The College News / VOL. XXIV, No. 19 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1938 Copyright TRUSTEES OF BRYN MAWR COLLEGE, 1938 PRICE 10 CENTS Hubener Lectures On Heroic Exorcism In Beowulf Legend Traditional Germanic Heroes Are Thought to be Actual Historic Figures <3RENDEL REPRESENTED AS MALIGNANT "GHOST Music Room, March 21.�The le- gends of Siegfjied, Beowulf, and Her- acles are actual histories of famous primitive exorcists, stated Dr. Gustav Hubener, in his second lecture at Bryn Mawr.- Only this explanation, he believes, will account for both the similarities and the discrepancies of their sagas. Previous research has tried to prove that all three were variations of some common Indo-Germanic folk-tale about a hero of supernatural power who pur- sued a monster to a cave and killed it there. However, Dr. Hubener pointed out, the whole tone of the sagas is not mythological, but historical. More- over, there is no resemblance in the heroes and the proper names, such as occurs in the different versions of the Hynd Home legend. Instead, each hero is a distinct personality in a defi- nite epoch and a different country. "The heroic battles against the demon, therefore, seem to point back to real life�to an�^wsting European custom of exorcism." Furthermore, without these sagas, the Indo-Germanic culture is the only one that lacks a literature of exorcism. Among all primitive people, it stands for the recovery of self-control over fear and hallucination by means of spiritual authority. In Bengal, the devil inhabiting the sufferer is beaten until he declares himself ready to leave. In Africa and India, he is propitiated with sacrifices. China, however, provides the closest parallel to the sagas. A Chinese priest lay- ing a ghost first names the demon, then threatens him, and finally attacks him with a ceremonial carved peach- wood sword, bound in red and adorned with magic inscriptions. This is rec- ognized to have no real significance as a weapon. Its power is purely mag- ical and psychological. This custom may explain the weapons that Beowulf takes against Grendel's mother, although he himself realizes that devils are unreal "living corpses" and "do not heed weapons." In fact, during his first struggle with, the evil spirit he is wholly unarmed. "Waiting in the dark hall," said Dr. Hubener, '"his expectation and panic led to hallucinations; he saw Grendel enter. Then his pride made him revolt in frenzy, | fear was overcome, and the demon withdrew." The detail of the severed arm, Dr. Hubener traced back to the ancient superstition that if the arm is cut from a corpse, its ghost will be deprived of further power. He believes that the original Beowulf, failing to conquer "Grendel" entirely, went to his grave and mutilated him. Jtajhis .second fight swithv Grendel's mother, Beowulf, since the danger is greater, takes the magic sword of the Court Thyle, whose office was to ex- pel demons. It was his own failure against Grendel, said Dr. Hubener, which explains his otherwise inexplica- Contlnued on Pag* Six LEAGUE MUSICALE WILL HAVE VARIED PROGRAM Graduate Fellows to Work In Greece and England Cum Laude Averages, Junior Year Awards Announced Goodhart Auditorium, March 18.� Miss Park announced in chapel the award of the two graduate European fellowships, and the list of sunder- graduates who have an average of 8ft or above. Delight Tolles, fellow in the Greek department this year, will receive the Mary E. Garrett European Fellow- ship. Miss Tolles graduated from Vassar in 1935, took her M.A. at Bryn Mawr in 1936, and has been Scholar in Greek (1936-'37) and Fel- low in Greek (1937-'38). She will use the fellowship to pursue her stu- dies in the field of the Greek house- hold ^cult, and for that purpose will attend the American School of Classi- cal Studies in Athens next year. She plans also to. travel in the Mediter-- ranean to ' gather important archeo- logical material. The Fanny Bullock Workman Fel- lowship is awarded this year to Mary Margaret Taylor. She studied at Mount Holyoke before coming to Bryn Mawr, receiving her A.B. there in 1935 and her M.A. in 1936. She plans to carry on research in the Public Record Office in London to complete her Ph.D. thesis, which is a study of the justices of the peace in Cambrige- shire in the fourteenth century. Miss Park said that she will report later the decisions of the Board of Di- rectors in regard to the plans for the new library wing and for the re- modeling of Dalton to house the de- partments of Biology, Physics and Mathematics. These plans are matur- ing rapidly, so that "in the coming year I think we shall not need to travel to be dazed by what we see around us!" The new dormitory has been named after the first president of the college, James E. Rhoads, and will henceforth be known as Rhoads North and South. Miss Park announced the names of students who have been recommended by their departments for the junior year abroad: For the junior year in France�Jane Anne Jones, Janet Rus- sell, Jean Flender Small, Barbara Anderson Steel; for the junior year in Germany�Ruth Marie Lilienthal, Ruth Mary Penfield, Barbara Ander- ConUnued "on Pace Six Phenomenologist is Against Self-Assertion Hubener's Lecture on Husserl And Schelcr Deals With Ethics, State On Friday, April 8, the Bryn Mawr League is giving a musicale for its own benefit It will begin at 8.30, and the price of admission will prob- ably be 25 cents, although Jane Gam- ble, who is managing the entertain- ment, has been too busy to worry about business details.

Patricia Robinson, Gordon Grosvenor, and Harriet Hutch- ison are the pianists. In addition there will be one violin solo by Doro- thy Auerbach, and -tydia Lyman will sing. Common R.oom, March 18.�"The school of Phenomenology," said Pro- fessor Hubener, in a lecture sponsored by the Philosophy department, "gre"w up in opposition to the growing spirit of individual and collective self-as- sertion," of which the strongest ex- emplification is to be found in the philosophy of Nietzsche. M-f. Hiibe- ner spoke mainly on the work of Scheler in Ethics, but felt it necessary to show the background of his work in the general principles of Pheno- menology. The early Phenomenologists recog- nized the danger of a merely biologi- cal theory of state and attempted to establish a substitution of high spirit- ual values. The work of Edmund Husserl contains the belief in the ontological meaning of absolute truth based on the understanding of logic and mathematics as absolute and not presupposing thought. Husserl "re- discovered the existence of ideas, of an invisible, absolute world of mean- ing," in, which *��� w'd-i^f -jjki&t* participates. The outside world is realized as other than ourselves, sim- ply given as existing, and it belongs to the essence of perception that we see it as such. The laws of essence are realized by intuition as in the structure of things; they are not derived from a study of fact. Philosophy has only the task of making people receptive to the mean- Continued on Pas* Fir* COLLEGE CALENDAR Wednesday, March 23�Ger- man Movie. Goodhart, 8.30.

Lecturer Discusses Philosophy of India Mr. Spiegelberg Denies Terms Usually Applied by Writers To Orientals LAUDS YOGA IDEOLOGY The Deanery, March 20.�Frieder- ich Spiegelberg spoke in the Deanery on What India Has to Offer Us Today. Defining first what he meant in his statement of the subject, he analyzed spurious versions of Indian teachings m the western world, and at the same time pointed out what we could learn to advantage from "India's highest thinkers." The use of "offer" in the statement, of his subject Mr. Spiegelberg found misleading because what literally is offered is perhaps of least value. He cited as "a little too much offered" The Heritage of India, a well-known document of Indian thought today, and branded this compilation of the work of 100 scholars as an attempt to prove the supremacy of Indian thought. Several widespread misinterpreta- tions of Indian teachings are based on ideas actually possible only in a west- ern civilization. "Resignation," used as a blanket word to typify an Indian attitude, is an example of this kind of mistake. Rejected in Christian thought and western philosophies, nevertheless, he claimed, resignation could exist only in the West. A re- signed person is one who accepts his disappointments and no longer strives to overcome them. This acceptance of evil is purely western. People in In- dia, said Mr. Spiegelberg, do not flee the world but overcome it. Misfor- tune is unreal and to be vanquished by non-recognition. Study of the "elaborate doctrine" of Yoga meditation leads to the re- vision of our "too-much secular no- tion of reality." We are forced to recognize a mythical consciousness manifest in dreams and neurotic phe- nomena. These "deep chaotic realms" are never ignored in India. One of the greatest obstacles to presenting Indian thought to the Occi- dent is a language discrepancy. In Sanskrit, for instance, the words are so highly specialized that our modern languages cannot reproduce them. The Scholastics, with their elaborate systems of the soul's progress, have the most adequate variety of wbrds, and for that reason one great San- skrit scholar does all his translating into medieval Latin. Another distorting element in the representation of Indian ideas is the western mania for emphasizing the exotic, expressed in Heine's fantasies and in the numerous modern studies on Yoga. The authors of these books are concerned with things not typical of "highest Indian thought" Buddha always rejected miracles. In a bud- dhistic community the first crime which makes a member liable to ex- pulsion is the crime of claiming super- natural powers and faculties. A constructive interest in Yoga as a means of achieving higher physical and spiritual powers is evinced by the analytical psychologists, notably Jung. They realize that western people have much to learn from the Yogi's fac- ulty of diving deep into his soul. "Yoga is trying to raise the deep- est of our animal being up and up and up . . . until at the top of the forehead this power is going out like Continued on *�**� Two Intercollegiate Peace Institute Delegates Discuss World Problems at Swarthmore Dr. Blanshard Favors Collective Security as Best Method To Prevent War; Factors Molding Our Foreign Policy Discussed by Mr. Stone ' AIMS OF INSTITUTE OUTLINED BY MORLEY NECESSITY FOR SANE ' ANALYSIS EMPHASIZED The aim of the Intercollegiate Peace Institute at Swarthmore, Louise Morley, '40, explained in an inter- view, was to coordinate and discuss student ideas on world affairs. The two speeches by William T. Stone and Harry F. Ward were both excellent. Moreover, the five commission ses- sions prepared by students from the five colleges taking part necessitated much jjluminating research on the part oi the representatives*^ The council presented a true cross- section of undergraduate opinion, shading from deep red to conservative white. To Bryn Mawr the contact with these ideas which seldom pene- trate the campus was especially in- structive. Mr. Herbert A. Miller, the; resource leader of the Bryn Mawr! commission group, gave constructive j aid in guiding and preparing dis-i cussion. The institute was planned by a committee of students from Swarth-I more, Temple, Cheney State College, \ West Chester Teachers' College and: Bryn Mawr. Five members of this! committee had been working previ-l ously to draw up plans for a regional United Peace Committee similar to the National United Peace Committee. This regional committee will be elected from the Youth organizations of the district which are interested in peace. After the plan was approved and adopted by the institute, Louise Mor- ley was elected chairman. The work of the new committee will coordinate the peace activities of schools and col- leges in this area. At the first meet- ing, the new chairman expects to draw up plans for unifying the April 27 demonstration so that any action taken on that day will be part of a concerted move. The first English Peace Day was held on this date last year and it is hoped that it may be- come an international demonstration in the future. Maids, Porters Produce Dunsany's ' Mr. Faithful' Huldah Cheek Directs Capably; Between-Act Specialties Wittily Sung Goodhart Hall, March 17.�The maids and porters, under the auspices j of tlie Bryn Mawr League, entertained j the college with a lively production of Lord Dunsany's Mr. Faithful. Al- though the particularly British wit- ticism of the lines did not wholly coincide with the sense of humor of the cast, the places whe/e these die- come together were excellent, while either was able to stand alone. Slow- ness on their cues was the chief flaw in the actors' otherwise smooth and spirited performance. Between the scenes Louise Simms, of Wyndham, and Carl Smith sang. The story concerns a Captain John- son who, in order to wed a profiteer's daughter, must hold some kind of job for six months. His service as watch- dog, under the name "Mr. Faithful," results in many ridiculous situations and provides excuse for much social commentary of the early 20s. Thej moral, if it may be called such, isj that although a man makes an efficient i watchdog, the conventional animal | causes less-publicity. �Denbigh's John Whittaker took full advantage of the comedy in his part as the watchdog. His canine enthusi- asm reached a peak when he bounded in front of his master shouting, "Sir | Walter's going for a walk�hooray, | hooray, hooray!" Hilda Green, also; of Denbigh, was assured and charm- f ing as the profiteer's daughter, and! Continued on P��� Four Swarthmore, March 19.�Students from 31 schools and colleges took part in the Intercollegiate Peace Institute entitled 'Through Education to Peace. Delegates worked on five commissions treating various aspects of the peace situation in the world today, and were addressed by Dr. Brand Blanshard, Professor of Philosophy at Swarth- more, and William T. Stone, of the Foreign Policy Association. Despite wrangling over parliamen- tary procedure, and clashes between the opposing forces of collective secur- ity and isolation, the conference finally reached a somewhat unified* ^pinion. Eleven resolutions were passgjkTouise Morley, '40, was elected�i!r5airman of the B|anning Committee for the newly organized United Student Peace Com- mittee in this area. The delegates were welcomed by Dean Harold E. B. Speight, of Swarth- more, who emphasized the fact that students should contribute to public opinion in this country. But to carry weight, student discussions should be marked by the keenest intelligence, and should be both sane and objective. Following Dean Speight, Mr. Blan- shard addressed the conference on the Alternative Roads to t{eace. There are three such roads, he pointed out, pacifism, neutrality, and collective se- curity. Each has its arguments and objections. Pacifism believes that force should not be resorted to under any circum- stances to settle disputes. Defenders of this doctrine maintain that it is a requirement of the Christian position, especially of the Society of Friends; that it is required by the intellectual * and moral nature of man; and that it is effective. However, there are answers to these pacifist arguments. The Christian position does not absolutely require this view, for while Jesus loved man- kind, He also hated iniquity. Dr. Blan- shard maintained that there comes a point beyond which tolerance cannot be extended. Among the Friends may be found prominent men who advocated the most extreme force to right injustice. "The use of reason is all right if one is dealing with rational, moral be- ings." "But, when is a creature really rational and moral?" asked Professor Blanshard. "Proofs that pacifism does not work may also be found in his- tory. Force too often does not work, and truth crushed to earth does not rise again." Neutrality, the second road to peace, demands that we deliberately keep out of war by obliterating all possible points of contact with warring na- tions. It rejects both pacifism and militarism.' It believes that munitions . and necessities of war should not be sent to either side; that citizens should not be allowed to volunteer for either side; that enemy ships should not be permitted in our ports; and that our own ships should not be per- Contlnued on Pa�� Six MAJORITY IN PLEBISCITE SAYS "PRESERVE HOOPS" The College News plebiscite on the hoops resulted in a decision of 184 to 113 to "preserve" the tradition. The. ajternative was to "destroy" it, not necessarily implying destruction of the hoops. Pembroke East and the French and German houses were most evenly divided in opinion; the former was 22 to 21, against, the latter, six to seven, in favor of preservation. Pem- broke Wast was 40 to 26, Denbigh 44 to 17, Merion 27 to 17, and Rockefeller 46 to 25, all for preservation. At least 25 voters were for compromise of some sort. The issue will hot be considered closed until opinion has been further clarified.

Resource Workforce Center opens in Henrico
Community leaders and elected officials from across the region gathered in eastern Henrico Sept. 24 to celebrate the opening of a new resource center for job-seekers that is the first of its kind in Central Virginia. The Resource Workforce Center, located just off Nine Mile Road at 121 Cedar Fork Road, is the first such center inthe area to serve both adults and older youth. Members of the federally funded Resource Workforce Investment Board, which works to increase private sector employment opportunities, joined in cutting the ribbon to mark the official opening and followed up with tours and information sessions led by center staff and community partners such as the Community College Workforce Alliance, Job Corps, Virginia Employment Commission, and Senior Connections. "It's such a beautiful day," exulted James Holland of the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors, chairman of the resource consortium of local elected officials, as he prepared to cut the ribbon at the entrance to the center. "We're having class outside!" In addition to serving as a one-stop job-shopping resource for the unemployed, disadvantaged adults and older youth, said Holland, the center will also assist the underemployed. "You may have a job," he noted. "But do you have a career?" The center will help entrepreneurs as well, through a program known as resource business solutions that asks the leadership from various companies, "What do you need to expand?" Among the companies that have expressed interest in such assistance are a growing food supply company and a railroad company losing workers to retirement. But "first and foremost," said Holland, "[the center] will offer those who come a friendly face." Deborah Wickham, chairman of the Resource Workforce Investment Board, noted that a great deal of research has gone into locating centers where they can best serve the more than one million citizens in the area's member jurisdictions, which include the counties of Charles City, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent, Powhatan as well as the City of Richmond. One of three area workforce centers (the others are in Chesterfield County and South Richmond, with a fourth opening soon near downtown Richmond), the 20,000 square-foot center replaces one less than half its size on Williamsburg Road. "Eastern Richmond and Henrico contain some of the highest concentrations of poverty in our region," Holland pointed out, "and so we are opening this center where it is most needed." Representatives of various organizations began their tours in the reception area, which features kiosks for easy registration and space for one or more police officers on site. Among features of the dedicated space for youth are computer labs and stations for resume writing, as well as facilities housing the Resource Youth Network's out-of-school program, the GOALS Institute. The converted building, formerly a Verizon call center, also boasts a large conference room, a resource room that can be used to access the internet for job searches, and access to printers and faxes for submitting job applications and resumes. Center staff offer job seeker services such as resume reviews, skills assessment, career counseling, mock interviews, and for individuals who qualify, intensive training that may include free tuition to local educational institutions. "It's all about connecting people with partnerships and working together," said Holland. "It will come to fruition." Frank Thornton of the Henrico County Board of Supervisors, whose Fairfield District includes the new center, described similar visions for the site as he prepared for the ribbon-cutting. "This will be a venue of collegiality," Thornton said. "Of service to our people." "You've heard of no wine before its time?" he asked. "Our time has arrived." Snipping the ribbon, Holland added emphasis with a flourish and triumphantly held the scissors aloft. "It's open!" announced Holland. "Go forth and prosper!"

Travinia brings contemporary elegance to Willow Lawn
It was another win for Willow Lawn when Travinia Italian Kitchen and Wine Bar opened there six months ago, nestled in the heart of the re-made shopping center. The contemporary American Italian restaurant boasts 13 locations up and down the East Coast, with the Henrico location opening in August.
In the same week, I hit up Travinia twice, once for lunch and once for a late dinner. At lunchtime on a weekday, I was overwhelmed by the smell of garlic and by the number of working professionals in nice suits on their lunch breaks. When we first walked in, I was concerned our meal would be a little too pricey based on the décor – it's a really nice place. Luckily, the menu has a variety of options for every budget. > Read more.

'SpongeBob' movie energizes with wit, laughter
There's a ton of sugar in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. Literal sugar, as SpongeBob Squarepants (Tom Kenny) and Patrick (Bill Fagerbakke) inhale their own weight in cotton candy and eat ice cream, one scoop per mouthful.
At one point we burrow into the brain of our boxy yellow hero and discover the inner workings of his brain: googly-eyed cakes and candies that giggle and sing. All of which is extremely appropriate for a film like Sponge Out of Water. Because not only is the movie sweet (the "awwww" kind of sweet), but it's the equivalent of a 30-candy bar sugar rush, zipping between ideas like a sponge on rocket skates.
The story under all this is really not that complicated. SpongeBob flips burgers at the Krusty Krab. > Read more.

Jennies pull away from Tiger women
By CONOR NICHOLL
WARRENSBURG, Mo. -- A massive rebounding disparity, one of the worst in Tony Hobson's six seasons. No 3-pointers in the first 27 minutes. A drop from the Tigers' usual effort and intensity. Problems with help side defense. Just 22 points outside of junior center Kate Lehman and senior Katelyn Edwards.
The Fort Hays State University women's basketball team had multiple problems, allowed a 21-4 run that spanned both halves and lost 71-52 at the University of Central Missouri on Thursday in the MIAA opener. It marked FHSU's worst defeat since a 29-point loss at Washburn University on Dec. 8, 2010.
"I could have done a lot of stuff differently, and our whole team could have," Lehman, who led the Tigers with 16 points and 11 rebounds, said.
Fort Hays lost the rebounding battle, 52-34, and had just nine second chance points, 19 fewer than Central Missouri. The Jennies, ranked No. 8 in NCAA Division II, moved to 7-1, 1-0 MIAA. Fort Hays dropped to 5-1, 0-1 MIAA. Fort Hays completes the two-city, three-day swing with a road game at Missouri Western State University on Saturday. Start time is 1:30 p.m.
"We didn't have edge that we usually play with, for whatever reason," Hobson said. "You can't explain that really."
Last year, Fort Hays opened the conference season with a 34-1 run en route to a 45-point home victory against Central Missouri in Hays. A winter later, coach Dave Slifer, 176-98 in 10 years at UCM, calls the 2013-14 team his most talented squad. Senior forward Keuna Flax, a returning honorable mention All-American, collected 18 points and 12 rebounds, both game-bests, and helped the Jennies win their 18th straight home contest.
"She is as good of a player as I have seen in Division II in awhile," Slifer said.
The Jennies were ranked fifth nationally, but lost 96-67 at Harding (Ark.) University on Nov. 29.
In film study, Slifer watched an FHSU team he called "unstoppable" average 96 points per contest and score often in transition. Fort Hays had won each contest by at least 28 points, but had just one road game. Central Missouri was 3-1 in road/neutral contests. UCM contained FHSU in transition and didn't allow second-chance points. Slifer said it was "by far" the best his team had played in those two areas.
"We were a little concerned, but we knew we had played a lot of good teams so far," Slifer said. "Even though it wasn't any fun to go to Harding and get beat -- and we got whipped there - I think we learned a lesson. I wanted to learn that lesson out of conference this year instead of in conference like we learned it last year."
By the 13:21 mark of the first half, three Central Missouri starters had two fouls.
Fort Hays trailed 21-20 with 6 minutes, 5 seconds left in the first half, but the Jennies opened the deficit to 42-24 with 16:06 remaining.
"I don't know if we got tired or just lost our edge," Lehman said. "I don't really know what happened, but we definitely had a drop. Being on the road, being in the hotel all day, it's not an excuse, but it's definitely a factor."
Down low, FHSU was supposed to double team on Flax when the pass came; she led the MIAA with 19.7 points last season and averages 20 this year. Instead, the Tigers were continually late. Central Missouri converted second-chance opportunities when the Tigers had help side defense troubles, and had multiple open looks off backside rebounds. FHSU had its worst rebounding margin since a minus-19 performance in a 65-53 loss at Truman State (Mo.) University on Feb. 10, 2011.
"It was hard to rebound, too, because if they would miss, our backside, there's no one there," Lehman said.
The squads combined for 4 of 24 from 3-point range for the game and 0 of 10 in the first half. FHSU's first trey came from sophomore Paige Lunsford at the 12:39 mark.
"I just didn't like our effort," Hobson said. "I didn't think it was just very good. We had a couple kids that I just didn't get much out of, and we have to have it from them. Hopefully that will change on Saturday."
Edwards finished with 13 points on 5 of 13 shooting, while Lehman was 5 of 12 from the field. In the first half, Hobson felt both players missed a couple of short shots.
The rest of the team went 6 of 32 from the field, including 2 of 12 from senior Tera Ingalsbe, usually an efficient shooter. Sophomore guards Taylor Chandler, Beth Bohuslavsky and Taylor Chandler went 3 of 14.
"We usually shoot the ball pretty decently," Hobson said. "It wasn't just one person that was off. It wasn't just two. It seemed like there was five or six of them. ... It was just one of those things that happens sometimes, and you hope that it happens against some other team."
Some of the problems came from the massive Multipurpose Building that can sit 8,500 fans and looks like a warehouse. Unlike many gyms, there's no wall or seating behind the bleachers. Just three players, Lehman, Edwards and junior Keriann Shaw, had ever played at UCM. FHSU had multiple bad misses, including several shots that didn't hit the rim and/or air balled.
"It's a different background than usual," Lehman said. "I know that Chelsea missed a few that she would usually nail, and it has to do with it not being a back to the gym."

Expectations are low in Red Sox Nation. Last season Boston stumbled to a 69-win season, the team's lowest win total since in a non-strike-shortened season since going 62-100 in 1965. Actually, "stumbled" doesn't even begin to describe the utter nightmare that 2012 was. Flubbed? Blundered? Imploded? All of those more accurately convey the complete failure of a season the Red Sox had. In the wake of a third straight year without Fenway opening for game number 82 of the season on a crisp October evening, the Red Sox made some serious club-wide changes. Bobby Valentine is gone, John Farrell is in. The team's medical staff is undergoing a complete face-lift after years of injury mismanagement, most notable of which surrounds the always ailing, yet immensely talented, Jacoby Ellsbury. David Ortiz is back after signing the two-year contract he's been waiting years for, and the team has decided to forego any free agent whose contract demands extend past 2015. After all the team has done — a...

The Colle � ---.��.� ews VOL. XVI, NO. 4 BRYN MAWR (AND WAYNE^PA., WEDNESDAY, OCT. 30,1929 PRICE. 10 CENTS A nnouncement The College News takes pleas- ure in announcing the addition to the editorial hoard of Celeste Page, '30. Miss Helen Pascoe � will � be the Graduate Editor on .this year's board. We feel that the addition of a member of the Graduate School to the editorial board of The News is a distinct and welcome step towards the con- summation of the new relation* be- tween the two student bodies of Bryn Mawr. Varsity Loses But Shows Improvement in Game Although the hockey game with Merion Cricket Club on Saturday, Oc- tober 26. resulted in a 2-4 defeat for Varsity, the Bryn Mawr team showed a remarkable gain over their playing of the previous week. There were a number of radical changes in the line- up, and the forwad line in particular gained in speed and strength. Blan- chard played in her last year's position at left wing, and recovered the dodging and hard shooting which have always made her a strong point of the Bryn Mawr attack. Longslreth shifted to center to take Bouchard's place, and although Sally1 is more effective in her own placets inner, the change resulted in a gain for Varsity. Longacre, a freshman, was' thus brought into the game, and she proved to be the fastest and pluckiest of the forwards. Her en- thusiasm and speed dominated the game, and held the entire line to a higher level than they reached at all last week. Unfortunately her passes and dodges were poorly directed, so that what she won by good dribbling and persistent tackling back, she lost by ineffective shots. With practice in teamwork and passing, Longacre should rise above mere good fighting and become an aid in scoring for Var- sity. The backs were as reliable a.s usual, the play of the first half being faster and more on the attack than last week. Remington, as center half, played a beautiful alert game; McCully was on hand and steady, and Kate Hirsch- berg's game was, if possible, better than last week. She attacked farther up the field and *was infallible in in- tercepting dodges and passes. Her combination of speed, excellent drib- bling, and well-distributed shooting, cannot be emulated as "yet by any of the forwards. 4 The play was evenly distributed from goal to goal, backs and forward line . -having-equal chances-at the Mil; Vai- sity's remarkable gain in speed.and tUzJ thusiasm went hand in hand with a gain in wind and endurance. Not until the second half, and the halves are 35 minutes long this year, did Bryn Mawr show signs of faltering. Late in the game passing became undirected and the gap between forwards and backs had to be filled by Hirschberg alone, as in the Main Line game. ' Merion's Continued on Pace Fonr � Actress Presents Dances For Scholarship Fund pJ-"� . � Angna Enters, "actress, dancer, an supreme mime in one" will present her "Episodes" and compositions in dance form at Goodhart Hall, on Friday eve- ning, November IS. The entertainment is to be'gi'en under the auspices of the Alumnae Association of Eastern Penn- . sylvania and Delaware, and it is to be given for the benefit of the Regional Scholarship Fund. Miss Enters' dances have been given the most enthusiastic acclaim by such people as Olin Downes, Paul Rosenfeld, Stark Young and Louis Untermeyer; her "compositions" are set to a background of Debussy, Beethoven, and Sousa, to give an idea of their variety; the cos- tumes are designed and carried out oy Miss Enters herself. The whole gives the impression of a complete and unified art; this will be an entertainment that one should not miss. President Cites Freshmen Records Statistics Reveal Character Distinguished Class, of 1933. of iass 1-5 FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS "There are 120 freshmen this year, the smallest class except one (that, four years ago), since I have been at" Bryn Mawr. It fits in with a sopho- more class of 118, a junior class of 77, and a senior class of 91 to make up a corpus Bryn Mawr census of 406. First concerning their geography. "If a circle with a radius of 100 miles were drawn with Bryn Mawr as its centre, the homes of only 49 would fall inside, for the most part Philadel- phia^, New Yorkers and Baltimoreans, of course. This is, I believe, a smaller number of nearby students than usual and besides tho.se in the middle dis- tances there are definitely far travelers: Twenty-two from the Middle West- Five from the South. Five from Colorado. Oregon, Cali- fornia. . "There are, as usual at Bryn Mawr, an urban, class. If we set. .thpse �coming.

This figure is always high at Bryn Mawr�I be- lieve much higher than in similar groups in the men's colleges. "Further, of the 120 fathers, 73 are of what we_, oddly . call "American" stock, i. e., the original emigrants came from Great Britain�English'' proper, Scotch or Welsh. The second fraction of fathers, and, in number, far below, is of German origin, and 35 arc de- scended in part or wholly from emi- grants of European countries other than Great Britain and Germany. Of these 120 gentlemen, 72 married wives of British stock, 10 vi German and 38 from other Kuropeah stock wholly or in part. "To sum up, about threeTfifths of the class are solidly transplanted English, Scotch,- or Welsh, and at least three- fifths are of the third American gener- 'ationV These two fractions Tiappen to _b,e_ab;lrp but44 .:*-�?( course �bv:cas>tkG'. the individuals who contribute to the two fractions may be different; that a strain of Dutch stock, for instance, may have been nine generations in the United States and another of English stock may have barely come to Amer- ica to live. "The variation in Bryn Mawr blood is slowly increasing, and it should con- tribute something to variety of point of view, and particularly perhaps to artis- tic expression in music, art and drama, in which we of the stolid majority for years have never been strong. Occupations of Fathers < xN. "The fathers of the freshman class >r aM two-fifths of them professional men �half of these lawyers and half en- gineers, physicians or surgeons, clergy- men, professors; another two-fifths are in business of various kinds and wide range. The fifth one-fifth scatter more widely. I have always wondered why more Bryn Mawr graduates did not go into the law. This year, with the heavy registration of what-might be called, I suppose, fathers-in-law, I shall wonder more why there is_ no movement to- ward the legal profession. Some suc- cessor of mine will make'a similar table of the occupations of the mothers of the freshmen, and Bryn Mawr will be- gin next year to put in a space for that information on its card. Education of Parents "One-fourth, 26 pairs of parents, are Miss Ely Gives Her Impressions of League Miss Gertrude Ely, who has recently returned from a summer spent abroad, has been kind enough to-tell a-repre- sentative of The News some of her most outstanding impressions of the three'weeks which'she spent at the Tenth Assembly of the League of Na- tions. She was present in Geneva dur- ing all but the last few days of the meeting. To Miss Ely, the most encouraging and outstanding impression of her visit, was the fact that the League seems -to be so very well established. It has decidedly taken on the appearance of an institution which is in gqod working order, and there is no more of the feeling thatchings will be done, "if only the League can live." Miss Ely said that in none of her other visits"to Gen- eva, during the .past ten years, had she had this feeling so strongly. Even the sceptics of old seem to have been con- vinced; they see that the League has taken root, and trfey finally realize that there now exists in (the world a world organization which will give the time and attention of the best minds of the world, to the problems which most concern the world. Again, Miss Ely felt that we, in importance placed by. European peo- ple upon the Kellogg treaty (or, as it is more often called abroad. "The Pact of Paris"). The signing of the paper which we are so apt to look upon sojely in the light of a nice, politic gesture, has had an enormous influence upon the procedure of the League commit- tees. They feel that things can be speeded up, and that their work can be put through safely, with a great in- crease in rapidity of accomplishment. The "Pact" is, in fact, looked upon so seriously, that people are already dis- cussing which articles of the Covenant of the League will have to be changed so as to be in accord with the latest document of peace. This latter is thought to put a new responsibility upon mankind; it is hoped* that now the articles which recommend force in the repression of war may gradually be replaced by something more in keeping with the spirit of. a world or- ganization. Count Bern6dorff went so far as t6 tell Miss Ely that the Com- mittee on Disarmament, of which he is the chairman, had been ready to report itself as unable to proceed- be-] fore the'signing of the "Pact"; now, however, they are going on with their work, and are seriously discussing the feasibility of all possible plans. M.

The program was as follows: Processional Hynui: "Through, the Night of Doubt and Sorrow." Tune "St. Asaph." 'Organ'. "Bourrce in D" (from fourth Orchestral Suite), Bach.

Alexandre Gavrilov himself ap- peared aware of the general uncer- tainty and had none of the assurance which one expected of him. However, in many of the dances compensation for faults in technique was found in the pleasure obtained from the beau- tiful scenery, picturesque costumes, and artistic lighting. The first number,'"'Pancake Holi- day," was probably the least satis- factory as an example of dancjng skill, and only Vera Strelska seemed sure of herself and her proper posi- tion in relation to the other dancers, yet the scenery and the bright clothes of the peasants created a charming effect. The second dance. "Kids, a Cat and a Witch." >vas a delightful fantasy in which the extremely active witch and the surprising cat com- pletely captivated the audience. The second part of the program contained several short numbers, most of which were in no way original or novel. In this group "Bas-Relief," a series of poses arranged after the man- ner of the Greek pediment*, stood out as the most artistic and graceful of the offerings. The gray-blue lighting on the tight-clad figures was particu- larly effective.

Maria Tallchief, America's first great ballerina, died last week at the age of 88.
WWD spoke with Tallchief in November 2003 when she visited New York from her adopted home of Chicago for the opening of the New York City Ballet's yearlong celebration of the centennial of George Balanchine's birth. Tallchief was the legendary choreographer's first American muse and third wife.
The former ballerina, ultra-elegant at 78, met with WWD at the Excelsior Hotel. Charming and direct, she covered topics from "George's" dance hero (Fred Astaire) to her groundbreaking 1960 trip with the American Ballet Theatre to the Soviet Union to why she to loved watching Ellen DeGeneres on "Hollywood Squares."
NEW YORK — Christmas in New York — everybody loves it.
One of its most cherished institutions, New York City Ballet's "The Nutcracker," has enchanted generations of children, who have watched enthralled from the audience, or better still, pirouetted and sashayed about on stage as angels, mice and toy soldiers. Tonight, City Ballet holds its annual gala, opening a yearlong celebration of the centennial of George Balanchine's birth. On Dec. 6, another benefit, sponsored by Valentino, supports the Balanchine-founded School of American Ballet, from which hundreds of children have been selected to appear in "The Nutcracker" over the past 50 years.
That evening, 103 children will assume the roles of Marie, Fritz and the characters of her reverie, the little girls no doubt longing to one day dance the Sugar Plum Fairy. They will do so in the presence of the original Sugar Plum Fairy, Maria Tallchief, the woman for whom Balanchine created the role.
Tallchief, of course, was Balanchine's first American muse and this country's first great ballerina, around whom he shaped the aesthetic that would rock the world of dance. The two married in 1946 when she was 21 and he, 42, and divorced six years later. Though retired since 1966 when she moved to Chicago with her third husband, Henry D. "Buzz" Paschen, and their daughter, these days, Tallchief is "besieged on all sides" by those eager for her perspective on the centennial. Her current trip centers on a two-day engagement with the George Balanchine Foundation for an analysis of two ballets, "Le Baiser de la Fée" ("The Fairy's Kiss") and "Mozartiana," at the Guggenheim. And she will return early next month for the ballet school benefit.
"Anything for George," Tallchief says, settling into a chair at the Excelsior Hotel. At 78, she seems a bit short, given Balanchine's renowned preference for long, lanky dancers. But she retains an impeccable carriage and still flaunts the glorious bone structure of her Native-American heritage, along with a powerful, Celeste Holmes voice that, given different circumstances, might have taken her to Broadway. Instead, Tallchief's body did the talking on stage, assisting Balanchine in building a pipe dream into an institution.
Tallchief brims with anecdotes delivered with the utmost nonchalance. This is a woman who, early on, rejected a p.r. move to make her an instant Russian: "They wanted to call me Tolchieva or something like that"; talked Nureyev into a haircut, for "The Bell Telephone Hour:" "They were so conservative, they didn't like men to wear tights," and out-millinered Cecil Beaton, making her own Black Swan headpiece: "He wanted two swans on my head and George said, 'She's a ballerina. She can't have two birds on her head!'''
Almost always, those anecdotes go back to George, whom she met at the age of 18 when he visited her then company, the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, to choreograph "Song of Norway." "The minute I saw him….We started with the Grieg Piano Concerto, and I thought, 'I am seeing music. This is it!' I was a musician [pianist] myself, and I thought, 'I am in my place now.' I knew that that's the way I wanted to dance. I spent my whole life trying to do what he wanted me to do, to try to attain that sort of poetry and magical quality that he had."
Tallchief recalls the simplicity of Balanchine's instruction that, for all his insistence on technical mastery, focused as much on elusive emotion. "He didn't go into tiny, little, 'Left lateral, here or there.' He would just say something very simply, like, 'Look over the balustrade, into the lake.' And suddenly your face becomes very poetic. Or he'd say, 'Lift up your cheek as if you want your father to kiss it.'"
Ultimately, Balanchine decided to take his vision of dance to New York, where he and Lincoln Kirstein founded what was then known as Ballet Society. At first, reviews were less than welcoming, with Balanchine criticized for a lack of romance. "On the contrary, he was more poetic than anyone I've ever met," Tallchief says. "Because of him, we became poetic. They talked about his technique, how fast we could move. Well, yes, we had to move fast — that was what was important, how to get from one place to the other. Until he died, he was thinking of ways to make it easier for us to understand."
Tallchief proclaims "absolutely true" the story of Balanchine's early interest in the U.S. In England, the ballet dancer saw a movie starring a suave hoofer, Fred Astaire, and decided, "I want to go to America if that's the kind of dancing they have there." Years later, in 1978, both men were feted at the first Kennedy Center Honors. "George was so excited to see Fred Astaire," Tallchief recalls. "I said, 'Do you want me to introduce you to Mr. Astaire? Because I've met him.' And George said, 'Oh, no, no, no, no, no.' George was very shy." Tallchief herself was honored in 1996.
Yet those appearances were not her sole Washington experiences. Today, it's difficult to imagine an American president honoring a ballerina outside of the Kennedy Center festivities. In 1953, however, Dwight D. Eisenhower cited Tallchief as "Woman of the Year." A serious ballet fan, Eisenhower's press secretary, James C. Hagerty, would make frequent trips from D.C. to New York to watch Tallchief perform. At the time, the White House was trying to pre-glasnost glasnost, and a goodwill dance tour to the Soviet Union was suggested. Although the American Ballet Theatre would make the trip, the State Department wanted Tallchief, still with City Ballet, along. Balanchine consented and off she went.
As for anxiety, "I was a nervous wreck. Especially dancing the Black Swan — talk about taking coal to Newcastle!" But the Soviets loved Tallchief, starting with Nikita Khrushchev himself, who invited several performers to a late supper after a performance. "As each dancer was introduced, he would say, not in good English, 'Johnny Kriza, oh, yes, you're Czechoslovakian. Lupe Serrano, you're from South America.' And he went on and on. 'Erik Bruhn, you're from Denmark.' Then he got to me and his chief of staff was standing right next to him and said, 'This is Maria Tallchief and she is an American.'"

These Dead Children Had Names: In Memoriam…And the Living Under Drones Report
10:21 am in Uncategorized by wendydavis
The International Human Rights and Conflict Resolution Clinic of Stanford Law School and the Global Justice Clinic at New York University School of Law released a report in December entitled: Living Under Drones. The UK charity Reprieve apparently requested the study in order to better serve the Pakistani people; researchers spent nine months doing interviews with locals on the ground, and examining reams of documents. These are the lead sentence headings of their basic findings; recommendations are included, plus much, much more.
First, while civilian casualties are rarely acknowledged by the US government, there is significant evidence that US drone strikes have injured and killed civilians.
Second, US drone strike policies cause considerable and under-accounted-for harm to the daily lives of ordinary civilians, beyond death and physical injury.
Third, publicly available evidence that the strikes have made the US safer overall is ambiguous at best.
Fourth, current US targeted killings and drone strike practices undermine respect for the rule of law and international legal protections and may set dangerous precedents.
In light of these concerns, this report recommends that the US conduct a fundamental re-evaluation of current targeted killing practices, taking into account all available evidence, the concerns of various stakeholders, and the short and long-term costs and benefits.

Adrenoleukodystrophy describes several closely related inherited disorders that disrupt the breakdown (metabolism ) of certain fats (very long chain fatty acids).
X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy; Adrenomyeloneuropathy; Childhood cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy; ALD; Schilder-Addison Complex
Adrenoleukodystrophy is usually passed down from parent to child as an X-linked genetic trait . It therefore affects mostly males, although some women who are carriers can have milder forms of the disease. It affects approximately 1 in 20,000 people from all races.
The condition results in the buildup of very-long-chain fatty acids in the nervous system, adrenal gland, and testes, which disrupts normal activity. There are three major categories of disease:
Childhood cerebral type:
Adrenal gland failure (Addison type):
Adrenal dysfunction my be treated with steroids (such as cortisol) if the adrenal gland is not producing enough hormones.
A specific treatment for X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is not available, but bone marrow transplantation can be performed and can cure patients of the condition.
The childhood form of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is a progressive disease. It leads to a long-term coma (vegetative state) about 2 years after nervous system symptoms develop. The child can live in this condition for as long as 10 years until death occurs.
The other forms of this disease are milder.
Call your health care provider if:
Genetic counseling is recommended for prospective parents with a family history of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. Mothers of affected sons have an 85% chance of being a carrier for this condition.
Prenatal diagnosis of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is also available. It is done by evaluating cells from chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis for either a known genetic change in the family or for very long chain fatty acid levels.

Tubal ligation is surgery to close a woman's Fallopian tubes. It is sometimes called "tying the tubes.") The Fallopian tubes connect the ovaries to the uterus. A woman who has this surgery can no longer get pregnant. This means she is "sterile."
Tubal ligation is done in a hospital or outpatient clinic.
The procedure takes about 30 minutes.
Tubal ligation can also be done right after you have a baby through a small cut in the navel. It can also be done during a cesarean section.
Another method uses coils that are placed in the tubes at the point where they connect with the uterus (hysteroscopic tubal occlusion procedure). The procedure is done through the cervix. It does not involve cuts in the abdomen and sometimes can be done in a clinic setting without general anesthesia.
Sterilization surgery - female; Tubal sterilization; Tube tying; Tying the tubes; Hysteroscopic tubal occlusion procedure
Tubal ligation may be recommended for adult women who are sure they do not want to get pregnant in the future. The benefits of the method include a sure way to protect against pregnancy and the lowered risk of ovarian cancer.
Women who are in their 40s or who have a family history of ovarian cancer may want to have the whole tube removed in order to further decrease their risk of later developing ovarian cancer.
However, some women who choose tubal ligation regret the decision later. The younger the woman is, the more likely she will regret having her tubes tied as she gets older.
Tubal ligation is considered a permanent form of birth control. It is NOT recommended as a short-term method or one that can be reversed. However, major surgery can sometimes restore your ability to have a baby. This is called a reversal. More than half of women who have their tubal ligation reversed are able to become pregnant. An alternative to tubal reversal surgery is to have IVF (in vitro fertilization).
A hysteroscopic tubal occlusion procedure is very hard to reverse. In this case, the best option would be IVF.
Risks for tubal ligation are:
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
During the days before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
You will probably go home the same day you have the procedure . You will need a ride home and will need to have someone with you for the first night if you have general anesthesia.
You will have some tenderness and pain. Your doctor will give you a prescription for pain medicine or tell you what over-the-counter pain medicine you can take.
After laparoscopy , many women will have shoulder pain for a few days. This is caused by the gas used in the abdomen to help the surgeon see better during the procedure. You can relieve the gas by lying down.
You can return to most normal activities within a few days, but should avoid heavy lifting for 3 weeks.
If you have the hysteroscopic tubal occlusion procedure, you will need to keep using a birth control method until you have a test called hysterosalpingogram 3 months after the procedure to make sure the tubes are blocked.
Most women will have no problems. Tubal ligation is an effective form of birth control. If the procedure is done with laparoscopy or after delivering a baby, you will NOT need to have any further tests to make sure you cannot get pregnant.
Your periods should return to a normal pattern. If you used hormonal birth control or the Mirena IUD before, then your periods will return to your normal pattern after you stop using these methods.
Women who have a tubal ligation have a decreased risk of developing ovarian cancer.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My father has recently been diagnosed with PC, which includes an alarming PSA result of 168 ng/ml. Gleason score of 3+3 = 6. He was also given the "all clear" with respects to tests performed on his chest, abdomen, lungs and bones. Any further information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Alan J. Wein, MD, Professor and Chair of the Division of Urology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
Ordinarily a PSA this high means that the tumor is outside of the prostatic capsule. The fact that the staging studies are negative is good news, but the most accurate study for local spread is a prostate MRI with a coil in the rectum. Rarely, one can see this level PSA with only "central gland" tumor, meaning tumor in the central part of the prostate (its usually in the peripheral part), without spread, but that is unusual at this level PSA. A level this high precludes radioactive seeds. Unless your dad is very young with a long life expectancy, one would probably choose external beam radiation over radical prostatectomy. However, one should consider a laparoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection, even though the nodes look normal on a pelvic CT scan. If the nodes were positive under the microscope, this would significantly impact the length of time hormonal therapy is recommended.
Aug 13, 2012 - The magnitude of change in serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) after 5α-reductase inhibitor therapy may help diagnose prostate cancer in men with persistently increased serum PSA and previously negative biopsies, according to a study published in the September issue of The Journal of Urology.

Monika O'Clair/Citizen photo Rochester Fire Captain Don McCullough signs a copy of his memoir "Danny Boy" at his book signing event at Kelley's Row in Dover.
DOVER- The luck o' the Irish was shining on one local firefighter on Nov. 10 as he took time to sign copies of his memoir, Danny Boy, a story of his younger years living in northern Texas.Greeting patrons as they walked in, Kristin McCullough, wife of author Don, was proud of her husband of five years as he enjoyed the greetings of readers and friends in the cozy setting of the Irish pub."Kelley's Row seemed to be a good fit for it," she said."It's all new to us. It's new and it's exciting," she said. "It's been great."His memoir, based on his life during the late 60s in Texas, is the first book McCullough has written, but it won't be the last.Ginna Schonwald, of Barrington, stood in line in the upstairs dining room of Kelley's Row to have her friend of about 20 years sign her copy of the book.She read through an early manuscript of the memoir and said she likes it very much."It's a very enjoyable read," she said.Frank Avelliino, of Dover, used to work with McCullough in the Dover Fire Department and said he was excited to read about what his friend was like in his formative years.Sitting at the bar reading through the book, Leigh Alexander, of Dover, said it was a great look into McCullough's childhood."He did a good job capturing some memories from when he was a kid," he said. "It's making me think back and remember some memories from my own childhood."McCullough said he had a few different working titles as the memoir started out, but it was his wife who came up with the final name of "Danny Boy" since he has a large Irish family."It's been a great ride. It feels good today," he told someone as he signed a message in the cover of their book.McCullough said writing the book, which he did while recovering from a motorcycle accident in 2010, was "the experience of a lifetime."The coming-of-age memoir is a story he said has always been inside him and though he never actually intended for it to be published, it was something he had always promised himself he would write.In the time he was on leave from work recovering from the accident he wrote 63,000 words, showed the script to his wife and she encouraged him to get the manuscript published.It was a two year journey of constant rewrites, he said. "I'm not a trained writer. I'm a story teller."Being in the fire services where a tradition of oral history telling exists, McCullough said he is surrounded by story tellers in his work.McCullough has also written a children's fiction book that deals with the subject of grief, he said, and is currently working on writing his next memoir.He said he also wants to write more about a part of his life when he said he was "pretty lost.""It's about being found and being happy," he said.Though not a trained writer, he said being in the heart of the creative space, for him, is sacred."That sacred space of creativity for me is just a great place to be in for a little while," he said.
