Washington Demonstration Boasts Both Beards and Mothers in Protest By BOB HDDIERNE As demonstrations with 25,000- 50,000 people go, last Saturday’s Peace March in Washington Was— n’t much to “write home aboutr" Or at least on the surlace it Wasn’t much. The march was well organized, smoothly run and easily ended~ which removes most at the typi- cal news attractions such as tights, mass arrests and other similar disturbances. The match was so well run and the demonstrators so well disciplined that even a determined groop oi counterrdemr oustrators could not get anything started. George Llncoln Rockwell did jump cue marcher who was cariytng a Viet Cong ilag, and several or his colleagues tried much the same thing out they were all quietly hauled away and then ignomtniously lined a mere ten dollars and set tree. The Washington policeLno no- vices when it comes to this sort of thing—must be given tremen- dous credit for the patient, almost courteous way in which they han- (lied the marchers. They know all the tricks of handling crowds. But just as important in main- taining order were tlhe “marshals" oi the participating organizations —marked by orange arm bands— who kept the crowds moving—a Washington ground tulkand‘ who otherwise assisted the police in maintaining a semblance Di order. All or this surtace tranquility on the part of the marchers is somewhat deceiving, however. A- mong their ranks were at least three distinct iactions all fighting to gain control at the socalled Peace Movement. The groups— loosely identified—Were a moder- ately left wing iaction, a radical- ly leit wing traction and the South- ern delegation, the civil rights people whose support is being sought. At the convention which was held in Washington most at the week proceeding the actual dems onstiauon, these groups [ought openly, olten to the point of wrestling matches tor the mlcm~ phone. or the three groups, the civil rights people were the least interested, In fast, they were down right cold about the whole idea at getting involved in a move ment that would “use" them more than "aid” them. So while the radical and moderate groups taught between themselves they also were righting to keep the souLhern delegation interested, telling the southern delegation that® they were all bound together by a common interest in “self-deter- minatlion.” On a somewhat ditferent level, the differences within tlhe move- ment were readily visible just by watching the crowd Saturday. lt ranged mm the usual bearded, longrnaired “heats” to ministers in conventional, conservative suits, to middleaged matrons car- rying signs asking to have their "boys" hack home. s DAVE GIBSON was one of the Grinnellions in Washington, MORE PICTURES ON PAGE 6-‘7. Grinnell College Oldest College Newspaper West of the Mississippi Vol. LXXIIl iRich Character Interpretation Viewed as High Point of Play By MARY MALCOLM _ Audience and actors rollickod together to a riotous evening on Monday and Tuesday evenings at the college Piayers’ perlormonce oi Phillip King’s See How They Run, directed by Tanya Hovanne sian. The farce, given a masterful climax by its cast, called for rich character interpretation and ac tors let loose with gestures, facial expressions and accents that con- sistently hit their mark. Debbie Abbott, as Ida the maid, delighted the audience with her scatterbrained simplicity and at» iusive enthusiasm. As the pun i2 tanical Miss Skillon, Melinda Ward reached a. high point at cumbersome lack of dignity, spending much of the play drunk in the closet J. Laird Garland and Cathy Cosr man played the vicar Lionel Toop and his wife Penelope. Garland was equally at home on stage and running around cit-stage, as well as in his parson's costume and “state of undress.” MlSS C05- man's acting ability was most manitest and delightlful in hEr ex- pressions of openreyed and inno- cent non-complicity in the insane atmosphere at the Vicarage. Bill Downey played Clive with comically extreme but always ap< propriate over-acting. The Com- munist spy was done with con- trasting and equally effective r5< straint: by Max Heliigott, Rick Roehlk, as the bespectacled Hum- phrey, expressed the audience's own happy confusion with his bat- fled, good-natured sincerity. Ken Hicks dashed irantlcally about as the pajamaed bishop and cap- tured the proper ratio of absurdity and pomposity. Bruce McConach- ie, as the Cockney sergeant, was most notable for his cavedrin chest and protruding abdomen. Grinnell.

Cowles Dinner Fetes Children By ANNE FARRER Parking their boots in the hall and their bubble gum behind their ears, approximately 125 first through sixth graders descended on Cowles last night for the Uncle Sam’s Club Christmas Dinner, Eating, squirming, giggling, spill- ing milk, and eating some more, they made short work or roast beef and apple pie They presented, perhaps, a pint-sized version of the North Campus Problem — no one could exactly define the situation and anything went. Grinnellians scrambled to wipe the noses or, get third helpings for, and discuss new math somewhat , intelligently with, their respective guests. Although entertainment was provided by means of Scarlateers. Tanagers, and cartoons, Santa Claus Milt Tootle (ho, ho) put on the biggest show, as he passed out treats. The evening proved a reciprocal fun for the younger generation and success — it provided food and sublimation for the older WiLh Following open house on both North and South campus from 8:309:30. the Three Souls, a jaZl instrumental group, will provide music tor dancing in the North Lounge.
