Free Shows, Lunch at English Grill
Typical Fare for BMC Bowl Team

Bryn Moawr’s College Bow!

team has been: making each |

game a weekend event. Here
is the College Bowl team -at
play.

Many a theater usher in New York
is shaking her head in bewilder-
ment, and a few more may do so
yet. When the General Electric
Corporation blithely passes out
blocks of show tickets to its C ollege
Bowl contestants, it little dreams
the havoc such a group can wreck
on a theater. Groups of more than
three people ina theater are chron-
ically unable to find their seats, and
groups of eight or more, no matter
how rich in factual material, can
disrupt whole sections of seating.
Our group is especially critical, to
begin with, tending to glance at
proffered tickets and sneer.

If we deign to go to the show, we
seldom know the consecutive num-_
bers of our seats, or who exactly
is in our party. This necessitates
a piston-like bobbing around, or a
much more © graceful en masse
shifting which also blocks entire
sections of the stage for. people
unlucky enough to be seated behind
us. At “After The Rain,”
vagueness as to the nature of our
party led some of us to get as far
as, ‘‘Excuse me, Ma’am, but I
think we have all these...’’ before

"someone recognized Diane Os-

*theim’s mother, who ofcourse hada
legitimate seat.

The. Independent’ Urban Ed-
ucation Program being jointly set
up by the Philadelphia School
Board and the Friends Council
on Education needs Bryn Mawr
students for the pilot phase start-
ing February 1968.

The program involves helping

a school, Kearny Elementary in
northeast Philadelphia, become
more responsive to the needs of
the community around it, The Ford
Foundation has taken serious in-
terest in funding the program for
five years,

Six students will be chosen by
the end of this semester from
Bryn Mawr and Haverford, They
will live in the neighborhood, work
with the school, and with the fam-
ilies after school hours, These
students will be called school
community assistants, whose func-
tion is to upgrade the ‘‘dimen-
sions of classoom education for

Speaking of our unlucky neigh-
bors, Ashley Doherty, at ‘‘Rosen-
crantz And Guildenstern,”’

_ was the delight of the people in front

of her, under whose feet she per-
sisted in dropping a large light
bulb. They politely persisted in
returning it. And a girl who would
bring a light bulb. to a Broadway
theater might be in the party of a
girl who would wear a pea jacket
to a Broadway theater. This
stunning garment of Ruth Gais’s,
which she has recently ennobled
with a lapel pin, is always the
haute couture highlight of Mr.
Patten’s weekend.

Dining with a groupis justdandy,
too. We eat Saturday lunches with
the Other Teams in the English
Grill at Rockefeller Plaza, These
meals are inevitably followed by
marvelously snide sessions in the
N.B.C. ladies’ room. The waiters
in the grill know us now, and know
who eats her roast beef well-done,
who has the discrimination to take
it rare, who drinks milk, who likes
roquefort dressing, and who gets
what they call ‘rabbit food’’ --
plain salad. Repeated observation
has saved us from falling into the
trap sprung on the Notre Dame
captain: he ventured to order a beer
and was brought it, only to suffer,

‘on raising the glass to his lips,

its being knocked sharply from his
hand by an eagle-eyed N.B.C. tem-
perance leader, screeching, ‘‘No
beer!’ We go on the air unfortified

Ed. Project’s Pilot Phase
Open to BMC Students

Kearny students by developing pro-
grams in their special field of

interest and capability,’’? accord-
ing to Paul Wehr, Haverford so-

ciology teacher and Director of
the Center for Study .of the Non-
Violent Resolution of Conflict.

Students will also participate in
community developme nt
programs, leading activities in
which the community indicates an
interest. Part-time student vol-
unteers will also be needed for
this part of the project.

The workers who will be liv-
ing in the neighborhood still have
the possibility of receiving credit
for a semester’s work at their
college, Haverford’s Academic
Flexibility Committee has gone
much further in the plans for
allowing Haverford students credit
than Bryn Mawr yet has,

There is some chance that Bryn
Mawr girls may get credit for

participating in Haverford’s plan,

but whether a full semester’s cred-
it will be given has not. been de-
cided,

Students will receive $50 aweek
from the Philadelphia School
Board, out of which will be sub-
tracted room and board. There
will be a_ one-week orientation
session during intercession,

A meeting of interested students :

will be held Monday at 6 p.m. in
Stokes,

spiritually.

Lunches are orderly, because at
least the number of feeders is
known. After-game dinner is a dif-
ferent story. Robin Johnson is par-
ticularly prone to bringing along a.
battalion of well-wishers, and the
rest of us may bring supporters
too, or not show up at all. It is|
amazing the lack of perception
shown by maitres d’, who have been
heard to dismiss any number of =
hearty Mawrters as ‘‘a gang of %
young ruffians.”” They hardly re-
cognize the country’s intellectual
elite when they seé it. On the other
hand, one headwaiter showed envi-
able aplomb when he did not bat an
eyelash on being handed an iced
cake and a light bulb and being
told that the latter should be served
on the former. ‘‘Certainly, Miss,””
he said, Jeeves-like, and his crea-
tion later marked the birthday of
Ashley Doherty, who can cut a 6-
inch cake into thirteen pieces.

On our own, our only semi-group
entertainment has been seeing

















who didn’t, in ‘‘The African
Queen.’’ Mr. Patten saw anunder-
ground movie the first weekend, but
inexplicably refused to take anyone
with him, He also soloed, very ex-
plicably, in the sauna at the
Warwick Hotel, and is now trying
to have one appended to the new

library. Mary Laura Gibbs
