Barnard Bulletin issued semi weekly during the college year by Barnard College students for the Undergraduate Association. It carries standard postal disclaimers with October 19 1928 entry date and Post Office at New York address. Subscriptions are $3.00 yearly with 10 cent single copies.
Cornell students from Ithaca urged Barnard and other women’s colleges to mobilize 15,000 students for farm work in New York. Governor Lehmann warned of a 45,000 labor shortage as farmers register for wartime labor, sparking calls for volunteer and paid summer positions despite Barnard’s reluctance. Cornell protested a postponed state conference, aiming to organize by late May and secure willing Barnard participation.
Barnard alumnae actively join wartime volunteer efforts and defense industries. Nancy Chapman, a senior with drafting training, is offered as apprentice engineer by Grumman in Beth Page. Women staff air raid wards, Red Cross, AWVS, and work across Washington and New York Civilian Defense offices. Herawati Latip and Marcia Freeman lead in defense roles, while Aline McMahon supports the Stage Door Canteen.
Eleanor Streichler reports on immediate mobilization of city youth to ease farm labor shortages as the Volunteer Land Corps signs up 600 high school and college students for four months of work on Vermont farms. The program aims to unite city and country and support postwar food production efforts.
The Dance Players in New York staged The Man From Midian about Moses with Wolpe scores and Loring choreography. Eugene Loring as Moses Janet Reed as Miriam Michael Kidd as Aaron deliver a powerful portrayal alongside a Harlequin and a cowboy in a program praised for costumes lighting and staging.
Eugene Loring, once on Broadway as Owen Webster in The Beautiful People, now leads the Dance Players as director and choreographer. A Milwaukee native who studied at the American School of Ballet, he rose from local theater to New York to star in The Great American Goof and gain notice for his fusion of ballet with modern dance.
Amy Zasuly argues the rally last Thursday framed the western front as a symbol of a growing need for a psychological offensive. Washington officials change Defense Bonds to War Savings Bonds signaling a shifting attitude, while urging civilians to adopt an offensive mindset and mobilize against indifference among Barnard and Columbia students.
