During the past week
we were a ed as to
what we would like the
name of the campus
changed to, if at all.
Limiting the ballot to
just three choices seemed
qt ite restricting. Many
people felt that there
should have been a
space left open for the
name change of their
choice. While many of
them were unprintable,
some were intriguing to
me, and I wondered
how future catalogs
would describe the school
keeping the name of it
in mind.

Movie Review
By Shirley Stevens
For the ultimate in film
viewing, "The Rose" will cer
tainly capture the attention of
everyone. If it's possible that
you haven't heard of this
extravaganza (that word is
awfully trite), "The Rose" is a
loosely assembled chrono
logue of Janis Joplin's frenetic
life as played by Bette Midler.
All I can say is, "Yeah for
Bette Midler."
The theme of this picture
is the drive, the audacity, and
the appeal of a rock star
against the canopy of big time
promoters (Alan Bates) who
must make ruthless business
decisions. Their stars are
commodities who must regur
gitate (if need be) on cue and.
repeatedly, perhaps even
without so much as a change
of clothes or a good night's
sleep.
Amidst this turmoil, the
human spirit behind the glit
ter, the little girl under the
bawdy exterior is looking for
love. One more concert, and
she is going to allow herself
the luxury of shutting the
door on touring and retire to
New Mexico for a year with a

Then why not become a
college educated tractor
trailer driver. That's
right, you can put away
all those boring books for
the thrill of the open
road! For the small fee
of only $300.00 a term
and your first-born male
child, our staff of former
engineering professors will
drill you in every aspect
of truck driving which
will prepare you for the
real world. You'll learn
such things as 1) :
How to speed through
school intersections with
out getting caught, 2) :
How to look and sound
like a redneck, 3) :
How to cut off people on
the turnpike and make it
look like an accident. . .

chauffeur she picked up and
fell in love with (Frederic
Forrest of "Apocalypse Now"
fame).
The concert, incidentally,
is going to be in her home
town, where she plans to wow
'em, where she plans to show
those small town hypocrites
what a STAR she has become,
and somehow erase the sordid
memory and sting of waking
up on the fifty-yard line after
entertaining the school foot
ball team. That long-ago, in
significant event can hardly
be too far beneath the surface
whenever she reaches into
her übiquitous overstuffed
bag for that little amber pint
bottle.
It is by no means easy to
be rich, famous and talented.
By the same token, it is not
easy to love a rich, famous and
talented woman.
The movie is a rocky prog
ression to the climax - the
hometown concert and her
subsequent trip to New Mexi
co. Will she make it to
Florida? Will 'ner love stick by
her through the last stretch?

PSU at OLMSTED -
Nestled in the small foot
hills of Central Pennsyl
vania, far from the con
gestion of cities and ex
citement. as well, PSU
at Olmsted offers you
the serenity necessary
for academic matters.
When all work is done,
one can take a leisurely
stroll into the quiet ham
let of Olmsted , preserv
ed Co this day much the
way it looked when it
was first settled many
years ago. As one passes .
the abandoned store once
known as Joe-The Motor
ist's Friend, one can see
many fine examples of
old American artifacts
such as outlandish gear
shifters and miniature
stereo equipment which
somehow led to the local
legend that one could
love her? Will everything be
set right?
You are made aware in the
first scene that the ending is
not a happy one. If you were a
Janis Joplin fan you know
that much. But before she
dies, she does have a cathartic
experience. The folks back
home pay their respects when
The Rose comes to call.
One can't help but feel that
given the enormous pressure
faced by anyone in that posi
tion, Janis was a pioneer. She
showed women what not to
do. One can only be sympa
thetic toward her own lack of
role models.
As for Bette Midler, what
a breath of fresh air from
Streisand and that cornball
parallel remake, "A Star is
Born"! Let's hope Bette
Midler can retain her origin
ality. She's beautiful up there.
Frederic Forrest and Alan
Bates were stupendous as
well. Whatever it is, they've
got it.
Music was good. Script
was real. I must recommend it
to everyone, but especially to
the Psychosocial Department.
This is right up their alley.

The University of South
Dakota's Presidential Lec

government to the campus to
address themes vital to con
temporary life in America.
The focus of the 1980-1981

"America in the 1980 s."
Dr. Gross says that his
remarks will probably focus
on the need for flexibility in
education in the coming de

how about a quiet ro
