Barnard Bulletin announces publication semiyearly during the college year, except vacation and examination periods, issued by the Students at Barnard College in the interests of the Undergraduate Association.
The piece addresses upperclass students at Freshman Day urging a return to roving inquiry and open-minded exploration. It criticizes rigid political clubs and the search for fixed ideologies as worsening student unrest and urges honest inquiry as the path to stability.
A letter to the editor criticizes the National Youth Administration for offering meager grants of 6 to 15 dollars a month, insufficient funds and coverage. It contrasts with the American Youth Congress proposal of a 25 dollar minimum and calls for widespread endorsements and tax funding.
Four cafeteria workers at Teachers College have been locked out for joining a union. Workers with 13, 9, 9, and 8 years at the campus cafeteria faced layoff after demanding closed shop or better conditions. Union delegates sought talks, but Miss Reed offered no specific case and refused. Pickets urged student support and boycotts to defend workers’ rights.
A satirical Barnard bulletin outlines freshman customs at Columbia and Barnard. It doles witty portraits of dorm life and hints at Greek Games, teas, dances, clubs, and campus rituals, urging newcomers to join glee clubs, choirs, and student publications while meeting Columbia friends.
All students interested in Bulletin membership are invited to attend a tea to be given Tuesday October 8 in the Bulletin office.
Broadway season opens with At Home Abroad by Shubert. A mix of sketches and musical numbers led by Beatrice Lillie. Vincente Minnelli praised for set design. Mixed reception notes strong moments but overall mediocre, with Lillie carrying much of the show.
This Columbia Pictures release follows the familiar breezy style of It Happened One Night with a polished cast led by Claudette Colbert. Melvyn Douglas is captured as the officious boss and the plot centers on a secretary who marries him to gain a husband, with witty dialogue and amusing situations carrying the film through a not wholly original setup.
