Every day, he fills out a report form listing the number of students on each run between Bryn Mawr and Haverford, and whether or not he has made a double or ‘triple run. Every week, he turns in these re- port slips, and every week the secretary in Mr. Truck’s office files them away. : The NEWS discovered that these forms were for all practical pur- poses thrown away when Mrs. Whelihan expressed surprise Wed- nesday to learn that the bus was crowded. ‘Neither the president’s office, nor the deans’ office was aware that there was any problem with the bus. Mr. Klug, the col- - lege comptrdiler, said that the **routing of the forms (is) certain- ly under my direction,’’ but he also said the overcrowding caught him by surprise. The overcrowding leads to more than double trips. (Harr. says that sometimes he has to work right through his lunch period.) It leads to students standing up as the bus lurches over the ruts and ‘ es in the road. Last week a soy standing in the back was thrown which each’school on College Bowl against the back window and broke is allowed to give will be excel- 44 lent ‘ publicity, to some girls to come here. ‘Harry says he makes from six to Fridays is especially crowded. He usually has to make a third trip to take the 59 students who make the run.

This week, however we think that the bungling with Harry’s reports of his crowded bus is a serious error. ‘This is a small college, and it is kept that way partly to add a dimension of humanity to rela- tions between administration, faculty and students, And yet it seems that within the administration alone there is a bureaucracy (one of the most in- human of man’s creations) so big that reports never reach the only offices which are empowered to act on them, : This is the kind of action we can expect from a multiversity, or the federal government. .

B. ee | MHS Green Stamps It seems to us that Marriott Hot Shoppes are very poor businessmen, In addition to keeping the Inn open at irregular and inappropriate hours, they plan to institute a payment system which will certainly not attract many customers. The charge system is a well-established insti- tution of the capitalist world; any good businessman will tell you that, Take a lesson from John Wana- maker, Did he get rich by making people count their pennies before they spent them? .. Patronage is not encouraged by forcing customers to be mee venienced by carrying around cash, The method which Marriott has chosen as a sb stitute. for charging does not have much appeal as an alternative. Buying coupon books at a minimum price of ten dollars each is a financial strain, and again inconvenient, - All the spontaneity of ‘‘dropping in to the Inn for a cup of coffee” is crushed by having to first rush back to the dorm to look for money or a coupon book, Doesn’t Marriott realize that credit buying means more ‘customers? What short-sighted policy on the part of a profit-making company! | We find this policy an inconvenience to all students, and unless Marriott really wants to discourage student patronage, we urge them to reconsider their plans for the College Inn. Speak No Evil N. M. Cultivation of the Bryn Mawr spirit seems once again to have preceded spontaneity of spirit. There is a rule in the Junior Show handbook requiring the deans to read the script of the show before it is cast, Although one member of the administra- tion thought that this habit isn’t important, the rule is still there. It is there, she said, to prune out anything which might be too ‘‘risque,’? and could embarrass the college. This year, one part of the show was criticized for being too ‘‘obscure’’; the - writers agreed, and worked over the passage. Further study reveals that Freshman Show, also is raked over by the deans, . What is the purpose of the class shows? We feel that they should show us how the class sees the world, what it thinks is important, and what damn- able, what it feels is fun and what it likes to do. The class should tell us about themselves in their own idiom -- risque, obscure, or clairvoyant, The college should be more embarrassed if the class had to say -- but conventional (though inof- eeenive) remarks about this and that.

The locksmith darkly hinted . that the College felt that open doors might assure that the Bryn Mawr image would: remain unsullied.

At the meeting of “the Undergraduate Association held at the College Inn on Monday, it was pointed out that this year marked the first time in the history of Bryn Mawr that no freshman had withdrawn from the college by the first day after ar- rival. Seniors Debbie Brown, and Patricia Monnington, who moderated the meeting, were chairmen of fresh- man week, Working with them was a large number of sophomores, juniors, and seniors, most of whom © arrived at Bryn Mawr on Wednes- day, September 13, to welcome incoming members of the class of *?1 the following day. Preparation Bonnie Cunningham, » and planning for the event, how- ever, began last May before the advent of the summer-vacation, with the selection of the welcom- ing committee and the assign- ment of various tasks such as the compilation of a freshman file in each residence hall by the hall president. The most important problem experienced during orientation week, believed the committee, in- volved the receiving of those freshman who arrived before Sep- tember 14, Many members of the incoming class, whether because of distance or other rea- sons, arrived on campus on Wednesday, September 13, thus. creating confusion by appearing before upperclassmen or the wel- coming committee had fufly completed preparations to meet them. Rooms were not all in readiness and upperclassmen ‘in many cases were too busy to be as cordial as they would have liked.

The theme of this year’s lectures is the creative copy and the lecturer is Professor Wolf- gang Stechow, professor of Art History at Oberlin College. The creative copy series is de- signed to illustrate the interrela- tionship of the arts, a favorite subject for Professor Stechow. The first lecture dealt with the crea- tive, copy-in.the-visual arts. Pro- fessor Stechow will also discuss the creative copy in music and in literature. The ‘creative’? copy is a copy of a master work in which the theme of the original has been retained. Emphasis is placed on retaining the atmosphere rather than the image. Thus, the copyist must. be somewhat of an artist himself and must have a great un- derstanding of the original artist. Herein lies the difference between a technical copyist and an artist: the copyist may reproduce the technical design to perfection and still lose the personality of the original; an artist may capture the feeling, sacrificing technical perfection. The latter result, though often altered beyond rec- ognition, is infinitely better. The spirit of any creation is more important than its form and harder to. capture. ‘Professor Stechow’s lecture was supplemented with examples pro- jected from slides. These illus- trated the profound difference be- tween a mediocre and an artistic copy. Most of the truly expressive copies have been done by well- Rowe, Humphrey Named To Offices ay Elected in last week’s sophomore class. meeting, Clarissa Rowe is BMC’s new social chairman and Dorothy Humphrey, traditions For the first time this year, the Social Chairman is a sophomore.

Some of the creative copies demonstrated had been done in a different medium than the orig- inal. Often the original merely provided a subject or theme which the copyist could expand and de- velop. Occasionally there is a dispute over which is the orig- inal; and in some cases the copy is a finer work than the orig- inal. The greatest copies are of #72 same period as the original. Since art is often a product of the times, ‘those , who would be best likely to understand an artist’s motivation and purpose are his contemporaries. Good copies done much later are generally what Professor Stechow termed ‘free adaptations” in which the copyist” has represented the mood, theme and subject of the original through his.own style. Ironically, the free adaptations have often been the most success- ful. Copies in a different style or medium have tended to remain more faithful to the original in capturing the essence of a mas- ter work: fits spirit. ‘‘We will keep on,’ the President declared--in spite of Buddhist demonstrations, in spite of the high taxes and unemployment in this country, Crawford pointed out, Johnson depends on the white middle class to support his policy in Vietnam, But even the middle class is hurt by the ills of society that Johnson neglects in his Asian involvement. Even they breathe the bad air of pollution and suffer bad health from the cigarettes sold so hard by Madison Avenue, White - men, too, are dying in Vietnam, and white children are forced into inadequate schools, Crawford stated that white America must begin to act in its self interest, also, * “But it is the black people of America who suffer the worse ills, To their basic needs, power means political power; organiza- tion in the ghetto to develop areas of black majority. It means economic power, or jobs, which could be supplied in the building of decent housing and schools, It ‘means the power of a new self- consciousness, of being treated as an individual having all the . dignity of humanity, There are black faces that belong on Mt, Rushmore along with (or instead of) Teddy Roosevelt’s, said Craw- ford, The» denial of black people’s “needs: has led some to the concept of ‘‘power now,’’ by armed conflict, which Stokely Carmichael voiced in Havana, Crawford claimed, The rise of various Negroes to respect- able positions in white Am- erica has actually been token, and has not changed the position of black people in the ghetto, The . government of __ this ccuntty is threatened by the Students Flock To Bryn Mawr: Some Languish, Some Flourish Bryn Mawr students are in re- markable agreement as to their reasons for choosing this school. Upperclassmen who were asked to recall their pre-freshman days echoed the sentiments of members of the class of ’71 -({interviewed for last. week’s NEWS) on this matter. Almost all said they want- “ed the advantages of a small, re- sidential school; close student- professor relations, small classes, a feeling of importance as an in- dividual rather than of submersion in a large group, the pleasant surroundings of a non-urban campus. The academic, reputation of the college was certainly a key factor for most, ifnotall, students. Many were swayed by Bryn Mawr’s location, in relation to either their homes or nearby cities. The tra- dition of liberalism -- social, poli- tical, and academic -- was also mentioned as an important reason for coming to BMC, How do these ideals change after one, two, or three years at Bryn Mawr? Are the reasons for coming here .still valid for most students? One frequent comment by upper- classmen was that Bryn Mawr isan ivory tower. Not all students support this; many feel that life here is as ‘‘real” as anywhere else. Among those who find this image reflected by the college, however, most are critical of it. To the active student, the feeling of being cloistered may be stifling. This opinion was expressed by one girl who left Bryn Mawr because it was ‘* passive and intellectually stagnant” for lier. _in relation to major fields. The opposite _ hy asseabdk Whoa ao aaniues that sad Mawr had an - To here it is a ‘‘haven of learn- ing.?? Another criticism expressed by a number of people was the lack of a broad curriculum. This is often cited as an inherent disadvantage of a small school and is perhaps overlooked or disavowed by those who choose such acollege. To an extent the problem is dependent on the’ choice of a major subject; one science major said she probably would have been better off ata larger school, but students in other areas found no such difficulties. In the «former case the narrow choice of courses was largely miti- gated by close professors in the department and by small classes (although one junior was displeased by the fact that her. 200 and 300 level classes were frequently as large as intro- ductory courses). Supposedly the problem of a limited curriculum is further offset by cooperation with Haverford, However, many students arefinding this to be a token freedom at best. Restraints are particularly obvious In many departments where different approaches are taken at the two schools, Bryn Mawr girls do not “receive major credit. for. the. courses they take at Haverford. Two girls interviewed also encoun- tered problems in fulfilling distri- bution requirements with Haver- ford courses. To many this isa flat denial of one of Bryn Mawr’s ‘major selling points -- inter -col- lege cooperation. Nearness to a pein is contact with. quiet, too isolated, One girl said, ‘¢you walk out on the campus at night and it’s completely deserted. Go into town and nearly everything is closed. Bryn Mawr has lots of pretty trees, but it could definite- ly use some of the activity and excitement of a city school.’’ Perhaps the greatest expression of disillusionment came from stu- dents who had minimized the draw- backs of a girls’ school. As with all the comments cited, this feeling (Continued on page 8) Marriott Bans Charge: Offers Coupon Books For Student Protection Instead of having food charges at the College Inn, Marriott this year is instituting a new coupon system where students may buy coupon books for $10 each on payday.

In the future, Crawford sees a sharpening along class lines within the black movement, between those who remain dedicated to changing social condftions and those who find livable conditions for them- selves, He sees a new relation to the white movement, which is now centered on changing the government’s attitudes and actions in Vietnam. Within this new relationship, black and white would work together for widespread changes, The goals of black power are identical to those of the whites, Crawford claimed, for both must serve the interest of the nation, Both must direct so- ciety away. from fascism and towards making it more livable, Finally, Crawford mentioned a relation between black power and guerilla movements abroad.

We believe that the rule Self-Gov has made is necessary because we wish to keep the jurisdiction over drug use on the campus within the hands of the Bryn Mawr students. In this way we are“free to deal with each case on its own merits. We are not convinced of the justness of. existing federal and state drug laws. Nor will we moralize on the issue of drug use. We recognize that the potential dan- gers of drugs are constantly in question. As Executive and Advisory Boards we intend to keep ourselves and the campus informed on the current dialogue about Imedical and psychological effects of drugs and to use this information in our decisions. President Opposes Statement, Wants Emphasis On Students Although I believe that there are sev- eral reasons why Self-Gov should make a drug policy, I do not believe that the state- ment proposed achieves what I see as the purpose of a student policy. Drug use is a difficult problem for a stu- dent government because it involves com- plex legal, medical, and psychological questions, The effects of certain drugs, marijuana particularly, have not been con- cretely proven harmful, yet the law deals with marijuana in the same way it does heroin, Much as I may deplore the severity of such a law, I realize that Self- Gov must recognize its existence, More- over, any action we take will exist in the context of Miss MecBride’s demand, mailed to all students this summer, that a girl ‘‘not plan to return to Bryn Mawr unless she is convinced that she will not be using drugs,’’ Thus, a Bryn Mawr student taking drugs is already poten- tially accountable to twopowers, thepolice - and the college administration, Why does Self-Gov feel it must establish itself as a third? First of all, if Self-Gov takes drug use under its owt jurisdiction, there is a great likelihood that any drug problems will be dealt with before they become severe enough to attract administation or police attention and result in sanctions as severe as both the law and Miss McBride’sstate- ment seem to indicate, Secondly, be- cause Self-Gov Boards are made up of: students, we are likely in many cases to become aware sooner than is the admin- istration or the law that a student’s drug use is becoming a drug problem, threat- ening to her and to those around her, If drugs are within our jurisdiction we can then act on behalf of the student. If a student becomes aware of drug use by others which offends or upsets her, and if there is no Self-Gov policy, that stu- dent has no recourse but to go to the police or the deans with her complaints, Few students, I believe, would be eager to take either of these courses of action, yet such a problem might not be soluble on the level of the individuals involved, Self-Gov should be the body to deal with such a situation, Drugs in Other Places With such a view of the purpose of a Self-Gov policy, I am not happy with the statement which the Self-Gov Board has: proposed for constitutional amendment, : By stating ‘‘No ... drugs on... campus,’ I believe we defeat the purpose of our taking jurisdiction over the drug question, ‘Such a statement would result only in Te tee, Chore anaes eae other places, where Self-Gov can maace: law or behalf of no. ova defation ot jur-. to-a simple unavoidable question of an illegal act punishable in a prescribed. manner, I believe the statement proposed does. not say what we mean, This is evident in the failure of the explanation printed in the NEWS to lead logically to the statement it is meant to explain, Self-Gov is proposing that the state- ment ‘‘No .., drugs ... on campus,”’ * pe placed in the constitution, In several years, only this phrase, not the explana- tion of our intention, will remain, New. Proposal I believe that a statement expressing more nearly what I see as our intention would be more appropriate. We are con- cerned that individuals who develop pro- blems as a result of drug use get proper psychiatric help, We are concerned that social pressure not be placed on students to take drugs, We wish to maintain an atmosphere in which serious academic work can be done, ._We hope to educate students about drugs and their potential dangers. We do not want to see stu- dents prosecuted by the extremely harsh drug laws, I believe that instead of the statement and explanation now proposed, Self-Gov should say: Because drugs are illegal and po- tentially dangerous physically and psychologically, Self-Gov- will deal with every case of drug use by Bryn Mawr students which comes to its attention, on the basis that illegal actions within a community pose a threat to the continued existence of the community and that actions po- tentially dangerous to individuals are potentially dangerous to the com- munity in which the individuals live. Drewdie Gilpin President, Self-Gov A Self-Government statement, two col- lege communities _ and * seasatigaani of Se student opinion vee sy . Last Friday, Self-Gov re posed statement which ee the use, possession and distribution of specific drugs on the Bryn Mawr campus, Be- - cause of the medical, social and per~ sonal implications of the drug issue, a . diversified sampling of Haverford and Bryn: Mawr student reaction ‘demands careful evaluation. — Certain questions requiring adminis- -trative clarification arose over and over again in the sampling. Mrs. Dorothy Marshall, dean of the college, spoke for the administration during Miss McBride’s trip to New York early this week. In reference to the frequently asked question of who really has final authority in the area of drug abuse -- Self Gov or the administration -- Mrs. Marshall ex- plained, ‘‘Self-Gov is traditionally totally autonomous. Its record of independence is 100%. In some areas, however, coop- erative action is needed between Self- Gov and the college office. This was emphasized when the present Honor Sys- tem was adopted. The articles on this page and part of the next have been de- signed by the NEWS. to give a clearer idea of the kind of thinking about drugs the Self- Gov statement has created, both on this campus and at Haverford, The NEWS reprints the exact statement and the explanation at left for easy reference. ‘“‘A long time ago, the college made a ruling on drinking, but Self-Gov has taken the few cases of intoxication into their hands. Similarly there are some areas, such as the suspension or exclusion of a student from the college community, in which Self-Gov can make recommenda- tions; but in which, according to the Charter, only the president of the college can take action. “Tf a situation came to the attention of the administration and was a situa- tion which really belonged with Self-Gov, the dean would ask the student to go to Self-Gov. In a drug situation, Self-Gov might very well make recommendations to the administration,’’ she continued. In the matter of legally privileged com- munications, Mrs. Marshall emphatically stated that all conferences with campus medical officials were legally confidential and could not be used against a student. Conversation with administrative offi- cials, however, could never be considered LEGALLY a privileged communication. If a case of drug abuse should ever occur at Bryn Mawr, Mrs. Marshall said, oF F are 2 WO “We mech ala the. > gtrl get alg D would certainly try to do the most con- Structive thing we could for her. “The administration is certainly not an arm of the law, but' we can offer no more protection to a Bryn Mawr student than is provided for any other citizen. We would see, however, that all students stood equal before the law,’’ she sum- marized, Mrs. Marshall concluded, ‘‘I feel that Self-Gov made this statement because it did not want to leave solely to the ad- ministration an area of student life which should be in student hands.’’ Haverford’s Gene Ludwig, Haverford senior and president of the college’s Students’ Coun- cil, commented, ‘‘The Self-Gov state- ment and the explanation printed “di- rectly below it contradict each The statement is definitely” ‘prohibitive, and yet the explanation admits that Self- Gov is not convinced of the justness of the existing state and federal laws. The statement just does not have in its best interests the psychological developayent of the student.”” Agreeing with Ludwig, Bud Alcock, president of the Haverford senior class, Reactions ™ added, '* Te’ ‘statement was not iiearly as enlightened as: the explanation. The statement should have been given further study.’’ Another junior, Greg Sava, indicated, ‘Tt is just a restatement of the federal law which is unfortunately necessary. be- cause college students often consider themselves immune to national and state laws.’’ Sophomore John Bakke felt that the statement was ‘‘fairly arbitrary’? and Bill Miles °70 suggested, “The ruling is essentially the same as Haverford’s.’’ Although several. Haverford freshman responded with a noncommittal shrug of their shoulders, many frosh were eager to provide their personal reactions. Carl Horne considered: the statement ‘superfluous at this time’’ in view.of existent federal laws. Jay Chewning said, ‘“‘The statement seems more rigorous than Miss McBride’s letter, but the state- ment is just removing one location for the use of drugs; it is not removing the problem.’’ Bob Stewart ’°71 termed the state- ment ‘‘a good idea,’’ but indicated that if a girl will break a federal law to smoke pot, she will not hesitate to flaunt a Self-Gov ruling. Indicating that he had talked to many Bryn Mawr girls who were absolutely opposed to the use of drugs, Butch Cole- man °71 said, ‘‘There should be a rule pei the hard: stuff, heroin on up, but stuff like pot and amphetamines should be left up to the individual’s discretion.’’ Freshman Jay Hoenemeyer revealed, ‘‘Haverford has the right idea. This is a personal question, and no organization has the right to make a rule to cover the. personal choices of a large and diverse group.’? _ Kim Swent, also a frosh, said, ‘‘Pro- hibiting drugs at Bryn Mawr will push “the happenings over here to Haverford.” Agreeing that the statement will send girls over to Haverford if they want to smoke pot, Sophomore Bruce Lincoln was in definite accord with the state- ment and considered it ‘‘a’ sound ac- tion on the part of Self-Gov.’? Aspirin and Coricidin He did, however, add, ‘‘If proper con- sideration is given to the physical and mental well-being of the student, as- pirin and possibly coricidin should be allowed on the Bryn Mawr campus.’" - Mawrter reaction ranged from thought- ful questioning to total indifference, and a surprising number of students had not even read the statement. _Fridoy, October 6.1 iy: : ee Senior Judy Masur pointed out, ‘‘I in-, __THE COLLEGE NEWS hee Five photo by Bob Anderman Liz Thacher a laseuis the majority opinion on the Self-Gov Board. About - Self- Government Majority _ Decrees Drugless Campus The Self-Gov Boards have decided issue a policy statement on student drug use in addition to the one made by Miss McBride this last summer, because they feel that this is a matter which is proper- ly the responsibility of Self-Government, and in which the Boards wish to assert their jurisdiction. By assuming responsibility for campus drug problems, we give ourselves the prerogative to deal individually with dis- tinct situations. To some extent, an analogy can be drawn between the drinking rule and our position on drug use. Last year, the students decided not to change the drinking rule, but to simplify it to read, “No intoxicating beverages will be allowed on campus.” It was felt that alcohol on campus would not be conducive to a pro- ductive academic or social situation. Much the same can be said ofthe possi- ble use of drugs on campus. The sim- plicity of the wording of the drinking rule allowed, we thought, the greatest latitude for Self-Gov interpretation. Hopefully, this will be true of the current Self-Gov state- ment on drugs. The statement which the Boards have issued is not to be considered as either a reinforcement of Federal and State drug laws, nor as a repetition of Miss McBride’s letter to students this summer, but as an affirmation of Self- cramer This is the third time in two semesters that the NEWS has taken editorial space to com- ment on drugs. Things have changed since our very naive piece last February when we ‘admitted to not having tried drugs, but.urged students to rationally weigh the pros and cons of a drug experience, We were long on theory and non- existent in practice. | »-Our: second comment dealt with Miss McBride’s letter to students, in which she asked them not to return to Bryn Mawr unless they were ‘‘con- -vinced (they would) not be using drugs.’? We opposed that line of thinking for the same reason we now oppose ‘the Self-Gov statement on drugs, _ We do not believe that prob- lems can be solved by refusing to deal constructively with their existence.

Liz Thacher Vice President, Self- Gov © Televised Narcotics Discussion Proves Dull, Disappointing The extensive use of platitudes in a supposedly open and honest discussion of drugs on the campus was all too effec-- tively revealed last Friday che the MIKE DOUGLAS SHOW, A panel group, consisting of represen- tatives from Philadelphia-area schools, St. Joseph’s, Villanova, the University of Pennsylvania, Temple, Bryn Mawr, and Dr. Baird, from an addict center in Harlem, New York, had gathered with Mike Douglas as moderator to discuss the topic of. ‘‘Narcotics on Campus.’’ Drewdie Gilpin, Bryn Mawr’s represen- tative, however, found the program glar- ingly misnamed. Not only was the discus- sion limited to the campus use of mari- juana and LSD, neither of which are nar- cotics, but the participating doctor was -not deeply concerned with campus prob- lems. He refused to answer such specific questions, posed by Drewdie and the rep- resentative of Penn, as ‘‘Why is mari- juana any worse than alcohol?’’ ‘‘Has it been proven to be addicting?’’ ‘‘Is there any valid usé of marijuana as a means of heightening the sensibility for artists, for example.?’’ Dr. Baird confined his replies to the vague assertion that American youth doesn’t need drugs when it has God and country. Needless to say, Drewdie felt that practically nothing was accomplished during the fifteen-minute televised pro- gram. She also sensed that the representatives from St. Joseph’s, Villanova and Temple were not particularly aware of the extent of drug use on their campuses. Thus it was difficult to start a discussion, even off the air, on the common problems which colleges face, or to compare the gravity of the situation at Bryn Mawr with that on the other campuses. The University of Pennsylvania stu- dent, however, showed great interest, and provided a moment of levity when he rushed onto the set before filming, sar- torially elegant in an Ivy League suit, and breathlessly asked his colleagues, ” «Who’s turned on?’ Alliance Program Students . will reg their summer jobs in Washington D Common Room, ‘soulines 8:30 p.m. Arts Council Film “Zero for Conduct’?

Another disconcerting thing is that they think they can get away with it by purporting to play members of the intense, violent, but inarticulate younger genera- tion of Britain. é The plot of the movie concerns the development of pop singer Steve Shorter from fad to semi- messiah. He is ruthlessly boosted by backers and agents, who turn him from a protest singer into: a crowbar for young minds, de- humanizing him in the process until one sees that he is no longer a person but a property, and so on, and’ so on. Aside from its own triteness, there is a basic flaw in the treat- ment this theme receives: it is not allowed to unreel, but shoots out in great coils of action. When the movie opens, Shorter is al- ready the most popular enter- tainer in the world, and the radical change in his image -does not dc- cur gradually but is rather de- cided upon by. his press corps one day and accomplished the next. : Imperfectly conceived at best, the message of ‘‘Privilege’’? simply cannot survive this. Also, the character of Shorter, which might even carry a weak script.on its shoulders, is too patchy a combination of person- alities:. he is not glib enough for Food.... (Continued from page 1) local purveyors’ stock, Marriott was chosen.when Saga, last year’s caterer-in-residence, demanded a “substantial in- crease” in price, both this year and the next, ‘We didn’t want to pass this added cost on to the students,” explained college comptroller Paul Klug. Hf Saga returned, an esti- mated 10 per cent of the basic residence fee would have to be added, Klug, who searched all summer for a food service, considered some 20 companies and narrowed it down to four, One service considered was Stouffer’s , who declined to take ~ the contract since they had merged with Litton Industries and were moving their offices to Cleveland, “The company thought it would not be prepared, in the midst of re- organization to take on the food service here, Resumption ‘of the college-run- service, Klug explained would also be unfeasible since there is such a great problem with finding cooks and staff, Thethree-year contract ‘with Marriott was signed, but is cancellable atthe college’s will, according to Klug, “It’s a wait and watch propo- sition,” he noted, ‘‘Dollar-wise, we have a good contract, Thestu- dent food committee will be work- ing with Marriott, Also, Frank Dailey, who was with Saga last year, is back on campus to help out,’ According to Hess, Dailey will soon be director of the food service on campus, replacing Jim Zielinski, “Of ”* Klug said, ‘‘Marriott can’t everyone’s tastes at every meal, with more than 900 people to feed, three meals a day there is bound to be a poor meal sometime, What we’re aiming at is a good percentage of accep- _tance,’’ «It would be unfeasible to change food services in midstréam,’ he said, Marriott has made an effort a Beatle, too cosmopolitan for a Donovan, and too commercial for a Dylan. It is difficult to find a plane on which to sympathize with him. Visible in all of this is Miss Jean Shrimpton, portraying, as it were, an artist commissioned to paint Shorter. Reports tell us that when Terence Stamp, a man who should know as well as any- one the nature and extent of Miss Shrimpton’s talents, heard that she was making a movie he burst out laughing. It seems unneces- sary to embellish the criticism tacit in this. The picture of Short- er is clearly supposed to have the fascination of the one of Dorian Gray; Oscar Wilde, however, re- ° mains the creator of the most ‘captivating portrait in literature. Paul Jones plays Steve Shorter. He has all the emotional power' and several of the facial gestures of the stupid Smothers brothers. He pouts, he registers agony by throwing back his head and bar- ing his teeth, and he gives a look intended as mute suffering. It is certainly mute. The rest of the time he is content to look ill at ease. Miss Shrimpton tells him he has a ‘strange emptiness,’’ and she is a girl who should rec- ognize a strange emptiness like Bernstein recognizes middle-C. There are some very fascinat- ing things in ‘‘Privilege.’’ The~ color photography is almost per- fect, for example, and some. of Anti-War Movie To Demonstrate Berkeley March *‘Sons and Daughters,’’ a fea- ture length film about an anti- war march in Berkeley, Califor- nia, during the 1965 International Days of Protest, will be shown tris Sunday, O@ober 8, in Stokes Auditorium at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. The film is not merely a photo- graphic record of the march. The background of the anti-war move- ment at Berkeley is shown in political discussions between stu- dents, and in scenes of demon- strations in front of troop trains. Excerpts from a. teach-in which preceded the march are included. A police barricade which con- fronted the marchers and juxta- posed scenes of initiation into. the army bring the subject of the film -- and of the march -- frighteningly close to the aud- ience.

One day last spring Dickey took a leave from his job as Poetry - Consultant for the Library of Congress to join two young men from Tennessee in giving dulci- mer conéerts all over the South. ‘“‘Incognito,’? said Dickey in his room at the Deanery. ‘‘You know, _-with sun glasses.’’ 4 » * But. Dickey did not start play- ing the dulcimer because he was broke, Rather he went on the tour because he believes the dulcimer, along with the guitar and the ban- jo, allows him to communicate with the people playing the same instrument through the simple ex- ~ change of new songs and arrange- ‘ments. And the ability to give in an exchange is, to Dickey, the ‘most important aspect of life. Dickey carries his Gibson gui- tar with him wherever he goes, but he never mixes music with his. poetry during a reading. “Writing’s got to make it in its own way.’’ And, as Dickey does not mix his poetry with music, neither does he mix it with politics or drugs as do many of his contem- poraries in the arts. Part of a poem called: ‘‘The Firebombing”’ was published in the book WHERE IS VIETNAM?, but, said Dickey, “I wish I’d never gotten mixed up with that.’”’ He does not join poets like Robert Lowell in their dissent against the Vietnamese war. Dickey discugsed the role of a poet in society in the Common Room after his reading in Good- hart Sept. 26. A poet ought ‘‘not to propagandize for anything. But he should follow his own bent that he’s been granted insight into and follow that bent as imagi- natively as. he can.’’ Thus Dickey, although he may be describing the horrible effects of a firebombing, does not go on to condemn the Vietnamese war in light of those effects. He writes of his experiences but he does not ask his readers to accept those experiences as truths for judg- ing contemporary life. But Dickey’s lack of interest in propagandizing his views does ~not mean he has no opinions on ’ current news issues. He expresses himself vigorously on subjects from drugs to black power to the unrest of college youth. He dismisses the mind expand- ‘ing drugs as a tool for creativ- "ity. ‘I never saw any valuable SEEN work of art done under the ‘in- The southern. poet relaxes. : use of drugs, then at the same time the. critical faculty is dis- torted.’’ He believes both the increas- ing use of drugs and the dissent over the Vietnamese war are signs of ‘‘psychic unrest’? in the coun- try. “It is a tradition of youth to want to make a new heaven and a new earth, but will this generation be able to do it? I think this generation has the most potential effect, but you don’t do any good for the poor and the down-trodden of the world by ly; ing around in a pad.’’ The black revolution, believes Dickey, is ‘‘the manifestation of centuries of injustice. It is sim- ple revenge. AS long as the Ne- groes .live iia white environ- ment, they will have to keep ad- justing to the white mdn’s world.” Dickey thinks the Negroes should be given their own land within the United States. ‘‘I have a great deal mere respect for the Ne- groes, even the violent ones like Rap Brown, than the hippies.” Dickey was born and reared in Georgia. His long poems (‘‘It takes me a while to get around to what I want to say’’), his big stature and his immense vitality all make one want to associate him with another southen writer, Tho- mas Wolfe.

It was only after World War II that Dickey decided to become a poet; Since his graduation from Vanderbilt University, he has writ- ten poetry constantly, working as a teacher and artist-in-residence at colleges in Wisconsin, Oregon and California. He has published five volumes of verse and is cur- rently living in Virginia with his wife and two children when he is not hitting the lecture circuit.

Jewish Discussion Group ‘67 Schedules Flexible Lectures With the coming of the’ new year, the Bryn Mawr-Haver- ford Jewish Discussion Group has resumed meetings. The first gathering took place in Applebee Bull Works, A Vital Newspaper, To Be Independant Weekly ‘A newspaper can be 4a ‘ glorious thing ... A newspaper is a holy thing.’? So begins and ends the first issue of ‘‘Bull Works,” The New Independent Weekly Pub- lished by .

Printed from the duplicat- ing machine’ in the library, it should be seen on selected bul- letin boards around campus. ‘‘Bull Works’? plans to ‘‘touch upon the vital, the topical aspects of the world.’’ It also proposes to tell students ‘‘of. the-few.truly salient events that occur here.” -In an interview however, Marina was unable to give one example of a topical aspect of the world or a Salient fact that the COL- LEGE NEWS, the ‘‘Haverford News,’’? the ‘‘New York Times” and the ‘Philadelphia Inquirer’ did not cover and which ‘Bull Works’? presumably would, / When asked why the first issue of ‘Bull Works’ was anonymous, and why some effort was taken to keep it an anomyous production, Marina answered that she ‘‘didn’t think it would be fair to put our names on it until we saw who else was interested.’”’ So far, Marina has found the work ‘kind of fun.”? There will be an organizational meeting soon, to ‘‘formulate policy.’’ Anyone in- terested in formulating ‘‘Bull Works’? policy is invited to con- tact Marina in Rhoads. : Se eldest! a a a am a : IN CONCERT . . * " THE 4 mw AggOC a we GMC.

The Class: of 1971's plays, pre- sented last Friday and Saturday nights, were not very different from plays of previous freshman classes, except of course in their references to current events (mostly LSD). There seemed to be more music in more plays this year, and maybe more puns, As always, the plays were judged -- this year’s panel consisted of Mabel Lang, Professor of Greek; Phebe Cooke, graduate student in English; and Kay Ford,. president of Bryn Mawr College Theatre -- and first and second prizes were awarded, to Rhoads and Denbigh respective- ly. These two halls deserved their prizes, but nearly all the other plays were certainly worth seeing. Friday night began with three musical-comedy parodies, the first of which was Pem East’s adapta- tion of ‘‘The Fantasticks.’ A Bryn Mawr-Haverford romance has been used as a basis for the plots of eountless Freshman Hall Plays, but it was revitalized through the smooth direction of Roni Ragatz and the clever script of Debby Seltzer, Jackie Decter, Holly Har- binger, and Carol Rollings, who were able to bring freshness to the old plot with their slapstick colle¢- tion of cliches. We thought that ‘Introductory “Love 101’? was a very strong contender for a prize. Deanna Lackaff was a good bunny, too. ‘Aardvark Time in Paoli,’’ Merion’s version of ‘‘Camelot,” featured a foul villain (with a pitchfork) called Haverhood and an heroic protector of pure woman- hood called Sir Applebee. Windi Depalma’s appropriate accompani- ment on the mandolin added to the medieval setting, as did the effec- tive costumes, The play was high- lighted by. the sensitive portrayal of a dragon (Sally Boyd, front half; Abby Davis, back half) and by a thrilling chase on aardvarkback. Puns ran rampant in ‘‘Oliver Erd; or, an Ionic Twist.’? Old Sally nearly ran away with the Paperback Of ‘71 Plays show. She was played by Michele: Archambault. Writer and Oliver Kim Hanson included some tren- chant commentary on the Marriott food service (‘*Please, sir, may I have some more amorphous green jello?*”) in her sad tale of an or- phan boy fallen in among evil companions at Barclay Inn, and then arrested for distributing what he thought was only pounds sterling (L), shillings (S), and pence (D). Rockefeller broke away from the Bryn Mawr-Haverford plot pattern with a political satire. In Atlantic City, contestants with such fami- liar-sounding names as Shirley Dimple, Charlotte Perky, and Ronnie Raving vie for the title of Miss America, with Carol Johnson as their unctuous emcee. Miss Michigan (Carol Graeber) expertly put her foot in her mouth, and Miss Bottom California, Trixie Dixon (played by Mary Schopbach in a ratty 1890-style black dress), ar- rived on stage saying cheerily, ‘‘1 bet- you thought that I had. died!”’ To the surprise of the contestants, the winner was a dark horse. Pem West began Saturday night with a ‘‘Fairy Tale,’ the familiar one of the prince who must dis- cover where three princesses dis-' appear to each night and why their. shoes are worn out when they come back in the morning. The amusing anecdote which preceded the actual play misled us for a while about the prince’s character, but we were certainly surprised at the end when he revealed that he was actually a frog in disguise. Anne Whitten, who played the prince (or frog), handled cloaks of invisibility and invisible sponges with equal finesse. Denbigh’s ‘‘Alice in Mawrter- land’, runner-up for the grand prize, was written ‘‘as a group effort?’ and directed by Molly Sloca, The taped musical background, en- gineered by Molly Sloca, Marian Stern, and Vivian Schmidt, added original and striking special effects, and provided a thunderous climax for their play which raised the standard Bryn Mawr-Haverford plot to cosmic proportions. Marian Stern gave a fine performance as Alice, asshe ‘‘skipped spastically” THE FUGS Book Shop = 11 STATION ROAD, ARDMORE, PA. 19003» » MIDWAY 9-4888 & + + » good eating at inexpensive prices : : et P, R.
