‘Leave of Absence Policy Cam

Authorized by College

There have always been stu-
dents: who have interrupted their
Bryn Mawr education with a year
or two involvement in some other
activity, but there has never been
a stated ‘leave of absence” policy.
With the exception of students in
the junior year abroad program
and girls who had left for rea-
sons of health, the criteria by
which a student who had with-
drawn from the College was re-

mediately after spring vacation.

Professor Bittel is President

stitute and Honorary Professor of
Prehistory and Early History of

Berlin. Before holding his present

offices, he was Director of the

tory and Protohistory at the Uni-
versity of Tubingen and Ordinarius

His six lectures will cover the

clear. Instead, stories -- valid-or
not -- of girls who had -been re-
fused readmission because of lack
of space have frightened several
people who would prefer to take a
year off to staying at the Col-+
lege.

In the fall of this year, one
Student wished to study for a
year at another US university.
There was no written policy on
this, but the student demanded
to know the terms on which she
would. or would not be permitted
to resume her academic career
at Bryn Mawr. Therefore, Miss
Vermey, the Dean of Admissions,
interpreted the ‘‘high level of
work”? which was the basis for
readmission after a year of in-
dependent study as an A-B aver-
age.

Objections to this standard were
made by several students who
pointed out the need for a clear,
complete, and accessible state-
ment of criteria for readmission.
They also suggested the institution
of a ‘‘leave of absence’ policy.

‘Miss Vermey recognized this’

need and called upon the Curricu-
lum Committee to appoint a group
of upperclassmen to write such a
policy, These three students, Ann

pus Completes Major Votes:

NEWS Gets Mandate: 433-103

Elections have finally been
completed for all campus-wide
positions.

New officers of Self-Gov
are Liz Thatcher, vice president;
Judy Liskin, secretary; and Jan

Oppenheim, first sophomore.
In a close race, Barbara Oppen-

heim is. the new Undergrad vice
president and Mary Berg the new
secretary, They will all officially

assume office after spring vacation

The final vote on this ballot
was the COLLEGE NEWS refer-
endum: ‘‘The NEWS cannot
continue publishing regularly
unless it receives support from

Undergrad. Therefore the Under-.

grad dues should be raised
from the present $11 a year
to not more than $14 a year, and
this increase should be given to

Required Voting Retained
In Close Balloting Tuesday

Legislature met last Tuesday
to vote on the revisions to the
Undergrad Constitution.

The meeting, which was
expected to be much quieter than
the one considering the revisions
to the Self-Gov Constitution to
be held after spring vacation, de-
veloped into a full-scale par-
liamentary battle over the
amendment which would have

abolished required voting in

campus elections.

This amendment involved the
small change of ‘‘each undergrad-
uate will cast one vote’’
to ‘‘each undergraduate may. cast
one vote.’ It was originally -dis-
cussed in Undergrad Executive
Board, where it passed by a small
majority, with the minority
opposing the change led by Under-
grad President Margaret Edwards.

In. Legislature Margaret pro-
posed an amendment to the
amendment, stating that if the
required vote were abolished, that
it would be on a provisional
basis only, to be reconsidered next
March. This passed unanimously.

Discussion on _ the original
amendment indicated the group was
just about evenly divided. Those
who opposed the change said that

if approved, it would ‘‘institution-
alize irresponsibility’? on the
campus. Those in favor of the
change cited the irresponsible
voting that now exists with stu-
dents voting who didn’t know
the candidates and couldn’t care
less who won.

The first vote was by voice,
and no majority could be deter-
mined. A division of the house
was called, and a hand count was
taken. This proved unsatisfactory
because there were several proxy
votes confusing the vote counters.
A motion was. made to count by
having all the ‘‘nays’” line up on
one side of the room all the
‘¢yeas” on the other side. This
was voted on, and defeated. The
original motion on the amendment
was again on the floor, and a roll
call vote was used. This time there
were no _ complications--except
that it was a tie. President Bev

This measure passed by a

-vote of 433 to 103 with 9 ab-

stentions, substantially more
than the required majority. The:
staff considers this somewhat
of a triumph, because over 100
of the ‘‘yes’ votes came from
people who do not now subscribe
to the NEWS-there are only about
300 student campus subscriptions
now.

One ‘no’? vote, in purple crayon,
included the post-script ‘‘Improve
your paper and your ethics first.’
Another ballot, this time a
**yes,’? had appended to it the
more constructive ‘‘However, why
not a merger with the ‘Haver-
ford News’?*’

The financial problems thus
seem to be solved for next year.
However a smaller problem still
exists until the end of this year,
There are scheduled six more
issues, two of which (the May '
Day and Commencement issues)
the College pays for, The NEWS
would probably be able to handle
the other four if it cuts back
to 4-page issues. The staff is also
attempting to discover the campus
sentiment on another joint issue
with Haverford.

Final elections, for + dorm
and class officers, are to be held
this week and next, with every-
thing to be. completed before
vacation.

on Never Again
-o, Now that elections are over, we find three distinct
* blems with the system, which, while they existed
_ before, seem to have been aggravated this year.
_- The first is the confusion with preferential voting, .
tis’ the subject’ of Nancy Gellman and Andrea
i's letter. Not only is this system confusing for
foter who may not feel very preferentially about
@ whole slate of candidates, but also difficult for
he winner, because she might be taking office know-
‘that she did not receive a majority of the ‘*1’’ votes

ae







“and perhaps not even a majority of the ‘1’s’’ and the
2s”? added together. There is also the theoretical
» Question of the propriety of a systemin which some
people are given more than one vote and others
~ (those whose first choice eventually wins) are not,
_ A second problem is with the required vote, Leg-
islature refused to even experiment in doing without
it forone year. We don’t see how any feeling of re-
Sponsibility is either demonstrated or fostered ina
system of forced voting. Beyond that, we object to
the present system on the grounds that although one

eS
sign

vote from every member of the Undergrad Associa- |

tion is required to validate an election, this has never
been the case, There seems to be a grey area where
the counter of the votes has the prerogative of
calling for a revote or not, In requiring a 100% vote,
the rule is asking for an impossibility.

Finally we have observeda great deal of dissatisfac-
tion with the dinner system, It was very. poorly at-
tended, especially in the large dorms, The system
takes a tremendous amount of the candidates time and
energy, much of which is invested in repetition,
Possibly one or two all campus sessions in the eve-
nings would be more profitable, both for the voters
and the candidates,

We suggest that action be initiated both from within
Undergrad and outside it to clean up the workings
of the election system and its theoretical under-
pinnings. There is no reason why another election
should be held under the present rules,

Coming and Going

The new policy on leaves of absence may set
trends in séveral areas, First, it is a working ex-
ample of student-administration cooperation in solv-

ing a problem which concerns both groups. Discuss-
ing the question of ‘‘leaves of absence’’ openly to-
gether, the committee concerned with the problem de-
veloped a position which will eliminate the fears and
-Misunderstanding caused by the lack of a stated pol-
icy.
“Not only is the joint development of a policy by stu-

™ dents and administration a good thing in itself, We

:








think that this particular policy exhibits an open-
minded and imaginative attitude toward education. By
~ making it easier for girls to leave Bryn Mawr and re-
turn later for any purpose, the committee acknowledged
that education can be sought in many ways, not only
through the institution of the college. Leaving for a
year does not necessarily mean a student is running
away from her problems at college, although she may .

California Dreaming»

_the ‘San Francisco Chronicle.”’

by Arthur Hoppe

The search for a new President
for the University of California
appeared a mere formality today
with the post almost certain to
go to Dr. Homer T, Pettibone,

While other distinguished Amer-
icans, such as J, Edgar Hoover,
General Curtis LeMay and Sena-
tor Eastland, have been mentioned,
Dr. Pettibone, except for one small
handicap, is ideally suited for the
position. -

Tall, broad-shouldered, silver-
chaired, Dr. Pettibone looks every
inch a university president. His
extensive wardrobe includes baggy
tweed jackets for strolls about the
campus, conservative pin-striped
suits for meetings of the Board of
Regents, and friends say his ele-
gance in dinner jackets will prove

a tremendous asset at fund-raising

banquets. -

But it is his forward-looking
program that has won him over-
whelming support. ‘‘A great uni-
versity,”? he says, ‘‘deserves an
unbroken record of excellence,
And our first requirements to
achieve that record are aquarter-
back who can throw long and a

- feels the present confusing ple-
thora of degrees should be re-
placed by a single one in Amer-
icanism. Each lecture hour, he
believes, should open with the
Pledge of Allegiance, a loyalty
oath, the Star-Spangled Banner
and a selection from the thoughts
of H. L, Hunt. The remaining 15
minutes, in the traditions of aca-
demic freedom, would be devoted
to whatever approved subject the
Student wished to minor in,

But, above all, Dr. Pettibone
hopes to project a. new image of
the student so that the public will
easily recognize a Cal man --
primarily by his shaved head and
blue denim uniform.

“This will be of great help
in rounding them up,” he explains
grimly, ‘in case some hardened
troublemakers stage a breakout,??

Needless to say, the majority
of Regents have been won by Dr.
Pettibone’s personality, his prd=
gram and his wide experience
in penology. And he would have
already been named the new uni-
versity president if it weren’t
for his one small handicap,

‘I think we should overlook
it,”” says one Regent enthusias-
tically, ‘After all, he’ll have plenty
of assistants who know how to
read and write,??

But Dr. Pettibone feels strongly
that a well-rounded university life
should also include academic pur=
suits, To this end, he has pro-
posed a new multi-million-dollar
building program -- primarily to
construct a 12 foot high wall around
each ‘campus topped with barbed
wire, searchlights, and guard tow-
ers,

“Order and discipline are es-
sential to a quiet scholastic at-
mosphere,’’ he says. ‘And I be-
lieve a widely~expanded campus
security force, armed with cattle
prods, will insure it.’?

No prude, Dr. Pettibone holds
that sex has its. place on each of
the university’s nine campuses,
‘*The female sex has its place
on four of the campuses and the
male sex on the other five,’? he
says firmly. ‘‘Co-education is sex
education.”’

To consume the time and ener-

_ 8y now wasted on the latter, Dr.-
Pettibone proposes a unique work-
study program, After classes each
day the students would be marched
to a new Student Activity and Jute
Mill Center, where they would
learn good habits, make potato
sacks and help put the university
on a paying basis.

As for students, Dr. Pettibone

Letters to the Editor

Elections

. To the Editor;

We think that several reforms
in the present system of elections
are necessary. First, we object
‘to the recent Legislature decision
to keep the required vote. As
those who favored this measure
were forced to admit, the entire
campus rarely votes in an elec-
tion despite the required vote, and
this lack of 100% participation does
not keep the votes that are turned
in from being counted and deciding
the election. We suggest that this
issue be brought before the whole
campus for a decision.

Second, the present preferential
voting system should be elim-
inated. According to the existing
procedures, a candidate, in order
to win, must receive a majority of
the votes cast, If no candidate re-
ceives a majority, the candidate
having the lowest number of votes
is eliminated and her ballots are
redistributed according tothe sec-
ond preference indicated. This
procedure is repeated until only
two candidates remain.

We think this system is unfair
because it gives undue weight to
the preferences of the voters who
prefer the least popular candi-
dates, The voter whose first choice
candidate is eliminated in thefirst

has a. second vote when her

second choice candidate is counted.

‘If the second choice is then

dropped, she has a third vote.

We object on principle to SOME
men, three votes!

Furthermore, in a recent Big
Six election in which four candi-
dates were running, no candidate
received a majority of the votes
on the first count, Candidate A,

who polled the largest number of

votes, was eleven votes ahead of
. B, When D was eliminated and her

?




We suggest that the entire vot-'
ing system be revised so that the
campus votes for all campus-wide
offices at once. Students interested
in running for an office wouldhave
to decide on one office rather
than try for several in different
elections and hope to win some
position. In fact, most defeated
candidates do not try for another
office, and the many elections
only make voting unpleasant and
lessen whatever interest the stu-
dent body might have in the whole
process.

If necessary, a primary would
be held to narrow the field to four
candidates, In the regular elec-
tion, each student could vote for
one candidate, and if no candidate

received a majority of the votes, —

a run-off election would be held

between the top two. This proce-

dure would give everyone voting

an equal voice in determining the
outcome.

To the Editor:

Since last fall the Haverford
Council has informed our Execu-
‘tive Board of the progress oftheir
constitutional changes, and our two
councils have met jointly several
times to discuss exactly what the
proposals meant, how they would
be received, and what effects they
might have on the bi-college com-
munity. In consideration for the bi-
college community, Jane Janover
consulted with Gene Ludwig and his
Council as she prepared the Ex-
ecutive Board statement concern-
ing overnight signouts to Ha-
verford. The Haverford Council

diate result for Bryn Mawr was
that, even though the Bryn Mawr
community had not discussed and
voted on a change in its ownrules,
the status of the overnight sign-
out was no longer perfectly clear.
Executive Board did not assume
that 500 Bryn Mawrters would

Director Butman and Cast Bring It Off Well

Sy

CREO OEE NEE Pe ee ET eG eR a


























The Caucasian Chalk Circle is the only one of Brecht?’s
plays that can derive part of its impact from a rich set-
ting, colorful crowds, exotic costumes, and the pageantry
of a historical drama, The joint production of the Bryn
Mawr College Theatre and the Haverford College Drama
Club on March 10 and 11 was proof that it can be done
without these trappings, too, and perhaps even better,

Except for a few steps, the stage was bare throughout, .

and all necessary stage props--tubs and pitchers, hunks
of cheese, bottles, and children--were made of cardboard,
Brecht would have winced at first, While he had no love
for the realistic stage a la Stanislavski, he always in-
sisted on utmost realism in functional props: A piece of
cheese had to be just that if the actors talk about it, and
especially if it gets eaten, Something was lost through
the absence of detail, and through the invariability of the
set, but it was more than recaptured in the resulting con-
tinuity, lightness, and tempo, Many a professional pro-
duction of the Chalk Circle has been bogged down in the
manipulation of a cumbersome set, If Brecht had seen
the mechanics of the revolving stage become the focus
of attention in the flight of Grusha in the Lincoln Center
production of last year, he would have done more than
wince, Without making any major cuts (other than
Brecht’s unfortunate prelude), director Butman brought
off the play in two and a halfhours --probably something
of a record,

One way to judge the production of a play containing
both comic and tragic elements is to count how often the
audience laughs in places where it should not, By this
criterion, the group did very well, In the Saturday per-
formance, it happened only twice.--an excellent count
in a play as mixed in its emotions as the Chalk Circle,
Both times, incidentally, it had to do with inadequate
functional props. Scenes that have come to be every
director’s bane, as Grusha’s crossing the bridge, or
Grusha’s and Simon’s exchange of vows, were done su-
perbly.

Motivation was one of the details that bored Brecht,
In the Chalk Circle, no one, including the playwright,
could possibly be sure just whois rebelling against whom
at a given moment, or what is supposed to be going on
in Azdak’s mind at some points, Such incongruities in
the script were handled with great aplomb, in part thanks
to Chris Kopff’s portrayal of Azdak,

This is the most muddled and frustrating, and at the

same time one of the most rewarding roles in the modern

by Hugo Schmidt
Associate Professor of German

repertory. It comprises all the qualities that Brecht
liked to show in man: joy inlife and raving fear of death,
sarcasm and humaneness, a screaming sense of justice
and a cynical sybaritism; and as a common denomina-
tor, Brecht’s own quizzical insistence: You wouldn’t
really expect me to make sense, would you! Chris Kopff
knows how-to act, His Azdak was fresh, full of life, and
convincing at every moment of the wildly vacillating part,
The roles of Grusha and Simon put different demands on
the actors: amidst the riotous villainy that surrounds
them, they have to be simple, honest, and not a bit funny,
Faith Greenfield and James Emmons are-to be congratu-
lated, They carried through the impossibly difficult parts
with the kind of straightforward simplicity that many pro-
fessional actors lose, Their confrontations, passages
where audiences usually approach the chuckle threshold,
kept everyone breathless, One could criticize that Miss
Greenfield looked really too lovely for a kitchen maid,
and seems to have set out on her trek through the snow-
covered Northern Mountains without shoes but with a
generous supply of quality shampoo --but these are after-
thoughts that did not interfere with the enjoyment of her
performance,

No one in the big cast stood out through incompetence,
everyone spoke well, and most parts were in fine hands,
Ensemble work was good, and the play was well-rehearsed
To be sure, some scenes did not come off quite as well
as others, In the wedding of the dying peasant, for exam-
ple, the cast did not reach the full measure: of corruption
that Brecht wanted to present, Small wonder: it is adult
corruption, and in its wickedness still out of the reach of
our young performers, The same applies to the presen-
tation of the Ironshirts, Here Brecht shows the profes-
sional soldier, a conglomerate of all the sergeants in all
the armies in world history, Their appearance should
cast an icy spell over the stage, And when they joke,
the audience’s hair should stand on end, amidst all the
laughter, But when our soldiers cavorted across the
stage of Goodhart, it was--thank goodness!--more like
scenes that might have happened in front of Founders’
Hall, if the request for unrestricted visiting hours had
not been granted,

Special words of praise go to Stephen Bennett for a pro-
fessional rendition of the narrator’s part, and to Mr,
Davison for his. musical score which, we hope, will not
be shelved away for good,

And Throughout the Silent Halls
‘A Shout Rang Out-"Apache Door!”



TL Vietnam Week Set in April;
~ Area Colleges Plan Teach-In





The Student Mobilization Com-
mittee has designated April 8-15
as Vietnam Week for students all
over the country, and the Social
Action Committees. of Haverford
and Bryn Mawr are planning their
contributions tothe activities. .

The purpose of setting aside this
week for concentration on Vietnam
is to increase student awareness of
the nature and implications of the
war, in Asia and in the United
States. The Committee also hopes
to demonstrate opposition to the

secretiveness of the leaders who
determine and execute our foreign
policy, and -the relation of U,S,
policy in Vietnam to American
society today might be discussed.

Wednesday and Thursday nights
(April 12 and 13) outside speak-
ers and perhaps a film are be-
ing scheduled, |

It is hoped that in pointing out
some. of the realities of the war,
workable means_and directions of
change in U.S, policy - domestic
and foreign - will come to light.

Vietnam Week will be high-
lighted by: demonstrations in New
York and San Francisco on Satur-
day, April 15. The Social Action
Committee is investigating possi-
ble means of transportation from
Philadelphia to New York on that

. day.

To supplement the national
drives, many campuses are or-
ganizing local teach-ins, strikes,
and vigils, Haverford and Bryn
Mawr are joining with Penn, Tem-
ple, and Swarthmore in.an effort
to pool speakers and finances for
a teach-in on Tuesday, April 11.
Staughton Lynd, John McDermott,
Carol Brightman and others have
been asked to participate. Those
who accept will speak at as many
of the five campuses as they can
on April 11,

Haverford and Bryn Mawr are

also thinking of setting up their

own lectures and discussions dur-
ing Vietnam Week. Sunday, April
9, a series of workshops led by
faculty from the immediate area
is being planned. Topics such as
alternatives to the U.S, foreign
policy of anti-communism and in-
tervention; the remoteness and

previous measure, because ap-
parently a ‘‘yes’’? vote was meant
to have been a ‘‘no’”’ vote. After
voting to reconsider, another roll
call vote was taken, and with
the switched vote, the required
voting provision in the -constitu-
tion was retained.

The social committee changes,
which basically permit the Fresh-
man and Sophomore. classes
to run the committee rather than
the junior class (because - the
underclassmen are presumably
more interested in mixers
than the upperclassmen) passed
after omitting the sentences
allowing the two chairmen to also
act as voting Undergrad reps from
their classes. Instead they will
have one vote between them and
will represent the social com-
mittee.

With these changes, the whole
Constitution was voted on and

ble benefits in: it.

The only question concerned the
financial feasibility of a January
to January or a one semester
leave. However, it was decided
that the College would try a2 one-
semester leave, and, thus, enable
a student to leave or return at
the beginning of any semester.

The policy, completed and’ap-
proved, permits a girl to use the
period of her leave for any pur-
pose, e.g. work, travel, study,
leisure. However, the leave must
be applied for beforehand. A de-
parture in the middle of a semes-
ter or a transfer to another col-
lege (as opposed to a year of in-
dependent study) will be considered
a withdrawal, and the student will
have to-apply for readmission and
take her chances on being ac-
cepted a second time. With the
‘leave of absence,” a _ student
takes no chances -- she knows
that she can return.

to Haverford would involve 2
change in the nature of the Bryn
Mawr community and in the repu-





tation of the college. We felt that "J





first, a change in the status of
our overnight rule should come not
as aresult of the Haverford change,
but as a result of a decision
made by our student body; and
second, that Executive Board had

an. obligation to make it clear *
how it wouldhandle overnightsign- |
outs to Haverford until that time. }

The Bryn Mawr constitution pro-

vided Executive Board with two @

arguments in support of the stand
presented in the statement. First,
the constitution says a girl ‘‘may
sign out overnight to’? and then
lists appropriate overnight sign-
outs. Haverford College is not
among them. Second, the discre-
dit clause gives the Executive
Board the right to deal with cases
of possible discredit to the col-
lege and its community even though
these cases may not be speci-
fically dealt with by the rules,

The NEWS was right to a cer-
tain extent -- our statement was
in a sense an attempt to “‘affirm

the past.’”’ However, our purpose §

in affirming the past was not con-
servative. We felt that changes
in the rules must come about inan
orderly fashion and only after
careful consideration by students;
and until this happens, it is ne-
cessary that confusion and ambi-
guity be avoided -- thus our im-
mediate statement and our hope
that the new officers will handle
any lasting change appropriately.

Student responsibility in handling
the issue of Haverford signouts is
of great importance for the future
of the new Haverford rules, of our
present overnight signout rules,
and for the proposed constitutional
revisions. - Bi-college communica-
tion and consideration are unavoid-
able and of primary importance.
If our present and future systems
of government are to be realis-
tic, practical and honest, we must
remember although Haverford and
Bryn Mawr are not one college,
neither are they separate commu-
nities.

The issues of the Haverford rules
changes, the Bryn Mawr overnight
signout, the bi-college community
and the proposed constitutional re-
visions are closely related. We
must face the fact that these four
issues cannot be clearly separated
from each other. In dealing with
the key proposals. in particular,
we must first decide what kind of
community we want Bryn Mawr to
be. If we decide we want keys and
the right to use them between 2
and 8 a.m., we will certainly have
to consider Haverford’s stand on
overnight women guests and the
entire status of the Bryn Mawr

overnight signout.

For example: Should BrynMawr
girls. be allowed to sign out to
Haverford after 2a.m.? overnight?
until 7:55 a.m.? If keys were
given out only on request from the
hall president or executive board,
how would this authority decide
whether or not a girl could use the
key to stay at Haverford? Should
everyone have a keyall the time? If
so, does she have the right to phone
the warden at 1:30 a.m. to wake
the hall president to change her
‘signout to 8 a.m.? Should both
freshmen and seniors be able to
Stay at Haverford between 2 a.m.
and 8 a.m.? Even if Haverford
does not allow women guests over-
night, will they consider a Bryn
Mavr girl who returns from Ha-
verford to Bryn Mawr at 7:55
am. to have spent the night at
Haverford? These are just a few
of the questions that need to be
answered before the key proposal
can be made workable in face of
the Haverford situation.

I, both as an individual and as
Self-Gov vice-president, am not
against individual freedom of
choice, nor the principle of con-
stitutional revision. I am very
much. aware of the problems and
frustrations an. individual is often
faced with by virtue of her position
as a member of a women’s resi-
dential college. However, changes

. ‘A. We. started shooting in
early November and finished in
early December. Since then I per-
sonally ‘have been editing the
film and putting on the sound
track. The idea to make the film
just came to me on Halloween night,
in case you were going to ask
that. -

Q. Oh, I was, of course,
But the first question, I know,
on everyone’s lips--

A. Is “why?” That’s a
stupid question. Does Art need
justification? —

Q. No, the first question

that looks good enough to go on a poster.

-. your background as a director

si we have it is
on one papi of a story be-
longing = to a ~ centuries-old

oral tradition. Each time thestory —

was written down it naturally got
changed around a little--incidents
got thrown out or rearranged or
cleaned up or whatever,
characters got omitted or dup-

licated or altered or whatever,

all according to the tastes and.

prejudices of the writers or of /

their audiences.

My mission, as I saw it,
was to figure out and film the
original story, as it actually
happened (it is all connected with

a historical incident, after
all)--no distortions, _no am-
biguities, but bare facts!

In . mangling--excuse me-- -

adapting the plot for the film

consulted the Scandinavian sagas .

for other versions of the story, of
course, but I also turned to some
modern works which seemed to me
to. reflect. the atmosphere of the
old story and to suggest ideas for
its treatment in ‘the film. I refer
to modern works like ‘The
Hobbit,’’ certain ‘‘Zorro’’ screen-
plays, ‘‘Worlds in Collision’
and so-on. However, as I said
before, we are retaining the medie-
val setting of the Nibelun-
genlied, even though our story

‘is much older.

Q. So the production--costumes,
armor and all--is meant to be
authentically medieval.

A. Well, the effect we
aimed for could best be described

as seedy medieval. The characters -

in this film aren’t exactly thir-
teenth-century jet setters.

Q. Speaking of characters,
tell me about your cast.

A. We have a cast of ten.

Q. How did you ever get
Penny Small to play Siegfried?

A. Oh, that was easy.
Once while we were filming, some-
one asked her why she was

ty

that she was going through an
identity crisis. So I guess you
can take her word for it. The
rest of the cast had a more dif-
ficult ‘time of it; their parts
were, I think,” real challenges.
Liz Hanna is playing the entire
population of a small country.
This includes a royal family whose
blood is thinner than water. Margie
Westerman doubles as Brunnhilde
and Attila the Hun. Andra
Oakes has a role which calls
for an unusual kind of singing.
Priscilla Robbins Plays a dwarf.
Sue Scarpelli plays God. Pam Bar-
ald turns into a dragon before
your very eyes. We hired one
professional--I. will have to
admit--a Valkyrie who is listed
in the ‘credits as-Ann Platt. We
_ also have three genuinely weird

Most of the “‘Nibelungenlied’’

and cinematographer.

A. Well, I have only made
two short films before this movie.
Both are pretty representative of
my style: View Out My Window,’?
a sort of abstract thing, and ‘‘ The
Carving of the Halloween Pumpkin,
1966’’--a documentary which also
featured Penny Small, who carved
the pumpkin,

Q. Was the BMC -Haverford
Film Group involved in this at
all?

A. Oh, now, I don’t want
to drag them into this. I take
full responsibility for my acts.
They helped me. out a little. on
some points, but that was all in
good faith. They couldn’t have
stopped me if they had tried. Now
about my techniques--none of that

close-up _ stuff. That came
in later. I--
Q. How about sound? Is

this--pardon the expression--
a talkie?

A. Well, even the silent
films of old had musical accom-
paniment, and this film has
absojutely stunning sound
‘track, It was composed especially
for. us by two promising young
composers. you’ve probably never

| heard of--our own Joan Briccetti

(you must remember her work on
the score of Freshman Show) and
Dick Wagner, a German (ever
hear of ‘Rienzi?’ Well, no
matter). Anyway, our sound track
really runs the old gamut. Real
old-time stuff alternating with
avant-garde effects. We even have
some atonal singing.

Q. That sounds very effective.

A. It is. London and Victor
have already released albums of
portions of the sound track. No
kidding. And Deutsche Gram-
mophon is coming out with
its own version.

Q. Well, all I have left
to ask is when this film will
be shown.

A. Well, the premiere will,
of course, be open to Rockefeller
Hall and invited guests (all the
stars will be there, and bigcritics
like Crowther--you must re-
member her--so it should be
a pretty big deal). Otherwise I

all they have to do is ask and.
I’ll show it. I’d like to remind
the public to bring glasses if
they do see it. It has dialogue
