Great secrecy surrounds the his-tronic endeavors that have kept theauditorium busily humming thispast week. This secrecy increasesspeculation about the senior andsophomore competitive plays,which will be presented April 25,Friday evening, in the Auditorium.As the competirives are a loved tra-dition, it is fitting that we knowmore about them. Competitivcswere innovated ill 1926, and be-came an established tradition ofWig and Candle.The plays are entirely a student

undertaking: selected, directed andproduced by students, to be pre-sen ted to the student body and fac-ulty. Three judges are chosen bya board of faculty members, whojudge the plays according to thechoice of play, acting, and setting,with emphasis upon t.he actingphase. In the fourteen years thatcompetitives have been in existence,the seniors have won seven times,the juniors once, sophomores andfreshmen three times apiece.The purpose of this interclass

competition is to give more gir.lsthe opportunity to take part 1I1

dramatic work, and to bring outabilities along individual lines,Girls get acquainted with themanual branches of stagework aswell as the intellectual and <Esthet-IC.These plays promote a better

understanding and appreciation ofthe theatre among the students.

The War Of Pros And ConsA second civil war is taking place in the United

States; a war in which the nation is as strongly di-vided as it was in the Civil War of the middle of thelast century. So far, the present civil war has beenonly one of words and of the conflict of ideas, andhas not as yet reached a stage of threatening militaryviolence within the nation. If it continues to accel-erate as rapidly as it has in the past few months,however, no one can predict what the terrible resultmay be.

The people of the United States are divided asto their opinion on what our role in the present warshould be. One group is violently opposed to ourparticipation, in any form, in the world turmoil, ex-cept, perhaps, in the case of actual invasion of our -/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~shores. This faction, whose views are reflected by (jsuch organizations as the America First Committee,believes that we owe nothing to Great Britain; thatwe can do nothing in the way of bringing about ademocratic victory by participating; and that thestruggle is in no way our responsibility.

The other faction, which believes that we mustgive all the aid we can, either short of war or byactual military participation if the need for it con-tinues and we can become prepared, is strong in itsconvicton that, if Hitler wins the war, democraticideas and humanism will be extinguished for a longtime to come. This group, represented by organiza-tions such as the William Allen White Committee,contends that no dictatorship has ever survived a lostwar, and that the only possible way in which theregime of mechanized military ideas and mental andphysical enslavement of the people can be over-thrown is by complete military defeat. And thisgroup has the precedents of history behind it withsuch examples as Napoleon and Alexander theGreat.

We all know what the issues are between thesetwo groups. All of us on campus are aware of thedivision, because the conflict of ideas is present hereas strongly as it is throughout the entire UnitedStates, and is reflected in representative campusgroups. We are all aware that it is becoming moredifficult to discuss the issues calmly. Emotionalismhas entered in, and such discussions are highly in-cendiary. We find ourselves involved accusing thoseof the opposite view being Fascists, and Appeasers,War Mongers, and Militarists. We do not begin to

realize the danger that is inherentin this situation. True enough,there was some of this feeling pres-ent before our entrance into thefirst World War, but not to thedegree which we now find it.American democracy is being at-tacked from all sides. internally, byits own members and advocates.Everyone thinks he knows what isbest for preserving democraticideas, and in trying to promote hisown views, does not realize thatby strengthening the conflict, he isfurther endangering the founda-tions of our government.Regardless of which side we

align ourselves with on the subjectof this war, we must stop "to thinkof something even more funda-mental, "namely, that of weldingthe United States together again.We cannot "do anything positive inany direction so long as we are atwar internally. We need more pos-itive patriotism-more effort to-ward making the United Statesreally united within, or else weshall find ourselves completely un-

prepared for an attack from with-out, just as we are unprepared forthe double-edged attack which weare now experiencing and contrib-uting to from within.

FREE SPEECH(The Editors of the News do not hold themselves

responsible for the opinions expressed in this column. Inorder to insure the validity of this column as an organfor the expression of honest opinion, the editor mustknow the names of contributors.}

Dear Editor:Where do we go from here? That is a questio

which many people have been ask.ing themselves i:~thinking about our world afte~ this war has ended.In discussions and lectures dunng the week of April27, students will atte.mpt ~o see a plan of POst~warreconstruction that will build a better world for thefuture.

The Vesper ta~k by J?r. Seckman on Sundayevening, April 27, Will consider world reconstructionfrom a religious point of view, followed by a discus-sion in the chapel library. Dr. Lawrence will speakon this theme in the chapel period on Monday, April28, and will lead a. discussion on Monday nightagain in the chapel library. Tuesday brings a talk b;President Blunt in chapel and after dinner studentswill have an opportunity to express their ideas in in-formal get-togethers in each dormitory. The Wed-nesday chapel will be devoted to a student's opinionon this subject .

As vital as intelligent reconstruction is, mostpeople have a very indefinite idea of the action thatwill follow the treaty of peace. The purpose of thisweek of talks and discussion is to help the students ofConnecticut College to work and think more clearlyof the post-war world.

Religious Council.

Dear Editor:Congratulations to whoever wrote the sym-

pathetic article concerning the Hoover Plan. Myinsignificant sentiments are with you. You can callDemocracy undemocratic, the British imperialistic,Hitler a menace to "stop" and pro-Hooverites plaindarn fools, but underneath any governmental struc-ture, any factional or antagonistic feelings we mayhave we are all only human. We're only human,yes, and we require three meals a day to keep chinsup and our outlook bright. 'There's been a lot oftalk lately about our war aims. Everyone agrees, ofcourse, that the Primary aim is to lick Hitler. Andsay we did lick Hitler; then what are our aims? Torestore defeated democracy? All right. Taking thisfor granted then, wouldn't it be easier to restore nor-malty to normal people? Starved and starving na-tions don't care so much what happens to them. To-talitarianism and Democracy seem about the same.Once morale is low, it takes a long time to bring itback. Well then, how about keeping morale high bya little human feeling? Yep. From a strictly per-sonal viewpoint, it seems to me we're going to findpeople a lot better to deal with if we catch 'em in anormal healthy state of mind. It also seems to methat to say the food would never reach the nne na-tions is a rationalistic pessimistic point of view.

ProminentMarenda Prentis Of BostonChosen Alumna Of MonthBy BETTY SHA"K '43

Via telephone I had made ar-rangements for an interview withMarenda Prentis, an alumna ofthe first graduating class in 1919,and now a prominent social work-er in the visiting teachers' profes-sion in Boston.With the help of several bus

drivers 1 arrived at my destination-a small house in New Londonwhere Miss Pre~ltis was ,spendingthe weekend wIth her mother.Miss Prentis herself came to thedoor and graciously ushered me in-to the living room. 1 was struck byher air of quiet dignity and charm.Her greyish-brown hair calmblue eyes, and smartly 'tailoredwool dress added to this first im-pression.Miss Prentis, who has served

on the Board of Trustees for Fiveyears, was well informed on thenew building projects, and natur-ally has watched the college's de-velopment with great interest."How did you happen to join

the first class at Connecticut?" wasmy opening query. Miss Prentispointed out that as she lived inNew London she had heard aboutthe new college that was to beopened in 1915, To pass the timeuntil it opened she took post gradu-ate courses in New London anddid some teaching in the gradeschools. In I9IS she entered withone hundred other students."Over half of us were commut-

ers in those days," Miss Prentissaid. "As for social functions, wewere Quite popular, because thecommuters usually furnished thedates for the rest,"llEverything was in its begin-

ning," she continued. "New lon-don hall served as library, audi~torium, commuters' lunch room,and locker room! As we needed anew organization or club we set itup. The point system developedwhen we realized that one personcould hold only a certain numberof offices. The first year we couldnot have any interclass competitionas there were only freshmen; so wc

She was ciapresident her freshman and senioryears, and has served as presidentof the class of 'J 9 ever since. Inaddition she was on the studentgovernment, and very acrive inhockey, soccer, and basketball. Shemajored in English, raking a min-or In sociology.After graduation she did social

work in New London as visitor -------------for the associated charities. Shegot her masters degree in ed L1ca-tion ar Yale while srudying <lt asettlement house. Later she return-ed. t~ New London as charity com-mISSIoner at the city hall.Since that time she has lived in

the College Settlement in Phila-delphia and at several similarhOLises in Boston. She fecls every-one should have the experience ofstaying at a settlemcnt house.Hyou meet such interesring peo·pie," shc pointed out, "¥ou real-izc the great masses of people thatare living bravely and courageous-lyon very little."Miss Prentis has combincd her

educational training and her socitllwork in a very interesting way.For the past fifteen years she hasbecn the executive secretary of theHome and School Visitors' Associ-ation in Boston. This is the organ-ization that sends .,,·isiting teachersinto the homes to study the indi-vidual background of problemchildren.<fLet me suggest," she said as J

Bonwit Teller Shows SpringClothes At White Plains

S G . 'I' e,try t. COl ge S ,nn, 111 Walling_ford-but all this ~oesn't Comecheaply .. The Old Mill, in South_mgton, IS rustic and attractive, andthe Oakdale Tavern, on the oldBoston Post Roa,d between NewHaven and Meriden, possesses itsown spacious charm.

Curiosity knows no class distinc-tions. So, when Bonwit Telleropened its White Plains storeApril 5, the rain-soaked elite anddripping masses (the elements tooare not class-conscious) Rowed in-to the new building, to see a pre-Easter display of clothes. Out ofthe opposite trenches poured fortha battalion of crisp, efficient salesgirls led by whire-eamationedfloorwalkers. Benveen these twogroups--the explorers and theirguides--dripping on to the newstore's luxuriant rugs stood I.I was shown a biege and blue

domestic tweed-plaid suit with apleated skirt having panels in frontand back to carryon the slenderlines of the long stern jacket. Thewomen's home companions to thissuit were three blouses, all smart-ly tailored and cleverly named:Polly Tucker of raw silk, ThatByron Look of rayon crepe, andLa and Behold of rayon jersey.Next came limp (Scotch for"neat"). It was a grey-blue jersey

Extension ArtCourse Ends;Set For 1942with slanting tucks meeting in

points in the center of the bodicegiving it that military cur. Millionsof unpressed pleats made up theskirt. Gold buttons ran the lengthof the model and a fly-front neck-line plus bracelet length sleevesadded the finishing touches.The smartest date number I saw

was B.T.'s own Long-stemFlounce Dress. It had a black ray-on sheer crepe foundation overwhich were a small panel of rayontaffeta at the hip line and a largeinsertion of the same material com-prising the last ten inches of theskirt. The slender long waist ef-fect was topped by a soft, roundcollar of rayon taffeta.Gogo, daughter of Schiaparelli,

designed a dirndl dress which is theanswer to a college girl's plea forsomething different yet easily pre-served in its pristine glory. Of her-ringbone stripes woven into cottonshambray, the skirt is a pinafore.A gargantuan bow holds the twopocketed skirt in place. A blousecompletes the outfit. A lick of aniron and the dress is as good asnew.The evening clothes were the

piece de resistance on the fashionmenu. I admired a rhumba dresswith red rayon jersey top and shortsleeves. Sixteen ruffles of air spunrayon jersey were sewed on theskirt's net foundation. Gogo hadalso designed a black sheer dinnerdress. It had a pin-tucked, squaremousseline insertion at the front.The long, slender sleeves were tip-ped with a frothy frill. The fittedwaist was encircled by a sheer beltwith a patent leather buckle.And there was the dude ranch

dinner gown of chiffon and crepe.The top was a chiffon shirtwaistwith patch pockets and open neck.The skirt. was in reality very widebut produced a tall, slender illu-sion. Beneath its double-deckerlayers of crepe was a slip of heavytaffeta which added depth to thecolor. -----

On a Wednesday evening, if youhad happened to prowl up to thefourth floor of Bill Hall, youmight have been curious about theactivities of from fifteen to twen-ty smocked and aproned people.Inquiry would have informed youthat these were the dabbling dil-ettantes of Mr. Logan's extensionart course. Among the group, in-formal as only artists can be, youmight have spied Dr. Avery, hid-ing behind a rubber apron and in-dustriously working away at hisetchings. And nearby, Miss Wood,wearing a smock bedaubed withsplashes of paint, stands before hereasel, on which she is working inoils. Both Miss Stanwood andl\!liss Martin, excellent draftsmenthat they arc, are busy in anotherpart of the room drawing still life.pictures. There too are Miss Pond,Miss Miller, Miss Hausman, MissRichardson, and a number of resi-dents of New London and the vi-cinity.According to Dr. Logan, every-

one of us is in some degree an art-ist; for self-expression is the motiv-ation of all artistic creation. Themembers of the science and thephysical education departments, bytheir outstanding enthusiasm forart, show conclusively that in nat-ur-I science and physical trainingthere is a definite correlation withart. The first principles of both artand natural science are order andstructural growth; thus the con-nection. And it is easy to under-stand how from the time of the an-cient Greeks until today the beautyof the human form in action hasinspired great artistry.Mr. Logan has been holding his

extension course for the past fifteenweeks at 7 :30 every Wednesdayevening. As the last meeting of thegroup ended last week, all agreedthat it had been a successful under-taking. The course was primarilyfor recreational purposes, a meet-ing place for those with a commonhobby. Art for art's sake is theirmotto. The classes under the direc-tion of Mr. Logan and offered forthe first time this year will prob-ably be resumed next year.

Hitler's Spring Dr-iveHitler's threat of a spring drive

has become a realization in the pastweek. The German victory in Y 1I-

goslavia and its complete surrendernow leaves 500,000 Nazi troopsfree to proceed into Greece wheregains were made within one hun-dred miles of Athens. In NorthAfrica, German troops have push-ed the British back to the Egyptianfrontier. However, the so-calledBattle of the Mediterranean stillcontinues. It has taken the form ofa pincer movement with Germanysweeping down through the Bal-kans in one direction and acrossNorth Africa in the other direc-tion j aiming to close in on theAllied Greek-English foothold onthe continent and Egypt and thevital Suez Canal. If the Nazi armysucceeds in this objective, the Brit-ish Empire will be virtually cut inh"lf.Both sides are hammering away

with aerial attacks on the respec-tive capitals. The Germans havea slight advantage in having useof French air bases from whichthey can refuel and reload bombs.Adequate defense against the rigorof these attacks is lacking on bothsides.

Russo-Japanese AgreementDiplomatic relations have figur-

ed prominently during the crucialpast week. The neutrality agree-ment between Russia and Japan isan annoying factor and compelsspeculation. Berlin views the pactas an indication of Japanese ag-gression in the Far East that willconcern the United States and thusimpair our sending supplies toEngland. Whether this is an ac-curate interpretation or not, thefact seems apparent that the Jap-anese government is endeavoring toshow England and the UnitedStates that she has the backingnecessary for aggression whenevershe is ready to move.

Convoy Ships For EnglandUpon the matter of our sending

supplies to England, controversyrages over the matter of our war-ships being used to convoy goods toBritain. The danger of such ac-tion involving us in encounter withGerman U-boats is plain to see.However, those favoring this stepargue that the necessity of Britain'sgetting the supplies can only befulfilled if we help in transportingthem across the ocean. A newgroup has been formed called theFight for Freedom Committee, un-der chairmanship of Carter Glassof Virginia. This organization iscomposed of those who want theUnited States to act on the theorythat it is already at war and there-fore must use American ships toconvoy cargoes to England. Ofthe 223 members, many have been

Defense lUeasures TakenOur own defense program pro-

gresses steadily, meeting and solv-ing problems that arise. Thethreatened stoppage in the soft coalproduction industry has beenaverted by a new wage rate but thedeadlock still exists in operators'complaints to the mediation boardabout the increased expenditures.President Roosevelt has indicatedthat he might use the pressure ofhis office to settle the matter. TheAmerican Steel industry also gaveits workers all increased hourlywage rate and the new agency, ofPrice Administration and CivilianSupply, is expected to operate insuch a way that the steel companieswill not absorb part of the wageraise by an increase in prices.

ldeal PicnicWeather ForJunior PromThe month of April did not run

true to form over Junior Promweekend, but instead very politelywithheld any showers for the bene-fit· of those who are always picnic-inclined. From Friday clear up tothe twelve o'clock dead-line Sun-day night gay groups of C.C. stu-dents and their dates made themost of the glorious picnic weath-er. Particularly all Saturday carsstreamed forth from the campus inall directions-some bound forvarious points along the Sound)some for Devil's Hop Yard, andothers for woods and streams inthe northern part of the state.Three groups of 1937 Juniors,

including Marianna Lemon, DotBarlow, Sally Turner, SarahGiou, Louisa Bridge, Lenny Tin-gle, and others, monopolized Dev-iI's Hop Yard for the afternoon.A large grou"p of Thames andEmily Abbey girls ended up atwhat they called an "ideal spot"somewhere - they're not surewhere-along the shore of theConnecticut river. Anyhow theysay that woods, streams, beach,complete with haunted house weresupplied for their exploration.Two large groups of Mary

Harkness Juniors were fortunateenough to have private summerhomes at the shore- at which to es-tablish picnic headquarters. RuthMoulton's cottage near Westerly,Rhode Island, was the scene ofmuch baseball, hamburger, andvocal activity. They played base-ball until Mary Ann Kwis' datephysically incapacitated Loie Bren-. ner by hitting her on the head withone of his powerful ((fly balls."And at Ginnie Little's shanty at

Fenwick (near Saybrook) an ath-letic group (including Babe RuthPilling, Beach-Comber Macpher-son, Slugger Hunt, and Out-field-er Frey) started the morning offwith wading, canoeing and row-boating and spent the entire after-noon playing a seven inning soft-ball game, until the fog came in sothick that the vain girls decidedthey'd better go home and put uptheir hair for the dance.On Friday and Saturday nights

sumptuous dinner parties reignedsupreme at Light House, ElmTree, Colonial, and Norwich Inns,and as a climax to the extra-Promactivities was the terrace breakfastheld by Mary Harkness House onSunday morning. The sun shonedown on the after-Pramers balanc-ing heaping dishes of strawberriesand cups of coffee to the click ofmany cameras. And so, eventhough the weather lingers on, allbut the memories of the weekendare gone.------New Student GovernmentOfficers Installed Today

Miss Cary ContributesBefanti Paintin~ ToFrench ClassroomCan you spare a few minutes

between that 8 and 9 o'clock?Then, step in to 305 Fanning andspend the time admiring MissCary's new contribution. It is apainting of a chapel scene in Brit-tany, showing the beautiful cos-tumes worn by the women of thatprovince.Befanti, the celebrated artist of

Italian descent who has studios inFrance, is the painter of this study,whose history is an interesting one.The canvas was exhibited in theParis Salon held in 1910. Later, itwas sent to the United States to beshown in the International Exhib-ition of the Carnegie Institute atPittsburgh. At the death ofGeorge A. Hearn, art collector,the painting was acquired by MissEsther Cary, professor of French.Miss Cary is at present lending

the tableau to the college. Shehopes her classes will realize itsworth as a valuable example ofmodern French art and will enjoyit. In her own words: "I hope mypicture will contribute somethingto the French atmosphere of theclassroom."When you stop in to view the

painting, notice particularly thatthe frosty pink of the lady's lacyapron is an admirable result achiev-ed by a delicate blending of softhues of grey, green, white, androse. Let your eyes linger on thealtar in the background. See howthe rays of sunlight cast theirbeams on the altar and add depthand warmth to the representation.There is a faint suggestion of can-dIes on the altar and the statues ofthe saints behind it-fading intooblivion. Note, too, how the iri-descent blue of the flower vases onthe left side of the altar seem to beever sparkling. The spiritual ex-pression on the lady of Brittany'sface seems to contain the beauty,charm, warmth, and the exquisite-ness of the Befani painting.
