Knitting and Profs
Are Oil and Water

by Donnie Brown, ’57

Knitting and professors often
This is obvious when
a lecturer pauses so

may recover her knitt\
that has dropped with a ‘tinny clat-.
ter. A tendency toward a stultify-
ing standstill: is only one of the
reasons the two are not compat-
ible.

It is somewhat difficult to follow
the intricate mathematics of a
ski-sweater and; the Mendelian
theory at the same time. Under-
standably, if one were knitting a
collegiate scarf, one would be
thinking about Yale or Princeton,
not dips and strikes, not Doyne or
Toynbee. uy
, An admirable way to rise above
ithe clack @f knitting needles in.
alia is to become oblivious to the
audience, as. Miss Chowning says
she can, This way the professor
can concentrate on the notes and
ignore the petty things like gigg-
ling, note passing and knitting. On
| the other hand there are professors
whopare troubled, as Dr. Dryden is.
They have to overcome their aver-
sion to manifestations of mater-
no-domicilieal functions. and condi-
tion themselves to the fact that
people will knit in class.

There are some classes you
don’t dare knit in, even if your
little man’s birthday is next week
and you’ve only: begun the Ar-
gyles. But on the whole’the pro-
fessors seem not to shudder pro-

don’t mix.

about eighteen, and there is a con-
sequent discrepancy. between action
and response.

Six poems and two stories: is
that all? Once again I will-swear
there is more good work hiding
out in Bryn Mawr? Where is that
sestina I saw last April? Where
are the sonnets that suffused Oc-
tober? Where are the keys. to-all
those locked cupboards? Where is
the mimeographed, underground,
savagely derisive opposition line,
the Anti-Counterpoint? Where are
the--signals- of - arrogance, the
soaped window, the carnival tent,
the strings of firecrackers?

The question remains, what
could a college literary’ magazine
be?. That question really might’’be
put to any number of enterprises.
To a college theater, perhaps... Or
to a “college news”: in a large
community, a university, where it
had to fight for even passing at-
tention, it could be almost what-
ever if cho8é tobe, free of the bur-
dens. of conspjicuousness, In a
smaller community (to judge from
performance) it probably has to
accept the perfunctory role —of
court circular. But. not in all re-



hibitively at knitting, and it is a
good excuse not to take lecture
notes.

Lack Of Variety And Material In ‘Counterpoint’
Make Readers Wish To See More Campus Talent

spects: when Counterpoints are
published and opinions are called
for, this soi-disant “College “News”
might assume a real responsibility,
assert itself, register student crit-
icism. It might offer its own opin-
ion; it doesn’t (I might in the cir-
cumstances ungraciously add) have
to turn to outside authority to do
what could be one of its own useful
jobs. The -Counterpoints of this

world would profit by, the judg-
ment of’a~peer.
