Bryn Mawr, Haverford Anticipate
Increased Tuition, Salaries, Costs
·i
By DAVID WESSEL
Students at both Bryn Maw r and Haverford will probably have to pay increased
tuition for the 1972-73 academic year . The
situation is complicated by increasing costs,
the financial straits of the colleges, and
the national economic situation.
Haverford President John Coleman expressed " hope that our total increase _ ..
won't be more than 5%-'' He claims this
is about half of the figure being discussed
at other institutions. Drawing on his knowledge as an economist, Coleman expects that
tuition will be exempted from the 2.5%
price increase guideline currently being
talked about in Washington .
Salaries
In regard to salaries, Coleman said,
"We will operate within the 5-1 / 2% guideline ." giving ''something close to that
figure fol,' most faculty a nd staff." He reports that senior administrators will probably not be getting raises .
Bryn Mawr President Harris Wofford
anticipates a hike in the 5 - 10%- area . He
said the college is making "efforts" to keep
the increase in costs below 5%. Bryn Mawr
now has $8 million dollars in reserves
($4.2 million already committed to the new
heating system) and is losing about $1
million of that s um annually due to deficits
in the operating budget.
Wofford said that the situation is still
"fluid," partly due to the Nixon Administration's Price Board's deliberations.
He adds, "We must engage in a major effort toward getting capital . . . we are not
expecting that salvation to come from
the Federal government.' '
The cost and fees committee will meet
with the executive committee of the Stu dent Government Association on Sunday
night to present their recommendations.
The proposals will be made public at that
time.
By KATIE HUTCHINSON
The Haverford coeducation and expansion committee sponsored an open meeting Tuesday night in Stokes to discuss
its six preliminary recommendations . The
group emphasi zed that its s uggestions were
subject to change.
·
The committee' s proposals were as follows:
" The student body should be increased
to such size as to maintain an average
enrollment of 725 for the academic year
1972-73 and thereafter.
"In view of the cost of obtaining further student housing and of maintaining
additional faculty and services, as well
as the possibl e ill effects on the social
and academic atmosphere of the College,
no further expansion beyond that of recommendation 1 should be contemplated.
"Haverford should no longer consider itself a men's -college.
''Because of the possible damage to cooperation with Bryn Mawr at the academic,
social, and administrative levels and because Haverford is probably not ready to
create an atmosphere such as to encourage th maximum development of women
students as people, Haverford should not
admit women 1\_S freshmen.
" On the other hand, since women beyond the freshman level are a little older
and more abl e to cope with any obstacles
or difficulties which they encounter, Haverford should accept women transfers.
" Haverford should make the strongest
efforts possible, consistent with maintain-

an affirmative financial response.
The Patrons of Art, organized to support fine arts at Haverford and to make
availabl e to the community opportunities
offered through Haverford's fine a rts prog ram, plans events s uch as exhibits, lectures, and recitals. The first activity will
be a two-week festiva l, beginning Sunday,
Dec . 5, entitled ' ' The Complete Man's

greater cooperation , through a more extensive do rm exchange, larger cross-registrations, particula rly at the freshm an
level , and through other means. "
Expansion
Discussing the first recommendation,
Prof. Louis Green, committee chair man,
stated that expansion by 25 students would
be economically feasible; it would bring
in extra revenue and would not increase
costs "substantially. " Commenting on the
third, Green noted that the degree of cooperation between the two schools had
progressed so far that Haverford can no
longer be called a male institution.
Haverford does not have enough women
on the faculty to be called prepared to educate women, Green continued, commenting on the fourth recommendation .
Open Discussion
Following the presentation of the proposals, Green opened up the meeting for
discussion . Among the issues raised in the
discussion were Haverford ' s relationship
with Bryn Mawr, whether Haverford is
ready to go coeducational and the special
problems of freshmen.
Cooperation between Haverford and Bryn
Mawr would definitely suffer if Haverford
accepted women , Green and other committee
members stated. The dorm exchange would
diminish, said Dean J ames Lyons , and a
" dimension of variousness " would be lost.
In answer to student questions , committee
members stated that the few women trans fers who would be accepted wer e not going
to make Haverfor d a coeducational school.

By STEPHEN EVANS
In opposition to a decision made at the
faculty Meeting of November 18, a three man committee consisting of Haverford
President Jack Coleman,
Dean David
Potter and Prof. Louis Green has recommended that Haverford remain without a
conversion scale for grades submitted to
the Law School Data Assembly Service

a conversion scale similar to that recently
adopted by Bryn Mawr, as follows:

EIP, Nonviolent Conflid Center
Map Out Expansion of Programs
By JAY McCREIGHT
A radical expansion of the activities of
the Center for Nonviolent Conflict Resolution and the Educational Involvement Program was the major topic discussed at
Wednesday's meeting of the educationa l
policy committee. The new expanded academic extension program (AEP) would
embrace three levels of student involvement: inner-city off-campus semester projects, single-course field work, and extracurricular service field work .
In setting forth the case for the new
program, Marty Dickson, suburban coordinator for EIP, noted the limitations of
the EIP as: not providing a close enough
relationship between social science students
and their respective departments; and not
providing field experiences unrelated to the
Center's conflict management purposes in
the work /s tudy program. The purpose of
AEP , she stated, would be to both integrate
the program and the social sciences departments and provide for the development
of field work for students in a ll disciplines .
The inner - city semester would consist of
three separate work / study units, dealing
with: urban education (involving interning
in the Philadelphia school system); metropolitan politics and community development
(involving work with community organizers
and citizens ' action groups as well as
federal agencies); and total care institutions (involving prison, hos pital and nursing
home work). On-site seminars for each
work/ study unit would be provided by the
respective social science department, and
each student involved would be required to
take one on-campus course selected in

consultation with his major advisor. AEP
would provide for the placement, work
supervision, and housing of students.
Single course field-work would be developed to enhance and enrich a particular
course through community involvement.
Specific channels and resources would be
worked out by the AEP Director , the student and the faculty advisor.
Extra-curricular service placement will
involve the development of a volunteer
service program, similar to the phasedout arts and services program. In addition,
the Center will continue its present program of education and community service
separate from students' academic pro grams.
The AEP would be evaluated continuously
over its three-year initial period by the
social science fac ul ty, an AEP committee
and the staff of the Center. The eventual
proposal will probably be a cooperative
document embracing faculty and students
from Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore
and the University of Pennsylvania.

MAC Preview
(Contimted from page 1 0)
Dickinson and Moravian base their darkhorse playoff hopes on radically different
strengths . The Devils have a trio of 6'7
players, but have lost top scorers Lloyd
Bonner and Bob Shapero. Jeff Thompson,
brother of Don Thompson '70, is a fine
prospect at forward. The 6' 5 junior scored
15 points in as many minutes against
Haverfor d last year. In addition, Dickinson
has 5'3 playmaker Frank Noonan, the smallest man in college basketba ll last year.
Dickinson was the most inconsistent team
in the league last year.
Moravian had no starters over 6'2 for
the bulk of last season, but only a seasonending defeat kept the Greyhounds from
beating Hopkins out for the fourth playoff
spot. No important letterman graduated,
but Moravian also had the weakest fresh man contingent in the league. Scott Thacher
must remain healthy at forward and 6 ' 4
Mike Rosko has to develop at center
Out of Picture
F & M, Washington, and Western Maryland can all be counted out of the playoff
picture from the start. Franklin and Marshall, 4- 9 in the league last season , lost
its only two respectable players , Steve
Bierly and Yogi Hiltner. Its freshman
team, led by Steve Squareski, was no
world-beater, either. The two Mary land
teams had a combined record of 5-17 in
the conference.
·If Haverford doesn ' t beat Swarthmore
this year, it will not have the alibi of
recent years-- Swarthmore ' s tremendous
height. The Garnet have lost their 6'5's,
Jim Clymer, Ken Jewell, and Craig DeSha, plus 10 ppg playmaker Paul Schechtman. All-conference guard Rick Miceli,
second in the Southern Division 's scoring
race last year, and John Humphrie, who
moved from the freshman team to the
varsity starting unit during the corse of
last season. are the top returners.
PreliminQry
Recommendations
Coleman Pleased at Recommendations
(Con tinued from pate 1)
By CHUCK DURANTE
Haverford President John Coleman told The NEWS, " I am very happy with the proposals " contained in the first draft of the Green committee 's preliminary recommendations, even though they were "obviously less than I had hoped for ."
Coleman called the recommendations " a very workable arrangment. It gives us a
strong presence of women here, yet keeps our relations with Bryn Mawr strong."
He also said he was " particularly pleased" on the recommendation that Haverford
increase its student body by 25 students. He said he hoped the increase is not necessary, but ''I agree with them that there is room for 25 students .''
Concerning the implementation of the recommendations , Coleman said, "If we are
serious about the Green committee recommendations, we'll have to present ourselves
as a College that admits m en freshmen , but with a coeducational environment."
Nothing from Students
Coleman added, " If there is an agreement from the campus , it could be presented to
the Lentz committee" in the near future as representative of campus opinion. He
complained, however, that "I still have not gotten word from the student body" in its
feelings.
The Lentz committee is the group chosen among the Board of Managers to investigate
the coeducation proposal. The committee includes Robert Balderston, Robert Chase ,
Maxwell Dane, John Gummere, James Katowitz, Louis Matlack , Martha Stokes
Price, Maurice Webster, student representative Neil Stafford, and committee chairman
Bernard Lentz . Coleman and Board Chairman Jonathan Rhoads serve on the committee in an ex officio capacity . The committee met for the first time Tuesday ,
at which time they discussed the Green committee's preliminary recommendations.
Important Sentence
Coleman said that the recommendation that Haverford no longer consider itself a
men ' s college "is a very important sentence. It has a lot to do with how we desc r ibe
ourselves to the outside. "
Coleman pointed out that the new , yet unpublished, edition of Have rford Today may
have some small, but important changes in wording as a result of this recommendation .
The recommendations will be discussed this afternoon at 4 at a meeting of the committee with the faculty. Approval of the proposals by faculty meeting is necessar y
for them to be presented to the Board of Managers.
The commiuee members emphasized that
Haverford was unready to accept women as
equals . '·There are no women role models
here, " Lyons stated. Green noted that the
male-dominant attitude at Haverford even
showed up in literature about the school,
which talks about "' men " and not "students. ''
The special problems of freshmen were
discussed, with several students calling for
more joint introductory courses. President
John Coleman pointed out that only half the
number of Bryn Mawr freshmen who took
Haverford courses last year are doing so
this year .
Two 1970-71 reserves, Rich Harley and
Bob Furia, will team with Miceli in a
three -guard offense. No clear favorite has
emerged in the three-way battle for the
other frontcourt position. The contenders
include returning reserves John Peterson
and Clay Sieck and sophomore Mike Jackman. Jackma n has the most potential.
Fords
If you ' ve been counting, seven of the
eight contenders have already been listed.
After Wednesday ' s opening win over a
strong Ursinus team, Haverford is to be
considered a legitimate contender. Haverford has th ree of the best sophomores
in the MAC plus proven competitors in

tained by Haverford seniors fit in the 87 100 bracket, and a little over 50% . fit
in the 80 - 89 bracket. The committee was
distressed by the fact that the adoption
of the new conversion system would be
to ask that 30% of the seniors " be given
the very highest point equivalent which the
LSDAS employs. We felt that such a step
would be unjustified,'' was their comment
in the memorandum issued to faculty and
seniors on Nov. 30 . On the basis of the
LSDAS scale, on the other hand, 15.6%
of the seniors receive A's, and the
comittee felt that this percentage was
'' reasonable. ''
Comparisons with competing colleges
were also made, to determine whether
the LSDAS scale somehow put Haverford
at a disadvantage because of inappropriate
scales adopted by the other schools. All
of the other schools contacted used the
LSDAS scale, among them Amherst, Harvard, Oberlin, Princeton , and Yale. "Since
most of the institutions with which we
consider ourselves in competition make
use of the LSDAS scale and since this
scale appears to interpret our grades
fairly , we decided that the College should

Feminism
To the Editor:
Proposals for action at Bryn Mawr
which were mentioned in the di s cussion
after four feminists spoke at BMC include
the following :
1) To be a women's college , both in
1;tudent body and faculty . At present, forty
percent of the faculty is female with a
disproportionately large percentage hold ing the lower positions. (The BMC faculty
also instructs a coed graduate school.
Still, the faculty should be at least fifty
percent female and have no discriminatory
disproportion in level of position.)
2) To have more feminist analysis in
the class room in the relevant disciplines
- - humanitie s and social sciences . This
can be done by integrating more feminist
analysi s into present cla ss es and by
having more Women Studies cla s se s to
augment the one now offered (two next
semester) .
3) To encourage professional partici pation of wom e n in the sciences, law,
and busine s s. Pressure medical, law , and
business school s to increase women's
enrollment to fifty percent, and provide
stiiJdents ready to enter such schools.
4) To reque s t alumnae to open jobs
for women .
The above are not listed in the order
of their importance. All are important.
All should be begun now.

To the Editor:
I would like to answer Phil Tramdack's
letter (NEWS, Nov. 20) concerning the towing of illegally parked cars. In the particular case he mentioned, the car was parked in a space which was not only reserved
for the doctor normally, but was at that
time needed clear for the construction
presently going on,
When towed cars are kept at the Getty
station, the rotors are removed to prevent
anyone, not just angry owners, from stealin£ the car at night.
Mr. Iacovelli, the owner of the station
has apologized for the breaking of the dis~
tributor.
He explained
that an inexperienced employee mixed up two rotors,
and the damage to Mr. Tramdack's distributor was done by trying to replace the
wrong rotor . The situation was an unusual
one, and that employee should not have
been on that particular job.
Towing is a necessary practice as long
as cars are parked illegally on campus,
and Iacovelli ' s Getty station has always
been a reliable service for such towing .

To the Editor:
This i s to compliment you on having
done an outstanding job this year with
the paper , e s pecia ll y the Nov. 20 issue .
I can't ever remember s uch good pregame
coverage , topped off by the historical
bits. As a profe s s ional newspaperman ,

length of the s e r i es with Swarthmore a

th e 1957 ga m e di scouraged the m e mber s
a nd it ha s not b een seen since .
'
Conce rning th e Moore Committe e re po r t on a thl e ti c s , one has to agree with
th e conc lu s ion of your e ditorial that Ha ve r·ford s hould eith e r put up or s hut up .
Hope full y, put up . Th e s pirit on campu s
thi s yea r seem s much , much better than
a yea r ago , and I noti ced this pri or to
Saturday ' s sweep . I must heartily disagree with President Coleman's statement
that winning is not what excellence is at
all. Excellence certainly means winning;
there's a world of difference between
being good and being a good loser . Haver ford has been a good loser for far too
long.
This does not mean we should go out
and compete with Penn State, or even
West Chester . The MAC Southern Di vision is undoubtedly the weakest col lege football conference in the country,
but this should not prevent a desire to
be the best team in it. Of course no one
expects Haverford to win eve ry game, or
even to have a winning season every
year , but to have a 2-5 mark stand as
your best in football over the last 13
seasons is ridiculous. Even more frus trating is the absence of a Hood Trophy
win since 1955 . Proba,bly some bright
freshmen were just born in 1955, an
appalling thought. (There have been two
ties since then .)
The athletic program problem is not so
much a question of money (though it
could undoubtedly use a little more), but
of spirit. Spirit was high on campus
Saturday morning, and outofsightSaturday
night. If the students will support the
team , both by participation andattendance
at games , the winning records will start
to come , and even the ivory tower faculty
will be proud of Haverford's record.
Here ' s hoping for .the Hood in '72.

Not Responding
To the Editor:
The Bryn Mawr-Haverford Black Students League is the institutional vehicle
for serving the needs of all Black students of Haverford and Bryn Mawr Colleges. As such the Steering Committee
of the BSL serves as spokesman to each
college administration. Further, no individual Black student unless empowered
by the General Assem bly of the BSL may
represent the body of all black students
on either campus. Special interest groups,
however have separate representation.
Recently the Board of Managers of
Haverford College met to discuss the
problems of Black students at Haverford.
Several individual Black students were
selected to speak on crucial issues affecting all Blacks at Haverford. It is the
contention of the BSL that all discussion
at that meeting is invalid in reference
to the body of Black students at Haverford. Further, the administration of Haverford College has shown that it has
little regard for the political and social
body of Black students at Haverford by
choosing individuals and using their discussion to characterize all black students.
Individuals present at the meeting did
in fact state that they did not represent
the body of Black students, yet no recognition of the BSL ensued.
In the future all communications to and
for Black students at Haverford and Bryn
Mawr are to be directed to the Steering
Committee of the BSL s o that matters
may be considered by the General Assembly to insure wide participation and
representation on all issues affecting
Blacks .

Unabashed Energy Sparks College Theater's 'L ysistra ta'
By RICH MILLER
In choosing for their fall offering Lysistrata , Aristophanes ' bawdy, wit- justified perspective on radical pacifism, Bill
de Vries and the Haverford-Bryn Mawr
College Theater elected to attempt one of
the thorniest primrose paths to heaven
ever to test even experience-calloused
feet. When the cast left the stage Saturday night after their heady helping of
deserved acclamation, one could see both
the bloody footprints and the eventual triumph towards which the path led.
Before giving the cast, crew, and slavedrivers their coveted opportunity to wallow in earned praise, perhaps a few bandaids are in order.
(For those few of you who were for
whatever sad r·easons forced to pass up
this free l"ibald classic that you' II someday
have to read anyway, Lysistrata chronicles th e (presumably fictional) scheme of
a cadre of Greek women to put an end
to the Peloponnesian War by combining
the Ghandiesque shtick of abstention from
things of the Flesh with the Candyesque
carrot of liberal demonstrations of in teresting assortments of that very same
Flesh until their jackass husbands, lovers,
and ca sual acquaintances agree to stop
the slaughter).
If yo u will permit three facile generalizations, (1) a polemic is when nothing,
not even the truth, is allowed to interfere with the theme; (2) a farce is when
nothing , not even the theme, is allowed
to interfere with the jokes; a nd (3) a
comedy is when the humor and t heme are
inextri cably intertwined, each evolving from
the other. Now in Lysistrata , Aristophanes'
skillful pursuit of farce often undermines
his theme -- doddering oldsters and ambassadors in apparent extremis are funnier than real people, to be sure, but
none of this has much to do with war.
On the other hand, scenes of wild slapstick are not much helped by interruptions to remind us that the reason the
Head Female Geezer is mad is that her
sons have been killed in the war.
Best Laid Plans
This conflict between the goals of the
playwright poses considerable difficulty
for a director. And Lysistrata is chocked
full of other potential pitfalls; for ex ample, a play whose effect depends so
much on wit aggravates the ever-present
danger that choral speaking will degenerate into mush . In addition, the latest
gossip about Lykon · s wi fp has staled some-

Pink Floyd Reaches for the Sun
By KENNETH SUGARMAN
Her Honorest Majesty's Most Noble Intergalactic Arkestra are finally winning the
kind of recognition that they have for too
long been unknowledgeably denied. In existence for close to seven years now, the
Pink Floyd, a nice group of blokes from
Birmingham, have weathered for the better
all attempts to pigeontoe their sound and
now put out two of the year's finest albums
of Music: "Relics" and " Meddle".
Sure, they were one of the first English
underground groups. The Implosions at the

Walnut Street Theater O pening:
Disintegra·t ed Comedy 'Invalid'
By KIT KONO LIGE
Jeezus.
Well, Governor Shapp was there, and a
lot of champagne afterwards with a soapy
four - piece band, and E. G. Marshall and
Tammy Grimes and Ruby Dee.
The occasion was the very gala opening
Wednesday of the remodeled Walnut Street
Theater. When things looked like they were
settling down they put on a play, Moliere's
" The Imaginary Invalid. "
A few blocks down Walnut Street is
Moliere 's '·School for Wives ," which was
staged on Broadway by Stephen Porter
who directs ·'The Imaginary Invalid .' ' Thu~
Philadelphia very likely holds the dubious
honor of leading the nation, perhaps the
world, in quantity of Moliere plays.
To my mind that ' s at least twice as
much Moliere as any city needs. Part ofthe
trouble .is the translation; not that it's
bad, but simply that it can't hope to capture
the lightness of the French. Another diffi_culty is that tastes have really changed
smce the seventeenth century. Moliere and
his audience both enjoyed a fairly unpalatable amount of spectacle and sly,
back -s lappmg humor. There are long
stretches when the play has one admiring
Clarke Dunham ' s lavish (albeit unbelievably lush) set.
Brutal Facts
Porter's direction doesn ' t help things
along very much; neither does thetheater's
general policy· The Philadelphia Drama
Guild, which puts on the Walnut Street Theater's plays, operates on the assumption
that you can fly in stars for two- or
three-w~ek performances and thereby, 'play
the leading role in the renaissance of live
the_ater here in Philadelphia." I don't think
Phtladelphia will soon rank with fifteenthcentury Florence. The brutal fact is that
these famous stars didn ' t work together
~t all w~ll, and for the most part weren ' t
rmpress1v,e by themselves either.
It didn ' t look as if the stars had much

time together before the play . Dee and
Grimes each garbled several lines , and
Marshall played his hypochondriac bourgeois with a "twentieth-centu ry Jewish
flavor, '' as my companion, Sandra Tanen·
baum, noted. That wouldn ' t necessarily
have been disastrous, except that the rest
of the characters, notably the a lliterative
valerie von 'v olz as his daughter Angelique,
were French and romantic. It j ust didn't
mesh .
High Points
There were high points, mostly from the
supporting characters. George Pentecost
was wonderfully expressive as thehopeless
fop Thomas Diaforus, andia1so1lked JoAnn
Cunningham in the kind of role I congenital·
ly despise, the little kid . Grimes has an
interesting voice (which the choppy repartee
usually defeated); she also had some good
moments in a take-off on a humbug doctor.
prescribing the amputation of Marshall's
right arm and eye because they were
" drawing strength from his left side."
Inappropriate
My overwhelming impression was of the
inappropriateness of Moliere in translation
for the beginning of a (largely self·)
heralded theater. Such a dated play invari·
ably presents problems for the most co·
hesive troupe; and this group certainly was
not that. Potential audiences should expect
a good deal of dissatisfaction, a lthough it
could be worthwhile to see th ree award·
winning (Emmys, Tonys Obies) actors.
~one is entirely pleas ing, 'however; and Dee
rs downright plain as Marsha ll s calculat·

I fear that the Dr·ama Guild's system of
star - seeking will inveitable lead to uneven,
non-integrated performances. They do have
s~me inter,esting shows lined up, however:
D1ana Sands and John Randolph in Kanin's
"Born Yesterday, " " Pygmalion" withJulie

Cooney Top Performer at Swarthmore Weekend Folk Concerts
By JAY McCREIGHT
Discovering qual ity performan ce and
material in a n unknown artist is similar
to the dis covery of a rare and marvelous
element or the addition of a new color to
the spectrum of monotony . Banality is too
often the curse f popular music, be it
rock, folk, jazz, blue s or bubblegum ; intimacy too" often is sacrificed to promo tion. Such, fortunately, was not t he case in a
series of concerts held Swarthmore weekend and sponsored by the Haverford Arts
Series .
Friday ' s concert, held in t he Founders
common Room , featured a motley crew of
songwriters and styles . I entered just as
guitarist Al Bien, th e lead -off act, was
rounding off his set with a sing-along version of The Night They Drove Old Dixie
Down. Bien was obviously nervous, but his
ample talents left the audience in a very
relaxed, folky mood .
A Mighty Hot Dog
Following Bien was Rob Dickinson, whose
style ranged from the lyrical to the violent,
and who climaxed all his pieces by vibrat ing his fingers over the strings to achieve
the proper inten sity. He fused a, dynamism
similar to Tim Buckley's and a delicacy
similar to David Crosby's with his own
peculiar melancholy, but managed to maintain confidence and good humor throughout.
At one awkward moment while frustratedly
trying to retune his guitar, he admitted,,
"It's not too easy to tune up when you ' re ·
stoned, " which drew a large applause.
He ended the set '·with a little re ligion ,"
playing A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.
Altho ugh Dickinson s howe d how both individuality and musical tradition could be
blended into an aesthetically pleasing whole ,
it remained for Michael Cooney, headliner
of the evening, to show the culmination of
such a combination. Cooney came out grinning, like a child with his banjo who is
ecstatic at what he can play and doesn't
give a damn what it sounds like . Except
in Cooney's case, it sounded good: not like
the perfect pitch of others, but in direct
line with the conveyance of his overall
theme: the populist humor of America's
past.
He used a variety of instuments , including banjo , 6 and 12-string guitar , fretless
banjo, jew's harp, and concertina ("the
buttons on this concertina look inscrutable, but they're really very scrutable.")
One of his songs dealt with alcoholism
(Floating Down That Old Green River) ,
another , which he termed his "contribution
to heaviness ", told of the husband who
'Lysistrata' Cuts Gordian Knot
(Co ntinued from page 8)
ing and not listening, or if your practiced accent makes the words indecipherable, or if you simply forget what worked
the night before.
ln his direction of the play, Bill de
Vries (Haverford '72) gave most of the
beasties catalogued above a run for their
money, and vice versa. De Vries cut the
Gordian knot of the play's split purpose
by devoting his · energies to farce; the
mimy successes of this resolve brought
with them occasional overkill, as for example when Lysistrata ' s delightful Delphicitude was hidden behind the distraction of her dragging an inattentive under ling back by the hair.
By and large, the immense technical
demands of the choral speaking were met
(for which, rumor has it, Ken Arthur's
coaching merits a share of the credit),
bestowing upon the audience plentiful globs
of precious Aristophenian wit . The slapstick did not come off as well , Bernie
Horowitz' fall of faith and Willie " Head
Female Geezer " Allen 's punch to Ken
" Head Male Geezer " -Arthur's jewels luck ily excepted.
In dealing with the plethora of current
events gags, de Vries was bold enough
to cut quite a few no - longer-useful lines
and cover quite a few others in spirited
song and dance ; where classicism falters,
class night expertise rushes to the rescue.
(Was that Matt "Nimble-Nuckles" Allen
at the· piano?) When it came to the risque,
his nerve (or perhaps that of his cast)
often failed.
At the play ' s end, for example, Lysistrata presents the gathered Greek negotiators with Peace Herself in the person
of a fair damsel theoretically in the very
buff; the dignitaries, corpora cavernosa
and corpora spongiosa replete (and let's
hea r it for the balloon manufacturing committee), begin to barter with one another
over territorial rights. With straight am• bassadorial faces and a negligeed Peace,
such a scene could amuse even today's
contentedly jaded collegiate audience. But,
for a variety of understandable but nonetheless sad reasons, Peace wa s gratuitously drunk and clad in her senior prom
dress , while the engorged worthies were
plainly uneager to touch her before an
audience . Similarly , Geezers who have
devoted so many afternoons to elaborate
makeup deserve to be allowed to strip
to a point somewhat beyond their terrycloth tunics .
Rats Bemused
Why then, I can hear the enraged mob
thunder, was the production so often a
delight? Because it had a lot of bright,
funny, dedicated, dirty-mindedpeople working on it, from Aristophanes' and Bill
de Vries down to the ticket-taker. And,
too, because spunk complemented the skill.
This is as good a context as any in which
to start praising Valerie Norusis (Lysistrata). With the few exceptions where nerves
rushed her over relishable lines (e .g.
" don ' t strip the enemy -- the day is
ours " ) , she was adept at squeezing the
last innuendo out of the often-saturated
Aristophenian rag.
Even when she was given nothing to
work with (as in that ghastly endless
metaphor elucidating Athens ' dilemma with
a lesson in textile production) , she seemed
so blithely confident that the gibberish
was working its magic that we charmed
rats in the audience could do nothing
but follow h er, bemused. Her worldlywise insistence that she would save the
Commissioner (Scott Wallace) plumbed new
depth s in careful condescension. Miss Norusis has always been the consumate flapper;
she is now well on her way to becoming
a versatile and delecta bly comic actress.
Humans Best
In a cast this big and this talented it
is tough to know whom to single out. Surely
Adrienne George (Kleonike), when she
wasn ' t preoc cupied with being thought drunk ,
was very fine indeed, most of all during
the oath-taking festivities. Ken Arthur and
Willie Allen, splendidly decadent in the
dema nding ro l es of Head Geezers, we re

It is the mark of a good cho r us member
that h e steal no scenes and that he be
heard . I therefore intend to respect the
hard-won anonymity of those among the
eight Associate Dodaerers who were sufficiently self- controlled to remain unnoticed
by the mob. Your consciences can be
clear, and your sacrifice has not gone
unappreciated.
It is the mark of a strong cast that
the director is forced to place so talented
an actress as Kris Kelly as the Policewoman, a role with a somewhat limited
potential for dancing one's way into the
h earts of America, should one want to
attempt such an exploit. Kris wiped her
nose on her first entrance with an aplomb
t hat presages greater things to come.
Shut Your Eyes
And special thanks must be given to
that un sung hero Steve Clark as the Spartan
Herald , who, on his final exit, ended the
tension that had been building since the
audeince glimpsed a first balloon behind

He also did some .. old favorites" with
some very strange lyrics, and went on for
about ten minutes on a song with two chords
and inanely light lyrics about living in an
apple orchard. But the audience glowed
under his influence . One wonders what
Peter Seeger was like when he was younger
and beardless.
Cooney ' s set was broken up by Mudhead ,
a group of four Californians whose appearance threatened to spoil the spirit of
the evening. After taking an excessively
long time setting up , the group launched
into four bouncing , John Sebastian-esque
tunes, and then was signalled from the side
to do on ly more tune. Eager to perform,
the group .resisted , only to be told that "if
you play any more songs, you'll be docked
$25 .' ' The group complained vociferously to
the audience, but reluctantly left.
No Right
Ken Nordine, organizer of the concert,
explained later: ·'They were not on a
contract. When I talked to them originally
I told them they could play for about forty
minutes. But 1 was being pressured by the
social committee to get Founders clea red
so they could get the record hop going,
and I had to have Cooney finish his set. I
like the group--don 't get me wrong-- but
they had no right to act the way they did. "
After Mudh ead, Cooney returned with the
concertina for a number of s ea chanties ,
and wrapped up with a long monologue on
a small boy an d his adventures on a whaling ship. He received a long and welldeserved standing ovation from the a udi ence of about a hundred.
Saturday night attendance lagged due to the
popularity of " Lysistrata", but quality stayed consistently high as Cashman and Raiken ,

listeners.

in a position to deliver, seems to you
insufficient, coproducers Chris Eck and
Gary Emmett wi1l cheerfully furnish a
detailed list of who in fact did what.
As Much As One Hopes
People who do theater in college usually
worry too much about reviews; these are
looked upon somehow as a partial measure
of whether the show was a "success ."
The College Theater production of Lysistrata , succeeded for reasons not subject to modification .bY criticism and not
so easy to analyze as the foregoing blither
suggests. From the talents, insights, and
energies of a dead wit, a blatantly live
director, a brave translator, dozens of
green thumbed carpenters, and other dozens
of unabashed showoffs can be fashioned
that genuine article, a creation of comic
beauty; had one clod been washed away,
Europe would have been the less. The
addition of an audience can convert the
exercise to an act of communication; and
the not-entirely-garbled communication of
comic beauty is as much , I think, as one
may reasonably hope for.
It is my privilege to acknow ledge the
assistance in the foregoing of Adam Blistein
(Haverford '7 1) , whose expertise in those
two traditions in which his ac umen is
greatest - - those of class night and, to
some extent, Greek literature -- render
him coculpable.

The Floyd in concert are a complete

''the most far-out concert of my life ''.
They brought their azimouth, light show,

Mawr's superintendent of buildings and
grounds, dorm security is the responsibility of the students. He said there are
some dorms where doors are propped
open so often that anyone can get in at
a lmost any hour and called Haffner particularly guilty of door-propping.
Trucks thought that the residence com mittee was doing a good job in showing
people how easily tiuildings can be broken
into and added they " ought to keep it up ."
He also · advises students not to prop doors
and not to remove screens from the windows .
This year the College has installed extra

Kathi Atkinson has also requested 11 more

her request was too conservative and will

He added that Harry Hamer, formerly the

By JON RALPH
A lot of old and new faces are sprinkled
throughout the 20 intramural basketball
teams competing in the upcoming '71- '72
season. For many years the most popular
of Haverford's athletic offerings, intramural basketball has now increased its
membership to a staggering 180 students
and faculty. Although presenting many problems to league commissioner 'Coach' Bill
Docherty, head of officials Dave Sloane,
and leader of scorers and statistics (computerized) Gubby Csordas, the schedule has
been organized to allow for an average of
18 games a week .
Let's look at some of those smiling
faces that will bec:;.ome cold, stone-hard
mugs once that opening whistle blows. Let's
identify those teams of red and blue shirts
that suddenly at 4:15, 5:15 and 6:15 forget their personal strivings, academic accomplishments and Quaker spirit and merge
smoothly into an efficient, well -oiled ma chine. Few things can interrupt these automatons once they are greased and ready
for action - occasionaly a ref's whistle,
an ache in those s moke-filled, out of s hape
lungs, possibly a lock of hair b locking
vision.
Defending Champs
Defending cha mpions this year, junior
C or 41 Lloyd, still have the deadly shooting of Bob Davies, Dave Fox, and Chris
Cline (if he can stay away from Corvairs).
Doug Nichols , who survived those hulks
out on the g ri di ron, has already lost an
ankle in the br utal National league and will
be a question ma rk a long with the rest of the

Fords Upset Ursinus, 70-69;
First Opening Win Since '68
By STAN LACKS And PETE BLUDMAN
Haverford ' s varsity basketball team defeated the Ursinus Hears 70-69 Wednesday night in the opening game of the
1971 -72 season. The contest, playe d in
the Bears ' Den, was a tense duel , bot h
physically and emotionally.
Having just completed six weeks of intense pre- season training, the Fords were
well prepared for the favored Ursinus
five . No one, however, cared to recall
the game last year when Ursinus , playing without team superstar Farney Cattell
but supported by a chorus of garbage
can banging fraternity floating hardhats
beat the Fords by eight points . Haver ford's season was downhill from that point
as they dropped 15 games in a row and
finished with a 2-16 overall record.
This year, U rsinus with Cattell back
in the lineup attacked the Fords with
the same offensive patterns, same 2-3
zone, and of course, the same robust
gym.
Coach Tony Zanin, beginning his third
year at the helm , countered with the powerful frontcourt of Chico Ray, Bill DeG raphenreed, and Terry Pledger. Holy Cross
transfer Bill O ' Neill, coming off of a
spectacular season on a miasmal JV outfit, made his varsity debut at guard, moving Percy Morton to the wing position.
Full-Court Press
Haverford began by pouncing on the
Bears with a full-court man to man press
which it did not relinquish the entire game.
Rebounding extremely well and scoring
quickly on dynamic fast breaks, the Fords
grabbed an early lead. Hut the experienced
Bears never permiued that lead to spread
beyond eight (at 33-27), tied it at 33, and
came even at the half, 37-:37.
The Fords were hurt most by factors
not directly related to the game. Pledger
got into early foul trouble, picking up three
in the first half and a fast fourth in the
second. Sophomore John Mueller replaced
Pledger and played masterfully in what
was his best varsity effort. The 6'4 " center
rebounded well, received and returned .excellent pas ses from the center position
kept 6'6" Cattell under control, and of
course set some beastly picks . Coach
Zanin s hould be commended for his patien~e
while helpiag Mueller develop .

Another sophomore, 5'8 " Marc Sedwitz
kept the full-court press consistent in the
backcourt , spelling Morton and O'Neill for
much needed breathers. This depth is the
most apparent improvement over last year's
shallow, inexperienced squad.
Experience
The Fords stayed in front most of the
second half, but came from behind when
Ursinus took the lead by one with five
minutes left. Coming from behind is always a good indication of a hustling, win ning team, and it' s something the Fords
did not experience last season. While the
pressure increased in the final moments,
Haverford never once lost it s poise, never
once took a bad shot or foolishly turned
over the ball.
O ' Neill began shooting and hitting consistently at just the right moments, connecting on two 2:3-foot s hots from the left
side . Morton answered with two long jumpers from the right corner, and between
them and the front line 's a ble defense
and
rebounding,
Haverford
remained
in front. Ray saved the game with a spectacular block as the clock showed 11
seconds l eft.
Tensions Burst
With the Fords up 68-67 and seven seconds remaining in the game, Cattell and
Gary Schall fouled DeGraphenreed. The
tense emotions of the close game finally
burst. DeGraphenreed and Schall had a
short physical altercation, and both were
ejected. Sedwitz missed DeGraphenreed's
foul shot, but O' Neill made both tech nicals. As it was a double technical foul ,
Tommy Sturgeon of Ursinus was also a l lowed two foul shots and he converted
both. That left the score 70-69 with a
jump ball at center court. The Fords lost
the tap, but the defense held, and Haverford won it' s first opener since 1968.

R.MC, Lebanon Valley, Muhlenberg Top MAC Contenders
By CHUCK DURANTE
The balance of power in the Middle
Atlantic Conference remains relatively in' tact this year, with the arrival and departure of three big men .
Barring major personal losses, Muhl enberg, PMC, and Lebanon Valley should
all grab playoff spots. But in a league
that saw last year' s top dogs, Muhlenberg
PMC, knocked out in the first round of
the playoffs, unpredictability is the rule,
and any of eight teams could press for
playoff berths.
For the first time, the 12 teams will
be playing a mandatory round - robin sched ule. The only athletic director to vote
against the move was Haverford's Dana
Swan, who saw the change as another
step toward regimentation of what is still
a low-pressure conference.
. As a result of the change, Haverford
~ 1 11 play Western Maryland and Washington
College this winter, while ending the year ly
home-and-away arrangement with Ursinus
and PMC, with whom Haverford will p!'l.y
one game a year. ln addition, only the
first Haverford-Swarthmore game will
count in MAC standings.
Big Me n
One big man lea ves, another returns,
a third makes his debut, and a fourth
may improve into the conferences most
va luabl e player this year.
The individuals, by name, are Bob McClure, who leaves Muhlenberg after four
all-conference seasons, Ursinus ' Farney
Cattell , injured last year, PMC ' s sophomore
hope Earl Dowling, and Lebanon Valley's
Kris Linde, the top rebounder in the conference last winter.
McClure was the only Mule to graduate,
however. Forward Joe Paul and guard
Frank Scagliotta return as two of the best
performers in the conference, and they
are joined by senior Dale Hava and junior
guard Jay Haines . Paul beat out Haverford ' s Billy O' Neill for the first team
All-Main Line honors four years ago when
Paul was at Lower Merion and O'Neill
at Devon Prep. If gangly 6'6 Clint Refsnyder can halfway fill McClure's vacated
shoes, the Mules have a good chance to
repeat. A good freshman group has graduated to the varsity , and one among them
RICK MICELI
All-MAC Guard from Swarthmore
may beat out Refsneyder for the pivot
position.
But PMC has lost only one man, nonstellar guard Tim King, while welcoming
back the league ' s best player, 6'2 forward
Wally Rice. His tall and talented fore court mates, Bill Brandenberger, Cedric
Geter, and John Zyla, are joined by Dowling, who coach Alan Rowe has described
as potentially " another Kenny Durrett. "
The slim broad jump ace still could
be fooled on defense last year-- this author faked him out of his
jock on one
occasion - - but he hits both boards well
and could be the most terrifying playe ;
in the league once he develops a con sistent outside s hot.
LVC
Lebanon Valley compil ed a 12-4 con ference record before knocking off PMC
and Johns Hopkins for the conference play off title. They lost only forward Steve
Mellini from last year' s quintet. Linde ,
the top sophomore in th e conference last
year -- only Haverfo r d ' s Terry Pledge r was
nearly as good among second - year colleg-

Coleman said that he did not know if
the sharp cutoff was due to the fact that

Bryn Mawr Again
Backs Foreign Study
Summer Plan
Bryn Mawr is again sponsoring two
summer programs abroad for men and women college students -- one in Spain and
the other in southern .France. Both are
directed by Bryn Mawr professors , with
faculties drawn from universities and col leges in this country and Europe.
The programs, offering intensive work
in significant aspects of the culture of
each country, begin in mid- June and will
continue for six weeks. The Institut
d' Etudes .Francaises in Avignon is now
in its eleventh year; the program is de signed primarily for those who expect
to engage in profess ional careers requiring
a knowledge of .France and .French living.
The Spanish prog ram, the Centro de Es tudios Hispanicos in Madrid, is now in
its seventh year; it integrates academic
s tudy and immediate experience through
a unique combination of course work, study
excursions , tutorial s, independent wor k and
family living.
Students live and take their meals with
fa milies living in Madrid or Avignon . The
r esidential plan was developed in order
to p rovide the best basis for fluency in
the language and for acquiring a deeper
knowledge of the life and customs of the
country . Classroom work is supplemented
with lectures given by scholars in art,
literature, history and the social sciences.
At the end of the six weeks there is a
period of free travel when students may
arrange practicial projects in their own
fields , particularly in art and archaeology.

told 'the 40 members Alumni Council Nov.
18 at the opening session of their annual
meeting. "I'm prepared to live with this . . ·
cooperation is a do or die issue, coeducation is not,' ' he said.
Speaking in the living room of his home,
Coleman said it is more imP<>rtant ''to
make every possible step forward in cooperation with Bryn Mawr ... Bryn M~wr
thinks coeducation will hurt cooperatiOn,
I don 't see evidence .. . but others , whom
I respect, do .' '
Coleman warned that he was anticipating
the reports of the committees studying
the issue and noted, " Maybe I shouldn't. "
He told of his hopes for a compromise,
mentioning the idea of admitting women
transfers and the need for more women
faculty and administrat~rs. He says Haverford would be a better campus "if it
respected people more because they're
people.' '
Areas in which cooperation is likely
to expand, according to Coleman, include
H'ford Freshman Arrested
In Role-play Demonstration
Haverford freshman James McCreight
was arres ted Nov. 22 in Was hington, D.C .,
in conjunction with the continuing Daily
Death Toll demonstrations . The DDT protests, which began Nov. 8 and concluded
at Thanksgiving, were designed to dramatize the deaths of more than 300 Vietnamese per day brought about by American saturation bombing.
According to McCreight, 30 protestors,
mostly from the Albany-Schenectady, N.Y .
area , mapped out a " scenario" that include d a lie - in at the Capitol building,
guerilla theatre in commercial locations,
and a short service for peace. Due to
excessively cold winds and time lags ,
the group abandoned the Capitol action
and contented itself with dis tributing DDT
litera ture a nd " dying" s trategically before
the eyes of as tonis hed passers- by . The
group then joined with the Quaker Peace
Vigil in a circ le of silent worship and a
memorial before the White House.
Shortly the r eafte r , " American bombs"
fe ll a nd the g roup collaps ed into Vietname s e corpses on the pavement, where upon four " pa ll - beare r s" bore the bodies
to the White House gate, requesting permission to pre sent the co r;:;,.:!s to President
Nixon due to " his personal responsibil ity. " The guards refused, saying, " No del iveries without a prior appointment. " The
pallbear e r s then bore about 20 of the
g roup into the White House driveway, where
a fter a chilly five - mi nute warning period,
a rrests we r e made " for incommoding a
sidewalk and driveway." At the end of
their " unde rtaking, " the pallbearers them selves died and were subsequently hauled
away.
McCreight was tra nsported to Park Pol i ce Headqua rte r s for a s u~m a ry search
and booking, a nd the n was taken to the
muni cipal lockup for an overnight stay .
" It was fas cinating, " remarked McCreight .
"All nig ht the iron doors clanged open
and s hut; the inma tes across the hall were
suffering fr om he r oin withdrawa l; the lights
burne d brightly a ll night. .. a real blast. ''
He was a rraigned Tuesday afte rnoon and
r e leased on $50 secured bond, with the
option of forfeiting $25 if he would not
appea r fo r t r ia !' on Jan. 17. Of the other
nine ma les ar r es ted, two forfeited , five
we r e r e leased on bond, two r e mained in
jail for refusing to post bond.
McC r eight noted , " The attitude of the
cour t was r a the r hos tile toward us. It
seemed they thought it would be best for us
r espe ctable middle- class whites to pay
off the sys tem and not r aise any more
fuss. One de fendant trie d to plead no
contest and was greeted with a sarcastic
comment about his being from Philadel phia , ' the city of brotherly love, snicker,
s nicker. ' A ' friend of the court' later
approached this same defendant and told
him to plead guilty 'and we ' ll try to get
you a suspended sentence.'
"Morality and wars didn't matter to
them at all -- all they wanted to do was
get things done quickly and quie tly . It
was just like the total Nixon obsession
with efficiency. But the dead bodies we
represented--they were a reminder of the
result of that efficiency."

meet with Bryn Mawr President Harris
Wofford.

' Not Right Time'
Coleman commented " Both places will
go coed sometime not too far in the future
. .. this is not the right time. "
The alumni were extremely interested
in racial attitudes on campus . They expressed displeasure that there is less
mixing bet ween black and white students
than they hoped. Coieman called Haverford 's black students " patient, understanding, . . . believers im what we say." He
said , " When they (black students) are critical of Haverford, it's when we fall short
o( what we say we are," referring to the
statements of pur pose and other pledges
by the College. He said he sees " a tremendous element of hope in this area."
Other issues involving campus trends
we re discussed. Coleman spoke about
" being puzz led about what we'reallabout. ''
He said ' ' Haverford is in need of a redefinition of itself and why it matters."
Also mentioned was the expansion issue.
The alumni ·at the meet~g generally opposed
any large expansion. Coleman said, " Increasing the size of the campus as an
answer to our economic problems is an
illusion , " but added, " It is possible to add
25 or 30 students without any difficulty
at all. "
Too Small
Acting
Provost Thomas D'Andrea
expressed a belief that the College is
''too, small for an interesting and viable
education . " He said his favorite number
is 1500, and cited several small departments which cannot support a sizeable
group of majors: languages, classics, sociology . Alumni were hostile to his suggestion.
In response to queries about tenure,
Coleman noted, " 1 have been a very strong
critic of the tenure system." He added,
"We're not going to change the ground
rules about tenure . .. we ' re going to be
harder and harder.'' He claimed it is
wrong to say that an a dministration can't
do anything about a bad p rofessor because
he has tenure. Positive and negative pressures, he said, can be used including
the denial of salary increases .
The s ession was chaired by Alumni
Association President Edward Shakespeare
' 49 with the assistance of acting Director
of Alumni Affairs Howard Teaf. VicePresident for Development Stephen Cary
and Charles Perry, associate director of
development, also attended the session.
