Barnard College student publication issued for the Undergraduate Association. Adele Hagland class of 1937 featured in the issue. Published semi weekly during the college year with standard postal notice indicates second class matter filing in New York.
A set of editorials from Carnegie, Washington University, Wilson, and Gaucher discuss student autonomy and curricula. Authors critique excessive college supervision, advocate for time for study, and urge pacifist but radical-avoidant attitudes in student bodies. They call for a clearer peace program and respect for American ideals amid campus movements.
Readers propose a theatre with acoustics and a hockey field as top priorities. Others call for a conservatory level, squash court, recreation rooms, multiple smoking rooms, elevators, offices for Barnard publications, and various study and meeting spaces, all aimed at enhancing campus life.
Barnard students discuss the Wigs and Cues spring show and defend the dramatic society’s choices. The writer praises Corpus Delicti and Benito, critiques Good Sante Anne, calls for stronger supporting roles, and urges continued exploration of dramatic values despite mixed reception.
A theatre review condemns Mulatto as disreputable in setting and execution while audience laughter erupts at adulterous references. The piece recalls a past outburst defending Southern honor and notes the play’s long run suggests financial persistence despite criticism.
John Bovingdon presents portraits of a Changing World focusing on Russia and Germany. He uses only his voice and minimal movement, aided by lighting, with prologues shaping each piece and culminating in tense, panicked scenes such as The Underground Printer. He envisions a future for this dramatic pantomime form.
The theatre division announces a week of evening concerts from May 3 to May 10 at the Manhattan on Broadway and 53rd Street. Features include a May 3 concert by Aainon orchestra, a Wednesday string event, and a teaching methods demonstration with results shown Saturday. Tickets are offered at nominal WPA prices.
