CONNECTICUT .UPSLet's JJix the Mixed HOILses!

An Editorial"what do you think of the system of mixed

houses?" \Ve had a definite purpose in asking thisquestion in ''What Do You Think" this week. Wefigured that it was about time that the commentsconcerning this subject be brought out of the bullsession and into the open. Why? Because we feelsomething should be done about it.The answers in the column, while they are not

an over-all representation of the entire studentbody, show a decided desire for change in all buttwo cases. Under the present set-up some studentsfeel that small groups are separated from theirown class and its activities and that the freshmenfeel lost when sprinkled among the upper classes.Others say this mixing promotes goodwill amongthe classes.We wonder. Can goodwill really be promoted

when freshmen are thrust into houses where well-defined and closely-knit groups have already beenformed? Is there the feeling of integration whichwas supposed to arise from this plan?

Free SpeechTo the Editor:

Long before our mid-year exams which arenow three weeks gone, we voted in Amalgamationto have a soup meal once a week.With my feeble knowledge of parliamentary

law, I understood that the motion was passed inthe affirmative and therefore was ready to be putinto effect. The object was to send much-neededmoney to the starving children in Europe.

Many weeks have gone by. No soup meal hasbeen given, no money has been sent to Europe (toour knowledge) and nothing has resulted but alot of foolish bickering. Let's get the money andsend it to Europe. The how is not the issue. Thepoint is: LET'S GET THE MONEY AND SENDIT TO THE STARVING CffiLDREN.

Sincerely,Estelle Parsons '49

We realize that there is a predominance offreshmen in the college roll call, and that there areoften a few rooms left empty in the upper classdorms. It is therefore quite obvious that the dormscannot be filled with members of only one class.But has the problem been solved?

The set-up at Smith college could be a betteranswer. Each house on that campus is composedof an almost equal number of all four classes. In-coming freshmen are asked to list their first threechoices of houses. Their houses are not all of the\ same vintage, yet the students do not object to liv-ing in even the oldest building. As a matter of fact,they are perfectly content to spend their entirefour years in the same house.

This would not be necessary at Connecticut.We could put room-drawing on an all-college basisand move from year to year if necessary.

In this way, and in this way alone, we wouldbe able to abolish "dorm minorities" and give riseto the integration and all-college spirit which is sonecessary on this campus.

Dear Editor,

What promised to be an almost vicious brawllast Monday night with three old and weary j un-Jors taking a terrific beating from the amassedforces of Plant house resolved itself as the sopho-,mores willingly and cheerfully returned to Hark-ness to perform their assigned duties. Thus ~he in-cident was characterized on the part of both sophsand juniors by the mutual recognition that MascotHunt is fun, fair, and invariably funny without aknock-out, drag-out fight.

Hail to the class of '48 and their spirit of fairplay, and may their third clue-but not too quick-ly! Harkness Junior

We Must Take Strong StandAnd ~MakeFranco Get Out'by Mike KraemerFrom the fray of the devastat-

ing world battle against theforces of Fascism, Franco's fas-cistic regime in Spain hasemerged unscathed. Ever sincethe beginning of this dictatorship,there have been individuals andgroups who have protested its ex-istence-:--some by words, othersby action. Unfortunately, this op-position did not have the strengthor force required to break Fran-co's grip in Spain. ,The oppositionwas at a disadvantage in that itsefforts lacked sufficien t power.There was also another factorthat blocked the opposition's ef-forts-individuals or groups whofor one reason or another aresympathetic to the cause andhave resisted all efforts to elimi-nate Franco. I

Last week France's admirableactions gave renewed hope forthe overthrow of one of the re-maining champions of Fascism.Her decisive action came as are·sult of the execution of ten Span·ish RepUblican leaders who hadbeen active il\ the French Resist.ence m9vemeJlt. France closedthe Pyrenees border and haltedeconomic exchange between thetwo countries.America's response to France's

action has been termed a "middleof the road" reaction. It is neith-er harsh enough to effect thebreak that France desires normild enough to meet the desiresof G~eat Britain. In brief, theAmerlcan proposal as issued bythe State department was as fol-lows:1. A formal announcement de-

tailing Franco's aid to the Axisand calling on him to get out.2. A declaration that the three

governments want an interimgovernment established that willpave the way for free democraticelections.3. A statement that despite

CCRadio Will GiveMusical Series byMiss Martha Alter

Of Cabbages and Thingsby Bettsey l\lcKey '47

Starting tonight, March 6 at7 :30, Connecticut college radiowill present Martha Alter, com-poser-pianist and member of thedepartment of music. This is thefirst of a series of four broadcastsfeaturing her own compositionsand those of Claude Debussy,French impressionist composer.From her own music, Miss Al-

ter will give the first performanceof two groups of piano pieceswritten last summer at TuscaroraFarm as well as the complete Mu-sic of the Stratosphere composedlast winter for Connecticut Col-lege Dance group. From Debus-sy's music she will play six Pre-ludes and Reftets dans l'eau.This evening's program con-sists of "Brouillards" and "LescoUines d'Anacapri" by Debussyand Four Lyric Moods: BlueRain, Fog-drenched, Gray Dayand Ennui by Martha Alter.Miss Alter's second program -on

March 13 will include her Rondofrom Sonata No. 3 (1941) andtwo works by Debussy: "Les sonset les parfums tournent dans 1'.air du sotr" (Baudelaire) and"Reflets dans I'eau."

'there comes a time io everyblithe young soul's life when sheis questioned about the Future(capitalized, please, and to be ob-served with a dewy, droolingglance). Of course, there are al-ways those who dismiss somepoor struggler's future with a cal-lous "She hasn't any!", but wecan dismiss these blights on thesocial escutcheon by saying thatthey probably haven't any, either,and are just being vindictive.With those people who are

prone to burble about the Future,the next catch phrase is inevit-ably a fatuous, "And what betterplace than college, hmmm?" Youall know how it goes, the trite oldtwaddle. But since we are at col-lege while the provocative ques-tion is put, let us get on with thetwaddJe.Investigation proves beyond

the shadow of a doubt that amongus there are two main approachesto the dreadnaught question ofthe Future. The first approachfinds its exponents among thosewho trudge from the hallowedhans armed with books; the ad-

vocates of the second, skip lightlythrough the peerless portalsarmed with diamonds (third fin-ger left you-know-what}.Lest you feel that I am beingtoo arbitrary in this matter, it issignificant to note in this connec-tion that only the other day I ranacross five juniors on campussinging, 'I wanna get married,".while, as soon as my diamonddazzled eyes had reaccustomedthemselves to the dull light of thesun, I stumbled against a bespec-tacled trio of seniors, chanting,"Books, books-the pen is mighti-er than the rolling pin-All thethinkers say so!"

If this is not sufficient proof,you will find that in some roomsthere are cookbooks and in otherstextbooks, while the clarion callwhich lures all dutiful little col-lege women toward the Future is"The Kitchen . ~. or The Career?"

According to the report,there are ample recreational fa-cilities for young and old and spa-cious grounds surrounding thebuildings.Physical and Socia] NeedsEqually as important as the

provision for physical and socialneeds of your family is the con-sideration of features of thehouse which will contribute to thesmoothness of operation of your I~============~household-the orientation and ~coordination of rooms, the ease ofcirculation throughout the house.the convenience and adequacy ofwork areas. 'These. amongst other desirable

details of construction, will re-duce the time and effort involvedin the accomplishment of the rou-tines of homemaking.

If you do find yourself in amakeshift situation for a time,here is the chance for a systemat-ic study of architectural features,good or inferior, which will influ-ence your ultimate choice. In-stead of marking time, make it aperiod of opportunity.

by Miss ~fiIdred BurdettMost of you who are on the eve

of establishing homes of yourown are deeply concerned withthe problem of finding that castlein the air about which you havedreamed for a long time. If youhave studied housing reports orhave even glanced at the daily pa-pers, your first impulse may be tohitch your covered wagon to astar and set out for the greatopen spaces on the moon. Undersober second thought you willkeep your feet on the ground, forhere the prospects, however dark,are brighter than those on otherplanets.

It may be expedient to acceptwhatever shelter is available, al-though this house may have noresemblance to the one which youanticipated entering as a bride.The experience of managing yourhousehold under less desirablecircumstances may prove to beexceedingly fruitful in planningfor your permanent home. Dur-ing this interim, plans may bemade more intelligently tor thefuture ownership or rental of thetype of dwelling which will be areal satisfaction to you and yourfamily.Practical PlanningBe mindful that the functional

aspects of housing are frequentlysacrificed for the aesthetic. Wom-en particularly are criticized fortheir selection of various house-hold commodities on the basis oftheir visual appeal. This criticismmay hold true also when a styleof architecture is chosen which is _beautiful but is highly impracti-cal so far as efficiency in home-making is concerned.The primary function of the

house is to fulfill the basic re-quirements of your own family.As Hilda Smith, former head ofthe Federal Public Housing Au-thority, once said, "Housing ispeople." Too often there is evi-dence of the lack of considerationof family requirements in the r;:;;::;;;;::;;;;::;;;;::;;;;::;;;;::;;;;::;;;;::;;;;::;;;;::;;;;::;;;;::;;;:;;;;;completed structure. A recentstatement by the Hartford Hous-ing authority emphasizes furtherthe need for "greater livability"in future homes-additional playspace for children, larger 'livingrooms, and expansion of storagespace in all units.Evidence, in one quarter at

least, of attention to the need 101'greater livability appears in thecity of Boston's first post-war lowrental project. The plan for thishousing development is based up-on a so-called "accurate pre-ap-

of formality and distance that -==============one thinks of as being proper to a _Queen. Margaret Healy allowedmore feeling to enter her dia-logue: her voice has a warmthand a quality peculiarly fitted toexpress the pathos that was re-quired of her role. Gloria Frostas TaIthyhius played the part ofthe sympathetic conqueror. Herspeeches clearly emphasized thetheme of the play, and mademore impressive the awfulness ofwar.Director PraisedThe pageantry, the acting, and

the theme all helped to make theperformance a moving one, andone which fully deserved the re-ward which it received. NancyFaulkner is to be especially com-mended for her able direction ofthe play; all the praise that hashere been given the performanceimplies a praise of the direction.For their Competitive play the

freshmen chose a scene from thelast act of Thornton Wilder's OurTown. The play itself is a tour deforce, and each performance of itcalls for considerable ingenuity.The freshmen responded withease. They played out their roleson an empty stage, and succeededin making Grovers Corners avery real place. The funeral pro-cession was especially well dl-rected: the blind and living hud-dled together in a dark corn~r un-der a mass of black umbrellas,while the wise dead sat quietly byunder a clear and open light.Sensitive PortrayalsBarbara Bohman as the stage

manager gave a remarkably goodperformance. She walked aboutthe stage easily and naturally,her speech had a correct leisure-liness, and her timing of wordand gesture was excellent. MurielPhipps as Emily played well adifficult role. Her movement waslight and graceful, and sheshowed an ability to convey agood deal of feeling. Actually allthe characters were well played,and played with a fine sense ofthe whole scene. All I carl do hereis to commend especially, fromamong the minor Characters, theperformances of Victoria Simes,Georgia Risk, Bobby Miller, andSharon McLean. The parts playedby Julienne Shinn and Jan Coak-ley were less perfectly fitted intothe whole, the bitterness of Si-mon., Stimson being somewhatoveremphasized, and the naturalbehavior of Mrs, Webb beingslightly' distorted by the sharpcutting of the play. But if theseare faults, they are the faults ofthe play, not of thy: actors.The direction of Estelle Par-

sons was certainly able and cor.recto Her direction gave the scenemovement, tone, and style. Fromthe class of 1949, I think we mayexpect many good things.
