Dear "X", The person on the student personnel staff which was refer red to as being hard to under stand in last week's column was the Dean. Dear Gloria, Dick Gregory said he worried when President Nixon left the country because the President might know something we don't. The Dean (kindly specified as William Lanier) has left the country. Does he know some CALENDAR MOD., Oct. 19 Dr. W.

Reviews "HAPPENSTANCE" Barn Theatre HAK INSTANCE, now showing at the BARN Dinner Theatre, is a sparkling example of the typical dinner theatre production. Don't get me wrong now, I'm not about to shaft the show but am saddened by some theatrical facts of life. The dinner theatre is a terribly good idea, especially in our area; where else can one find a place to drink, eat a fine meal and see live theater in North Carolina? But to make such a package salable the play must appeal to the widest possible audience and be easily proouc able so that the shows can be changed with some frequency. A chain of theatres helps, admit tedly (thankfully) but that doesn't change the facts; that fact being, in particular, that the sort of show that appeals, and sells, to the largest audience, is the small casted three act adult (read: semi-dirty) comedy. HAPPENSTANCE is enter taining. Funny, even in parts, but overly predictable. The ac tion takes place, we're told, in a secluded mountain cabin in western North Carolina. It is there that Porter Dangerfield 111 (quite ably played by Harry Seymour) scion of a once wealthy Boston family, is at tempting to write his "big book," after a series of money producing pome-lust books (like THE SEX LIFE OF GENGHIS KHAN) under the name of Joyboy. Trouble is every time he sits down to write his "quality" book, he starts writing "and her quivering thighs . ... " Consequently he (and everyone else) is drinking bunches.

I've been hearing a lot about tiiat road, and like wow, it could really do in like, you know, trees. In fact, I was rapping to some people and they seem to think it's a plot to "get those hippies." Like wow-some of us will really have trouble getting across seven lanes . .. Dear Friendly, Friendly So glad you asked. And remember, readers, the movie next week is "The Great Escape" starring our own Wil liam J. Lanier. The film will be in Peppermintvision. ENTERTAINMENT A few notes before the listings: This week television offers some first rate entertainment-namely, The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming." For those of you who are Dick Cavett Fans, ABC and Cavett decided that it wasn't worth doing the short show after the Monday night football games, so he's only on four nights weekly now. The only new show to be considered a hit is Flip Wilson on Thursday, 7:30, Ch. 12. The Today Show is running a series of interviews with candidates from California. And Civilization continues (at least on TV). FRIDAY NET PLAYHOUSE - 9:00, Ch. lawyer (Bruce Borin) comes in to tell him that he's being sued by a Miss B.(unny) Bon Bon for defamation of character AND paternity. Of course Porter knows nothing. Porter's separat ed wite Natalie appears and they fight (naturally they clearly love each other). Homer Uphohn, local sheriff, landlord, newspaperman and mayor comes up to investigate the "pornographies" and the "pornograph." Todd Ortone plays the role of the dumb, dirty minded red neck sheriff a little broadly for my taste, but if you're unfamiliar with the type you'll enjoy his performance. It's here we learn that his wife Caralee (Janet Copper) is so dedicated anti-smut leader that Homer has to take her to get more "smut" two or three times a week. Finally Bunny (Lynda Kramer) slinks in. That's the first act. The rest goes down hill. Still it's good entertainment and the Barn's a great place to spend an evening. If the audience was more de scriminating that cast might be able to tackle a play that was more than just "entertainment." I wonder if Jack Cannon, the author and director, identifies with Porter? by Douglas Scolt IHfc OUILI-UKUIAI^ Small College Athletics Discussed In LOOK continued from page 3 about football and that we don't get the write-ups that we would get at a big school. But this is not a rah-rah place. As much as you are wrapped up in football, you realize there are more important things for most peo ple." Coach Dana Swan of Haver ford College in Pennsylvania, feels that "unsubsidized football can be the answer to many problems facing educators." He has written "For the player who chooses to participate in an unsubsidized, student-centered program, football can be the key ... to much broader exper iences. For it becomes a tool, not master. Through football, he finds friends, identity, -apil re lease ... If, as he matures", he finds that football' no longer meets his needs, he is entirely free to retire from the field without the consequences of having to leave college through loss of financial aid . . . With the advent of television, football really went into business—the entertainment business." Small college football, as a business, is doomed to failure. But it is failure on a much smaller scale than the big boys. Ohio State, the no. 3 team in the country last year, lost approximately $500,000 in an 8-1 season, including $23,000 just for tele phone calls.

Movie "To Live in Peace," winner of the New York Film Critics' Award for Best Foreign Film in 1947, will be shown at 8 p.m. Tuesday (Oct. 20) in Dana Auditorium at Guilford College. While the Italian film is part of the Guilford College Arts Series, tickets will be available at the door for nonsubscribers. The drama explores without violence the desire for peace among a group of ordinary people who have experienced war. It is the story of Italian villagers who, led by one self respecting man, awaken to their moral responsibility and hide iwo Americans, one a Negro G.I. and one a journalist, who have escaped from their German cap tors and are lost behind the lines. Critic John Mason Brown said the script, direction and acting create the sense of being "life sprung, not studio-hatched." Politics of the Private College continued from page 2 free inquiry to those in society who would restrict the freedom of those in the college com munity while providing leader ship to the faculty and students in the college in interpreting their scholarship in terms of the social ends liberal studies can serve. Under the guidance of such a president, a college can become a community of scholars who are dedicated to particular in terests, yet willing to unify those interests to insure that the experience of a liberal arts education at a small private college will continue to be an opportunity for future students.
