I And Howard Hawk's "Hatari n his no exception: The film's nine • arts of action take Place ineTan gaziyika, East Africa, while the plot takes place mainly in the ,producer's imagination. •.Anyway, I've detided to cast 'offi' all• of my cinematic inhibi tions, and not givb la darn about the one part plot. Let's just look at all that action. ! • - THE STORY is about a team of wild -game hunters . empioyedk by American zoos and circimes.:The producer chose John Wayne, an old hand at chasing animals, as the leader. He also threw in Red Buitons for comic relief—or may be; it's tragic relief--for Wayne gets all the laughs. Mr. Producer also obtained the seivicel l of top-notch Hollywood technicians, including Henry Man cini as music composer. Ilnfottunately, Mancini's music sounds like it should have been used lin something entitled, "Breakfast at Tiffany's in Tan ganyika." --1 MIR!AC ULOUSLY.Hawks threw together his animals, actors and - technicians correctly, for "Hatari" is about the most excit ing film from Hollywood this year. (Action wise, only!) "In between animal hunts, the general plot slithers along like this: , an American zoo sends a photographer to work as an aide .New, College . Diner:.

Everybody gets - what he wants. Guys, dolls, and "animals. It's all like an '1 Remember Mau Mau." BUT, AS I have said, who cares about plot anymore? As long as the screen can hold lions, tigers, elephants, sword fights, guided. missiles. (in Tanganyika, yet), and a couple, undred agitated natives, who canquibble? • So what if Join Wayne has to ride everywhere to jeep, because he's too old to ride horses? So what if Red Buttons. is out-acted by the elephants? Who cares? I don't. I've been stereophonically brainwashed. Bennett Wins Fellowship George S.

HIGH TEST, LOW TEST, NO TEST Just the other night I was saying to the little woman, "Do you think the importance of tests, in American colleges is being overemphasized?" (The little ntrittn, meitientally t vi not, a* you might think, my wife. My wife is far from a little woman. She is, in fact, adman seven feet high and heavily muscled.- She is a full-blooded Chiricahua .Apache and holds the world's hammer-throw record: The little woman I referred to is some one we found crouching under the sofa when we moved into our apartment several years ago, and there she has remained ever since. She never speaks, except to !Intim.* kind of guttural clicking sound ! when she is hungry. Actually, she is not, too much fun to have around, but with my wife away at track meets Most of the time, at least it gives me somelxxly to talk to.) But I digress. 0 () you think the importance of tests in American colleges is being overemphasised?" I said the other night to the little' woman, and then I said, "I'ts, Max, I do think the importance of tests in - American colleges is being overemphasized." (Aa I have explained, the little woman doe* not speak, so when we have conversations., I am forced to do. both parts.) `Y, ir et'6'izo4 To get back to tests—sure, they're important, but let's not allow them to get too important. There arc, after all, many qualities and talents that. simply can't be measured by quizzes. Is it right.to penalize a gifted student whose gifti di►n't happen to he of the academic variety? Like, for instance, Gregor Sigafoos? Gregor, a freshman at the New Hampshire College of Tanning andfbellea Lettres, has never visaed a single testi-yet - ell who know him agree that he is studded with talent like a ham. with cloves. He can, for example, sleep standing - up. Ile can do a perfect imitation of a scarlet tanager. (I don't mean just do the bird calls; I mean he can fly South in the winter.) lie can pick up B-B's with his toes. lie can Say "Toy boat" three times fast. fle.ain build a rude telephone out of two empty Marlboro packs and 1(X) yards of butcher's twine. - (Of all; his impressive accomplishments, this last ia the one. Gregor liken to do hest —not building the telephone, bet emptying the Mar! bon, packs. Gregor doesn't just dump the Marlboro* out of the pack. He smokes them one at a time—aettlinglback, getting comfortable, savoring each tasty puff. As Gregor often says with a a insome smile, "By George, the makers of Marlboro took their time finding this fine flavor, thin great filter, and by George, I'm going to take my time enjoying .'em!") Well, air, there. you have Gregor Sigahaw—artiat, humanist, philosopher, Marlboro smoker, amt freshman since 1939. Will the world—so desperately in need of talent— ever benefit from- Gregor's great gifts? Alan, no. He is in college to stay. But even more tragic for mankind is the case of Anna Livia Plurabelle. Anna Livia, a classmate of Gregor's, had no-talent, no gifts, no bruins, no personality. All she had was a knack for taking tests. She would cram like crazy before a tent, always get a perfect score,and then proloptly forget everything she haul learned.' Naturally., she graduated with highest honors and degrees by the dozen, but the Kul fact is that she left college no more educated, no more prepared to cope with the world, than when nhe'entered. Today, a broken womati, she crouches Under my 'pots. a Yon 14••##.6.••• And speaking of tests, we makers of Marlboro put our cigarette through an impressive number before: we send tt to the market. But ultimately. there is only one test that counter Do YOU like it? We think you will.
