To Our PresidentEven though the retirement of President Blunt is

still an event of the distant future, we cannot helpexpressing our sincere regrets that such a.n eventmust cOllle to pass. We are all aware that we owemore than we can ever measure, of the spiritual, in-tellectual, and material development of Connecticutcollege to the whole-hearted, untiring efforts of ourbeloved President. In the thirteen years of her presi-dency, the school has grown greater in reputation, 111

beauty, and in size than could be imagined possib.le.Under her careful guidance, we have grown from 111-

fancy to maturity, and thus we continue to grow ev-ery year.

·\Ne wish it were possible here to express thedeep regret which we all feel at this news, but thereare no words for it. We can express, however, ourgreat pride in our President and her immeasurableaccomplishments, and our gratitude to her for hermost important part in making this college one of thefinest (to us, the finest) in the country. She has re-ceived a full measure of recognition, and countlessawards, such as her recent award as one of the out-standing alumnae of the University of Chicago, forher achievements, which are more in number thananyone of us can dare hope to attain. We, the stu-dents of the college to which President Blunt has de-voted all of her energies for thirteen years, can giveher no greater award than our pledge that we shallcontinue to share her pride in the colIege and itsachievements, and our lasting gratitude, devotion,and loyalty, not only throughout the continuance ofher presidency, but forever after.

What Is This "Propaganda"?The old word "propaganda" is getting the beat-

ing of its life these days. It's worked and over-work-ed, used and mis-used. "Gh, that's just a lot ofpropaganda," has become a sort of by-word, a phraseattached arbitrarily to almost any expression, wheth-er of approval or condemnation. For instance, anAmerican film, produced by American citizens,pOinting OUt the evils and horrors of the totalitarianbrute~rnachine is labelled as "propaganda." It is per~haps true that the picture presented is exaggerated insome of its details, that the horror angle is purposelyempha~ized. This distortion is certainly obvious, andin many respects justified, for in all probability no

Mid West Changes OpinionIt is always ,interesting to note

the change of attitude toward war.The Middle West, formerly thestrong hold of isolationism, is grad-ually shifting its sentiments. Thefour states, which were stronglyanti-interventionists, were Michi-gan, Indiana, Wisconsin and Illi-nois. Of these, Wisconsin is theonly one to retain its stand. InMichigan the legislature hereto-fore passing resolutions to remainout of war, has recently passed onecondemning the isolationists. Atthe American Legion Conventionin Milwaukee, both Illinois andIndiana indorsed the interventionpolicy, while Wisconsin still holdsforth on isolationism.

Yes the response to President Blunt's plea forconserva~ion has been excellent. As yet we haven'thad cold enough weather to try ourselves on heatconservation, but if social pressure and co-operati?npl'ove as effective in that respect as they have Withthe "Turn out your lights" campaign, we can bewell pleased with this particular defense effort.

Brazil,less enterprising, is hampered byunsteady politics, bulky undefend~ed areas, poverty, and absence aTcoal to utilize her vast natural re-·ciources.

Inler-Club CouncilGoes Forward WahDefinile PlansInter-club Council announces its

latest plans for the l'c-organizationand rejuvenation of campus clubs.At the meeting held on October17, the council considered the sug-zestions of last week's Student-Faculty Forum meeting, and de-cided upon a definite plan of action.Club presidents have been asked toconsider two questions with theother oAicers of their clubs: first, isthe club scrving any purpose whichis not or could not be handledthrough the department?; and sec-ond} if so} what sort of entrance re-quirements might be set up for fu-ture members?The Inter-club Council has a

definite purpose in asking these twoquestions. If the club i:- serving nopurpose which is not or could notbe handled by the department, itmight well disband for the present,giving students more time to de-,,·ote to defense work. Later on.possibly, when there is a definiteneed and interest, the club will bereorganized with genuine and spon~tancOus enthusiasm. If, on the oth-er hand, the club feels that it has adefinite purpose outside and apartfrom departmental activities, it isfelt that its worth might be im-measurably increased by setting upsome sort of entrance requirement.By this means, smaller, more activegroups will be formed and thertwill be the added incentive of afeeling of honor in achievement.There is nothing u:ntati\'e or

purely theoretical about theseplans. Inter-club Council is deter-mined to carry through its ideasand to effect the reorganization andrejuvenation of college clubs. Thenext meeting of the council is to beheld in two weeks. The date is notyet determined.

"If we have poise, self-control,and maturity, we can prevent thepread of rumors," President Kath-arine Blunt said in her Chapel talkof Tue-dav, October 21.Among the rumor the President

dispelled was that of the Thank. .....giving holidays lasting only oneday. "There was no truth in it.Why did you believe it? Whrdidn't you go to the proper author-ity, the President's or the Dean'soffice, and find out?"There wa a rumor circulating a

year ago that half the fre hmanclass was on probation. Such athing make a number of peoplefrightened, unhappy, and panic-stricken. Another perennial rumoris that the infirmary is too full totake care of any new cases.Tht President continued: "Ru-

mors come faster in times of emer-gency. The seniors remember rightafter the hurricane the stories thatevery hard wind was another hur-ricane. In the paper we read na-tional and international rumorswhich are coming faster now thatthe world is at war."Lastly, there is the rumor,

cropped up again this year, that thegovcrnment is going to take overthe college because of its strategicposition. There is absolutely no in-formation all such a move, so thatis another rumor to forget."\Vhat can we do to stop this

and others from circulating?Laugh at the ones that arc silly,and by all means investigate thoseyou are not sure of. Do not yield tothe dramatic desire to make a goodstory better. We have no secret in-formation to withhold} but we canpass on annoying point~ of view."

M. Reibstein Tells of SummerAt Labor And Social CentersBy Marilyn Sworzyn '43

Learning to understand socialproblems through direct associationwith the people concerned was thepriceless achievement of a summerwell spent by Marion Reibstein'42. Marion managed to squeezeinto one summer four weeks at aspecial social work school in Bos-ton, another four at an Interna-tional Student Service WorkCamp in Pennsylvania, and twoweeks as a trainee of the HudsonShore Labor School.From June IS to July 15 Mari-

on was one of five college juniorsfrom Smith, Wellesley, Bates, Mr.Holyoke and Connecticut that at-tended Junior Month, a special so-cial work course sponsored by theFamily Welfare Society in Boston.Service League sent Marion to see,understand and practice model so-cial work. In Boston Marion andthe girls lived at the Family Wel-fare Society located in one of theworld's most overcrowded slumdistricts. The first two weeks thegirls made extensive field trips tomany model social agencies andhospitals in Boston, and took acourse in introduction to case workunder David W. Haynes, directorof Junior Month.The third week each of the girls

was assigned as an assistant to a

district secretary of the FamilyWelfare Society. After readingcase histories, ~darion was sent OutOn her own to do case work, and towrite a report on her findings. Ad-mitting that she was shakey at thefirst thought of going into privatehomes, Marion lauded the value ofthese personal contacts in destroy-ing a paternalistic attitude so detri-mental to social work. ~lari()ngrew to understand the people 'i in-tricate problems, and to help openup new vistas from which theycould make their own choices.The final week the girls return-

ed to headquarters where they fin-ished the course in case work. 1 extsummer another opportunity to at-tend J unior ~lonth will be open toa Connecticut junior who, iuoden-tallx, doesn't have to be a sociologymajor.After leaving Boston Marion

spent two weeks in July as atrainee, sent by the Student Indus-trial Group to the Hudson ShoreLabor School in West Park, NewYork. The labor school is a leader-ship training project for laborers,made possible by the American As-sociation for Adult Education.Here Marien observed methods ofworkers education and got to knowthe laborers and their problems.She found that most of the workerswere pro-British and <Inti-com-munistic.After spending four weeks at the

top end of an ax and shovel build-ing a 4500 foot road in WyomingValley Pennsylvania Work Carne,Marion admitted that she'd neveragain laugh at a W PA workmanleaning on his pick. Flam August4 to 3J Marion was one of twentycollege students that felled trees,leveled ground and built a badlyneeded mountain road nearWilkes-Barre, Pa. Girls and boysalike worked each morning fromeight to noon under the guidance ofStanley IVlesavage, an industrialforester. The quota of l\Iarion'sgroup was 1000 feet of road, butat the end of the month they hadbuilt 4500 feet. Before this roadwas laid twenty five miles of forestcould burn beforc the foresterscould reach it. At the completionof the project that danger had b:ennarrowed to one mile.The twenty "manual laborers"

lived in a farm house, preparedtheir own meals and plactised self-government. After the morningwork the students took trips toneighboring towns and coal mineswhere they studied the particularproblems of the mining district.They also attended lectures givenby persons well versed on the prob4lems of the vicinity. ~Iarion hadthe experience of seeing employersanti-union intimidation tactics atwork when she aided a labor or-ganizer's daughter hand out union

Twelve per cent of the Class of'41 have said, "I do," and settleddown to married life. Twenty-fiveper cent of the class have graduat-ed from C. C. into schools of ad-vanced study. Most of the othershave already become experienced"career women." According to thereports received to date by the Per-sonnel Bureau, only seven membersof last year's graduating class areunemployed.At least one fifth of the gradu-

ates have been offered more thanone job, and some have had asmany as three or four opportunitiesopen to them. The profession most. popular with the Class of '41 isteaching. Fifteen graduates arenow working ill colleges, high

schools, and nursery schools. ecre-tarial work comes second withthirteen of last year's seniors doingwork of this type in various field .~lan}1 are also serving as fashion

coordinators, assistant buyers, andsaleswomen in department tores.Others are working as laboratorytechnicians in the fields of medi-cine, psychology, and chemistry, oras journalists, social workers, homeeconomists, banking and insuranceclerks, advertising writers, or de-fense workers.More than one third of last

year's graduates have not joinedthe ranks of the "white-collargitl." Thirty-two of them are do-ing graduate study in a great vari-ety of subjects.These figures, as compared with

the records of the last several years,show a great increase in opportuni-ties for the employment of collegegraduates. The Personnel BureauIS unable to fill the frequent callsfor chemists, secretaries, homeeconomists, physical educationteachers, and laboratory techni-crans.So-if you came to college to

find a husband, to lay a foundationfor further study, or to learn toearn a living, this is a brief sum-mary of what may be your chancesof success after four years at C.C.
