Germ Warfare Research Projects College Will Not Invite Police

Accepted by Phila. Science Center To 1967 May Day Celebration

Negotiations with the Army
and the Air Force to transfer the
contracts for projects Spicerack
and Summit from Penn to the
University City Science Center
(to: which Bryn Mawr _ belongs)
will be completed late this month,
said Dr. Jean Paul Mather, ex-
‘ecutive director of the Science.
Center, in a recent interview with
the COLLEGE NEWS. As a result,
there is some agitation on campus
favoring Bryn Mawr’s withdrawal
from the Center.

Both research projects are,
in the words of the Philadelphia
BULLETIN, ‘‘concerned with the
development of chemical-bio-
logical warfare weapons sys-
tems.’”” The projects have
been housed at Penn; however, the

contelor between the University,
the Air Force,
expires next March.

and the Army

According to Dr. Mather, the

University City Science Center
is ready to take over both projects
Spicerack and Summit by this July.
He states that he will meet with
the Army and the Air Force April
25 in hopes of gaining their ap-
proval of the transferral; plans
for

already being prepared, he said.

Suggestions for the traditional
mayhem of May Day Eve ranged
from permitting signouts to Mer-

dawn, kidnaping girls instead
of maypoles, and arresting only
Villanova boys (Haverfordians
must show their matriculation
cards if captured), All jesting
aside, however, the consensus
boiled down to telling the police
not to come and hoping for the

Legislature Revises Self-Gov Ballot
To Come Before Students Next Week

by Valerie Hawkins

The legislature convened
Wednesday to consider the Self-
Government Constitutional Re-
vision ballot, Consider? After two
or three hours of grammatical
corrections, mutual misunder-
standings, and various other forms
of confusion, one began to wonder
whether there was any reason to
be there at all.

Much of the confusion was ex-
cusable, since the ballot will pre-
sent alternatives as well as alter-
natives to the alternatives, and the
sheer bulk of the possibilities is
‘enough to throw the most logical
person. *

Keys and Signouts are the issues
that might cause the most drastic
changes in the old constitution,
The ballot includes four major
signout ‘‘systems,’’ or logical
combinations of proposals, One is
essentially the same as the pre-
sent system,

Two 8 a.m, systems are pro-
posed, The first allows a girl to
return between the time the doors
are locked and 8 a,m, by means of
a key. In the second, no keys
would be issued, Instead, a lan-
tern man would open the door,

A system of unlimited permis-
sions is also possible, This would
allow a girl’ to stay out beyond
two, but without an 8 a.m, signout,

dents, even those who vote ‘‘no’’
to 8 a.m, curfews and the initial
keys proposal, In the event that
we should decide to issue keys,
then, everyone will have indicated
her preference of methods,

The introduction to the ballot
asks that the voter try to choose
a ‘‘workable system’’ rather than
voting. on proposals as isolated
ideas, At a number of points, mem-
bers of the legislature felt that the

*pallot should be annotated to help

the students to keep her systems

consistent, But Drewdie Gilpin,
President of Self-Gov felt that
intelligent voting should remain
the responsibility of the voter,

It is probable that the ballot in
its final form will be as con-
fusing to the voters as it seemed
to be to members of the legis-
lature, What with explanatory
meetings and attempts to figure
out what ideas go with what sy-
stems, our respective hall presi-
dents can look forward at least one
hectic month of leadership,

Students, Faculty Study
. Self-Scheduled Exams

At a‘meeting of the joint faculty-
student Curriculum Committee

_ on April 27, self-scheduled exams,
the calendar for next year, the
possibility of a reading period
for this semester, and the ques-

tionnaires for majors’ will
be discussed,
Haverford faculty, students,

and administration are in favor
of the self-scheduled exam system
being instituted at Bryn Mawr.
Miss De Graaff and Mr. Bachrach,
who teach on both campuses, say
that self-scheduléd exams would be
much simpler than the present
-system, especially for the joint
departments. Nicky Hardenbergh
and Kit Bakke have been working
on a workable exam proposal to
present to the faculty. A poll

will be taken this week on the
exam question and on the joint
Haverford-Bryn Mawr proposal
for a different calendar next year.

In that poll at Haverford, stu-
dents have turned down the
present calendar in favor of one
in which all first semester classes
end before Christmas (Dec. 22),
and in which a reading period
would extend from Jan. 8 to Jan.
te

The Committee, referring to
the poll results, -will- decide
whether term papers will be due
some before and some after
Christmas, or all before
Christmas. In addition, they will
‘consider creating a reading
period this semester by cutting
out the last few days of.classes.

Police were drawn into May
Day a few years agowhen property
damage occurred, and last year

the use of cherry bombs provoked,

several arrests. But some girls
seemed to think that now the very
presence of police induces de-
struction, what with the usual
mob hysteria, Without police, May
Day might. mean more fun and
less damage,

Although Haverford has guar-
anteed the return of stolen
maypoles, still the length of time
needed to set them up again re-
mains a problem, Besides, the
presence of police may make the
poles hard to steal, but even
harder to bring back, Lola said
Haverford has made clear that
they do not want to stop our
tradition, nor do they want to
let other men’s schools in on.
the raid, although Penn, Swarth-
more, and _ Villanova have
already offered their services,

As far as boys entering dorms
is concerned, the Haverford Stu-
dents’ Council supposedly will

' be issuing a statement forbidding

door-crashing outside Bryn
Mawr’s allotted hours, and urging
that all maypoles be returned by
4 a.m, That is, their intrusion is

to be regarded as a prank, nota
theft,

Since it is virtually a trad-
dition for Haverford to have
a small rumble on Merion Green
each year, it was felt that they
should not be subjected to arrest
and fines, The possibility of pro-
tecting the poles with Burns
Guards alone was also suggested;
if the disorder should become dan-
gerous and destructive, the
police might be called in later,

Mawrters are requested not
to provoke Haverford with water
fights and the like, Further, Self-
Gov rules for signouts and leaving
the dorm still stand April 30.

Since a band is needed des-
perately for May Day morning,
any- volunteers from the Haver-
ford campus would be appreciated,

Serendipity Weekend

‘‘Serendipity’’ means finding

Faust, the weekend will feature a

Con Artists Swindle
Soft-Hearted Students

by Jan Oppenheim

The story reads like a
Perry Mason mystery, but, un-
fortunately, its results are
not purely fictitious. Last Thurs-
day, Bryn Mawr was _ the
scene of a thorough con operation,
carried off by two young women
of college age.

“Tinda Sue Singleton?’ and
‘*patsy Johnston,’’ identified as
between the ages of seventeen and
twenty, strolled all over the
campus, entering residence halls
and students’ rooms at will. They
were, supposedly, selling sub-
scriptions to magazines ranging
in choice from TEEN SCREEN to
LADIES’ HOME JOURNAL,

Each covered half of the campus,
and both told a pathetic tale to
their well-intentioned victims. As
orphans, they were sorely pressed
to finish their education, and,
therefore, were participating in a
National Student League contest,
started by President Kennedy in
1962, which grants a $1000 cash
scholarship to the seller of the
greatest number of subscriptions,
The story had an artificial ring to
it, but suspicions were not definite-
ly aroused until one solicitor
claimed that she had been accepted
to Bryn Mawr for next year,

Her grammar was unorthodox,
and she could not remember just
what her BMC rating had been.
A. student checked with, the Ad-
missions Office, and no one
had ever heard of the girl.
By this time, however, both girls
had slipped away, with about $500
worth of cash and personal checks.

Miss Wright, Director of
Halls, in recounting the story re-
marked that the students should
have become wary when directed
to make out their checks to the
girls, rather than to any company.
The solicitors did provide their

new sulscribers with receipts’
Union Circulation . -

from e
Company in Atlanta, Ga., but
whether, {or not these receipts are
a apse Mle whether the girls

had obtained them legally is,

still very much open to question.
In accepting person4l checks, the
girls had said they probably would
not cash them for about thirty days.
The next day, however, when stu-
dents began calling their banks
to cancel payment on these checks,
they arned that the girls
had already cashed them.

When Miss Wright was notified
of the fraud Friday noon, she
immediately called the Lower
Merion Police whose Detective

Rape of the Maypoles.

Last year, in the wake of one of the noisiest raids
ever on the maypoles standing suggestively on Mer-
ion Green the night before May Day, an editorial
was written in the joint issue of the HAVERFORD
NEWS and the COLLEGE NEWS calling on the Bryn
Mawr administration to stop taking the May Day’
tradition so seriously. Don’t call in the police, it
asked; Haverford’s role in May Day is one of the best:
parts, and certainly doesn’t call for the police and local courts, complete with arrests,
illegal searches, jail and fines,

We still hold by this position. The arrests were
extremely unpleasant last spring and are equally
so this spring. “Therefore, we are relieved to see
the outcome of Monday’s Undergrad meeting as

reported on p. 1.

The agreement seems to us perfectly reason-
able. The poles do, after all, cost some $400 apiece.
So we don’t think that Haverford students should be

allowed to destroy them without interference,

But

on the other hand, as long as they are returned by
May Day morning ... well, we can’t help but fondly
remember the excitement of the planning and schem-
ing last year. It’s one of the best traditions around,

This is a world in which each
of us, knowing the evils of liber-
alism, and. the horrors of inno-
vation, will have to cling to what
is close to him, to his tradition
and his love, lest he be dis-
solved in a universal confusion
and know nothing and love noth-
ing. This time has been long in
coming; but it has come. It is, we

think, for us and our children our
only way to make partial order
in total chaos.

There remains a tradition at!
Haverford (and Bryn Mawr) both
beloved and salvagable: the an-
nual Rape (sic) of the May-
poles ...

Plea For a Reading Period

It is common knowledge that without the reading

period. last semester,

many students would have
completely cracked up or at. least failed all their

exams. When the calendar was made up last year, |
for some reason the reading period, which was one:

«---~of the top-priority items, was not included in the
second semester schedule,

We have, however, heard rumors that the faculty.
and administration are amenable to making the last:
week, or part of it, a reading period, We suggest.
that this be made explicit: that students and their
professors decide in each class if a reading period
is desired, and if so, how long it should be.
Classes are presently scheduled to end Friday,.
May 12, with exams beginning Monday, May 15.:
-Some classes might want the whole week from May

8 to May 12 as reading period, and others perhaps :

just from Wednesday, May 10, till exams.

_.. However it-be worked out, we strongly urge that}

_ gome kind of reading period be clearly established

by Margaret Levi, '68.

There is talk in ‘*The Move-
ment’? (I would say among. the
Peace People, but all ‘‘The Move-
ment’? is concerned with peace.
right now) that no advance can be
made on any other social/political/
economic issue until the War in
Vietnam is ended, The Movement
thus finds itself caught in the di-
lemma of how to deal concurrently
with both the factors which cause
something like the War and with

‘the results of those factors, What.

concerns me here is the way in
which ‘‘The Movement’’ is attack-
ing its dilemma,

On the Thursday before The’
Mobilization last Saturday I attend-
eda meeting in New York to dis-
cuss a proposal by some Boston
SDS (Students for a Democratic
Society) people concerning a
national, massive, civil disobedi-
ence demonstration. They seemed
to assume that-ending the War was
the thing to concentrate on and
that a civil disobedience demon-
stration was an issue around which
to organize, The argument (and
there was plenty) was: essentially
over whether the demos should be
local or national-.in scale and
whether they should be seen as a
disruptive tactic or as an indi-
cation of a certain moral stand,

Several things bothered me about
this meeting, First, I had the im-
pression that these peeple were so
used to speaking to others who
think and feel as they do that it
never occurred to them that there
might be hoards of people not yet:
convinced that the War is wrong--
let along that civil disobedience is
a good tactic to employ. Second,
the amount of energy people were:
willing to put into organizing this
sort of demonstration could be put
to better use--or so it seemed to
several of us there--for instance,

in community organizing or in
educational programs for cam-
puses places unaware of the radical
critique of the War and of Ameri-
can society, Third, it concerned ©
me that so many young men and
women were ready to martyr them-'
selves by spending great lengths
of time in jail and, as a result,
remove themselves from theforay.
(Conscientious objection is a dif-
ferent problem™area, it seems to
me,)

The emphasis seemed to be on
personal salvation rather than on
attempts to get to the roots of the
problem and to struggle with the
forces which cause such things as
the War in Vietnam. It could be
argued that other people will be
attracted to the ‘‘Movement’’ by
the sincerity of its proponents or
that the proponents themselves will
be inspired to new and better things
as a result of the depth of the
commitment they have shown, How-
ever, I find these arguments fal-
lacious: first, others would react
either negatively or indifferently,
feeling it stupid and wasteful to
provoke a jail sentence; second, I
cannot imagine anyone being in-
spired to anything after a few
months or even a couple of years

« in the pen, Certainly there are

times when it is important to
ACT, to put yourself on the line,
but civil disobedience and a re-
sulting jail sentence seems to me
a particularly futile gesture, Al-
though attempts to change society
may be equally futile and potential-
ly more dangerous (one could be
arousing people for God knows
what ends, or, in a milder view,
making commitments one.can never
fulfill), but at least these attempts
MAY make a significant difference,

Just as the War demands govern-
ment priority in terms of men

and resources, work towards its,

Letter to

To the Editor:
Last year the joint issue of the

FORD NEWS was the most popu-
lar of the year, I propose a per-
manent, year-round merger,

Most of the events at Bryn Mawr
or Haverford interest students of
both schools, Yet each-week, sep-
arate news staffs struggle to find
enough material to print an in-
teresting paper. This results in
much duplieation of stories and
an excess of space given to adver-
tising.

Furthermore, a joint staff would
be more fun and more stimulating.
The result would be a better news-
paper, Students presently in posi-
tions of responsibility may oppose
this move for fear of being sub-
ordinated, Although we could not
have two chief editors, the larger
operation would entail new re-
Sponsibilities, and the members of

charge of larger staffs,

should be considered in favor of a
permanent merger, A paper whose

. Can devote more of its energy to

improving the
articles,

Lastly, a joint newspaper would
provide a link between the student
bodies of Haverford and Bryn
Mawr, Joining the staff would be
more attractive to creative stu-
dents, since it would be less apt
to confine them to their own cam-
puses,

If a merger is to take place, the
legal difficulties with the COL-
LEGE NEWS copyright, and op-
position from the administrations
must be overcome, We must begin.

end seems to demand ‘“‘Movement”’

priority, It is certainly true that:

government projects aimed at.
social reform have been slowed
down or halted; it is equally true
that the ‘‘Movement*®’ cannot make
real social advance until the War

is over, Young men of ‘*The Moye-.

ment’? are being milked by the
draft, and repression is resulting
from the arousal of a patriotic
feeling which seés protests of any
sort--in this period of ‘‘National
Emergency’’--as un-American,

But the Movement’s real di-
lemma is in the very priority it
puts on ending the War; and the
War will eventually be ended and by
factors outside the control of the
protestors, The War may end to-
morrow, -but the forces which
caused it would still be operative;
it could start again the next day
someplace else, Then ‘‘The Move-
ment?’ will again be in a position
of merely protesting, not prevent-
ing, --—-. . acai :

Although it should continue to
point out the War and American
foreign policy for what it is, ‘“The
Movement’’ cannot allow itself to
be co-opted by the War and its
consequences. into ceasing its at-
tack on the ills of Americansociety
on other fronts as well, The only
possibility of real effectiveness
lies, in fact, in the continuation
of this attack,

If people are willing to put in so
much energy and time in organizing
for civil disobedience demonstra-
tions, if they are willing to spend
years in jail, I plead with them to
direct themselves back to their
fight against the basic ills of
society, ‘*The Movement’? may
have no hope for real advance as
long as the War continues, but if
it does not try--in spite of the
War--there is no hope for ‘‘The
Movement,’’

and as I was hurrying out the door
carrying a blanket, I ran smack
into my parents on their way in,

After greetings and the latest
news, my father surveyed the day’s
schedule (very similar to that of
a summer day camp) with amuse-

cookies at 11:00.’ My mother,
however, was intent on following
the activity chart, so off werushed
to Erdman for coffee.

The Tapestry Room was already

After morning coffee came Miss
McBride’s speech, parts of which
confused my parents and made
them wonder just how much of a

there was much time to think about
it, however, we had to rush back
to the dorm for lunch, The meal
represented an effort on: the part
of Saga to duplicate the simple ele-

The effort impressed my mother

Self-Gov Begins
Grass Roots Drive
With Hall Councils

Self Gov’s Executive and Ad-
visory Boards decided last week
to form hall councils in the dorms
in order to facilitate communica-
tions on the two main issues to be
resolved this spring, overnights
to Haverford and constitutional re-
vision.

In the past, it has seemed that a
great gap has existed between the
Self-Gov Boards and the student
body as a whole. The hall council,
composed of one representative for
every ten girls ina dormitory, will
present the questionnaire on over-
nights to Haverford’ which will be
distributed at the end of this week.

A member of the-hall council will.

be responsible for explaining the
questionnaire and encouraging dis-
cussion about itamong the ten girls
whom she represents. When the
final constitutional revision ballots
are ,composed next week, the
councils will distribute and explain
these. Because of the short time
that remains, this year’s hall coun-
cil will be appointed by the Hall
Presidents. Self Gov is very hope-
ful about the success of this effort

mocracy. od

: Teenyboppers Foil Interview

As Fugs Come On Romantic

by Marcia Ringel

The Village Fugs appeared (how
else could one express it?) at Town
Hall, Philadelphia, Saturday eve-
ning’ under the auspices of Jack
Warfield and Jerry Batoff of Phila-
delphia’s Record Mart, two inex-
perienced ‘‘impressarios”’ (so,
sic, reads a. sheet they distributed
at the concert).

The program consisted of the
Fugs’ own brand of fat-fisted sen-
sationalism, consciously heavy-
‘handed, but unself-conscious
enough to inspire a certain carnal
confidence. We feel that we are
ih the hands of masters. Their
words dispense with delicate
phraseology and euphemism in
pursuit of a more real idiom,
doubling over acknowledged four-
letter release words with original
terms whose meanings we grope
for by joining the Fugs in their
groove. Except that we never really
can, of course; that is one of their
greatest charms. The Fugs know

all, tell all, and make no bones

about it. They could be the only
honest dirty singers in the busi-
ness. In a manner of speaking,
they are romantics.

Most of the songs in the Fugs’
traditional repertoire were dredg-
ed out and delivered with pre-
cisely the same verbal introduc-
tions I heard Tuli use in a Green-
wich Village concert last Thanks-
giving. Two new ditties, however,
filled out this concert’s offer-
ings: ‘‘The Gobble,’’ a dance that
they claim will take over ‘‘like
the twist,’? and ‘River of Shit,’’
a subtle anti-Vietnam parody. The
thing about the Fugs is, they want
us to know where they stand --
or lie -- so that their message
may be socked to us with a mod-
icum of misunderstanding.
servatives pity them.

Fantastically, the Fugs are fine

Con-

‘Kill for Peace.” Lyrics are lit-
eral. Like the Beatles, the Fugs
write all their own music. Like
the Beatles. des

There was to be a press con-
ference after the show, but un-
fortunately every post-pubic
adolescent in Philadelphia was
there in full mini-regalia, dripping
off the edges of the stage by the
end of the last set and subse-
quently swarming over, around,
and through every Fug. Thus the
Fugs signed autographs and dis-
pensed much of their clothing as
souvenirs -- upon one guitarist,
by contrast, a thick-faced girl
pressed her fake mother-of-pearl
hair clip and, at his suggestion, a
kiss -- loving every bit of it (they
could have left, after all) and pre-
venting the scheduled interview,
at least for twenty minutes, after
which I stalked out coldly.

But yet in my heart I was
warmed by the message of the
muses of the cool world, who
may with the grace of God in-
corporate into their soon-to-be-
released third album Tuli’s final
caution to audiences in Philadel-
phia and New York: ‘‘Keep it out,
keep it up, and keep it in.’’

Bureau took up the case.

The detective sent to Bryn
Mawr gave his verdict that the

whole incident looked to him
like pure fraud, and that the maz-
azine subscription routine was
the oldest con game in history. He
feels that there is little chance

of recovering the money since a

bonding clause on the back of the
receipts given out states that the
solicitor is not an employee of
the company, and, therefore the
company bears no responsibility.

The police have not, however,
abandoned all hope of locating the

girls, Teletypes have been sent

out to surrounding states since

it is felt that the girls are not

likely to remain in-the Philadelphia
area. In fact, they should have
no transportation problem whatso-
ever. . At around 7 p.m. on
Thursday, a night watchman on
the campus saw the twogirls drive
off in’ a black Cadillac with a
New York license, driven by a
man who had obviously been
awaiting them.

four, The other 25 voting mem-

The Board of Directors meets
twice a year. It elects a 15-

which assembles every month and
makes the policy. decisions of the
Center. President Harnwell of
Penn, and the vice president
of Drexel are among those
on the Committee. Bryn Mawr and
Haverford have no position or vote
in the Executive Committee.

The Executive Committee has
already unanimously approved the
transferral of project Spice Rack

the Science Center, Dr. Mather
said.

The reactions of the member
‘institutions of the Center to the
switch have been varied, The Penn
faculty would like—to~see the
projects removed from _ the

University. In response to infor- -

mation that President Harnweli
secretly negotiated a renewal of
the Air Force Spice Rack Con-
tract last Janudry, the Faculty
Senate, in a meeting April 13,
voted 109 - 37 to criticize the
President and demand with-
drawal of the renewal agreement.

Hugh Borton, president of
Haverford and Courtney Smith,
president of Swarthmore, met with
the Executive Committee of the

discuss the projects. President
Smith spoke for Miss McBride,

role Bryn Mawr and Haverford

should play in them was held in
Denbigh yesterday afternoon. Mr.

Edward Herman, an Associate.

who has actively opposed Penn’s
involvement in germ warfare
spoke. The students who feel that
Bryn Mawr should withdraw from
the Science Center altogether be-
lieve the benefits of par-

the Science Centers programs are
less attractive than implicit
approval of germ warfare.

But Rather Long, Too Repetitive

by Robin Brantley

Contemporary expression came
over with a bang at the annual
Dance ClubC oncert Saturday night.

In a series of five dances (chor-
eographed by Paula Mason, direc-
tor of the Dance Club; Jacqueline
Siegel, Dance Club chairman; Liz
Schneider; and Alice Leib) Bryn
Mawr and Haverford students pre-
sented variations on themes of

illusory existence, creation and
destruction, love and sex.

Mrs. Masori’s ‘‘Atlantean Fan-
tasies”’ highlighted the evening. It
is unfortunate that it was the last
number on the program, as many
people who walked out at the sec-
ond intermission of the over production missed seeing it. The
dance was concernéd with crea-
tion, destruction, and recreation.

nor basement, and loading them
in a car before the Lower Mer-
ion Township police caught them
on Old Gulph Road. The Bryn
Mawr grounds crew saw them with
the poles Monday around 1:30p.m.
and called for permission to call
in the police. This was given by
Mrs... Whelihan, who- was having
lunch in the Deanery at the time.

At the hearing tomorrow, Lola
Atwood, president of Undergrad
and Barbara Oppenheim, vice
president of Undergrad, will ex-
plain the content of the agree-
ment made with Haverford’s Stu-
dents’ Council Monday morning --
that Bryn Mawr will not call in
the police if Haverford agrees
that any maypole-stealing they do
will not result in a loss of a pole
for the May Day ceremony it-
self, Both schools are attempting
to keep the festivities a collegiate
affair, and not to involve outside
forces as happened last year, when
five Haverford students were ar-
rested and fined.

John Forsythe, a vice presi-
dent and treasurer of the Board
of Trustees and a lawyer is work-
ing on some of the legal aspects
of the present problem. Accord=
ing to several members of the
Bryn Mawr administration includ-
ing Miss McBride, Bryn Mawr has
no intention of pressing charges.

Who is your ideal date? Thousands use Central Control and its high-speed
computer for a live, flesh-and-blood answer to this question.

as perfectly

Central
and alert subscribers, all sharing the desire to meet their
ideal dates, have found computer dating to be exciting and

ing meshed together beautifully as
they did in Mrs. Mason’s’ first
number, ‘Dreams and Night-
mares,’’ in which Andrea Stark

_ and James T. Clifford danced with

grace and assurance. Mrs. Ma-
Son’s use of talking in this dance

interested me, but I had the feel- *

ing the words could have been pan-
tomimed with greater effect.

One of the coficert’s nicest
qualities was the dramatic inten-
sity conveyed by each of the
dancers. I did not observe one
careless flip of the hand or one
bored face in the entire produc-
tion.

Liz Schneider’s dance seemed
to me to be the most professional
of the three numbers choreograph-
ed by Bryn Mawr students. Her
dance, ‘‘Angle of Incidence,” had
integration and purpose, although
I think its interest was weakened
by its length. ‘‘Gyres,” _choreo-
graphed by Jacqueline Siegel, had

a beautiful orange and yellow set.

which she used effectively tocom-
plement her dance. Having seen
Alice Leib’s imaginative choreog-
raphy for Haverford’s Class Night,
I was disappointed by her dance
‘Entrances; Piece-Wise Smooth.”
The dancers, who seemed lost for
anything better to do, gyrated on
stage in awkward positions.

The concert as a whole was
well constructed and the choreog-
raphy certainly allowed for great
expression from the dancers.
However, if the length of some of
the dances had been cut, one might
not have had the feeling of see-
ing reruns of large segments of
the program,
