THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday, March 5, 1971 At the cinema CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle ‘Buttl’ maHagCS tO be Cold By PAT GRIMES The film “Burn!” at the Palace, should have. Marlon Brando does his thing once again, which proves that some technique actors need to fade away, die off or just plain retire. His manner, like his weight, is exaggerated beyond proportion. His speech is an impediment and as a seasoned performer he should stop resting on his laurels. The picture itself is a study in blood, detailed gore and filth with racial overtones thrown in because that's been Brando’s pet peve for years. Enslavement and death encom pass an “action” plot or rather plotless action. Brando’s the man who sells war, but we all know Brando sells (or trys to) Brando—in techni color, of course. If you’ve caught the rushes, you’ve seen the film. A&M wrong “It’s an electric watch that Tve been working on—but there still are a few bugs to work out!” (continued from page 1) posed to the United States with out making the Latins resent our U.S. tendencies to be patronizing. “We’ve led them to believe we can remake them in our own im age, and that’s impossible,” Sen. Church said. According to Sen. Church, the United States should become more mature, and learn to under stand that “we don’t have to run the world.” “Extreme isolationism after World War II was wrong,” he said, “and we paid for it. Now we’ve gone to a policy of extreme interventionism.” His opinion is that America should intervene only when there is a threat to the security of our country. The Campus theater offers, for questionable enjoyment, “The Se cret of Dorian Gray.” Those of you who have read the book should skip this “modern allegory” by Oscar Wilde. As usual the film runs havoc with the book and “modern” isn’t the word for it. Those unfamiliar with the book, and who enjoy the weird and fleshy, will sit through this one fully intrigued—with the photog raphy, I’m willing to bet. Dorian Gray is an innocently beautiful young man who, upon seeing a portrait of himself, vainly trades his soul for eternal youth. The portrait ironically reflects his mortal deeds in life, thus it ages in his place. First an affair of the heart looms on the horizon but he re jects her because she’s impover ished.

I do, however, disagree with what he had to say in respect to what he referred to as, “ . . . certain outdated traditions at the univer sity.” I, too, have long been a fan of the Texas Aggies and when I transferred here for the spring semester I looked forward to at tending some home-court sports contests. When I heard the phrase “poor Aggies” I never took it for anything more than the truth. When we lost I was indeed a very “poor Aggie” and proud to be one! I am not and hope never to be only a “fair weather” Aggie! Mr. Stanfield refers to the UT players and fans being “insulted the whole time.” I never once saw any fan or player insulted at the game or afterwards. If in deed any were it wasn’t a school activity and was the act of a “few.” Mr. Stanfield refers to his dis like of the use of the yell “beat the hell out of TU, especially aft er Texas had pretty clearly lost the game. . .” If my memory doesn’t fail me the final score was 65-64 for over the final min ute. It was far from clear to me that Texas had lost the game! 2:30 3 (5) Edge of Night 15 (12) Sesame Street (PBS) (Repeat of Thursday) 3:00 3 (5) Corner Pyle 3:30 3 (5) Town Talk 15 (12) University Instructional 4:00 3 (5) That Girl 4:30 3 (5) Bewitched 15 (12) What’s New (NET) 5:00 3 (5) General Hospital 15 (12) Misterogers’ Neighborhood (NET) 5:30 3 (5) CBS News 15 (12) Sesame Street (PBS) 6:00 6:30 7:00 7:30 8:00 8:30 9:00 10:00 10:30 11:30 3 (5) Evening News 3 (5) Brady Bunch 15 (12) Campus and Com munity Today 3 (5) Nanny and the Pro fessor 15 (12) The Great Ameri can Dream Machine (NET) 3 (5) Andy Griffith Show 3 (5) Movie—The Ghost and Mr. Chicken 15 (12) This Week 15 (12) The Best of the Week 3 (5) Final News 3 (5) Alias Smith and Jones 3 (5) Alfred Hitchcock Bingo—Weekdays at 5, BCS*TV/9. Nothing to buy. You need not be present to win. In his reference to the lack of vocabulary of Texas A&M I as sume he is speaking for himself and perhaps he would like to change the yell to “Go Aggies, Love The Longhorns!” Certainly bad sportsmanship. has no place in any school or elsewhere. I do not condone bad sportsmanship, and I think the disruptance of “enemy” free throws is poor taste for anyone. But let’s face two very important facts: 1) When we lose we are “poor Aggies,” and 2) I still say “beat the hell out of TU!!” Jim Mardis ’72 ★ ★ ★ Editor: The board of directors recently expressed its arbitrariness by re fusing to provide dormitory space for women students next fall. Some students planned a rally to give the appearance of opposing this decision. They have made it quite evi dent, however, that the “rally” was not designed to accomplish anything. Rather they ensured that it would not pose a threat by being effective. Now the rally has been can celled, at the plea of Kent Caper- ton. This was presumably to avoid controversy over housing for women on campus. We’re sup posed to believe that the admin istration will simply reconsider and make the correct decision, as long as the students keep quiet and inactive. In any case the stu dents must do nothing, but sim ply be good Aggies and trust their “leaders” to resolve such issues. This is a sellout of student in terests. That the administration and its liberal apologizers resort to such tactics show the failure of their policies. They cannot claim adequate student support, and so must use pacification. The attitudes of the students also have been unjustifiable. The vast majority of the male students who would live on campus. A few try to view the issue as the con cern of male students also because of the possibility that more will be allowed to live off campus. The issue should be the concern of all students because it is just and will be an improvement for those concerned. It will also lead to a weakening of the arbitrari ness and anti-student activities of the administration. The encour agement of sectarianism and re liance on liberal misleaders harms all students. Change is possible, but to occur it must have its basis in the pres ent, and come from the masses. I. W. Lewis ★ ★ ★ Editor: I am a junior in aerospace engi neering, and 20 years of age.

He actually suffers from the mental realization that his portrait is a grotesque figure com plete with the blood of one of his four victims. As a means of escape he finally takes his own life, to become what the portrait portrays. The scenery is by far the most outstanding point of the movie. The interior surroundings of the various homes are well done in antique contemporary and Dorian is a regular fashion show. One of A&M’s social highlights of the year—the Cotton Pageant and Ball—is set for April 3. The 37th annual event, which honors King Cotton as the state’s major cash crop, will begin with the pageant in the Bryan Civic Auditorium. A ball will follow in the Memorial Student Center. John Porter of Terrell, social secretary of the sponsoring Stu dent Agronomy Society, said pro ceeds from the pageant and ball are used to finance an agricul tural tour of the state for junior and senior agronomy majors.
