Lonely?

There's a little book coming out this week that answers all the questions about 12 girls' colleges in the neighborhood from where to buy your Bquor to what time to get out of her bedroom.

It was all done by some men from the College and from Dartmouth who spent a night in a Northamption jail for want of a better place to sleep after their Smith girls had been safely tucked in. They decided it wouldn't happen to them again or to anyone else, for that matter.

"For Men Lonely" is a pocket guide to where to stay, eat, buy flowers, and how to get around at such spots as Vassar, Smith, Connecticut, Wellesley, Pine Manor, Skidmore, Wheaten and so on.

Smith Girls Don't Bore

Alan P. Jones '49, who has headquarters in Leverett House, did most of the work on Wellesley, Pine Manor, Radcliffe, and Wheaton. The Dartmouth boys seemed to concentrate on Smith where "after four years of operating, we've never been bored. Maybe it's the girls," they add modestly.

The book finds Radcliffe "somewhat saturated with Harvard men" but says that anyone who "can tie a good Windsor" is likely to pass. The list of Boston night spots in the 'Cliffe write-up is so comprehensive that many of the girls have ordered copies so they will be able to answer the old "Well, where shall we go?"

Pine Manor is summed up succinctly as a place where young ladies learn "about the ways of college boys and how they come and go in two years instead of four. Everyone is prepared for Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of the Junior League just that much sooner," the authors comment.

She's a Big Girl

All the rules at Bennington, according to the little green book, are based on the theory that "They're big girls now." Men are permitted about the campus till 1 o'clock in the morning on weekdays and 2 o'clock after Saturday night festivities.

A cryptic note at the bottom of a page says, "It's a long trip, but they could have moved Bennington to the Belgian Congo and we'd still go--you're dating a woman of the world."

Wellesley was "charming" to the authors after they got over the feeling it was all a cross country race. The rolling hills and valleys that the girls cycle over so dexterously also reminded the boys of one of "the tougher golf courses back home." They recommended as a major spring pastime "those long walks through the Hunnewell estate and around Lake Waban." Harvard men are reminded that "with a little ingenuity, you can stay lost all day."

Big Green Has Map

Getting out to the town seems to confuse the Big Green. "No matter how many-times you've made the trip, there's always the chance you'll take the wrong car and end up at Braves Field instead of Tower Court."

Skidmore visitors are warned against taking too much of the Saratoga mineral water before hitting the town's 90 bars. "One Yale man," they point out, "was ripped asunder."

Sandwiched somewhere between each college's nighteries and maps is a list of the girls' own big weekends so that smoothies can call her up for a casual get-together and corner the all-important invitation.
