The chronic complaint of Bryn Mawr ‘‘isolation’’. and lack of com-
munication with other college campuses has been soothed in both
interesting and constructive ways by Bryn Mawr dramatists, College -
Theater, in cooperation with Haverford, will present its production
of ‘‘Antony and Cleopatra’’ for the University of Pennsylvania early in —
- December, while-other Bryn Mawr thespians, classicists, and ‘‘Greeks’’
plan to join Princeton for the production of Euripides’ ‘‘Hippolytus’’ in
late February. ._.
These efforts display several fine approaches toward faanonte our
sagging relationships with other campuses. College Theater’s production
is a worthwhile enterprise, so worthwhile, infact, that another institution
is eager. to offer its facilities so that. its students may also enjoy and
--- benefit from the performance. It seems obvious that such an exciting.
__Bryn_ Mawr project as this will be wel) received by other colleges. One
: suggestion toward furthering inter-campus relationships: Undertake
- projects interesting and worthwhile to the entire college community.
—s
If the project is truly good, other canipuses will want to share in it.
Bryn Mawr-Princeton’s ‘‘Hippolytus’’ shows a different, but equally
.fine approach to this end. Working with another campus on a project
‘of common interest is, quite obviously therapeutic to the relationship
between the two institutions, And WORKING with another campus on.a
specific project, instead of simply DISCUSSING abstract ideas or
problems, sipping tea, or frugging together seems much more beneficial
to both the colleges and the students involved. Our second suggestion:
more ‘‘work’? instead of ‘‘talk’”” projects with other schools.
In-short; we applaud-College: Theater-and ‘‘the Greeks’”’ for the highly
beneficial by-products evolved from their avowedly artistic endeavors.
The Individual and NBC
Don Farmer’s speech in Goodhart Wednesday night brought home to

have done a beautiful job of organizing the Election Night project, the
hardest part is still ahead. As we, the cloistered, sally en masse into
the real world, it is*®asy to forget that any slips we may make will be
serious, with much graver repercussions than usually follow small

Hurrah for the nascent student Union!
Is this premature? We hope not, for at long last, it looks as if Bryn
Mawr is going to have a student unidn. Last week, Miss McBride ap-
proved plans for transforming the College Inn into a student lounge,
- giving the go-ahead’signal to the Inn Committee, headed by Babs Keith,
to buy furniture and cigarette and coffee machines.
; ash ae
In tlie meantime, under the new manager, Miss Lewis, and‘the
hostess; Mrs. Ferris, the Inn has become a truly pleasant place. They
‘are to be congratulated for carrying out Miss Lewis’ earlier stated .
plan -of making the Inn a more enjoyable place for the students. It
really is! Students are actually welcomed with smiles, and are even
“permitted the luxury of linen-covered tables. — ‘ ; ,
Despite all the work being done by the administration, the Inn Com-
mittee and personnel, however, final responsibility for the success of |
‘the student union plan rests with the students themselves. At present
the Inn is open" three evenings per week. The Inn Committee hopes to
extend this to every night when the student union becomes official. This
will be possible ony through student support, .of the Inn now and the
_ Union later.

Non- Supporters Attacked
By Kit Bakke
On October 21; Barry Goldwater
was in Philadelphia speaking to the
students at the University of Penn= -
sylvania in Irvine Auditorium and,,
also to a gathering of $100-a-plate .
diners at Convention Hall. The lat-
ter speech was televised over ABC,
intending to be Goldwater’s answer
to President Johnson’s address of
the week before.
The student rally was about 80%
‘pro- Goldwater inside the audi-—
torium and 90% anti-Goldwater
outside.
anti- Goldwater’ people weren't
willing to pay the two dollars to
get inside. Goldwater spoke for
about twenty minutes on the value
of education, especially the study
of history. Touching on his own
brief and ill-fated college'career,
he said that he was very glad to
see so many college students in-
“terested in politics, Then there
was some bitter heckling on the
“part of several vociferous Scran=
ton: supporters,..and the Johnson
allies waved signs a good deal of
the time.
Because the ticket stubs from
the rally were good for admission

This project badly needs money
so that ‘it can.continue its work
organizing slum “blocks ~in Phil-
adelphia. Those of us who are
working on the project from Bryn
Mawr have decided that we will
give the money we earn working
on election night to the Philadel-

would have signed up to work even:
if we had not been offered money
by NBC, I ask.that other Bryn

many of the students went over
there after Goldwater finished
speaking. Arriving at. the Hall,
“some began quietly chanting “LBS
for the USA.” Several middle-aged
Goldwaterites went'over to them,

telling them to.go back where they
belonged (the most commonly men-
tioned area was Cuba), they began
kicking and hitting the students,

The police were as brutal as the
bouncers, They ignored the obvious
cases of assault and, battery (one
U. of P. student spent the night in
the college’s infirmary) and con- : -
centrated merely on throwing out
everyone they thought they could
intimidate,
Their only purpose was to keep
the fracas from getting on TV and
ruining Goldwater’s speech. Ap-
parently they succeeded’ because
within 10 or 15 minutes students _
found themselves sitting on the ~
Hall steps, shaken and more anti-
Goldwater than ever.
