Bait Movie Review
‘The Seven Ups’—not too bad
By BRAD ELLIS
It was the best chase scene he
had seen in a long time, and he
and the other members of the
audience were understandably im
pressed by “The Seven Ups.”
This film produced and direct
ed by the man who produced “Bul
litt” and “The French Connec
tion,” Phillip D’Antoni, is the
story of a special, secretly operat
ing unit of the New York City
police department, a four man
team called The Seven Ups. Their
methods are questionably legal
but they get results. They are
unmarked and out of uniform, on
the trail of organized crime in
the big city.
The bad guys pose as cops, kid
nap the gang leaders for ransom,

The big difference in the ‘ Inner Circle” is VALUE
Carefully selected cars. Low mileage. Clean. In top

then let them go. One time a Sev
en Up gets caught as a plant and
gets shot. Twenty-four hours lat
er it’s all over for everyone in
volved. If it’s not the end of the
Seven Ups, it should be.
This it not a pretty movie, or
a pretty story, or a pretty city.
There isn’t a lot of character de
velopment, only enough for the
story. Generically an action/sus
pense movie, the film uses all the
necessary elements adequately.
The cops get mad when their
partner is shot, they hate to have
to tell his wife, they beat on the
walls when the chief tells them to
lay off the case. Of course they
don’t lay off.
Automobiles figure prominently
in the film. It’s not like finding
the right car to crack the case.
The people use cars a lot. They
use them to kill people in, kill
them from, and kill them with.
They use cars as expendable tools;
never does anyone kill a man for
a car.
The chase scene was very care
fully planned. The producer told
me so on a documentary film
about the scene, which I saw on
television a few weeks ago. There
were some accidents during shoot
ing which found their way into
the final film. There was one
scene they could only shoot once.
It came out all right.

RHA concert
Loggins and Messina have been
confirmed as the entertainment
for RHA weekend, says Tim Clad-
er. Town Hall chairman.
Tickets, which will be from $2
to $2.50, will be on sale in the
Rudder Center Box Office the
first week in April.
“Last year Town Hall made a
list of ten groups we particularly
wanted to get,” said Clader.
“Loggins and Messina was one of
them. We’re fortunate to get
them.”
Some of Loggins and Messina’s
better known songs are “Danny’s
Son g,” “Your Mama Don’t
Dance,” and “My Music.”
RHA Weekend, April 19, 20,
and 21, correspond with Aggie
Muster, said Clader. The group
will perform April 20 in G. Rollie
White Coliseum.
Spring degrees
Degree applications must be
made by Feb. 15 by students ex
pecting to graduate this spring,
reminded Registrar Robert A.
Lacey.
He noted the formal degree ap
plication is the responsibility of
the graduating student.
The $6 graduation fee, payable
at the Fiscal Office, is required.
Undergraduate students apply in
Room 7 of the Richard Coke
Building. Graduate student appli
cations are taken in the Graduate
College Office, Room 209.
The fee receipt must be pre
sented to make degree applica
tion.
Graduating students also have
until Feb. 22 to order May gradu
ation announcements. Orders
should be placed in the Finance
Office, Memorial Student Center.
The office in Room 217 is open
Mondays through Fridays from 8
a.m. to 4 p.m.
There are no good guys in this
movie. Anyone who possesses any
redeeming qualities at all has too
many bad ones to make him a
hero. The crooks are criminals,
the Seven Ups violate the crimi
nals’ Constitutional rights, the po
lice lieutenant is weak and inef
fectual, and the police chief is
too bound by his duty to show the
appropriate compassion for the
remains of the team.
You can fault a cop for violat
ing civil rights, and you can fault
him for not getting results. You
can fault him for ignoring the
rules at the wrong times or for
adhering to them at the wrong
times. Or you can fault them for
being cops. If there is a theme to
Sonny Rosso’s story, that has to
be it.
Cinematically there is nothing
wrong with this film. At one point
it is reminicent of a television
show. Television shows tend to
use automobiles a lot, just like
this movie. They like to use the
kind of dialog you don’t have to
listen to to understand. What the
people say is said with their bod
ies and their moves. Their voices
only accent the motion. This movie
has a lot of that. It has a lot of
scenes where the dialog is recog
nizably polite fill, what you say
to your partner to show him you
care as you prepare to leave him
with his head in his hands and go
take your kid to the dentist.
You’re leaving, but you ask him
if he wants you to stay around.
“The Seven Ups” is not offen
sive, not boring, not bad. They
let me watch it at the Cinema I.
German film
“Conference of the Animals,” a
full-length German animated film,
originally set for Tuesday has
been rescheduled for Monday at
7:30 p.m. in Room 145 of the
Physics Building.
Written by German writer and
humorist Erich K a e s t n e r, the
1969 color film takes place at a
world conference of the animals.
Ways and means of insuring unity
and peace among men are dis
cussed at the meeting, but the
military is alerted to these dan
gerous plans and the world states
men agree to not let themselves
be forced, into peace and unity.
The admission-free film is be
ing sponsored by the Modern
Languages Department.
Fireball
A fireball was reported seen
Monday evening in the sky north
east of Bryan and College Sta
tion.
Several persons in Fort Worth
reported viewing the object.
Anyone in Bryan or Cbllege
Station who saw it and can de
scribe the fireball’s position, pre
ferably in relation to stars, is
asked to phone 822-4064 after
5:30 p.m.
Dining room closes
Night operation of the Tower
Dining Room was discontinued
Friday, announced Tom Cherry,
^ice-president, Business Affairs.
The noon buffet will be contin
ued as before.
Cherry cited a lack of evening
clients and increasing interest in
using the facility for catered
events in ending the night serv
ice.
He said the Tower would be
available for special catered
events in the evening through the
Department of Food Services.
Editorship postponed
Selection of the Battalion edi
tor was postponed Tuesday by the
Student Publications Board, said
Jim Lindsey, chairman.
Action has been delayed until
Monday to allow board members
to question Rod Speer, the only
applicant, Lindsey said. Speer is
serving as interim editor.
An increase in rates was ap
proved and advertisement rates
will rise approximately 20 per
cent beginning Sept. 1, according
to Lindsey.
Subscription rates will be in
creased from $6 to $9.50 for two
semesters and from 50 cents to
$1.50 for summer rates. The in
creases are effective June 1. Stu
dents will not be affected by the
subscription price increase, Lind
sey said, because the student
services fee includes funds for
The Battalion.
PROBLEMS?
EuroMed
may otter RX via
overseas traioiog
For the session starting Fall, 1974,
Euromed will assist qualified Amer
ican students in gaining admission
to recognized overseas medical
schools.
And that's just the beginning.
Since the language barrier constitutes
the preponderate difficulty in succeed
ing at a foreign school, the Euromed
program also includes an intensive
12 week medical and conversational
language course, mandatory for all
students. Five hours daily, 5 days per
week (12-16 weeks) the course is
given in the country where the student
will attend medical school.
In addition, Euromed provides stu
dents with a 12 week intensive cul
tural orientation program, with
American students now studying medi
cine in that particular country serving
as counselors.
Senior or graduate students currently
enrolled in an American university are
eligible to participate in the Euromed
program.
