Editorial: — No News Is Bad News We know of no other college newspaper in the country which supports itself solely on sub- scription and ad revenues. And now we know why ; it can’t be done; it’s impossible. There are two important things that a stu- dent newspaper does for a college. First, it acts as a forum for student opinion, a catalyst for debate and clarification of issues_on. va- rious decision-making levels. This is its most important and most exciting job, _ Second, the newspaper reports the news: it covers what has happened and provides information about what is going to _ happen. It is a central clearing house for all notices of lectures, con- certs, drama productions and social events as well as being a link between Undergrad - Self- Gov activities and the students, Both jobs entail editorial accuracy, Both : require a staff willing and able to spend the : time necessary to find out what is going on, and an Editorial Board willing and able to re- flect on the facts, make some sense out of them and use them to form responsible editorials. As it stands now, this cannot be fully achie- : ved, We have to spend too much time worrying | - about the money situation, worrying about sub- ' scriptions and soliciting more ads. This na- -turally .demeans.the quality. ofthe paper---and from the middle of November to the middle The solution appears obvious. It will give # the newspaper more money on a more regular # basis than it has now, and it will also eliminate © the difficulties of the $3.75 subscription drive -in the fall. We have proposed ina referendum to be submitted to the students next week that _ Undergrad subsidize the NEWS to the extent | of raising the Undergrad dues from $11 to $14. Then everyone will receive a copy of the NEWS automatically every week, Our expenses are rising (it costs about $30 a page to publish 1300 copies), but for the first time we have. a competent photographic staff and we think there is a chance of publishing a really good paper. But we need your help. NEWS referendum. Vote YES on the State Dept.

Perhaps the reason for this lack of enthusiasm in the elections is not so much campus apathy as the nature of the two organizations involved, It is unfair to call Alliance and Interfaith ‘‘nothing’’ organizations. But it is true that they are largely meant to be alliances of smaller interest groups, without any definite character or affiliation of their own, - But these smaller groups seem a lot more willing and better able to carry on religious and political action on campus than the general organizations which loosely tie them together. There was a series of complaints at the beginning of this year about the lack of Jewish-oriented activities in Interfaith, Finally a few students jumped up and starteda Jewish discussion. group which now meets regularly... When Alliance tried last semester to take a poll of stu- ‘dent opinion on the war in Vietnam, it met with accusations that the distributed questionnaire was biased and not representative of conservative roves Most of the political action on campus is sponsored by groups like the Social Action Com- mittee, the International * Relations Club, and the new Committee of Responsibility. They can act without worrying about reconciling all shades of opinion at Bryn Mawr. One valuable function Alliance and Interfaith do perform consists in providing lectures. However, many of them are poorly ‘attended. Some of the Alliance lectures this fall were given to an audience of two or three, Smaller groups may have ~ wanted to invite speakers in whom they knew their members were interested. However, the budget of branch groups under Alliance and Interfaith is gen- erally limited. The Social Action Committee’s, for instance, is only $100 a semester, hardly enough to set up any program of outside speakers. ' We feel that Alliance and Interfaith should be replaced by a non-partisan board designated to coordinate lectures, The board would consider re- quests for speakers from various groups and individuals, It would delegate funds on the basis of available money, how many people were interested, and how many other requests had been made, It would also fix dates for lectures to keep any one week from becoming overloaded, . In this way the Social: Action Committee could ask for money to hold a teach-in on the CIA, while the Young Americans for Freedom could discuss the read of communism in Latin America. Eachcampus group would have equal claims on the lecture board, | If more people were curious about Zen Buddhism _. than about early Quakerism, the lectures would a ‘reflect this tendency. Alliance and Interfaith can’t manufacture enthusiasm. on campus, Furthermore both organizations are forced to constantly worry about taking a partisan stand on issues, and even about choosing issues, _ Students can’t expect Alliance and Interfaith to guess. ee oe menemated in a: then turn Bien esena hs al " Letters to the Editor i) ¥ * Published weekly during the College Year except during Thanks- | sie Interfaith Is Dead To the Editor: No one has accepted the nom- ination for the presidency of In- terfaith, Approximately ten stu-- 4-dents' were nominated and de- clined, not because they are not interested, but because they are involved in other activities, For this reason, the Interfaith Board decided last week that an Inter- faith committee under the auspices of- Undergrad should be tried at least for a year, The issue will be brought up-and settled at-the March 6th meeting of Undergrad, This year Interfaith has concen- . trated mainly on the lecture ser- ies and has tried to present topics of universal interest, Interfaith has not, however, started any dis- cussions of an ecumenical nature, either on campus or with other schools, A committee could be set up so that the work in both these areas would be divided, For example, there might be two people to set up and carry out the lecture series, two to maintain contacts with the local churches and co- ordinate denominational groups on campus, two to establish contacts with other schools, and two to handle publicity, A chairmanwould be responsible for coordinating the committee, calling meetings, go- ing to Undergrad meetings, etc.; she would be elected by the com- mittee, For such a committee to be effective, its members must be committed and willing to think of new ideas and carry them out, Hopefully a committee such as this will give Interfaith enough flexibility so that it can re-evalu- ate its whole structure and, there- by, better serve students’ inter- ests, Madeleine Sloane ’68 News Crisis To the Editor: In connection with this week’s editorial I would like to submit that I find it intensely humiliating to have to concede that a news or- gan attached to a school such as Bryn Mawr should have to strug- gle to maintain its very existence, Whether the funds for the sup- port of the College News should be extracted from Undergrad or from the administration itself is of little relevance in the long run. What is infinitely more significant is the fact that the responsibility for the financial difficulties of the NEWS rests with the students them- selves, with those very individuals who are most intimately benefited by its presence, The obvious lack of active par- ticipation in the construct of the college paper can perhaps be’for- given but not the lack of aware- ness which manifests itself among the student body by a shockingly low number of student subscrip- tions to the NEWS, If the COL- LEGE NEWS should disappear from the campus, its loss would signal an eloquent reproach to all those who chose to overlook its value in a moment of crisis. Marina Wallach, ’70 Key Fears To the Editor: In last week’s COLLEGE NEWS Debbie Jackson voiced concern over the attitude behind the present - demands for increased freedom. Judy Chapman recognized the need tor thought and discussion before equated the Self of Self-Govern- ment with the individual, This equation is wrong. Self-Govern- ment. is the manner in which “this college community has chosen to deal with the human problems which inevitably arise where people are in contact and possibly conflict with each other. The Self of Self-Government refers to the student body as a whole, a unit, not to any individual self. But this does not mean that the individual self has no place within our system of government. It means ‘that neither the individual nor the . .system can operate without mutual consideration. Suppose Self-Government is interpreted as meaning that the government of each individual is to ‘be left entirely to that in- dividual. What will the con- sequences be? What changes will occur in the communal aspects of life here? What will Executive Board’s job.be? Executive Board. . will formulate policy in individual |Bella Lisook - cases. On what grounds? According to what guidelines? How will Ex- ecutive Board ever be able to take any action other than re- minding an offender of her responsibilities? Admonitions alone are impotent--barely heard and soon forgotten. Will we open ourselves. to internal conflict due to the relativity of honor? What will the Hall President’s job be? Will. she be unnecessary because we shall have achieved a utopia in which there are no rules to break? Will she assume the re- sponsibility of holding frequent meetings at which the spirit of the system will be made clear? Would any one come to these meetings? If you think many people would be willing to devote them- selves to the self-examination necessary to make. this idea work, please remember the shortness of memory and lack of response evident in the mén-in-the-rooms question. The government of every indi- vidual by herself alone tends, then, to encourage anarchy, Ulti- mate authority would not rest with the Executive Board (a lenient body, always willing to consider individual circumstances), not with the Hall President, but with the individual. The philosophy behind the suggestions of the Con- stitutional Revision Committee is a philosophy of isolationism. It makes a girl responsible to herself for her actions and to herself alone. Responsibility to others is not thought to be im- plicit in self-responsibility. If indeed the student body is calling for isolationism it should attack the definition of Bryn Mawr as a residential college, and stop merely pretending to support a system which holds respect. for the community and responsibility to that community in high regard, The plea is--don’t confuse the issues. Perhaps we would like.to suggest that the Board of Trustees reconsider the definition of Bryn Mawr College. If so, our sug- gestion--can be made and con- sidered. But for the present and the immediate future we dolive here as a community. And as a community we cannot afford to submerge ourselves in the chaos of freedom from law. What is true of the student com- munity is true of the individual; if she is to preserve an integrity a wholeness, in her life she cannot submerge herself in the freedom from law which is chaos. We subject our academic work to a rule of carefulness, thorough- and thoughtfulness, that ‘freedom WITHIN law. If ire whole people, the same — s and principles must be do not reveal any awareness of the FACT that, as of now, we do not live our lives in isolationfrom one another, nor do they reflect any thoughtful consideration of the im- ~ plications of living an in- dividual WHOLE life. As Hall Presidents we have had practical experience with the per- sonal problems ‘engendered - by our system of Self-Government. The doubts we express, the ob- servations we make, directly from that experience and are offered to you as their result. We hope you will remember that we. condemn. the proposals less than the spirit which permeates them. Unfortunately, experience tell us the proposals seek license-- not principle, but license. We call on you to consider the ramifications of the choice pre- sented for your vote--and to choose with care, : Sandy Gilluly - Batten House Peggy Heston - Pembroke East Pembroke West Paishy Meigs -. Wyndham Ann Platt - Rockefeller Unwarranted Fears To the Editor; | Recent letters and editorials in the NEWS about the proposed con- stitutional -revision, both those which support the changes and those which express reservations, all make the unwarranted assump- tion that the revisions will bring about fundamental changes in the attitudes and behavior of students. I doubt that they will. Most of the controversy has been about the elimination of the cur- few and the initiation of a ‘‘key system’’, The hall presidents who wrote the above letter represent the concern that without a curfew people will tend to spend more time out of the dorm and destroy what sense of community that there is there. I think that is highly unlikely, under the present system gives a girl*the option of being out of the dorm all the time if she wants to be, and yet overnights aren’t used extensively during the week. By eliminating the 2:00 curfew the proposed rule change elimi- nates an arbitrary limit, I can- not imagine that-suddenly large numbers of people will want to come in between 2:00 and 8:00. It is very possible that having no cur- few will make it easier for a girl to come in earlier than 2:00, since that will no longer be a limit to be pushed toward. : The hall presidents who wrote the above letter state that they are concerned not so much with specific rules changes, but with the spirit of ‘isolationism’? of the individual in which they were made. [ think they are wrong in assuming that in giving the in- dividual the freedom to make choices, such as when to come in at night or what to wear on a giv- en occasion, we are fostering anarchy. They object to the fact that under the revised constitution ‘cultimate authority will rest not with executive board ( a lenient body always willing to consider individual circumstances), not with the hall president, but with the in- dividual.” | firmly believe that that is exactly where it should rest, The role of executive board should not be to stand over us all and be ‘lenient’, but rather to administer a system which pro- vides a framework in. which its members can make responsible decisions, We agree that we all should participate more in our self-go- participation is fostered if the in- ‘dividual must make decisions as . _ to what her responsibilities toher~_ aera Oe eer come .

Lack of support from host country offi- cials was rated among the great- est problems, and was highest in Asia. Another big problem State Dept... (Continued from page 1) Expressing deep concern over civilian casualties, Bundy stated that the State Department would introduce the Committee’s doc- tors to officials in Vietnam, ex- pedite visas permitting the chil- dren to enter the US, provide air transportation for the Com- mittee’s representatives during their stay in Vietnam, and nego- tiate further about the possibility for government transportation of children. to the US, Dr, Needle- man stated that he was pleased with the result of the interview and set April 10 as a target date for the departure of the mission of doctors to Vietnam to choose the first group of children, was apathy among.the host country nationals in the desire to help themselves, Disinterest in the Peace Corps and unfriendliness was ranked highest in the Near East and in South Asia, Accord- ing to the report, however, ‘‘The most striking feature of the re- sponses was the tendency: of the Volunteers not to consider most of the problems as serious,”’ Sports and recreational activi- ties play a large role in most nations, They are effective means of improving health, personal character, and international un- derstanding, They help to develop national pride and friendliness among groups within a nation, These activities also’ serve as an ‘tin?? for Volunteers to gain the support and trust of the young people in the countries, and help to break down barriers between them, The twelve-week training pe- riod for the Peace Corps is rig- orous, It is based on practice rather than books, and Volunteers are trained mainly by ‘‘veterans’’ with first-hand experience, Al- though physical conditioning does not play as important a role as it once did (before, Volunteers were left alone in jungles with compasses and maps and told to find their way back to camp), Vol- unteers are trained to live in rugged conditions, such as. Asian villages, Nepali houses, etc, - They eat native foods, use na- tive utensils, and follow local tra- ditions, Trainees are taught the language, politics, history, and culture of their assigned nations, as wellas farming techniques, first aid, teaching skills, and the skills of construction work, Problems of personal adjust- ment, once thought to be the major ‘problem in overseas service, are no longer considered serious by Volunteers, and many felt that the experience had brought great . emotional development, s7 — by Margaret Levi '68 The author asked that this article be printed as a follow- up of her ‘‘Open End’’ contri- bution last week--Ed. note. The following extracts from a letter to Margaret Levi from Rev- erend James Robinson, Director of Crossroads Africa, serve, I think, to show the kind of harm the CIA has done to organizations and foundations which were implicated, but innocent of CIA involvement, **‘We have never at any time or in any way been an agency or an affiliate of the Central Intelligence Agency, They have never even approached, much less worked through or with, any member of our executive staff.

Fin- ally, when solutions are-found, when pro- posals such as the bus and meal exchange do pass, we must continually be alert to new problems that arise, and seek answers. Many good ideas die because they are not carried to completion. Rather than abolish Undergrad, let us utilize its unique structure to tap and implement student ideas. A.A. Donna Cross - Bryn Mawrters rarely argue violently about the Athletic Association. This makes it hard to find out whether softball or croquet will be more popular. The hard core of Sunday-afternoon volleyball play- ers know that they like to play volleyball. What about everybody else? Everyone needs to relax sometime and somehow. It is A.A.’s job to know how to give people the chance. we can dust off one of the old trophies and bring it out on Awards Night. We can plan to play softball with the faculty children. The ynicest thing about A.A.’s activities is that they are-all for fun. A.A. is a success if people enjoy its activities. Madeleine Ewing The role of the Athletic Association in the College life is a potentially great one. A_ student does not spend all her time eating, sleeping, or studying. Re- creational activities are an important part of her life. Many students feel the need of strenuous physical excercise to help them relieve the tensions of stu- _dying. _Others-prefer- to-spend their lei- sure time in organized activity. The de- mand for some sort of activities’ pro- gram is sizeable; the opportunity for the Athletic Association to serve the stu- dents is conséquently great. I w like to see A.A. take an even more role in College life than it has retofore. Its week-end acti- vities should continue in accordance with the interests of the community. In- creased communication and coordination with Haverford is a must. As a matter of fact, increased communication with B.M.C. itself is essential. Since the Athletic Association is not a group of entertainers who keep students occupied but is an organizational body represen- tative of ALL B.M.C, students, imple- menting student-motivated activities, it must have contact with the students them- selves in order to know what they want to do. I would like to improve contact through dorm representatives and through A.A.: Donna Cross and Madeleine ving This year A.A. has-tried to plan an activity a week. The faculty-student and Bryn Mawr-Haverford events have been , especially successful. Boys are fun any- way, and some people have been surprised to find that the professors are, too. Meeting professors three times a week in classes makes you forget that they exist in any other context. On the tennis court, however, you may discover | that they are people, too. A.A, has continued to sponsor some *tregulars’’; badminton and volleyball on Sunday, recreational swimming during the week. A.A. tries to encourage people to do what they want to do. This year, it has been reasonably successful in guess- ing what activities to plan. It is important for the dorm reps. to feel responsible for taking an informal poll of what people on campus are interested in doing. A.A, should also serve as a source of suggestions. Many people do not know, for example that Applebee Barn (the building above the tennis courts) can be used for parties. A.A. is in charge of giving the initial permission. There is a@ good deal of red tape involved, but it is worth the effort. Applebee has a huge fireplace, and the college will even lay the fire. The Athletic Association should make a point of letting people know how to use Applebee. Many people have asked about possible picnic areas within walking or bicycling distance. Valley Forge is fun if youhavea car. If you do not, it is a long walk from the train station. Even. if A.A. - does not plan picnics for the entire student: Be es eres oe + iehat moore about where to go. * AA, aah, Dee ie Sa" irection. more extensive publicity. I would like to see A.A, fulfill its role next year. I would like to see more inter-dorm competitions, more fa- culty-student activities, better publicity for A. A. ’s own and for other events in the area, increased cooperation with Haverford, and efficient supervision of regular Sunday afternoon activities in the gym. The opportunities for service are great; the challenge to A.A, is greater. If elected,.I will do my best to help A.A. meet that challenge. Alliance Doris Dewton The Alliance for Political Affairs is an umbrella organization covering all the aspects of a student’s political interests. Most of the people now familiar with Al- liance. know it as a cause-fighting or- ganization; yet this function is only 4 part of Alliance’s greater role. In addition to serving with political interest groups, Alliance also serves the more general politically related interests of students. Speakers present lectures .on topics of current interest, chosen for their impor- tance in the national or international struc- ture. For example, the present empha- sis is on Latin America, a new sphere of influence of American government. There are other more personal programs, such as the recent presentation of the newCom- mittee of Responsibility, which proposes . to take war-burned and injured children out of Vietnam for extensive medical treatment in the United States. Since political affairs can be inter- preted to include any affairs involving a\ group of people in a social organization, — reypan fo eon anit ot tems.are within the on Se DERGRAD, BIG FIVE From a purely political view, national political affairs have already focused on the 1968 elections. Now is the time to form clubs advocating certain candidates or issues, and to bring new ideas into the existing organizations. ae On the international level, there are many areas worthy of speakers or panel discussions. Our neighbors in Latin America are suddenly very close and important, and much of our foreign po- licy is hemispheric. . The issues on the international scale are innumerable: the United Nations, NATO, Vietnam, the Red split, problems of development in Asia, Africa and the East, and the role of the | United States on these issues. A random sampling from any newspaper illustrates the scope of affairs that Al- liance could handle. Questions include: The Congress-as an effective organ for representative government; the role ofthe CIA in control of what is American; the question of Vietnam; power changes in Africa and Asia; legislation of social and religious values; and many others of equal importance. Students and student affairs are an integral part of Alliance, and I would appreciate any suggestions on topics or speakers of general interest on campus. For an organization such as Alliance to function in its capacity as a coordinating body, more sub-groups, be they inter- est- groups or political organizations, are needed to bring new spirit into Alliance. One question facing Alliance is whether to organize its programs around one basic theme, and explore it in detail, or whether to gather a little information about a variety of topics. In any case, I would like to see more coordination between related groups on campus, such as League and Alliance. The suggestion has also been made that Alliance set up another con- ference similar to that held in 1964 on the Second American Revolution , a study of the psychology and socialogy of pre- judice and segregation. Arts Council Linda Anderson It would seem that the greatest weakness of Arts Council as it now stands is the fact that it is not truly fulfilling the function of a council. This function is, I believe, to serve as a kind of governing or controlling board over the activities of a large group of people, specifically those activities con- cerned with various aspects of the arts on Bryn Mawr’s campus. However, themem- bers who now comprise this council are far too busy to govern, control, or co-or- dinate, for the simple reason that these few people, once a project is formed, are foreed to carry it out themselves, if it is ever to be carried out at all. The inevitable con- clusion: lack of campus support. I do not feel that this problem necessar- ily results from the now-proverbial apathy of the‘ student body, but, rather more from a general lack of awareness of the oppor- tunities available to us. These opportun- ities would seem to fall into two categories: those existing on campus, and those that are available beyond the limits of Bryn Mawr. To begin with those aspects most directly ~ iivelying-our own campus, might we not begin to tap our own professors on the subject of some of their academic inter- ests which are not necessarily connected with the courses they. teach us? The bene- fit of such a plan, perhaps based on such an informal system as a simple coffee hour with students and one or two faculty members at a time, would -be twofold; first, it would expose the student to a new realm ofknowledge concerning a particular topic (as, for instance, the subject of a book or dissertation on which the professor is currently working), and, secondly, fac- ulty-student relations, too often inadequate at this college, would surely be more satis- factory. A second area of improvement might be centered around the College Inn. Plans were formulated earlier this year to turn the Inn into a kind.of coffee house on Fri- day evenings, with the purpose of allowing students from Bryn Mawr and Haverford the chance to read their own poetry, or per- haps to perform on a musical instrument, either individually or in groups. Again, there was no one prepared to organize this set-up, but this lack might well be remedied by this spring if enough interest were shown. But, surely the events planned under the auspices of Arts Council should not be lim- ited to our own campus. Further co-oper- ation with Haverford would be beneficia both institutions, as would more-extens.. . contact with such near-by colleges Swarthmore and Princeton. A mostexcit- ing project would be to set aside a week- end: during which student-written plays could be put on by Bryn Mawr students, in conjunction with students from one or more additional schools. A second plan along this line could be modeled on one found at Princeton, known as ‘‘Response Week- end.’’ This program entails the importation of eight or* ten speakers who lecture on a number of varied fields, including art, poetry, and television and film-making. Again, two or three days could be set aside, involving the most welcome sup- port from other near-by student bodies. In short, then, I feel that the role of Arts Council is an important one, one which could become yet more important and exciting by means of innovations such as the ones above, Betsy Kreeger The purpose of Arts Council at Bryn Mawr is to provide non-academic, artis- tic entertainment on campus, and to pro- vide the opportunities for creative work on the part of the students in the college community. There must be no limit to the requests made of Arts Council, And Arts Council, in turn, must have the ingenuity to fulfill these requests as com- pletely as possible,. although working a- round a limited budget, The suggestions must originate from the (Continued on page 6) ae ree _ Page Four ves & THE COLLEGE NEWS Friday, March 3, 1967 ' selves, __ tions ELECTION STATEMENTS FOR Self-Gov Beth Chadwick What with the proposed Constitutional Revision and the liberalization of Haver- ford’s ‘*women in the rooms’ “policy, the tone this year at Bryn Mawr is one of change, It is a time for question- ing, time to take another look at the rules we have set up to govern our- But as we reconsider, it is important that. we look beyond the vary- ing length of hemlines to an appraisal of the whole nature of what we are trying : to do, It is not so much a question of keys or extended hours as of the implica- of these proposals; their ef- fectiveness would depend not only upon student responsibility but upon the degree of respect and trust which stu- dents -would: ‘be willing. to accord each other. Thus the issue this year is really nothing new; it has to do with the nature of the Bryn Mawr community. Taking each other into consideration, how do we create a possible working. re- lationship? What sort of a place do we want Bryn Mawr (may I -see- some identification oh yes you’re a_ student at Bryn Mawr) to be? In terms of the community it seems to me that responsibility exists both among students and between the elected officials of Self-Gov and the students. As far as the casual student is concerned, self government may appear a net-work of rules, some of which restrict her, Yet those same rules, provided of course that they reflect the attitudes of the student body as a whole, can represent a way of surviving February together. The stu- dent who is unused to freedom accepts a little more, while the student who is unused to restriction accepts some of that, too; both realize that the rules exist not as a personal convenience but as a practical necessity. — What then have the elected officials to do? For one g, they should assume the responsibility of keeping in touch with the campus about Self-Gov. Asfreshmen most of us experience only the Self-Gov exam; certainly the emphasis should be on learn- ing more than the rules. Perhaps open discussions or mass meetings are the answer, yet I think we all will admit that during exam ~-week attendance at mass meetings would be likely to flag. At this point, as the elected representa- tives of Self-Gov keep functioning, it is important that the campus still be in touch with them; Self-Gov should not operate in a vacuum. When power is vested in elected representatives, cer- tain rules such as _ those so-called ‘undesirable’ statements regarding re- spectable accommodations or. drugs act strongly in the interest of the student, Interpretations of this kind, coming from and endorsed by the students, insure that there will be no arbitrary action on the part’ of a few. It seems far better to have a general statement, of any sort, than arbitrary gestures on the part of _ those in office. - ‘Are students apathetic because they - feel Self-Gov and any demands it may make are so unreasonable that they cannot ‘identify’ with them--or is it because stu- dents at Bryn Mawr are by nature completely and irredeemably apathetic? No- candidate could run on the second alternative, yet need one automatically ~yassume. the. first?. Let.there be change, _ but in terms of the community; let there be responsibility, but in a sense beyond the personal. Sages ganar cali try. Drewdie Gilpin , The role of Self-Gov,’ by which I mean not just the Board, but all of us as mem- bers of it, should be to encourage a development of each individual in the realization ef her own system of values. In the wake of the activity of the Con- stitutional Revision Committee, the chief discussion on campus is centered on the rules of the Self-Government Association. What is the function of a rule? A rule. defines a framework within which an individual is free to act as she chooses, hopefully establishing by her action a fuller realization of what she is. A Liberal government assumes a con- stant debate within and among individuals about personal values, for it is from this debate that responsible and considered use of individual freedom arises, The role of the group is to offer different and even conflicting ideas out of which an individual can synthesize her own system of values. By accepting the ideas put forth by the group.as worthy of consider- ation, the individual ends her alienation from the group and, injecting her own ideas, becomes an important contributor to it. An individual cannot consider her personal freedom as her private property, for Liberal government, as government of a group by itself, requires responsi- bility of individuals to each other and to the group. Only if we recognize this responsibility to each other can we just- ify not making rules for the weakest member of the group. Only by accept- ing a responsibility to work for the crea- tive rather than destructive use of their freedom can we make valid our estab- lishment of rules permitting a greater degree of freedom then that to which some girls are accustomed. Liberal government assumes, there- fore, the recognition by its members that the welfare of the group, in addition to the personal development of the indiv- ual is the goal of the:state. Liberal eedom does not mean complete absence ” of law, but the discovery of one’s own law, in accordance with one’s own welfare and the welfare of the group. Rules or laws can provide a framework in which self-realization may take place, but they cannot guarantee that-questioning and dis- covery will take place. While our present sign-out system allows us to be out until 2 AM, it does not legislate that we involve ourselves in active pursuit of self- knowlege in accordance with our best int- erests until that hour. The role which Self-Gov needs to play at Bryn Mawr now is to go beyond its preoccupation with the framework of rules, Rules, based on a consensus about what is the optimum level of freedom for the group, arise from a tremendously import- ant debate which should go on-constantly within and among individuals. The diff- iculty which Self-Gov now faces, with its .dilemmas about overnight signouts, the implications of the key system, and so on, is that the constant debate and the feeling of responsibility of individuals to- ward @ach other has broken down, Self- Gov. needs to provide catalysts for the creative use of freedom by individuals in their growth, Encouragement of in- creased interaction among people, suchas morning coffee hours and class lunches, is certainly important, The presentation to the student body as a whole of the dilemmas of Self-Gov., perhaps through a weekly column in the NEWS by. the Self-Gov.. president is another possibil- ity. For example, I believe that it is important for. every student. to realize, as I did not until last week, that there have been an inordinate number of aca- demic honor violations this year. The more students are aware of-problems of Self-Gov. and of the theorizing in which the Board involves itself, the more the students will feel a responsibility to the Self-Government'system. Self-Gov. néeds to provide increased opportunities for the student to give to it. As a catalyst to the debate on personal problems, a de- bate necessary to the functioning of Lib- eral government, I have long believed, as Judy Chapman suggested in the NEWS last week, that Self-Gov should spon- sor discussion groups in the halls in con- junction with the hygiene lectures. for the freshmen, In these discussions, fresh- men could sound out their opinions about sex, drugs, the meaning of emotional involvement, and other similar problems. The Self-Government system cannot and should not act as mother to the student body. The system is one in which students must move together toward a realization of their own individual values. The role of Self-Gov. is’ to encourage the most creative use of the freedom which we have, : Undergrad Lola Atwood The Undergrad President has three roles; to run these meetings, to cope with trivia and to represent the college, Her spirit and energy to encourage an active Undergrad, and her organization and competence to keep things running smoothly are the qualifications which really count. ; Something should be done about Under- grad meetings! There is no reason why they should be hateful. If all the trivia and operational details were left to com- mittees and to the president then meetings could cope with bigger problems. (There are plenty of interesting, important prob- lems to discuss in that hour.) The board should be well informed as to what is going on, what complaints have been made to a new Complaint Department and what problems the Big 6 are having. (for example, lack ofattendance and funds) Hopefully extras will come to VERYopen meetings to voice opinions. Undergrad isn’t just a sorter of trivia and a switch- board of communications -- that’s the president’s job. The Association itself is an initiating body and should act as such. Year before last the H’ford-BMC bus, the meal exchange, and telephones in the rooms went through via Undergrad. Measures like these have to be followed up and new ones encouraged. Given energy, problems, and a degree of power the meetings should have good attendence. The presence of the NEWS representative is vital but everyone is important. After all, the-communications system of Undergrad relies on the dorm reps who have the most opportunity and responsibility to contact their constitu- ency. These reps should be given more responsibility (and work) as. well as en- couragement to come to meetings. If all else fails to pull out a crowd, the food of lunch or dinner meetings can work miracles! The president herself is responsible for Smooth operation and communication with- in the Association, as well as for the spirit of its meetings. Therefore she must be well informed. Since she should be able to answer the enquiries of fellow students as well as outsiders she needs an updated calendar and a list of every- one who is in charge of anything. (With "plement them. The main hindrance to past cooperation has been inadequate organi- zation and- communication. This is the president’s job. As for specific issues: Tam AGAINST an enlarged May Day FOR a required NEWS subscription but_ AGAINST a general raise in Undergrad fees FOR the new Social Committee FOR an Undergrad Speaker every year we can find one FOR a new mimeograph machine (AGAINST abolishing Undergrad!) Patty Monnington Several months ago this paper raised the question of the abolition of Undergrad. Since then-I-have tried to.determine if. . there is indeed a need for this organiza- tion at Bryn Mawr. Undergrad is unique in itsmembership, for it is composed of representatives af all facets of undergraduate life, On its Executive Board sit class presidents, dorm representatives, Presidents of the big Six, the Editor of the NEWS, and” President of College Theatre. The fun- ction of this group is to coordinate the activities of the various bodies and to provide a forum for all phases of stu- dent opinion. Yet, there is, in addition, a wider role to be played. Students frequently complain that Bryn Mawr is not an ex- citing place to live. This is a challenge Undergrad must meet, because it is the students who are ‘the creative heart of Bryn Mawr . Three areas in which we may concentrate our efforts to achieve a more lively and enjoyable community are social, academic and cultural; In the social realm we can engender more excitement by sponsoring more div- ersified activities such as: 1. Coed trips to the zoo or the rr Institute 2. Bridge tournaments 3. Coordinated. activities such as bird- watching trips and frisbee matches joint- ly sponsored by the social committee and AA Problems in the academic realm could be solved by: 1, A committee to arrange reserve read- ing shelves at M, Carey Thomas Library for Haverford courses taken by Bryn Mawr students 2. Alleviating problems of buying books for Haverford courses at the Haverford book store 3. A free meal exchange which would allow all students to eat at either of the two schools at any time upon present- ation of matriculation card 4, Improving bus service-- running more frequently during exams, on week-ends, etc, 5. Enlisting faculty support of student pro- grams A more exciting. cultural life needs only the utilization of existing resources, for example: 1, Extending the efforts of Freshman Week by sponsoring small groups to the Phil- adelphia art museums, lectures, etc, 2. Investigating the possibility of a float- ing Art Series between Bryn Mawr and Haverford, and providing a more div- ersified program, with some events at Roberts and others at Goodhart.

Organization of theatre training groups on campus, offering instruction in lighting, set-designing, set-building,’ make-up, costuming, and perhaps dir- ecting, These workshops would be stu- dent-run, although the possibility of out- side intructors should not be ignored, if finances permit, V, Establishment of art workshops covering various creative realms: paint- ing and sculpting, as Arnecliffe and the Art Studio at Haverford already provide, machine shop work, and handcrafts, This is another area in which coordination with Haverford would be advantageous financially, as well as for provision of workshop locations, In these workshops, there is again the possibility of invit- ing guest lecturers, VI. Establishment of a system of committees within Arts Council, to pro- vide a concrete structure within which the organization as_a whole can operate, To achieve efficiency, there must be a specific committee, with a chairman, to . which a student with a specific idea can go. The key to a lively, constructive year sponsored by Arts Council lies necessar- ily in the students at Bryn Mawr. It is they who must suggest; and it is the student resources which a highly organ- , ized and tightly-run Arts Council must tap for a creative season on campus, Judy Masur There is a certain kind of Mawrter for whom: scholarship is only half enough, -who feels the need to climb out of her book now and then and create with her hands, with her voice, with her body -- to break from academia and paint a flower or sing an aria or tickle the ivories or proclaim Ionesco or pound a nail or run or jump or stand on her head in the middle of Merion Green and whistle DIXIE just long enough -- but at least long enough -- to be able to return to Spinoza refreshed. She is found all _. over the campus, and she takes two forms; . first, the girl who comes naturally to express herself through the arts and who will ‘‘find a way or make one”’ to do so, ~ second, the girl who hesitates to get involved in theatre or putter. around in watercolors because she feels she is not “talented’’? enough. Can Arts council become such an or- ganization, anticipating, working with, and stimulating activity in the arts? I think it can’t afford not to. There is a tremendous amount of un- confessed talent on campus itching (whe- ther it knows it or not) to manifest itself, to exhibit its wares. The problem is, it has no place in which to do this. There ~ is no reason why anyone who wants to produce a play (which, for one reason or another, may got be either College Thestro’s or Liltie Theatre’s cup 0’ tay) _ ghouldn’t be able to produce and ‘direct be a certain kind of organiz- of ‘Mawrter (both of her) : same time encourages these urges; one which assures all those who would doubt - their own ‘‘ability’’ or ‘‘talent’’ that the value of the arts lies not in the “per- | fection’’ of a finished product, but in the creation of that product -- in the doine,' not the thing done. Two years ago College Theatre or- ganized Sunday morning play-readings in the Common Room; perhaps this instit- ution could be revived? Why couldn’t there be a. one-act (original or pre-fab) play competition, announced in September with the winning productions to be chosen sometime in the spring? And the: program in the graphic arts should be expanded as well. Granted, Mr. Janschka’s art lab is open to anyone who feels the Inclination on Thursdays and Fridays from 2-6 in the afternoon, but how: many people actually know about it (since only one small announcement is made at the beginning of the year), or about what facilities are and aren’t avail- able there? (For instance, what’s Haver- ford got that we haven’t got? In its new Arts Center, I mean.) What about open- ing the lab on Friday or Saturday night under student supervision and with the stipulation that absolutely all messes, artistic or otherwise, Be cleaned up by their creators before said creators leave the premises? I think there should be a permanent (albeit rotating) student art exhibi- tion -- why not’ in the Inn, whose ‘walls are now noticibly devoid of aes- thetically satisfying material (yes, I know there are prints there). This exhibition should be made open to the ‘‘beyond- the towers’’ public, as well as to the stu- dent body, as a place to browse and per- haps to buy. Whatever happened to the Friday-night- at-the-Inn-hootenanny-C offee-House pro- posal which was discussed and roundly approved of at the beginning of this year? If enough Bryn Mawr-Haverford partici- pants are willing (nay, eager!) to or- ganize and perform a program of folk (or why not also rock?) music free for nothing, there should be a place where they can do it. But perhaps you are saying: what about the conscientious OBSERVER? Is there no support in sight for her? Ye of little faith! of course there is. For instance, it is altogether possible that the present movie series could be doubled in scope and yet not in price. If Haverford can offer more than forty movies for $10 how is it that we can offer only ten movies for $4? Moreover, if we expanded our series to a twice-weekly basis, more. people might be willing to subscribe, and increased subscription would naturally result in more and/or better movies, and , so on. And why not Happenings a la Thomas - P, (NYC ex-Parks Commissioner) Hoving? And why not a Fingerpainting Festival? And why not a knock-down-drag~’em-out Charadescapade? Why not? ; How about it? Bring on those urges. Curriculum Carole Collins The Curriculum Committee was formed to act as a liaison between the administra- tion, the faculty and students; to serve as an ‘information center’ for incoming stu- dents; and to formulate proposals which represent the views of the student body concerning changes within the academic system, which can then be presented to the faculty for. joint consideration and/or action, In order to act as liaison, the Commit- tee must establish adequate channels of communication between the faculty and students so that each’ becomes aware of the goals and problems connected with their respective functions in the academic community, The Curriculum Committee must fulfill its potential as an ‘information center’ much more actively than it has in the past, One possible solution is the establishment of a central file containing the evaluations by departmental majors of their respective departments and courses, which would supplement the official descriptions of courses in the College Catalogue, This could serve to inform the incoming stu- dent more thoroughly of the demands a course will make on her abilities and time and make her’ aware of many -orevicnely... Friday, March 3, 1967 : Coctleuluies Carole Collins, Susan Nosco, Nicky Hardenbergh, Maigeeet Levi. source of firsthand information about courses and ‘departments, The Committee must be able to formu- late and present to the faculty and the. administration concrete, workable bre posals which are a synthesis of stude complaints, desires and needs, Moré.must be done to adequately ascertain student opinion on academic matters, either through increased dorm. activity or campus-wide discussions and debats, In formulating and adapting a specific pro- posal, faculty and students should be con- tinually consulted throughout the entire process as to attitudes towards proposed modifications and/or revisions in thepro- posal and the present policy at that time, As to specific proposals I may have, I would suggest the institution of self- scheduled exams (with necessary modi- fications for ‘slide identification’ courses) as a necessary, practical and beneficial expansion of -the Honor System; more exchange of courses, if possible to arrange, between the University of Pennsylvania and BMC; some system of credit instituted for those in music or other arts who must expend much of their time in extra-cur- ricular training necessary for continued work in their respective fields after gradu- ation; and the institution of an optional ‘pass-fail? system for fifth courses, on a trial basis, which would hopefully en- courage students to take courses outside their general areas of studies or require- ments without jeopardizing academic av- erages, Nicky Hardenbergh There seems to be a distinct lack of communication on this campus between the administration and the students (and among the students themselves) about the rationale behind academic decisions and policies, and particularly about the flexibility of these policies. The Curricu- lum Committee should try to impress upon the students its function as a channel through which their ideas, recom- mendations and criticisms on academic matters can be transmitted to the ad-. ministration and faculty. Many ideas for academic improvement are entirely feasible, and students should realize that the place to present these ideas is in the Curriculum Committee, which can then determine: the practical considerations of how the proposal could be implemented; the existence of student support for the proposal; the objections, if any, the faculty and administration may have; ways to overcome the objections; or conversely, reasons why they cannot be overcome. The dorm representatives would be responsible for communicating all this information back to the campus.. The Curriculum Committee Can be effective in exposing and eliminating much of the discontent on campus, and can be ex- tremely dynamic, if the student body is willing to both initiate and support proposals, and if the committee can co- ordinate and present these proposals well. The following are some proposals I ‘would like to present. One important problem is that of giving the entering freshmen relevant information about the . various courses and major fields. I think ee eee ener sneaks seestves ‘ ‘ odie aaiee at K eaanes men available to discuss courses with frehsmen, and to make freshmen aware of this. Work has already been started on having seminars for freshmen, taught by graduate students. These seminars Would be inter- departmental, would fully familiarize stu- dents with the different disciplines, so that they could make a more active choice of major, instead of majoring by default, as can happen. Regarding the calendar and exams, I would like to have a definite reading period for both semesters, and some form of self-scheduled exams which would be agreeable to faculty and students and which would allow for a longer inter- cession. These ideas, of course, are only a part of what the Curriculum Committee could hope to accomplish with the active support of the campus. Margaret Levi Although the ratio between students and professors has not risen significantly at Bryn Mawr during the last few years, the number of students in actual, non- statistical classes certainly has. This problem is due in part to the fluctuating popularity of some departments, in part to the growth of the graduate school and the increased demand on the prof-. essors’ time which that incurs. TheCur- riculum Committee, as the liason between students, faculty and administration, could play a significant role in finding out just what is the cause of the dispro- portionate. class size and in coming -up with practicable alternatives and possible solutions to the problem. In order for the Curriculum Committee to do this kind of thing, however, it must first develop a clearer idea of its own role. As it stands now, it is seldom an adequate conductor of student opinion or an adequate presenter of student-form- ulated policy, although it has been and could be. If the students wish to see those measures passed which they feel are important, it is necessary for the undergraduates themselves to be educated about what they want and to be able to voice and defend their desires in an or- ganized and articulate fashion. The Committee can begin this process by getting opinions on what to do from the students themselves through discus- sions in the-dorms, suggestions by their representatives, and articles in the NEWS, Following this would be a review of the implications and problems inherent to each possible line of action. Then a plat- form would be drawn up and presented to the students for comment; if need be, a college-wide meeting of students, fac- .ulty, president, and dean could be called so that there would be a complete air- ing of objections, additions, and questions, The final step would be the presentation of the program to the appropriate fac- ulty committee followed by a renewed, . JOINT process of discussion and adjust- ment to faculty and graduate school de- sires and needs. This way the under- graduate would still have a say in the outcome. There are many problems which could be examined and perhaps resolved by this method: for example, the present counseling services and al- -ternatives, self-scheduled exams, poss- ible calendars, additional courses, How- ever, there are some problem areas which _ (Continued on following page) ~ 2 9 we Friday, March 3, 1967 THE COLLEGE NEWS Page Seven (Continued from preceding page) might be better handled in another way. For instance, the majors and faculty of a department would work together without this campus-wide System to decide what kinds of courses were needed in that de- partment and in what fields new professors should be hired, — The Curriculum Committee has fantastic potential for enabling the . Students not only to actively ex- press their concerns but also to actively participate in alleviating the problems they see. Hopefully, some of these suggestions will lead in that direction. Susan Nosco The purpose of Curriculum Com- mittee is. two-fold: to serve’ as the spokesman for student opinion,- acting as a liaison between facul- ty and students, to provide the faculty with the campus consensus on academic programsand policies . under faculty consideration; to serve as an initiator, as a source of proposals, and as a channel through which matters .of aca- demic concern within the under- graduate community may be com- municated to the Faculty Curricu- lum Committee. In performing its functions, the Student Curriculum Committee must be constantly re- evaluating the academic situation within the college in relation to the changing néeds and interests of the college community, always seeking ways in which to adjust the institution, ways to meet most satisfactorily the demands of change. The Student Curriculum Com- mittee could and SHOULD be one of the most active bodies’ on cam« pus. There is no lack of dis- satisfaction on campus with -the academic situation asitnowexists. Nor is there any lack of programs to. bring about constructive, val- uable change. Pass-fail courses, non-major fields, as fifth courses; project courses, per- mitting study in depth in areas of interest; an arts and services pro- gram, along the lines of the Hav- erford program; extra-curricular instruction in art and music, or- iented toward appreciation and/or application; a set procedure for instituting new courses; interde- partmental seminars at all levels; these are only a few of the pro- grams which may be explored. Programs directed at calendar change, at self-scheduled exams, and description and evaluation of various courses and course areas to aid the-student in choosing both courses and a major should con- tinue to be explored. To aid in communication, both ~ within the Bryn Mawr College com- munity and without, various liai- sons might be established.

The mo ‘the College as a "skate and not specifically the Political | =i tions, new programs or just new ideas, ~ To act as the spokesman of stu- dent opinion, as the initiator and the channel of initiation for ideas and for concrete proposals con- cerning students’ academic needs and interests, as an active parti- cipant representing the student community in academic policy- making by faculty and administra- tion, the Student Curriculum Com- mittee must be ‘strengthened and expanded, increasing its commun- ication and its influence in the student community. By becoming awere of campus opinions and in- terests, by formulating programs to meet student needs, and by gain- ing student support, the committee will be in a position to act as an informed, _ influential, spokesman for students on aca- demic issues, . The committee is characterized by organizational fuzziness, oper- ating without a constitution, with- out a widely-known, widely-under- stood, carefully articulated pur- pose, and without an adequate con- ception, either within the commit- tee or within the student com- munity, of the.area or extent of Curriculum Committee jurisdic- tion. The representative system has been either inadequate in num- bers or inactive in representation (perhaps it has been both), the re- sult being that the programs of the committee have been insufficiently communicated to the student body. The consequence has_ been that feedback from. students to com- mittee has been minimal, Within the committee, there is officially no second in command, no vice-chairman, the entire bur- den of the committee being borne _by the chairman, thereby not only limiting the scope of committee activities, but also forcing at best temporary--curtailment of commit- tee activities, should the chair- man suddenly be unable to con- tinue her role, Given the organizational dif- ficulties,; it is’ no wonder that Curriculum Committee has been unable to undertake a more exten- sive program. Organization, clar- ification, and expansion of the com- mittee’s operations are impera- tive if Curriculum Committee is to assume any degree of respon- sibility or to attempt any kind of positive action aimed at an ex- pression of student attitudes to- ward academic issues. The representative should be expanded, the number of reps from each hall being increased and allotted according to dorm populations, Not only will expan- sion increase the number of peo- ple to act as communications net- works between the dorms and the committee, but increased num- ‘bers will provide increased work- ing power within the committee, the ‘‘manpower”’ necessary in or- der to undertake a more extensive program, Organization can provide a flex- formation “and clarifying issues !>!¢ framework structured to meet the demands of the committee pro- gram, requiring various subcom- mittees to deal with specific prob- lems. . Clarification of the purpose and areas of committee concern will aid the definition of types of programs which Curriculum Com- mittee may undertake, aiding both students and faculty, as well as the committee, in determining on what matters and in what areas the committee may be expected, and in fact, demanded, to act. effective. e League Cheri Morin League exists for the purpose of making the student aware of social problems; of educating her to take an active interest in the community; of providing opportunities for per- sonal service; and of contributing in some concrete, effective way to the community, It is a social service organization which promotes cooperation and mutual understanding and provides support and direction for student action in response to the needs of the community, I am_running for League Presi- dent because I would like to take part in implementing these goals, My experience in League has been. chiefly in the area of the Tutorial Project--a fact which makes it difficult to gain an over- all perspective on League’s pro- grams, But these are the areas in which I would like to make changes or improvements, First, I would like to see greater co-operation with Alliance, In this day when economic, political, and social welfare concerns are intricately bound together I think system~ that there are many areas of mu- tual interest to which League and Alliance could direct their com- bined resources--in ways such as obtaining good speakers and spon- soring seminars and other infor- mational projects of high quality, Second, I would like to see a * closer connection with the School of Social Work, One of the objec- tives of League is to inform stu- dents about careers in the field of social welfare.

We. stared at the gaunt young singer with cheek- bones so high they almost hit his eyebrows and cheeks so coolly hollow they looked like shadows, Not to mention his great shaggy hair. ‘*How. can we--do-it???-we mut- tered feverishly. ‘‘Do we dare?” But we had little -choice--the Editor of the NEWS was counting on.us, and besides we’d bragged to so many of our friends already ' that we couldn’t back down now. So when the 10:00 show ended, we knew it was about to happen *-our interview with Eric Ander- sen was imminent. Nervously we crept downstairs, where entertainers at the Point spend their intermissions. ‘The place was empty. As we stood there almost in relief, we heard voices from a small room toward the back and realized that that was where we should be. Fearing that he might be resting or naked, we stood uncertainly in the middle of the floor, whimpering ‘‘Hello’’ and wishing that we were some- where else, Gathering her last flakes of courage, Marcia called tremulously, ‘‘Mr. Andersen?’ (calling ‘‘Eric”? seemed too inti- mate and shouting ‘‘Eric Ander- sen”? was OUT of the question.) He heard us, told us to come in, and-we knew that escape was no longer possible, When I first found out that Marcia and I were todo this inter- view, the questions I planned on asking were (1) Did you get my letter? and (2) Who is this Debby Green who played the guitar on your second album? After that, I just hoped we would be able to think of enough questions to fill the time, Finding questions turned out to be hardly the problem, The difficulty was finding enough time to get in all we had to ask and all he had to say. Anyone who has heard his records and then saw the show this weekend would un- derstand why the topic that dom- inated the interview was thefolk- rock trend; in music and more particularly in Eric Andersen. We were especially interested in the statement he made during the show to introduce one of his newer songs, more rock than folk; ‘I know what you’re thinking,’’ he said, ‘‘he’s sold out, he’s gone over!”? So we.asked him why he said it--did he feel guilty? Had people been accusing him of defecting? The truth is that he doesn’t feel guilty-at all, although he knows there are staunch tra- ditionalists who will refuse tolis- ten to anything but pure folk (and these days they’ll have a hard time finding that) and this makes him Andersen that it did give a deeper, richer sound and was, on many songs, more expressive. People seem to want a balance.of oldand new, but he said that it’s hard to decide what songs to do when you’re limited to about six ineach set. We asked how he felt when he had finished a show--tired, glad it was over...? He said that normally he wants to keep playing because he just “gets . into the groove of a show’? when he has to quit, The discussion of folk-rock led to the album he cut this summer and which Vanguard is just re- leasing, called ‘**Bout Changes ‘and Things, Take II.”* This record was made for release in Britain, and is composed of the same songs found on his second American album, ‘** ? Bout Changes and Things.” He seemed a little worried about the reaction of the public to this record, fearing that his fans would feel cheated or misled. The main difference be- tween the two albums is that ‘Take II’? is the folk-rock new band version of the previous al- bum and was not originally de- signed for sale in America, He does, however, have a fourth and brand new album coming out Can Alley.” This’ wi last Vanguard record after which he will switch to a new label-- perhaps Columbia or R.C,A, Vic- tor, although he has not yet per- manently decided. When questioned about his con- cert program, Eric told us that he hopes to extend it soon, and adelphia, ~When I saw him at the Point inOctober, it was announced that he would be doing a concert at Philadelphia’s Town Hall in December. But December came and the concert didn’t. I asked him why and he said, .‘‘I knew I wouldn’t be able to fill the hall,?? His theory is, if you’re going to do a big concert, do-it, if you. can’t, don’t try. Not only is it depressing to the performer him- self to play to a half-filled house, but you’re also, he feels, cheating the contractor and wasting the time and efforts of the promoter, (And it’s not too good for his own reputation, either.) ‘‘Besides,’® he said, ‘‘I hate Town Hall. It’s a graveyard.” He said that if he does do a concert in Philadelphia, ‘he’d rather do it at the Academy of Music than at Town Hall, It’s more alive. We asked Mr. Andersen if he had ever had any formal guitar lessons, ‘‘No,’’ -he said, ‘‘I taught myself when I was about 13.7 He used as models old 45’s -- calypso, Elvis Presley. In fact, one of the songs on his second album, ‘‘That’s Alright Ma- ma’? was an old Elvis song.

Our moment ofglory wasdraw- - ing to a close as we heard the first part of the show (Robby Robinson) ending above us. Em- barrassed, but determined not to let the chance go by, I handed him the record jacket from * ‘Bout Changes and Things?’ which I had been clutching on my knees under a Mozart record I was taking to a friend, mumbled, “I hate to be a teeny-bopper, but could you, I mean would you....? and gave him my pen, ‘The real reason is out,’? he said, ‘‘Autographs, ha! Little did I. know the trué reason.” But he must havelikedsigning it, because he then took my friend’s Mozart record and signed ‘‘Mo- zart’’ and, after some thought, added, ‘‘Alias Eric (Flash) An- dersen,’?' when I suggested ‘*Wolfgang’’, he laughed, added a Sings of Frustration, Violets, and That's Alright — “Ww, handed back the records, and the interview was over. Stumbling upstairs, blinded by the radiance of the miracle (‘we DID it’?) we ran into our photographer who had justarrived and, since Eric was right behind us, she asked him if he would mind if she took a few pictures. He didn’t, and so she did -- with him sitting between Marcia and me with his. very arms around our very shoulders, and Marcia’s very glasses on his very face for a few minutes -- while our very dates coldly stalked out the door and sulked in the car. It was really ending at last. The best part was that he proved to be engaging off stage as on-- he’s not protesting. His only *protest song’’, “16-year Grudge’’, he laughingly introduc- ed as ‘fa song of teenage frus- tration and deep social signif- icance.”? One of his best-known songs, ‘‘Violets of Dawn’’, with its poetic beauty is far more his style. He makes contact with people; no matter. what the style he gets through to them. And his striking good looks are even more so in person (my contact lenses melted). Just before we left, ‘‘Hey,’’ he said, ‘“Younever asked me the major influences on my life!” Realizing our unfor- givable error, we hastened toask. ‘¢Pat Boone,’’ he replied. { LA 5-0443 Parvin’s Pharmacy James P.
