In Batman's Camp.
Vintage-Batman and modem-Batman. The camp followers on campus had their choice last month. The former, offered by Dartmouth College Films, was a long, long (longer than Gone With The Wind) collection of serial films on that comic strip hero Batman and his youthful ward, Robin, the Boy Wonder.
More modern Batman, with a vintage flavor, came to campus by way of television. The Dartmouth's critic Arthur Haupt '67 of McLean, Va., began this way:
"It was seven-thirty, and everybody was down in the darkened tube room, waiting. The last commercial flicked by. 'Shaddup,' somebody yelled. 'Down in front - it's coming.' The station break went by - 'Silence, awready!'
"Silence - and there it was - 'Batman' had come to the tube. Cheers went up; there were some comic-book credits (SOCK, OOF!) then the big scene as Bruce Wayne, wealthy socialite spoke to his ward, Dick Grayson. If his identity as the Caped Crusader was discovered, he said gloomily, 'My whole career as a crimefighter will go down the drain.'
" 'They'll still have each other,' someone yelled."
