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

'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

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,

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.

'Fairness'
TO THE EDITOR: As Dean
of a college which lias sup
ported the general principle
of student involvement at var
ious levels of educationa 1
policy, I must enter my strom
objection to the use of a col
umn by Mel Ziegler to set
forth his own extensive eval
uation of an individual fac
ulty member's course.
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

Which came first ?
The Volkswogen engine came first.
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.
But we put first things last.
