"Catch-22” Mike Nichols
film based on Joseph Heller’s
novel about Yossarian, a
WWII soldier who realizes
just how insane the military
is. Made during the Vietnam
era and -reflective of the
period. A little mixed up but
has some striking moments.
Cast includes Alan Arkin,

Documentary unentertaining
'Manson' mediocre film
By KAREN GOTTENBERG
Collegian Staff Writer
"Manson,” a new film
being shown at Cinema I, is
more concerned with multi
screen effects than ghoulish
multi-murders.
The film, a documentary
about Charles Manson, “The
Family” and the infamous
Tate-Laßianca Murders, was
pasted together about three
years ago and released now
as a rather obvious attempt to
capitalize on the success of
the recent television movie
"Helter Skelter.”
"Manson” boasts an all
star cast including Charlie
••• &
s^W\\">\\
himself, Vincent Bugliosi, the
Chief Prosecutor and Lynette
‘Squeaky’ Fromme who is,
the advertisement reminds
us, “the girl who pointed the
gun at the President.”
Unfortunately, the repeated
interviews with ‘Squeaky’
included in the film were
taped years before she ever
attempted to kill President
Ford.
“Manson” explores the
background of the Manson

UNITED STATES READING LAB
OFFERS SPEED READING COURSE
IN STATE COLLEGE
U.S. READING LAB will offer a 4 week course in speed reading to a
limited number of qualified people in the State College area. This recently
developed method of instruction is the most innovative and effective
program available in the U.S. Not only does this famous course reduce your
time in the classroom to just 1 class per week for 4 short weeks but is also
includes an advanced speed reading course on cassette tape so that you
can continue to improve for the rest of your life.
In just 4 weeks the average student should be reading 4-5 times faster.
In a few months some students are reading 20-30 times faster attaining
speeds that approach 6000 words per minute. In rare instances speeds up
to 13000 wpm have been documented. Our average graduate should read
7-10 times faster upon’completion of the course with market improvement
in comprehension and concentration.
For those who would like additional information, a series of free 1 hour
orientation lectures have been scheduled. At these free lectures the course
will be explained in complete detail including classroom procedures, in
struction, class schedule, and a special one time only introductory tuition
that is less than V 2 the cost of similar courses. You must attend any of the
meetings for information about the State College classes. The orientations
are open to the public above age 14 (persons under 18 should be ac
companied by a parent if possible).
If you have always wanted to be a speed reader but found the cost
prohibitive or the course too time consuming, now you can, just by at
tending 1 evening per week for 4 short weeks. You can read 7-10 times
faster, concentrate longer, and comprehend more. If you are a student who
would like to make A’s instead of B’s or C’s or if you are a business person
who wants to stay abreast of todays ever changing accelerating world then
this course is an absolute necessity.
These special free 1 hour lectures will be held at the following times and
places. State College meetings:

If you are a bussinessman, student, housewife, or executive this course
which took 5 years of intensive research to develop is a must. You can
read 7-10 times faster, comprehend more, concentrate better and remem
ber longer. Students are offered an additional discount. This course can be
taught to industry.or civic groups at group rates upon request. Be sure to
attend whichever free orientation that best fits into your schedule.

For those who retain a
morbid curiosity about the

little and illustrates even less.

screen effects.
“Manson” offers none of
the shock or suspense of its
television counterpart, but,
like "Helter Skelter,” it can
not spare us a bit of ser
monizing. We are reminded of
“The Family's" statement to
society, “We are what you
made us,” and warned that
the press can make front page
martyrs out of people like
Manson.
“Manson,” as a
documentary, may well be
justified by the belief that
truth is stranger than fiction.
By comparison, fiction surely
must be much more en
tertaining.
