The Staff Dear Editor: Reading the articles in the May3 issm of the Cauld.r PAGE 3 TRUSTEES Despite three days of quasi-agonizing meetings that seemed to last forever, it seems as though the trustees were never really here Perhaps this is due to the fact that their busy schedules left them w it h little time to chat, perhaps it is due to b! fact that they were here for only three days or perhaps it is because they seemed to have little effect on the day-to-day life of the school The trustees arrived to a school they had heard virtually nothing about S1n co: NovembeJ: Is it any wonder they dealt with only obvious things like the budget and Harra 's $200? What did they say ant the calendar? What could they say, few had received it and all seemed afraid of taking it out of those obscure "channel that snake their way aro\md the bowels of the school The comm 'lmity has intim idated trustees into not acting to impJ>Ie the school by using a decision-making process that virtually insures that some faction of the school will oppose the i:lea and the trustees do not want to cross any large segment of the community. Hence the trustees get no information from the school and only receive ideas that have been regurgitated from the depths of an obscure faculty committee Tobey are for experimenting with tre school, finding new ways to govern the school and financial integrity. To thC2 ends, they voted to construct a 4-m an committee to study governance, they voted for three educational co\mselors and an examiner, they voted to go wth voted for three educational co\mselors and an examiner, they voted to reduce the scholarshilp budget from 400, f'l)() to 000 they voted to go with the $200 fee (for lack of a better way to ix. ;ure tre meeting of deadlines) and they asked to hear more from the school I regret that the New College trus1Ees who conceived and gave birth to school have been relegated to an expensive rubber stamp I wish the trustees co u 1 d once again lead this school back onto 'liE road of experimental education I'm willing to work for that goal. The reader will ask, What's in it for me, the little guy why should we make an effort to once again tell the trustees what is going on here, and let them decide what to do? Because they have the least vested interest in the school ( we have to siphon them all away from other jcbs to get here) they are the group least into politics and they know best v.hat .kind of experi .nental school this was to be. They are good people commo rooms Kingsley Hall was formed to promote comml.Dlity; sharing with each other. Due to anarchistic lack of organization-we have never formally invited everyone to share our resources. We apologize, and do so now. Room 101 is common library. In it are various vdumes and a file telling you our areas of interest and 'proficiency. '' Use it--add your own if you like. Room 107 is for meditation, rest, SIlence. Room 119 is a craft room. In it is a resource file, a loom, and a silk screen. Room 131 is a Rap room/tea house. Room 132 is a pseudo-media room.. Join us. Won'tcha? keeping up Last year, Captain Jack ran an article about the new branch of Antioch Colleget that was opened in Columbia, Md. The place is one of three Antioch centers in the area (Batimore and WashingtQn, DC). lf you think Sarasota is rustic, Columbia, with its masses of prefab boxes, colonial gas stations, and one-building downtown exemplifies primitive suburbia. As Paz .says, "It helps to have a sense of the absurd." The school's physical resources consist of the Manor, the only structure in the area over three years old (it's really old, built when houses were made out of stone entirely). In spite of being poorer, smaller, and newer than New College, Antioch-Columbia has certain advantages. Did you know that: 1. students are deeply involved in ad procedures. (they actually dec Ide who is to be admitted) 2. students are informed about all financial matters, even, at times, before the, decisions are made 3. in Yellow Sp;ings, students vote on who is going to be on the faculty 4. students really teach classes, just like the big they don't even need a faculty member to sign for them. Students interested in the Peace Corps or opportunities in Latin America especially P eru, please call Mr. (355-2800.) soon as possible but definitely before May 20th. Movie Women in Love is a deceptive movie. It is visually superb, finely acted, and portenuously scripted. But the surface of images, words, and faces there is an appalling emptiness, a hollow center. Painstakingly true to the novel, Ken R ussellperpetuates the mistakes made by Lawrence. But the filn:J for all its drawbacks comes off as a better work of art than the novel ;where the novel is shabby in form and inad-equate in content, the film is formally near-perfect. One continually wishes throughout the film that the director, and actors had had a subject worthy of their skills. Where the novel and the film both fail is in the development of char a cter. The problem is simple: four people are given equal attention, and only tow of them are interesting. Rupert Brooke and Gudr\m Brangwen are fascinating, intricate characters, and each nuance of character is eloquently stated in the film. Alan Bates plays Rupert very well, though he tends to underplay the mystical while emphasizing the vulgar a bit more than I would have liked. The scene where Rupert, after being injured, runs out into the woods in a dazed, feverish state "comm\mion" with nature is one of the most exciting visual presentations I have seen. So sensitive is the photography that each touch of the healing wet s E c Fresh from their success in the $200 vs $$100 battle royal, the SEC held another' 3 meeting last night.

If you don't there be tremendous prejudice against the validity of the case. 3)When going to the police, always take along someone who knows how to handle the s!tuatio i.e. Walt, John Doyle, Chuck Dernck. Thatway the correct cnai'ges w w. .. be filed and you will have some moral support. 4) Try to maintain an atmosphere of good will toward the police.

Bruce Cleary told the SEC that the chain across the back exit of the parking lot had caused him to have a collision on his motorcycle. Since he had not seen the chain, and the SEC had ruled its installation, he asked that the SEC pay for the cost of repairs to his cycle. The SEC approved his request, based on his estimate of $30-50. Suggestions were made to Chuck Derrick for more visible signs or reflectors to avoid accidents.

It got underway last Friday with a turnout of just under 40 people. Plans were made for GLF sponsored activities, such as conscioUSiless raising. The meeting ran from eight 'lmtil nine, at which time it converted into a party with poor quality booze but excellent quality company. A good time was had by all, Gay Liberation meetings will be held every Friday at nine, thus allowing one to watch the movie prior to attending. Everyone is welcome.

STilET ...,_,.... - PAGE 4 FLORIDA FOLK FEST Carol Levenson In four hours we had driven into an -other century. In the darkness we were not conscious of the years by us, but as dawn broke we knew we had somehow traveled not only miles but entire cultures, The Florida Folk Festival simply could not ekist in the twentieth century, nor could tiny, ancient White Springs, Florida, Our disorientation lasted only until we encountered the first in a long line of amazing characters. Nothing can so effectively place you back into your own time as a modem stereotype, and here he was. Pulling into the Stephen Foster Memorial Park, we <:arne to rest beside a huge lump of fat bursting in every direction from the confines of a forest ranger suit. From a smaller, hairless lump atop the first leered two vacant blue eyes empty and slightly grotesque. A hole o-' pened, a voice spoke: "Ah'm right s:>rry, young ladies, but we're full up. But jest go down that there dirt road, there's ht's of them young folks campin' down there, must be 'bout a thousand o' them." The busy blue eyes, quick and out of sync with the slow drawling mouth, had meanwhile oozed over the four occupants of the car in what must have been i n;tinc -tive, and thus rather mechanical, lasciviousness. Suffering from more than a little culture mock, we proceeded down that dirt road. Here we found, indeed, swarms of freaks, mostly frustrated rock festival-goers. Ludicrous southern freaks 99% male talking incessantly (strange of hip talk in' southern dialect) of nothing. I go to such of description only to establish the dichotomy of our experience, the fluctuation between two worlds! all through the v.eekend. The festival itself, which was inside the park, was, _i>r the most part, gentlet honest, gen une (exceptions will be nored later), and most important! ancient. The mountain people the country people, seemed almost saintly, their faces hard and chiseled and bla zing with an uncanny timeless 1 ight. /gain and again, no matter how ignorant or even bigoted these people were, their au-stere honesty, a:1cient wisdom, shone through all the shit. Their faces, their walk, their sestwes, spoke of ineluctable GU ..... -... festival within to the freak camp ot1:s' e was unsettling. I think I speak for t h e four of us when I say we overwhelmingly preferred the festival people to the exponents of our own generation. We remained for the most part, apart and watching. As when one poor lad asked if we needed :ny help with our tent or anything, found limself gazing up at Christine (The Hulk) :nd hearing "We're pretty independent. Don't mess with us. The variety and sneer mass of talent was enormous. The hostess, loveable old Cousin Thelma, was a buxom country lady, dripping with plastic authenticity, prone to such homilies as "purely pretty," "keep on rub bin 1 keep on hopin ', and her greatest, "I will now put on my Sat urday hat." The music was seldom excellent, but always interesting. With the e xcejXion of one unbelievable gospel group, a couple of fine bluegrass bands and Chubby, the finest fiddler I've ever heard, it was the people, not music, that merited ention. Charming groups of school children sang folk music; earnest little black faces parroted "Oh, darkies, how my heart grows weary, still living before War. Other children did square dancms my twentieth century mind could not relp but note the pains taken by the teachers to avoid integrated couples. One poor, painfully sincere man played "parlour." music--"Beautiful Dreamer"--on the Vl olin tremulous and heartfelt. His act was pathetically and coldheartedly terminated by wonderful Cousin Thelma--who was superbly hated by the four of us by tl.e end of the first day of music. A group of Czechosla vakian folk dancers in museum costumes; overheard comment--"They look like our people over here, don't tJ.ey? In the face, I mean. Many guitars, fiddles banjos mandolins, autoharps, I hand clappin' and foot stompm The blacks who know their place were all right, but one spunky fellow, J. J. Hines played guts y (if monotonous) blues outside the performing area. He finally, somehow, made it on stage, accompanied by several arded, hug haired fr:llnds. The freaks had found a champion, cheered him on incessantly, Cousin Thelma 'bout blew her top. Finally they turned off his mike and pulled him off the smge. End of twentieth century intrusion. Of course the highli&ht of the musical events was "our own Jeanie. 11 A little too old, a little too corseted, more than a little too cute, she her sausage curls, flirted with the old men, and smg Julie Andrews songs in an indecisive con-. tralto. The crowd favorite was her stirring rendition of "I Enjoy Being a Girl, as she so poignantly put it--"My answer to the Feminist movement Cheer, cheer, We had several suggestions as to where she could put her "pound and a half of cold cream. Last and best was the eats. Incredible country cooking, consumed by us in gargantuan quantities. Josh and I would have become pecan pies if they hadn't sold out Saturday night. Ineiitable Jain, equally Inevitable nigbt!y uproars in the rea camp. e mormng a ter t e r a m we were awakened by someone commenting "I haven't had a good hearty shit in three days. Another guy wandered from campsite to campsite asking "Did you make it through the night? It's a fucking wonder anyone made it through the night. It's a fucking miracle, it is. Through it all, Betsy's implacable tolerance calmed us again and again, and we stifled thoughts of murder. By the third day, we had soaked up enough reality and lost enough sleep to be almost relieved to set off for C again. Still we wanna go back to dat simple life, yeah. by c hn i t |
