Some women, like Susan McGovern Rowen, daughter of Senator George McGovern, are opting to switch back from their husbands' to their "birth names." ("Maiden" name, it is generally agreed, seldom applies to today's bride.) Others like Nancy Lee-Borden, a graduate student at the University of North Dakota, and Geraldine Yarnal-Truslow, a psychiatric social worker in The Bronx, hyphenate their own and their husbands' names.

The original plan, as publicized, was to divide time roughly equally between "such new productions as are seldom seen outside New York" and a program of "repertory revivals." The "new productions" hardly came in droves, nor have they since. Former actor/producer Dean Gitter '56, who founded the theater, always said he wanted to emphasize "American film as art" but he also wanted to show lots of foreign films to round out the program...
However, in an institution in which policy is seldom made in the guise of policy--only twice in recent history has the Corporation explicitly issued policy statements--it is the sum of a series of dollars-and-cents decisions that determine the direction of the University...
