'The Group
A screen adaptation of Mary
McCarthy's controversial best-sel
ler, The Group, played for one ad
vanced showing downto>wn Friday
night. 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

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.
And if one enjoys fine entertain
ment, he'll certainly be satisfied
with the apiwaling "'lhe Group"
when it returns to Columbia for
an unlimited eingagelment.

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.

Atlantic Coast and students from
eastern colleges head for the
Pacific Coast. 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.
Wherever the student works, at
home or abroad, he is learning new
things, 1111d meeting new people.
The work is bound to have its
tough side and its enjoyable side,
but the overall experience will
surely leave the student with new
friends. new skills and some hard
cash besides. When a'l this is (.()n
sidered. work isn't such a had
thing after all.
