Rollie White Coliseum Thursday, February 20, 1969 8:00 p. m. “THE BROTHERHOOD," showing across the street, is like an Excedrin headache commer cial ten minutes short of two hours long. Like the Excedrin commercial, “The Brotherhood” takes the lit tle glimpses of life that seem too much for us and focuses on them. For example, it takes Kirk Douglas, big brother of Vince, played by Alex Cord, and shows him to be the last of the tough- gutted Mafians, a reluctant play er in the modern-day crime syn dicate game. Douglas is a member of the old style—the ones who jour neyed from Sicily and scraped life off dirty streets and depress ing times.

Chief of staff at 12th Air Force Headquarters, Bergstrom AFB, General Riddle is a command pilot and has served with distinc tion. He wears the Silver Star, Legion of Merit with oak leaf cluster, Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal with eight oak leaf clusters and the French Croix de Guerre with Palm. The 55-year-old Decatur native attended Decatur Baptist College and completed agricultural ad ministration studies here in 1937. General Riddle was plans and training staff officer of the 2nd Battalion Infantry Staff in the Cadet Corps and a letterman pitcher of the Aggie baseball team. He was in the “T” Club with Charles DeWare, all-confer ence football center; All-America guard Joel Routt and Dick Todd. The general was commissioned and earned his wings at Kelly Field. He flew in Panama and Caribbean Commands, command ed squadron and group P-38 pilot training units and took the 479th Fighter Group to England. Member of the first Armed Forces Staff College graduating class, he held posts in the Con tinental Air Command, Armed Forces Special Weapons Com mand at Sandia Base, N.M., and tactical units before becoming 17th Air Force chief of staff. From inspector general and other Tactical Air Command assign ments, General Riddle became chief of the Military Assistance Advisory Group-Japan in 19^6. He went from MAAG to Berg strom last July. The officer and his wife, the former Davilla Jane St. Clair, have four children. Syndicate, which hopes to make it big in labor and government job contracts with federal govern ment, thus making themselves in- dispensible. VINCE IS a member of the new set. Two college degrees, his Army obligation behind him, he is ready to embark on the pro verbial career of the Anglo-Sax on, middle-class ex-Sicilian. Only he doesn’t. He wants to enter the syndicate game, as he tells big brother. Big brother takes him in. In fact, he is taken in by ev erybody in the syndicate. But that’s just the beginning. Big brother finds out from his old group of Mafia compadres who leaked the information used to knock off 41 good strong rela tives 35 years ago. One of those relatives was Pappa Gionetta, leader of the pack, father of the two brothers. DOUGLAS DISPOSES of the informer in a remarkably blood less way for the type of film this is. What happens after big broth er continually says no to the syn dicate’s idea of work for the gov ernment in vital electronic fields ? Cottonseed flour is seen as a possible answer for much of the protein malnutrition in his native India by Dr. Bantval P. Baliga, who has returned here from Bombay, where he is head of re search and development for Tata Oils. “The addition of cottonseed flour to the wheat flour pres ently used could eliminate the problem of lack of protein for those consuming it,” Baliga ex plains. Mrs. Baliga, who is enjoying her first visit to the United States, served three kinds of In dian foods containing cottonseed flour to members of the Cotton Texas A&M Student Activity Cards and Town Hall Season Tickets Honored OTHER TICKET PRICES: Aggie Date or Spouse $1.50 Other Students $2.00 General Admission $3.00 Tickets on sale at MSC Student Program Office Research Committee of Texas at a recent luncheon here. “The men seemed to enjoy my chirotis, puris, and chapatis,” she reported, basing the opinion on the speed with which they dis appeared. The Baligas were guests of Dr. Carl M. Cater, head of the Cot tonseed Products Research Lab oratory of the Texas Engineer ing Experiment Station. The Cottonseed Products Re search Laboratory has conduct ed research concerning cotton seed protein for human consump tion for several years with the cooperation of the Cotton Re search Committee. “I believe a capability in this type of food research which is not found anywhere else,” Baliga said. He mentioned Cater, Dr. Karl F. Mattil, di rector of Food Products Research, and Dr. Carl M. Lyman, professor of Soil and Crop Sciences, as leaders in the field. Baliga received his Ph.D. from A&M in 1956 and is now a post doctoral fellow in the Biochem istry and Biophysics Department. He has been instrumental in moving Tata Oils, a highly diver sified consumer goods enterprise, into the area of peanut products and more recently, into cotton seed products. “Cotton is grown extensively Lnd quite well in India,” he pointed out. “It seems wiser to me to concentrate on growing better cotton than to introduce new crops at this time.” “Tata recently acquired a large crushing unit in Madras from a Dutch concern. We are modern izing it and plan to produce edi ble cottonseed flour from both glanded and glandless seeds,” Baliga continued. Included among the high-pro tein products which have been successfully manufactured utiliz ing cottonseed flour are dairy- type products, meat-type prod ucts, dough products, cereal products, macaroni-type products and specialty foods such as diet foods, beverages, survival ra tions, confections, and coatings. The Baligas have traveled ex tensively since September but are ardent admirers of Texas and enthusiastic practitioners of the “Aggie Spirit.” They will return to Bombay in May. What happens after he makes his final hit on the man who was responsible for the death of his father ? That’s the key to the whole film. That’s also the thing that essentially distinguishes it from the Excedrin commercial. Excedrin headaches go away. The problems of being integrally involved in deliberate, illegal crime, don’t. As Douglas says in one moving moment: “They’ve got you by the throat.” Kirk Douglas is the only one in the cast who does a fair job of playing the part, and that, one is led to believe, was in spite of the producer-directors. The re mainder of the film is too slow, too foggy, and not up to profes sional par. “Bullitt,” another crime film with only slight similarities, puts it in the shade. “The Brotherhood” pursues a course of pseudo-realism; while trying to be realistic, it doesn’t quite make it, but it’s not so far out that what takes place is ut terly impossible. What it is, is a good, depress ing attempt. TAMU TOWN HALL SPECIAL ATTRACTION JULIUS U1ECHTER AND THE BAJA MARIMBA BAND ’ <«>> V N 1 vs, .<3 ' _ GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!!
