Movie Review
Strangelove' Laughs Terrifying
by Paul Jensen
Surely there Is no doubt that
Stanley Kubrick is one of today's
most original film directors.
This originality lies not in his
competent but undistinguished visual
style, but in his ability to direct
actors and develop plots on several
levels.
His last film, Lolito, was advertised as a tragic love story about a
pathetically warped human being,
and this is how the film appeared
on the surface.
But Kubrick managed, through
the actors and his presentation of
the scenes, to make it also a satire
on literary and filmic cliches.
Dr. Strangelove
Now, his Dr. Strangelove: or How
I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love
the Bomb, is being presented as a
wildly hilarious satire on humanity
and government. This it is, but it
also may be the most serious pessimistic comedy yet made, for behind it lie some fearful ideas.
The things it makes funny, such
as mental and physical cripples
and self-annihiliation, are really
quite terrifying. The question may
arise whether these tilings should
be funny; nonetheless, in this case,
they unarguably are.
The satire so often passes into
burlesque that the film at times
becomes definitely farcical. It is
also quite a suspenseful thriller,
particularly in the later scenes
aboard Major King Kong's bomber,
There are three major scenes
of action — the bomber, Burpelson
Air Force Base, the Pentagon War
Room — and their details all seem
realistically reproduced.
The other scenes, linking these
three, are often awkward, and the
transitions between them are abrupt.
Indeed, the entire film seems to
have been hastily edited together.
The attack on the A. F, Base
presents an ironic sign ("Peace
is our Profession") to the point
of redundancy, and a bobbing, weaving hand-held camera is used excessively.
Slow Pace
The film's pace is a bit slow in
developing, and most of .he scenes
in the bomber are sufficiently
straight that they contribute little
to the comedy, but much the suspense.
Slim Pickens as the Texas pilot,
a role that Peter Sellers was to
have played, is an average-sol^ertype whose mind fails to grasp the
consequences of what is happening, and so assures his crew they'll
all be in line for promotion "after
this thing is over."
At the base, Sterling Hayden
makes Gen. Jack D. Ripper's theories on fluoridation and our natural
bodily fluid funny, by not portraying him as an utter maniac. He
clearly believes in what lie has
done — he has ordered a squadron
to attack Russia.
Peter Sellers plays Lionel Mandrake, a nervous British officer
ASP
who tries to obtain the secret recall code from the General.
War Room Tops
The scenes at the base are good,
but those in the War Room surpass
them. Hilarious are the clashes
between the inert President (Sellers)
and the childishly irresponsible Gen.
"Buck" Turgidson (George C.
Scott).
By now the plans, put into operation through a failure of "the human
element" (Ripper), have become so
entangled in the safeguards built
into our nuclear deterrents that the
planes cannot be recalled.
Russia, too, is hopelessly entangled in the barbed-wire of safety
with its Doomsday Machine set to
explode automatically if the country
is bombed.
Also at the conference is Dr.
Strangelove (Sellers), a "converted" German scic.itist who calls
the President "Mein Feuhrer" and
is almost strangled by his own
mechanical hand.
Sellers Excellent
Pickens is adequate and Hayden
surprisingly good, and both play
their roles fairly straight. Sellers
is excellent in three very different
characters, foi be is a genius at
playing a role straight while retaming its comic aspects.
Except for Sellers' brilliantly,
chillingly, hilarious portrait of
Strangelove, however, George C.
Scott -vill have to be credited with
stealing the show. His style is
broad, and he is in constant motion, facially and/or bodily,
But while his mugging might have
clashed witli the comparative underplaying of the rest of the cast, it
here fits his character of an enthusiastic, gum-chewing, Americafirst "hoy." It does so beautifully.
"Brilliant"
Picture
It also may lie thought that the
unusual mixture of suspense, pessimism and comedy weakens the
film. In reality, it gives it more
stature by making it more than
just a "comedy."
Like Lolita,
it cannot be classified other than
in the uncertain category of " b r i l liant."

Selsam Book Excellent Introduction
To Marxist Philosophy,
History
by Alex D e l f i n i
Howard Selsam has two major
points to make in his Marxist oriented book, What is Philosophy.
First, he claims that philosophy,
rather than being a disinterested
quest for truth, is usually, in effect, a defense ol certain social
and economic ideals of a specific
portion of a society. Second, Selsam contends that Mai xism is presently the most advanced and realistic expression of die aspirations of
the majorit) of mankind.
The first position taken by Selsam
Is that philosophy is Ideology. Selsam believes that all philosophical
movements i an he traced to certain
social conflicts within a specific
historical epoch,
Foi instance,
throughout history all idealistic
philosophy lias been an endorsement of existing institutions which
control the means of production,
On the other band, advocates of
materialism have come from those
segments of society who were inspiring to gain control of tin; means
ol production. Thus, idealism has
been die philosophy of those in
powei , and materialism the philosophy of those seeking power,
Basic Differences
The autlioi goes on to i unsidei
the basic diflei mil es between idealism anl materialism. Idealism
Is not inteii >ted in the phenomena
lit flu: and locating the fixed and
eiej toil evsoiit ut> of the cosmos,
Since the u s e ol (•hrisliaiilty, idealism has neen most foicefully defeti'ie l i . i 1,1 isuan theologians who

the nation of an immutable ami perfect being — God. In either case,
the emphasis on permanence by
the idealists has made them the
champions of existing social Institutions.
Traditionally the champions of
progress have been Hie materialists. Materialists place their faith
in the efficacy ol sense experience
ami deal with the world as it appears lo them.
Materialists believe ihat the ultimate structure
of the world is bused on inaltei
in motion; they also place then
ultimate faith in die scientific method,
Overexrendod Argument
Unfortunately, Selsam ovei extends Ins argument when he classifies modern analytic philosophy undei idealism. He justifies this by
claiming that analytic philosophy
has denied the existence of the n a terial world by speaking onl' in
terms of sense daia.
It sc m.s
thai Selsam has missed the I aslc
point of anal', tic philosophy by not
i ei ogiii/ing die i e a sons lor die leflisal to use such terms as "mallei " and "reality.''
Salsam's second nujoi position
is that Marxism is ihe most vibrant

Salvatore Cascio Art Presentation
Shows Painter's Distinct Moods
by Karen Goldstein
I would greatly suggest the Salvatore Cascio show,
currently at the Albany Institute of History and Art,
to anyone wishing to examine what seems to be the work
of two distinct painters.
Upon reviewing the show, I felt my moods and impressions rotate from muted, "mud-luscious," almost
traditional water colors to
vibrant, striking, abstract
oils and back to the former.
The viewer must possess a sense
of visual schizophrenia in order
to draw any conclusions regarding
Casein's single style or lack of any.
Traditional Subject Matter
Most representative of the traditional subject-matter water color
are "Maine Coast," ''Provincetown," and "Maine Harbor."
Cascio appears to he preoccupied
with bits of John Marin's broad
brush stroke technique, his unfinished canvas corners, arid his appetite for blues and browns, as
shown in the above-mentioned paintings.
Cascio's approach to the popular
and scenic New England coastline
is refreshing because he manages
to keep the viewer's eyes shifting
over many centers of interest. His
dramatic rendering of "Provincetown" placed iiie inside the onrushing storm cloud. This intense
serenity before the storm was very
cleverly created with fierce blues
and blacks.
C o n t r a s t s in Rhythm
Two paintings, "Globe Theatre,"
and "Piazza." remained m my mind
as horrifying examples of poorlycolored photographs from a Chamber of Commerce circular. "Globe
Theatre" appears to be Times
Square as seen through the bleary
eyes of a veteran of its streets.
It lacks the rhythm and excitement
this area usually echoes.
If "Piazza" had a Santa Claus
driving a sled across its murky
sky, tins would yield a typical holiday-season greeting card.
"Kathleen's
Bedroom" overpowered the previous two without
much difficulty.
Slightly reminiscent of Andrew Wyeth's return
to reality paintings, "Kathleen's
Bedroom" bad a mystical stillness
about it. The soft rhythms of the
furniture and draperies formed a
very pleasing effect. The open window left the viewer desiring to see
more of this type of painting.
Really Return?
)
Alba
A L B A N Y 3 , N E W YORK
The show cannot be judged in its
entirety because of the opposing
natures of its content. Each side
of the two Cascios has some material that is well-rendered; these
paintings could easily lie filtered
out for exhibition on a small wall
and still have enough space for a
window.
The show continues through April

announced Sunday radically

These changes are in accordance with the Budget
Procedures Bill passed by
Senate last semester.
The blaring use of bright colors
and a poor interpretation of Kline's
Japanese-influenced black stroke
characterizes much of Casein's abstracts. Outside of his very efficient utilization of a shocking palette, Cascio has not been very
imaginative.
General disappointment was the
end result of viewing some ol his
abstracts and was confirmed after
seeing the overpriced and oversized "Adirondack Region."
The use of color to produce interest is undoubtedly the highlight
of the painting , even though it seems

Marxism as a philosophy is the
product of tins particular force in
history , and within this epic represents the most advanced expression of human aspirations. Thus
the author's analysis seems to include Maixisni in the historical
process and reduces it lo an ideology. However, this analysis leads
to a logical conti adlciion.

All organizations have been divided into one of the four classification of Communications, Culture,
Recreation, and Government. The
Cabinet Commissioners in each of
these four fields will be responsible
for initially compiling budgets of
organizations under their jurisdiction.
Marilyn Brown '60 is Commissioner of Culture and William Bate
'G6 is Commissioner of Recreation.
No appointments have been made for
Communications or Government.
At tomorrow's meeting the Commissioners will outline thenewprocedures. Next Saturday all organizations will have to submit proposed
budgets to the Commissioners.
Tentative Ceilings
Tentative ceilings will be placed
on each of the classifications prior
to this meeting. These ceilings will
be based on an estimation of next
year's Student Tax.
The tentative Student Tax figure
in turn will be based on projected
enrollment, on last year's budget
(and additional appropriations), and
projected figures for the coming
fiscal year.
These figures will be formulated
today in a meeting between Ferrari
and Dr. David Hartley, Dean of
Students.
At next Saturday's meeting the
president and treasurer of each
group will supply copies of their
proposed budget to the Cabinet Commissioner and the representatives
of the other organizations in the
classification.
Each budget will be discussed
and voted on separately.
Each
person in attendance, including the
members of the individual groups,
will have one vote.

After passed on the Cabinet level,
the budgets will then lie reviewed
by Ferrari, Johnston, and SA Vice
President Al Smith before being
presented for Senate's consideration.
Budget Committee, a sub-committee of Finance Committee, will
begin conducting open hearings on
the budget by April 22. Hearings
will hopefully be completed in a
two week period so that the final
budget can be submitted for Senate's
approval on either May 6 or 13.

Lockers have recently been Installed by the entrance of the State

reduce the small amount of pilfering
which now occurs in the facility.
According to Robert Bell, Manager of the Bookstore, about three
thousand dollars in merchandise
is stolen annually. This is approximately one percent of the total gross
sales.
Mr. Bell said that most of the
stealing that has gone on is not
done by people who steal just for
the sake of stealing, but rather
by people who need something badly
and do not have the money to pay
for it, do it for a kick or on a'

There are also a small number
of disturbed people who have a
compulsion to steal and do not
know what they are doing.

are better appearing than the wooden

Diversity Unity
"An opportunity for sharing ideas and ideals — A
New Perspectiveforthe Future." This statement
served as theme for the recently concluded Student
Government Conference here at State, and it may have
made a point of significance to the entire University.
The result of much labor and excellent planning by
a student-faculty steering committee, the conference
focused its collective attention to the formulation of
a philosophy of student government — its function and
purpose. However, the ideas and attitudes which evolved
out of this three-day assemblage transcend student government and, in fact, are of vital import to the entire
University community.
The tone was set when Dr. Butler, Dean of Students
at Ohio University and guest authority to the conference,
stated in his keynote address that "there must be a
constant exchange of ideas and opinions, a dialogue,
among students, faculty, and administration; the whole
University community."
This "dialogue" remained a integral part of the
conference, both in word and in practice, and after
three days of discussion were past, the 32 students and
15 faculty delegates seemed dedicated to its continuance. Never, in recent years, had such a thing been
tried; never had so much been accomplished in the
realm of intra-university communication.
President Collins, in his summary address, pointed

ALBANY STUDENT PRESS
We commend the Student Personnel Office on the
procedure it has set up for choosing residence for the
next year. While we foresee the inevitable and interminable lines, we feel that the method offers the fairest
possible chance to each studenttolive where and with
whom he desires.
The procedure also takes a great deal of work away
from the administrative offices and places the task
of making arrangements on the students. This is as it
should be in a University increasing as rapidly in
size as ours now is.
Under this method students will know immediately
what dorm, room, and roommates they will have for
the next semester. They will no longer have to wait for
weeks while the Housing Office sorts out and matches
up the preferences of some 2,000 students.
We are somewhat disturbed with the provisions governing off-campus housing. We had understood that
those persons now off-campus would be allowedtoremain off-campus. However, the policy seems to imply
that a limited number of off-campus accommodations
will be given on the same number basis. We hope the
confusion will be cleared up in the near future, and we
trust that the University will holdtoits original
promise.

The ASP recently received a

Dear Foster Mothers,
My father, mother, brother and I greet
you wishing you happiness. I want to give
you my thanks for the help you give me
with your donations giving me facilities
to dress, study and have proper food.
I am in my first year at school and I
like it very much; I am grateful to the
Plan for the donations I receive so I can
improve my economical situation.
Thank you too for the $80.00 pesos
with which I bought all the necessary
school supplies and some better food.
I am very grateful for your kindness;
as I can't write yet, my mother is doing
it for me until I can do it myself.
Affectionately,

Dr. Collins Describes Unique Aspects of University Community in Summary Address at Student Goverment Conference
Editor'• Not*) Printed below or* excerpts from the summary address by
President Collins and the keynote speech by Ohio University's Dean
William Butler which were given at the recent Student Government Conference.
We feel that these speeches contain much of value and interest to
the entire University, and regret that due to the limitation* of space, we
are unable to print the entire text of both speeches.
One is the idea that the University is a community
characterized by the method of intellectual inquiry o r
by the pursuit of Truth. Call it what you will - it has
a nobler ring if you say it one way, than the other, but
we have talked enough about it in various ways in the last
two days to make clear what it is that we mean.
It means that we believe that method of free inquiry,
if it's sincerely and systematically pursued, will develop reasonable answers. This idea goes back to Dean
Hartley's original presentation. The idea of the University involves the use of Reason, the search for
Truth.
"The University," you remember he said, " i s dedicated to the use of Reason and The Scientific Method
in its honest arrangements of its various elements in its
search for Truth." The whole procedure of this conference, I would observe, illustrates the belief in this
method!
There's a second idea that has come increasingly out
of the reports of this afternoon.
This is the idea that this is a community - that there
is a kind of unity - that this is an identifiable group —
a University.
And as we talked about 'dialogue' and
about communication, it was all based on the idea that
there is indeed an identifiable community with interests
that are common, with memberships that are reciprocal.
The University is a "totality." Groups of people,
shifting in membership, belonging to different groups
at different times of the same day, are all mutually inter-dependent; and because they are mutually inter-dependent, they are concerned, all of them, to participate
in all of the affairs of the community, which is the University.
The third idea that has emerged from discussion so
far is that the community is a different kind of society,
that it has distinctive differences that we can identify.
Yesterday we specified the ways in which it was unique.
It was interesting to me that we specified the ways in
which it was unique without really going back and ex-
Pat C e r r a ' s opening remarks talked about " d i s c e r n ing our basic philosophy," and repeatedly, it seemed to
me in the discussion of yesterday, we were driven back
to our need to define, to express, to spell out the things
we really believe and have been observing — not necessarily to change them, but simply in order to be clear
about where we stand.
I think all of us have recognized that much of this meeting has been directed to meeting that particular need.
We can't solve tomorrow's problems with today's ans w e r s , and certainly not with yesterday's answers. So
there is the more need to know really what we believe,
understand our convictions, to be clear as to the simple
things, the obvious things. I think there were three important ideas we were talking about in these feed-back
sessions, ideas that we all acknowledge but that were not
clearly recognized before.
President Collin* stresses the uniqueness of the University community
his summary address.
in
amining the fact that we all accepted without question
the idea that it was indeed unique. But so it is. And
some of the ways that we specified make that perfectly
clear. It is indeed a voluntary society, a voluntary s o ciety not alone because we choose to enter it, and
choose to stay in it but because, I think, of something
more fundamental.
Because it is based on the idea
of being a society for learning, and nobody can compel
anybody to learn.
We recognize in addition that the institution's society
is transitory. That it's homogeneous with respect to
age — on a bi-model bas'jl, I t tsten to add — with r e spect to intelligence, with respect to commitment to
certain important principles.
* * * * * * * * * * *
* * > ( ( * * * * * * * *
What about the implications and the applications of
these three principles which seem to me to be those
that emerged from those discussions?
First, l e t ' s
look at this characteristic of a dedication to the methods
of inquiry, to the pursuit of Truth as a way to solve our
problems.
This has implications ii all fields, and I'm sure we'll
keep coming back to it '"•cause it's a very important
point of reference. It rue ans we believe, fundamentally,
in the freedom to inquire.
It means that to repn ss inquiry or the responsible
expression of ideas sub v|)is C-r very purpose as an
intellectual community.
But, it also means that w, accept the responsibility
when we claim that freedom. When the facts are available we will not accept i pinion. We hold ourselves
ready to stand a challenge on the logic of our p r o g r e s sion in an argument. To ipply it in specific fields, it
means, for example, witli espect to editorial comment
and reporting that we runs preserve freedom to c r i t i cize.
To repress that kind of criticism,
subverts
our purpose as an intellectual community.
But if this is the source of the freedom that we calim,
then the criticism itself must partake of the quality of
the intellectual community if it is to retain that freedom.
This doesn't mean that the criticism has to be of the
Pollyanna sort or only in approved a r e a s .
But it means that it has to be in good taste, it has to be
based on the relative facts, it means it has to attempt to
be thoughtful. It means its motivations have to be congruent with those of the higher learning. Those a r e the
restrictions that we impose unon ourselves.
Let's look at the second characteristic — our sense of
community, our sense of unity, our sense that our intere s t s are common — that the University is, indeed, a
totality made up of groups of people shifting in membership and mutually independent and therefore concerned
to participate in the affairs of the community.
We do have a chance to withdraw to some extent from
everyday concerns to take advantage of an opportunity
we'll never again have — really to find out what we believe and to mature those beliefs so they can be usable
to us the rest of our lives.
And yet, we are at the same time, related to the outside community. We have to acknowledge these outside
p r e s s u r e s . We have to acknowledge that the whole community is the organ of the larger society.
Academic and intellectual life of the community is not
separable from the emotional and other aspects of the
same man's life. There can be no sharp separation of
a man's intellectual life from his moral and emotional
life. So the question becomes, and we haven't answered
it, what standards do we set for our own community?
Do we stand for something? What is it that we stand
for? These are questions that the group hasn't addressed
itself to yet. But I would point out that the clear implication of our statement that we are indeed a community is
that we should answer some of these questions.
The thfrd idea is the conviction that our community is,
indeed, a different kind of society. We have long lists now
of the unique attributes of this society and the whole idea

:
Students a r e more involved in o v e r s e a s p r o g r a m s than ever before and there a r e more than 60,000
foreign students today studying on college campuses in Die U.S.A. Our students have a better
understanding of social i s s u e s , of international problems, and I feel there is greater awareness
in the student of today.
b. I mentioned that there i s an i n c r e a s e in aggressiveness on the part of our students in e x pressing their opinions, student government officers will not be content to be quiet during the
next five y e a r s . Campus l e a d e r s feel that " t h e wheel that squeeks the loudest gets the g r e a s e . "
They see this same philosophy at work in the state and national political groups and they will begin
to apply this same philosophy on the college campus. Actually, it is our duty to help our students
express their views in an acceptable and responsible manner.
c. There is a trend today on the part of college students to challenge all authority. A student
will ask the question "Who s a y s s o ? " It is our responsibility to help make students a part of the
authority rather than to watch them fight against it. This year, President Alden at Ohio University has appointed over 50 students to standing university committees.
d. It is true that higher education is in the public spotlight today more so than ever before.
We have witnessed this trend in the State of Ohio in recent months. In addition, one sees more in
print today in magazines and p e r i o d i c a l s dealing witli issues in higher education.

is what we will be doing within the c l a s s r o o m . The fact that at Ohio University we will have sixty
per cent of all our students living in d o r m i t o r i e s next year places a special responsibility on the
student personnel staff to develope a fine residence halls program which will be concerned with
something more than the m e r e housing of students.
What Then are Some Recommendations for Consideration?
l>
V
1. Each of us, personnel deans, faculty members and student leaders must help our students
achieve an optimum balance between authority on the one hand and freedom on the other. The
students are requesting that we do so. We must be willing to give our students more responsibility
•or their own actions. How much freedom we giant and how much authority we give oui students
will be dependent in part upon the educational objectives and philosophy of your university.
-• We must seek ways to decentralize as much as possible all functions within ilie student |<eisonnel program. Every person in (he program must lie professionally skilled and willing (o a s sume responsibility for a certain part of the program. The area ol responsibility delegated to an
administrator or a student leadel must be handled in an eflerlive and an efliclenl manner. It is
no longer possible for one person to make all of the iiiipoiiunl decisions of the university.
3. It Is equally important thai oui students be made to leel a teal part ol the overall educate _.l program. The fact that last yeai ovei 50 students id Ohio University have been and a r e now
silting on standing university committees repi esents an imp,,nam step lorward. We all should
continue to find ways to involve oui student leaders in the decision-making process of our Universities.
4. We must re-examine oui procedures loi ,iienting oui new students. We inusl reconsider

It is our responsibility to help the student interpret ihe information which he is geltlng and, in
a very real sense, keep one jump ahead ol him. In oui age id lasl communication we cannot piotect

ludtiy, then our students, our c r i t i c s , and die demands which a r e placed upon us will certainly
that we've really been discussing here makes clear that
we mink i's a different kind of society.
The whole idea of discussion, the whole idea of " d i a logue" assumes good faith on thepartofthe other fellow.
It assumes that he is a reasonable man. All these a s sumptions are essential because otherwise we really
can't assume that truth is going to prevail.
In the same way, our assertions about the inter-dependence and the involvement of everybody in this peculiar
kind of society that we have means that must indeed be
in continual consultation on all matters.
And, it's for this reason, as we've indicated that
there needs to be representation; people who are having
the experience and who are in a position to comment on
it have valuable information to give. This is the right
of consultation. This is essentially a characteristic of
this society of ours.
Not the right to make decisions, not the right to tell
the president what his decision should be, but the opportunity to influence decisions at every point by cogent,
compelling, valid arguments.
We must provide more and more opportunities for this.
This is the idea that points the way to the future.
Ohio University's Dean Butler made the keynote address at the
recent
Student Government Conference.
defeat our effectiveness as administrators and educators.
Finally,
in the area of student government I would like to make the following observations:
1. Examine your program from a functional point of view rather than a structural point of
view. Too often our students become boggded down with procedure and s t r u c t u r e , and therefore,
they forget about function. Ask yourselves, what do we hope to accomplish this year? For what
purpose do you exist? What are your expectations? Unless your organization is meaningful to
students, you will only try to keep alive a dead organization.
2. Student Government, in my opinion, isnot apolitical organization for the purpose of grooming
young people interested in politics, parliamentary procedure, serving as a p r e s s u r e group and
the like. P e r h a p s , even, Roberts Rules of Order a r e obsolete.
3. Unfortunately student government officers come and go each year. There is rapid turnover
of leadership which makes it almost impossible for student l e a d e r s to keep up with the current
i s s u e s on today's campus. At one time, I am told, the University of California's student body ran
all of student affairs on campus. Today's " M u l t i v e r s i t y " as President Clark Kerr calls it, Is
much too complex for student government to be deciding who shall be the next football coach and
the like.
4. Another observation which comes largely from faculty is that student government has been
long overrated. Serious students today are not interested in a big side show. They want to do
something important. Their aspirations a r e high. They recognize and feel the s t r e s s and strain of
academic life.
College life today i s much more difficult that it was when I was in college in the late 1940's.
Thus, the adding of more complexities to college life through weak student government organizations may be hindering the student. Briefly stated, I lielieve that student government should be
p r i m a r i l y concerned with providing services which will promote the learning and development of
the student, so that the university's objectives a r e attainable.
5. I know that today's college student lias already experienced some type of student government
in high school. On our own campus we conduct s u m m e r workshops for student council leaders
from all over the State of Ohio. By the time they reach my campus or yours, they have had their
fill af " s e l f - g o v e r n m e n t . " Usually the high school experience leaves a bad taste in their mouths
because cf the over organization In high school.
(3. You may wish to ask at this point, how then, do we make student government into a functional
program and deal with the current campus and world issues. I submit to you the following for consideration:
a. Organize a student-faculty-administrative review committee to:
1. Consider new and fresh ideas for student government
2. Subinil recommendations to the Dean of Student's office for the solution of student
government problems.

This is the first in a scries of 48 million columns examining the
careers of men who have significantly altered the world we live
in. We begin today with Max Planck.
Max Planck (or The Pearl of the Pacific, us lie is often
called) gave to modern physics the law known as Planck's
Constant. Many people when they first hear of this law, throw
up their hands and exclaim, "Golly whiskers, this is too deep
for little old me!"
(Incidentally, speaking of whiskers, I cannot help but mention Personna Stainless Steei Razor Blades. Pcrsonna is the
hlade for people who can't shave after every meal. It shaves
you closely, cleanly, and more frequently than any other
stainless steel hlade on the market. The makers of Personna
have publicly declared —and do hero repeat—that if Personna
Blades don't give you more luxury shaves than any other
stainless steel blade, they will buy you whatever blade you
think is better. Could anything be more fair? I, for one, think
not.)
wmifoati
WL{ HO indication.
But I digress. We were speaking of Planck's Constant, which
is not, as many think, difficult to understand. It simply states
that matter sometimes behaves like waves, and waves sometimes behave like matter. To give you a homely illustration,
pick up your pencil and wave it. Your pencil, you will surely
agree, is matter yet look at the little rascal wave! Or take
flags. (Ir Ann-Margret.
Planck's Constant, uncomplicated a- il is, nevertheless provided science with the key that unlocked the atom, made space
travel possible, and conquered denture -lippage. Honors were
heaped upon Mr. Planck (or The City of Brotherly Love, as
he is familiarly known as). He was awarded the Nobel Pri/.e,
the Little Brown .lug, and Disneyland. But the honor that
pleased Mr. Planck most was that plankton were named alter
him.
Plankton, as we know, are the floating colonies of one-celled
animals on which fishes feed. Plankton, in their turn, feed
upon one-half celled animals called krill (named, incidentally,
after Dr. Morris Krill who invented the house cat). Krill, in
their turn, feed upon peanut butter sandwiches mostly or,
when they are in season, cheeseburgers.
But I digress. Bark to Max Planck who, it must be said,
showed no indication of his scientific genius as a youngster.
In fact, for the first six years of his life he did not speak at all
except to pound his spoon on his bowl and shout "More gruel!"
Imagine, then, the surprise of his parents when on his seventh
birthday little Max suddenly cried, "Papa ! Mania ' Something
is wrong with the Second Law of Thermodynamics!" So astonished were the elder Planeks that they rushed out and dug the
Kiel Canal.
Meanwhile Max, constructing a crude Petrie dish out of two
small pieces of petrie and his gruel bowl, began to experiment
with thermodynamics. By dinner tune he had discovered
Planck's Constant. Hungry but happy, he rushed to Heidelberg
Iniversity to announce his findings. He arrived, unfortunately,
during the Krich von Stroheim Sesi|uiecntennial, anil everyone
was so busy dancing and duelling that young Planck could find
nobody to listen to him. The festival, however, ended alter
two years and Planck was finally able to report his discovery.

and extreme, but like his character,
Camus, in a less extreme manner,
is an especially conscious stylist.
He wrote seven versions of The
Fall and numerous versions of his
other works.
The Notebooks provide the reader
with an opportunity tocompaie the
imagery and idea of many early
fragments with the final versions in
the early novels.
It must be noted, however, that
many of the short observations of
Algerian life and the recordings of
actual conversation are incorporated into the novels without any
significant change.
C o n t r a c t to P a v e s e
It is interesting to contrast the
diaries of Cesare Pavese with the
Notebooks of Camus. Like Camus,
Pavese began writing his diary in
1935 and continued to keep a diary
until his death.
In many respects, both writers
have much in common. Both were
influenced by some of the same
writers; both had early, unhappy
love affairs, and both flirted with
the Communist movement.
Whereas Camus' diary does not
even mention the two latter points,
Pavese's journal is a deep penetration into the black abyss of prolonged introspection.

by Roberta T r e n k n e n
But, on the whole, this section is
very good, and could have been even
better had it been released by itself
as a two-and-a-quarter-hour film,
The same would probably be true if
the second half had oeen released
in a separate, expanded form.
In its present condition, the picture seems to fall apart after the
intermission. It may be that no one
was sure about Antony's part, but
then again it may only appear that
way because of the cutting and
elimination.
Although, except for an occasional
line, the wit disappears, this is
all right because four hours of wit
tends to get tedious. However, there
seems to have been nothing with
which to replace It.
Burton Boring
Burton wanders about, boozing
and expounding about very little of
consequence, As lie flirts with Cleo
and fluctuates back and forth between
liking her and not wanting to go
along with her, it gets, I'm afraid,
quite boring.
This felony is compounded by the
editing — ilie setting jumps from
home to Egypt to Athens (even!)
without warning and the only way
to tell where we are is to listen
until someone says, "Well, here
we are in Rome."
Poor E d i t i n g
Indeed, the main problem here
seems to be the editing, for there
are some good lines, some very effective directorial touches, some
very good shots and even some exciting scenes in this nonetheless
generally boring hour and a quarter.
Examples are Antony hiding in
the shadows as Octavian's men talk
to Cleopatra; the sea battle, which
does what Ben HUT'S didn't, thanks
to good director and real ships;
and Cleo standing alone on a large
white area that fills the screen.
Burton expounds, as if to cover
up the fact that no one really knows
what's going on. His beautiful voice,
remarkable though it is, is not sufficient to mask the vacuity of much
of the dialogue, This entire part of
the film Is haphazard and uncertain.
The last forty-five minutes do
perk up, however, and give cause to
speculate on the quality it could have
had if released on its own, with
more and tighter scenes.
As Antony finally takes himself in
hand, discovers his soldiers are
gone, and rides out against Octavian's troops alone, some emotion,
feeling and excitement are once
again generated. And, despite some
jumpy continuity in the later death
scene, again due to cutting I suppose, this last part is pretty good.
The photography is nice, the sets
are exceptionally grand and the direction is often good but, for a good
part of the picture, the drama has

Other men up from the freshman

Budget will be limited to a ceiling
of $91,000 next year. These figures
were announced by Arthur F e r r a r i
'66, Commissioner of Finance, at
the initial meeting of Cabinet Ministers and the heads of budgetary
organizations last Friday.
The Communications on campus
will be limited to a total of $39,700
in the 1964-65 budget. Culture r e ceived a ceiling of $24,600.
Organizations under Recreation
and Government will lie limited to
totals of $19,700 and $7,000 r e s pectively.
Commissioner F e r r a r i felt that
these figures are a satisfactory
solution to the problem of budgeting.
"On the one hand, the organizations honestly want to grow. On
the other, we have to watch the
student's pocket books. I think these
figures draw the line pretty well."
The budgetary organizations in
each classification will be required
to stay within the ceilings set for
their classifications.
The heads of these organizations
will meet tomorrow to present their
proposed budgets to their respective
Cabinet Commisioners. This will
be the first step in obtaining final
Senate approval of next year's proposed budget.
