Manthan is a story of change. It captures the turbu
lence created by an outside force in the orthodox
society of a poor Indian village. The outside force is a
young urban group headed by a veterinary doctor, with
a mission to help start a milk cooperative in the village.
The film spans a confrontation of social values, roles,
and vested interests.
HONORS AND AWARDS:
Best Hindi film of the year (1978)
India’s official entry for Oscar Awards (1978)
Invited to: London Film Festival, Los Angeles Film

International Film Guide (1979) named MANTHAN one
of the Ten Best Films of the World; and named SHYAM
SENEGAL one of the five Directors of the Year.
Power Co. told the Nuclear Reg
ulatory Commission Tuesday of
the Dec. 1 work slowdown, saying
it would last about six months until
a new contractor takes over the
job, HL&P spokesman Don Beeth
said.
Beeth said there would be addi
tional layoffs next month at the
$4.8 billion nuclear project. He
said safety-related work is stop
ping, but employees will continue
maintenance work.
Brown & Root withdrew
Wednesday as contractor for the
25-megawatt project because the
company and HL&P could not
agree on what role it would con
tinue to play, Beeth said. HL&P
fired the construction firm in Sep-

Racism may be reason R
for Willie s slow sales
tember as design engineer and
construction manager for the pro
ject but retained it as builder.
Bechtel Power Corp. of Califor
nia, a company with experience in
nuclear projects, was named de
sign engineer and construction
manager.
Charles Bechhoefer, chairman
of a NRC licensing board, said the
board feared a breakdown in qual
ity control because Brown & Root
workers might be preoccupied
looking for new jobs.
“No, they are not going to be
doing any work activities that con

pours, no welding,” Bechhoefer

RAPID CITY, S.D. — Ticket
sales for a Willie Nelson benefit
concert have opened, but the nor
mally sold-out artist isn’t drawing
long lines to the box office. One
promoter attributes this lack of in
terest to racism.
At least one person says the
slow sales may be related to the
fact that Nelson will appear partly
on behalf of the Dakota American
Indian Movement s Yellow Thun
der Camp near Rapid City.
AIM spokesman Bill Means
said he’s distressed by the lack of
response to the concert.
“We knew Rapid City was the
racist capital of the world, ” Means
said. “It’s too bad that people will
let racism and prejudice stand in
the way of having a good time. ”
Several Rapid City radio sta
tions said they have received calls
indicating that the callers plan to
boycott the concert.
Some believe the slow sales
may be related to a controversy
over where the concert’s proceeds
will go.
Spokesmen for the Yellow
Thunder Camp said Nov. 1 that
Nelson would donate money from
the concert to build a school at the
camp. But radio and television ads
promoting the event indicate that
the proceeds will benefit water
development in the state.
Radio sales personnel at KKLS
and KCTA in Rapid City said an ad
was written, placed and autho
rized by Mark Tilson of the Black
Hills Alliance. Although Tilson
was not available for comment,

A report has spurred the Arkan

to study 31 east Arkansas counties
as part of a seven-state assessment
of the potential effects of a severe
earthquake.
“The relief services needed will

agencies such as the Red Cross.

He said the data was turned
over to the U.S. Geological Sur

are located. He said a “loss report
