Chaff explains a social trick to feel superior by asking what others know or have been doing. An experimenter sought superiority by biting horses and kicking police but received the reply nothing much, prompting the other to describe lunch.
The Barnard Bulletin names its editor in chief and business, managing, and supervising editors. The roles oversee daily newsroom operations and guide the publication's coverage approach and tone.
In response to a letter criticizing last issue's Query column, The Editor argues that coyness and quips fail to address grave wartime questions. It condemns two seniors who dismiss the discussions and urges more Barnard students to participate in forums to seriously confront the era's problems. It calls for enlightened engagement rather than silence.
The Youth Congress Citizenship Institute in Washington last week drew wide publicity over charges of Communist membership. Barnard delegates defend the organization as a meeting ground for rural and urban youths, colleges, religious and health groups, unions and political groups to discuss problems and plan improvements. The Congress rejects expulsions and upholds tolerance and civil rights while pursuing jobs and education programs for America's youth.
The text analyzes the phrase Hello there and how it conveys inferiority. It argues that the word there signals condescension independent of whether a name is known or forgotten. Even when addressing Alphonse the effect persists, and a dismissive reply only reinforces perceived inferiority.
The piece outlines quiet strategies to feel superior, such as refraining from talking, humbing, or drumming, and probing others by asking for repetition to appear thoughtful. It advises using approvals and nudges like “What’s good about it?” to unsettle the other person and claims these methods work on us. It ends with a call to contribute to community chest and be superior.
A collection of reader views debates a possible third four year term for Roosevelt amid war fears and constitutional concerns. Opinions vary from support during wartime to strict opposition citing democracy precedent and potential dictatorship risks.
A reviewer at the Museum of Modern Art guides readers to vote on a display titled Ancient on Second, Moderns on First. The piece invites attendees to judge masters from Verrocchio to Gauguin, with humorous notes on Titans and Botticelli, and ends by noting age limits aren’t asked.
A breezy assessment finds the Budapest setting largely cosmetic with American stars James Stewart Frank Morgan and Margaret Sullivan delivering mild performances. The film unfolds a familiar boy meets girl plot in a simple shop milieu and aims for relaxed entertainment over grand tragedy.
A 1940s film review notes the front page reporters Hildy Johnson and Miss Russell bring wit and drama to the remake His Girl Friday. The piece contrasts masculine journalism with a romantic twist and highlights editors, marriages, and sensational coverage of an attempted execution.
The Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo returns to New York for a two week spring season at the Metropolitan Opera House starting March 26. The West tour continues as the company adds to its launch repertory with works including Dali and others, plus revivals of various ballets.
