Gladys Roberts, in her own low-keyed way, was supervising the Wallace Girls--most of whom were volunteer women from Greater Boston. The Wallace Girls wore appropriate banners and boaters and paraded up and down the aisles soliciting funds, selling Wallace neckties, and handling out little cards. They were eager to please. Occasionally one fo them would come running back to Gladys Roberts and say "None of the people in my row wanted to give. But I asked them anyway, just for the fun of it. Was that all right?" Of course, it was all right...
...Summer School is different in other ways. It is more rigidly run than the academic year is: it has strict rules against men visiting girls' rooms and vice versa, although this year for the first time visitors will be permitted in certain common rooms. Women in dorms have early curfews. There is a social director to plan and sponsor group activities, something which wouldn't make sense for the fragmented Harvard community during the year.

...surefire hits in TV programming. Last year such hey-look-me-overs as Miss USA, Miss Universe and a newer entry called Model of the Year ranked among the 20 highest-rated specials for the entire season.

The cast begins speaking in tongues, but English is the least of them. The program says that the play is "somewhat like Euripides' The Bacchae," but no one is likely to recognize it. Anyway, thought...
Since the god Dionysus is present, an orgy is mandatory. Sweaty, tangled heaps of men and women kiss and fondle each other from head to toe, all the while uttering erotic moans and groans. Though the audience holds no Equity cards, it is urged to join the act, in the name of "participatory, environmental theater." Sibilant seductive whispers invite the spectators to dance. Some playgoers are gin'gerly about it; others are the life of the orgy...
