Published semi weekly throughout the college year by students at Barnard College for the Undergraduate Associations. The note indicates publication rhythm and organizational ties within Barnard.
Editorial argues that Barnard students are pursuing anti armament action despite cynics. It contrasts historic student activism with today and defends earnest idealism against sophisticated apathy. The piece cites Edna Ferber’s label and urges honest enthusiasm as a guiding course.
Students are urged to attend a Tuesday assembly on October 6 as the temporary committee appointed by Student Council seeks a plan for disseminating disarmament information. Two proposals remain: create a New International Relations Club with adviser Miss Jones of the Carnegie Endowment, or have the Barnard Social Sciences Forum lead the campaign.
The Somerset theatre review dismisses The Breadwinner as a shallow vehicle for a theme. It argues Maugham sacrifices character to prove a point with boring young and middle aged leads and only A. E. Matthews offering any real appeal. The piece criticizes dialogue, pacing, and a diagram like structure.
The Forum notes appreciation from the Student Council to the administration for redecorating and enlarging the smoking room on the third floor of Barnard Hall. The Barnard Quarterly office and smoking room were combined, and the religious and philanthropic room given to the Bayard Quarterly Staff. A new study hall in Milbank Hall basement was redecorated and furnished to aid student study. Frances M. Smith signs the note.
The Wigs and Cues group schedules a Monday October 5 tryout in Brinckerhoff Theatre from noon to 1 pm for freshmen and transfers. Openings exist for acting, business, staging, and publicity roles as the executive board outlines plans for the year's work.
The Sophomores of the class of 1934 completed their officer slate at a Wednesday meeting. Jean Mac Dougall was elected song and cheerleader Esther Merrill named Mysteries Chairman and Margherita Sylvester Historian for the current year. Sylvester begins a second year as historian while Mac Dougall and Merrill assume their posts for the first time. The offices were reallocated after Spring elections when initial holders became ineligible.
Luncheons resume under Professor B Prenez with Societe Francaise members eligible. Applicants to interview in Milbank Hall room 116 from Oct 1 to Oct 6 between 12 and 12 30 daily. Luncheons set for Wednesdays and Fridays at Hewitt Hall dining room noon.
