MOVIE
go
ROUND
Palace
Through Tuesday— ★★ “Back
Street” Hollywood’s latest ren
dition of the “I-can’t-act-but-Fm-
good-looking” hero, John Gavin,
and Susan Hayward—somewhat
out of her usual role as an al
coholic misfit—embrace and re
embrace their way through Fan
nie Hurst’s “most compassionate
romantic drama.” Vera Miles
wanders through in what should
have been Hayward’s role.
wham!—the entire thing goes
tragic, and Ft. Lauderdale turns
into a gloomy-atmosphered home
for unwed, or at least unhappy
—college girls.
Guion
Friday only— ★ “Gidget Goes
Hawaiian” The worst kind of
contrived comedy. As one re
viewing magazine said, “Poi
meets Girl.”
z Queen
Through Saturday — “Rio
Grande” and “Wings of Chance”
Both unreviewed.
Sunday through Tuesday— ★
“Blitzkreig” and Break Out”
Anyway, the popcorn’s good.
Campus
Through Monday — Jch “The
Devil at Four O’Clock” The
mountain is bound to blow up.
This creates Suspense. The chil
dren must be moved from the
island. Drama. Frank Sinatra,
bad guy turning religious, and
Spencer Tracy, religious guy
waivering, understand each other
in the end. Resolvement. In
teresting scenery though.
Circle
Saturday only—★“Five Brand
ed Women” and “Treasures of
Pancho Villa” and “Between
Heaven and Hell” The women
are branded only as incompetent
starlets. Along with Pancho’s
treasure, the movie’s story be
comes lost. And, to sum up the •
trio, “Between Heaven and Hell”
is not between anything; it is,
instead, simply nowhere.
Sunday through Tuesday —
“Marriage Go Round” and “Man
of the West” Both unreviewed.
Saturday only— ★★★ “A Fe
ver in the Blood” and “Mr. Rob
erts” The former is sad and
brutal and Warner Brother-ish.
The latter is funny-ish, in fact
hilarious, with Jack Lemmon,
Henry Fonda and James Cagney
starring.
Sunday only—★★“The Alamo”
History books don’t lie. De
signed for a set ending, John
Wayne’s troops sort of slow gal
lop into the Alamo, that long-ago
death-trap. They fail to emerge,
artistically as well as physically.
Scenes are glorious and crowded
and faked. Laurence Harvey
barely keeps the word “bloody”
out of Col. Travis’ mouth. The
movie, in general, is strictly for
a bragging Texan.
—Tom Nickell
★★★★★Exceptional
★★★★Excellent
★★★Good
★★Fair
★Poor
Wee Aggies
Skyway
Saturday only — ★★★★“Jun
gle Cat” and “The Unforgiven”
and “Bluebeard’s Ten Honey
moons” The group jumps from
the mastery of Walt Disney’s
nature shots in “Cat” to the
gutty realism of “Unforgiven”
and, finally, to the neck-hair
raising horror of “Bluebeard’s.”
It’s what you might call a bal-
•anced evening.
Sunday through Tuesday—★★
“Ada” and “Where the Boys
Are” “Ada—previously reviewed.
“Where” swings along happily
til the show’s middle, when—
Three future Corps comman
ders and three Aggie dates were
born in Bryan’s St. Joseph Hos
pital last week.
Girl to Mr. and Mrs. Alvin
Meyer Oct. 26. They live at
D-5-C College View.
Boy to Mr. and Mrs. William
Savage, ’60, of C-18-Y College
View, Oct. 27.
....Girl to Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Taber Oct. 29. They live at 4308
Culpepper in Bryan.
Girl to Mr. and Mrs. Bruce
McDaniel, C-15-X College View,
Oct. 29.
Boy to Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Bryan, C-5-X College View, Nov.
1.
Boy was born to Mr. and Mrs.
Sam Spence, 1018 Foster, Nov. 1.

Sound Off-
Editor,
The Battalion:
How fast does a tradition die ?
Is its death measurable in dec
ades ? In years ? Can it be
here one day and gone the next?
Can one man use his power to
deprive the Aggies of their pride
and sense of accomplishment by
snuffing out one of their cher
ished traditions?
At Aggieland the arrival of
the first and biggest log for the
Bonfire has been as traditional
as the Twelfth Man. This year,
as in years past, the Aggie Band
delivered the first log only to
be informed that the symbolic
log was forbidden and that the
weeks of work and many dollars
invested in obtaining it had gone
for naught.
Today the “pulse of the Spirit
of Aggieland” is slower because
an important part of the founda
tion of Aggie Spirit has been
destroyed without any justifica
tion. Is this only the beginning?
What tradition of Aggieland will
be the next victim of the “Spirit-
killers ?”
Let those who realize and
preach the importance of moi'ale
and esprit de corps awaken to
the fact that these essential ele
ments are quickly fading into
the past.
In the long run, it is you, the
Aggie, who will feel the impact
of' this continuance of the de
struction of the time-honored tra
ditions at Aggieland. If any
traditions are to be maintained
at all, it is the obligation of
every Aggie, both past and pres
ent, to stand up now and let his
voice be heard. Our plea is your
plea, and our loss is your loss.
