...town's hottest club is the Bottom Line, in Greenwich Village (15 W. Fourth St.), where for a nominal admission ($5.50) some of rock's best talent is on view. During convention week, the management has booked a bunch of folkies-Eric Andersen, Livingston Taylor, Mary Travers, Tom Paxton -who will presumably regale visiting delegates with songs of chiding irony and social import. The Convention, a group of comic actors, will open each show with irreverent improvisations on the day's events at the Garden.

When asked to vote on the issue last February, 55% of the cadet corps were in favor of easing the code if there were mitigating circumstances. The measure failed to carry, however, because it fell short of the required two-thirds majority...
