Bergman Film
Shows in Sexson
Saturday Night
Cinema Limited presents “Se¬
crets of Women,” October 13 at
8:15 p.m. in Sexson Auditorium.
This film is one of a series of
six significant films by outstand¬
ing modern directors around the
world. “Secrets of Women” is
written and directed by Ingmar
Bergman, with Eva Dahlbeck and
Gunnar Bjornstrand in featured
roles. The film is a good exam¬
ple of Bergman’s genre-sardonic
and thoroughly enjoyable type of
production.
HE USES a format of four
women sitting around a country
home waiting for their husbands
to arrive, and passing the time
by telling each other stories of
their marriages. Each story is an
illustration of what a crisis in
love or marriage means to a
woman.
The New Yorker calls the suc¬
cessive revelations “. . . by turns,
harsh, touching, and funny. The
one note repeatedly struck in it —
that because we are human be¬
ings, we behave like human be¬
ings even when we know better —
is a rueful truth well worth hav¬
ing dinned into us, especially if
we’re encouraged to laugh a lit¬
tle along the way.”
TO BE shown along with “Se¬
crets of Women” is a special pro¬
gram of prize-winning UPA ani¬
mated short subjects.
Cinema Limited was created by
those who believe that motion
pictures are not only entertain¬
ment but also an art form, just
as painting, dance, poetry, or mu¬
sic.

thropologist, will speak at the

night at 7:45.
Reaffirming the policy of ban¬
ning organizations with secret or
restrictive constitutions, Dr. Rob¬
bins noted that letters are being
mailed to students’ families this
week, stating the college policy
and indicating that they are not
authorized organizations. As dean
of women and later as administra¬
tive dean, Dr. Robbins said she
“. . . discouraged working with
off-campus organizations,” and is
still personally opposed to work¬
ing with them as a group. Indi¬
vidual support is needed, and she
feels that the “first loyalty is to
the college.”
Reporting on conferences she
recently attended, Dr. Robbins
said a meeting of college presi¬
dents last month discussed ways
of “capitalizing on the brain pow¬
er of women while not dis¬
rupting home life.” Meeting with
the college presidents were such
groups as President Kennedy’s
Committee on the Status of Wom¬
en.
A conference held in Bakers¬
field October 1 discussed prob¬
lems and needs of the nursing
program. Dr. Robbins noted that
there is a “critical shortage of
nurses in the United States.”
Dr. Robbins made the following
statments pertaining to other
events on PCC’s campus.
Attendance Office: “This office
is needed to verify illness. It is a
function that must be perform¬
ed.” However, Dr. Robbins noted
that “. . . different ways of figur¬
ing attendance are presently be¬
ing discussed by the state.”
Appointment of Editors: “Be¬
cause the journalism classes are
instructional classes the policy
has been to appoint an editor who
has been recommended by the ad¬
viser.” Problems that have arisen
are due to the fact that “. . . the
constitution is not clear cut,” she
said.
Bike Racks: The racks that
were to have been provided by
this year are still not on campus.
“We haven’t followed through
with the completion of that . . .
probably because all efforts have
been turned toward the new park¬
ing lots.”
Hermsen Selects

ary magazine, Pipes of Pan.

cisms, and plays. The magazine
will also run the usual short
stories, essays, and poetry.
