Theaters, Patrons
Need Improvement
If Hollywood is rig-ht and “movies are better than
ever“, then local theaters reflect only “A Walk on The Wild
Side.”'
Between year-old re-runs and 10-year-old movies which
television has rejected, the weekends are bleak. Unless
you’re satisfied with seeing the same figures dance across
the screen as you did when you were a child or unless you’re
satisfied with movies with casts of thousands and budgets
of hundreds, then you, too, look elsewhere for a couple of
hours of relaxation and entertainment.
Although the drive-ins boast the “late, late show” or
“Hopalong Cassidy” movies of yesteryear, at least one
North Gate theater has been known to show an occasional
first run, first rate movie.
But how many gentlemen would take a date or his
wife to a movie there? For even that rare good movie is
ruined by loud, rude and openly suggestive A&M students
(not Aggies). Surely, any adult is embarrassed by a profu
sion of cat-calls and four letter words when ANY female
appears on the screen.
“Midnight frolics”, of course, invite such comment and
it would be sheer prudery to expect silence and good be
havior at these performances. But similiar actions at other
performances are inexcusable.
“Old Army good bull,” and “boys will be boys” are rea
sons but not excuses for such high-schoolish behavior. For
college men to prop their feet anywhere, throw cups and
boxes and add sadly immature comments is unexplainable.
Can anyone defend it?
Such behavior among those who would rate this edi
torial as “killjoy”, only because of their own lack of ma
turity, may contribute to the fact that all girls aren’t
snowed by Aggies. Maybe some cookie pushers have better
manners.
As far as theater appearance, normal wear and tear
on seating and carpeting would still leave indoor theaters
old, yet clean and comfortable, yet many “boys” prove their
disregard for the property of others.
Every theater manager expects to clean up boxes,
candy wrappers and soft drink cups, but he does not plan
for nor can he always afford to repair damaged seats, walls
and theater screens.
Many cry for a new movie theater. But would new
seating, fixtures and the best movies create an atmosphere
which would prompt people to act in a mature fashion?
Maybe just a rise in prices would better pay for repairs.
There are improvements which are desperately needed
on both sides. Theater management should improve their
property and the quality of the movies shown, (“skin flicks”
are a low point), and the audience must grow up enough to
realize local theaters are not their living rooms for bath
room comments.

Former Florida Pin-Up Girl
Opens Psychedelic Shop
GAINESVILLE, Fla. UP)—Pam
Brewer, the nude beauty who lost
her welcome at the University of
Florida, is now a businesswom
an, proud owner of a psychedelic
shop called “The Subterranean
Circus.”
Miss Brewer’s shop is only a
few blocks from the campus she
departed last February.
Posters, magazines, under
ground newspapers, leather
goods, joss stick incense, paper
flowers, jewelry and original
dress creations di-ew a good
crowd of Sunday shoppers.
Behind an ancient counter,
Miss Brewer, 19, busily stuffed
money into a cardboard box.
“This is my cash register,” she
said. “I usually wind up the day
picking some overflow dollar bills
out of the trash.”
Her attire is “hippie” sans dirt-
off-white sweater with two tan
stripes circling it at her 38-inch
bustline; tan miniskirt; white
tights and black boots.
Among the magazines is Char
latan, including the issue last
year which featured Pam’s un
clothed 38-24-38 form stretched
on a Persian rug. It was this
edition which brought about a
disciplinary hearing. Miss Brew
er’s parents Withdrew her from
the university.
“The Subterranean Circus is
the place where I can express
anything I want—with or with
out university approval,” Pam
said. “I bought a license and pay
sales tax like everyone else.”
GRAMBLING, La. _ Na
tional Guardsmen moved onto the
Grambling College campus Mon
day as about 3,000 students
staged a large, loud rally to pro
test expulsion of 25 students from
the predominantly Negro school.
College officials expelled stu
dents who were considered lead
ers of a five-day demonstration
and boycott in protest of “lack of
academic excellence.”
Guardsmen were called in after
students began throwing dishes
in the school cafeteria and heaved
meat from the cafeteria refrig-
eratbr into the street.
State Police Supt. Thomas Bur
bank, who has been on the cam
pus frequently since Gov. John J.
McKeithen ordered the Guards
men activated Friday, met with
school officials during the day.
A spokesman said the school,
backed with a court order, told
25 to leave the campus or be cit
ed for contempt of court. He
said the expelled students were
charged with “interruption of
orderly academic processes.”
The students left the campus,
as ordered, but demonstrations
