...minority who truly finds the right to choose immoral, it is your right not to fund either maternity or abortion and your are entitled to the return of the $0.25-0.50 of your R U S dues that would go into the Emergency Loan Fund. Deborah B. Leiderman '76 Ellen Kelman...
...Guard is a somber one, it is superbly painted by the Gilbert and Sullivan Players in a production which surpasses even their own invariably high standards. The show begins slowly, unimpressively, as the groundwork of the plot is carefully laid. But the momentum picks up for good when Elsie (Ellen Burkhardt) and Jack Point (Terry Knickerbocker) team in a lovely duet that tells the sad tale of "the merryman and his maid ("I have a song to sing, O!"); in this evocatively staged number, lyrics, music, choreography and voices blend into a moving statement of the main terms...

...preface to Literary Women, Ellen Moers admits that she once thought "segregating major writers from the general course of literary history simply because of their sex was insulting." Her instincts were right. But trapped in a boondoggle-a National Endowment for the Humanities grant for a book on women writers-Moers betrayed her better judgment. With forced bravado, she tucks three centuries of French, English and American authors between the covers of her book, as if she were playing hostess to a slumber party of pen pals...
