THE STATE LEGISLATURE AND THE WOMAN'S COLLEGE

As alumnae know, every two years the Woman's College — as well as all other state institutions and agencies — makes a biennial request of the State Legislature for maintenance and for permanent improvements. This re- quest— result of weeks of study and preparation on the part of college au- thorities and responsible committees, is presented first to the State Budget Commission, of which the Governor is ex officio chairman. After all presen- tations have been made, the Budget Commission makes its recommenda- tion with regard to every item re- quested, and publishes this report in book form. The commission also pre- pares a bill to be introduced into the Legislature, embodying its recommen- dations.

Last fall. Chancellor Jackson made the presentation to the Budget Com- mission on behalf of the Woman's Col- lege. In "Up and Down the Avenue," the various items in the Request for Permanent Improvements are pub- lished, with the recommendation of the Budget Commission printed op- posite. The total request for Main- tenance is also published. After you have read these requests, with the corresponding recommendations, once, and perhaps several times, two or three questions are likely to arise.

You w ill wonder whether the recom- mendation of the Budget Commission is fair to the Woman's College as compared with the other two units of the L'niversity of North Carolina. With regard to maintenance, the Col- lege feels very much encouraged over the amount recommended. With re- gard to permanent improvements, even though not every item asked for re- ceived an affirmative recommendation.

still the College is likewise encour- aged by the report of the commission. The recommendations made would seem to indicate that the State has definitely recognized the place and the importance of the Woman's College in the program of higher education in North Carolina. Moreover, it is en- couraging to remember that seldom, if ever, have the recommendations of the Budget Commission been reduced. Occasionally they have been increased.

You w ill probably ask then • — will an effort be made to secure appropria- tions for any item not recommended, or to increase certain recommenda- tions that have been made?

The next step in procedure will be the hearing of the L'niversity of North Carolina, including of course Woman's College, to be held before the .loint Appropriations Committee of the House and Senate, in Raleigh, on Feb- ruary 6. At this time, representatives of the College will appear and present evidence in support of the request for maintenance and permanent improve- ments. As this is written, the question has not been decided whether an ef- fort will be made to secure an in- crease in the recommendations of the Budget Commission. But bv the time this number of the ALUMNAE NEWS is in your hands, some of the results of the hearing may have already reached you through the daily press. At the moment, we would say that the order is to stand by, on the alert, ready for action, if action should be needed.

WORK OF THE ALUMNAE

To give all possible aid to President Graham, Controller Carmichael, Chan- cellor Jackson, and Assistant Con-

troller Lockhart, an Alumnae Legis- lative Committee was appointed, com- posed of the following: Sadie Mc- Brayer McCain, Stella Williams An- derson, Josie Doub Bennett, Margaret Blakeney Blair, Annie Kizer Bost, Laura Weill Cone, Betty Brown Jes- ter, Elizabeth Hinton Kittrell, Julia Ross Lambert, Iris Holt .McEwen, Emma Lewis .Morris, Cornelia Jones Privott, Cornelia Setzer. Katherine Sherrill, ' and Lyal Reynolds Shoe- maker; lone H. Grogan. president of the -\lumnae Association, and Clara B. Byrd. alumnae secretary.

The first step taken by this com- mittee was to name certain alumnae to interview members of the Budget Commission on behalf of the College. This work was done last fall.

The next step was to group the counties of the state into districts, with members of the committee as district chairmen. In turn, an alumna was named to serve as legislative chairman in these respective districts. The work of the county chairmen con- sisted in interviewing their represen- tatives and senators before they left for Raleigh, pressing the claims of the Woman's College. The county chairmen thus became our "front line." These county chairmen have done their work in various ways — in some instances a luncheon, given in honor of their representatives in the General Assembly, provided the setting. But regardless of the plan, the purpose every where was the same — to see to it that the members of the General -Vssembly were thoroughly informed about the needs of the Woman's Col- lege and to ask their united support.

If a third step should be necessary, the alumnae stand ready to take it. whenever and whatever it may be.

The Department of Economics at Woman's College

By DR. ALBERT S. KEISTER

Head of the Department

When a person picks up any daily newspaper, what does he find featured in the headlines? Price Control. In- flation. Strikes. Growing Tension Be- tween Russia and the Western Powers. Atomic Energ)'.

These problems are predominantly economic in character. They have to do with trade, labor unions, commu- nism, cost of living, cheap power, international rivalries — all funda- mentally economic questions. Reading the news of the day with understand- ing requires a knowledge of economics.

When we leave the comics and the movie and confessional trash and turn to the serious magazine articles and books dealing with present day issues, we likewise encounter for the most part economic discussion. The literate reader today must know his economic A B C's.

Furthermore, a democracy requires the people to pass judgment on candi- dates for office. Many of these aspir- ants talk glibly but say nothing; some promise the impossible. How is the voter to tell the possible and socially worthy from the impossible and un- worthy? A critical judgment must be founded on knowledge. Since most of the oratory and promises have to do with economic problems, the voter who would separate the wheat from the chaff must have an elementary knowledge of economics.

This, then, is the first objective of the department of economics at the Woman's College: to offer to all of our students training in elementary economics for citizenship purposes. A good case could be made for requiring all of them to take at least one course in economics. But required courses suffer from the fact that they are required. The student is likely to ap- proach them as though they were med- icine to be taken; the sooner it is gotten over with, the better. Then she can take something she really wants. The learning process is expedited when a course is taken because the student wants that course.

At the Woman's College all candi- dates for the A.B. degree and most

Dr. Albert S. Keister

candidates for the B.S. degree are re- quired to take two years of social sci- ence. Since history is the only social science offered in the freshman year, sll freshmen take history. In the soph- omore year, they choose among his- tory, economics, and sociology. Ap- proximately 40 per cent of the sopho- mores choose economics.

In addition to citizenship value, eco- nomics as a college study has a prac- tical or vocational value. Especially for girls going into the business world, economics is a definitely helpful sub- ject. It acquaints them with business terms; makes them familiar with cer- tain business principles; gives them some understanding of what goes on in an office, a store, a factory; enables them to grasp the meaning of business letters and forms. For these reasons the girls at the Woman's College who choose the curriculum leading to the degree in secretarial administration take a considerable amount of work in economics. Especially pertinent to this program are the courses in prin-

ciples of economics, principles of ac- counting, business law, principles of marketing, money and banking, busi- ness organization, and labor problems. Not only is economics worthy of collegiate study for its citizenship training and its practical or vocational value but also for its personal applica- tions. Women nowadays buy 75 per cent of all the commodities sold for personal and household uses. They handle the family funds. They should know about such personal and family financial matters as budgeting, keep- ing a checking account straight, life insurance, buying, mortgaging and paying for a house, and investing in savings bonds and good corporate se- curities. These are everyday practical questions of personal finance. No woman's college is doing its duty un- less it offers to its students training along these lines. Both the home eco- nomics and the economics departments .;r Woman's College offer work in this held, not in competition nor duplica- tion but in co-operation.

These, then, are the three main ob- jectives of our department: to give the student an elementary knowledge of economics for citizenship duties; to give the young woman entering the business world some understanding of business and how it functions; to train the stvident to handle money, both her own and her family's, wisely and effi- ciently.

The trustees, the faculty, and the students have recognized the growing importance of the social sciences in general and of economics in particular through the years. When the college was founded some fifty years ago, no social sciences were offered. Forty years ago history was admitted, followed some years later by a course in poHtical science. Thirty years ago sociology was introduced and a few years later a course in economics within the de- partment of sociology won approval. Twenty years ago the work in eco- nomics was deemed important enough ro justify giving it departmental status. During the past twenty years the economics department has grown from an enrollment calling for one teacher to an enrollment necessitating five teachers.

Since trained economists are presum- ably useful members of society, many calls come to the department for out- side service. During the past fifteen years, members of the department have rendered various public services, such as assisting the State of North Carolina in revising its tax system; serving on

The Alumnae News

X number of state and local commis- sions; aiding the City of Greensboro by membership on the city council; doing consulting work with the Na- tional Resources Planning Board; hear- ing and arbitrating labor disputes for the National War Labor Board; re- search, writing, and publication in re- gional and national periodicals; not to mention service in the armed forces and almost innumerable addresses be- fore clubs, civic groups, and radio listeners.

One of the chief needs of the de- partment is, in common with all of the other departments of the college, more liberal appropriations, so that better- trained, more stimulating teachers can be employed. It is especially difficult for our college to compete with the government and with great universi- ties for able economists. We get prom- ising young men and women instruc- tors only to lose them within two or three years to better-paying positions. Another need is for a social science building where all of the social sciences can be brought together and furnished with modern teaching and research aids, such as movie projectors, pamph- let rooms, and a statistical laboratory. Perhaps most important of all is the need for members of the department to maintain humility and the deter- mination to perform their teaching tasks more capably year after year.

lol llnte'iHationai Wella'ie

By ELLEN S. WOODWARD, Director

Office of Inter-Agency and International Relations, Federal Security Agency, Washington, D. C.

Address Delivered in Alumnae House, Saturday morning, November 9, 1946, at the Sixth Alumnae Seminar, on "Our World Today"

Because of our great resources the United States has emerged from the war with great responsibilities for giv- ing leadership in reconstruction. Of the great nations of the world the United States was the only one whose civilian population was spared the hor- rors of actual warfare and of bombing. We can hardly comprehend the suf- ferings of people in some of the coun- tries closest to the war.

For example, innumerable educated, cultured women like ourselves who re- sisted the enemy and carried on dar- ing underground activities have paid the penalty through imprisonment and often, death. Just recently while at- tending the International Assemblv of Women at South Kortright, New York, I met a number of women who had been through the most harrowing experiences in prison during the war. While they carry victory on their lips and in their hearts there are lines in their faces that show the results of the suffering they endured. At this International Assembly Meeting most of the evenings were taken up with reports of panel discussions during the

Sr/i-inc BiiilJ/iiii — erected in 1939

The Departments of Bioloj;), Chemistry, and Pinsics an

day. But one night it was decided to have an evening of music and singing — an informal get-together. After the singing of various national anthems, a rather youngish woman was asked to sing the Song of the Prison Camp. As her eyes looked out over that audience of several hundred and her voice was heard in this sad, mournful song, one could imagme something of what she lived through during those tragic days. Six or eight other women in the audi- ence raised their voices and joined with her in the song for they too had been imprisoned. This was indeed a dramatic moment.

Most of the sessions of this Inter- national Assembly of Women, how- ever, were devoted to discussions of such subjects as "What Kind of An Economic World Are We Living In?" and "^"hat Kind of Social Order Should ^"e Strive to Achieve?". Now that the war is over these are subjects of paramount importance to people the world over. All during the dread- ful years of Nazi occupation and of v,.\r, people were able to go on buoyed up by hopes and promises of a better world for them and their children after the defeat of the Nazis. All dur- ing the war Allied leaders promised their peoples that they would have after the war a better life with more security and more opportunities.

I truly believe that whether these promises are now made good depends in large part on what we in the United States do to help in dealing with the staggering economic and social prob- lems left bv the war. I also believe that the women of the Nation will help to determine the kind of leader- ship our country gives to solving these problems. Our women have always taken a great interest in the welfare of their communities — in the welfare of other families as well as their own. In the great depression of the '.^O's this interest was broadened to include

February, 1947

programs to meet Nafioii-w/de needs. Now, this interest must be extended to people in other countries of the world.

Informed women, especially college women like yourselves, will have to take the lead in giving the facts to the American public about our neiv World responsibilities.

Total war, affecting as it did whole civilian populations — not sparing even young children or the very old — caused problems of human suffering ,md misery of unprecedented magni- tude. Thousands of towns and villages were leveled to the ground (1400 in Greece alone) . Homes were destroyed or damaged with little possibility of repair. I myself saw families living in bombed out ruins or in the cellars of their former homes. The industry, the transportation system, the services, were largely gone or unable to func- tion. The schools, the hospitals, the welfare institutions ■ — many of the public services we take for granted — were destroyed. Poland, for example, lost two-thirds of its hospitals and three-fourths of its health and child welfare centers. For years now, mil- lions of families in both Europe and the Far East have been living in the midst of destruction without many of the basic essentials and decencies of life. Breakdown in morale, in stand- ards, and in values has inevitably re- sulted. A whole generation of chil- dren has known only these abnormal conditiaons with their warping effects on human behavior.

Early in the war, the Allied leaders, especially President Roosevelt, realized that urgent human needs arising out of the war must be provided for. Lib- eration must bring prompt aid. Be- cause of the immensity of the relief problems created by the war, new types of measures and organizations were required to deal with them. Ac- cordingly, under the leadership of President Roosevelt, in late 1943, the United Nations Relief and Rehabilita- tion Administration was established at an historic meeting at the White House, with 44 nations participating. In the words of President Roosevelt, "UNRRA was to take the first bold steps toward the practicable, workable realization of the thing called freedom from want."

This was the first operating agency under the United Nations — and so was the first experience of the United Nations in working together for the welfare of peoples. As you know, it was a temporary organization set up to meet emergency needs, when na- tions were liberated from the enemy.

Its guiding principle was helping peo- ple to help themselves. It made sup- plies and services available to govern- ments that were in need and wanted UNRRA's help.

UNRRA has carried on the largest relief operations in the history of the world. It has sent to needy countries over 14 million tons of emergency supplies — food and clothing, medi- cine, supplies for rehabilitation, seeds and fertilizer, so that people could start again to grow their own food; and other materials and equipment, such as railroad locomotives, to help get the wheels of industry and com- merce moving again. At the request of governments UNRRA has fur- nished trained workers in health, wel- fare and agricultural and industrial rehabilitation, to give technical serv- ices. These workers have helped in dis- tributing supplies, in preventing the spread of disease, in organizing health services, in providing essential welfare functions such as reuniting families and caring for homeless children, preg- nant women, the aged and the ill and maimed.

UNRRA, in conjunction with the Allied Military Forces, has carried out the tremendous job of caring for and repatriating millions of displaced per- sons in Germany and other countries. In the period of one year, over 5 mil- lion people were returned to their homes from Germany alone. Last year, I visited some of the camps for dis- placed persons in Germany and I saw the almost insuperable obstacles that the UNRRA workers had to overcome in caring for those suffering people. They had so pitifully little to work with — so little equipment. I was much impressed with the painstaking work that was done by their Tracing Bureau, particularly in tracing the rel- atives of children who had been sep- arated from their families. In a large number of cases UNRRA was able, by following every possible clue, to locate other members of these widely scat- tered families and to reunite the chil- dren with their parents — or if they were dead, with other relatives — at least with some one who could give them a home in their own country.

The most critical emergency prob- lems in the countries of Europe have been met by the governments with the aid of UNRRA. Although people are still living under intolerable conditions, they are beginning to get back on their feet. The emergency crisis has passed, but the long slow job of rebuilding the economy and the social institu- tions of these countries remains. This

will be the work of perhaps a genera- tion or several generations. It will rquire long-term planning. UNRRA is now in the process of winding up its work and will terminate the last of its activities in Europe within the next few months, and in China by next summer; the one exception in Europe being the activities for displaced per- sons which will be carried on by UNRRA until June 1947 when it is hoped that the IRO will be ready to take over.

During recent months the United States has been working with other nations to develop international ma- chinery to deal with the problems of i-econstruction and of security on a long time-basis. The organizations that have been set up and their success are of vital Importance to us in the United States because we are depend- ing on them to deal with the problems that cause war. In other words, they are our insurance against another war.

There is no easy way to prevent war. It can only be done by slow, up- hill, often discouraging work with the other nations of the world on all of our problems. That is why I believe that by doing all we can in this coun- try to help build international machin- ery through the United Nations, is the best way we can work for peace.

Because the needs for international action are so varied and touch every aspect of modern life, the United Na- tions have set up a number of differ- ent organs to deal with particular problems. First, the United Nations Organization itself was set up, as you will remember, in San Francisco in 1945. There are four major organs under the United Nations. The Gen- eral Assembly, which has been called "The Town Meeting of the World", is now meeting in New York City. This is probably the greatest diplomatic gathering the world has ever seen and its first meeting in the United States is truly an historic occasion.

In addition to the General Assembly, other principal organs of the United Nations are the International Court of Justice, the Security Council, which has received so much publicity in the press, and the Economic and Social Council, about which we have heard much less. The framers of the United Nations Charter considered the Eco- nomic and Social Council as important as the Security Council in the total plan for promoting peace.

In reporting back to the President of the United States after the San Francisco Meeting, the Chairman of

The Alumnae News

the U. S. Delegation described the work for peace in this way:

"The battle of peace has to be fought on two fronts. The first is the security front where victory spells freedom from fear. The second is the economic and social front where vic- tory means freedom from want. Only victory on both fronts can assure the world of an enduring peace."

The Economic and Social Council is the means of working on the second front - — solving economic and social problems and improving living condi- tions throughout the world. The Coun- cil has set up a number of commis- sions to work in various fields. For example, there is the Employment and Economic Commission. Another is the Commission on Human Rights, with Mrs. Roosevelt as Chairman. This commission is developing an interna- tional Bill of Rights along the lines of the Bill of rights in our own Consti- tution. There is also a Commission on the Legal Status of Women, which is concerned with the inequalities that still handicap millions of women in the backward parts of the world.

Then there is the Social Commission, in which all of us should be especially interested because this is the organ of the United Nations that will be re- sponsible for planning and carrying on international activities concerned with

social problems and welfare measures. The Economic and Social Council has only recently named the 18 countries that are to be represented on the com- mission. The United States will be one of these members. One of the current questions of interest to us is the nom- ination of the United States member on this commission. I believe it is very important that the United States have a strong representative who has a broad background in social welfare and is in a position to take construc- tive and creative leadership on the commission. In the next few months — probably in January — this commis- sion will be meeting to make very im- portant decisions on what is to be done in international welfare.

In addition to the Economic and Social Council and its Commissions, there are a number of separate spe- cialized agencies of the United Nations operating independently but maintain- ing a close liaison relationship to the council. These agencies will undertake on a more permanent basis some of the functions that UNRRA carried on a temporary emergency basis.

For example, the new World Health Organization (which, by the way, is now meeting in Geneva) will carry on certain of the health activities of UNRRA.

Another important specialized

Agency is the proposed International Refugee Organization. The recent ses- sion of the Economic and Social Coun- cil of the United Nations which I at- tended in New York in September was devoted largely to the working out of plans for this organization. It will carry on the work of UNRRA for displaced persons. It will be responsi- ble for repatriating persons who can still return to their homes and for the finding of new homes and resettlement of refugees who, for one reason or an- other, cannot or do not wish to go back to the homes from which they were uprooted by the war. The Gen- eral Assembly has now been asked to approve a proposed constitution and a budget for this International Refu- gee Organization.

Major organs in planning for recon- struction and in stimulating economic recovery are the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International Monetar}' Fund. The bank is making funds and credits available to countries to rebuild their industry and trade. The fund is con- cerned with maintaining a stable cur- rency throughout the world.

The Food and Agriculture Organi- zation will deal with basic problems of assuring sufficient food supplies throughout the world and improving the nutrition of all peoples.

Another specialized Agency is UNESCO — the United Nations Edu- cational, Scientific and Cultural Or- ganization, which is holding its first meeting in Paris this month. This or- ganization will provide the means for advancing knowledge and disseminat- ing information. It is counted on to build up mutual understanding and good will among countries through the interchange of information and per- sonnel and students. It will use the radio, the press, and even the arts to reach the peoples of the world in an effort to build support for living to- gether in peace.

I cannot take your time to discuss all of the United Nations Organiza- tions but I hope this discussion will serve to give you the general pattern.

I myself have been closely associ- ated with planning for international welfare activities. As you probably know, from the time of the establish- ment of UNRRA in 1943, I served as the United States Member on the Standing Technical Committee on Welfare of UNRRA and acted as Ad- viser on Welfare to the United States Member at each of the Five Sessions of the UNRRA Council — Atlantic City, Montreal, London, Atlantic City, and Geneva.

A tremendous amount of valuable experience has been gained from this first United Nations effort for mutual aid. This experience should be taken advantage of in the development of the permanent organizations.

At the Geneva Council Session last Augvist we considered which of UNRRA's operations must be con- tinued. After a careful review of present needs, the UNRRA Council adopted a number of resolutions pro- viding for the transfer of responsibili- ties to the United Nations. The Gen- eral Assembly was asked to review the needs during 1947 for financing the import of supplies, particularly food and supplies for agricultural produc- tion, and the need for financial assist- ance. The UNRRA Council also asked that the Food and Agriculture Organi- zation consider at its next meeting how the maximum amount of tech- nical assistance could best be given to the liberated countries to speed up their own agricultural production.

I have been particularly concerned with welfare activities. We knew that some of the countries still have terrific problems of caring for undernourished children and orphaned and homeless children who have suffered incredibly horrible experiences during the war. Special provisions must be made for

these children if they are to grow into adult citizens who can help to rebuild their countries. Saving these children in countries that have suffered such se- vere losses of manpower is of critical importance from every point of view.

Then there are the large numbers of people who have been physically maimed and handicapped by injuries Incurred in the war. Large scale serv- ices for physical and vocational reha- bilitation must be given. Skilled per- sonnel is needed and many kinds of equipment for community services. The countries that have been most se- riously affected by the war cannot m^eet all these needs without some aid.

At this UNRRA Council Session, therefore, the United States introduced a resolution, which was adopted, pro- viding for the transfer to the United Nations of some of these essential wel- fare functions. Another important resolution adopted at Geneva which was supported by the United States, had for its purpose the establishment of an International Children's Fund to carry on special services to rehabilitate the children and adolescents in the countries which were occupied by the enemy.

Following this action by the UNRRA Council in Geneva, the next step was to secure action by the United Nations. At the September meeting of the Economic and Social Council, it was my privilege to work with others on the United States delegation in fol- lowing up these matters.

Our representative on the Council, the Honorable John Winant, intro- duced the resolution that was adopted asking that provision be made for the United Nations to perform urgent and imoortant functions now carried on by UNRRA in the field of social welfare. A second resolution was also adopted to set up the International Emereency Children's Fund. The plan for the In- ••ernational Children's Fund will now have to be acted on by the General 'Assembly.

In all of these United Nations or- s'anizations, what the United States does or does not do. is of critical im- portance— all of the nations must rontribute to the success of these new means for cocoerating internationally. But the United States, because of its great resources and power, is, of course, in a key position.

When we think of how the safety of all of us — even the continued ex- istence of our world as we have known it — mav hinge on our being able to work together with other nations in these undertakings, we realize that no

effort is too great to make. That is why I feel so deeply that taking a constructive part in developing Amer- ican policy on international coopera- tion in all these fields offers a great challenge to our women.

I hope that individual women and women's organizations throughout the country will actively help to build public understanding of the critical issues before us. In this way they can strengthen the hand of our President and our representatives in the United Nations organizations. They can give vigorous courageous leadership in in- ternational activities only if they know they have the strong, informed support of the American people. We must dem- onstrate to the people of the w^orld that we are solidly behind our dele- gates.

Women, better than any one else, can influence public opinion toward pence. Think what the result would be if we could harness the full power and influence of women throughout the world in the cause of security and peace. Now, there is a greater chal- lenge than ever before for women to give this leadership.

In the span of a lifetime we have had two devastating wars. We dare not fail in the cause of peace asain. Let us accept this challenge whole- heartedly — and God grant that this time we shall succeed. So that, in the words of President Truman, there shall be an "end of aggression, the mainte- nance of peace . . . the promotion of social justice and individual rights and freedoms and the substitution of rea- son and justice for tvranny and war . . ."

A Note on Alumnae House

As has been said in The ALUTVtNAE News several times before — and yet we think it can be profitably said aeain, alumnae who are paid-up viem- bers of the Association are eligible to spend the night in ALUMNAE HOUSE. A small charge is made to cover maintenance and expenses — $2 a night for a person occupying a room alone; $1.50 a night, each, for two persons in a room. It is necessary to make reservations through the Alum- nae Office in advance, since space is so limited. In case of emergency, how- ever, see Miss Dorothy Clement, a member of the Alumnae House Com- mittee, in Gotten Hall.

University Sermon

By Dr. James T. Cleland

Preacher to Duke University

Delivered in Aycock Auditorium, Sunday morning, November 10, 1946, at 11:00 o'clock, as the final event of the Sixth Alumnae Seminar

A month or two ago it was my good fortune to attend the Fiftieth Anni- versary of the Choate School in Con- necticut, one of the great preparatory schools of which New England is so justly proud. The program of celebra- tion was a sound one, including both the recognition of the affection of the alumni for their old school, and the evaluation of the place of the prepara- tory school in the world of today. But one evening was given over to good food and pleasant compliments. Eight headmasters spoke (for four minutes each) on their high regard for Choate, and a poet and several business men told (for four minutes each) what the school had meant to them. Then, as the concluding speaker, a young alum- nus was summoned to the microphone. He stood there in silence for a few moments; pale, gaunt, unkempt in a well-groomed way. He was the son of a former ambassador to Great Britain. He was an ex-service man, who had lost one brother in the war and also a brother-in-law, a high-ranking mem- ber of British nobility. In the pre- liminaries he had won the democratic nomination for a seat in the House in a Boston constituency. He told us how

he loved the school, with its genius for friendship, the best example of a big- little school in the East. But then he added — and this is the gist of his re- marks — "There is one realm in which the school is not only not doing a good job; it doesn't even seem to know that such a job exists. I mean the realm of politics. Only one master was con- scious of any need for political aware- ness when I was a student." And then he turned to the visiting headmaster and added, "And I have a hunch that things arc not much better in your schools."

It was quite a speech (also four minutes), but I think he caused even more confusion than Banquo's ghost did at Macbeth's dinner party. I do not think I shall ever forget him; I do not want to. There was in his face an intensity of emotion that illumi- nated it and gave him a prophetic ap- pearance. He sat down amid pro- longed if embarrassed applause, but he was unimpressed. He knew that no one there would really take him se- riously.

This is a good time to ask ourselves if this young New Englander's criti- cism of the prep school's attitude to

Mis

Ciiiiiliiu Si /<<>,/', Ih'tiil (ij lie Dilhii / iiiiii/ of Crniiiiii. ami a i^ii)i{l> nf /'cr s/iiilciifs siir^ C.l.nisl )nii\ turoh in the Curiiuiii liiii\^iiiii;r.

the political scene is a valid criti- cism of us in our academic circle. Are we educated folk avoiding the arenas where real battles between good and e\il are being or should be heroically fought? As a group of worshipping people, somewhat sensitive to right and wrong, let us ask ourselves what type of representative is needed at this puzzling juncture in human history.

We need men of ability, and when I say men I mean both men and women. That surely was one quality the Choate alumnus had in mind — ability. He knew that the preparatory schools in the East turn out better educated boys than the public high schools. They ought to; if they can't they should fold up their tents and silentl)' steal away. The teaching is better and the curriculum has depth as well as breadth. But that training is seldom carried to Washington or to the state capitols. Wall Street is the Mecca of the prep school student; neither the Christian ministry nor the political scene is sought bj' them in any numbers.

But granted that we want men of ability, our problem today is not fun- damentally a lack of brains in govern- ment. Listen to one of the shrewdest observers of American political life commenting on that. He is an Irish- man, born in Scotland, and now teach- ing in England. He knows America better than most Americans; you will agree with that statement if you have read his "The American Character" or have heard him on the trans-Atlantic quiz program. He is Dennis W. Bro- gan. Writing of the isolationist point of view, he says: "Nothing could be more absurd than to think that the chief spokesmen for the isolationist point of view are stupid, or ignorant, or lacking in character. They include some of the ablest, best educated (in the academic sense), and most respect- ed members of the Senate. If an av- erage English member of Parliament siiould undertake to debate with them, he would be displaying rashness not much less great than that of an aver- age English heavy-weight entering the ring against Joe Louis.

Of course we need men of ability. We have them — not all of them! But maybe more than in our aneer and rashness we are willing to adnvt. Our nrohlem is not fundamentally a lack c-f brains. We must look for something else 111 our representatives.

We need men of Inteerltw That, roo, our upsetting speaker had In mind. He said so in simple words and some of us knew that in his fight for the

February, 1947

democratic endorsement he had dis- played that in a courageous wav. And my mind went back to a day in Am- herst when an old alumnus of the col- lege, of the class of 18 80, stopped me on the common and said: "This is an era that doesn't keep its word. There must be something in the Bible on that." 1 told him I wasn't sure but that the opposite was in the Bible: "He that sweareth to his own hurt, and chang- eth not." He looked at me and said: Preach that. I am going to my room to read it." "Preach that." Well here I am domg it. It is a great text and comes from the 15th Psalm, 4th verse, the Psalm which describes the Jewish idea of a perfect gentleman. Dr. Mof- fatt translates it in telling words, "He keeps to his oath, though he may lose by it."

We need that in politics today — the man of integrity "who swears to his own hurt and changeth not." If you are in any doubt on that point, read the latest play by Lindsay and Grouse — "State of the Union." Study the character of the political boss, a gentle gracious man of "amiable com- promises" and "intellectual dishones- ties," and note the lines with which the leading lady sums him up and writes the label for all of his kind: "You fascinate me. You have such a complete lack of faith in sincerity — and you are so sincere about it." Place over against that the opening sentence from Emerson's essay on "Character": "I have read that those who listened to Lord Chatham felt that there was something finer in the man than any- thing which he said." Or again: "The people know that they need in their representative much more than talent — namely, the power to make the tal- ent trusted." It is that quality which makes the office of Member of Parlia- ment one of high honor and grave dig- nity. He would be a rash man who would say that that was commonly true of a seat in the House or Senate. People do not smile, either in derision or in apology, at the title of "Member of Parliament."

When a man in public life "swears to his own hurt, and changeth not," the country draws a deep breath and its lungs are filled with moral oxygen. Even his enemies pay him the tribute of a suppressed gasp of admiration. When a country squire leads an army and becomes a president, both against his desire; when a cabinet minister re- signs because of the shame of his coun- try's attitude to a little nation, then "even the ranks of Tuscany can scarce forbear to cheer."

We need men of integrity.

But that is not enough. Because men may be able and sincere, compe- tent and honest, at too low a level. Our age has watched men in high places, men of ability and integrity, strenuously loyal to the corrupt ma- chines which placed them in power. They are living examples of Plato's dictum that there must be a basic just- ice even among thieves, if the king- dom is to hold together. Something more must be added — something without which the other two qualities may be not merely useless for the com- mon good but positively dangerous to the body politic.

That third quality is spiritual vision.

It is not an easy quality to define, but I think you will grasp its connota- tion in an example. There died this year in Great Britain a member of Parlia- ment by the name of James Maxton. He was born in Scotland and was grad- uated from Glasgow University to be- come a teacher in a Scottish school. His purpose in life however was not only to teach children but to educate their parents, in social and political ideals. He joined the Independent La- bor Party and in time became its chair- m.an. During the First World War he was a conscientious objector, but that was not surprising, for he did not be- lieve in war and had his own ideas as to how people could live at peace. However, he made a speech in contra- vention to the Defense of the Realm Act and went to prison for a year. In his captivity he maintained his sense of humor, for in an apology for ab- sence from the ILP Annual Confer- ence, he wrote, "I am very sorry in- deed that I am not able to be with you at Newcastle; it is only the fact that I am confined to my room that pre- vents me from being with you." Hav- ing been sent to prison, Maxton was adjudged to be no longer a suitable teacher for the Glasgow school. The Education Authority dismissed him but before long he was back as one of themselves, being elected a member of the Authority in the first contest after the war. In 1922 he was elected Member of Parliament from the Bridg- ton Constituency in Glasgow and held the seat against all comers for 23 years. He was one of the group of "wild men" from "Red Clyde-side" who made Parliament a lively debating chamber in the 192 0's. During the Second World War he and two friends constituted a party of three who claimed in vain, on the formation of the first Churchhill Coalition Govern- ment, to be recognized officially as

"His Majesty's Loyal Opposition," be- cause they represented almost exclus- ively the only anti-war and pacifist body in Westminster.

His funeral service brought together an amazing group of men. Apart from his family and the ILP there were represented the Socialist Party, the Conservative Party, the Communist Party, the Scottish Nationalists Party and about eight other official organi- zations. The Prime Minister was per- sonally represented and so was Mr. Churchhill, who sent a wreath in- scribed "In memory and respect." It is difficult to tell you how beloved he was; but perhaps two incidents will give you an idea of the flavor of this man. Sir James Barrie when he was Lord Rector of Edinburg University, offered him the honorary degree of LL.D. He appreciated, but refused the honor. All through his last illness Mr. Churchhill wrote him regularly. The tribute to him came from people of every walk of life in Great Britain; but perhaps Sir Hugh Roberton summed him up best of all when he said in the funeral oration, "James Maxton was a great man. He was more — he was a good man, a just man, a true man, a brave man, a man without malice. This man, whom we all loved never sought to rule; he was content to serve."

Do you see now what I mean by "spiritual vision"?

I do not know anything of James Maxton's religious convictions. His friends spoke of his virtues in Chris- tian terms. At any rate he drew on the spiritual capital which generations of Christian men and women had stored up in his country. If you would understand the moral climate of Great Britain there are two books you must know, the Bible and Blackstone. The two pillars on which that civilization rests are the Christian faith and Com- mon Law.

What does that mean for a sensi- tive man? It drives him back to a recognition of the primacy of God, not merely as a Creator and Sustainer but as the ultimate .moral authority and the first and final Sovereign Power. Henry Luce of "Time" and "Life" knew that accent. Here is what he said in Page Auditorium at Duke Uni- versity last February: "Absolute sov- ereignty should not, in fact does not, exist anywhere short of the throne of God. The claim of any earthly king or any earthly government of any form to absolute sovereignty is, in the last analysis, blasphemy." When

a man believes that, the demands of a pohtical sect for an immoderate party sohdarity are amusing and if pressed too far, insulting.

And there is a corroUary to that, as Jesus saw. The well-being of one's neighbor is linked both with God and one's self because all are His creatures, the flock of His pasture and the sheep of His hand. When a man believes that, the demands for an exclusive class or caste or race consciousness are amusing, and if pressed too far, in- sulting.

\ man of sipirtual vision does not seek power primarily, though that is important and necessary. He offers himself in service, the service of one's fellows under God.

^'e need men of spiritual vision.

Ability, integrity, vision.

We may develop these qualities here. As members of a great University, it is your task to gain the knowledge that will give you ability, but it is also vour task to yield yourselves to a high religion which will give you a vision, which v.'ill provide the height and depth for your integrity. The Chris- tian faith is our proud heritage and we would do well not merely to accept it but to inherit it.

Then we shall be men and women ready for the hopes and hazards of political life. Then we shall be the Psalmist's words become flesh, ready "To swear to our own hurt, and change not."

Every two years, as the time for the convening of the Legislature nears, a ques- tion of vital concern to this College is asked .ind debated. Why a woman's col- lege.'' Why not another coeducational college in the framework of the Consoli- dated University? In his report to the Board of Trustees in January. 1933. after one year of consolidation. President Graham said. "In America, according to the genius of our people, there is a clearly developed need for both the coeducational institution and the distinctly woman's college. In response to the two needs. North Carolina has made provision for both. The Woman's College, on the basis of p.Tst achievements and present hopes, and through the loyalty, dreams, and plans of the leaders, faculty, and alumnae of the College, and the people of the Slate, is to be in the three-fold University a liberal arts college distinctly for v/omen. with a dignity and eminence of its own, second to none — the rising sun of a greater day. we devoutly trust, for the women of North Carolina. "

In dual capacity, both as an alumii.i and a member of the University Board of Trusle-'s. 1 ih'nk it of sign.il importance that the place tor and the need oi a dis- tincilv woman's college be now restated.

By LAURA WEILL CONE '10

at the Alumnae Seminar, November 8

Girls, many girls, and many parents pre fcr the atmosphere that is found only on a woman's college campus. This College has come a long way toward the excel- Ien:e we hope to attain. From a student body of 223 and faculty of 15 to a student body of 2.200 and a faculty numbering more than 250 persons. From a plant consisting of three buildings to a plant valued at $7,500,000. But size of student body, roll of faculty, and ade- quacy of plant do not alone make a col- lege, however greatly they may add to its power and efficiency. We have come a long way, too, toward the excellency which is the heart of any educational institution. We were a teacher-training school. We are a college. We are rec- ognized by those persons and institutions whose recognition counts. We are good, and here and there wc are excellent. It took a long time to become good. We are moving toward a more general super- lative.

Now let us suppose that the Legislature of 1147 should decree that we open our dcors to men students. What will hap- pen.' Wc shall certainly have an enroll- ment of men students, the number being questionable. It will probably be large .11 first. The G.I.'s problem is an acute one. But which boys will become stu- dents at Woman's College.' Town boys who wish to live at home, or who. lor financial reasons, must live at home. G.I.'s and .some other boys who cannot be admitted to men's colleges becau,se of

crowded conditions. In the main, boys who are on this campus because they cannot go where they prefer to go. A disgruntled group of students, prejudiced against the College before they give it a fair trial. And immediately the problem of expansion of the plant to meet the needs of a bi-sexual student body pre- sents itself. Additional rest rooms and lounges, additional toilet facilities, a dras- tic change and expansion in the physical education set-up to provide proper ath- letics for men students, men's dormitories. And money and more money so desper- ately needed for adequate facilities for the students already here.

But discount all of these objections to men on the Woman's College campus. all of which I willingly admit, permit of ultimate solution. I still maintain our identity as a woman s college should not be forfeited. We are part of a three- fold University. We are a distinctive part and. in my opinion, a necessary part. We become a coeducational college- — a competitor with Chapel Hill, and to a lesser degree with State. Our distinctive first place is lost, and we become a second rather, entering into competition with traditions and established precedents — a competition in which we have only a fair to poor chance. In these days we hear much of the ill effects of the sep- aration of the sexes in the formative years. I still believe in the education of girls at a woman's college, particularly under existing conditions. In these latter days the flavor of the strict boarding school or the nunnery has disappeared. Women students are not cut off from male companionship. Take a look at this campus any week-end to convince vour- sclf.

I would not presume to foretell the trend of college education in America. Perhaps, although I do not think so. but perhaps, the day of the exclusively wo- man s college is passing. When, and if. that day comes. I would say consolidate still further. Consolidate physically as well as intangibly. Let Chapel Hill and State absorb the girls who would nor- mally come here, and have the State put this plant to other uses. Make the Uni- versity a two-fold rather than a three- fold University with equal parity between the two institutions, rather than main- tain three institutions, one of which will of necessity become the step-child of the family. We shall then have contributed our part to the up-building of the State with no diminution of power or prestige or richness of contribution.

But I must restate in conclusion that 1 believe in the function of women s colleges. I believe in the function of this Woman's College, and I see no reason against and every reason for its continu- ance on the road that was chosen for it and that it has developed for itself. 1 see no reason, with continuity of in spired and inspiring leadership why. when the roll of the great women's colleges of America is called — Wellcsley. Smith. X'assar. Radcliffe. Mount Holyoke. Brvn Mawr — the name of this college should not be found on this roster of the great.

1 believe we have the choice of becom ing a superlative first or a mediocre sec- ond To m\' mind there is no choice.

Reading left to right: Margaret Fercbee. Jean Kirl^man — juniors; Lucy Rodgers. Betty Jean Pickett — seniors: Tommy Tomlin, sophomore: Dr. Anna Joyce Reardon, acting head of the Department of Physics and teacher of the class. TTie two other members, Betty Sue Beaman and Jean Fleming, seniors, were absent when this picture was taken.

Three prerequisites ate required for admission to this course; one year of general physics, one year of math — both on the college level, .md written consent of parents. The purpose of the course is to give to the students the background of theory that it is necessary for them to have to secure a pilot's license. In con- junction with the work on the campus — three lecture periods a week for one semester, the students receive 16 half hours of dual flying instruction at the Greensboro-High Point Airport. ("Dual flying instruction" means that the flying instructor goes along with the student in the plane.) At the end of this period of instruction, the student is supposed to be able to fly solo. A certain number of solo hours is next required before the student may make application for a pilot's license. Incidentally, these seven are all North Carolina girls.

"The Seven" and their training cub

Note on the Sixth Alumnae Seminar

Resuming the famous Alumnae Seminars which were interrupted by the war, the sixth in the series was opened on Friday evening, November 8, 1946, with a dinner meeting in North Dining Hall, and concluded on Sunday morning, November 10, with a University Sermon in Aycock Audi- torium. The general theme of the ses- sions was "Our World Today."

At the first meeting on Friday eve- ning. Miss lone H. Grogan, president of the Alumnae Association, presided and presented the speakers. Chancel- lor Jackson made the chief address, using as his subject, "Perspective — Taking the Long Look." Came next three alumnae who made five-minute talks, giving their viewpoint on cer- tain pertinent subjects: Mary Eppes Turner, on the problem of the young married college woman today; Laura Weill Cone, on maintaining Woman's College as a woman's college; Sue R. Johnston Ferguson on the new Home Economics Foundation and its pur- poses. As an extra feature and delight- ful surprise, Gov. Raymond Baldwin, of the State of Connecticut, and sena- tor-elect, present in Greensboro for the day, was a guest at the dinner and talked briefly to the group about edu- cation and educational institutions in his state.

On Saturday morning, the Seminar, meeting in Alumnae House, had as presiding olficer, Miss Jane Summerell, chairman of the Seminar Commit- tee, who introduced both speakers — Mrs. Ellen S. Woodward, director. Office of Inter-Agency and Interna- tional Relations, Federal Security Agency, Washington; and Max Lerner, distinguished editor of P.M., present on the campus as lecturer that evening in Aycock, on the College Lecture Se- ries. He spoke in place of President Frank P. Graham, who was unavoid- ably absent. Dean Harriet Elliott led the discussion following these addresses. In the afternoon, four of our be- loved ones — Miss Petty, Dr. Gove, Miss Jamison, Mr. Forney, received visiting alumnae at tea in Alumnae House. Preceding tea. Miss Elizabeth Cowling and Mr. William Deveny, 'cellist and baritone, respectively, ac- companied by Mrs. Inga B. Morgan —

all of the ^'Oman's College School of Music, gave a brief but thoroughly enjoyable concert.

Later in the afternoon, all guests had the privilege of viewing the In- ternational Textile Exhibit in Weath- crspoon Gallery — courtesy of the Art Department. Seminar visitors were guests of the college that evening at

the scheduled lecture by Max Lerner.

Dr. James T. Cleland, preacher to Duke University, was the final speaker on Sunday morning in Aycock Audi- torium.

This sermon is published in full in this number of The Alumnae News; also the address by Mrs. Woodward, and the talk by Mrs. Cone.

Sue and the children are still in Exeter. "It seemed futile to try to find comfortable living quarters for all of us in the Washington of the present. Besides, we did not want to sell the old house we have bought here. My husband likes his work in Washington very much, as well as the interesting people who are his associates. Since he has been away, I have had to play the role of 'con- tractor' to the house, and have spent a good deal of precious time scurrying around trying to find materials from any source at all — wrecking concerns, lum- ber yards, junk dealers, hardware stores — anybody, anywhere. You see we want to remodel the ell of this house into an apartment, so that we can rent it, and then leave our renters as caretakers: and by another fall the children and I will go to Washington to be with Jean. He has 30 days for vacation, and can plan those days very much as he wishes: and so we hope that we may all be up here for part if not all of every summer. I am delighted to be able to look forward to being in Washington, nearer my col- lege home. Washington and Greensboro are not too far apart for visiting. My three daughters are growing into big girls. Suzanne is as tall as I, and is in the 8th grade at school. Claire and Jean- nette — I teach them at home. They are

Sarah (Hamilton) Matheson and her family are living in Gainesville, Fla., where the state University is located. "My family and I spent two delightful months on vacation at Montreal, and in David- son, my old home, but returned last fall to Gainesville. Here we are trying to restore my husband's ancestral home. Of course it is a difficult time in which to build or remodel: nevertheless we are getting a good deal done and having fun in the doing. We are enjoying life too in this university center, and finding, as is to be expected, the associations and the cultural advantages most stimulating. Re- ligious, civic, and social activities are making their demands upon our time. But I shall write you more about all this later."

This year Velma is president of the South Carolina Academy of Science. She is also serving as chairman of the committee for the erection of the new science building at Coker — it is sched- uled to be built as soon as materials are available.

We headed south by way of Atlanta, Ga., and Montgomery, Ala.: turned across Texas, and then north to Oklahoma and Arkansas City. Kansas, where we left Miss Coldwell with her family. Helen and I crossed Kansas (in that mid- west heat!), and stopped at Colorado Springs and Monitou Springs for several days. Then on to Denver and the Grand Canyon. From there up through the north country to the base of snow-capped M.ount Hood. We had the almost ecstatic experience of seeing Crater Lake by moonlight. Turning south, we drove along the coast of Cali- fornia, and then set our faces toward the east again, to Boulder Dam. Of course we stopped at many interesting places along the way until we reached Oklahoma again. From there — a straight line to North Carolina. We had been gone about six weeks. It was a wonderful trip."

BARBARA LINCOLN '34

American Red Cross

Barbara Lincoln li.is liad many truly wonderful experiences since she joined the ARC. The story in the September number of "Over Here," newspaper published by the American Red Cross starts like this: "Three American Red Cross girls escaped without injury when the 23,000-ton bride ship Ed- mond M. Alexander was badly crip- pled by an exploding mine at mid- night, September 7, some 5 5 miles out of Brcmerhaven in the North Sea . . . The Edmond B. Alexander was headed for Southampton, England, to pick up GI brides when the accident occurred. The ship had just left 800 American dependents, including 317 children, at Bremerhaven. . . . Five passengers were aboard when the mine exploded under the liner one minute after midnight on September 6. According to the Red Cross girls, who were asleep in their cabins at the time, there was a loud blast and a great jarring motion which threw everything topsy-turvy in the cabins. All except emergency lights went out at once due to damage to the ship's power plant. Fire extinguishers were torn from the walls and water

ran in some of the passageways. 'We knew that whatever hit us, or what- ever we hit, it was more than a shark,' said Barbara. . . . The women from the Edmond B. Alexander spent the night in the hospital of the George Washington and were taken back to Bremerhaven at noon the next day, on a mine-sweeper. The Edmond B. Alex- ander managed to stay afloat and was brought to harbor where it will be undergoing repairs for the next three months."

Barbara herself writes: "You will read from the enclosed clipping about my latest escapade. Consequently, be- cause our ship is so damaged, I am working in Germany pending its repair — probably by spring. I have been on ships for nine months, carrying British war brides and babies from England to the States, and since June also bringing dependents over to Ger- many. Perhaps this sounds simple but try to visualize the responsibility of providing play activities for 300 or 400 babies and children each trip, as well as handling the work of helping anxious English brides 'bridge the ocean' between their old and new home country. Now I am working in a hospital in Kassel, Germany, near the Russian zone. Kassel is 90 per cent bombed out and rather a dismal spot. But one bright spot here is the recent addition to our Red Cross staff of Mary Elizabeth Partridge '3 3, known as 'Pat.' She handles all the recreation work of the hospital and I do the social work. We are in the building that was Gen- eral Von Runstedt's headquarters and from here he planned the Battle of the Bulge that frightened me two years ago out of ten years growth. We have a nice apartment in a building sur- rounded by barbed wire, guarded by a Polish guard. Life is pretty much re- stricted, and since the sun never shines in this area, I wouldn't recommend vour coming to visit us here. Of course we talk often of our college friends and have learned a lot from each other about what has happened to many of them. I hope before many months have gone by that I can make a personal visit to the College. Meanwhile best wishes- to every one."

The majority of the churches in which I work are without pastors. I really have to be a jack of all trades in these rural churches, but I am enjoying my work immensely. During the summer I attended a Young People's Assembly and a Baptist Women's house party, and through these contacts became better ac- quainted in the state."

Mass.. "and believe me. when I say it was quite a task with so short a time in which to prepare. Nevertheless I really did enjoy the work there. We had 8 weeks of camp. 70 children a week, and I had 20 counselors on my staff. I returned to the city early in Sep- tember and started my winter program, but I do miss being out of doors. Al- though I am a 'veteran.' I have not yet been able to find an apartment, and so I commute to our camp, which is 10 miles away. When the snow falls, and winter sets in. I have a feeling that it will be mighty cold up here in New England."

Jane (Walker) Cathey writes that "we are in our own home at last. We started a garage apartment the 20th of last May and moved in the 4th of July. And were we thrilled to be in something of our own after such a long time!

The walls and ceilings are cov- ered with native white pine, waxed to a dull satiny finish. Also — to tell you all about our 'mansion.' we are lucky enough to have hardwood floors. At this writing, we have not been able to get a bath tub. but have at least a com- fortable substitute."

February, 1947

A Letter from Anne Pitoniak '43

— in Tokyo, Japan

Dear Miss Byrd;

To begin, ^s is highly proper, at the beginning: ten females of assorted sizes and talents, under the general guise of Civilian-Actress-Technicians, left Hamil- ton Field, California, on March 1, 1946, for Overseas! We clambered aboard a C-54 with all manner of anticipation of what was to come. Mine was mostly of the air sickness which I felt was sure to come — but, happily, didn't.

Six days later we landed in Manila • — a wrecked, smelly shell of a city. We gaped at the carretelas, or native carts, held our noses at the rotting smell in the markets, and took pictures furi- ously of one another in front of caribous, or holding fighting cocks.

Soon the Array separated us into two groups — and our five went off to Ba- tangas. south of Manila, to organize a legitimate play, using the soldiers sta- tioned there in the men's roles. We pro- duced, or, rather, resurrected, an M. R. Rinehart thriller. "The Bat," and had wonderful fun with it. We played on open air stages all through the area and all through the changing weather —

from hot to hotter and rainy to more rainy !

Then on May 7. we again boarded a trusty '54. landing at Atsugi Airfield. Yokahama. that afternoon. We came into Tokyo, thirty miles distant, by bus. "O-o-o-oh! Look at the tiny street cars' Kimonos! How do they walk in those shoes.' What's hello in .Japanese? 'Mushi mushi?' How funny!" We peered around excitedly, marvelling at the modernity and cleanlinoss of the city — the broad avenues and shade trees and the high beautiful buildings. And we had our first glimpse of our theater, the Ernie Pyle.

The next few days were a whirl. We met twenty-five other CATS — I us2 the term loosely! — and our superiors, and were shown over the theater. It is a ter- rific place! It had been, formerly, the Takarahaza Theater, part of the Toho chain, presenting revues and movies, but during the war had b?en used as a bal- loon factory. Our Army took it over and it is now the foremost entertain- ment certer of Japan. (I forgot to men- tion that we gals are War Department employees, assigned to the Army, to help organize and to appear in Soldier Show productions ) The building has five stories, and a lovely roof garden — is complete with libraries, exhibition rooms, snack bar, a newsreel theater, and a main auditorium. This auditorium seats 2800 and is always filled to capacity. The stage has a 68" proscenium arch, a 50' revolving stage, and the most modern of modern technical and lighting equip- ment. I really felt like slightly less than a Ziegfeld girl the first time I walked around in all that splendor! The theater has a staff of 300 Japanese — not in- cluding a chorus line of 50 Japanese girls — and a stage crew of one hundred laborers. There are approximately 100 American soldiers on temporary or perma- nent duty to appear in the shows or to do administrative work. It has an all-GI symphony orchestra, a show band, and two "combos. " It offers eight stage pro- ductions, both legitimate and variety, and twelve different movies per month, which means a constantly changing bill of fare for the GI. One of the more stupendous productions was a recent presentation of "The Mikado." Our gals walked around for weeks with their heads hanging be-

tween their knees from the weight of the wigs they wore! Japanese entertainers are in:orporated into our shows occasion- ally, as in "The Mikado," or they show separately. They presented their Moon Festival ceremonies recently, to a highly enthusiastic audience.

I had scarcely recovered from my intro- duction to the theater and to Japan itself. when I was thrust into rehearsal, doin^ the part of Ruth in "My S'stcr Eileen." We played the regulation week at the PYLE, and then as happens with all shows, wc took to the road.

For a few weeks, we toured northern Honshu and the Island of Hokkaido. Between shows, we wandered around the mountains, which are especially beautiful in the north, and went to rest camps for hot sulphur baths. There we slept on soft mats and ate at small round tables — cross-legged. Japanese style. We refueled in Tokyo — and went off to southern Honshu and the Island of Kyu- shu. There we went wild buying clois- sonne ware and Satsuma tea sets. We went to the Shrine City, beautiful Nara to see the sacred deer. Luckily, we found Japanese who would exchange sweet po- tatoes and rice balls for our more prosaic biscuits and cheese, so we might feed the deer — and we traveled by rickshaw to temple after temple.

Limping into Tokyo again, we stretched out for a brief — or "skoshi," as the Japanese say — rest. But my rest- ing had to be done between scenes of "Night Must Fall." In this I do — and I am brought up to the present now — the part of Mrs. Terrence. the Cockney housekeeper. The Play-Likcrs did it in 1942. you may remember.

We have finished our run at the Pyle. and are currently awaiting orders to take us north again. In the meantime, we are meandering around the Ginza, the main shopping street, or buying our win- ter clothing at the Quartermaster's. And we are still taking pictures of one an- other (that seems to be an occupational disease), but this time, near the Imperial Moat, or in front of the Diet Building.

To sum it all up, it is a tremendous kind of an experience and FUN! And I will be a little loathe to leave it all. comes this spring. My best to everyone! Most sincerely.

Anne Pitoniak '43.

Sara (Warwick) Porter is living in Cincinnati, Ohio. "My husband returned from Service with the Air Corps in In- dia on Thanksgiving Day. 1945. and was discharged in December following. We moved to Cincinnati in February, and plan to live here permanently. We have 2 sons — Johnny 2 5 months old. and Bobby born on October 4 last. I have very little time for outside activities at the present, since my home duties keep me so well occupied. I certainly do look forward to receiving my copy of the News: so here is my fee."

Barbara Ruffin has been working on a master's degree in education at the Uni- versity of North Carolina. Chapel Hill, and was hoping to finish up last Decem- ber.

Elizabeth (Stinson) Wilson has been living in Collingdale. a suburb of Phil- adelphia, since her marriage last June. "S^nce my husband was released from the Service — he was a captain in the Air Corps — he has been sports editor of the Chester (Pa.) Times. We have spent the greater part of our time on baseball diamonds, football fields, and golf courses. In addition to 'trotting around' with him. I have been substi- tuting.

Ruth White writes from Okinawa. "As I gaze out across the hills toward the China Sea. I sometimes wishfully long to be back in that atmosphere of college life. Yet. in the past ytar. I have learned more than any college could have taught me — more about psychology and human beings: more about physical edu- cation, adapting it to meet needs; more about the Orient and the culture of the people we have been taught to hate. It has been a fruitful year, but a hard one. Living conditions have improved, but could still progress. I have put myself wholly into recasing a club for the 8th Air Force. I have painted, sawed, ham- mered, sewed, scrubbed, written reports — for weeks at a time: planned pro-

grams for thousands and fixed sandwiches for a similar number. Have seen native life — their play and work: also China and the Philippines: have had to im provisc games, teach swimming and golf Have driven trucks over washboard roads and made talks to the newly formed women's club. There have been a multi tude of jobs, but I have not once hesi tated. because within me there is the abil ity to adapt — an abilitv which Wom- an's College and the Physical Education Department helped me to develop. You'd be amazed at the people who can't adapt themselves — of the 250 who have been here, only 3 5 are left — they couldn't finish the game. This is no true confes- sion.' and yet maybe it is. But Miss Coleman's work and the work of her department has gone around the world With her students — a vital and growing thing. 1 am grateful to her. not for my- self alone, but for the many who have been influenced both directly and indi- rectly by her."

Lola Maie Johnson writes that she has read the ALUMNAE NEWS with great en- thusiasm during the two years she has been out of college, "and have looked forward to receiving each number. So much has happened to me during these past two years. In May of this year I received definite news confirming the death of my fiance, a first lieutenant in the Army. He and nine other officers left on a reconnaissance tour over Northern Luzon, and the plane never came back. For many months the search for the mis- sing plane and men went on. only to find in the end that all the men aboard had gone to their death. Since my grad- uation. I was employed for some time with the New Hanover County Public Welfare Department, as a case work as- sistant. Most of my spare time was spent doing volunteer work in the YWCA here — as advisor for the junior-senior civil reserve group. I also attended an art

class and a class in psychology, crafts, and homcmaking; was active in my church, the First Baptist, where I was leader of the Bible discussion group, president of the Young Women's Auxili- ary, director for the Young People's Sun- day School Department, committee mem- ber for the evangelistic program, and ad- visor for the Training Union. I liked my Y work very much — so much in- deed that in February of this year I sent in my application to national Y head- quarters in New York City, and since September of last fall I have been em- ployed as the Teen Age Program Director of the Y work in Raleigh. I supervise a program for teen-age youth, and also the program for co-eds. I train and work with nearby advisors and program leaders of both YWCA's (white and col- ored).

Louise (Lazarus) Frankel writes that after the return of her husband from overseas in May, 1946, the two of them settled down among the hills of Hender- sonville — "to build our future. But first we had a second honeymoon, and spent several months in New Orleans, Miami, New York, and Chapel Hill. In addition to my continuing interest in the work of the Red Cross. I am also active in church and club work, and in various recreational groups."

Previous to her marriage last summer, Jean (Moomau) Boyd was on the public relations stafl^ of News Week Magazine. "I have resigned temporarily, until we are more settled and sure of where we shall be living. Enclosed is my alum- nae fee. I do enjoy the NEWS so much — in fact, the whole family reads it avidly, calling out with delight when they spot a familiar name. Of course you know that my sister. Barbara, is a freshman at Woman's College this fall."

Caroline McBride writes that she has a very interesting job in High Point, with the Southern Furniture Exposition. "I keep the books for the building and also do some shorthand and typing. As you may know, this building was leased to the Government during the war. and was returned to us about the time I came down here. Now we are rebuilding the structure and preparing for a furniture market in January. Buyers come in from all over the United States, and some from South America and the Philippines. As

'The Alumnae News

you may remember. I was located at fa- mous Oak Ridge, Tenn.. and it was very hard for mc to break away from there. But I did come back to North Carolina and have a wonderful job. I live in a room-ng house with six other girls — one of them a W.C. graduate. We are having a wonderful time together, but I do miss the Alma Mater. Enclosed is my alumnae fee — keep my n.ime on the rolls for the NEWS, please."

Harleston Mcintosh is working as home economist with the Farm Security Admin- istration in Scotland and Robeson coun- ties, with headquarters in Laurinburg.

Claire McRoberts writes from Jersey City. N. J., that she is glad to have an opportunity to say "hello" through the pages of the ALUMNAE NEWS, to her friends at Woman's College. "This year I am teaching home economics — some- thing I never dreamed I'd do while I was in college: and I love it. I am one of the home economics teachers in the Girls Trade School in Newark. In this school girls are taught proficiency in various trades. My girls specialize in the cafeteria trade. They arc taught to prepare a noon meal for students and teachers who desire to buy it. and within a limited amount of time. They are very enthusiastic and really grand to work with."

Doris McRoberts also v.'rites from Jersey City. "To begin with. Claire and I have not recovered from our plane trip to North Carolina and Woman's Col- lege during the June graduation of the Class of 1946! We are still talking about the wonderful time wc had. After an additional vacation through the New England states. I resumed my work in the Newark school system, teaching home economics in a pre- vocational school for mentally handicapped boys. We have a wonderful set-up. in which the boys are learning the cafeteria trade. They do a grand job of preparing a noon meal for 150 students and teachers. The ages of the boys range between 12 and 15. and they are just as interested in their work as I am."

Carol (Overcash) Dudley is teaching Spanish at High Point College. "And believe it or not. my husband is in one of my classes! It's very amusing to see the reactions of the other students as one by one they discover that Leonard is my husband. I simply love teaching here. I am also keeping house — if you could call our two rooms in Millikan Hall a house, and I like that too."

Katherine R. Taylor writes from Fort Mackinzic. Sheridan. Wyo.. where she is on the staff of the Veterans Adminis- tration Hospital, as an occupational the- rapy technician. "Shortly after gradua- tion. 1 entered Milwaukee Downer Col- lege, to study occupational therapy. This included a number of medical courses, clinical psychology, and psychiatry. I took also a number of courses in crafts. Following; this period of training. I en- tered Army hospitals as a civilian, to lake an internship for eight months. For instance I spent four months at Moore General Hospital. Swannanoa. From there I was transferred to Kennedy Gen- eral Hospital. Memphis. Tenn. Next I was sent to William Beaumont General Hospital. 1:1 Paso. Texas. At last my required training was completed, and I

am enjoying my work here as a profes- sional therapist. I never cease to be grate- ful for the excellent training I received at Woman's College. "

Maiy Alice Vann is a third year stu- dent in the Pennsylvania Medical School. Philadelphia. "I transferred here in April. 1946. from the medical school at the University of North Carolina, and 1 like the work more every day. Seeing patients makes it all seem a little less like school work and inspires me to do a little more of the 'school work' — as para- doxical as that may seem. I listen out for W. C. alumnae here in Philadelphia, and of course from time to time meet some of them I know."

Suzanne Walker says that she resigned from her position at the Newark Public Library to take a job in the library of Looft Magazine. "I have had this new position since last September, and find it more interesting every day. I was lucky enough also to get a place to live in New York City. I share an apart- ment with another girl, and this arrange- ment is proving to be very pleasant. Please know that I am looking forward to the arrival of the next number of the

Alumnae News — all with mv usual

eagerness."

Mary Antrim sends her alumnae fee from Elizabeth. N. J. "Please keep sendng the ALUMNAE NEWS. I am still working for the Standard Oil De%'eIop- ment Company, and like my job. But home and Greensboro and North Carolina keep tugging at me. and so I may be back there before too long. "

Jean (Blalock) Middleton is living in New Haven. Conn. "Jimmy, my hus- band, is a senior at Yale, taking a major in economics. I have a job at the Uni- versity as private secretary to a professor of anthropology. I am just crazy about my work, and find it very different from anything I ever even imagined I would be doing. I am learning new things every day. We like New England too. even though we have zero weather about six months of the year. But when we' are once through school, we hope to settle in the South. It is really great fun coming back to school with my husband, and as there are many other couples here from all over the country in the same boat, we have some swell times with the friends we have made. I miss seeing all the girls I knew at W. C and hearing from them, and would be more than hap- py if some of you would write to me. Won't you?"

Mary Burke writes that she completed her training at the Medical Center of In- diana University last August. ""Now I am administrative dietitian at the Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem. It is won- derful to be working here at home. Please send the next number of the NEWS to me here.""

Anne (Bynum) Perkins is living on the other side of the continent — in San Francisco. Calif. "And it seems a long, long way — well over 3000 miles — from my native state. But this is a de- lightful city of quaint native quarters, tremendously steep hills, and shadowy personalized restaurants. My husband and I came here last May. at which time Johns company. A. and M. Karghcnsian. transferred him to the San Francisco of- fice as assistant branch manager. We were very fortunate to find a comfort- able apartment. We have done a good deal of seeing the West too since we ar- rived, and the more we see of this coun- try, the better we like it. We often find a place where we can ice skate or swim, near enough to be reached in a few hours of driving. My husband, a Carolina man. is taking a few courses at the Uni- versity here — subjects that are valuable to him in his profession. There is also a chapter of his fraternity at the University of California, and it is a touch of old times to attend fraternity affairs again. Enclosed is my check for the ALUMNAE News — I wouldnt miss a single copy for anything."

Ellen Calvert has been doing secretarial work in the Agricultural Extension Ser vice of State College since her gradua lion from Woman's College.

I certainly hope to get back to W.C. for a visit before too long."

Erna Maude (Dysart) Baker says that she married a Yankee, and has been living at his home in Port Allegany, Pa.

Em- porium, Pa., and planning to take up his school work next year at Lehigh Uni- versity. Yankeeland isn't bad — in fact. I think I am going to like being one of them very much. I am looking eagerly forward to receiving my next copy of the

Alumnae News."

Dorothy French is health education di- rector at the YWCA, Warren, Ohio.

Irma (Estes) Magner is in New Haven, Conn., where she says "my husband, Tom, and I will be hanging our hats for about three years. He is working toward a Ph.D. degree in Linguistics. We feel very lucky to have a room near the campus, the housing situation being what it is. I have a job in the registrar's office — the work is interesting, though simple, and I have plenty of time to get what I am calling 'a free education' from the lectures, and such, that I have an opportunity to attend here at Yale. At one lecture, we were pleased to meet Dr. Howard Odum. of Chapel Hill, who is visiting lecturer here this year. You can imagine how flattered and pleased we were when he invited us to have dinner with him. It was grand to see a familiar and famous face. I have just heard that there are 1300 married students here at Yale — of course I keep wondering whether there are any other W.C. gradu- ates among them. I am eagerly awaiting the next number of the ALUMNAE NEWS. It is my main source of information about my college and college friends."

Catherine Fritz is doing graduate study in the Department of Hygiene and Physical Education, Wellesley College.

Anna (Gillespie) Rogers has a son. Paul Hamilton, born last April. "Since February, 1946, home has been a trailer in the State College trailer camp. There are several alumnae and their husbands in this camp, and they give the atmos- phere a touch of home — for me at least. While our husbands are in classes, we find time to discuss many things — not last, our days at W.C. It is quite an ex- perience too — trailer life in a com- munity of college students, wives, and children."

Anna Graham is spending her second year at St. Mary's School and Junior

College, as teacher of physical education. "I live in the dormitory with the girls, and find this experience really interesting. Last summer I was back at Woman's Col- lege, on the staff of the summer school Play-Likers. Here in Raleigh I have a chance to work with the Raleigh Little Theatre — I was stage manager for four productions last spring."

Camilla Griffin writes of her wonder- ful trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico, last May, on a visit to her aunt and uncle there. "I made the trip by plane — and it was my first trip south of North Car- olina too: and I really went South! The country of Puerto Rico is simply beauti- ful. Everything, it seemed to me, was brilliantly colored, and much of the scen- ery was even awe-inspiring. In the two months I was there, I think we went al- most everywhere one could go and saw everything to be seen. We encircled the island on one of our trips and crossed the island numerous times. We made this cross trip by way of the old Mili- tary Road which dates from Spanish times, and which has 110 hairpin turns in a stretch of 10 kilometers. We saw all the old buildings and places of his- toric interest, as well as the newer and more modern attractions. I really had a marvelous time. Swimming, sailing, and meeting interesting people were a part of it all too. On the way home, we stopped for nearly a week in the Domin- ican Republic — the climax of my whole journey. We visited the house in which Columbus is said to have lived when he was governor of the island, also the first cathedral in the New World. This last building shelters many priceless gems and gifts from the Old World to the Gov- ernor Columbus. I left it all on June 29 and flew to Miami by way of Port- au-Prince, Haiti, and Camaguez, Cuba. From Miami I took off to New Bern on June 30. a tired but very happy girl." Camilla says that early last October Doris Stryker, Evelyn Anderson, Bobbie Pettit and herself — all '45's — and Marge Hand '46, had a reunion dinner in a little French restaurant in New York City. "We had much to talk about, since Evie and Bobbie had become engaged since graduation."

Julia Hill writes from Minneapolis, Minn,, that "this Navy life is still O.K. by me. and so far as I know I shall stay in until about next June. However, with the well known custom of the brass hats about changing their minds. I can't be sure. I have been stationed in Washing- ton since I finished training at Lakehurst. N. J., last November, and I like the work even better than I thought I would. My job is at the weather bureau — Navy Weather Central, and although the work is specialized, it is beginning to be a little monotonous after a year here. Another WA'VE and I are trying to get transferred to an air station, where we think we might have an opportunity to go on routine flights as weather observers. I am certainly looking forward to receiv- ing my next copy of the ALUMNAE

News."

Grace (Hoyle) Barrett says that after waiting for an apartment for nine months, she is at last keeping house, "and finding it real fun. It takes nearly :]\ of my time too. so that I am doing only sub- stitute teaching this year. My husband and I had a wonderful trip to Florida a few months ago. We visited St. Augustine. Miami, Silver Springs, and other interesting places. I do look for- ward to the coming of the ALUMNAE News It is my only means of keeping up with the doings and whereabouts of many of my classmates, and so I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the next number — in our first home!"

Shirley R. (Edgar) Watt lives in Lansing. iMich. "My husband is a junior in the Engineering School at Michigan State College, and for the past nine months we have been living in the trailer village set up by the college for the mar- ried veteran students. There arc over 500 trailers, and 1100 barrack apart- ments in this area. When construction is completed, there will be approximately 1500 people living in the temporary housing units. Life in general is full of

fun and gaiety, with so many neighbors

particularly since all the young

couples are in the same boat. Perhaps 1 should add that I am teaching a 3rd grade in a nearby school. I still feel a twinge of homesickness for Woman s College."

Alice (James 1 Mendc writes that she is enjoying life in Wilmette. 111. Her husband has resumed his course of study at Northwestern University. "Since he was there for three years before entering the Service, it should not be too long before he gets his degree. I was fortunate enough to get a ride all the way back to my home in Laurinburg last summer, and so I went back for a visit. I do enjoy the ALUMNAE NEWS, so here is my fee. If there are any back copies which I have missed in travelling around, could you send them to me here.'"

Anne Jesnak is back at Pennsylvania State College — her second year as teacher of physical education. "I am just as crazy about the place as ever.

And oh yes, I am hostess this semester for 14 girls at the Theta Phi Alpha House, Last summer I was a ten- nis counselor at Camp Trebor, Fryeburg, Maine.

Margaret (Killebrew) Barton is back on the campus, an assistant in the De- partment of Chemistry, "Bruce, my hus- band, came home last summer after a 10- months trip with the Merchant Marines. I went to New Orleans to meet him, and we celebrated July 4 together. It was a big reunion, you can guess. I am sure the whole campus would have been jeal- ous if they had seen me escorted around by Seven Merchant Marine officers — all handsome! You girls who keep saying you are coming back for a visit — hurry up. and be sure to make that long climb to the third floor of Science Building to see me."

Doris (Murphj McNcely writes from Gastonia that "last fall was the first one in seven years that I was not on the campus for the opening of school. And my pride does suffer a little, since you seem to be getting along so beautifully without me! But don't think I have any lighter schedule now. James and I finally found an apartment here — two whole rooms! So I am now both teacher and pupil in the housekeeping course. And — for activity between meal hours — I have been teaching for two months at the North Carolina Orthopoedic Hospital School — math for the high school pa- tients, and music for everybody. The children are most appreciative. The ma- jority of them arc really eager for their bedside lessons. The work is unusually interesting for that resaon. but although I am so busy. 1 gladly take time out when the NEWS comes to read it from cover to cover: so rush it to me. "

Gwyndola Pierce is teaching Spanish at Mars Hill College, having gone to this position from teaching the same subject in the Shelby High School, "My major in college was history, and perhaps that is still my favorite subject: but I like Spanish very much. The relationship with the students and the friendliness and fellowship which prcvaU in this college are really wonderful. Last summer I went to New York City, lived with a family in downtown New York, and studied at Columbia University. But I have to admit that I did more sightseeing than I did studying! I enjoyed seeing any number of Woman's College alumnae who were there studving or working."

Joan Weil writes from New York City that she spent the greater part of last summer "between our summer cottage on a lake in up-state New York and the beach at home. In August I went to Aberdeen. N. C for a week, and while there was a bridesmaid in the wedding of one of my classmates — Mary Spencer Harrington. Right now I am sharing an apartment in New York City with Dor's Lewin '45, and another girl in New York, and am expecting to do styling work for fashion photographers — the kind of wcrk which I did last year and liked very much.

LOOKING FORWARD .

I do not let remorse over the hap- penings of the past cast a shadow over today. It is true that if I were able to relive certain experiences I might act differently, for certainly I should have the benefit of the understanding I have gained in the meantime. But to re- proach myself now or to let a feehng of sadness remain in my heart can in no way contribute to the past, which is gone, nor can it help me to meet present experiences.

The word I did not say, the thing I did not do, the understanding I did not possess at some time in the past may

NOT BACKWARD

cause me to have feelings of regret now, but the very fact that I feel re- gret now shows I have grown in un- derstanding, that I have developed a greater capacity for thinking, speak- ing, and acting wisely and lovingly. The feeling of regret or self-reproach vanishes when I bless the memories of the past as they come to mind and have the courage to let them go now. As I face today with a free and happy heart I shall be able to meet present experiences so well that there will be no cause for future regret.

Florence Hoffman, advertising depart- ment, a Boston. Mass., department store.

Margaret Hoffman, secretary. Carter Fabrics Corporation. Greensboro. "July and August last were really gay months for me, for I spent them in New York City, where I had a grand job with Vick Chemical Company. New York is a wonderful town to have an exciting time in, if you can find a place to live. I couldn't. And so back home again to Greensboro, and a job here that I like very, very much. In New York I lived in an apartment with two 1945 W.C. graduates — Jean Glenn. secretary at Seaforth Products in Rockefeller Center, and Gw'en Pierce, w^ho was doing gradu- ate work in Columbia University. But alas and alack, as I have said, our lease was up the last of August, and there wasn't another thing to be found. I was forced to make a 'sentimental journey'

below the Mason and Dixon Line. Liv- ing at home, enjoying my job here and taking in some good old football games and college dances console me a lot for missing out in New York."

DEVOE PAINTS

Featuring the 2-COAT SYSTEM

This Devoe 2-Coat System doesn't trv to saddle or shirk. There arc two definite jobs for outside paint to do. and Devoe does them. Each coat does its specific work. The first coat locks the pores of the wood like iron, seals it against sucking up life-giving oils. The second coat is built to laugh off ultra-violet sun rays and weather, still sparkles after several years.
