Oxley, Rector Jon Wilkman describes “Pink Flamingos” in the November 1973 issue of “Crawdaddy” as “one of the most gleefully dis gusting movies ever made.” Ac cording to his review, this film is designed to be an exhibition of scenes of murder, rape and a Government well-mixed collection of assorted perversions. It is the story of a competi tion for the title of Filthiest Per son. The winner clinches the title in a scene in which she eats a fresh quantity of dog excrement. There is, Wilkman says, no leer ing or moral outrage associated with the material presented in “Pink Flamingos.” The content of the film is, judging from its subtitle, intentionally in bad taste. This does not necessarily mean it is a bad film. speakers Two officials of the U.S. State Department will be in Rooms 225, 226, and 228 of the MSC at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday. NEW YORK and WASHINGTON.

A movie in bad taste is simply one whose images, when seen in the context of the culture, are those which are not common ly considered the proper, polite things to say, write or see. The full value of the film is the experience associated with the ex hibition of its content, and the reaction of the audience. The film is no good unless it is seen. girl missing for almost a month returned home Wednesday accord ing to College Station Detective Bobby Yeager.

In open session, Don Webb, president of the MSC, asked the Senate for a straw vote on the issue of a censorship board for films shown by MSC committees, Webb said that the MSC executive committee felt that there was a need for a board to insure quality of films, The Senatte voted after a few questions. The vote was 29 against the establishment of such a board ani 24 for it. Many senators voiced discontent because they were not allowed to debate the issue before voting. “I resent Webb coming in and playing semantic games with me,” said Ken Drozd, off-campus senator, “I pride myself in having a command of the language and I know that a ‘qualitative review board’ is still just a censor. The only debate offered was Webb’s side and the vote was really bogus.” THE AGGIE CINEMA presents In new screen splendor, The most magnificent picture ever! DAVID 0.
