A Blow for Lofty Concert
Women’s Lib
Somewhere around 1966 or
'67, before everyone wore bell
bottoms and stopped "sup
porting our boys in Vietnam,
Korea, Guam, Spain, Turkey,
Uruguay, Santo Domingo and
about 40 other citadels of
freedom and bastions of dem
ocracy," a bunch of women got
tired of running their radical
boyfriends' mimeograph machines,
fetching coffee and cigarettes
and generally being steno's
for SDS, the Student Mobe, the
New Mobe, Old Mobe, and SNCC -
and started taking a look a
round. A few wondered why they
'were campaigning for "peace
and freedom ,r in Indochina and
the rest of the new frontier
when it was the same - tired old
stuffwith_Mark, Norman, Stokley,
AbMe and Ferry.and just about
every other draft age male hard
at work on his FBI dossier.
Before you could say "Up
against the wall, peace and
Love, lux Barricades7"Amerikka
had spawned a new movement, and
middle class coeds from Grosse
Point and Larchmont were
dressing up like jackbooted
stormtroopers and saying
things like, "Kiss off, buster,
just wait until you meet a
real castrating female." Li
-1 terary types were reading Ti-
Grace Atkinson, Simone De
Beauvoir, Sylvia Platte, Betty
Freidan, Midge Decliter, and
a whole new genre was being
cranked out. Of course by the
time all these ideas and con
cepts about feminism reached the
provinces, they were mostly
trite idioms and 'epitaphs.

Held
A concert was given by
Lofty in the Commons on Fri.
Feb. 7« There was a smaller
turnout than would have been
expected, but then some might
not prefer the strictly acid
rock music of this particular
group (or some might just be
lieve in peace and preserva
tion of eardrums).
Although a space was
cleared for the purpose of
dancing, it was q,uite a while
before anyone actually got up,
and even then not many parti
cipated. The most exciting
part of the whole concert was
when the lead singer changed
into his flourescent white
pants outfit and lit up the
stage with his "glowing" per
sonality.
