The production revealed the lives of eight Vassar graduates, who played with sex, money, and neuroses the way most people toss around sand at the beach. Set in the depression-ridden 30's, the film followed the novel with taste and precision. Costuming and sets were in keeping with the period, and casting relatively un known actresses in the roles of "the group" reflects a stroke of genius on the part of director Sidney Lumet. Elizabeth Hlartman, a 1965 Academy Award nominee for her performance in A Patch of Blue, played Priss. In this role as the meek, dedicated "pet" of the group, she almost fatally submitted to her pediatrician-husband's experimen tal theories concerning breast feeding and toilet-training.

Students Se Want Jobs By TOM B. PREWE'T Feature Editor This is the time of year when thousands of students all over the United States are getting to their wits' ends when they realize that summer is only weeks away and they have not secured themselves a summer job. The ideal summer job for many students is one that is located near some pleasure resort where the student may spend his leisure hours frolicking. A popular place in this category in South Carolina is Myrtle Beach where each sum mer, hundreds of students secure themselves a position in eating establishments, in the pleasure pavilions and o t h e r attractions such as the Disneyesque "Pirate land." The beaches surrounding this area abound in bikini-clad cuties for the male workers and surf board-toting moon doggies for the female of the species. Gal %matic Treat , EUGENE WILLARD seemed to give up trying to over come her monotonous role. Candice Bergen (daughter of ventriloquist Edgar Bergen), en acted the role of Lakey. She was a "dark beauty." She was a les bian, and she was excellent as the stereotype of "the group." I can only hope that we'll all see more of Miss Bergen in the near future. lowe%er, I was most exception ally impressed with Joanna Pettet as the unbalanced Kay. She began slowly and built upon her part until in the final minutes of the film in which she projected the fire and talent of an emerging actress. In a critical sense, the filming was choppy and tihe dialogue less than profound. Yet, the book was guilty of these same short-coni ings. If one enjoyed the hook, he'll enjoy the movie equally as well.

For students who can afford it and want to get away from the land of the free and the home of the brave, there is exciting Europe awaiting one small ocean's-breadth away. Many students apply for summer-long visits to a country in Europe where they spend their suinier working, studying and traveling. The purpose is to widen the student's horizons by the unique experience of working and playing in a country that has a culture different from the stu (lent's native land. Many American students apply for work in the little country of Switzerland which boasts such famous exports as Swiss Cheese, accurate time pieces and best of all, Ursula Andress. lere, many students find jobs in plush resorts set in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Swiss Alps. Whatever coun try the student finds work in, he is bound to return home with a wider perspective of the world in general. The student will probably also return with a sunburn, a trace of an accent, depending on the language spoken where he worked, and tons of souvenirs and gifts for the relatives.

Sometimes these students do not even bother to put in applications and end up beach-bumming and doing odd jobs when the payments come due on the surf board or the hunger pangs get too unbearable. These students tend to return home with less money than they left with. Likewise, these students tend to leave behind them a reputation $ tha, would make the gossips back home turn back-flips and send the parents into shock. But this is the price of broadening the old horizons. When a student home for the summer simply isn't inclined to travel, he is liable to seek em ployment in his own hometown. To many people, this is the most desirable way to spend the sum mer because You get home cook ing, a free place to stay, a summer girlfriend and an overall sense of security. It is much easier to save money like this and since you probably already know many of (he idiosyncracies of the people that you have to deal with in your work, the job is less of a grind and frustration is minimized.
