No matter ,how careful a . : casting director might be, ha could not be faithful to these impreSsions of thousands , of I readers. The question then arises whether a person should be faithful to a book whether an. actor's creativity should be stifled by a character drawn by the novelist to' be read, not 1 • seen.

PENNSYLVANIA by kay milli ideas about the book "Exodus" when seeing the movie. Books can be successfully cut for the screen without making the ;mockery of a living novel that the movie moguls did in that case. Again, this is strictly me talking. As an example of a mammoth book which flamed faithfully the screen, we need only look to Margaret Mitchell's "Gone with the Wind." Yes, I know there . had ,to be some changes, ,but both book and movie were hits in many people's minds. A complaint that is often leveled at the movie industry is that would-be readers see a movie and then feel no need to read the book from which it came. How many times has the release of a classic in reinvi• form stimulated you to read a book you've long neglected? If your answer is "never," I would suggest that you probably would not have read the book anyway. At least you were ex posed to its ideas through the silver screen. . You and I may complain the end of our movie-going days about what Hollywood does to some "good" books, but let us remember that this enter tainment mill must fight every obstacle our minds create In its path.

Leslie P. Greenhill, associate director of the Division of Aca demic Research and Services, , said recently. THE UNIVERSITY has been working on plans to find a lo cation for the transmitter Ito broadcast ETV programs, on means to finance the project and on plans for obtaining an ETV operating license from the Fed eral Communication Commission. Greenhill said: The estimated $550,000 would be used to obtain or construct buildings, purchase equipment and to build a transmitter. The operating cost of such .11 station for one year would then be about $200,000, Greenhill said. The University has already vested about $225,000 in its closed circuit television.sytsem on cam pus and on research for estab lishing ETV here, he added. But these costs are still rela tively low when it is considered how many thousands of . people in the central Pennsylvania area could be served by - an ETV sta tion operated by the University, Greenhill said. While plans are being formu lated for an ETV station, the Uni versity intends to continue ex pansion and ,improvement of ;its closed circuit TV system, be said.
