The Quadrangle Times April 2019 Newsletter of the Quadrangle Residents Association Written and Produced by the Quadrangle Residents The Quadrangle Times April 2019 Newsletter of The Quadrangle Residents Association Written and Produced by The Quadrangle Residents Pete and Julie Stern working in the Cave UNSUNG HEROES Preparing for the Activities Showcase, set for Sunday, May 19th, has reminded us planners of the vast array of opportunities to be engaged, entertained, enlightened, and improved that are offered to those of us fortunate enough to live at The Quadrangle. It has also made us stop and think about the people we call unsung heroes---fellow residents whose quiet, behind-the-scenes contributions make life more attractive, smoothly- functioning, and convenient for the rest of us. Some of these are players in a more complex system: Six evenings a week, Channel 78 Team Members enter “the Cave” — an electronics closet in the Craft Room — to produce the power point display of menus, schedules, upcoming events and more that appears in blue on your TV screen. 1 Working in teams of two, these volunteers serve four times each month. Dave and Mary Manuszak, Fred and Marion Schindler, Marilyn Arnott and Edith Frumin, Gary and Deana Rigg, Pete and Julie Stern, Judy Clifford, Lee Reich, Sandi Savage, and Diane Drott are all regular visitors to the Cave. Twice each year, the Quadrangle Book Sale raises hundreds of dollars to support the Library. For the other 363 days, the real work goes on behind the scenes. When residents donate their no-longer-wanted books, they generally bring them to the Library. Steve Floreen and Gary Rigg push the heavily laden cart to the book sale storage room on the third floor of Building 7. Otherwise, Pete Stern goes directly to the donor’s apartment and collects them. Once the books are collected, Judy Clifford performs the Herculean task of sorting them, pricing them, and planning the layout of the Sale. Six days a week, puzzle-minded residents can pick up copies of the latest Sudoku, Crossword, Cryptogram, and Jumble from the daily Philadelphia Inquirer. For years this service was provided single-handedly by Pete Ridgway, who went to the copier early each morning. Now he is helped by Mary Manuszak, and Ruth Rothman, thus allowing him to sleep later on some mornings. Bruni thanks them! There is a special crew of “tall people” who hang the pictures for every art show, as well as the ones that line the hallways permanently. Pete Ridgway has hung over 600 pictures, receiving help along the way from Dave Manuszak, Rick Jacobs, and Murray Gerstenhaber, to name a few. The Audio-Visual closet may be closely related to the Augean Stables in terms of the tangle of incompatible wiring it contains, but Don Verrier and his stalwart cohort of Tom Gasper, Pete Stern, and Steve Phillips struggle with it manfully nearly every day, providing sound for concerts, lectures, current events, movies, literary groups, and more. If you could hear the words, you can thank an audio-visual guy. Other unsung heroes include Joan Wallick, who tidies the central bulletin board (along with the individuals who do so in the individual buildings); Marilyn Loos, who maintains the Memorial Table outside the elevators; Lois Gasper, who writes letters of condolence; and Barbara Gadegbeku, who takes photos of all the new residents and also finds photos for the Memorial Table. And above all, since you are reading this article in the QT, you can thank Joe Hocky and his pals for stuffing it in your box, and you can especially thank Helen Gindele for putting the newsletter together, month after month after month! — Julie Stern 2 EVENTS IN APRIL 2019 THURSDAY NIGHT LECTURES 7:30pm in the Auditorium Apr. 4 James Krippner, Professor of History, Haverford College: “A History of Mexican Populism: From the Revolution of 1910 to the Election of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.” Apr. 18 Nancy Weiss Malkiel, Professor of HistoryEmeritus, Princeton University: “Keep the Damned Women Out: The Struggle for CoEducation.” May 2 Elizabeth Mosier, novelist and essayist: “Excavating Memory: Archaeology and Home.” MUSIC Saturdays, 7:30pm, Auditorium Apr. 6 Astral presents a piano trio: Katie Hun, violin; Zlatomir Fung, cello; Ronaldo Rolim, piano.

Ellie Hinsey, Chair, Trips Committee 5 QRA MATTERS The QRA website committee continues to meet and make decisions about both the technical aspects and the content of the site. As I mentioned last month, one of the most exciting features will be a place where you can find pictures and biographies of residents, including your own. We’ll get to know each other better and more quickly by using this feature. We already have a volunteer to take pictures to accompany the personal and professional information that each resident includes. Those who have fairly recent resident profiles in the QT archives may find these to be just fine for the website; others will want to make changes or create new ones. We plan to provide guidelines and support for these write- ups, so don’t be hesitant about participating if you feel you would rather have someone else revise your profile. Other projects that continue are these three: —We expect to have three bids for updating if not replacing our current A/V system soon. Lynne has been preparing Sunrise for this priority for which no money had been budgeted. —We are in need of a new Auditorium piano. I’ve been working with Dick Wernick to find an adequate replacement.

RON WOODROOF, early 40's, handsome, long sandy hair, denim clad, worn snakeskin boots, dusty, cowboy hat, mirrored aviators, is engaged in wild SEX with a WOMAN. He watches the rodeo through open slats in a BULL STALL as the STEER throws the COWBOY violently thru the air; he lands hard on the dirt. Another WOMAN snorts cocaine and offers some to Ron as he switches over to having SEX with her. The BULL STOMPS the Cowboy with its HOOFS. Ron climaxes -- pleasure and pain seem to come out of him, but we can't hear him, only this strange RINGING. RODEO CLOWNS grab the Cowboy's limp body and drag him out of the ring.
