“The Quiller Memorandum” is
a spy story set in present-day
Berlin and concerns not the free
world-iron curtain cold war
struggle, but a duel between Brit
ish and American agents and the
leaders of a neo-Nazi movement.
In fact the most impressive
thing about this movie is that it
is one of the first serious spy
stories which is not menaced by
trench-coated Communists.
The main character is Quiller,
who is played by George Segal.
He seems to come out of the clear
blue, although we are told he had
done security work in the Middle
East.
He’s a brash sort and doesn’t
seem to be disturbed that the men
he is replacing met untimely
deaths at the hands of their ad
versaries.
In spite of the fact that they
refused cover when they were
killed, Quiller also prefers to go
it alone, and his efforts to get
away from his own men are al
most as exciting as his flights
from the Nazis.
In trying to find the Nazi head
quarters, he meets a young Ger
man teacher, played by Senta
Berger. She proves to be an in
valuable aid, as well as a wel
come diversion.
It isn’t long before he is cap
tured by the opposition, and he
is given drugs to induce him to
tell where his headquarters are.
The chief villain is played by
Max von Sydow. Like the other
Nazis he is convinced Germany
should be a major power in the
world, and that would involve
ousting the allies first.
Just before Quiller is injected
for the last time the head Nazi
tells his henchmen to kill him as
soon as he is under.
Later he awakens, and needless
to say he is surprised to be alive.
He learns that he doesn’t know
enough to be liquidated and the
Nazis hope he will lead them to
his headquarters.
He soon finds out he is not
alone by any means, and he es
capes by stealing a taxi.
The plot gets pretty thick from
then on, until it comes to a sur
prising climax. If you see
through this one you’re sharper
than I was. But then you have a
hint.
The suspense is never very
great, but the situations manage
to keep everyone interested.
Segal is a little heavy at times
in his characterizations. He tries
to be the opposite of the super-
suave type secret agent, but most
of the time he appears a bungler.
Then miraculously he rises to
the occasion when the chips are
down, doing all sorts of brilliant
things we didn’t think him capa
ble of.
The one-day seminar at the
Memorial Student Center at
Texas A&M is designed to raise
secretarial profession standards
through continued education, ac
cording to Mrs. Beth Hutchison,
local chapter president.
Registration of more than 100
participants begins at 8:30 a.m.
The program begins at 9:15. Bus

Code Is Necessity
The Post Office Department has launched its spring
campaign encouraging more of the public to use ZIP Code
on their mail.
According to that department, the volume of mail that
pours through the U. S. Post Office daily has “grown to
such enormous size that use of ZIP Code has become a
necessity”.
But it seems “only half the letters mailed are now ZIP
Coded.”
While this “Zip gap” exists, the Post Office must
operate on both the old and new system simultaneously.
This cancels out many of the advantages inherent in ZIP
Code.
A Roper Survey has shown that the people who do not
use ZIP Code are either unaware of its importance or do
not know how to find the code they need.
“Aggies are using ZIP Codes more and more,” accord
ing to Ernest Gregg College Station Post master. “Use of
codes has increased at least 10% here since September.”
ZIP Codes should be placed on both mailing and return
addresses. The Post Office will aid in giving out these
codes.
Incidently, the College Station code is 77840.
A new design for a theater
structure and a totally new con
cept in wide-screen motion pic
ture presentation will be featured
in the $6,750,000 United States
pavilion at HemisFair 1968.
John Orchard, director of the
U. S. Expositions Staff for the
Department of Commerce, said
that the feature of the two-build
ing federal exhibit at the Texas
World’s Fair will be a circular
theater structure, 195 feet in
diameter and 70 feet high.
A 20-minute movie based on
The Exhibit Pavilion will be a
temporary structure and will be
removed following the World’s
Fair. Although the ultimate use
of the theater in post-Fair years
has not been determined, Con
gressman Henry B. Gonzalez has
suggested that it be utilized as
an administration building for the
planned Inter-American Educa
tional Center.
ON OTHER CAMPUSES
Reprinted from The Daily Lass-0
With all the publicity lately on William Manchester’s
“Death of a President” (which to me is nothing more than
the latest gossip from someone who was never personally as
sociated with the President, I’d like to recommend a good
book on John Kennedy.)
That is Theodore Sorensen’s “Kennedy.” It is now out
in paperback for $1.65.
Sorensen knew Kennedy from his early years in the
Congress. He does not attempt to tell Kennedy’s life story.
He relates the life of Kennedy as he knew it from the day
Kennedy hired him on his office staff in Washington.
No doubt about it, this book praises Kennedy. But
Sorensen admits in the preface that his book is such because
of his personal respect and admiration for Kennedy.
Sorensen explains, in detail, the political and economic
backgrounds to major issues during the Kennedy adminis
tration.
In other words, if you are interested in reading a book
on Kennedy but are hesitant because of the many books now
out on him, begin with a good one, and that’s Sorensen’s.
the theme of the internation ex
position, “The Confluence of Civ
ilizations in the Americas,” will
be shown in the Confluence Thea
ter. The three-phase movie will
examine “The Legacy,” “The
Harvest” and “The Promise” of
American culture. It will be
planned by Academy Award win
ner Francis Thompson.
The audience will witness a
completely new experience in
theatrics during the three phases
of the performance. Initially, the
theater will be divided into three
400-seat theaters, with the ..first
phase of the movie bbing ^hotvn
on three separate 15 by 20-foot
screens. For the second phase,
the screens will enlarge to 20 by
40 feet. Before the third phase,
the walls dividing the groups will
be raised into the ceiling and the
three screens will disappear into
the floor. The 1,200 persons in
the audience will be joined for the
final phase, which will be shown
on a vast, 50 by 150 foot screen.
“A more detailed announce
ment concerning this area can be
expected in the near future,” said
Gonzalez. “The results of con
ceptual design competition have
been received and evaluated by
the Commerce Department and
negotiations are under way for
the winner to receive a letter of
intent to proceed immediately.”
