ROUND
Palace
Through Saturday — ** “The Pit
and the Pendulum” In writing
“The Pit and the Pendulum,” Ed
gar Allen Poe left us a powerful,
nightmarish novel. In making a
movie of Poe’s novel, the movie
industry has offered us a cheap
way to avoid reading that novel.
The industry extends to us fright
rather than terror, alarm rather
than horror, “badness” rather than
insanity, etc. Seeing this movie
without reading the book is like
sneezing without having a cold .
Sunday thru Tuesday— **
“Scream of Fear” Susan Strasberg
protrays a young woman beset by
magnified fears. She is just jittery
enough, just dynamic enough to
fill the part. Sneaky camera angles
drag the viewer into the act; some
might even consider the tonsil
shots a bit too chummy.
Queen
Through Saturday — ** “Misty”
and ** “The Oklahomin” “Misty”
should endear itself to the “Lassie - ”
crowd. “The Oklahomin” should
endear itself to the TV-Western
crowd. No doubt, both movies are
approved for the under-eighteen
crowd, which, in a sense, speaks
so poorly of them as to render cri
ticism unneccessary.
Sunday thru Tuesday —** •“Gun
point” and “The Big Gamble” Both
unreviewed.
Campus
Through Saturday — * “Man
Trap” Two war buddies team up
to heist three million dollars from
a South American arms-buyer. The
money is cai’ried around in a green,
metal suitcase — along with the
brains of the director, the actors,
or anyone else connected with the
making of the movie.
Sunday thru Wednesday — ****
“Town Without Pity” Ole — or
whatever one is supposed to say
when the subject of rape is hand
led with honesty and delicacy.
Kirk Douglas stars.

Saturday only — *** “The Tall
Story” and ** “The Big Sky” and

“Six Bridges to Cross” “Story” is,
well, the story of bribery amongst
the college basketballers, told with
tongue in check. Antony Perkins
and Jane Fonda share a crowded
shower. Kirk Douglas single-hand-
erly conquers a Sioux maiden and
her relatives in “Sky.” “Bridges”
— unreviewed.
Sunday thru Tuesday — **
“Armored Command” and **
“Seventh Calvery” “Command” —
previously reviewed. In the latter,
good old Randolph Scott is the
good old hero in the good old
tradition, if not more so he does
n’t kiss anybody, not even his
horse.

“Street” — previouely reviewed.
“Persuasion,” with Gary Cooper,
deals with the Quaker question of
“to kill or not to kill.” That’s the
question all right and it’s eventu
ally psuedo-solved, but underlying
the weighty theme are many small
er, incisive, and humorous insights
into Quaker life in the middle nine
teenth century.

Anthis Explains
Election Rules
Editor,
The Battalion:
I would like to answer some
questions about the recent fresh
man class election for Mr. Tim
O’Neil (see Sound Off, Wednes
day, Dec. 6) and all others in
terested.
The election procedures as they
appear in the college regulations
were passed at the end of last
year and so are quiet new. Can
didates were instructed to ac
quaint themselves with the elec
tion procedures.
... I am convinced that they
(candidates) place great import
ance in the offices they seek. To
the knowledge of the election
commission no one stopped the
candidates from campaigning as
long as they followed the re
gulations.

“This age of specialization
opens special opportunities
for the well-rounded man!”
Robert Saudek, President
Robert Saudek Associates, Inc.
“The more specialists society creates to cope with its
complexities, the easier it can be for a non-specialist to
achieve success.
If that seems paradoxical, look at it this way: the more
men who go out for specific positions on the ball club,
the more chance you have to wind up as manager!
Today’s world — in government, business, the arts, even
science —needs the well-rounded man. He’s the man who
can see the entire picture...the man who can draw on a
broad background of knowledge, evaluate the problem,
then assign the details to specialists.
The world of entertainment may seem somewhat spe
cial, but it’s a case in point. These days, it demands more
of its people than even before. Today’s musical comedy
scare is often as sophisticated as grand opera. Drama
draws heavily on psychology and history. Television pro
ductions are concerned with nuclear science and political
science. If you’ve ever watched ‘Omnibus’ you may have
seen how our productions have run the gamut of a wide
range of man’s interests.
So I suggest to you that even though you may concen
trate on one special field of interest, keep your viewpoint
broad. Keep your college curriculum as diversified as pos
sible. Attend lectures and concerts, the theatres and mu
seums. Above all, read and read, and listen and listen!
But pay scant heed to the oracle who says there’s no route
to the top but that of specialization. I don’t believe it!”
