EDITORIAL

A L R

Matrimon)' and a College EducationThe first lew weeks of .school everyone was fired with the de-

sire for a college education. They knew that not only did a coUegeeducation mean acquiring knowledge that would be put to futureuse and a kind of insurance policy against the future, but it meantacquiring a broader outlook and a mind more receptive to new ideas.But now that about Jour- months have passed, filled with tests andpapers that all seem to come at once. some people have begun towonder about the real value of a college education, especially for thegirl who plans to make housekeeping and raising a family hercareer.

Most everyone will agree that the girl who desires a career inthe business world needs a college degree. Today a B.A. or B. S. isthe minimum requirement for any kind of a good job that allows fora considerable degree of advancement. The first question asked bymost employment offices is, "Do you have a college degree?"

The question on which the most discussion arises is the value of acollege education to the girl who plans to make marriage her career.A college degree for this girl is a form of insurance, for the time maycome when her husband is unable to provide an income, eitherthrough physical injuries, prolonged sickness, or death. -The girl whois forced to work at this time in order to provide for herself and herchildren will find that a college degree is a necessity for obtaining agood paying job. A college degree is also important if one desiresalso to pursue such outside interests as social work.It must be realized, however, that the mere possession of a col-

lege degree is not an open sesame for a good job; the possessionof a college degree is usually merely a minimum requirement formost jobs with a future.

ot only is a college education a kind of insurance policy againstthe future for a girl who plans to make marriage her career, but itprepares for marriage and raising a family. One would not think ofbecoming a mechanic, a salesman, or a machine operator withouttraining himself first for the job. It is just as Important to prepareoneself for being a good parent by knowing what methods of raisingchildren have been proven scientifically to have the best results andwhat are the best methods of child care and child nutrition. Knowl-edge of family relationships, cooking, and a knowledge of whatmakes people behave the way they do is also important in preparingfor marriage.

In the study of the sciences one not only learns valuable informa-tion but one learns to think objectively. Courses in economics makea girl more able to understand intelligently her husband's business,and problems in making a living. English, phiJosophy, and the lan-guages teach one to be more broad·minded and to see more ..th'an oneside of a question-all of which is very important in marriage. Thestudy",f history and government make one able to intelligently dis-cuss politics; whereas the study of art and music makes one moreable to appreciate intelligently these in all forms of entertainment.Just the experience of living in a college community where onelearns to give and take is in itself a preparation for marriage.

For the girl planning a career of marriage and raising a familya ollege education is important. It provides a kind of insuranceagainst the future time when a good job may be-a necessity. It alsoprovides knowledge 'which, if utilized, can make marriage a muchhappier relationship, and raise the children of such a marriage tobe healthy and happy,-J. W, B.

Better Manners at LastDear Editor:I was happy to note last Friday

evening that the uninhibited re-actions of the students to theModern Art Movies featuring oldstars, or, for that matter, to mov-ies which have been brought oncampus by student organizations,were greatly restrained and thebehavior was that which could beattributed to a mature group ofpeople. At the last movie, Ca-mille, there was happily very lit-tle of the tittering and jeeringwhich has pervaded the audienceat Connecticut college, duringthis series of movies.We have at last realized that

adult behavior makes any moviemore enjoyable for all who at-tend; students, faculty and towns-people. The stir which followedthe showing of Camille was proofthat people for once had had achance to really concentrate onwhat they were seeing. Thankyou. A Member of '50

ment on the discouraging attitudeof the majority of/the audienc!e-viewing the USSA sponsored mov·ie Blockade-who refused to un·derstand anything further thanthe romance, and who would notlook any deeper than to criticizethe technical p'oduction.The movie was produced to

bring out a moral. This lporal,however, was overlooked by manyand was ridiculed by the rest. Allthat remained in the minds of theaudience was "It was a good mQ-vie~but what a melodramaticending!"If we can nd longer preach ef·

leg t it f see!uary 19 the oppor urn y 0 seeingJ M. Synge's rarely producedDeirdre of the Sorr~ws, the Ad-need Play Production class un-~:r the direction of MargaretFarnsworth d~monstrated. theunique and mvaluaqle function ofsuch a group.Here is a play of great poeticcharm and imagi~ative a?p~al,et obviously defymg convincIngYresentation on a girls' collegePampus because of the cast of eel~·c heroes with whose colossalJride and passions it deals. Yet~hen this small group, franklyexperimental in approach, makesa study of the play, it. brings tous not only a sense of Its powerbut some appreciation of theachievement of the, Irish Renais-sance and even ·a hmt of the bar-baric splendor of the early Celticlegends.Sincere ActingFrom this positive approach,then we may commend Mary At-kin 'Who now has a varied list ofrol~s to her credit, for catching areal spark of the great'" Fergus,who came "to set fire to theworld." Lida Treskunoff gave usa dignified and sadde~ed High

King, and Emily Hallowell playedth.e lover Naisl with sincerity andWIth many effective moments.

It was Deirdre's play, howeveras never before. With real sensi-tivity and pariseworthy maturity,Emmy Lou Walsh played the her-oine with all her elusive charmand her grandeur first in defyingfate for love and later in submit-ting to the innevitable. RobertaTrager was also outstanding ininterpreting Lavarcham, that"great wonder for jogging backand forward through the world,"who,knew past and future, andcould inclUde in her broad sympa-thies both Conchubor and Deirdre.

Portrays Fatalistic PhilosophyWisely, however, this produc-

tion stressed the lyricism of theplay, and it was therefore pri-marily successfUl in conveyingboth the tragic emotions and dom·inant fatalistic philosophy. Thegirl whdt loves for seven years al-ways knowing that her love must"bring destruction on the world,"the aged king who "waits a longwhile on the throne of Ulster,"the lover who foresees the daywhen love will weaken, the war-rior who is torn at the crisis be-tween loyalty to his heroic broth-ers and to his beloved-all thesestrong personalities in the throesof conftict were vividly realized,Behind it all, however, from the

pagan wedding ritual to the keen-ing by Na'isi's grave, the elegiacnote was present. The scene withthe three ~onesome people by thenew made grave was movingand the simple but devastatingstatement of the play'S philoso-phy lingers in OU1' minds, "There'sno safe place on the ridge of theworld."

Itcertainly was not designed to getaway from our one-slded collegeexistence; the atmosphere IS lessattractive and imaginative thanthat of a hospital waiting room.Since the Snack Shop was

planned for our recreation and reolaxation, why can't the college au-thorize a student-sponsored proj-ect for alleviating the utter bare-ness of the walls? A good muralwould probably contribute themost life and interest; with a
