Conversation with - Margaret
’Mead.”
Sponsored by the
Association of Women
Students, the film was one of
two shown in a seminar focus
on women.
The other’ film “The
Benefactor” was a case study
on abortion from' “The
Defenders’’, a former
television series.
AWS president Joyce
Bratich said the films were
shown because they were
consistent with “the goals of
the organization to educate
the women students.”
Filmed at the American
r ; Museum of Natural Histroy,
the Mead film was directed as
a • dialogue between Miss
_.Mead:and a young,.aspiring
anthropologist.
The two anthropologists
discussed sociological
aspects of the American
culture and other cultures.
Miss Mead explained the
image of the “happy savage”'
had been “cooked-up” by so
called civilized man. She said'
ideas of what could be con
sidered as civilized behavior
differed from culture to
culture.
She said male and female
roles were also relative to
cultural upbringing. Females
are not naturally submissive
nor are males naturally
dominant.

Robert Walker, sculptor, is
currently displaying an
exhibit in, the Arts Building
and in the East-West Con
course of the Visual Arts
Building at the University.
Walker sums up his exhibit
with the following quote by
Henry David Thoreau. “You
‘must love the crust of the
earth on which you dwell
more than the sweet crust of
any bread or cake. You.must
be-able to extract nutriment
out of a sand-heap. You must
have so good an/appetite as
this, else you will live in
vain.” - • ■ ;
The exhibit was previewed
at an invitational reception on
Feb. 26 and will continue
through March' 8. Gallery

Walker’s sculptures are
large peices, organic in
nature and . composed of
concrete, oak beams, rock,
tree branches and steel. They
are displayed in the dimly lit
gallery, with lighting
designed by Walker which

capable of producing’ out

Lincoln but also produce men
who lose their individuality in
the masses.
The conversation ended
with Miss Mead's- en
couraging the young an
thropologist to accept the
challenge of the world before
him.
‘ ‘ T h e Benefactor’’
presented the pros and cons of
abortion law reform through
the trial of a Dr. Montgomery
who had been arrested for
performing illegal abortions.
The highly emotional
melodrama came out
strongly in favor of abortion
reform.
Dr. Montgomery was
presented as a righteous man
firmly convinced that by
performing illegal abortions
he was filling the gap between
the existing abortion laws and
-the—alternatives—to—legal
abortions.
He judiciously chose his
patients; refusing to operate
on women who were married,
promiscuous, strong enough
to survive the pregnancy or
likely to suffer religious
conflicts.

-.jt is not centered around
music this year, but rather is
centered around any and all
aspects of our culture, Hirsch
said.
■ When-asked what to expect
at this yearls-festival besides
“the unexpected”, Hirsch
said, “a lot of people, a lot of
entertainment and a lot of
fun.” ..
One unique aspect of this
spring’s Festival will be the
presence of one or two domes
on-the festival grounds to be
used as either a festival
headquarters - or—a—storage
area.
~ “We are hoping for a dome
that will be 70 feet in
diameter,” Hirsch said, and
can be used as an exhibit of an
alternative structure to' the
box-like structures Penn
State is noted for. The dome’s
main material is wood.
The Festival Committee is
also hoping for one or two
professional rock groups.

The Festival will be held
June 9-11 on the intramural
fields between University
Drive and Beaver Stadium.--
• Between 7,000 to 15,000
people are expected to‘attend
the festival, Hirsch-said.
Preparations are also
getting under way for this
spring’s Free-University.
They are seeking” “course
initiators,” rather than
“course instructors” to lead
courses Hirsch said. % '
“We are trying to em
phasize an alternative
learning experience where
the actual course leader is no'
longer a lecturer, but rather
an - information source,_ar
arbitrator, mediator and co
ordinator of.classes,” he said.
The Free U is especially
welcoming faculty, graduate
students and townspeople to
become involved as both
students and course
initiators.
