities available and to recognize the increasingly global application of their knowledge and skills. Through a program that builds toward increasingly difficult and complex assignments, including the internship and culminating in the capstone experience, we hope to empower students through their education to have the courage and confidence to become leaders in their professions.
Program Goals
In keeping with our mission, the goals we set for our students are as follows:
- To make ethical decisions
- To understand multiple audiences
- To identify problems and opportunities
- To listen effectively
- To speak persuasively
- To write clearly in a variety of styles
- To conduct thorough and focused research
- To develop strategical and tactical skills
- To carry out extensive work with little supervision
- To work productively with others
- To cultivate global awareness
- To respect cultural, racial, and gender differences
- To demonstrate confidence with contradictions, complexities, and ambiguities
- To prepare to be the one, clear voice

Hall Monitor: Vlad laps the majors
By Trevor Hayes
Last week, on a ball way out of the strike zone where only he could make an opponent pay, the Rangers' Vladimir Guerrero sent one of his signature bad-ball home runs over the fence. This particular home run came against his former mates in Anaheim, the Angels – the 30th team he's homered against. And that round-tripper put him into a small group, as only 32 players have hit a home run against all 30 teams.
But only one of the 203 Hall of Famers who played in the major leagues – Eddie Murray – homered against every active team during his era.
Retiring in 1997, Murray never had a chance to hit against Arizona and Tampa Bay, but he amassed home runs against 28 opponents. Murray's march through the majors consisted of 504 home runs during 21 seasons. He played 13 years with the Orioles, four with the Dodgers, three with the Indians, two with the Mets and one with the Angels. The Twins were his most victimized team, as Murray hit 44 home runs against Minnesota – with Detroit following at 38 home runs yielded. Despite his long stint in Baltimore, he still clouted six against them. His least victimized teams were Colorado (one home run), Florida (three home runs) and a three-way tie between Philadelphia, Montreal and the Mets (four home runs).
Because the last round of expansion came so recently, few Hall of Famers have even had the chance to complete Guerrero's feat of homering against 30 teams. Among current Hall of Famers, only Rickey Henderson, Tony Gwynn, Cal Ripken Jr., Wade Boggs, Dennis Eckersley and Paul Molitor played in 1998 or beyond.
Of them, Eckersley, a pitcher, had three career home runs, Ripken and Gwynn spent their entire careers with one team – making it impossible to hit home runs against the Orioles and Padres, respectively.
Molitor and Boggs played exclusively in the American League, giving them from 1997 on to take advantage of Interleague play. Molitor played just one season with all 30 clubs, homering against 16 total teams – with one each against the Cubs and Astros and none in 11 games against Tampa Bay. Boggs retired in 1999, playing for Tampa in its first two seasons of existence while collecting just one home run against an NL club – the Expos.
Henderson homered against 27 teams during 25 seasons with 11 teams. The speedster missed out on the Diamondbacks, Braves and Astros.
Other than Henderson, Gwynn, Ripken, Boggs, Eckersley and Molitor, Murray and Ryne Sandberg are the only Hall of Famers to participate in Interleague games – which means in order to accomplish the feat, inductees prior to them must have played for a minimum of four teams (two in each league).
In all, there are 59 Hall of Famers who played with four or more teams. Of them, 35 hit 16 or more home runs in their career – the minimum number of home runs needed to hit one against each team in the modern pre-expansion era. Of those 35, just seven played for two franchises in the AL and two in the NL: Frank Robinson, Jimmie Foxx, Murray, Orlando Cepeda, Al Simmons, Enos Slaughter and Heinie Manush.
Robinson and Slaughter came the closest, falling one team shy of homering against all clubs of their era – leaving Murray, for now, in a class by himself.
Trevor Hayes is editorial production manager at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Infant botulism is a potentially life-threatening disease in which a bacteria called Clostridium botulinum grows inside a baby's gastrointestinal tract.
Clostridium botulinum is a spore-forming organism that is common in nature. The spores may be found in soil and certain foods (such as honey and some corn syrups).
Infant botulism occurs mostly in young infants between 6 weeks and 6 months of age. It has been reported to occur as early as 6 days and as late as 1 year.
Risk factors include swallowing honey as a baby, being around contaminated soil, and having less than one stool per day for a period greater than 2 months.
The doctor will perform a physical exam. This may show a decreased muscle tone, a missing or decreased gag reflex, missing or decreased deep tendon reflexes, and eyelid drooping.
A stool sample from the baby may be examined to check for the botulinum toxin or bacteria.
Electromyography (EMG) can be done to help tell the difference between muscle and neurological problems.
Botulism immune globulin is the main treatment for this condition. Infants that receive this treatment have shorter hospital stays and less severe illness.
Any infant with botulism must receive supportive care during their recovery. This includes:
If breathing problems develop, breathing support, including the use of a breathing machine, may be needed.
Antibiotics do not appear to help the baby improve any faster, and are not needed unless another bacterial infection such as pneumonia develops.
The use of human-derived botulinum antitoxin may also be helpful.
With early detection and treatment, the child usually makes a full recovery. Death or permanent disability may result in complicated cases.
Respiratory insufficiency can develop, requiring assistance with breathing (mechanical ventilation).
Since infant botulism can be life threatening, go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) immediately if your infant has symptoms of botulism.
Theoretically, the disease might be avoided by preventing exposure to spores. Since honey and corn syrup are sources of Clostridium spores, they should not be fed to infants less than 1 year old.

4 aliens colonial marinesaidyray | 11/02/2013 | See all aidyray's reviews (4)was lucky to get this game early ,,if you like the movies you will love the game ...bit rough round the edges could have took a bit more time and care in making it, but still great game .
1 not worth the wait!!!!!jackandaaron | 12/02/2013 | See all jackandaaron's reviews (13)Was so disappointed last august when this game was pushed back, the wait was in vain i'm afraid. The game stinks of last gen graphics the aliens look terrible, and aliens when shot are flowing in mid air and half in half out of walls and doors. AVP was bad but this is worse, one star because i have to.......trading this in asap.
4 "Not Bad, for a human"ZOMBIENATIONZ | 12/02/2013 | See all ZOMBIENATIONZ's reviews (145)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 Games Reviewer Got my Xbox 360 pre-order copy on Saturday and have had a good blast, admittedly I'm a huge Alien franchise fan so i spent much of the first hour just wandering around and looking at the Sulaco scenery, it was awesome looking at the freezers, the loading bay, the weapon racks, the mess hall, the floor plates the Queen moved to get Newt etc, etc, etc, all the details are there. It all started off really good and things only got better once you reach Hadley's Hope, the details, lighting, sounds etc are all excellent......really gives you the proper Aliens vibe, its the closest we can get to going back in time and walking round the sets!!!!!!It's not all good though unfortunately, the actual Xenos themselves have not been given the presence they deserve, you can melee them with your gun for goodness sake!!!!! Yes it's a game, but come on, in reality if they existed in the form depicted in the films you might as well hit your gun butt off a wall!!! Secondly they go down too easy, especially in comparison to the armoured Weyland humans, one good shotgun blast takes down an Alien but the bloody humans take 5-6 good shots!!!!The animation is a bit wooden too, and they do tend to home right in on you and not your fellow marines.From what I have seen so far it's a solid if not brilliant rendition of the Aliens universe, Gearbox have now become a developer i will be wary of as I got this and Duke Nukem, both not quite hitting the mark, truth be told I should probably have waited for the inevitable price drop however as a true fan, that was not going to happen.I would give it a whirl if like me you like your Xenos!!
2 are we back on ps2heuzyuk | 10/02/2013 | See all heuzyuk's reviews (4)to be honest not a great game at all.was looking forward to this one but when played omg what an terrible game.dont be fooled by the trailer
1 Gutted.SpecialAgentUtah | 12/02/2013 | See all SpecialAgentUtah's reviews (1)I am a huge huge aliens fan, and literally could not wait for this game.Within 2 minutes of playing it, I was gutted.The graphics look like a 7 year old game and a poor one at that. The gameplay is utterly boring and wooden.The sounds are all there which is great, but as a game it just feels so cheap and nasty. How on earth they could release this, all those years to develop and the hype as well, staggering.:(

Tax-free Growth & Tax-Free, Qualified Distributions A Roth IRA differs from a Traditional IRA in that contributions to a Roth IRA are taken after-tax, which means your savings grow tax-free. Because the contributions have already been taxed, you can make qualified, typically tax-free withdrawals, even if your income or changes in the economy move you into a higher tax bracket.

About the Program
The Literacy Specialist M.A.program is a 32-point program that leads to New York State certification in Teaching Literacy. This program is designed to immerse the literacy educator in an intense study of practice, theory, and research.The eventual goal is to prepare each participant to assume a leadership role in literacy education.
The program regards the teaching of reading and writing as complex undertakings, and strives to equip its students to teach well. Students investigate individual literacy learning, group literacy learning, teacher development,community partnerships, institutional change, and other contemporary and political issues facing literacy education. The program assumes that teachers' own literacy work will be a source of knowledge and inspiration in their teaching. Students write creatively as well as professionally, participate in their own reading clubs, and keep portfolio sof their own reading and writing development.
The TC faculty in literacy have along history of social action with areas of special interest that include curriculum development in reading and writing, school reform, process approaches to reading and writing, content area literacies, ethnographic studies of literacy, designing professional development programs, research on the impact of class, race, and gender on literacy learning, and children's literature. The faculty supports students as they participate in challenging courses, engage in readings, learn from mentorships, and conduct their own action-research projects in which they demonstrate their abilities to synthesize theory and practice and to weave the two throughout their individual work.
Teachers College students in the Literacy Specialist program have the opportunity to work with the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project (TCRWP)—a think-tank and professional development organization that works infield-based ways with more than a thousand schools throughout New York City,the nation, and the world. Students can intern in schools that are Project strongholds and apprentice with mentor teachers,research staff development and school reform. Students also have the option to apply for the role of TCRWP fellows. This role gives access to any of more than 200 full day conferences offered each year.These conferences are led by Project staff and by scores of major literacy leaders from across the nation. For example, Georgia Heard, Katherine Bomer, Maurice Sykes, Smokey Daniels, Pedro Noguera, Dick Allington, Ellin Keene, Kylene Beers, Randy Bomer, David Booth,Roland Barth, Carl Anderson, and Donald Bear are among those who lead conference days every year. You will learn more about this role during registration.
Students who wish to research and improve their own literacy teaching and who want to serve in leadership positions so as to help others do the same will thrive in this program. Students who wish to engage in scholarly work may decide to continue their education through the doctoral level.

Comments on her first book, "Drift: The Unmooring of American Military Power"
America is in urgent need of a real debate over its addiction to sprawling militarism and endless war. It affects, and degrades, every aspect of national life: political, cultural, and economic. Nobody is better positioned to trigger that debate than Rachel Maddow, and that's exactly what she does in this startlingly insightful and well-written book. By stripping away the propaganda that distorts national security policy and laying bare its reality, Maddow has written one of those rare political books that can transform Americans' understanding of what their government is actually doing."
- GLENN GREENWALD, columnist for Salon, author of Liberty and Justice for Some
"In Drift, Rachel Maddow brings her passion, wit, cool common sense and intellectual firepower to the epic and darkly farcical story of how America has declined into an overfunded and unchecked national security state – one that inflicts more damage on America's assets, our military included, than it does on our adversaries. At a crossroads when Americans of all stripes are rethinking their country's priorities, Maddow's compelling take on how we drifted into the costly habit of perennial war – and how we might yet reverse it – could not be more timely."
"Here's this conservative's assessment of Rachel Maddow's Drift: It's scathingly funny, deeply insightful, and informed throughout by a deep and abiding sense of patriotism. Bravo, Rachel!"
- ANDREW J. BACEVICH, author of Washington Rules
"Written with the flair for scintillating satire that has endeared Rachel Maddow to liberals and moderates alike--and infuriated neo-conservatives, evangelicals, and some tea partiers--Drift is funny, rich, and right. But at its end, when you put it down, you will be troubled. We are losing our republic and Ms. Maddow tells you why."
- LAWRENCE WILKERSON, Professor of Government and Public Policy at the College of William and Mary and former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell
"Rachel Maddow's Drift is a long overdue and provocative examination of the abuses, excesses and just plain foolish elements in our national security systems. These are issues that deserve our attention.
- TOM BROKAW, NBC News Special Correspondent
"In Drift, people who love Rachel Maddow will discover that her gift for finding amazing anecdotes and funny, revealing details totally translates to the page. People who hate her may be surprised by how often in Drift she espouses some of the most conservative values: a suspicion of big government and unbridled federal power, a zeal to cut wasteful spending and a yearning to return to the intentions of the Founding Fathers."
- IRA GLASS, host of public radio's "This American Life"

The College .News �-C �.*�. VOL. XVIII, No. 12 WAYNE AND BRYN MAWR. PA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1932 Price, 10 Cent* Dr. Panofsky Speaks on Medieval Classicism Denies Antique Culture Died Out in Middle Ages Persisted in Different Form RENAISSANCE ADDS LIFE Classical Mythology in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance waff* the subject on which Dr. Edwin Panofsky spoke last Wednesday night in the Common Room of Goodhart. As Mr. Warburg said, in his able introduc- tion, in Germany the concluding argu- ment on all questions concerning art is what Dr. Panofsky has to say upon the subject In his stimulating lec- ture the college heard what he had to say on the vulgarization of classi- j- cal art in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The popular conception that classical culture and particular- ly classical art sank in the Middle Ages and revived in the Renaissance, is wrong. It persisted particualrly after Charlemagne, who started a re- vival of antiquity in almost every cul- * tural field. The form in which it sur- vived was utterly different from our present idea of antiquity, which only came with the Renaissance. Medieval works of art which do not invest classical forms with new meaning, but which are meant to be . a visualization of the classical idea itself, show best its continuation. Where the classical is handed down directly from classical images, it is called the representational tradition; where it is evolved as the illustration of a literary text describing it, the literary tradition. The representational tradition de- veloped through astronomical and as- trological pictures. The primitive orientals identified certain constella- tions -with - mythological-heroes &n& divinities, and the Greeks went on from this to invest every natural phe- nomenon with a mythical meaning. In the Carolingian Renovation il- luminators copied the antique mytho- logical picture-books which had been taken from gradual associations and development of mythological heroes with astronomy. In the High Middle Ages classical form and classical sub- jects were separated as artists devel- oped a new and independent manner of viewing things. They transform- ed the antique prototypes, so that they became unrecognizable and the repre- sentational tradition of mythological figures became decomposed. Arabian types were assimilated, which meant an absorption of knowledge which was classical with respect to subject and methods, but hidden within non- classical images, with Arabian names. The literary tradition is followed in Medieval representations by planet- gods, which were believed to rule and guide every mans' life. The Arab- ians represented those in synoptical tables called "planet's-children pic- (Continued on Pag** Three) New Entrance Examination System Planned for B. M. In chapel last Tuesday Miss Park spoke on the new entrance examina- tion system, under which Bryn Mawr will admit students on either Plan A or Plan B examinations. The old Plan, Plan A, requiring an examina- tion in every subject, served to hold a certain quantitative standard for en- trance into college classes. In 1911 Harvard instituted the New Plan, which required only one set of exam- inations covering four subjects, which, within limits, the students could choose for themselves. These exam- inations were accompanied by a very full school record, a detailed state- ment by the head of the school, and, of late years, the Scholastic Aptitude Tests. All of the data thus gained was correlated and used to form a picture of the prospective student. In 1919, a large majority of the women's colleges went over to this plan. Vas- sar admits students under no other system today, having completely drop- ped Plan A. Bryn Mawr is the last college requiring entrance examina- tions to consent to the New Plan. And even now students will be admitted under both plans. Miss Park point- ed out the advantage of the did Plan, which defined very neatly the amount of work required for admission to the college class. The comprehensive ex- amination, while more vague in this respect, serves above all as a test of how the student can handle examina- tions. Although the college is re- luctant to lose the advantage of the old system, the modern idea of edu- cation favors the more comprehensive and personal system and Bryn Mawr is falling in with the trend of the times. Marriage Statistics m Postponed THFJJEWS regrets extreme- ly that it was unable to com- plete the tabulation of the sta- tistics on the marriage question- naire for this issue. Any analy- sis published this week would necessarily have been an incon- clusive statement. - A full analysis of the results will be printed in the issue of February 24. A general survey of the college replies and de- tailed comparisons of classes and hall opinions will be in- cluded. Dr. Lake Discusses Paul's Contemporaries Christian Position Paul First Persecuted Then Upheld is Explained EXPERIENCES MYSTICAL Curriculum Committee Members At a meeting of the Undergradu- ate Curriculum Committee, February 11, three freshmen were appointed to represent the interests of 1985 on" the Committee�Sarah Flanders, Barbara Lewis, Nancy Robinson. The committee decided that during the second semester it would try to collect student opinion about possible new courses and changes in existing courses. Anyone with definite ideas on this subject should try to see a member of the Committee as soon as possible. HARRIET MOORE, Chairman of Curriculum Committee. Business Board Tryouts THE COLLEGE NEWS an- nounces annual tryouts for the Business Board. Two places are open. The position is remuner- ative and a useful and enjoyable experience. Will those interest- ed see M. Atmore, 54 Denbigh, any afternoon but Friday, from 1.30 to 2? Cornelia Drake '33 Chosen May Queen by _College.Ypj� The final elections for Muy Queen took place Tuesday afternoon and re- sulted in the election of Cornelia Drake. Miss Drake is a member of the Class of 1933 and a resident of Merion Hall. Prepared by the Schip- ley School, she was active in dramat- ics there and has worked often under the direction of Mr. King. Plays in her repertoire include "Twelfth Night," "Joan of Arc," and the "Green Stocking." Her only appear- ance on the Bryn Mawr stage was in the Freshman Show, where she had a small singing part. We have been able to gather the following sta- tistics on Miss Drake's physical qual- ifications for the May Queen; she is five feetl six inches tall, weights one hundred and eleven pounds (having just gained ten pounds), is anaemic, has always been a blonde, and sports twenty-four inches of the all-import- ant hair. Recent alumnae will be in- terested), to know that Miss Drake is the sister of Mary Drake, 1931, who was very active in dramatics here. The NEWS adds its best wishes and congratulations to ; those of the college. B. M. Basketball Teams Win Two Victories Over Ursinus On Saturday, February 13, Bryn Mawr registered a double victory over Ursinus. The varsity game was characterized by a good deal of rough playing, and the constant fouls slowed up the game. Bryn Mawr played an excellent game during the first quar- ter, but after that the team seemed to lose its co-ordination and precision. The final quarter saw a tired varsity determinedly defending the lead piled up in the first period. The second-team game was a good deal rougher and correspondingly more muddled and slipshod. Due to several players being banished from the game on fouls, the lineup had to be shifted, and a somewhat poorly played game was the unfortunate re- sult. It is distinctly unfortunate that Bryn Mawr teams allow the rough- ness of their opponents spoil their game and reduce basketball to some- thing of a refined free-for-all. (Continued on Page Four) Qp Monday evening Dr. Kirsopp Lake gave the second of the Flexner lectures entitled "Paul's Contempor- aries." In the Jerusalem which Paul knew the dominant Jews were the Priests and the Saducees, while the Pharasees, rigid upholders of the law, formed the party to which Paul be- longed. "If any of us knew what truth is, there would be a great deal to say for persecution," went on Dr. Lake, "but Paul felt it his duty to pei-secute Christians because they were saying things that he felt to be untrue. Even today, however, I think we feel that there is a great deal to be said for toleration. The best way to answer a fool is to let him talk." The doubtful, thing which must be explained on iv.i*di iiR the Bi 1>1 <� is what the exa,ct position was that Paul first persecuted and later upheld. We are quite sure of two points of the position: that Jesus was the Son of God and that He would judge the world on the Day of Judgment rapidly approaching. After his vision Paul was persuaded that the Chris- tians were right. The question now arises, why were some of the Christians persecuted and others not? The twelve apostles got off very lightly, while Stephen was stoned. This must have been the result of some difference in their teaching and may be connected with the difference between the liberal and the orthodox Jews of the time in Palestine. Stephen represents the dispersion, while Peter and the twelve represent the views of Palestine. Paul had the fchoice of living outside Jerus- alem or not living at all. Paul's strategy as a missionary was perhaps not the most tactful. His first 'step upon reaching a town was to go to the synagogue, where he would find a fringe of Greeks won- dering whether to be persuaded to become Jews or not. Paul told them to join the Church instead and their place in the future world would be secure. Consequently, the Synagogue felt bitter and intensely hated Paul for snatching their converts away from their very door. It was only the steady policy of Rome under the tradition of Augustus that saved him. Take, for instance, two places where Paul had a great deal of trouble� Corinth and Rome. It is difficult in the writings of the (Continued on Page Four) Editorial Board Tryouts The annual tryouts for the Editorial Board of The College News will begin this week. Four people will be taken on as re- porters. Candidates are asked to come to the College News room in Goodhart Hall at 5.30 on Thursday, February 18, in order that the requirements may be explained. The posi- tions are open to members of the Freshman, Sophomore and Junior classes. Mrs. Barnes Tells Woman Author's Point of View Freshman Show Reveals Phoenix Class Animal On Thursday, Feb. 11, Margaret Ayer Barnes, author of "Years of Grace" and "Westward Passage," be- sides a number of plays and short stories, told the story of her career "Behind the Typewriter." Five years ago Mrs. Barnes had no idea of writ- ing. In 1925, during a long period of convalescence from an automobile accident in France, she wrote some short stories as amusement, but still with no thought of selling them. A friend suggested trying to sell them and Mrs. Barnes was frankly surpris- ed at the outcome. In the five years since this beginning she has written ten short stories, three plays, and two novels. The business end of writing takes up an unimaginable amount of time and it is a great deal for the mother of three children to have ac- complished. The world does not think a great woman can also be a good mother, and the spns of great men are prov- erbially of no account. All of which Mrs. Barnes says means nothing, be- cause a child amounts to what be has in him, and nothing provides him with a better background than to have his parents doing something of worth while interest. From the auth- or's point of view, an "atmosphere of pleasant domestic confusion is the very best atmosphere in which to write." Nothing can teach one so much about humanity as the presence of one's family, for they are usually very outspoken. Women, writing dif- ferently from men, with their keener eye for feminine detail, find their most fertile field in the family novel. In "A Room of One's Own" Virginia Woolf brings out this point of view, (Continued on Pag* Two) Performance is Ably Executed With Good Dancing, Music and Staging BETTY LORD WAS STAR Our Religion Should Be Challenge to Intelligence In chapel last Sunday night the Rev. Remson Ogilby, President of Trinity College, Hartford, Conn., de- livered the address on the "Relation of Intelligence to the Consideration of Religion." He has, ho declared, often pointed out to his students how greatly they differ from the students of the old University of Paris; how different is "The Saturday Evening Post" from "La Chanson de Roland," or Rudolph Valentino from Abelard. Too many things in our heritage tend to minimize intelligence, for instance, the Victorian novel, in which anyone possessing the least degree Of intelli- gence, like Becky Sharpe, is seen as a disgreeable character. Today W. J. Locke is the only novelist whose he- roes are intellectual human beings. Instead of "Vanity Fair" and its kind, we should read Browning, who realized that wisdom and goodness are dependent on each other, and "Hamlet," an intellectual man faced with a problem requiring action. The gradual elaboration of the original Bible stories shows how great an intellectual interest religion inspired in the ancients. Is our re- ligion today the same challenge to the intelligence, or is it merely a state of acquiesence? When we ar- gue about religion, have our words any background of wisdom, or at least of learning? This is not meant to imply that religion should be a cold examination of facts, but rather that it should appeal actively to our intel- ligence and not linger on as a tradi- tion blindly accepted merely because it has been passed on to us. Lent is ridiculous today because in so many years of unquestioning accept- ance its meaningVhas been forgotten. What was once a memorial of the greatest spiritual struggle which any man has ever undergone, is now de- graded to a bit of perfunctory, un- thinking physical self-denial. If we wish to remember the solemn days for which Lent stands, the best we can do is to impose on ourselves some mental discipline; for "the first, and great commandment" of Jesus says: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all' thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." The Freshman Show last Saturday night, dedicated by the Class of 1935, to their sister Class of 1933, was called "Wrong Again," in challenge to the routed Sophomores who really were wrong again. The class animal is a phoenix. It was the passionate conviction of the snoops on the case that the animal was an African buf- falo, known as an emu, but secrecy and an original tune baffled them and there was no parody to the animal song. As a proper environment for the phoenix, the Freshman Show chose the pyramids of Egypt. The pldt centered around an expeditionary force from the Bronx Zoo in search of a sacred animal supposed to be hidden in the pyramids. The love in- terest was sustained by the young daughter of the leader, who thought "the patht wath jtht too beeoutiful" and her devoted swain who had to pose as a mummy to make an im- pression on his lady fair. The laurels of the performance go to Miss Lord, the lisping and lan- guishing heroine. Her collapsible parasol was a highlight of the eve- ning. Out of a rather feeble sat of lines she made a marvelous musical comedy ingenue. Her mixture of the comic and the romantic was delight- ful, and she moved and spoke with an ease and naturalness which few of her less experienced fellows show- ed. Marie Hayes, as Michael, the hero, was more effective in the skirts of her mummy disguise than in her linen jodhpurs. Miss Hayes has charm and a certain amount of abil- ity as an actress, but she is inade- quate in a masculine role. Betsy Bates was very near to perfection in the part of the second man. She danced well, sang well, and delivered what japes fell to her role with considerable eclat. Mildred Smith, Fatima, made her an excellent side partner, and their song, "Get On Your Toes," was the best musical event of the evening. The other members of the cast, with the exception of Ali, the guide, were all distinguished by the inadequacy that marred Miss Hayes' characteri- zation. All the convincing men seem- ed to have been reserved for the Leg- ionnaires' song and drill, but consid- ering the success of the latter, it is hard to quarrel with the casting. The costuming director, Miss Hopkinson, and Miss Morse, who trained the chorus, are certainly to be congratu- lated, for the striking unifofms and the mechanical precision of the drill- ing made the scene a climax of stag- ing. A no tier high spot was the beau- tifully poseo? Egyptian dance done by Miss Lukens and Miss Bill. Here again the staging was good, and we are lost in admiration of Miss Bill, who designed the dance�a most im- pressive, though simple, series of poses and slow transitions. Though (Continued on Page Two) German Oral Date The German oral examination now scheduled for Saturday, May 7, will have to be changed on account of May Day. The Schedule Committee invites ex- pression of opinion by the un- dergraduates whether the ex- amination should be put on April 30, and the French exami- nation moved to April 23, or whether the majority would prefer the German oral to come May 14, the Saturday before the beginning 6f the collegiate ex- aminations. Mrs. Manning would like -fo meet with all the students tak- ing the German examination on Monday, February 22, at 1.30 in Room F, Taylor, in order to discuss the question. � ; ./.

Mandy sounds wrong on this page. Too poetic. First thing that came to my mind was that Mandy seems like the kind of person who thinks "nothing is sacred", even her own stuff. Other then that the sentences seem too flowery and the diction seems to high. Like the world "grant".
Also lets look at the faucet Mimi used. Why is a faucet with such a short hose right there in the room? That's right no reason at all. Mimi just pulled that out of her hammer space and connected it to the piping... unless there was no pipe conveniently running under that room, in which case she just hit ground water... unless she also pulled the ground water out of her hammer space.

I see some (very nice) pics of sperm wales... and a big tentacle.... but I was really hoping to see some proof that the wale acctually ATE the squid. Neat find nonetheless
Eating on the Go
Photograph by Tony Wu, Barcroft/Fame Pictures
Carrying the remains of a roughly 30-foot (9-meter) giant squid in her jaws, a female sperm whale, with a calf at her side, swims near the surface off Japan's Bonin Islands (map) in the northwestern Pacific. Taken on October 15, this and other "absolutely sensational" new pictures offer rare proof of the sperm whale's taste for giant squid, said giant squid expert Steve O'Shea of the Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand.
The pictures may also reveal that adult sperm whales, which grow up to 59 feet (18 meters) long, use pieces of their prizes to teach youngsters how to catch their own, O'Shea told National Geographic News.
The group of five adults and one calf kept diving deep in unison, photographer Tony Wu told the Daily Mail. "It seemed as if the adult whales were trying to teach the baby to dive and also to eat squid," he said.

Saving It for Later?
Photograph by Tony Wu, Barcroft/Fame Pictures
Eating on the run, a female sperm whale carries the remains of a giant squid off the Bonin Islands, about 621 miles (1,000 kilometers) south of Tokyo, on October 15, 2009.
The whale almost certainly carried the giant morsel up from the dark depths of the nearby Osagawara Trench, a favorite hunting ground of sperm whales. The whales routinely dive for an hour or more to depths of up to 3,280 feet (1,000 meters) in pursuit of giant squid, which are thought to rarely venture higher than 1,000 feet (300 meters) below sea level.
Battles between giant squid and sperm whales often leave the whales scarred with sucker marks. Until recently, such wounds--along with analysis of sperm whale stomach contents--were the only proof of the whales' appetite for giant squid.

A Whale of a Party
Photograph by Tony Wu, Barcroft/Fame Pictures
A female sperm whale, carrying a piece of giant squid in her mouth, leads a gargantuan dinner party in the northwestern Pacific on October 15, 2009. Sperm whales are voracious hunters of squid—the species as a whole consumes an estimated 110 million tons a year.
Aiding the sperm whale in its hunts is the world's largest brain, which is surrounded by patches of spermaceti. Once used in candles and ointments, the white, waxy substance was long ago mistaken for the whale's sperm, leading to the species' curious name.

Letting Go
Photograph by Tony Wu, Barcroft/Fame Pictures
Part of a sperm whale's catch--a giant squid--drifts free in one of the rare pictures captured in the Pacific on October 15, 2009.
The whale at right was also photographed carrying the giant morsel in her mouth--rare evidence of the whales' taste for giant squid, which some researchers say can grow to 43 feet (13 meters) long and weigh more than 600 pounds (272 kilograms).
The whales use sophisticated echolocation--similar to sonar--to find their quarry in the pitch blackness of the deep.

A Deep-Sea Arm

An 11.5-foot-long (3.5-meter-long) leftover, this giant squid arm was recovered at the surface from another sperm whale hunt on October 14, 2009, in the same place as feeding frenzy photographed underwater the next day.
At this site in 2006, a Japanese expedition had captured the first ever images of a live giant squid.
During the rare October 15 photo shoot, photographer Tony Wu was "absolutely ecstatic," he told National Geographic News. "But completely focused on making sure I got photos."RELATED STORIES

Antonio Mattei Biscotti di Prato - 500g
Country of Origin: Italy
Region: Tuscany
City / Village: Prato
We were the first store stateside to import these Tuscan biscotti. When they were put on the shelves, we had no idea how many of our customers would recognize them. Our first shipment sold out in days.
Hand-made by Francesco Pandolfini and family in Prato, Italy just as they have been for generations. We were amazed at how much product comes out of the small store front and everything from the shaping of the dough to the tying of the ribbon is done by hand.
Small and blissfully simple, these are the real thing. Made of sugar, flour, eggs, pinenuts and almonds. Very addictive, great with Vin Santo or a cup of espresso.

Replenish Multi-Surface Cleaner
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
Our multi-purpose eco pick was also one of our VIP (Very Innovative Product) Award winners in 2012. Replenish's Multi-Surface Cleaner comes in cute little squeezable pods, but it's in grime-fighting mode once you screw the pod into the spray bottle included in the starter kit and dilute with water. (Each pod makes three bottles of this plant-based cleanser in either lemon, lavender, green tea, or unscented varieties). The easy-to-use spray outshone much of the competition on glass cleaning in our test, and it tidied other surfaces effectively as well, without leaving much grease residue behind.

Stephen Strasburg will pitch tonight … if the game is played.
Hello from Nationals Park! Yes, it's been a while since I've said that. It's great to be back after nearly two weeks on paternity leave, though I have to say I'm surprised so much media has showed up for my big return. By the way, does anyone know who's pitching tonight?…
I kid, I kid. Stephen Strasburg is scheduled to make his 2011 debut against the Dodgers. But as you know, the weather here is awful. Been raining all day, and it's not supposed to stop until the end of the week. The above photo was taken when the tarp had just been removed, but it's since been re-placed over the infield.
I wish I could tell you right now whether the game will be played, when it will be played and what the Strasburg plan is for each various scenario. But I know nothing right now. None of us do. We're just going to have to wait and see.
I'll be sure to post any updates I can on here, so please check back. For more immediate updates, you can access my Twitter page…
