...restrictive handicaps that disabled students encounter at Harvard are primarily of two varieties: architectural and attitudinal. Many of Harvard's facilities are inaccessible, presenting us with difficulties not only in entering them but in using them as well. As one might expect, the University's numerous old buildings, the uneven brick sidewalks and the maniacal automobile traffic in the Square are a nightmare-come-true for a person in a wheelchair...
...Director Steven Spielberg (the film's executive producer), it tells the story of a gaggle of suburban teen-agers who will stop at nothing to see the Beatles in person during their maiden visit to New York. As madcap farce the movie is wildly uneven: it starts slowly, and ultimately tots up as many dead spots as solid laughs. Yet the film succeeds at a far worthier mission. I Wanna Hold Your Hand re-creates precisely the excitement the Beatles let loose 14 years ago; it transports the audience back to the eye of a phenomenal social hurricane...
...very, very noticeable relationship between size of department and student contentment. Departments like Geology and Astronomy, for example, are very, very well thought of by the undergraduate majors. Then you measure that against English, Economics, Government, History and so on, the warhorse fields...You finally have a very, very uneven balance which can't be totally rectified by having somewhat larger staffs in the more popular department...
...frustrating incoherence marred both Ann diFruscia's "Prisma" and Elizabeth S.-Wilkerson's "When the Street Lights Come On," accenting the uneven choreography of the company. In "Prisma," large wooden angles and U-shapes hung at the back of the stage, suggesting the organizing principle of the choreography. At its best, the dance was forthright and geometric, firmly asserted on the ground and in space as a series of poses blocked and held. Too much of its tedious time-span, however, was cluttered with extraneous movement: what should have been an architecture of simplicity was badly in need of discipline...
...semester is the quintessential late '60s musical, with the large added bonus of a brilliant score by Stephen Sondheim. Company is the story of a single man among his married friends, and his shifting feelings about the value of marriage. Paris Barclay's crew is a bit uneven, but all the leads can sing, which is all that a musical really requires. A must for Sondheim freaks--and since there are so many of the, you'd better get your tickets in advance. Tonight, tomorrow and Saturday...
