THE CAPITOLIST
Critic’s
Notebook
WUSA, starring Paul Newman
and Joanne Woodward.
Reviewed by William M. Sloane.
We’ve wondered, all of us, if
Paul Newman has rendered any
memorable bit of acting since his
cameo as a punch-drunk boxer
in Hemingway’s Adventures of a
Young Man. (We all of us doubt
it.)
We also have occasionally
questioned the relative talents of
his semi-homely wife. Our
misgivings are yet unresolved,
though WUSA represents her
strongest effort to date.
Thankfully, at least, the pair
have unstrung the albatross of
Robert Wagner from about their
collective neck; he had been to
them as Regis Philbin had to
Joey Bishop, buckskin shoes and
all.
WUSA is a _
Williams story more likely to
remind its audience of Tennessee
Ernie Ford. Liberal-chic with a
down-home flavor, the movie
represents a completely
self-indulgent effort on the part
of the director (P. Newman) and
his leading lady; stick with me
and I’ll make you a superstar.
Y’all got this hea’ southern
radio station, see, and they got
theirselves a point o’ view, like
Amuric’nusm an’ exposin’ thum
they welfare chislers. They done
signed on this hea’ announcer,
this “communicator” (P.
Newman), and they tells him,
“We like yo’, boy,” says them.
“Yo’ goin’ to go places.”
iseudo-Tennessee
The obvious summation
would be that WUSA is an epic
Failure to Communicate, and
that it goes nowhere; but it tries
so obviously (and successfully)
to be obscure that it creaks at
our joints.
Newman lies in a stupor. Cut.
Newman sits at a microphone
playing disc jockey. Cut. Tony
Perkins photographs the poor
Blacks for his welfare project,
with mournful strings behind
him. Cut to a shot of WUSA’s
broadcast tower and the
booming strains of country and
western. That’s called
symbolism. Heavy stuff. Who
shot the film editor?
Unfortunately Newman is not
convincing as an alcoholic, for
one can seldom tell (as always)
precisely when he’s supposed to
have been drinking. Miss
Woodward may make an
adequate lady of the night, but
one wonders how she is to
subsist on $2O a month. Perkins,
anyway, is well cast as a neurotic
out-patient and probably
required little coaching.
We saw Newman and wife in
Winning at Radio Citv Music
ffUTT complete with the
Rockettes’ matinee; we wish we
had caught this attempt there,
too. The dancing girls almost
made up for the movie.
Rap With Mrs. Dixon
by Roger L. Hawkins
Mrs. O.W. Dixon joined the
faculty of Capitol Campus in
1969. She has taught in the
Philadelphia school system for
twenty years on the elementary
level.
A graduate of West Chester
State Teachers’ College in 1948,
she decided, after teaching for a
number of years, to go for an
M.A. in education. She received
it in 1959.
Mrs. Dixon is a black teacher
who doesn’t mind telling it
where it’s at. She expressed
some discontent with the total
disregard for the education of
blacks in Pennsylvania. She
informed me that she attended
the Black Conference on Higher
Education in which she
discovered that blacks were
considered minute in matters of
education.
Besides the negligence of
black education in Pennsylvania,
Mrs. Dixon also has views about
the educational system of
Capitol Campus.
She feels that most of the
white students majoring in
education have the best interest
of the inner-city schools and
blacks at heart. But they have
been given what Mrs. Dixon
refers to as a “middle-class
brainwashing”. In other words,
what she’s saying is that they
want to understand black
people, but their parents have
brainwashed them in such a way
that their reaction to their
middle-class background hinders
their idealistic good intentions.
In view of this, Mrs. Dixon’s
opinion is that those best suited
to teach the ghetto students are
“those that understand them
best, those that come out of the
ghetto and voluntarily return.”

MRS. DlXON—sharing her views
on education.
Other comments Mrs. Dixon
has, is that there should be open
enrollment at Capitol and other
colleges. She feels that any
student who wants to go to
college should be given the
chance to prove themselves.
Finally, Mrs. Dixon views the
BSU as a better organization to
serve the needs of blacks on
campus.
