...coverage of the recent meeting of the Catholic bishops of France. Where did your reporter get his information on the assembly's discussion of the priest workers? Was he in Paris? Did he dream it up? The priest-workers topic was not even on the agenda. Responsible church officials in France state that the matter was "not brought up a single time in the course of the assembly."

The Worker Priest topic was not on the agenda, but it was discussed in a full report made by the Archbishop of Bourges under the title "Les Grandes Orientations."

Only one of the shows, the Barnard production of Ferenc Molnar's Olympia, was clearly identifiable as a comedy, and several others, including the three plays written by undergraduates, could scarcely be identified as anything at all. One thing, however, became clear as the weekend wore on--much of college drama seems quite firmly in the control of people who like experimental theater...
