THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday, January 12, 1962 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle Bulletin Board MOVIE go ROUND i Palace Through Saturday — ** “X-15” Some unknowns and untalenteds star in Frank Sinatra’s produc tion of the somewhat stale story about the test pilot’s wife who wants hubby to settle down and thus stay “alive.” But 'hubby’s having none of that. He’s got guts, that one. So she cries and he flys. Then she cries some more and he flys some more. And so on. ' Sunday thru Wednesday — ** “Francis of Assisi” As a sort of I)re-hysterical Oral Roberts, Fran cis, played by Bradford Dillman, gives up the “worldly” life for sainthood. Queen Through Wednesday — * “Twist Around the Clock” Chub by Checker, whoever he is, and a bunch more like him imitate drunks who have taken off run ning, only to find their feet nail ed to the floor. There is some noise related, perhaps, to sing ing, and a romance is thrown in as plot. Campus Through Saturday — **** “Bachelor in Paradise” As the hanky - panky - minded bachelor, Bob Hope punctures many a su burban ego with his ever-sharp tongue. Sunday thru Wednesday — ** “The Comancheros” Portraying a Texas Ranger of yesteryear, John Wayne dashes about the country like crazy. He slugs and shoots apd kills almost everybody. And when he’s in trouble, the calvary, arrives just in time and mops up the surplus scoundrels. Good old calvary, huh Mr. Wayne. Circle Closed until the weather lets Skyway Saturday only — “Sword of Sherwood Forest” and “Yellow stone Kelly” and “A Fever in the Blood” All unreviewed.

Guion Hall Saturday only — **** “Butter- Field 8,” and **“The Time Ma chine” In “Butterfield 8,” the screen adaption of John O’Hara’s novel by the same title, Elizabeth Taylor protrays a high class call girl. Lawrence Harvey, as the high class married man, does most of the calling. Eddip Fisher plays around with porti’aying the female protago nist’s brotherly-inclined friend. “Machine” is full of underground monsters, beautiful young vir gins, and “other such supernatur al creatures.” Sunday only — * “Ada” Pre viously reviewed.

Why can’t we have in The Battalion more features that deal with cultui’al development and controversial issues? It seems to us as if almost every article in The Battalion deals with only the cold, hard facts about the events on cam pus with an occassional article about world affairs thrown in to “keep everyone informed as to what is happening on the out side.” Although reporting the facts is an important service of a student newspaper, it should also serve as a sounding board for student opinion on campus controversies. It is that the intellectual at mosphere outside the classroom on this campus is so sterile that there are no controversies or is it that the college and military officials suppress anything that has a slightly controversial angle? < We personally believe that it is a combination of the two be cause if one were to form an opinion based upon what he reads in The Battalion he would think that this is the most peaceful campus in the world. Unfortun ately this is almost too true. As an example recently the Stu dent Senate went into the com mittee of the whole thus ex cluding all visitors and the press so that it could discuss a some what controversial issue with out incurring “unfavorable pub licity.” Possibly the Corps is the rea son for the lack of intellectual curiosity. It seems if everyone is so obsessed with making the fish “sharp” that they forget that anyone can become a trained parrot, but it takes a mature mind to be able to think and to analyse and then to form an opinion. Howard M. Head, ‘64 Bobby A. Daggs, ‘64 WASHINGTON (AP) — The Navy announced Thursday it will try out a program under which men may enlist in the Navy for three years-one year less than the present minimum. At the same time, the Navy said it will allow men who had been released from duty or dis charged for more than three months to re-enlist for either two or three years. Until now they could re-enlist only for four or six years. The experimental program, which the Navy said is intended to meet “the increased readiness posture of the Navy and the na tion.” will remain in effect until June 30. In a statement, the Navy said it “still encourages all young men to stay in high school and graduate.” A&M Church of Christ Sunday — Radio sermon, 8 a.m.; Bible school, 9:45 a.m.; Morning worship, “The Seven Last Words,” first in a series 10:45 a.m.; Young peoples’ class es, 6:15 p.m.; Aggie class, 6:30 p.m.; Evening worship, “The Pressing Need of a Revival,” 7:15 p.m. Wednesday — Ladies Bible class, 9:30 a.m.; Mid-week ser vices 7:15 p.m. A&M Lutheran Church Sunday — Aggie Bible class, 10 a.m.; Morning worship, “Roc ket-Chair Religion,” 11 a.m. Wednesday — Gamma Delta, 7:15 p.m. A&M Methodist Church Sunday — Second sesion of a four-Sunday series of meetings on Latin America will be held from 6-7:30 p.m. Program will include music by “The Peppers,” a combo composed of Latin A- merican students from A&M, and a panel discussion of education, economics and nationalism in South America by representatives of Argentina, Brazil, Peru and Bolivia.
