Film freaks - have something to cheer
zilx)ut Starting Dec. 1 State College's first
f elm.co-op, the Pine Hall - Film
Coopdrative, will offer a series of
programs every Sunday evening at the
('amps Restaurant.
According to Ed Pitts, co-op treasurer,
the tilm co-op is - dedicated to bringing to
its membership a series of high quality
films not ordinarily available in this
area."
Included are foreign. "experimental"
and shorter films that local theaters do not
run Besides the showing df feature films,
the co-op plans to devote one week to films
by local amateurtlpm makers.
"Some people .1(e left unsatisfied by the
type of films ' being offered in State
College." Angelo Kolokuris, one of the co
op organizers, said.
The co-op recently completed a series of
open screenings in which 41-45 • persons
participated "Judging from the turnout,
we hope to do some good things."
Kolokuris said. >
"We are a im ing_for 50-70 members. The
more members, the better quality film we
can afford to offer," Gus Rugazas, co-op
coordinator said. Until recently knowledge
of the co-op was spread almost exclusively
by word of mouth.
Kolokuris said the co-op is not for
everyone. "We don't want the masses. We
want an audience that appreciates films
and has something to offer," he said.
Films will be presented at the Campus
Restaurant on E College Avenue.
Kolokuris said the "intimate" atmosphere
of the Campus Rettaurant lends itself to

Membership fee for the winter programs
has been set at $lO. "The $lO fee is to_help
us break even. We may not be able to pay
the postage to send it (the film) back,"
Pitts said.
Using film catalogues from s, a wide

of fifty:

The film •co-op idea evolved from the
food co-op organized a few years ago.
Donald Verene, one of the participants in
the last open screening, said he thinks the
co-op idea is important because "everyone
has an equal stage in it. Members get to
see the films they want to see," he said.
Pitts said the organizers have briefly in
vestigated the chance of becoming a USG
organization, but have made no plans
because of the restrictive nature of student
organizations.

Democrats
stronger
for '76 bid
WASHINGTON (AP) Running against a
scandal-plagued Republican party,
Democrats have captured the governorships
of California, New York and seven other
states to strengthen their hand in the 1976
presidential election.
The Democrats won 27 of 35 gubernatorial
races in Tuesday's off-year — election, in
cluding 18 in which they already controlled
Ow statehouse.
The Republicans won six, including Ohio,
where Democratic Gov."Johp J. Gilligan was
beaten by former Gov. James A. Rhodes.
The Democrats also lost South Carolina and
Kansas to the Republicans, who retained the
governorships of lowa, New Hampshire and
Michigan. Another Republican was leading
by a narrow margin in Democratic-controlled
Alaska, and an independent won in Maine.
Democrats went into the election with a 32
to 18 hold on the governorships and emerged
with their domination approaching 36 of the 50
states. I
But the reduced total of GOP governorships
may not be as serious to the party as the
population of the states now held by
Democrats.

WASHINGTON (UPI) The Justice Department
charged yesterday that IBM, the third most
profitable corporation in , the nation, had in
tentionally blocked competition through price and
marketing practices and should be restructured to
open •the computer xnarket to more firms.
In a 336-page brief filed with U.S. District Court
:judge David Edelstein in New York, the govern
"ment said IBM was able to sell 73 per cent of the
computers used in the United States because its
dominant position forced other companies to either
sell at a loss or provide more services and equip

LONG BEACH, Calif. (UPI)
—,_ Richard Nixon has
pnOtimonia in a small area of
the right lung and is running a
slight temperature, his doctor
disclosed yesterday.
The daily medical bulletin
from Dr. John Lungren did not
indicate any grave concern
about that development in the
former President's condition,
however, and said he was
"making slow but gradual im
provement."
Lungren said the congestion
of a slight amount of fluid in
the lungs was diminishing.
"There is still a small area
of pneumonitis," the
statement said.
-Nixoo physician was not
present - to expand on that
disclosure but, hospital
spokesman Norm Nager con
firmed that the term meant
Nixon had pneumonia in a
small area.
The bulletin said Nixon has
a slightly elevated tem
perature due to the
pneumonitis and the presence
of a hematoma or collection of
blood on his left flank.
Now, with the Democrats in control of all
but two of those states Ohio and Michigan
the Republicans will face the 1976 presiden- ,
tial year with the weakest &b . ernatoriar
holdings since 1960. That was the year John f`.
Kennedy ended eight years of GOP tenure in
the White House.
Democratic winners included Alabama
Gov. George C. Wallace, who has indicated he
will make another bid for his • party's
presidential nomination in 1976.
The Democrats scored their biggest vic
tories in New York and California, crucial
states in presidential elections because they
are the nation's two most populous.
In California, Democrat Edmund Brown
Jr., defeatedi State Controller Houston Flour
noy. Brown, 36, who succeeds two-term
Republican Gov. Ronald Reagan, will be the
state's youngest governor in 119 years.
In New York, Democrat Hugh L. Carey's
victory over Nelson Rockefeller's hand
picked successor, Malcolm Wilson, ended 16
years of Republican control of the governor
ship.
The Democrats', sweep also led Ella T.
Grasso into the Cozinecticut statehouse the
first woman ever elected governor of a state
without succeeding her husband.
The other GOP-held statehouses won by
Democrats were Colorado, Massachusetts,
Oregon, Tennessee, Wyoming and Arizona.
Democrats retained control of Alabama,
Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, Vermont,
Arkansas, Maryland, Rhode Island, Texas,
Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Min

Mexico and Hawaii.

There was no word about
Nixon's reaction to the
Democratic sweep of the off
year election.
Former press secretary
Ronald Ziegler said Tuesday
that Nixon would not watch
the returns - on television
during the evening but would
be most interested in the
results yesterday.
Lungren said the 61-year-old
Nixon wants to time his
walking activities so that he
can meet his family at the

them of his improving con

was told that 12 to 18 other
patients at Long Beach
Memorial Hospital will be

Union officials
anticipate strike
WASHINGTON ( UPl)—Ne
gotiating under pressure of
sporadic walkouts and an im
pending nationwide strike just
five days off, officials of the
United Mine Workers union
said yesterday they an
ticipated no progress in their
contract stalemate with the
coal companies.
Both sides said they were
bent on preventing a
prolonged strike that is to
begin officially at 12:01 a.m.
Tuesday. But few miners were
expected to show up for work
after the shift ending at 8 a.m.
Saturday.
Because the union's
ratification procedure takes
about 10 days, there was no
way a strike could be avoided
without government in
tervention or a breach in the
UMW by-laws. The UMW
refuses to work without a fully
ratified contract.
About 750 coal miners
walked out of Indiana County.
Pa., mines and a local union
official credited it to discon
tent over the progress being
made in the contract talks.
Another walkout in Greene
County, Pa., was blamed on
concern over excessive noise

But the government's brief appears to attack all
major IBM markets as monopolistic including
hardware, software, and computer technology.

yesterday looking grim and
drawn. He told reporters he

about the prospective re

said.
Miller had no comment on
the White House conference of
several governors set for this
afternoon to discuss the im
pact of a coal strike.
Miller had told UPI earlier
that government interference
in the negotiations could "add
two or three more weeks" to a
strike.
A prolonged strike _ would
cause large increases in
unemployment, possible
blackouts and cutbacks in
manufacturing.

covered under the BCOA con
tract produce about 70 per
cent, of the nation's coal—a
commodity which accounts
for about 18 per cent of the
nation's total energy supply.
