Signouts Vanish
In Saturday Night
Hallowe’en Thefts

The disappearance of signout
books from Bryn Mawr dormito-
ries Saturday night, trick or treat
night, was ‘‘definitely not our
treat,’’ states Emily Bardack,
President of Self-Gov.

It appears that the culprits, who

‘removed ‘both: overnight and’ eve-::

ning signout books early Saturday
night, were Haverford freshmen,
Emily reports that Haverford Stu-
dent Council .officials were very

was the only one not deprived
‘of its book.

-Séme of the books were re-
turned before 12:30Saturday night,
-and‘some did not come in until
the. next morning. The bookless
dorms attempted to make do with
extra signout sheets for those
who had not yet signed out, al-
though it \had no record of the
missing signouts.

- Emily stressed the severity of
the problem of missing books on
two counts; first, Saturday night
was a night when students were al-

‘lowed to. sign. out until. 3:30. by

special permission of Self-Gov.
arid second, signout books are not
for public consumption, although
the individuals who removed.them
went so.far as to tear out some
pages.. Thus if a student did not
come in at the curfew, a search
for her would begin later than

~ usual, and in the absence of the

books, her absence might not even
be. definitely noticed.
The _lantern_men were natural-

» ly most upset by the. theft of thee

books.

Emily stated that Self-Gov. had
taken no steps as of yet to further
safeguard the books, ‘‘It would be
a pity and not really necessary
under normal conditions to chain
the books down; this is really
not a constructive answer.”’

versality of this Greek drama.

_mance, the more universally the

themes can be applied. She hopes

that the technique will therefore

BMC Election Operation Merits

By. Nanette Holben
and Laurie Deutsch

‘This is not a rehearsal, and
we can’t do it again next Tuesday
night,’?’ joked NBC’s state elec-
tion manager Don Farmer, never-
theless implying the seriousness
of Bryn Mawr’s part in tabulating
the Pennsylvania returns. ° :

Approximately 500 Bryn Mawr-
ters, organized by Sandy Shapiro

‘and Betsey Pinckney, worked an

average eight hours at Convention
Hall in Philadelphia where they

-aided the. Network Election Serv- -

ice, a pool of five news media
united to increase efficiency and
cut cost.

After the operation Farmer
labeled BMC girls‘‘great, tremen-
dous ; "good leaders, ~ well-
organized, If I hadn’t had Betsey
and Sandy, I’d have beenin serious
trouble -- the work was. too much
for one person.’’

He went on to cite the ‘‘beauty
of working with students,’? who
‘‘picked up their jobs fast ina

complex operation where indivi- :

dual training was impossible.’’

_The majority of girls were tele-
phone operators (minus ' bouffant
hairdos-at Mr. Farmer's request),
accepting calls from 9286 voting
préeincts, which reported results
for presidential, senate and’state
congressional races.

Messengers hiréd from Temple
University relayed congressional

“returns to special desks for tabu- © «

lation, while slip sorters and
county tabulators filed, sorted and °
tabulated the other returns at
county tab tables.

Results then went to adding ma-

and tally clerks figured percen- —

tages.

Throughout the process clip-
board keepers stationed along
county and congressional tab tables

to the state desk, which relayed
the information by direct line to
the NES New York headquarters.

to the five arms of news media

100 Bryn Mawrters, Havertordians-
Involved in Antony and C leopatra

By Carol Garten
At a. rehearsal of Antony ard
Cleopatra this past week, College
Theatre Director Robert Butman

rejected the scholarly notion that~

the play concerns the fall of human
dignity. He :sustituted the theory
that ‘‘the play is about Cleopatra
becoming a woman, and Antony
becoming a map, in the simplest
sense of the words.’’|

Just what ‘*becoming a woman”?
entails he left somewhat vague,
although he did throw some light

-on-the- picture. when-he-commented. -:

that ‘‘the play’ is about knowledge
that..can be learned only through

‘the expression and constant testing
“of love---in the case of Antony

and, Cleopatra, only through a mu-
tual willingness to die for each
other.”?

Still in a chtlosophival mood,
Mr. Butman remarked that-he-
thought Shakespeare to have beena
being*of ‘‘utter compassion’’. He
advised that in order to fully com-
prehend Shakespeare’s genius, we
must look beyond the lines of his



“plays and listen for the sheer ~

magic behind them. ‘‘For Shakes-

‘peare,’”? he declared, ‘teaches
.everything this side of pr

ophecy.”

for the modern audience. In addi-
tion to a new emphasis, Napoleonic
costuming is another distinct fea-

ture of the production. Mr. Butman

equates its..ornateness with the

ornateness of Shakespeare’s verse.

The set, in stark contrast with
the costumes and verse, is to be
very simple. It is a block set,
consisting of platforms-and-incon-
secutive series of steps scattered

" purposefully about the stage. The
“simplicity of the set serves the
