- Vietnam Summer ‘Sucesi
In Spite Of Local Efforts

“All we wanted was a crummy
little classroom,’’ said David
Bresler, Bryn Mawr psychology
graduate student and co-cordinator
of the Main Line Vietnam Summer
project, _

Last June, Bresler approached
the Bryn Mawr- College adminis-
tration for the use of one of the
classrooms in Dalton to hold a
meeting of about 60 people in-
terested in working on the Main
Line for Vietnam Summer. He
had a key to Dalton go there was
no problem of keeping a man on
campus to open and close the
building. The college, however,
turned him down.

‘Bresler pleaded with the Dean’s
office. Finally the office said
he could use the Common Room--
if he could provide $25 to pay a
man to unlock and lock Goodhart.
Thinking that the organization had
better ways to spend its money,
he turned to Haverford.

*¢] don’t know why I didn’t think
of it sooner.”? Bresler went on to
‘a tet Haverford rolled out

continued to use Stokes for meet-
ings throughout the summer,

It wasn’t only the college which
refused to help the project. The
Bryn Mawr Trust Company de-
clined toaccept Vietnam Summer’s
checking account,

After an initial refusal by an
official at a branch bank, Bresler
was allowed to talk with Mr. John
Paul, a..treasurer at the main
office. After almost an hour’s
discussion about the purposes of
Vietnam Summer on the Main Line,
Mr. Paul made an unconstitutional
demand to see a membership list.
The bank. finally decided that it
could accept the account if Bresler
could 1) produce a statement from
Vietnam Summer’s national head-
quarters in Cambridge that the
Main ‘Line group was indeed an
authorized group; and 2) elect two
more members to be directors.

Bresler spoke to Bob Brand,
Regional Field Secretary, who
stated that such a _ request
(for national authorization)
was ridiculous, each project was

For Two-year Trial

. AS a result of a proposal by
the Student Curriculum Committee
for the institution of self-sche-

The purpose ofhaving self-sche-

an opportunity to benefit from the
reason behind a final examination:
the chance to assimilate the mat-

New Haverford President.

Wants Change, Involvement

President John Coleman,
Haverford presents a dual image of
both an easy-going relaxed charm
and yet a very unrelaxed cdén-
cern for his new job.

In an interview with this re-

pepe last Tuesday, Coleman talk-
‘Haverford, Bryn Mawr and
oo pits the small college today.

He said that the small college
had no inherent advantages over
the large school, but that it had
more chances to make more
changes and innovations in edu-
cation than the large school. For
instance, curriculum change is al-
most impossible in a large school
and not in a small school, be-
cause of the sizé of the former’s
bureaucratic machinery. If the
small school missed these chances
for change it would be throwing
away its possibility for making
educational contributions,

The idea that change for change’s
sake is good is more true in edu-

that there is an atmosphere on
the campus which encourages ex-
perimentation among faculty, stu-
dents and the other members of
the administration,

In his Collection speech last
Sunday night, Coleman stated that
he wanted ‘‘to ensure that Haver-
ford is the best, liveliest, most
innovative, and most concerned
liberal arts college in the nation,”’
Tuesday he explained that he means
by ‘‘concerned’® the ‘‘relating of
knowledge learned in the college
to the most perplexing of man’s
social problems,’’ From his
former position at the Ford Foun-
dation, he discovered that there
was too great a gap between the
community and its problems and
the university with its skills,
knowledge and possible answers,

‘He believes universities must
find a balance between involve-
ment in society and withdrawal
from it, An example of the kind
of involvement he would like to see
more often is the case of the
atomic scientists, who, after see-

* {ng the bomb they had built, be-

It makes one wonder about the purpose of a college--
and of Bryn ‘Mawr in particular--to hear that the
Main Line Vietnam Summer project, headed by a Bryn
Mawr graduate student, was denied the use of a class-
room in Dalton (which was open) for a meeting,
and charged $25 to use the Common Room,

in, is more the policy of a hotel than of an intellectual
institution which seeks to understand the world around

_A liberal arts education should not focus only on
the values and ideas of our culture to be preserved
and upheld, It should face the problem of ‘that culture
and try to help students deal with them,

Mog: the college was thinking too much along the
of “it has never been done before,’’ and was too
cal fe tiasae of A cclieas ond
the. more conservative elements of the community.
Perhaps the Vietnam Summer Project could have ful-
filled a need in the kind of education we are pursuing here,

“Drug Use

“When a college, its administration and its student
body, is discussing drugs, it is groping. It is feeling
ite “way thegugh: & tid, and changing sltastion shout
which few facts are known.

Even the facts which are known seem-to cause dif-
ficulties. Outstanding are these two; 1) the hal-
lucinogenic and narcotic drugs (primarily LSD and
- marijuana) are illegal and the penalties are serious
and 2) possibly half the Bryn Mawr student body has
taken these drugs. Whether they will continue to do
so, and under what conditions they will do so depends
Se Se ae ee ce ee
and Self-Gov.

The first action to be considered is Miss McBride’s

“ Ietter to all students of August 25. It begins awkward-

ly and admits to confusion, but ends with an
absolute--‘‘She (the Bryn Mawr student) should hot plan
to return to Bryn Mawr unless she is convinced that
she will not be using drugs.” We wonder about
the purpose of this sentence. Was it seriously in-
tended that some students not return because
they weren’t sure if they might be using drugs some-
time during the year? Or was it meant to scare every-
body; Page so much that they wouldn’t return? Does

« it lay groundwork for possible expulsions during
the year?

United States Commissioner of Education Harold
Howe Ill said this summer on ‘*Meet the Press’’
that the proper reaction to a student using drugs
is not to punish him by throwing him out of school
and into jail, but to find out WHY he is taking drugs.
The school has a staff of psychologists to help stu-
dents with similar problems. - Why not this. too?
But Miss McBride’s letter indicates that the school
is not willing to provide any such services; rather,
the Bryn Mawr student is expected ‘‘to obey the
laws prohibiting’’ the possession and use of drugs,
and if she does not, she will not be a Bryn Mawr
student for very long.

The whole question of the drug laws adds to the
confusion. We begin with the assumption that the col-
lege will .never support conscious breaking of
the laws, (Although it might support civil disobedience
in some areas of civil rights, for instance the sit-
ins of the early °60’s, we doubt that drug use can
be put in the same category of importance.) We can
however also assume that laws are made by men and
can-- be changed, because they never embody ab-
solute truth.

But the NEWS does not here advocate smoking mar-—

ijuana for the purpose of trying to change the
laws, nor can it expect the college to lead sucha
battle. But we do ask that the laws NOT be used to
stifle all discussion about using drugs,

We have taken up considerable space this issue
to “present these
not. printing the laws in an attempt to scare anyone
into not trying marijuana, but to attempt to give a
more rational setting in which to make their decision.

This, we believe, should be the prime goal of the

stubslaciates and felt-Gov: to give the problem
of student use of drugs a rational basis for individual
decision. No scare tactics, no Federal agents lurking
around, no mass expulsions. On the other hand, no
social pressure to go to pot parties, and. no dinner
conversation designed to glorify drugs and make non-
users feel out of it.

The purpose of Bryn Mawr is not to ignore or ex-
pell the immature and the unsure student, be-
cause .each one of us is immature and unsure
in. some way. Rather Bryn Mawr is trying, in four
years, to encourage maturity, to foster independence,
to teach rationality in method and content. The NEWS
hopes that the problems of students and drugs will
be handled within this framework, and not within one

of fear and closed minds. os

Thefts on Campus |

Even the ivory. towers are apparently no refuge
from crime,

First of all, hundreds of dollars worth of valuable

merchandise--typewriters, radios, record players, cam-
eras, a2 sewing machine--were stolen from locked
closets of students over the summer. The victims will
probably never recover what they lost.

Students who live at a distance are almost forced
to leave valuable equipment here during summer va-
cation. How can one girl,. travelling alone, manage
a typewriter or a sewing machine with all her luggage
back and forth, say, to the- Midwest? Whom else in:
the area could she trust to store these items beSides the
college?

‘

The administration has made it clear that it cannot
assume responsibility for articles left here over the
summer, Nevertheless, there is no excuse for the
negligence that allowed workmen and others to go in
and out of the dorms all summer, unwatched, A typewriter,
after all, is not easily concealed.

Perhaps next year the college should select a cen-
tral location where people may register valuable
possessions and then insure it and guard it scrupulous-
ly all summer. In any case, plans for a new
arrangement should begin ight away, sq that
it will be completely ready by the spring. We cannot
afford to repeat this summer. _

Such a straightforward proposal, however, will not
solve a related problem which is potentially even
more dangerous. Substantial amounts of money

THE COLLEGE NEWS -



: College Seeks Diversity. Quality

In Each Potential Freshman

‘*We get diversity without trying
to get it,” said Miss Vermey,
Director of Admissions for. the
College, summing up the college’s
lack-of-overall-policy admissions
policy, in a recent interview.

The Admissions Committee con-
sists: of Miss Vermey, six faculty
members selected by nominations
from the faculty.committee, who

_ serve: three year terms, and Mrs.

Marshall and Miss McBride as ex-
officio members. Last year the
faculty members were Mr. Patten
(English), Mr. Schneider (Soci-
ology), Mr. Varimbi (Chemistry),
Miss Ulfelter (Latin), Miss Good-
ale (Anthropology), and Mr. Bur-
lin (English),

The faculty reads all the appli-
cants’ folders and devotes a lot
of time and hard work to admis-
sions, according to members of
the committee. Bryn Mawr is un-
usual in having the faculty play
such an important role in ad-
missions, ‘for it is they, essen-
tially, who select the new class.

The Committee demands no set
standards in the students it choos-
es for Bryn Mawr. Each member
ae to get to know the individ-

ual applicant. Yet the members
of the committee do have widely
ranging perspectives on the Bryn
Mawr student body. They recog-
nize some common qualities to
be looked for in students. But
they see these qualities expressed
differently by every Bryn Mawr
girl.

An intellectual spirit or ‘‘alive-
ness,” along with academic per-
formance, is sought in students,
according to Miss Vermey. Cur-
josity in a girl’s studies: and life
is. not shown just by marks, said
Miss Vermey. It canbe seen in
‘@-'teacher’s reaction tothe stu-
dent, in a-personal interview, and
in. what the student writes about
herself.

Although academic ‘curiosity is
a@ factor which plays through all
applicant cases, each studentdem-
onstrates her eagerness to learn
in a distinct way.

fem

i Mummified Cats

’ Miss Vermey gave hypothetical
examples of a girl’s excitement
in learning. One applicant was
interested in archeology since the

third grade, read voraciously in ,

it, and even mummified a cat.

“T think that girl really had a lot
.of curiosity,’’ said Miss Vermey.
Another girl spent her interview

sae about mystery stories. She
an enthusiastic response

4o, the world which would be re-
7 sree in her work, explained
Miss Vermey. Another - student was

A about what she wanted
“to do, and had developed all her
interests equally. But she becomes
“absorbed in what she is doing

— reading all through Hemming-

“way until she exhausts him, for §

example -- although there is no
design to her activities.
Academic excellence is an ob-

vious and universal quality to look
for in new students, thought Mr.
Patten. He talked about his unique
view on what academic excellence
in a student means.

He defined academic excellence
in terms of the response of a stu-
dent, with something inside her-

self, to the excitement of a pro-

fessor in his field. Mr. Patten
looks for a student who has come
alive and responded to a stimu-
lus from a teacher, or from the
inherent appeal of a certain sub-
ject.

She should have the self-
discipline to carry her excite-
ment to learn into the actual
digging out of information and
ideas. At the same time she
should possess imagination to dis-
cover the most efficient why of
dealing with the subject matter
she is given, of discovering short
cuts and connections. |

A retentive and/logical mind is
helpful in a student. Finally, ‘‘in-
tellectual wattage’’ or sheer per-
ception of the world is necessary.

These qualities should be mainly
focused on academics, Mr. Patten
thought. But it is good that some
of a student’s energies are left
over after studies. An excitement
in the life of the mind doesn’t
exist only in a relationship be-
tween the student and books, but
in many aspects of life -- in art
and music for example. If you
are really ‘‘turned on’? by some-
thing, Mr. Patten explained, the
excitement spills over into what-
ever you are doing.

Yet it is not right to exclude a
girl who holds a love of one thing.
A student who never does anything
but. work math problems may be
on. the track of an important dis-
covery. She is also exemplifying
another quality -- concentration
-- which is of value, too.

Finally, it is good if a girl’s
response to various subjects and
activities is tied together by a re-
flectiveness, by some goals which
lend structure to her life, and
which show an inner penetration
of the outside world.

‘*The students will keep Bryn
Mawr the way it is or change it to
something else,’’ claimed Mr.
Schneider, emphasizing the im-
portance of change in an acad-
demically excellent educational.

Pizzazz

‘¢Quality in a girl’ I can only
call pizzazz, flair, vitality,’’ he
continued. We get all the ‘‘good
students’? we want, Mr. Schneider
claimed. It is a question not of
who is academically fit, but who
is selected from all the aca-
demically fit applicants.

It is vital that students not only
do their work, but flavor their
Bryn Mawr experience with their
own talent. They should make use
of their education in their own way,
and contribute to it. The college
must ask itself not only what it
can do for its students, but what
they can give to it. It is hard to_

determine which students have
something special to give to the
school, with only interviews and
recommendations to go on, Mr.
Schneider said.

Secondly, Mr. Schneider thought
that the Bryn Mawr student body
should approach a representation
of the student generation. Girls
who have had psychiatric upsets
or hpi “a should not automat-
ically be rejected, for this kind of
experience is part of the new gen-
eration. Bryn Mawr has full rep-
resentation of the quiet passive
student, who has always done well
in school, but who has perhaps
never. questioned the purpose of
what she is doing, and made learn-
ing relevant and useful to herself
and the people around her, claim-
ed Mr. Schneider.

Students should challenge them-
selves by asking, ‘‘What do I want
to know about myself and my
times?”’ and ‘‘What am I here
for?’’ After thinking about these
questions, they will be better able
to design-and demand the educa-
tion they want and need.

Creativity .

* “Learning should be an intense
and immediate concern, some-
thing that becomes a part of you,
even if it shakes the hell out of

you -- it’s not just something you~ .

DO,” said Mr. Schneider. Students
should be more than institutional-
ists who follow along and take the
courses they’re supposed to take.
“This is not a call for creativity
in its own right,” he explained.
“I mean creativity in the literal
sense, that the education becomes
creative, that it changes the stu-
dent. It should incite self-aware-
ness, self-questioning, even dis-
content.

Education is a bringing to con-
sciousness,’’ he concluded, not
an obstacle course of things to
be learned compulsively.

Mr. Varimbi advocated the di-
versity of students which a faculty
committee of different views
reading all applications makes
possible. The various members of
the Committee have certain biases,
and see merit in different things.
‘“‘For example,’’ said Mr. Varimbi,
“as a scientist, I might favor a
student who had achieved a lot in

in English.’’

Any more “efficient’’ system
which would cut down the work
of the Admissions Committee by
judging applications in terms of
‘fixed demands and by using the
faculty committee only in ‘“‘doubt-
ful’? cases is unjust. When a col-
lege invents a pattern for the type
of students it wants in a class, it
creates an artifical diversity.
This is the trend in many colleges
today, Mr, Varimbi claimed.

Academic talent and perform-
ance are keys in the acceptance
of students at Bryn Mawr and a
variety of girls are bound to come
naturally. It is better for a class
to be a little unbalanced than for
the Committee to arrange a model
of balance. ‘‘The orchestra sounds
better if you have a bassoon,”’
Mr. Varimbi quipped, ‘‘but the
college will survive a year or two
without one.’’

Mrs. Marshall,, an ex-officio
member of the Committee explain-
ed how terribly complicated ad-
‘missions are. It is, for example,
difficult to understand a student’s
background and recommendations

She thought that in general a
Bryn Mawr student should be per=

able; emotionally sound and hon-

Diversity is important in the

Plays To Be Planned

Opportunities to work against
the war in Vietnam will be ex-
amined and discussed in an
opening meeting next Sunday
evening at 8 p,m, in Erdman’s
living room,

Three projects were partially
developed during the summer, The
first is working with Ann Davidon,
wife of a Haverford physics pro-
fessor, on the International
Vietnam Theater, in conjunction
with the Angry Arts and the Phila-
delphia : Street Players in wrfit-
ing and putting on anti-
war plays to be shown in the
Philadelphia and Main Line area,
Mrs, Davidon will be at the meet-
ing to explain more fully,

Second is a draft resistance
movement, which probably would
involve leafletting the high schools,
In the same field, but with dif-
ferent aims, is draft counseling,

Third is publicity and planning
for the October 21 Mobilization in
Washington, D.C, at the Pentagon,
Busses are available through the
National Mobilization for $6 round
trip, Scholarships are available,

Students, professors, and any-
one else who is _ interested
in these three projects or any
others are invited to attend, People
who. worked for Vietnam Sum-
mer or some other group
and have had experience writing
flyers, distributing leaflets, and
talking to people about either
the draft or the war are especial-

federal and state, against :
the use of narcotic drugs.
These laws are being mimeo- ~

be distributed later.

SUMMARY OF DRUG LAWS

4

Because of the widespread interest in the legal
ramifications of involvement with narcotics and dan-
gerous drugs, the following summary of Pennsylvania

_ and Federal law has been prepared to advise students

of prohibited acts and the potential criminal penalties.

Both State and Federal laws divide drugs into two
categories and distinguish between narcotic drugs, such
as marijuana or heroin, and dangerous drugs, such

as LSD and barbiturates or amphetamines. Ordinarily, .

prosecution could be expected through arrests by local

~ or state police and enforcement. of state laws in the
state courts. However, federal prosecution is also
possible and would be more likely in cases involving

interstate transactions.

dle of a snowstorm is only one of

the amazing (but actual) adven-*

tures that several members of

vicinity of Galbraith Lake on the
northern slopes of the Brooks
mountain range, about 300 miles
north of Fairbanks.

ains.’? He describes a stratified
site as one occupied several dif-
ferent times, so that many cul-
tures are represented, one above
the other.

They returned with over 50,000
pieces, including flint tools and
antler arrowheads, as well as
what Mr. Alexander terms ‘‘an
incredible amount of junk, dis-
carded in the process of tool-
making.”

He has good reason to be pleas-
ed with the finds. ‘‘The Birnirk
culture existed from 700 to 1700
A.D. The material fills in a time
gap extending from the earliest

atin



periods, which have always been
well represented, to recent

times.’?
‘the Alexanders discovered

some of the sites on a trip to
the area last summer. This year,
the objectives were to exhaust the
older sites and to keep up a con-
stant search for new ones. They
took turns exploring the area in
groups of two, while the others
stayed behind to dig.

‘‘Much of the excitement and ad-
venture occurred on these survey
trips,’’ says Mr. Alexander, whose
Paul Bunyan beard is an approp-
riate symbol of wilderness life.
The surveyors carried guns as
protection against bears and
wolves. On one six day outing,
Peggy was rather badly frost-
bitten.

The main problems. resulted
from bad weather. The party flew
north from Fairbanks June 12,
but frozen lakes prevented their
float plane from landing. They
spent .two weeks in an Eskimo
village at Anaktuwuk Pass, wait-
ing for the ice to break.

‘There are no roads in the
‘area, and the only way to get from
the base camp to the main site
was by canoe. We had a devil of
a time getting across the lake,
since we had to break our way
through the ice. And there was
the danger of being capsized by
wind-blown ice.”’

Once at the site the job of un-

covering began. It involved going
over the area foot by foot with
shovels and trowels. But locating
new sites wasn’t nearly so syste-
matic. ‘‘We found our best site
while digging a trap for a ground
squirrel,’’ Mr. Alexander laugh-
ingly admits.

Despite inconsistencies in the
weather, Peggy and Beth found life
in the Arctic ‘‘pretty com-
fortable.” Most of the food was
brought in by plane, but they did
have to hunt for meat. ‘‘We made
sensible use of the land,’’ explains
Beth, ‘‘and hunting helped.us to
learn a lot more about the

‘photo by Herbert Alexander

country.’?

Kim, Neil, and Erica (ages three,
four, and eight) especially enjoyed
making snowmen in July. Theyhad
some trouble adjusting to the mo-
squitoes, though. According to
Beth, ‘‘they’re so thick that you
inhale five or six in one breath. -
But you learn how to roll them into
a. ball with your tongue and spit
them out.’’

_ For Peggy and Beth, two months
in the foothills and tundra of north-
ern Alaska have afforded a per-
sonal gain. *“‘The survey trips
really put us to the test. I feel I
can face almost anything after
that -- except civilization.” The
girls smile at Peggy’s observation
and look thoughtful, but they don’t
elaborate. Anyone intent on under-
standing what they mean will have
to drop by the Atigun River Valley
and find out for himself.

Warden's Family in Erdman
Adjusts to Dormitory Living

Mrs. Kathy Erickson, Erd-

man’s new warden, ( has. only
had time to bee the advantages
of her new job, To make room for
the Erickson family, Erdman added
another bedroom to the warden’s
suite for baby Jonathan, the new

mascot of the dorm.
Ted Erickson, a graduate
student in biology, made all

the proper arrangements for mov-
ing his family into Erdman
with the Deans’ office last spring.
There were two reasons for the
experiment: first, Erdman was
having trouble finding a warden;

of this demand.

With these difficulties out of
the way, the Main Line Vietnam
Summer project had several suc-
cesses. It collected several hun-
dred signatures on a petition ad-
dressed to CongressmanSchwei-
ker of the 13th District. The
petition asked that Schweiker re-
turn to Montgomery County to hold
open hearings on the war and other
community issues. It stated that
the signees were ‘‘concerned about
the effect the war has on our
domestic programs’’ and about
“the growing loss of American
and Vietnamese lives.’’

A Vietnam Film Series was
shown late in the summer. One,
‘‘Why Vietnam?” was an Army
film, presenting the Administra-
tion position. Bresler describéd
it as being very persuasive to
people who are not aware of some
of the inconsistencies in facts, and
the ‘‘out and out lies.’”’ Also
shown was ‘‘Sons and Daughters,”’
“Good Times, Wonderful Times,”’
and “Time of the Locust.’

The Main Line project was
basically educational in nature.
Its purpose was to inform Main
Liners of its Government’s poli-
cies and actions in more com-
plete terms than they could get
in the American press.

second, the idea of having
a married couple living in a
dorm full of girls, against in-.
numerable rules, interested
everyone.

The Ericksons have adjusted
to dorm life with no trouble, They
eat lunch in their suite, but use
the dorm dining room for break-
fast and dinner. Asked whether
her husband felt strange sur-
rounded by hordes of girls,
Mrs. Erickson replied, ‘‘Oh, he
doesn’t mind. He’s used to girls--

‘the used to teach home economics

at Drexel. But sometimes he does
seem to be overwhelmed.”

Jonathan, though he may
think the world is made up of
Erdman and its girls, has proved
to be anything but trouble. He
does not wake anyone up in the
middle of the night, and Erdman’s
lobby is perfect for running around
in. . :

uses in mind for her. husband:
‘Its always good to have a man’s ~
point of: view. Besides, he can
fix the plumbing, if it’s some-
thing simple, and lift heavy
things. If anyone should get strand-.
ed somewhere late at night,

~ Formerly ‘Alt-female Dormitory
infiltrated by Male Graduates

“‘The Magnificent Seyen’? is now

playing at the graduate center re-

sident hall, Seven male graduate

“students ranging in age from

twenty two to thirty have establish-
ed living quarters in the tradition-
ally all-female dormitory of the
Bryn Mawr College Graduate
School,

Edward Gardner, Arthur Hil-

scher, Gerard Innocenti, Charles
McFadden, Roger Paas and Alan
Rosen, all Americans, and Filipino
David Fredegusto have stepped up
male service in the grad, center
dorm, Within the group, the men
are working toward both M,A, and
Ph.D, degrees in fields including

psychology, physics, German,
medieval history, medieval phil-
osophy and English,

Boasting homes in New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the
Phillipine Islands, these seven have
completed their undergraduate
studies at the University of Penn-
sylvania, Rutgers University, Du-
quesne University, and Dickinson,
Hamilton, and St, Joseph’s Col-
leges,

The primary factor influencing
these men to select Bryn Mawr as
the focal point of their graduate
studies is the general preference
among them for a small, but in-
tense, center of intellectual ex-
pansion,

Edward Gardner, a third year
graduate student and the only one
of the seven not in his initial year
at BMC, added two supplementary
reasons for his choosing Bryn
Mawr: ‘*I am an amateur figure
skater and in addition, to a small
school, I also wanted a location in
which I could work toward compe-
titive skating, Proximity to
facilities for experimental nuclear
physics was also very important,’’

David Fredegusto had been ad-
vised by an American missionary
in his native country to find an
outstanding, but small, graduate
school: -‘‘I was told that I would
be lost in a big school .like the

University of California and that

my educational opportunities would
be far greater at a small insti-





tution, Already I think that Iwas.
advised wisely,’? David comment-

ed, He also remarked, ‘‘I select-
ed Bryn Mawr mainly because Iwas
impressed by the way the catalog
was written, The English was

different and more appealing than

that used in the bulletins of the
Western schools like Stanford, I
wanted to be in the area of the
University of Pennsylvania and so
I chose Bryn Mawr,?’

In general, the men seemed non-
com mital about the new co-eddorm
system, but none of them make
any suggestion to alter it, The
ratio of men to women stands at
approximately one to five, but the
male students emphatically de-
clared that they were not being
distracted from their studies, At
that point, however, classes had
been existent for less than twenty
four hours,

Influenced by a foreign back-
ground, David was ‘‘amazed’ at
the co-ed residential structure.
“Tt is, *? he indicated, ‘‘very na-
tural even though I am not
accustomed to it, Soon we will
be like brothers and sisters,’’

Under a separate self-govern-
ment system, the graduate hall
appears unaffected by the presence
of men in that unlimited room
privileges are provided and beer

and wine may be consumed in the -

individual rooms,

Dorm elections Monday night
supported the theory of the domi-
nant male, The thirty-eight women
residents outbalance the numeri-
cally deficient ‘‘Magnificent Sev-
en’’, but the men took four of the
seven hall offices, Roger Paas
and Martha White share executive
responsibilities in a co-ed co-
chairmanship established in lieu
of the usual president-vice-presi-
dent set-ap,.

Friday, Soptacee 2. 1967



Staff of Hippie Paper oe Ambitions,
Functions of Underground News Services

I saw the ‘Helix’ (the newspaper for the

intellectually inarticulate) being soldby
bare-footed long-haired boys on streetcor-
ners in Seattle’s U District and bought.a
couple of issues, Seattle had a fair.
number of hippies over the summer,
and there was a lot of traffic up and

down the coast,’ between San Francisco,

Seattle and Vancouver. It seemed na-
tural that the hippie subculture would
develop its own news media, and I was
interested enough in what I read to go
down to the ‘Helix’? office one August
' morning to talk to the editor and one

.of the staff,

We're about $1200 in debt right now,
but it should be paid off in two-and-a-
half or three months, We raised the
price from 15¢ to 20¢ to do it,’? Paul
Dorpat, editor and founder of the
‘**Helix’? explained as he cleaned up his
office-apartment,

Dorpat himself though, does not con-
sider his paper a spokesman for. the
hippies, Even if they were united enough
to have one spokesman, it wouldn’t be
he, But the paper’s format and editor-
ial, content were obviously influenc-

potas the ideas and concerns of hippies,

straight. Seattle people read the
pea to see what the hippies were
going to do next,

The ‘Helix’? like many of the other
small, often in debt, papers that have
been begun recently in many large cities,
belongs to the Underground Press-Ser-
vice, This is a very loose organiza-
tion which at the moment doesn’t do
much besides exchange copies of each
other’s issues, These papers are often
staffed and supported by ex-university
students, They emphasize opinion and
perspective rather than bid news
facts.

Dorpat pointed out that all news is
slanted, either consciously or uncon-
sciously, Many big newspapers have

become ‘‘p.r, things for the establish-
ment ... The Press deludes itself if it
thinks it can reduce problems and issues

UNDERSTANDING oO
~-Still-sweeping papers out from under
chairs, he talked about the beginning
of the ‘‘Helix.” Last April, in his
capacity as curriculum chairman of the
Free University of Seattle, he had been
putting together a catalog of courses and
ideas, and it grew into a newspaper.
Now it comes out about every. two weeks,
True to its hippie orientations, much:
of its space, is taken up with comments
on local be-ins, light shows and anti-
war activities, It also had been very
careful during the summer to document
all kinds of police harrassment around
the U District, of which there was a
great deal, ‘‘Rights interest me a lot,’’
Dorpat explained, ‘‘The police on the
other hand are interested in keeping things
Sober, steadfast, demure, They don’t.
like change,”’

By this time the cleaning had gotten
to the point of picking up clothing off
the floor (‘‘is this yours?”’), At the
same time a body on a cot in the corner
began to wake up, It was Scott White,
high school dropout and invaluable staff
member of the ‘‘Helix,’’

‘‘Man,”’ he said, ‘‘this is driving me
INSANE, I’m not going to stay here any
more, I can’t take it.’’ Dorpat patted
him on the head and suggested he go
somewhere and take a shower today.
Scott agreed, twirling his Indian amulet
around his neck, He explained that he
couldn’t stand all the people who wander
in and out of the office, with sometimes
“eight or nine of them staying for the night,

I was then told a long complicated
story about Scott White’s life, which
consisted largely of his father’s activi-
ties as Sunday editor of a Large Metro-
politan Newspaper, and the distinction of
being kicked out of college with the pre-
sent Governor of Wyoming. I! wasn’t
sure if the Governor was just in the same
class or was actually expelled with him,

Scott demanded to know my National
Merit score --he beat me by five points,

The two then began to talk about what

to ‘the facts’ , Extending this line of.
thinking, he predicted that all newspapers
may evolve from concentrating on the
facts to concentrating on opinions, This
evolution may be complete in the next
20 years or so, because television is
rapidly pushing the papers out of the fact
distribution business, Dorpat then re-
ferred me to a chapter in MclLuhan’s

they had to do that day, It involved some
very business-like phrases like “‘it all is
contingent on him buying out the other
partner,”’ but moved on to plans to help
20,000 migrant workers in eastern Wash- °
ington left without money or food because
the: harvest was a month late, They also
gossiped about a “‘coup’’ at the ‘‘Berke-
ley Barb,’? another hippie paper. It

apparently involved about 3/4 of the staff,
Scott was most interested in the fact that
the editor fed his workers all their meals,
They decided that the problem must have
been editorial disagreements, rather than
a. fight over working conditions, The
‘Helix’? like most of its counterparts
does not pay its staff, but the editor
tends to give much of his money to
friends,

The Helix,” Dorpat claims,-is a very
well-read paper, They print 10,000 copies

, and. will probably.be doing 15,000 when

school starts at the University of Wash-

ington, They charge $2.25 a column

inch for ads (the NEWS charges $1.85)
but that is only if ‘‘Columbia Records
or something like that wants an ad,’’
Friends get space for much less,

The two-room office was slowly get-
ting cleaned. I had discovered another
sleeping body in the other room, He
never did wake up,

One entire wall was taken up by a
huge American flag, on which werepinned
some very good black-and-white photo-
graphs of people at be-ins, The other
walls were covered with newspaper clipp-
ings of police harrassments, hand-printed
signs saying ‘‘Need Ride to Bay Aréa,

From VISA Books and Cards:

‘Lola Atwood, president of Undergrad has
announced that Undergrad will be receiv-
ing 50¢ for each VISA book and card
sold, and a dime for each book sold with-
out the card.

VISA, defunct last year, has been re-
organized and now promises some
substantial benefits to members (besides
aiding the Undergrad budget). The book,
besides listing and describing restaurants
and theatres in the Philadelphia area,
contains coupons for admission on a two-
for-one basis to places like the Theatre
of the Living Arts, the Second Fret, the
Abbey Stage Door and the Pennsylvania
Ballet Company.

The coupons will also buy hamburgers,
wheel balancing, TV rental, and Xerox
copies. They are good for $1.25 off on
flowers, $25 off on a Yamaha and $10
off on a typewriter.

his amulet, ‘‘All our friends are para-

ferring to a disk jockey on one of the
local rock stations, The ‘‘Helix’ leads ,
a constant battle against teenyboppers
and bands that are out for money at the
expense of art and music,

Dorpat said that the ‘‘Helix’’ will have
less space devoted to articles on the
police this fall, doing them ‘‘less often
and better,’? When asked what he would
write about instead, he did not- think
there would be any dearth of copy, and
besides. they could always write about
“Eastern philosophies and how to grow |
pot in your back yard like the ‘San /
Francisco Oracle’,’? v4

As I was getting ready to leave, Scott
and Dorpat began discussing moving to a
bigger. place, -‘‘I don’t care--just as
long as I can have a room to myself,’’
they both kept repeating, Scott started
opening their mail, reading out loud from
one envelope, ‘‘First Class Mail: Prot-
