Among the retirees is Peggy Polinsky, 34, who can trace her bona fides back to longtime residence in Haight-Ashbury, when that was the world capital of hippiedom. Now a mother of two and the wife of an actor who works in soap operas, she has brought her brood, because "city kids don't get a chance to play in the dirt much. Besides, I used to go to a lot of these things." But rock concerts today are not the same as their 1960s antecedents, she insists, surveying with disgust the already growing carpet of empty beer cans...

...Film Studies. Of the 180 students enrolled in the course, nine are present. By the end of the lecture, six more will have arrived. A puzzled girl distributes Committee on Undergraduate Education (CUE) Guide Course Evaluation sheets for next year's publication, but Professor Petric informs her with a trace of exasperation, that both he and the course will depart after this lecture--and besides, he says, class attendance is not exactly high this day.

...frippery. Light as whipped cream, sparkling as champagne, frivolous as a Rococco ceiling, Beaumarchais' Figaro spices the Loeb mainstage this weekend. Intellectual content? Probably very little (but if you need an excuse to gambol the first weekend of Reading Period, try to trace the Moliere influences). Scholarly substance? Come now (though if you insist, this was the primary source for both Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro" and Rossini's "Barber of Seville"). Profundity? Not a smidgen, I hope.
