One for Nixon NIXON'S ORDEBED ATTACK of the Communist high command hold in Cambodia will hopefully convince the American people he should be the one term president of his fears. Despite his campaign for peace in ’6B, Nixon’s still clinging to that selfish and illegal policy of invading Commu nist-threatened soil he advocated as a hawkish Vice President. Nixon keeps trying to convince the nation his Vietnamization plans will end the continually escalating Southeast Asian war. In his speech Thursday night, the President claimed he was limited to three choices to do nothing, to provide massive military aid to Cambodia or to attack the Communist base complex which directs the southern war. CHOOSING THE FINAL and worst alternative, he announced the United States must now act to end the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong occupation which has lasted “... for years in blatant violation of Cambodia’s neutrality.” Americans are supposed to believe that Nixon's ordered “uninvasion'’ is not trespassing Cambodian government will. But in recent days high ranking govern ment sources there and Premier Lon Nol have been quoted as saying that their neutral government can’t approve for eign intervention. Nixon is further claiming his action is a necessary extension of the Vietnam war intended to protect American Letters to the Collegian Editor Both sides to blame TO THE EDITOR: On Wednesday of this week the College of Education sponsored a discussion among administrators, faculty and students. The purpose of the discussion was to give individuals the opportunity to express views and to clarify some issues, as stated in The Daily Collegian. I was there and was shocked to see that administrators and faculty outnumbered students! Apathy strikes again! But I can’t write if off with my personal note of cynicism, can I? So what can I do? I can go rap with my advisor and take along some patience if it is needed. “Commu nication” is there but as freshmen we are told that advisors are inaccessable. Bullshit! That can't be true for everyone! As the meeting showed me, some faculty are willing to take the blame for the lack of com munication. Students also should share the blame and shelve the ideas that they are just numbers and alienated, at least for the moment. . First, students should try every means of com munication (faculty-student coalition?) and then con sider rhetoric such as “Fuck the System” and “Revolution”. “Free the P.S.U. 41”, is not rhetoric, it is a de mand! This is because the lack of communication at Old Main and the denying of legal rights to the "political prisoners", caused the “paranoic" arrests of those involved. The legality of the Administration will be disposed of if “The 41” are convicted in court without justice! Joseph E. Reinecke (lOth-secondary Dallastown, Pa.)

At the same time, he's trying to tell the people at home the burden of war is being shifted to the South Vietnamese. HIS ARGUMENTS ARE totally unconvincing. It will be impossible not to step up the war with even the esti mated six weeks to two month expan sion into Cambodian territory. Fighting from the North will un doubtedly be intensified and there is no real proof the Cambodian people’s senti ment lies with the U.S. So ir past bitter experiences in the southeastern region are correct, this country has taken another far - reaching and misdirected plunge into “free world” affairs. There is no way Nixon can equate the Cambodian entry with American deescalation. He’s alienating the mod erates in this country even more than former President Johnson with such strong backups on promises to end the war. Most American people would have preferred to see Nixon take his first choice and do nothing about the Cam bodian threat. With that course, there was some hope for reconciliation with the North and American troop cutback in the South. IT'S TOO BAD he didn’t think of the fourth alternative to end the Asian massacres. But Nixon would lose “credi bility” for the U.S. by withdrawing from all those areas that so badly need our aggression. cducation- ALPHA PHI DELTA & TAU DELTA PHI Present their MINI-COMBINE Guests.& Invited Rushees giiiiiiiiimiiiiiimimiiimimmuiuimmiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimimiiiiiniiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiing | Unico Corporation ( H Unico Corp. owns and operates Armenara Plaza. = M Americana House, and the Ambassador Bldg. || §f Now renting for Spring and Summer terms. p § located across front South Halls |i | NOW RENTING | s New, modern all-electric apartments ■§! f for men or women. § I • Efficiencies § = • Semi one-bedrooms 1 = • One- and two-bedrooms s' | Also modern all-electric single rooms | 1 for men only. | iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill College of Liberal Arts which asked for my endorse ment. I, a student of the College of Liberal Arts and the Pennsylvania State University, am ashamed to have received this letter from Dean Paulson. How can you be so narrow minded as to just look at one side of the problem. I am enraged to have received this letter with its complete tone of fear. When did these events start to happen? Answer! Only when the Administration, headed by "Presi dent” (I am controlling my temper by not calling him many other things) Eric Walker, refused to talk ‘with the students over the “demands”. The ideas may have been questionable and debatable, but to call in police and arrest students—l ask: is this a fair and intelligent way to handle the situation? Who is being violent? Students sitting in a building or those sending police to physically remove, shut up, lock up and eventually expel these students. I am curious to understand how you are thinking about this problem. I honestly expected a letter for once criticizing the administration. Where is the faculty on this campus? How can the faculty sit by and accept what is going on. This verifies a fear I’ve had ever since I’ve been at Penn State—that this is not a school for faculty and students—Penn State is the Ad ministration of Penn State. Well, is that any way to run a relevant academic 1. Use a loud speaker so good people won’t get community? The faculty and the students should run hurt.

Don’t you, Dean Paulson, see the sad, sad fact that students are being expelled for wanting to speak to the President of this University, It is not all one sided, Dean Paulson—no, not by a long shot. So you wonder why the incidents took place. Look much harder. I repeat—l am disap pointed with your action on this problem and utterly refuse to sign the statement.

A few weeks ago it was reported in The New York Times that lavish pre-screening din ners were held for Academy members in con junction with this picture. One frank Universal Studios executive said, “We really cultivated the members; and boy, did it pay off!” After seeing the movie, a friend of mine said, “Boy, that must have been one hell of a meal!” This new movie is another retelling of the story of the marriage of Henry VIII to Anne Bbleyn. After his first wife, Katharine, bore him no sons following 20 years of marriage, Henry fought against the Catholic Church in or der to get an annulment so that he could marry Anne. Unfortunately, Anne too failed to bear a son for Henry and he ended up falsely accusing her of adultery in order to get rid of her. Anne's adultery was considered an act of high treason during Henry's time, so she lost her head. “Anne of the Thousand Days” often invites comparison with “A Man For All Seasons,” which dealt with Sir Thomas More’s reaction to the royal marriage. On all counts, "Anne" loses out to the earlier film. Although "A Man For All Seasons” was a seriously flawed work, Fred Zinnemann's excellent direction and several superb performances made it very much worth seeing. One has only to compare Orson Welles’ fine portrayal of Cardinal Woolsey in the earlier film to Anthony Quale's walk-through in the new picture, to see the enormous difference in quality between the two films. Welles was on screen for less than 10 minutes in "A Man For All Seasons,” but in those 10 minutes he per fectly conveyed the anguish Woolsey felt over the on-again off-again nature of Henry’s mar riages. In the new film. Anthony Quayle merely hobbles around and acts senile. In his last scene in the film he cries; for this achievement he was honored with an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. ©it laUy ©oUTgian Mall Subscription Pries: SIJ.OO s ytsr Mulling Addrtss Sox 4*7.

FESTIVAL 6-10 HUB HUB HUB HUB HUB HUB BALLROOM MUSIC BUILDING "Anne" also re-enacts one of the most moving scenes in "Seasons;” the beheading to Thomas More. Now, though, the role is played by a second rate character actor, rather than the brilliant Paul Scofield. Without someone powerful, like Scofield, in the part, the scene fizzles and becomes just another bad movie ex ecution. This film abounds with poor players in sup porting roles. I suppose Richard Burton was behind this movie, so that by comparison his mediocre Henry VII would look great. The same thing is true in another current film, "Patton,” in which the fine actor George C. Scott is surrounded with bad television actors. Anne Boleyn is played by Genevieve Bu jold, a young French-Canadian actress. Miss- Bujold has been excellent in several films ('’lsabel,” "La Guerre est Finie”), but here she fails miserably. She just doesn’t 'come across with the convincing bitchiness that the part demanded. During the film, we constantly wonder why a great king would move heaven and earth for this shrill, not particularly attractive little girl when, as he says, he could have any woman in England. The film would have been several times better if, say, Vanessa Redgrave or Mag gie Smith had been given the role. Miss. Bujold just doesn’t have strong enough screen presence to move us in a tragic role. Irene Papas plays a suffering wife (Katharine) for the umpteenth time. She is really getting to be a bit of a drag in this role (which she has done in “The Brotherhood.” ”Z," etc.). It’s hard to believe that as fine an actress as Irene Papas could have such con sistently poor taste in film scripts. When preparing this movie. Producer Hal Wallis went out and got the famed Charles ,lar roit to direct. Did I hear someone say, “Who??” Weil, it’s not unusual that no one seems to know who Jarrott is, because Wallis always makes it a point to hire talentless hacks to direct his films. That way there’s no possibility of "trouble” during production over such nasty things as script control, or the final cut. These might be heatedly argued if a good 'director, like Karel Reisz or Tony Richardson, were hired. But with Jarrott filling the post, Wallis could be sure that no "artistic” squab bles would interfere with the business of turn ing out the “product.” In short, there isn’t anything in “Anne of the Thousand Days” which makes it worth your time and money. Save both, and take in "M-A- S-H” instead. CHRIS R. DUNLAP Busineas Manager SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1970 BALLROOM BALLROOM BALLROOM BALLROOM BALLROOM
