Westminster Played
Out Says Miss Lee
Courageous Labor Government,
a New Foreign Policy, and
Tariff Solution Needed
MUST    MOVE    FORWARD
"Westminster, its glory, its hero-
ism, belong to the past, and will not
be revived if it is left in Conserva-
tive hands," said Miss Jennie Lee, for-
mer Labor M. P., in her talk in Good-
hart, Wednesday night. This glori-
ous past must serve as a guide,
though not a model for the future.
In the seventeenth century, the House
of Commons rose to the national im- (
portance which it has today through
its vital struggle with Charles I, dur-
ing which its speaker denied the
king's arbitrary power in these his-
toric words: "Your Majesty, I have
neither eyes to see, nor ears-to hear,
but as the House commands." To-
day different things are being strug-
gled for, but the abstract forces are
the same.
Labox-teaders have just as earn-
est convictions as the Opposition of
1642, and are as ready to risk their
worldly goods. In the seventeenth
century the selfish economic interests
of merchants plus the religious fac-
tor formed a terrific national force
which lead to the supremacy of the
British Empire and the House of
Commons. "We have now reached a
crisis when we cannot muddle along;
but once again we will see whether
(ireat Britain can' produce tftV type
of person who will hazard all, and
produce a like meeting of the eco-
nomic, the body, and convict-ion, the
soul."
"We feel.'* said Miss Lee, "that we
have these two elements: the torment
* of economic insecurity, not of a small
middle class, but of the broad masses
plus the spirit of the Labor move-
ment, which has grown because peo-
ple felt they were not getting a-square
deal, and saw an opportunity in the
Labor and Socialist movement." The
Labor Government of 1924 was form-
ed on a wave of popular feeling, and
destroyed in 1926 by its own timidity
in economic issues. This failure of
the Labor Party threw the people of
Great Britain into the arms of the
Conservatives, with whom tiny Baw
a chance of regaining former pros-
perity; but "that is not brave, as
We should look ahead to solve le-w
economic problems."
"Westminster is played out,*** said
Miss Lee. "unless Great Britain can
-end up a Labor Government more
courageous than those of the past.'

To our own humble thoughts about
the theatre Robert Edmond Jones
added some vital inspiration in what
he has discovered for himself about
the drama. As a stage designer Mr.
Jones has seen our theatre in its
rawest state and found in it little
form, but tremendous life and energy.
Drama does not imitate life; it picks
out its significance and presents it
in an intensified form. Life is never
clear for longer than a moment at a
time, but goes on without order, hav-
In the ^Saturday morning game
against Swarthmore the Bryn Mawr
team proved that speed and accuracy
in shooting can overcome an advan-
tage in height. It took a whole quar-
ter for Bryn Mawr to come out of its
daze and for Longacre to get the Jump
from'the huge Swarthmore center.
The game started off with a rush
with a series of quick passes by
Swarthmore, but they soon lost the
ball when McCully intercepted a pass
from Sterling and sent it down to
CoI%#. Boyd feinted a run to the
line, but doubled back to receive the
pass from Collier over Longshore's
head. Boyd's easy shot was followed
by a pretty banked shot by Stubbs
for Swarthmore on a quick dribble
through Moore.    The highlight of the
first quarter was the paaawork of the
Swarthmore forwards. One of their
best was from one of the centers to
a forward who, running back, re-
versed it again to the center, only to
receive it beneath the basket lor an
easy overhand shot.
In the second quarter the Bryn
Mawr guards seemed unable to get
their passes through, but continued
their excellent work of blocking long
passes and breaking up dribbles. Al-
though Longacre was unable to gel
the tip-off, her password and thai of

an end. A play selects some, moment,
holds its clarity, begins, develops and
ends it in order, so that the function
of the theatre is "fixing our attention
on each moment of life as it passes."
In Btage designing one cannot just
invent a set by putting some furni-
ture in a room, but if one thinks about
the play, the set will grow complete

too apt to theorize about expression-
ism as a factor -cparalo from the
play itself. One must realize that as
the characters in the play have stories
attached to them, so the room they
live in must have the "shape of the
person who lives in it." Someone said

"Change in the most useful spur to
study that we have at our disposal,"
said Miss Park at chapel Friday
morning. Most of us are reluctant
scholars but manage somehow to fin-
ish the assigned reading and write
our reports. The desire for a prize
whips many students toward the goal,
as well as � strong inherent instinct
to advance. The most important
stimulus t�> learning, however, is'
change, as provided for by the For-
eign Fellowship. Although it is of-
ten difficult to study under shifting
conditions, a > different atmosphere
opens up new possibilities. As Dr. Flex-
ner said, "Foreign universities make
us use our wits." They awaken us
to fresh values and knock all shal-
lowness and immaturity out of us.
We are treated as independent and
learned scholars and come in contact
with foreign people, diets, and cus-
toms.
It was for the purpose of providing
this broader intellectual outlook that
the Delaware Foreign Student Plan
was evolved. The sophomores who
are to study at the Sorbonne next
year are: Jean $. Anderegg, Mary

Self-Government Meeting
Makes New Amendments
At the meeting of the Seif-Govcra-
ment Association Thursday. March
1,7, it was voted that for an overnight
absence a^student shall have notified
her hostess of her intended arrival.
The resolution against climbing in or
out-of windows was omitted. A res
olution was passed to the effect that
students must be in by 10:30 and that
entering or leaving the ball alter
10.30 by any means other than the
front door shows flagrant disregard
of this regulation. Article XIII was
amended to stipulate that if a stu-
dent, after leaving the halls, finds
out before 10.30 that she wishes spe-
cial permission, she must telephone
for a member of the Board and* have
herself signed out; if a student after
10.30 finds that she is unavoidably
delayed, she must notify the Warden.
A motion that the hours for informal
dancing be changed from 12.15 to
2.00 was carried. To make the reso-
lutions conform more closely to the
purpose of the organization it was re-
solved that each member of the asso-
ciation is responsible for seeing that
