Copyright, 1922, by The College Niwi College VOLUtiE VIII. No. 18. BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22, 1922 Price 10 Cents FACULTY PLAYERS PRESENT CLEVER KITCHEN COMEDIES The Dansant Follows Performance. Russian Relief Nets Over $120. The latent dramatic talent and versatility of tht faculty appeared last Saturday after- noon in the two one-act plays put on by Miss Amphillis Middlemore, instructor in . English composition, and other members of the faculty for the benefit of Russian Famine Relief. Supporting Miss Middle- more, who took leading parts in both plays, were Mrs. Alys Russell, he'ad warden, Mile. Marthe Trotain, instructor in French, and Dr. William Roy Smith, professor of history. . Both plays, as stated in the advance notice published last week, were culinary. In the first, "Between the Soup and the Savoury," ^nss Middlemore appeared as "Emily," a kitchen maid of unbeautiful aspect and romantic leanings, much ridi- culed for wanting a "young man." Her acting, from the cockney accent to the turn-in of her toes, was so excellent as to keep the audience perpetually chuckling. Especially did she show" her cleverness in tricks of facial expression and small ges- ture, culminating in the inimitable half- wistful, half-fervid rendering of the stolen love-letter. Mrs. Russell, as the cook, also showed herself an accomplished actress. Although she did not master the cockney quite "as well as Miss Middlemore, the assurance and spirit with which she played her part were admirable. Mile. Trotain, the super- cilious French housemaid Julie, naturally had no difficulty with accent. Her viva* ciousness and haughty good looks con- trasted sharply with Emily's sulky drab- ness, and her best piece of acting was when she laughed long and merrily over the idea of "Emily with a young man." "Lima Beans," the second piece, was played by Mile. Trotain and Miss Middle- more, assisted by Dr. Smith, whose part, though excellently played, was largely con- fined to off-stage. The play is a fantastic piece, very difficult to render, since it is on the order of a marionnette skit, but both actresses, Mile. Trotain as "Sweet Wife," and Miss Middlemore as "Sweet Husband," did their parts charmingly. This play, more than the other, lacked the advantages of lighting and stage. After the performances were*over tea was served, and dancing went on until six- thirty. The music was provided by the Freshman orchestra, consisting of Y. Sabin, V. Carpenter, E. Stuart, A. Woodworth, R. Heller, D. Lee, and H. Cornish. The proceeds for Russian Relief made by this performance amount to approxi- mately $120. By special request, the first play, "Be- tween the Soup and the Savoury," was repeated in the evening to a large and enthusiastic audience. 8ELF GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION ' �> ELECTS NEW BOARD Julia Ward and K. Strauss were elected as president and vice-president of the Self- Government Association last week. Miss Ward has been on the board since her Freshman year and is at present Junior class president Other "elections were: first Junior mem- ber, P. Coyne; second Junior membeY, B. Price; Sophomore member, N. Hough. Miss Coyne is 1924's stage manager, and has worked on C. A. Committees; Miss Price was on Freshman Committee and is Vice-President of her class this year; Miss Hough was a member oi 1925's Freshman Committee. BRYN MAWR DEFEATS PENN BASKET BALL TEAM 55-15 * ______ Quick Passing on Both Sides Charac- terizes Saturday's �ame Varsity's splendid teamwork and the good Sportsmanship of its opponents made the basket ball game on Saturday between Bryn Mawr and Penn the best of the season. The teams were more. eveply matched than the score would seem to show and the . fighting was keen throughout. Bryn Mawr invariably got the ball mi a jump, there were few fouls called and the pass- ing was extremely pretty o*- both sides. In the second half Penn's teamwork was better, and it was in this half she- made all but one of her goals. . -C. Remark, '25, starred for Bryn Mawr, getting the ball easily and invariably tip- ping it in; she was aided, especially in the first half, by very generous passing of H. Rice, '23. H. RiCe herself played her usual quiet, steady game, tossing in some spec- tacular goals in the second half. F. Mar- tin, '23, and M. Palache, '24, played a sure, (.Continued on page 5) WOMEN HAVE CHARTER RIGHTS IN CZECH REPUBLIC Have Always Participated in National Movement (Specially con&ibuleU) No privileges of sex, birth or profession are admitted by the Constitutional Charter of the Czecho-Slovak .Republic. Although there has never been any special campaign for woman suffrage in Czecho-Slovakia, the women of that country have the same rights as men Slnd have already proved themselves able to help in the building up of the new state. This important position of women, an example to other nations, is said to be the natural result of the histori- cal development of their educational life. As far back as the fourteenth century, many women numbered among the pupils of John Huss, who were striving for a fuller spiritual life. Under the Austrian yoke of later years, the women fought steadily against the efforts to Germanize their nation. In the last part of the nine- teenth century these Czech women fought with the men for the general right of suffrage, although they knew that Austria would never grant this to*women alone Since then the Czech men have elected a woman deputy to the County Diet, who was the first of her sex in all Europe tc hold the position. Women were prominent more recently on the National Committee, which was re- sponsible for the formation of the National Assembly in October, 1918, the day when the independence of Czecho-Slovakia was agreed upon, and now they have open to them all fields of political life. They have obtained the right to work af any occupa- tion and at any school and have even the power to lead and tp organize. No sep- arate political organization has been formed, but in all political parties there is a women's committee, and they are rep- resented "in all political and government organizations. PRESIDENT THOMAS ANNOUNCES EUROPEAN FELLOW; THREE GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS ALSO AWARDED; SEVEN SENIORS TO GRADUATE MAGNA CUM LAUDE Three Freshmen* remain in the News competition for the fourth week of the contest. They are: M. Constant, M. Stewardson, and K. Starr. SLYVA THURLOW 1922 FELLOW Sylva Thurlow, of Philadelphia, was announced European , Fellow of the Class of 1922 by President Thomas in chapel last Friday morning. Her grade is the highest in her class, 262, accord- ing to the new honor point system, and her group is chemistry and phys- ics. This is the first time that the fel- lowship has l>een given in this group. Miss Thurlow was prepared by the Girls' High School, West Philadelphia, and came to the College in 1948 as the Philadelphia City Scholar, which scholarship she also held during her Sophomore and Junior -years. Last year she was also the James E. Rhoads Junior Scholar and Special Scholar, and this year she held the Charles S. Hinchman Memorial Scholarship for special ability in group subjects. �*� ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION BARS TRACK IN TENSEJSESSION Decide to Remove Track Points From Athletic Championship Carrying the motion by. 71 to 54, the Athletic Association voted to abolish track as a minor sport, counting points towards the athletic championship, at a meeting called by petition last Friday in Taylor. The question of giving up gymnasium meets to count class points was laid on the table. The individual nature of track as a sport was brought up as an argument u do away with it, as well as current feel- ing against over organization of athletics. The abuse of class "spirit in regard to get- ting people to try out for track was also discussed. What shall be substituted for the gym- nasium meets in case they are abolished is not within the power of the Association to decide, according to Miss Applebee, from whom a letter was read during a vehement discussion of this point. The motion to have the question was defeated and the matter of meets laid on the table. MISS AMY LOWELL TO SPEAK FOR CHINESE SCHOLARSHIP Miss Amy Lowell will give the second of a series of lectures on Chinese Civiliza- tion and Culture in aid of the Bryn Mawr Chinese Philosophic and Religious Thought, noon, at the Bellevue-Stratford. Her sub- ject is Chinese poetry. Professor John Dewey will speak on Chinese Philosophic and Religious Thought, on Friday, March 31. Mr. Langdon War- ner will �give a lecture illustrated by lantern slides, on the following Thursdav. Tickets at $1.50 may be obtained at the alumnae office. ____ DEBATER8 DI8CU8S COMPREHEN- SIVE SY8TEM OF EXAMINATIONS "That the comprehensive system of ex- aminations should be adopted at Bryn Mawr," was the subject chosen by the De- bating Club for last Tuesday's debate. The unanimous vote of the judges showed that the arguments put forward by the team stw-'-'vb: ^ i*~.;tfee� affirmative were the stronger and more persuasive. Wider, less superficial knowledge, harder work with less dependence on professors, and the impossibility of cramming were the points stressed by the affirmative side.

Circular Quay
Waterfront near Sydney Opera House and city centre
Sydney, Australia
Contributed by Project for Public Spaces
In many ways, Circular Quay is the "heart of Sydney," and its success is due to the essential role it plays in the city's daily life.
Why It Works
One end of the Quay connects to Jorn Utzon's famed Sydney Opera House, and the other with The Rocks, an area that constitutes Sydney's historic "original village." Ferries, subways, trains and buses arrive and depart from the Quay, making it a transportation hub for commuters, tourists and others. It also serves as a pedestrian connection among some major tourist attractions, and has services along its length oriented both to tourists as well as locals: fresh produce stands and food shops selling fish, bread, meats, and wines, etc.
The Quay's appeal for locals is its function as the essential transit center for the central business district. A majority of downtown commuters live across Sydney Bay and use ferries to travel to work. With its aesthetic, practical and efficient qualities, the Quay functions as an effective transition space between the docks and the downtown.
Both locals and tourists alike delight in the comfortable and well-maintained space that the Quay provides. Small cafes and restaurants serve light lunches to office workers, who also make use of the benches and walls situated along the Quay. Tourists and families are attracted by the buskers, spectacular views, and details such as the Writers' Walk - a pathway from the Quay to the Opera House tiled with plaques commemorating Australian writers (including Peter Carey, Miles Franklin, and Germaine Greer) and those who focused on Australia (Charles Darwin, Joseph Conrad, Mark Twain).
History & Background
Sydney, a city graced with copious sunshine and sheltered from the wind by protecting ridges, has grown up around its waterfront; indeed the waterfront is a national focal point. Circular Quay gradually built up at the side of Sydney Cove, the 1788 landing-place of the British convict ships which brought Sydney's original citizens. Circular Quay is the "hard edge" along the water - essentially, it is a public space connecting transit, pedestrian and civic elements. Framing the Quay are Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, among the most popular and internationally known images of the city and the country. The Quay is a perennial site for civic celebrations; in 1994, for example, crowds gathered there to celebrate the awarding of the 2000 Olympics to Sydney. http://www.sydney.com.au/quay.htm

Source: The Learning Channel documentary "The Aliens Have Landed"
A woman named "Judy" claims to be an abductee. Before this she was a skeptic and her only knowledge of aliens was from the movie E.T., which she watched with her kids. Since then Judy feels as she has been "more or less jolted into an entirely different reality." At some point she was awoken in the middle of the night by a flash of light. Unable to move Judy describes her hands feeling as if they were in an electrical socket. She screamed for her husband but he was unresponsive. A "bright blue light" shone through and the aliens appeared. Judy claims she had a "tremendous remembering" of the identity of one of them when it looked at her. Somehow it was able to say to her "Are you ready? Let's go." Judy responded by asking where they were going. She had a feeling of being lifted from the bed and remembers that at the time it felt fun. Meanwhile the rational art of her mind is in a state of fear. Judy reports seeing a huge ship and being amazed at the size of it. Once aboard she blacks out and remembers nothing else.
Ufologist Dr. David Jacobs has been investigating alien visitation for 30 years and claims that things take a very dark turn.
"I've come to think that the abduction phenomenon is a catastrophe in the making. I think that we're looking at a fairly disastrous situation, I don't think that there's any good good is going to come out of this and I've learned to fear it."
"For years we used to think that this was simply an experiment or study. A learning situation for these beings. I find no evidence for that whatsoever. What I find is a systematic program of exploitation by one species of another. People say that sperm is being taken, eggs are being harvested and little embryos are being implanted in women who act as hosts for them for about ten weeks or so and then fetuses are being removed and we think that this is the core of the core of the abduction phenomenon. The manufacture and production of these fetuses."
"I cannot say absolutely that it's an intergrationist society the gravings that those people talk about. But I do think that it is these beings that are being produced in essence with their human sperm and human eggs and I think that this will happen most likely, and here I'm going out on a limb, but most likely in our lifetimes. Sooner rather than later as the phrase goes."
Acording to Dr. Jacobs we don't widely know what's going on because they don't want us to know. That we wouldn't like what they're doing and would try to stop it.
"Most people don't tell their families even. I mean they you know let alone concoct a hoax to convince me."
Anna Jameson is a multiple abductee.
"The children that they're breeding are...some lost species. I wish I knew why."
"I was a good breeder for them. I hated it. It violated me it violated my body and there was nothing I could do about it. They took took a hybrid baby, from my body. It's very tough, very difficult for me to deal with. It was about the size of a pear. At that point I didn't care. It was theirs. I didn't want anything to do with it."
"And I think one of the most disturbing things is they squeak. They can't seem to make any other noise but squeak, uh and they seem so, so needy. They seem to want human contact."
On a personal note I have to say that ANYONE who comes forward and talks about their own abduction experiences is a hero. Not just to themselves but to others. They've gone trhough something traumatic and refuse to let it overtake them any more than it allready does. Each one that speaks in turn encourages others. They are all a great source that will help us get to the truth.

Culinary Arts Schools in Virginia
Thinking about attending culinary school? Virginia's food culture and local products make it a top contender for any student's attention. The eastern shore of Virginia, between Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, is home to a wide variety of delicious seafood, including fresh oysters and clams. Farmland is also plentiful: chefs interested in buying locally-made products, regional produce, or grass-fed beef can find small farms and artisanal food producers throughout the state. Additionally, vine-centric magazines Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast have both recently identified Virginia wineries as up-and-coming stars. Those interested in soul food and southern cooking can find plenty of it here, too. All in all, the chefs are doing well, as Virginia's chefs have been recognized nationally by the James Beard Foundation for their excellence and innovation. If you're eager to be a part of this food scene, culinary schools in Virginia provide students the space to hone skills and gain confidence before venturing out into the workforce.
Virginia Culinary Schools, Local Cuisine, and Restaurants
The Bureau of Labor Statistics found in 2013 that Virginia's chefs and head cooks earned an annual average salary of $43,660. Virginia residents and visitors simply appreciate good food, and the restaurant sector shows it. The Washington-Arlington-Alexandria metropolitan area in particular has been singled out by bls.gov for having a high employment level for chef and head cook positions. Furthermore, the National Restaurant Association in early 2014 found that the restaurant sector employed nine percent of the state's residents.
Industry veterans attest that experience is key for moving up in a culinary career; landing a restaurant job doesn't usually require a degree. However, many have found that culinary schools provide skills and confidence that can be valuable in the workplace. Baking and pastry schools, hotel and restaurant management schools, and culinary arts schools in Virginia are located throughout the state. Get started today on making your dream a reality, and have a look at the list below to find potential programs that fit your needs.

2010 in review
Forgive me for feeling a little retrospective at this time of year and looking back, misty eyed over what has been before knocking back a few glasses of champagne and heading into 2011.
- Dinner – Heston Blumenthal's new restaurant which opens in February. I have a booking for the first week so it looks like this is one wish that is going to get fulfilled.
- Viajante – This restaurant seems to divide people into a love or hate camp. American in London seemed to like it which is enough to make me want to try it. Anyway, I would like to go and make up my own mind while enjoying Nuno Mendes innovative cooking.
- Fernandez and Leluu – 2010 has been the year in which supper clubs really took off and so I would love to attend Fernandez and Leluu's supper club which the guru of supper clubs, The London Foodie, routinely raves about.
- Vinoteca Marylebone – I love the original Vinoteca in Farringdon so am delighted the lovely people behind it have decided to open a second outpost much closer to my house. I just wish they took bookings in the evening.
- 101 Thai – I have had this on my wish list every year. Surely it should not be so hard for me to get to Hammersmith?
- Phoenix Palace – Mr Noodles has flagged this up as his favourite place in London for dim sum. Mr Noodles knows his dim sum so I am going to make my way there pronto.
- The Fat Duck – This has been on my wish list for three years now. Hopefully I will get my act together and actually make it there soon. Just realised I have two Heston Blumenthal restaurants on this list, not very creative of me is it?
- Brazil: For some beach time, caipirinhas and churrascarias.
- Puglia, Italy: I haven't made it down to the heel of Italy before and it is about time I did.
- Israel: For the history and the hommus.
- Andalucia, Spain: To go horse-riding, reacquaint myself with the sun and to eat tapas.

3 More Dumbing Down From Firaxis...Bertum | 15/10/2012 | See all Bertum 's reviews (2)I cant deny that XCOM: Enemey Unknown is fun to play. But like Firaxis last release of Civilization V, this game has been heavily "streamlined". This is a term I am begining to become very wary of, as all too often it is a double edged sword.With XCOM the game has been radically simplified in both the tactical and strategic gameplay. Whilst this speeds up game play and removes some of the frustratingly slow bits of the old game, I am left feeling like I have less control over events and the result is perhaps more exciting action, but a less overall satisfying experience.The fixed character classes, limited inventory (you can only carry one bit of extra kit), inability to swap equipment with characters in the field, unlimited ammo all seems to remove an element of the game I actually liked - ie micromanaging things! Great moments when characters ran out of ammo, and someone throws them cartridge; or characters pick up their dead or incapacitated comrades equipment are gone...The base management is stripped back now your no longer managing several bases, tessellating rooms into a limited floor plan, or designing bases against outside attack - you're limited to placing rooms next to each other for bonuses. Equipment is made instantaneously, but research still has lead times which is weird. The "ant farm" representation looks great but adds nothing to gameplay.Dispite people claiming this game proves PC gamers have not been forgotten, I actually think it shows the opposite. XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a fun fast moving game, but the gameplay feels like a made for console casual tactical action game, fun and fast moving, but lacking the depth of control which I for one like in my strategy games. This may appeal to a wider audience but is not what I was hoping from the new XCOM game
1 Nice game shame about the SteamForensicman | 27/03/2013 | See all Forensicman's reviews (1)Relies on Steam. Steam offline mode doesn't work. Therefore not recommended.
5 Review from a casual gamerGondorf | 18/10/2012 | See all Gondorf's reviews (4)I never played the original game on which this is based so Im afraid I can t draw any comparisons between the two but I can say that this is definitely a great game.The turn based approach is a nice change from the usual frantic pace of many modern games allowing the time to think and plan a bit more and the occasional -zoom in- to a cut scene of your soldiers sprinting into cover creates a nice illusion of more involvement in the battlefield.There are plenty of options for strategic choices in terms of the modules to build for your base, the perks for each soldier, research products, weapon enhancements and so on and since you are nearly always strapped for cash you simply cant do all of them. This means that you will not just end up with a group of near-invulnerable uber-soldiers that cant lose. Basically dont get too attached to them as some will unfortunately pay the ultimate price.For me games really come down to one final question:- is it fun? The answer has to be an absolute yes! After a few hours play I am usually thinking along these lines - Just one more scan for aliens then I will stop, Just one more research project then I will stop, I will just wait until this soldier has recovered then I will stop. This goes on for another hour (or two) before I finally realise the time and eventually stop.I do, however, agree with the previous review about the -casual tactical action game-, it is not a full on micro-managing affair. But, for me, this is exactly what I want as I dont necessarily have the time to invest in massive scale strategy games anymore like I used to ( a few years ago I would spend days playing the likes of Shogun, Medieval Total War, Europa Universalis, the Anno series etc)One final point, as an added cool (well I think its cool) feature, if you play on an Alienware Laptop with AlienFX (as I do) then the game overrides your AlienFX settings and changes the keyboard colours between red and blue depending on whose turn it is, genius!
5 Great game in its own rightFrankelforever | 27/08/2013 | See all Frankelforever's reviews (3)I played the original X-Com TFTD back in the 90's and have long since missed it. Bought the UFO triilogy a few years back but got bored of them before I even started the 3rd one. When I heard about this game decided to give it a shot especially for the budget price I got it for. Glad I did now as I've played through it once on normal and am now replaying it on impossible. They have taken away some of the micro management of the original but given that I no longer have endless hours a day to dedicate to video games this worked out as a good thing for me. Most missions take between 10-20 minutes so you can get through a few in a relatively short space of time. Your soldiers need to level up pretty quickly in order to stay alive as the game progresses quite quickly once you get underway. Base management is straightforward enough, just remember to link the same type of buildings together for extra points. Launching Satelittes early in the game is key to getting more money from the X-com nations. The missions themselves do get a little bit repetitive over time but I'm not bored yet on my second run through, impossible mode along with extending the length of the game make it a much longer game to complete. I enjoy turn based shooters so this is right up my street, the only negative I have about the missions is the aiming of rocket launchers and grenades is a bit awkward.Overall I would recommend the game as although it doesn't fully capture the atmosphere of the original games it is still quite a great game in its own right.
5 One of the best games I played in years!!!Nomis13x | 27/06/2013 | See all Nomis13x's reviews (1)I really cannot start to imagine how anyone could write a bad review on this game. Its intelligent and calculated but will nonetheless have you eat your heart out during battle mode.I recommend this game to anyone seeking a mind challenging game but still loves the sound of heavy weaponry! :)

If McQueary was so appalled by what he saw in the showers that day then why didn't he report it to the police after it was apparent that Paterno was going to do nothing? And, if McQueary was so disgusted by Sandusky, why was he his partner at a golf tournament less than a year later?
quote:i kinda wish he was alive to face the courts
quote:joe pa knew what was going on and decided to cover it up, hell even promoted the fricking ginger to get him to shut up
quote:what do you want to charge him with?
quote:Neither. My hatred is reserved for the man responsible, Sandusky. I think hating Paterno just became the popular or cool thing to do so everybody jumped onto the bandwagon. From the beginning, I have highly doubted the sincerity of those hating on Paterno. Unlike most sheep, I think for myself.
quote:and you have evidence of this?

Mostarda Mediterranea - 220g
Formaggio Kitchen Exclusive
Country of Origin: Italy
Region: Tuscany
City / Village: Panzano
As featured in the May 1, 2006 New Yorker article "Carnal Knowledge - How I became a Tuscan butcher" by Bill Buford. This mostarda is a true gem. We were fortunate to meet Dario Cecchini, the famous butcher of Panzano who is a true traditionalist in all ways. Also a wizard with flavors, Dario sends us these jewel-like jars of red pepper jelly. With flavors both sweet and spicy, with a lingering pepper finish. As he makes tiny quantities of this rare mostarda, it took us numerous visits and the ultimate bonding of our common philosophies on food before he agreed to sell to us.

You know who you are. You play MMO's or even ARPG's like Diablo, solo. In the case of Diablo, and games like it, you don't even have to connect online but do for some reason. Why? Well if you're like me, you probably don't understand why you do it either. We like to think of it as a major achievement versus team play or at least that's what we tell ourselves. Where it gets convoluted, in my opinion, is that we take it to the game's official forum and demand equality. Somehow, we think we should be able to do solo what other gamers team up to do. This, in a game designed to be team or multi-player oriented.
Deep down we have to admit we connect to these services looking for validation among our gaming peers, even the social connection of it all. Why then, do we seek to change the game to cater to our play-style or demand changes to said game to "balance" the game in said direction? Take EVE Online, for example. I have been playing seriously since 2007, i had a few trial accounts previously. I've played solo for pretty much the entire time, despite the game being designed for team play. Sure, I've networked with other like-minded players. Big CAS salute here and here. o7
This motley crew of players get's it. You can play the game without being in a major corp or alliance but networking with other players is much more rewarding. I realized that all too late in my EVE Online career. I was making the transition to correct this mistake before real life economic hardships took place. I was beginning to move myself and my virtual possessions into Menai (Genesis low-sec) and to RF-GGF, a null-sec area of the game world. While I was alone in Menai, there was a significant group presence in RF-GGF.
That is the reason I was moving assets there, to finally learn the game from a group perspective. To belong to a group and experience more of what the game has to offer. Something you just can't get going it alone, I wanted to belong. Shedding my comfort zone, I took the plunge and it was as exciting as it was nerve racking. However the fates intervened and I had to make some drastic life changing decisions. Economic hardships intervened and we had to drop our ISP. I could've gone on playing wirelessly through a nearby connection but it was too slow and prone to disconnecting. No, I had to put on my big-boy pants and make due coupled with the fact that I have the worst luck when it comes to maintaining a PC.
Once again my PC experienced a malfunction of equipment, the PSU this time. Being unemployed and all, I can't really justify buying this equipment when that money would be better spent on bills or groceries. So as luck would have it, I'm back to my dinosaur XP PC that won't run the client in it's present incarnation since it was patched out quite a while back. What's a gamer to do? Well I've currently gotten my Steam account straightened out and am trying to reconnect with old contacts there. Like my previous employer, I realized what I missed most about this game. I miss the other people I used to interact with on a daily basis.
People, not just the breathtaking and beautiful virtual universe that is EVE Online. No, I miss the very real people that shared that virtual reality with me. Ironic now, how that fact has hit home with me as I'm isolated at home. Seeking employment, my daily routine of filling out applications, I hope to improve my family's situation and soon. When/if I ever get back to my virtual realms, I will do so from a much better understanding and seek to experience them in a more social way. The way they were intended to be experienced and shared.

Jeremiah 13:23 (KJV): Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil. If God believe in Race, who can deny it?For sure not those Arabs and blacks sticking out their race belonging as if it were some special merit.
This is Hell multiculturalism led to all white non-Muslims s in golden free America. And mass media has a sinister plot against us. They can't calm down about the Zimmerman/Martin case, but do not see anything extraordinary in atrocious shooting of the family of five including 19-month-old girl and accusing them of racism. Most scaring is that it happened just at hand in Odenton, Maryland. It makes me feeling of total exposure.
Some higher ups found out that multiculturalism is good for their economy and created an army of wicked hungry Muslims ready to work for a song and hating all non-Muslims. And this army is strengthened every day by more and more wild and zealot newcomers. First those migrant workers forced Americans from odd-jobs. Now they accuse us of being racists because we were taught not to see colour, only human beings and do not understand Islamic racist feelings. Soon they will announce that this is their land and force us out somewhere to Mexico because we 'racially' abuse sensitive Muslims with our views and colour of skin.
Apparently someone has gone too far. Our high and mighty want to see an army of Muslim slaves instead of free citizens. But our ancestors occupied this place centuries ago. And we are not going to surrender that easy.

About NC State
At NC State, ideas become solutions. We unite bold thought with purposeful action and use the results to solve society's grand challenges.
NC State: Think and Do
As a land-grant institution, NC State itself was born as an idea: that higher education should bring economic, societal and intellectual prosperity to the masses. From our origins teaching the agricultural and mechanical arts, we've grown to become a pre-eminent research enterprise that advances knowledge in science, technology, engineering, math, design, the humanities and social sciences, textiles and veterinary medicine.
Our students, faculty and staff take problems in hand and work with industry, government and nonprofit partners to solve them. Our 34,000-plus high-performing students apply what they learn in the real world, through research, internships, co-ops and world-changing service. That experiential education ensures they leave here with career-ready skills. And those skills come at a reasonable cost: NC State consistently rates as one of the best values in higher education.
Beautiful Solutions, Powerful Partnerships
Our 8,000 faculty and staff are world leaders in their fields, bridging the divides between academic disciplines and making discoveries with practical applications. As a major research university, NC State advances knowledge, and our innovations solve some of the world's most pressing problems.
We put the results of faculty and student research to work in the real world. NC State research has launched more than 100 startup companies, and those companies have created more than 7,100 jobs and raised $1.5 billion in venture capital.
NC State is a leader in forging powerful partnerships with government, industry, nonprofits and academia to solve global problems. We're leading public-private efforts to curb nuclear proliferation, help farmers confront climate change, make a smarter electric grid, create self-powered health monitors and build a new American manufacturing sector.
The hub for that partnership activity is Centennial Campus, the innovative research park where more than 70 partners work side by side with our world-leading faculty and world-class students. Centennial Campus is also home to the immersive Hunt Library, dubbed "the library of the future" by Time magazine.
In Raleigh and Around the World
It all happens in one of the fastest-rising cities in America. Rated the best city for business and careers by Forbes magazine, Raleigh is a top spot for young professionals and families, with a downtown that offers vibrant food and music scenes. The area's foremost companies — including IBM, Cisco Systems, SAS Institute and Lenovo — are some of the country's top employers. They also lead the way in hiring new NC State graduates.
More than 125 years after its creation, NC State continues to make its founding idea a reality. Every day, our career-ready graduates, internationally renowned faculty and problem-solving research take the fruits of higher education into the state, nation and world.

Talking Turkey
With Thanksgiving just days away, designers are gearing up to spend time with family and friends, and enjoy their favorite dishes, too. Jerome Rousseau's plans include some California dreaming. "I look forward to spending Thanksgiving with photographer Mary Rozzi at her gorgeous Malibu home. It will be an intimate affair with close friends and family," he said. His contribution to the gathering? "I have a sweet tooth, so I will be baking apple pie and making homemade ice cream." But Coye Nokes is taking a different approach. "We are not a family of cooks," the designer told Spy. "We have a system where everyone has to pick a dish. We all have to share in the pain and pleasure so it's not all on one person." So what will she whip up? "Cranberry sauce. It is the easiest possible thing to do because it's just sugar, water and cranberries." For Loeffler Randall designer Jessie Randall, it's also a time to reflect on early holiday memories. "When I was little, we would have a big multigenerational soccer game on the lawn," she recalled. "It would be us kids, and my grandparents and their friends with their cocktails. It was very Wes Anderson." Meanwhile, Vince Camuto will be taking his family to the Hamptons. "It's nice and cozy with a big fireplace," he said. As for Camuto's favorite dish, he's sticking with tradition: "I like a nice home-cooked turkey, just like we all do, right?"
British Invasion
Kurt Geiger is popping up in the Big Apple next week in advance of a major stateside push for 2013. The British firm, a division of The Jones Group Inc., will use its soon-to-be-opened retail space on Bleecker Street to show off its trendy brands to select buyers and press. "We wanted to bring a little taste of London to New York for the holidays," said Kurt Geiger CEO Neil Clifford. "We aren't selling anything, but we wanted to give everyone a feel for what's to come." The store officially opens in January, and Kurt Geiger plans to begin wholesaling its labels — already well-known across the pond — in the U.S. market for fall '13.
Luck Be a Lady
Megan Hilty, star of NBC's musical series "Smash," will celebrate Thanksgiving in a slightly different manner — by partying in the nation's capital. The songbird is forgoing turkey to perform some of Frank Sinatra's greatest hits with the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C. Among the standards on her list is "The Lady Is a Tramp," "Moon River" and "I've Got You Under My Skin." Hilty, who also sang last week at the unveiling of Lord & Taylor's Christmas windows, said she is looking forward to a twist on tradition. "My mom and dad are going to come out for the weekend and it'll be great. Christmas is a big day for us, too. I'll spend the weekend before with family and the day with my boyfriend and dogs in New York," said the songstress, clad in black suede pumps by House of Harlow 1960. Of her shoe selection, she added, "I just discovered this brand. They're really great."
Parisian Party
Roger Vivier and stylish French women seem to go hand in hand. At a recent party held at the Parisian brand's Madison Avenue boutique, model and muse Inès de la Fressange and socialite Charlotte Sarkozy spilled their secrets for being effortlessly chic. "Usually, when I wear jeans and feel too simple, I wear heels," said de la Fressange while in flat, black-and-gold Viviers. "But most of the time, I'm a nicer person in flats." For Sarkozy, the secret was simple. "Being French," she quipped, adding that great style is all about balance. "Don't over do it. It's a simple dress, beautiful jewelry and not too much makeup." But de la Fressange had some love for New Yorkers, too. "The women on Madison Avenue are so chic," she gushed. "I admire their Katharine Hepburn attitude. There's nothing more elegant."
Bottoms Up
It's beer-run time for Mark McNairy. The designer has a new collaboration under his belt with Los Angeles boutique Union L.A. The two designed an exclusive saddle shoe for Heineken. "We tried to replicate the Heineken bottle in terms of a shoe, without it being cartoonish," McNairy told Spy. The shoes won't be sold at retail and will be seeded to 100 select tastemakers — pun intended — as a part of the beer brand's Heineken 100 program. So who will be the lucky ones to get a pair? "I don't even know if I'm getting the [style] for myself," Union L.A. owner Chris Gibbs joked, adding that the exclusive list is top secret. "Mos Def is a big fan of the shoes, so I'm campaigning for him to get a pair."
Glamour Girls
Lena Dunham sure knows how to get attention. The outspoken "Girls" creator and star kicked off her gold Brian Atwood pumps on stage last week at the annual Glamour "Women of the Year" awards. "It was just never going to be OK that way," she said mid-acceptance speech. Meanwhile, fellow winner Selena Gomez — amid her breakup with Justin Bieber — was swarmed by paparazzi, but she managed to take it all in stride while wearing Rupert Sanderson blush patent pumps. And word on the street is Gomez will get even more attention soon, with a major brand partnership set to be announced this week.

Wednesday 6 February 2013
IT managers are becoming increasingly concerned about rising mobile data costs, a new survey has revealed.
In iPass and MobileIron's 2013 Mobile Enterprise Report, it was revealed that IT departments are worried about rising mobility costs resulting from the trend for Bring Your Own Device (BYOD).
The majority of survey respondents (57 per cent) were of the opinion that their mobile data roaming costs would rise in 2013. What's more, eight per cent believe they will increase by more than 25 per cent.
Onboarding and then supporting an increasing number of personal devices were by far the two top sources of frustration for IT departments, with these concerns ranking ahead of even security worries.
What's more, it appears that IT is increasingly losing control of mobility budgets as departments take more responsibility for their own budgets. Indeed, 40 per cent of companies' mobility budgets are now managed by non-IT departments.
Barbara Nelson, chief technology officer at iPass, commented: "IT is charged with implementing solutions to boost employee productivity, and BYOD does that.
"But as more personal mobile devices with multiple platforms and operating systems are used for work, IT managers are challenged to safeguard corporate data and keep roaming costs low.
"And when mobility budgets are managed by departments rather than IT, data roaming costs can be hard to control."

r; a i i ��� F t � The college News VOL. XLI, NO. 24 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1945 Copyright. Truilr.i of Br,n M�Wf ColUf, 1945 PRICE 10 CENTS Childs Will Talk On Food Crisis Caused by War Marquis W. Childs will speak on "Hungry Europe" at the eighth War Alliance assembly of the year on May 3 at 12:30 in Goodhart. This is the second lecture in a s�r- ies of three which have been plan- ned by a faculty-student group for the purpose of acquainting the col- lege with the issues before the San Francisco Conferenceiv Mr. Childs, who has just return- ed from Europe, will report on the food situation as he has seen it. Noted for his clear-cut, trenchant analyses of political and economic subjects, Marquis Childs is the au- thor of several best-sellers. These include "Sweden�the Middle Way," and "This is Democracy." "This Is Your War", published in 1942, is his most -recent book. At present Marquis Childs is the Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Varied Program Of B.M. Concert Wins High Praise by Aj>ril Oursler '46 Goodhart, April 28. When the same chorus that cannot prevent laughter from breaking out in the ranks through sheer enjoyment of the "Orchestra Song" can so easily make the transition to pieces re- quiring a good deal of interpreta- tive singing and technical ability, its concert cannot help but succeed in its aim of presenting Bryn Mawr music to Bryn Mawr in the best light possible. In fact, it seemed that it was be- cause of this spirit of whole-heart- ed enjoyment as spreading from the singers to the audience with such contagion, rather than in spite of it, that the music itself was per- formed with such a high technical standard. The singers had risen above the stage of harping on de- tail, and under the expert and spirited direction of Mrs. de Var- ron, they threw themselves into the music until they seemed them- selves to be a part of it. Jfhe program was divided into various sections according to the groups represented, including the woodwind quartets, and a pianist, as well as the three choral groups; the Glee Club, the Choir, and the Madrigal Group. The highlight of the progra*4- was the group of selections from "Porgy and Bess", in which the chorus epitomized their whole eve- ning's work. Ann Matlack '47, brought not only a full and rich voice but a completely poised stage presence to her solo, "It Ain't Nec- essarily So". Seeming to bring the audienoe into her" confidence as she sang, she established a perfect rap- port with them as well as with the accompanying chorus. Sarah Beckwith '46, soloist of the "Summertime" selection, sang with a sweetness and clarity that blended well with the background choral arrangement, and the Glee Club swung into the closing chor- uses.with a vigor that showed un- derstanding of both the mood and technicalities of the music. The Madrigal Gr6up, singing two Continued on page 6 Colonel J. Brown Addresses Aides At B. M. Capping Goodhart, May 1. Sixty - one Nurses' Aides were capped in a ceremony this evening, having completed 45 houra of supervised work in five hospitals of the Phil- adelphia area: Bryn Mawr, Jeffer- son, Temple University, Philadel- phia General and Presbyterian. The main speaker in the cere- mony was Ool. James B. Brown, of the Valley Forge General Hospital. �He opened his speech with a warn- ing to all Nurses' Aides who might take offense at being called sister by an Englishman, as it has quite a respectable meaning. On the other hariG, Col. Brown, one of the most eminent plastic surgeons of. the world, indicated that "there is no romance or fool- ing when taking care of wounded service men. Many Nurses' Aides, according to Col. Brown, have offered to do- nate skin to some of the terribly wounded cases. Col Brown praised the work of the Nurses' Aides, in that aside from practical duties, they have often been able to help a boy by personal interest and un- derstanding. Miss Logan, representative of the Red Cross, spoke briefly on the tradition of citizenship at Bryn Mawr. Mrs. Frederick Potts, vice- chairman of the Volunteer Nurses' Aides Corps then pointed out the value of the work as part of a well-rounded education and sup- ported the plan permitting stud- ents to receive academic time credit for Nurses' Aide work. Ruben Previews 'As You Like If by Rhetta Taylor '47 Amidst A-l pandemonium con- sisting of speeches gurgled from behind ice cream cones and a boogie-woogie rendition for back- ground, Mrs. Seyril Ruben, director of As You Like It was cornered in Goodhart by a News reporter for a brief interview. Asked if the Shakespearean could be a success, Mrs. Rubin replied enthusiastical- ly, that the play was "exciting, amusing, fast moving and surpris- ing." She went on to say that the cast had done a remarkable job in getting it together in two weeks and that the girls were "a joy to work with except when they giggle hysterically." Mrs. Ruben, listing the marvels that As You Like It will present, pictured a horse galloping over the newly turfed Robin Hood Dell, two wild sheep, unless tame ones can be procured before Friday an<f two live bear cubs. Asked where the cubs came from Mrs. Ruben declin- ed to say, adding that their source would remain a mystery. To >e certain that all comers will find their way to the elusive dell, "pennants" will be put up from the Bryn Mawr station to the campus and there will be appro- priately dressed pages to act as guides. Mrs. Ruben, in recalling the amusing incidents which inevitably crop up at all rehearsals, told of impressing upon Orlando (Jean Switendick '48) that he must "re- act" upon seeing his beloved Rosa- lind (Kate Rand '45). To which Orlando emphatically replied, "I did, Mrs. Ruben. I took a step for- ward." Hinchman Memorial and Brooke Hall Prizes Presented to E. Hoisington in Double Award Juniors Promise Southern Garden As Prom Setting The atmosphere of a southern patio will prevail at the annual Junior Prom, which will be held in the gym on Saturday night, May 5. The decorations promise to be very effective. A blue net studded with mirrors is to be extended from balcony to balcony along the top of the room, to produce the im- pression of sky. Wistaria blossoms hanging from the balcony and small tables lining the wall will further enhance the effect of a Charleston Garden. But the decorators are proudest of their ingenious idea for a pool, which they confidently hope to construct at one end of the gym. The possibility of moving the dance down to the true pool was at first considered, but soon rejected due to the problem of engineering the dancing couples around lockers and diving board. Because of the twelve curfew, the dance will begin at 8:30 and last only until 11:45. This early, wholesome hour will prevent loss of Bryn Mawr beauty sleep and the traditional "day after" stu- por. The Debonairs will provide the music. Refreshments, which in- clude sandwiches, cookies, and punch, will be served in the fenc- ing room. Programs and tickets are being sold by the Hall Representatives. Admission will be $2.50 per couple, but seniors will be admitted free. Chaperons for the Prom are Miss McBride, Mrs. Grant, Mr. and Mrs. Broughton, Mr. Berliner, Mr. and Mrs. Nahm, Miss Gardiner, and Mr. and Mrs. Wells. Gloria Wald- man and Ruth Leyendecker aue the co-chairmen, and their committee consists of Sandy Lieberman, floor; Elaine Hoisington, food; Barbara Johnstone, decorations; and Renee Small, posters. "^ELAINE HOISINGTON Hoisington Earns Hinchman Award For Achievement Commencement Elaine Hoisington '46, is distin- guished not only for having won the Hinchman Memorial Scholar- o'clock j ship but for paving won it even be- fore she has fully decided on her major. Moreover she was also awarded two other scholarships for next year�the Maria L. Eastman Brooke Hall Memorial and the Sheelah Kilroy Memorial. In spite of these achievements she avows that she does have a completely intellectual nature by any means. In the coming pro- duction as "As You Like It" she is playing the part of William, "a very stupid character" and the sort of role she- claims to feel right at home in. Her major will be either English or French, but having lived in Wyndham for the past year, Elaine is persuaded" that the French way of life agrees with her. She claims its best features are the unaca- demic atmosphere" and of course its proximity to the Inn. , Prepared at the High School of Montclair, New Jersey, where she lives, she has held several other scholarships in her three years at Bryn Mawr. In 1942-43 she was the Alice Day Jackson Scholar; in 1943-44 she was the Sheelah Kil- roy Memorial Scholar and the Maria Hipper Sopohomore Schol- ar; and in 1944-45 she was the Misses Kirk Scholar. '45-46 Scholarship Lists Read by McBride v/ Ip Assembly \ The Senior Class has voted that Commencement will be held on June 6 and 7, as previously planned, but that, in accordance with the O.D.T.'s ruling, only faculty, students, and local peo- ple will be invited. The O.D.T. prohibits the hold- ing of any convention to which more than fifty people would come by train. All commence- ments come under this ruling. The Seniors have decided that, instead of having'no commence- ment or one just for faculty and students, the regular com- mencement will take place but only guests from local areas, who had previously planned to come by car, will be invited. Announcement about changes in arrangements have been sent out. Mr. Owen Lattimore will still speak as scheduled. Goodhart, May 1. Annual schol- arship awards to be used in the year 1945-46 were announced by Miss McBride in the traditional May Day assembly. Both the Charles S. Hinchman Memorial Scholarship, given to the student whose record shows the greatest ability inQier major subject, and the Maria L. Eastman Brooks Hall Memorial Scholarship, awarded to the member of the Junior Class with the highest average, were won by Margaret Elaine Hoisington. Among the other awards made solely for distinction in academic work was the Sheelah Kilroy Scholarship in English, awarded for excellence of work in second year or advanced English course, also went to Elaine Hoisington, who is an English major. Elaine was prepared by the High School of Montclair, New Jersey, and won the Sheelah Kilroy Memor- ial Prize in English in her Fresh- man year. This year's Sheelah Kilroy Memorial Prize in English, given for the best paper written in the Freshman English course, was presented to Sylvia Stallings who also holds the James E. Rhoads -Sophomore Scholarship. Patricia Hochschild, Anne Stor- row and Joan Woodside were giv- en honorable mention for their papers. Edith Fries won the Elizabeth S. Shippen Scholarship in Lang- uage, awarded for excellence of work in a foreign language. Edith also holds the Minnie Mur- dock Kendrick Memorial Scholar- ship, and was prepared by the Philadelphia High School for Girls. The Elizabeth S. Shippen Scholarship in Science, awarded for excellence of work in a science, was won by Elise Rhoda Kraft, prepared by the Dalton School, New York City. Scholarships to be Held in Senior Year -� "�*.

Maybe we are out of our -depth, but it seems to us that a few laughs were definitely in the order of the day. Morris dancing, Bryn Mawrly known as maypole dancing, offered Sue a good chance for a little com- prehensive psychological research. "Good poles are hard to get these days, I agree with Mr. Stettinius and Mr. Molotoff on this," she re- ported soberly. "Poles with ribands on them are practically extinct," she added, glancing at one of the few remnants of the species, Lidge Gifford, complete with the rare ri- bands radiating halo-like from her head. Technically speaking, the ribands are traditionally indispensable. "I'm sorry to keep harping on this riband business, but you're just no- body in Morris Dancing circles un- less you have a lot - of ribands hanging off you. These serve to float in the breezes and to trip you up," she explained. "We don't do nearly enough Morris dancing in this country, these fine summer days!"

quote:A California Chick-fil-A did something shocking for same-sex marriage supporters this week: Supported them. Corey Braun, the franchisee of the Chick-fil-A in the Victoria Gateway Center in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., provided dozens of free meal coupons to a group of same-sex marriage advocates demonstrating Monday at an intersection near the restaurant, PinkNews notes. The move came months after Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy revealed his anti-gay stance in a July interview, saying he is "guilty as charged" when it comes to his franchise's "support of the traditional family." "There were a lot of things said over the past year," Braun told the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin. "I wanted to show that Chick-fil-A doesn't discriminate against anybody. We serve everyone. We're happy to serve the community and this was an opportunity to have this group come in and show them our hospitality regardless of their beliefs, sexual orientation, or whatever. Chick-fil-A has never been about hate" Back on Aug. 1, hundreds flocked to the Rancho Cucamonga restaurant on "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" in defense of Cathy and his anti-gay marriage comments. But on Monday, things were different, and same-sex couples and same-sex marriage backers were surprised at Braun's act. "[W]hen people are open and apologetic and accepting, it's touching to us," Eden Anderson, a board member with LGBT rights group Equality Inland Empire, told the Daily Bulletin. "It feels like acceptance and we just want to be accepted and engaged in society, so when it's confirmed, I think the overall reaction was, yes, certainly that Chick-fil-A in Rancho Cucamonga is welcoming to us."
