A University As An Octopus Not long ago Charles G Simpson, chairman of the state Council on Higher Education, called the University so much of an octopus spreading ils tentacles through the state. He was talking about the recent and phenomenal growth of new commonwealth campuses. This year he has even more to cry about with the imminent establishment of a new campus at the former Olmsted Air Force Base. Simpson's challenges have gone largely unheeded by the Uni versity Administration, possible because they were too busy working on the future. As President Walker has stated the Olmsted project and the new Milton S. Hershey Medical Center which will take its first students next fall will become a vital part of the development of the Harrisburg area. It can hardly be denied that in some film review o 'Loved One' A Bomb 1 — by Steve Herr Before its premiere “Tile Loved One” was to be I lie film of the year. Adaptec! from Evelyn Waugh's superb novel on Hollywood and funerals, di rected by the man who sent us “A Taste of Honey" and “Tom Jones”, with a screenplay by Christopher Isherwood and Terry Southern, the author of "Candy" and parts of “Dr. Strangelove”—(his was to be the "motion picture with some thing to offend everyone!!” Then it opened and almost every critic in the country said ft was a bomb. What happened to the “Dr. Strangelove of 1965”? Well, part of the (rouble came about after producer Martin Ransohoff cut an hour or two out of Richardson’s final product. But if what we see now is any indication of what it all was like, the film’s few brilliant moments are due only to the gifts of its director and writers. The film’s funniest scene takes place early as Liberace, of all people, explains the vari ous caskets and perpetual A Student-Operated Newspaper 60 Years of Editorial Freedom Successor to The Free Lance, est. 1867 Publisher: Collegian/ Inc.

BDITORIAL OPINION ' ways the University’s system of Com monwealth Campuses looks a great deal like the tentacles of an octopus on a state map. In the field of higher educa tion, il ts in fact tho only public institu tion that can make such a claim. The University’s commonwealth campuses have gone a long way since their inception in the early years of the depression. Their purpose then was to provide low-cost, high quality education. It remains basically the same now. A university, to be a vital part of its society, must grow. A public university must grow even faster. At times it seems like the University is pushing too far ahead of the rest of the state. But Pennsylvania can hardly afford io call ils main university rash when in the next four years, the state will have apnroximately 90.000 qualified students with nowhere to go. flames available at Whisper ing Glades. After, Morse is taken on a tour of the grounds and the shots of the statues, trees, and waterfalls backed by John Addison's fine music, work like a trance. There are other occasional moments that show the mark of talent: Morse chasing Anjanette Comer through the streets setting in motion ex citing images at frenetic speed. Steiger’s mother devouring a pig, Margaret Leighton pulling a pistol on Morse as he at tempts to take away her dead pet, and a wedding ceremony given the rush job to make way for funeral services. Of (he performances, Giolsnd and Johnathan Winters do the best job with what they have, Robert Morse is wasted. The others try their best. I assume, an' 1 deliver very little. There are many funny mo ments in “The Loved One,’ but it is a store disappointment and all (he advanced publicity in the world can't erase this painful fact.

I support wholeheartedly the efforts of students to pre sent a collective judgement on selected courses such as those contained in the Undergradu ate Student Government Course Evaluation Guide. Moreover. I acknowledge the validity of the final points of the column namely that more extended comments about courses should be contained in evaluations and that indi vidual courses as well as the University may suffer from the problems of bigness. I must question the fair ness, however, of the editorial editor devoting a feature col umn largely to his own per sonal generalizations about a IkffiiVt'iltl/ HOii) can vou \ -- / BE HAPPi’ idrifciN C VOD DON’T KNfIuUiiHAT ‘/EAR HAS IN ( « s FOR Wy /-8 THAT'S BETTER-LIVE IN OREAD And fear...be sensible...

Then (he car was designed to go in fronr. (To hear our engineers tell it, the big reason for the car is to carry the engine around.l While that's a slight exaggeration, we did know all about the engine before we knew anything about the car. We knew it would go in the back because you get better traction that way. We knew it would be air-cooled so it wouldn't ever need water or anti-freeze. We knew it would use pitifully little gas and need precious few repairs. As you know, we're still at it; we try to make the whole VW better and belter every year. But the engine is still our pride and joy. We machine parts to ridiculous tolerances. We assemble every engine by hand. And we run each one twice (and adjust it twice! before we let it go. (This year, there's an extra bonus; about 25% more power. But the size is the same and so is the economy.) AH too often, car engines are stuffed in wher ever there's room up front.
