Club Seeks Volunteers From GU Student Body For Tag Day Collection

This Saturday Georgetown students will once again be asked to donate their services to raise funds for the annual Cerebral Palsy Tag Day.

Tag Day, which will be sponsored on Campus by the Wash­ington Club, will be held Saturday from 1 to 3 :30 p.m.

Last year Hoya volunteers col­lected a total of $550, almost $200 more than the combined total of other Washington colleges.

Those who wish to serve as volunteers for Tag Day should contact Washington Club president Ed Koepenick, either in the Club Lounge or at EM 5-2750. There will be a party at the Mayflower Hotel for all fund raisers at 4:00 p.m.

Lounge Committee' The Washington Club, whose

moderator is Father Neil J. Gar­gan, S.J., is planning several other events. A lounge committee, under the direction of Jack Sheahan, has been busy redecorating the non­residents' recreation area, which is located in the basement of New North. New equipment, including a television set, ping-pong tables, and magazines, has been acquired, and more will be added in the future.

The club is also planning a Christmas dance, a parent-faculty reception, and the sponsorship of one of the events of the Spring Wee ken d. President Koepenick summarizes the aims of the Wash­ington Club as follows: "Emphasis this year will be on the service project and integrating the day student into the life of the Cam­pus."

in world affairs. Following his speech, the Secretary offered enlightening and entertaining answers to the troubled quer­ies of world-minded Royas.

Levchenko solved the final question by frankly admitting, in his wall to wall manner, that he, a representative of the Soviet Union, was unfortunately not an authority on East German affairs. However, he did venture the "ex­planation" that the purpose of the Wall was to protect the Russian satellite. It was seen that the in­fluence of the revenge seeking West Berliners was endangering their Eastern inmates: "All kinds of dirty business was going on over there."

Assuring Answers When doubt was thrown on the

freedom of the post-war elections in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, Levchenko was anxious to clarify the facts: "I can assure you that it was really a free plebiscite by which the people, of their own de­sire, were accepted into the free family of states."

Eyebrows were raised at this point. But it was not until the Secretary justified party line clas­sification of the western democra­cies as "imperialistic" that the usually reserved Hoya demeanor broke down into a hearty appreci­ation of the incongruity of the Rus­sian's stand. Although today the West has lost the great part of its colonial empire, the Soviet Union is the largest empire in the world. But, with a straight-faced sincerity that would do credit to a kindergarten instructor, Levchenko explained: "The Soviet Union pro­vides for regular four-year elec­tions. Those people who wish may chose to become separate and in­dependent states."

And so it went: Why have there

Collegium. Musicum. Holds Piano Recital by Fennim.ore

This Sunday, December 2, the Collegium Musicum of Georgetown University will present a piano recital in Gaston RaIl by Arthur C. Fennimore of Berwyn, Pennsylvania. The recital, which is open to all free of charge, will begin at 3 p.m. It will also be broadcast live over Georgetown's radio station, WGTB.

Mr. Fennimore was invited to play here at Georgetown on the strength of his showing in the Van Cliburn Interna­tional Piano Contest held last month in Fort Worth, Texas. Although the rules of the contest called for only six finalists. the judges felt that his playing was of such caliber along with that of the other winners that he was also allowed to compete in the finals. He finished seventh and in addition received the Nieman-Marcus award of $500 for the best performance in the entire contest of Lee Hoiby's Capriccio which had been especially commissioned for the contest. All contestants were required to learn this piece although they received their copies only one month before the competition began. The SatU?·­day Review said that his musical future is as bright as that of any of the contestants.

He first came to national promi­nence when he competed in the Merriwether Post National Compe­tition for young instrumentalists held here in 1956. At that time he finished second out of a field of over three hundred although he was only sixteen.

Mr. Fennimore's career began at the age of six, and at nine he won his first contest. Since then he has won area competitions sponsored by the General Electric Company and the Central New York Associ­ation of Music Teachers; he won scholarships to the Chautauqua School of Music and the Lake Placid (New York) summer Sym­phony program.

Six years ago he began study with the renowned Rudolph Serkin at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. Under Mr. Serkin's

MR. ARTHUR C. FENNIMORE

aegis he won further, more impor­tant contests leading to an appear· ance with the Philadelphia Orches· tra last March when he played one of the most difficult concertos in the repertoire, the Prokofiev Sec· ond Piano Concerto. Last June he won one of five scholarships at the International Casals Festival in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The two preceding summers he had spent studying at the Marlboro Festival in Marlboro Vermont. There he played the Beethoven ThiTd Piano Conce?·to with the Marlboro Or­chestra under Alexander Schneider who also conducts the Casals Fes­tival Orchestra.

This past week he returned to Fort Worth, the scene of the Cli­burn Competition, to play for the Harmony Club of Fort Worth.

Among other works he will play is Ravel's Gaspard de la N11it.

To Be Seen Tonite Tonight from 9 :30 to 11 :30

some of the world's greatest performers will appear via closed-circuit television in Mc­Donough Gymnasium to en­tertain an audience of Wash-ihgton students and citizens ex­pected to number about 4000.

The performance, entitled "An American Pageant of the Arts", features such stars as Marian An­derson, Harry Belafonte, Pablo Casals, Van Cliburn, Danny Kaye and many others. The proceeds from this program, which will be broadcast to similar sites through­out the country, will be donated to the Natural Cultural Center. The center is to be erected in Foggy Bottom, a short distance down the Potomac from Georgetown.

Popular entertainer Don Leace, who appears regularly at the Shadows, will give a live perform­ance prior to the close-circuit presentation. He will be joined by Georgetown's own Restless Knights.

Students to Benefit The co-chairmen of the a~air

here at Georgetown, College senior Randy Maloney and Foreign Serv­ice senior Mark Phillips, point out that University students will bene­fit both from the performance and from the Cultural Center itself. They said that the Center's prox­imity to the Campus will place great music, drama, and light en­tertainment near at hand and at the easy disposal of all Hoyas.

Maloney and Phillips report that tickets, priced from $1 to $5, are on sale at the Cafeteria and have been distributed for sale at the vari· ous girls' schools in the area. Late permissions will be given at George­town and the girls' colleges to those attending the show.

Dr. James S. Ruby, Executive Secretary of the Alumni Associa­tion, has contacted many of the local alumni and expects a large turnout from this group.

The administrations of the local colleges reacted enthusiastically to a letter sent by the Pageant com­mittee asking that late permissions be granted to students attending the telecast here. This will allow students to attend the entire per­formance without any anxiety con­cerning checks.

The set·up in the gym will be similar to the seating arrangement employed at the Brothers Four con· cert, except that seats will be placed along the balcony. The performance will be beamed onto a twenty-by­twenty screen which can be clearly seen from any part of the gym.

Georgetown is one· of six uni­versities in the Washington area playing host to the production. Co­chairman Maloney expressed the hope that the Hilltop's attendance will be tops in Washington, which would probably make it the highest in the country. "The proceeds will be recorded," he stated, "as coming from the students themselves, not from the -University."

Editorial Capitalistic Laughter

The speech of Mr. Nikifor Levchenko on Monday, No­vember 19, was strangely punctuated by titters of laughter which once or twice exploded into gales. We wonder just what was the significance of the laughter. Was it an ex­pression of disapproval from an impolite and uncultured audience or was it simply the exhibition of shock and dis­belief upon hearing a high ranking official of the Soviet Government lisping absuridities? Or might it have been an honest reaction from an audience who did not have to guard their expression, in marked contrast to the speaker who found himself time after time without the proper informa­tion or unable to speak for governments of the Ukraine, Beylorussia, East Germany, and Communist China, because there was after all "no relation between those governments and his own."

It seems to us that the audience at the lecture was not really impolite. Certainly the lecturer did not seem angered by such reaction. He angered only at clear statement of fact from a Hungarian refugee, concerning free elections in his native country. The laughter seemed rather to confound him, perhaps because it is not an integral part of his emotional makeup, or the personality of the country he represents.

And Capitalistic Enterprise The National Cultural Center is at the same time a

monument to American interest in the performing arts, and applied American capitalism. Sharing in importance with the fact that the performing arts will now have a central location in the United States, is the fact that this mammoth project which will ultimately benefit the entire nation is being carried on without governmental assistance except in the most nominal fashion, and more importantly without governmental subsidy.

Whatever the arguments for and against government subsidy of culture, everyone will agree that, when such a program as this comes totally from the people without the help of the authorities, it is to that extent, more valuable.

And Georgetown's participation in An American Pageant of the Arts illustrates our proper interest in making the city in which the University is placed a center of art as well as politics, and at the same time serves an example of initiative within the University. When the University was approached, the administration turned the entire project over to the Collegiate Club and Alpha Phi Omega who have coordinated the entire effort. However, the students involved would never have been successful without the cooperation of the alumni, the public relations office, and the adminis­tration and faculty. The University can be proud that their contribution, whatever its size, will represent the willingness of every segment of the University to bring the Cultural Center to Washington.

rRE ROYA

Thursday, December 6, will be the occasion for the last Dean's' Lecture of the present year. The s pea k e r will be Rev. Hunter Guthrie, S.J .. formerly President of Georgetown and presently a professor at St. Joseph's College in Philadelphia. Father Guthrie's topic will be "Three Contemporary Movements of Thought."

This column, devoted as it is to the Arts and Crafts and other lit­tle pleasures of life, takes joy in congratulating College junior, Carl Caruso upon the inclusion of his poem "Strange Autumnal Burn­ing-Tree" in the "Annual Anthol­ogy of College Poetry."

Congratulations are also in or­der to Dr. Frank Keegan, the As­sociate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and incidentally to Mrs .. Keegan upon the birth of their ninth child, their fifth son. By our reckoning, the Keegans now have a baseball team, a basketball team, and, if the parents pitch in, a football team. Quite an accom­plishment.

The Ambassador from New Guinea will speak here on Monday in the Multilingual Room in the Walsh BUilding. Sponsored by the AAAS, the topic will be "The Problem of African-Unity and an Economic Approach of the Young African Continent_"

A new contest has been an­nounced and excitement of it should be spreading through the Campus with the speed of a bush fire on the South Pole. It's for the Amy Love­man National Award, given to the College Senior who has collected an outstanding personal library. All of those who for four years have not been returning books to the Library should take this oppor­tunity to reap extra benefit from the criminal tendencies of their early careers.

The HOYA ofers its sincere condolences to the family and friends of John F. Hagerty, who passed away in the crash of a United Airlines plane on No­vember 23. A part-time junior in the School of Foreign Service, he was 20.

Cultural Center Benefit In Nation-wide Telecast At McDonough Tonight

by Anthony Thomas The star-studded extrava­

ganza which will be shown at McDonough Gymnasium to­night will be seen simultane­ously by thousands of viewers in over eighty American cities.

The benefit performance for the National Cultural Center will be projected by closed-circuit tele­vision to auditoriums, theaters, and cultural centers throughout the country. Members of the nation­wide audience are paying from $1 to $100 to see the show. The pro­duction is to begin at 9 :30 p.m.

President's Appearance The telecast will feature the

"greatest collection of performers ever brought together for one show." The show, which will be televised from various cities across the country, will open with a tape of the arrival of President and Mrs. Kennedy at the National Armory for the dinner which will have started before show time. They will enter to the music of the United States Army Band. Ap­pearing live from Washington will be Richard Tucker, Dorothy Kir­sten, and Danny Kaye. They will perform with the National Sym­phony Orchestra under the direc­tion of Howard Mitchell. Tucker and Kirsten will sing and Kaye will do a satire.

• "

The Manchurian Candidate, starring Frank Sinatra and Laurence Harvey, is now disturbing audiences at the R.K.O. Keith's. It is a psychopolitical thriller that doesn't relieve nervous tension for a moment. At the very opening of the film director John Frankenheimer begins to stretch the nerves as if they were just so many rubber bands until in the final scene he lets go. The impact is tremendous and the spectator feels that his insides and his limbs are flying every which way as the accumulated tension is released_ .}'( /;

The plot focuses its attention on Raymond Shaw (Laurence .~ Harvey). In the opening scene, set on a lonely, desolate Korean battle- ~ field, an entire patrol led by Sergeant Shaw is betrayed into the hands 1 of the Chinese troops by their turncoat Korean guide. The men are I

knocked out and flown in helicopters to what? . . . a lecture on gardening for useless middle-aged women? Not quite. This is what the men think they are at and we are seeing the situation through ~'~ their eyes.

HEREABOUTS by Singer & Thomas

This is a very busy week as far as entertainment is concerned at Georgetown. The televised show for the National Cultural Center is tonight at the gym, and the first basketball game, admittedly a different form of the arts, is Saturday night. Since Georgetown is truly prepared for all events, the game can also be seen in the gym.

Theater Just in case anybody missed, or will miss, the senior marriage

course, two Washington theaters have humbly offered up their time to present instruction. The Palace has a lecture by those two typi­cally American young newly·weds, Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin, entitled If a Man Answers. It is in "glorious color" and is financed by Ross Hunter who specializes in this type of movies. Look what he did for Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh.

The Capitol theater has spared no expense for its presentation. ~; Realizing the importance of the subject, they have called upon the ~ foremost man in this field, Tennessee Williams. Period of Adjustment, ~ again not being satisfied with the second best, has rounded up an all) star cast. Jane Fonda, fresh from Walk on the Wild Side and Chapman •. ~. Report, brings all her past experience to her role, while Jim Hutton and Tony Franciosa just bring their past. ~

"

I have decided to do a short thesis myself upon the mysteries .'" found in the minds of motion picture distributors. At the MacArthur, for instance, a movie is being shown with the title Rebel With a Cause. This film's real name is The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner. It is based upon a book by the same name and was filmed by Tony Richardson with strict adherence to the book. So why change .} the name'! Surely they can't think that anyone, except maybe a few I)

freshmen nurses, remembers .r ames Dean. This is the era of the art 1) film. It is a time of serious movies on serious themes. The rejection ~ of this trend for silly commercialism is absolutely incomprehensible, rf

and will only result in a thwarting of their purpose. J Music ,

The Shoreham's Blue Room will have the Four Saints starting Tuesday, December 4, through Saturday, December 15. The Four Saints are one of those vocal-instrumental comedy groups, not unlike the Vagabonds who used to yock it up on the old Arthur Godfrey show. They've been working as a group since high school, including .,~ four-year stands in college and in the Air Force. Their act promises to be rather typical night club fare, but that says nothing about its quality. Carmel Quinn continues at the Blue Room until Saturday.

We were going to give you the word about a new folksinging place called Coffee 'n' Confusion, at 10th and K Streets, N.W., until J we walked in and found 95¢ espresso and two guys on the stage who were singing and playing like MatteI toys. So we won't say anything about the place. .

./

If there are still any tickets left, it would be a worthwhile effort to attend this evening's benefit telecast for the National Cultural Center at the gym. Not only will the "ice cube tray" keep Washington in the running in the current proliferation of instant Acropolises, it will doubtless also provide fodder for many more articles on acoustic!:

Et Get Girls, Girls, Girls-and Elvis Presley-at the Metropolitan . . . '"

Under Milkwood at the Arena Stage . . . Divorce-Italian Style at the Apex ... Requiem for a Heavyweight at the Town ... The Longest Day at the Ontario . . . Julius Caesar-without Liz and Dickie-at Catholic University for two weeks starting tomorrow.

'Prophet Euripides' Rings· To Be Presenled ClassicsTalkTheme AI Annaal Class Dance Given By Dr. Knox

Under Milkwood, presently at Arena Stage, takes the form of a rhapsody or tone poem on the theme of daily life. The musical termin­

. ology is used advisedly because it is the lyrical or musical rather than the comic which is stressed in Arena's production of the Welsh classic.

There is some music in the original play: songs an organ, humming, and lines written to be spoken against one ~nother in a kind of verbal counterpoint. But to this Arena has added more off-stage music, and an operatic conception of structure and form. While the play is in only one act, it is divisible into a number of scenes. In this production the end of these scenes is signalled by a build in the tempo and volume of the speeches which seem to be spoken in a kind of unison which can only be compared to an ensemble in opera.

The result of this conception is a surprising production which evokes an ambivalent reaction on the part of the audience. Initially

~ there is understandable disappointment at the loss of the raucous humor which usually distinguishes any production of the play; the drama seems to be taking itself too seriously, something Dylan Thomas would never have wished. But after the close of the dream sequence which opens the play, the mood settles and the subtleties and the flavor of this interpretation begins to come clear. The language is allowed to appear in all its vocal beauty, though some may protest that the meaning is sometimes sacrificed for the sound· the relation­ships between the various groups of people are clarifi~d more than usually because of the slow and easy to follow pace; finally each actor, although playing several sometimes disconnected parts, manifests himself and, miracle of miracles, by the end of the play we are able to remember which parts go with which actors.

As in every Arena production, there can be no complaint about the quality of the actors and actresses taking the parts. They are good down to the last man. This production must tap every resource of the company, using a cast of 32, but the smallest part was handled with professional competence and virtuosity. Stand-out performances

BRILLIANT AS THE DAY IS LONG _ . _ Alan Oppenheimer and J. Robert Dietz in Arena Stage's Welsh stagepoem, "Under Milkwood."

were given by Alan Oppenheimer as one of the voices and J. Robert Dietz as Captain Cat and Karen Cross as Polly Garter. Mr. Oppen­heimer was able to impart the rhythm and vocal music of the narrative by wise adherence to the meter without an attempt to imitate the dialect. This interpretation was followed too by Ray Reinhard in the role of the other voice, but unlike Mr. Reinhard, Mr. Oppenheimer was also speaking lines of dialogue, or lines of narration as well as lyric stanzas. Further he was an integral part of the play, reacting to the occurrences and moving with grace around the often crowded stage.

Presenting Under Milkwood as a play is a daring move, because there does not seem to be enough dramatic material to sustain an audience for the length of time required. Arena's production does as well as can be done, first by being daring in interpretation, and cavalier in mode of presentation. At one point, for example, after about fifteen minutes, an interlude is provided to allow late comers to be seated, by having the characters stop the dialogue and yet stay on stage moving about and chatting with one another, very much in character. The combination of this chicanery on stage and the sight of people entering with the houselights up is a novel one, and leaves the audience sur­prised enough to sustain them until the mood can be re-established. The mood of the production is a hard one to attempt, being subtle and too constant ever to be really climactic. Ultimately though, the result is a production so full of good things and living personality that it earns in retrospect the ultimate epithet, brilliant. T.E.S.

Lecturing before members of Eta Sigma Phi on Th urs­day evening, November 15, Professor Bernard M. W. Knox, Director of the Center for Hellenic Studies, presented his view of Euripides as the prophet of the Athenian destruction pre­cipitated by the Peloponnesian Wars.

Beneath . the homogeneity, rea­son, and VIrtue of a Greece por­trayed by Aeschylus and Sophocles Euripides saw man as a creatur~ impelled by irrational forces. Ac­cording to Doctor Knox, this tragic vision is artistically mirrored in the shocking themes of such plays as the Alcestis, Medea, and Hip­polytus, which show men driven by eros to the barbarity of blind pas­sion, adultery, incest, and deceit. The context of the Euripidean character is a universe dominated by gods who are just like men, driven by passion unchecked by reason or moderation. In working out their lives in such a universe, the characters are logic-chopping rhetoricians, struggling to make decisions, but willing to make a case for anything.

This grand insight of Euripides, "of for seeing as he saw," was soon fortified by the chaos of the war years recorded by Thucydides, who tells of the loss of Greek reverence, of the total sacrifice to the im­mediate war needs, and of the decay of Greek character exempli. fied by Alcibiades.

Doctor Knox stated that Eurip­ides, ostracized by the Greeks of his day, is the prototype of the poet as an outcast. The jeremiad, especially in an age of prosperity, is seldom popular. Only with fol­lowing generations did Euripides gain popularity, and then he fully eclipsed the renown of Aeschylus and Sophocles. Later his influence spread to the writings of the

TRADITION MAKERS ___ from left to right, Bob Flaherty, Butch Rodgers, Charles Severs.

The Class of 1964 will sponsor what its officers hope will start a tradition at Georgetown College, the junior class ring dance, on Friday, November 30, in New South non­resident Cafeteria. Music will be provided by Fred Perry and his band; refreshments, including special punch, will be available. The semi-formal dance is open to all at $4 a couple.

The Very Reverend Edward B. Bunn, S.J., President of the University, will preside at the presentation of rings to those members of the class who ordered them last spring and who have not previously picked them up.

Second Time The ring dance was started last

year by the social committee of the Class of 1963 in an attempt to unify the class at a serious social function.

In announcing the same idea to the Class of 1964, the class officers ran into some difficulty since sev­eral members of the cla-ss wanted their rings before th,,: dance. They

based their claim on the fact that the rings had been promised on delivery, and because the officers had, they said, neglected to in­form them of the plans that had been made for their rings.

Difficulties were solved by per­mitting these juniors who wanted them to pick up their rings on Fri­day, November 16. All others will do so at the dance.

Chip Severs, Chairman of the social committee for the Class of '64, responded to a querry: "This year's ring dance is being held in order to create a tradition at Georgetown which is found in so many other schools. It will be a function which will instill a feeling of identincation between one's ring and the school."

Search For Identity Is Topic of Lecture By G.U. Professor

Dr. Louis K. Dupre of Georgetown's philosophy and theology departments will in­itiate this year's activities for the Philosophy Club Lecture Series with a non-philosoph­ical talk entitled "Man In Search Of His Identity." The lecture will take place in Copley Lounge at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 4.

Doctor Dupre was born in Bel­gium, and was educated at the University of Nijmegen. He re­ceived his PhD from the University of Louvain in Belgium, and has served on the faculty at George­town since 1958. His published works include The Starting Point of Marx's Philosophy and The The­ology of Kierke.gaard. This latter work was written in Dutch, and will be published in English short­ly after Christmas as K ierkegaard, The Theologian. Doctor Dupre has also done articles for Commonweal and Crosscurrents, as well as for several other European periodicals, and is presently working on a new book about Marx.

In his lecture, Doctor Dupre will discuss the relationship between philosophy and man's concrete ex­istence, and the changing way by which man looks into himself.

According to club president Paul Kennerson, the organization is presently engaged in lining up speakers for further lectures. Ten­tative plans include a talk by na­tionally known free-lance philos­opher Hannah Arendt. Her book, Human Condition, deals with the development and evolution of great political ideas. Father Johann of Shrub Oak Seminary also figures prominently in the club's tentative plans.

It is possible that the Philosophy Club will sponsor a philosophy symposium of area schools some· time during the second semester. The discussion will center about a non-controversial philosophical is­sue .. Kennerson emphasizes, how­ever, that this as well as plans for speakers are still in the formative stage, and that no arrangements are as yet definite.

Prominent in club activities are officers Nick Nastasi and George Patrick, and moderator Dr. Thomas McTighe.

Church Fathers, who saw in the Euripidean vision the desperation of the human spirit in the de­generate Roman civilization.

Euripides, then, was "modern". He was the first to exploit the complex psychology of changing, passionate, suffering man. Likewise modern in the Euripidean scheme, in which man is transformed from hero to victim. Finally, Euripides shows, through his life and works, the alienation which is the fate of many modern artists who see the "here and now for what it is" and consequently, are accepted by the future although rejected by the present.

process. He has been turned into a machine, a machine that will murder when properly triggered. And to prove his point, the Russian doctor who has done the laundering work orders him to kill two members of the patr61. So Raymond docilely strangles the first and shoots the other through the head.

The horror of the new Raymond having been sufficiently estab­lished, the scene is shifted to Washington's National Airport, where Sergeant Shaw is being welcomed as a winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor.

After he has been placed in a very responsible position on a New York paper, Raymond is again contacted by the Reds. To test out the mechanism they have him kill his boss on the paper; and of course Raymond functions perfectly. He is now ready for the big job the Commies have made him for-killing off the favored presi­dential candidate so that a Communist puppet can be swept into power.

As Raymond sits in a light box high above the floor of Madison Square Garden, the convention site, waiting for the presidential nominee to reach the sentence in his acceptance speech which acts as a triggering device, the tension builds in the audience. They are viewing the whole scene through the sight on Raymond's rifle which is trained right on the candidate's head. Then, just as he begins to utter the detonating words . . .

Three hours and three drinks later when the spectator is calm enough to begin thinking rationally he will realize what a great film The Manchurian Candidate is. Laurence Harvey as Raymond is superb. He fills the role by summoning all his professional skill to catch every nuance of expression in the horrible but pathetic character's face. Sinatra as Raymond's commanding officer leaves something to be desired. But he is so small and insignificant that he could hardly get in Harvey's way. Angela Lansbury as Raymond's insidious mother does a remarkable job of playing an arch-bitch. Janet Leigh also ran.

In addition to fine performances and brilliant plotting the film also takes sharp satirical pot-shots at the ridiculous behavior of the Birchites and their forerunner, the late Senator Joe McCarthy. In fact Candidate hits everybody dead center.

LIEUTENANT .JOHN MONTEFUSCO, HISTORY MA.JOR, CLASS OF '61

"If I had it to do over again, would I take Army R.D.T.C.?

My wife and I are in Panama at the moment. She likes it. You know, Officers' Club, dances-that sort of thing. I like it, too. But whether I stay in the Army or not, the question is: Would I take Army R.O.T.C. if I had it to do over again? Yes, I certainly would. In spades, I didn't realize how lucky I was. At the time I figured: Okay, so I'll get my degree-get an Army commission, too, and pick up some extra money along the way! I wasn't the leadership type, I thought. I was wrong. Boy, was I wrong! Looking back on it, I wouldn't trade the leadership training I got for anything! Take my word for it, leaders are made-not born! Whether I stay in the Army or not, nobody can take away what I've learned. And let's face it, where can anybody my age step out of college and walk into a standard of living this good? Look, if you have already invested two years in college ROTC, take it from me: Stick it out! It'll be one of the smartest things you ever did. I say so."
