Madrgal sngng and carols by the language clubs wll carry out the Internatonal Chrstmas theme, whle 650 newly-dressed dolls wll be on dspay. The carllon wll be played durng the bazaar. Punch, cookes, a»d a fortune teller are also promsed.

Because of the atomc bomb, "yesterday was a thousand years ago." Not only s modern man "obsolete", but so are exstng forms for world cooperaton. The only hope for lastng peace, accordng to Dr. Nash, les n the abolton of tradtonal bonds of natonalsm, and the creaton of a World Federaton. Strongly advocatng the swft removal of UNO as an nstrument for nternatonal reconstructon, Dr. Nash condemned t as "the only human body that grew from nfancy to senlty n less than a second." Our need s for a system of world government so powerful that t dffers from UNO not only n degree, but n knd. Crtczng academc and relgous leaders who justfy UNO as "better than nothng", Dr. Nash sad, "Anythng less than adequate s equvalent to nothng." Root of War Although soveregnty s admttedly the root of war, the frst act of the San F-ancsco Conference was desgned to leave soveregnty "untouched and unmpared". "Every step after that," sad Dr. Nash, "was a step away from peace." The unanmty rule, gvng any one naton supreme veto power, not only prevents UNO from preservng peace but from controllng the "natons most lkely to make war." The vrtual mpossblty of amendng the charter alone makes t undesrable, and accordng to Dr. Nash, for (Contnued on Page 6, Column 1) the newly organzed Arab Offce at a lecture Monday, December 10 at 7:30 p. m. n Pendleton Hall.

Mss Rsley Reports Belgan YWCA Actve Durng War Head of House Vsts Belgum It s an extraordnary sensaton, accordng to Mss Florence Rsley, Head of House at Cazenove, to see one's own clothng contrbuton to European relef beng unpacked n Belgum. Mss Rsley speaks from experence; for whle the rest of us wonder sometmes "what fnally dd happen to that sweater." Mss Rsley was on hand last summer to see one of her own wool dresses emerge from a packng crate on the other sde of the Atlantc. Sent to Belgum by the Amercan YWCA, Mss Rsley's msson durng the summer was to dscover the effect of ths war on the YWCA organzaton whch she had been nstrumental n establshng there at the end of the frst World War. "What I actually saw, however," she says. "was the lves of my own frends," for Mss Rsley had lved n Belgum from the end of World War I untl "On the whole," Mss Rsley reports, "I found the organzaton extraordnarly alve. Although materally t has been hard ht. the membershp s mor- loyal and determned than ever before." A professor of Economcs a Unversty of Brussels termed the YW's work most mportant at present "because t s not attached to any poltcal party, language or church t s a meetng place for all knds of people." Underground Meetngs "One of the proofs of ts vtalty," Mss Rsley asserted, "s that when the Germans closed the assocaton, the members n practcally all the ctes went rght on wth clandestne meetngs n the guse of musc classes or lterary groups." Ths sprt Mss Rsley feels "mmensely gratfyng," especally because t remaned alve not only through the exctement of the frst secret meetngs, but throughout the entre two years of ther closng. Durng the whole perod not one member of the groups gave them away. Although the YWCA dd no actual resstance work as a group, many of ts ndvdual members, Mss Rsley found, had been actve n the movement, manufacturng false dentty cards and passng along nformaton for the underground. All resstance, she ponts out, was done chan-fashon, for protecton. You mght, for nstance, receve a message to tell your hardresser somethng; the message would probably mean nothng to you, and the hardresser would be the only member of the chan wth whom you would come n contact. Wellesley Actors' Guld, Harvard Dramatc Club, To Fll Male Roles After startng the season wth a modern comedy, Barnswallows now turns to a relgous play smple and dramatcally ntense.

In a college dormtory ts merts are of a more dubous nature. However, t s dff- to confne nose to ts proper habtat, so t s often found n long corrdors and rooms wth doors left wde open, even durng class hours and after ten o'clock at nght. Beleve t or not, there are some people who lke to study durng the day tme and there are others who fnd t possble to get to bed at ten o'clock or Boon after. Why not gve them a chance n -tudy and to sleep? The problem of nose n the dormtores sn't a new one. Each year around the tme when most of the quzzes are beng gven and papers are due, the complants roll nto the faculty and Dean's offce about the lack of quet. However, the responsblty for keepng condtons conducve to study n the dormtory s actually n the hands of the ndvdual student, not the faculty or Deans. Last year "Quet Hours" were dropped from College regulatons because was fell hat dents could mantan suffcent quet n the halls of resdence by usng common 51 nsc hours of study and sleep. It seems reasonable to expect college students to use ther judg- 1 ts on such matters. All that s really Deeded to solve the nose blem s a bt of consd 1 on fo I othe person.

Because we have suffered less materal damage ban obcr natons, we are able to gve more than they. Ths fact gves us a great responsblty. It does not gve us the rght to st m judgment on our fellow men. Our Presdent has now asked Congress to approprate an addtonal 1,350,000,000. Ths request has brought forth crtcsm of UNRRA's "neffcency," coupled wth the demand that Amerca gve through a purely natonal organzaton. Internatonal economc cooperaton faled after the frst World War because of 111 -neb natonalstc atttudes. It s our duty to see that such an attempt does not fal agan. UNRRA'- drectors admt the organzaton's mstakes. The fact remans that only UNRRA has the resources to do what must be done. The drector of UNRRA has told us bluntly that unless a second appropraton s authorzed by the end of the year, two months wll lapse before help to Europe can be contnued. The old adage that democracy always works -lowly s no excuse for delay now. We can not ease our conscences later by lookng back and notng the btter rony n savng thousands through UNRRA only to have them de for lack of contnung ad. We must act now SHADES OF RIP VAN WINKLE "He was a wse man who nvented sleep." At ths pont n the semester, most people start referrng to sleep as the thng of whch nobody seems to get enough, at least not at nght. We get trapped by the sandman whle studyng n the Brooks Room or half way through class. We begn countng the number of seconds we can stay n bed after the thrd bell has rung, and stll make breakfast. And there are those whose program of mornng sleepng converts breakfast nto a browne at the El Table before a nne-forty. All of whch s pretty slly, any way you look at t. We don't pretend to have become authortes on much of anythng after three years and three months at Wellesley. But ths much we do know n fact we thnk t ought to be tnknd of common knowledge tha doesn't need a footnote namely, that sleep s here to stay. In fact we fnd t so useful that we fnd we can't get along wthout t, try as we may. Wnn we f came to Wellesley we used to be mpressed wth the harred young lady who shouted to the world n general that "She lasn 1-11 been to bed for a week and my dear, she Bmply know when Bhe wll get there." Now we smply consder her a bore. No doubt the genuses among our acquantance can go to sleep wth unsolved problems of hgher mathematcs -tll lurkng n ther respectve mnds. But we, poor average souls, jomehow fnd that the amoeba we drew at nne o'clock more nearly resembles a resp able amoeba Iban the one I 1 d off at two a.m. "Sleep t s a blessed thng, beloved from pole to pole." But f you really want to know bow nc I lsten bo someon who hasn't had any recently (She'll go nto rapture suffcent to sell a Wellesley b1 pallet to the Beauty Rest Corporaton.) Or v. n try t yourself. Beyond the Campus The naton-wde battle that rages over the queston of the wages of automoble workers takes on the qualtes of uncontrolled, economc warfare. Two economc forces of the foremost magntude n the naton thrash at each other n a headon, knock-down, drag-out fght, whle the Government and the people look on n helpless consternaton. In a war of an economc nature such as ths, where the w capons are strength n money and n m embers, and conse que n 1 1 y, where Mght wll Vrgna Guld '1*6 Presdent of Forum be permtted to make the so-called Rght whch wll drect the rest of the negotatons between labor and management all over the country durng the reconverson perod, these two powerful organzatons can and wll cause for each other and for bystanders, nnocent and not so nnocent, losses of mllons of dollars, both n captal nvestments and n the health and well-beng of the unon members whose money should not have to be turned back to them n strke wages. The pathetc waste of human resources that ensues from a catastrophe of ths lk s augmented bv the fact that t s not justce whch decdes to whom shall go the vctory. It s the theory that our socal legslaton of late has condemned as out-moded the survval of the fttest. Polce Force Needed If the polce have the uncontested reht to step n and arrest two gentlemen who are knockng each other's eyes out and drag them nto court where they may argue ther cases and be forced to come to a peaceable agreement.whv s there not the need for some knd of compulson to submt the matter to the test of justce even more mporant n ths case? In a brawl between two prvate ctzens, one of whom seems to have a clam on somethng from the other, the forces of justce n the communty do not usually allow the strongest to take all he phases because he pleases and s strong enough to eet t, nor do they_ allow hm to refuse to gve what s due The Edtors do not hold themselves responsble for statements n ths column. All contrbutons for ths column must be sgned wth the full name of the author. Intals or numerals wll be used f the wrter so desres. Contrbutons should be n the hands of the Edtors by noon Saturday. Owng to space lmtatons, letters should be lmted to two hundred words. because he s strong enough to wthstand the demands of the other. Some consderaton s gven to the justfablty of the clams of the one and to the ablty of the other to meet the demands. When so many prvate ctzens are nvolved n the tug-of-war between two of the most potent economc and poltcal forces n the country, some among us fal to see why the analogy s not accurate. Some measures must be taken to nsure that t s some knd of justce not the ablty to hold out the longest whch wll decde ths ssue. The obvous reacton cf everyone who consders ths proposton and has gven the case some thought already wll be that hs chosen sde s rght, and f we force a decson on the two partes, the other sde s sure to be dssatsfed; the trouble wll pop up agan as soon as they have re-nforced and ralled ther forces. That s the sort of thng that happens When a Mght Makes Rght case s carred through to the fnsh. In the last world war, and n ths one, dscountng any feelngs" we may have on the truth of our cause, we must admt that we won because we were mghter. The enemes felt that they were Rght but not Mghty enough, and the Teacton was only to strve n the next twenty years to become Mghter, and n that, Rghter. As long as there s no strong world government to force decsons on the bass of Rght, to chastse a country properly for nvadng a weaker country, Mght wll contnue to be the dotc crteron of world dsputes. Present All Facts In order that a just decson may be the result of compulsory arbtraton n a case such as the' General Motors-UAW strke, all the facts must be presented. It s dffcult to understand how a far settlement of a wage dspute can be made f the arbters are not suppled wth the most undsputed, objectve facts that can be found concernng the copj of lvng and the cost and profts of the ndustry. Both the damage that such a dsagreement does to the publc welfare and the real ssues of justce that are nvolved ndcate that the Federal Government s the one and the only one to brng the two opposng forces to an orderly and far settlement. FREE PRESS Letter from Dean Ella Keats Whtng To the Wellesley College News : Last summer for the frst tme everv Wellesley undergraduate took home wth her a lst of books to gude her vacaton readng. The lsts were prepared wth the hope of encouragng serous readng durng the longest summer vacaton we have ever had. For the upperclassmen, suggestons were made by the major departments, but for the freshman class there was one lst of books. Ths fall an effort has been made by the Commttee on Currculum and Instructon, asssted by the Student Educaton Commttee, to dscover how much readng was done by the Class of 1948 and to nvte crtcsms and suggestons. Questonnares were dstrbuted to the 419 members of 1948 who were freshmen last year at Wellesley; 279 nuestonnares were returned, and of these only sx were completely blank. Thus, 273 students all ndcated that thev had done some readng of the books on the lst. The number of books read completely ranged from one to fourteen. In addton, manv students ndcated that thev had read parts of a number of books. No count has been made of the number of books "found rewardng" and "not rewardng," but t s clear that there are many more checks n the column marked "rewardng" than n the second column. Many adjectves are used to descrbe the lst: forbddng, formdable, heavy, dull; stmulatng, nterestng, proftable, excellent. Comments upon the lst range from such statements as: "Ths s a redculous readng lst," "too long, very borng selectons," to such statements as: "Ths was a very well chosen lst," "The lst ws educatonal, broadenng, nterestng." In commentng upon the Dlan n general, some students sad that freshmen could be trusted to choose ther own readng; others sad they defntely dd not approve of anv program for summer readng. Some spoke of the conflct wth summer jobs; some, of the need of relaxaton and of dstaste for readng done wth a sense of oblgaton. A larger number, however, exnressed addroval.here are several ouotatons. "I would personally welcome a lst of suggested summer readng for all three of mv college summers." "I thnk a program of summer readng s an excellent, addton to the currculum." "Such a lst of recommended readng should be made aval- "Me to every class every summer." "I know that the famly profts as murh as the student when the books are rght at hand." A rood many students thought that the freshman lst was too long and many of the books too dffcult. In makng suggestons for the future, several peonle recommended the Yale nlan of requrng the readng of eght, classcs n the summer; others sad thev would welfome a longer lst wth more choce, accomnaned by the suggeston that eght or ten bonks should he read durng the vacaton. There was rather wdespread feelng that a summer readng lst should con tan more fcton, more noetrv. and a greater number of contemnorary hooks than anneared on +he lst last summt. Among snecfe suggestons whch were m«de. the followng hooks and authors were (Contnued on Page 6, Column 3)

She has played the voln snce she was nne, and started playng the pano so much before that, that she can't remember exactly when t was. "But I went through the stage of hatng to practce, and somehow the pano was left by the waysde," Marge sad, addng, "I guess the only reason the voln survved was that I was n the school orchestra and had to practce for that!" She's glad now that she dd stck at t, for musc has developed nto Marge's frst love. Playng n a group s much more satsfyng than playng alone, she thnks, for "t's just lke any other thng where you're part of a team and know that you're dong somethng necessary to make t work rght." Played n School Orchestra Playng at church functons, n her hgh school orchestra, n the New Jersey All-State Hgh School Orchestra, and wth the Maplewood, New Jersey, Symphony kept her n practce wth group work before comng to Wellesley. Here she contnued her voln lessons wth Mr. Rchard Burgn and joned the Wellesley orchestra. Marge also plays n varous chamber musc groups under the drecton of Mr. Harry Kobalka and, takng a "busman's holday," plays whle her panstfrends accompany her. Her favorte composers are Beethoven and Mozart, although she thnks that she may be prejudced because she's been workng on a Beethoven concert ths fall. Majors n Englsh Lt "What seems to surprse many Wellesley Inn by Bea Alfke '/,8 Margaret Torbert '46 people s that I'm not majorng n musc but n Englsh Lt," Marge sad. However, she s takng almost enough musc to major n that too, and fgures that f she were a musc major she would spend 99 per cent nstead of only 90 per cent of her tme n Bllngs. In that remanng 10 per cent of her tme, Marge manages to get her other work done, to be a class member on Superor Court, to wrte musc crtcsms for Nevs, and to be a member of TZE. Last year she was Vl Junor at Joslyn and n her sophomore year was treasurer of C.A. She especally enjoys her Englsh major, clamng that she takes t manly because she felt the need of a well-rounded educaton, and thnks that "when great thngs have been sad they should be read about and studed." After graduaton, Marge hopes to do graduate work n musc, perhaps at Radclffe, and then to wrte about musc or teach t n college.
