He had a key to Dalton go there was no problem of keeping a man on campus to open and close the building. The college, however, turned him down. ‘Bresler pleaded with the Dean’s office. Finally the office said he could use the Common Room-- if he could provide $25 to pay a man to unlock and lock Goodhart. Thinking that the organization had better ways to spend its money, he turned to Haverford. *¢] don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner.”? Bresler went on to ‘a tet Haverford rolled out continued to use Stokes for meet- ings throughout the summer, It wasn’t only the college which refused to help the project. The Bryn Mawr Trust Company de- clined toaccept Vietnam Summer’s checking account, After an initial refusal by an official at a branch bank, Bresler was allowed to talk with Mr. John Paul, a..treasurer at the main office. After almost an hour’s discussion about the purposes of Vietnam Summer on the Main Line, Mr. Paul made an unconstitutional demand to see a membership list. The bank. finally decided that it could accept the account if Bresler could 1) produce a statement from Vietnam Summer’s national head- quarters in Cambridge that the Main ‘Line group was indeed an authorized group; and 2) elect two more members to be directors. Bresler spoke to Bob Brand, Regional Field Secretary, who stated that such a _ request (for national authorization) was ridiculous, each project was searpet; it offered him the © autonomous, no other bank in the ler’s emguninntind House "Plans are already underway for ‘a new language house at Bryn ‘Mawr which will accommodate stu- dents wishing to speak French, German, Spanish, or any combina- tion of the. three.

He said that the small college had no inherent advantages over the large school, but that it had more chances to make more changes and innovations in edu- cation than the large school. For instance, curriculum change is al- most impossible in a large school and not in a small school, be- cause of the sizé of the former’s bureaucratic machinery. If the small school missed these chances for change it would be throwing away its possibility for making educational contributions, The idea that change for change’s sake is good is more true in edu- that there is an atmosphere on the campus which encourages ex- perimentation among faculty, stu- dents and the other members of the administration, In his Collection speech last Sunday night, Coleman stated that he wanted ‘‘to ensure that Haver- ford is the best, liveliest, most innovative, and most concerned liberal arts college in the nation,”’ Tuesday he explained that he means by ‘‘concerned’® the ‘‘relating of knowledge learned in the college to the most perplexing of man’s social problems,’’ From his former position at the Ford Foun- dation, he discovered that there was too great a gap between the community and its problems and the university with its skills, knowledge and possible answers, ‘He believes universities must find a balance between involve- ment in society and withdrawal from it, An example of the kind of involvement he would like to see more often is the case of the atomic scientists, who, after see- * {ng the bomb they had built, be- came very concerned and demand- ed te be heard in the political arena which was to decide on the (Continued on page 6) Photo by Grethe .Holby ques= Robert Patten is coach for the oes formed Bryn Mawr Col- © lege Bow! is not to reflect the full academic of competition. powers of the players, but is intended to be in the spirit Questions are drawn from a .knowledge of Ancient, Modern European, and American History, American and English Literature, Languages, Philosophy, Music, Art, Mytho- logy, Sciences, and Sports, It is not only vital to find students with lots of facts from many areas, The chosen team must be able to draw on individual strengths and work to- gether to come up with an answer, said Mr, Patten, Both Lola and Mr, (Continued on page 3) Patten Returning Mawrters Bring Parking W oes Back to Bryn Mawr The parking situation on campus has again become a headache for the administration and for those who work and study but do not live at the college. : The violation of the parking rules make it difficult for those who must drive to school (and these outnum- ber the available spaces) to find a place to park.

Perhaps the Vietnam Summer Project could have ful- filled a need in the kind of education we are pursuing here, Hy “Drug Use “When a college, its administration and its student body, is discussing drugs, it is groping. It is feeling ite “way thegugh: & tid, and changing sltastion shout which few facts are known. Even the facts which are known seem-to cause dif- ficulties. Outstanding are these two; 1) the hal- lucinogenic and narcotic drugs (primarily LSD and - marijuana) are illegal and the penalties are serious and 2) possibly half the Bryn Mawr student body has taken these drugs. Whether they will continue to do so, and under what conditions they will do so depends Se Se ae ee ce ee and Self-Gov. The first action to be considered is Miss McBride’s “ Ietter to all students of August 25. It begins awkward- ly and admits to confusion, but ends with an absolute--‘‘She (the Bryn Mawr student) should hot plan to return to Bryn Mawr unless she is convinced that she will not be using drugs.” We wonder about the purpose of this sentence. Was it seriously in- tended that some students not return because they weren’t sure if they might be using drugs some- time during the year? Or was it meant to scare every- body; Page so much that they wouldn’t return? Does « it lay groundwork for possible expulsions during the year? United States Commissioner of Education Harold Howe Ill said this summer on ‘*Meet the Press’’ that the proper reaction to a student using drugs is not to punish him by throwing him out of school and into jail, but to find out WHY he is taking drugs. The school has a staff of psychologists to help stu- dents with similar problems. - Why not this. too? But Miss McBride’s letter indicates that the school is not willing to provide any such services; rather, the Bryn Mawr student is expected ‘‘to obey the laws prohibiting’’ the possession and use of drugs, and if she does not, she will not be a Bryn Mawr student for very long. The whole question of the drug laws adds to the confusion. We begin with the assumption that the col- lege will .never support conscious breaking of the laws, (Although it might support civil disobedience in some areas of civil rights, for instance the sit- ins of the early °60’s, we doubt that drug use can be put in the same category of importance.) We can however also assume that laws are made by men and can-- be changed, because they never embody ab- solute truth. But the NEWS does not here advocate smoking mar-— ijuana for the purpose of trying to change the laws, nor can it expect the college to lead sucha battle. But we do ask that the laws NOT be used to stifle all discussion about using drugs, We have taken up considerable space this issue to “present these not. printing the laws in an attempt to scare anyone into not trying marijuana, but to attempt to give a more rational setting in which to make their decision. This, we believe, should be the prime goal of the ¢ ‘ Letter to the Editor Helen Lee Feldman r ad local and federal laws. We are , Exams...

No scare tactics, no Federal agents lurking around, no mass expulsions. On the other hand, no social pressure to go to pot parties, and. no dinner conversation designed to glorify drugs and make non- users feel out of it. The purpose of Bryn Mawr is not to ignore or ex- pell the immature and the unsure student, be- cause .each one of us is immature and unsure in. some way. Rather Bryn Mawr is trying, in four years, to encourage maturity, to foster independence, to teach rationality in method and content. The NEWS hopes that the problems of students and drugs will be handled within this framework, and not within one of fear and closed minds. os Thefts on Campus | Even the ivory. towers are apparently no refuge from crime, First of all, hundreds of dollars worth of valuable merchandise--typewriters, radios, record players, cam- eras, a2 sewing machine--were stolen from locked closets of students over the summer. The victims will probably never recover what they lost. Students who live at a distance are almost forced to leave valuable equipment here during summer va- cation. How can one girl,. travelling alone, manage a typewriter or a sewing machine with all her luggage back and forth, say, to the- Midwest? Whom else in: the area could she trust to store these items beSides the college? ‘ The administration has made it clear that it cannot assume responsibility for articles left here over the summer, Nevertheless, there is no excuse for the negligence that allowed workmen and others to go in and out of the dorms all summer, unwatched, A typewriter, after all, is not easily concealed. Perhaps next year the college should select a cen- tral location where people may register valuable possessions and then insure it and guard it scrupulous- ly all summer. In any case, plans for a new arrangement should begin ight away, sq that it will be completely ready by the spring. We cannot afford to repeat this summer. _ Such a straightforward proposal, however, will not solve a related problem which is potentially even more dangerous.

When the idea of self-scheduled exams was first suggested by the student body, there were many ob- jections from the faculty. Some Professors felt that the new sys- tem would be an inconvenience for the faculty, creating more paperwork and giving them less time to correct exams. Others saw the exam schedule as being equit- ably fair to all students. When a concrete plan was presented to them, however, including valid reasons for a change in the sys- tem and suggestions for its fun- tioning, most of the faculty saw the benefits of such a change and the proposal was accepted.

Quality In Each Potential Freshman ‘*We get diversity without trying to get it,” said Miss Vermey, Director of Admissions for. the College, summing up the college’s lack-of-overall-policy admissions policy, in a recent interview. The Admissions Committee con- sists: of Miss Vermey, six faculty members selected by nominations from the faculty.committee, who _ serve: three year terms, and Mrs. Marshall and Miss McBride as ex- officio members. Last year the faculty members were Mr. Patten (English), Mr. Schneider (Soci- ology), Mr. Varimbi (Chemistry), Miss Ulfelter (Latin), Miss Good- ale (Anthropology), and Mr. Bur- lin (English), The faculty reads all the appli- cants’ folders and devotes a lot of time and hard work to admis- sions, according to members of the committee. Bryn Mawr is un- usual in having the faculty play such an important role in ad- missions, ‘for it is they, essen- tially, who select the new class. The Committee demands no set standards in the students it choos- es for Bryn Mawr. Each member ae to get to know the individ- ual applicant. Yet the members of the committee do have widely ranging perspectives on the Bryn Mawr student body. They recog- nize some common qualities to be looked for in students. But they see these qualities expressed differently by every Bryn Mawr girl. An intellectual spirit or ‘‘alive- ness,” along with academic per- formance, is sought in students, according to Miss Vermey. Cur- josity in a girl’s studies: and life is. not shown just by marks, said Miss Vermey. It canbe seen in ‘@-'teacher’s reaction tothe stu- dent, in a-personal interview, and in. what the student writes about herself. Although academic ‘curiosity is a@ factor which plays through all applicant cases, each studentdem- onstrates her eagerness to learn in a distinct way. fem i Mummified Cats ’ Miss Vermey gave hypothetical examples of a girl’s excitement in learning. One applicant was interested in archeology since the third grade, read voraciously in , it, and even mummified a cat. “T think that girl really had a lot .of curiosity,’’ said Miss Vermey. Another girl spent her interview sae about mystery stories. She an enthusiastic response 4o, the world which would be re- 7 sree in her work, explained Miss Vermey. Another - student was A about what she wanted “to do, and had developed all her interests equally. But she becomes “absorbed in what she is doing — reading all through Hemming- “way until she exhausts him, for § example -- although there is no design to her activities. Academic excellence is an ob- vious and universal quality to look for in new students, thought Mr. Patten. He talked about his unique view on what academic excellence in a student means. He defined academic excellence in terms of the response of a stu- dent, with something inside her- self, to the excitement of a pro- fessor in his field. Mr. Patten looks for a student who has come alive and responded to a stimu- lus from a teacher, or from the inherent appeal of a certain sub- ject. She should have the self- discipline to carry her excite- ment to learn into the actual digging out of information and ideas. At the same time she should possess imagination to dis- cover the most efficient why of dealing with the subject matter she is given, of discovering short cuts and connections. | A retentive and/logical mind is helpful in a student. Finally, ‘‘in- tellectual wattage’’ or sheer per- ception of the world is necessary. These qualities should be mainly focused on academics, Mr. Patten thought. But it is good that some of a student’s energies are left over after studies. An excitement in the life of the mind doesn’t exist only in a relationship be- tween the student and books, but in many aspects of life -- in art and music for example. If you are really ‘‘turned on’? by some- thing, Mr. Patten explained, the excitement spills over into what- ever you are doing. Yet it is not right to exclude a girl who holds a love of one thing. A student who never does anything but. work math problems may be on. the track of an important dis- covery. She is also exemplifying another quality -- concentration -- which is of value, too. Finally, it is good if a girl’s response to various subjects and activities is tied together by a re- flectiveness, by some goals which lend structure to her life, and which show an inner penetration of the outside world. ‘*The students will keep Bryn Mawr the way it is or change it to something else,’’ claimed Mr. Schneider, emphasizing the im- portance of change in an acad- demically excellent educational. Pizzazz ‘¢Quality in a girl’ I can only call pizzazz, flair, vitality,’’ he continued. We get all the ‘‘good students’? we want, Mr. Schneider claimed. It is a question not of who is academically fit, but who is selected from all the aca- demically fit applicants. It is vital that students not only do their work, but flavor their Bryn Mawr experience with their own talent. They should make use of their education in their own way, and contribute to it. The college must ask itself not only what it can do for its students, but what they can give to it. It is hard to_ photo | by Steve Faust - The bookstore w was one long line this week. determine which students have something special to give to the school, with only interviews and recommendations to go on, Mr. Schneider said. Secondly, Mr. Schneider thought that the Bryn Mawr student body should approach a representation of the student generation. Girls who have had psychiatric upsets or hpi “a should not automat- ically be rejected, for this kind of experience is part of the new gen- eration. Bryn Mawr has full rep- resentation of the quiet passive student, who has always done well in school, but who has perhaps never. questioned the purpose of what she is doing, and made learn- ing relevant and useful to herself and the people around her, claim- ed Mr. Schneider. Students should challenge them- selves by asking, ‘‘What do I want to know about myself and my times?”’ and ‘‘What am I here for?’’ After thinking about these questions, they will be better able to design-and demand the educa- tion they want and need. Creativity . * “Learning should be an intense and immediate concern, some- thing that becomes a part of you, even if it shakes the hell out of you -- it’s not just something you~ . DO,” said Mr. Schneider. Students should be more than institutional- ists who follow along and take the courses they’re supposed to take. “This is not a call for creativity in its own right,” he explained. “I mean creativity in the literal sense, that the education becomes creative, that it changes the stu- dent. It should incite self-aware- ness, self-questioning, even dis- content. Education is a bringing to con- sciousness,’’ he concluded, not an obstacle course of things to be learned compulsively. Mr. Varimbi advocated the di- versity of students which a faculty committee of different views reading all applications makes possible. The various members of the Committee have certain biases, and see merit in different things. ‘“‘For example,’’ said Mr. Varimbi, “as a scientist, I might favor a student who had achieved a lot in Academic Rules Reprinted, Given To All Students The revised academic rules for undergraduates has been print- ed and is being distributed to students this week, > It contains the rules for exams and papers, requirements for graduation, and standards of work drawn up by the faculty in the first section, The second sec- tion is devoted to the academic. honor system, The honor system is formulated by the students and accepted by the faculty, This section includes several new paragraphs on the self- scheduled exam system to go into operation this winter, In- stead of the Haverford phrase about not divulging ‘‘form, con- tent or degree of difficulty” of an exam the exam period, the Bryn Mawr student must not discuss the ‘‘nature, length or degree of difficulty” of the exam. The penalties for breaking the academic rules of the college range from cancellation of part or all of a course, or suspension or. expulsion from the college, SP ncn tom on penaltiés are made by the Administrative Board, which consists of the Self-Gov Executive Board, three faculty a fe ef Harriet Leach is growing up. by Steve ‘science, but was less interested in English.’’ Any more “efficient’’ system which would cut down the work of the Admissions Committee by judging applications in terms of ‘fixed demands and by using the faculty committee only in ‘“‘doubt- ful’? cases is unjust. When a col- lege invents a pattern for the type of students it wants in a class, it creates an artifical diversity. This is the trend in many colleges today, Mr, Varimbi claimed. Academic talent and perform- ance are keys in the acceptance of students at Bryn Mawr and a variety of girls are bound to come naturally. It is better for a class to be a little unbalanced than for the Committee to arrange a model of balance. ‘‘The orchestra sounds better if you have a bassoon,”’ Mr. Varimbi quipped, ‘‘but the college will survive a year or two without one.’’ Mrs. Marshall,, an ex-officio member of the Committee explain- ed how terribly complicated ad- ‘missions are. It is, for example, difficult to understand a student’s background and recommendations Open Undergrad Meeting Monday 7:15 f College Bowl ... (Continued from page 1) urge everyone to come to the first try-out meeting on Tuesday night, and to think of students who might do especially well in the game, According to Mr, Pat- ten, this is a _ time when students should recall their school spirit and move themselves to actively stand up for the Bryn Mawr team’s efforts, Would-be contestants will write down answers to 100 questions prepared and read aloud by Mr.,.

SUMMARY OF DRUG LAWS 4 Because of the widespread interest in the legal ramifications of involvement with narcotics and dan- gerous drugs, the following summary of Pennsylvania _ and Federal law has been prepared to advise students of prohibited acts and the potential criminal penalties. Both State and Federal laws divide drugs into two categories and distinguish between narcotic drugs, such as marijuana or heroin, and dangerous drugs, such as LSD and barbiturates or amphetamines. Ordinarily, . prosecution could be expected through arrests by local ~ or state police and enforcement. of state laws in the state courts. However, federal prosecution is also possible and would be more likely in cases involving interstate transactions. PENNSYLVANIA LAW The Drug Device and Cosmetic Act of 1961, 35 P.S. 780, et seq. NARCOTICS: . Definition. The term ‘‘narcotic drugs” means: ar opium (2) cocoa leaves (except decocainized leaves or extracts) (3) marijuana (4) tsonipecaine (any substances identified chemi- cally as 1-methyl-4-phenyl-piperidine-4-car- boxylic acid ethyl, ester or any salt thereof) (5) any drug or other substance designated by the United States of the Treasury as having an addiction-forming or addiction-sus- taining liability similar to morphine or cocaine. B. Prohibited Acts. (1) The possession, control, dealing in, dispens- ing, selling, delivery, distribution, prescrip- tion, trafficking in, or giving of any narcotic drug.

THE COLLEGE NEWS a A friendly native. photo by Herbert Alexander Flying across the Alaskan wil- derness at fifteen feet in the mid- dle of a snowstorm is only one of the amazing (but actual) adven-* tures that several members of the Bryn Mawr community en- countered this summer. Beth Chadwick and Peggy Thom- as, both in the senior class, and Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Alexander, of the Anthropology and Mathe- matics Departments respectively, spent over two months uncovering important archaeological — sites above the Arctic Circle.

They returned with over 50,000 pieces, including flint tools and antler arrowheads, as well as what Mr. Alexander terms ‘‘an incredible amount of junk, dis- carded in the process of tool- making.” He has good reason to be pleas- ed with the finds. ‘‘The Birnirk culture existed from 700 to 1700 A.D. The material fills in a time gap extending from the earliest atin periods, which have always been well represented, to recent times.’? ‘the Alexanders discovered some of the sites on a trip to the area last summer. This year, the objectives were to exhaust the older sites and to keep up a con- stant search for new ones. They took turns exploring the area in groups of two, while the others stayed behind to dig. ‘‘Much of the excitement and ad- venture occurred on these survey trips,’’ says Mr. Alexander, whose Paul Bunyan beard is an approp- riate symbol of wilderness life. The surveyors carried guns as protection against bears and wolves. On one six day outing, Peggy was rather badly frost- bitten. The main problems. resulted from bad weather. The party flew north from Fairbanks June 12, but frozen lakes prevented their float plane from landing. They spent .two weeks in an Eskimo village at Anaktuwuk Pass, wait- ing for the ice to break. ‘There are no roads in the ‘area, and the only way to get from the base camp to the main site was by canoe. We had a devil of a time getting across the lake, since we had to break our way through the ice. And there was the danger of being capsized by wind-blown ice.”’ Once at the site the job of un- photo by Herbert aaideauier Some of the artifacts which the group found.

But locating new sites wasn’t nearly so syste- matic. ‘‘We found our best site while digging a trap for a ground squirrel,’’ Mr. Alexander laugh- ingly admits. Despite inconsistencies in the weather, Peggy and Beth found life in the Arctic ‘‘pretty com- fortable.” Most of the food was brought in by plane, but they did have to hunt for meat. ‘‘We made sensible use of the land,’’ explains Beth, ‘‘and hunting helped.us to learn a lot more about the ‘photo by Herbert Alexander country.’? Kim, Neil, and Erica (ages three, four, and eight) especially enjoyed making snowmen in July. Theyhad some trouble adjusting to the mo- squitoes, though. According to Beth, ‘‘they’re so thick that you inhale five or six in one breath. - But you learn how to roll them into a. ball with your tongue and spit them out.’’ _ For Peggy and Beth, two months in the foothills and tundra of north- ern Alaska have afforded a per- sonal gain. *“‘The survey trips really put us to the test. I feel I can face almost anything after that -- except civilization.” The girls smile at Peggy’s observation and look thoughtful, but they don’t elaborate. Anyone intent on under- standing what they mean will have to drop by the Atigun River Valley and find out for himself.

Ted Erickson, a graduate student in biology, made all the proper arrangements for mov- ing his family into Erdman with the Deans’ office last spring. There were two reasons for the experiment: first, Erdman was having trouble finding a warden; Vietnam Summer (Continued from page 1) of this demand. With these difficulties out of the way, the Main Line Vietnam Summer project had several suc- cesses. It collected several hun- dred signatures on a petition ad- dressed to CongressmanSchwei- ker of the 13th District. The petition asked that Schweiker re- turn to Montgomery County to hold open hearings on the war and other community issues. It stated that the signees were ‘‘concerned about the effect the war has on our domestic programs’’ and about “the growing loss of American and Vietnamese lives.’’ A Vietnam Film Series was shown late in the summer. One, ‘‘Why Vietnam?” was an Army film, presenting the Administra- tion position. Bresler describéd it as being very persuasive to people who are not aware of some of the inconsistencies in facts, and the ‘‘out and out lies.’”’ Also shown was ‘‘Sons and Daughters,”’ “Good Times, Wonderful Times,”’ and “Time of the Locust.’ The Main Line project was basically educational in nature. Its purpose was to inform Main Liners of its Government’s poli- cies and actions in more com- plete terms than they could get in the American press.

It seemed na- tural that the hippie subculture would develop its own news media, and I was interested enough in what I read to go down to the ‘Helix’? office one August ' morning to talk to the editor and one .of the staff, We're about $1200 in debt right now, but it should be paid off in two-and-a- half or three months, We raised the price from 15¢ to 20¢ to do it,’? Paul Dorpat, editor and founder of the ‘**Helix’? explained as he cleaned up his office-apartment, Dorpat himself though, does not con- sider his paper a spokesman for. the hippies, Even if they were united enough to have one spokesman, it wouldn’t be he, But the paper’s format and editor- ial, content were obviously influenc- potas the ideas and concerns of hippies, straight. Seattle people read the pea to see what the hippies were going to do next, The ‘Helix’? like many of the other small, often in debt, papers that have been begun recently in many large cities, belongs to the Underground Press-Ser- vice, This is a very loose organiza- tion which at the moment doesn’t do much besides exchange copies of each other’s issues, These papers are often staffed and supported by ex-university students, They emphasize opinion and perspective rather than bid news facts. Dorpat pointed out that all news is slanted, either consciously or uncon- sciously, Many big newspapers have become ‘‘p.r, things for the establish- ment ... The Press deludes itself if it thinks it can reduce problems and issues UNDERSTANDING oO ~-Still-sweeping papers out from under chairs, he talked about the beginning of the ‘‘Helix.” Last April, in his capacity as curriculum chairman of the Free University of Seattle, he had been putting together a catalog of courses and ideas, and it grew into a newspaper. Now it comes out about every. two weeks, True to its hippie orientations, much: of its space, is taken up with comments on local be-ins, light shows and anti- war activities, It also had been very careful during the summer to document all kinds of police harrassment around the U District, of which there was a great deal, ‘‘Rights interest me a lot,’’ Dorpat explained, ‘‘The police on the other hand are interested in keeping things Sober, steadfast, demure, They don’t. like change,”’ By this time the cleaning had gotten to the point of picking up clothing off the floor (‘‘is this yours?”’), At the same time a body on a cot in the corner began to wake up, It was Scott White, high school dropout and invaluable staff member of the ‘‘Helix,’’ ‘‘Man,”’ he said, ‘‘this is driving me INSANE, I’m not going to stay here any more, I can’t take it.’’ Dorpat patted him on the head and suggested he go somewhere and take a shower today. Scott agreed, twirling his Indian amulet around his neck, He explained that he couldn’t stand all the people who wander in and out of the office, with sometimes “eight or nine of them staying for the night, I was then told a long complicated story about Scott White’s life, which consisted largely of his father’s activi- ties as Sunday editor of a Large Metro- politan Newspaper, and the distinction of being kicked out of college with the pre- sent Governor of Wyoming. I! wasn’t sure if the Governor was just in the same class or was actually expelled with him, Scott demanded to know my National Merit score --he beat me by five points, The two then began to talk about what photo by Kit Bakke Scott White, staff member and Paul Dorpat, editor of the ‘‘Helix.*’ to ‘the facts’ , Extending this line of. thinking, he predicted that all newspapers may evolve from concentrating on the facts to concentrating on opinions, This evolution may be complete in the next 20 years or so, because television is rapidly pushing the papers out of the fact distribution business, Dorpat then re- ferred me to a chapter in MclLuhan’s they had to do that day, It involved some very business-like phrases like “‘it all is contingent on him buying out the other partner,”’ but moved on to plans to help 20,000 migrant workers in eastern Wash- ° ington left without money or food because the: harvest was a month late, They also gossiped about a “‘coup’’ at the ‘‘Berke- ley Barb,’? another hippie paper.

District. apparently involved about 3/4 of the staff, Scott was most interested in the fact that the editor fed his workers all their meals, They decided that the problem must have been editorial disagreements, rather than a. fight over working conditions, The ‘Helix’? like most of its counterparts does not pay its staff, but the editor tends to give much of his money to friends, The Helix,” Dorpat claims,-is a very well-read paper, They print 10,000 copies , and. will probably.be doing 15,000 when school starts at the University of Wash- ington, They charge $2.25 a column inch for ads (the NEWS charges $1.85) but that is only if ‘‘Columbia Records or something like that wants an ad,’’ Friends get space for much less, The two-room office was slowly get- ting cleaned. I had discovered another sleeping body in the other room, He never did wake up, One entire wall was taken up by a huge American flag, on which werepinned some very good black-and-white photo- graphs of people at be-ins, The other walls were covered with newspaper clipp- ings of police harrassments, hand-printed signs saying ‘‘Need Ride to Bay Aréa, Undergrad toReceive Kick-back i From VISA Books and Cards: ‘Lola Atwood, president of Undergrad has announced that Undergrad will be receiv- ing 50¢ for each VISA book and card sold, and a dime for each book sold with- out the card.

When asked what he would write about instead, he did not- think there would be any dearth of copy, and besides. they could always write about “Eastern philosophies and how to grow | pot in your back yard like the ‘San / Francisco Oracle’,’? v4 As I was getting ready to leave, Scott and Dorpat began discussing moving to a bigger. place, -‘‘I don’t care--just as long as I can have a room to myself,’’ they both kept repeating, Scott started opening their mail, reading out loud from one envelope, ‘‘First Class Mail: Prot- e Kit Bakke counts. at many stores in Philadelphia as well as on the Main Line.
