Jack L a m b e r t o n
Elected
1969 - 7 0 SBG P r e s i d e n t
(March 5) Jack Lamberton
made an easy tread to victory
as he defeated his only competitor John Groth Jr., for the
1969-70 SBG presidential position.
Mr. Lamberton, a math major
and junior from Los Angeles,
competed against John Groth Jr.
of New York without any real
campaigning prior to the elections due to unexpected personal
matters.
Mr. L a m b e r t o n ' s most
stressed issue was to try to
destroy the present student apathy in general, and to improve
the newly established IOC (Inter
Organization Council) which will
control student activities here
on campus.
The results of the other elections were as follows:
James Melby, from Minnesota,
elected as Executive Vice-President, emphasized the importance
of student participant in SBG
activities.
The new Vice-President of
Academic Affairs and Student
Welfare was won by Charmalne
Letoumeau without headstrong
competition, Judy Joiner acclaimed her new position as the
new Vice-President ci Social and
Cultural Affairs. Jack Levesque
was nominated and confirmed his
position as Vice-President of Student Publications, and Joel Sil-

berstein took on his newly acclaimed position as Vice-President of Athletic Affairs.
The easiest position won was
that of the Business Manager,
where Francis Kaye Peacock was
elected unanimously as he was
the only candidate for the position.
The most factious debate for
the position of female head senior, starting with four candidates, all incoming juniors. After two run-offs, Charmine Letoumeau and Nancy Pollock remained on the ballot. In the
climax Nancy Pollock came off
with a surprising lead, and took
victory as the new femait htaii
senior. And as for the male
head senior, Larry Puthoff took
his position with a three-to-one
lead over Mike Tuccelli.
Joseph Benedetto, Class of
1970, of New Orleans, Louisiana
was elected Editor-in-Chief of
the 1969-1970 Buff and Blue at
the annual election. Also chosen were fellow 70'er, Marianne
Sasseen of Fordland, Missouri
as Literary Editor, and Byron
Cantrell, '71, of Atlanta, Georgia
as Business Manager.
Editor Benedetto, a veteran
correspondent, has served the
Bulf and Blue as a writer, columnist, and Sports Editor over
the past three years.

AN EVENING WITH JAMES
EXCHANGE PROGRAM
MOSELY AND FLYING
SAUCERS
By R o s i t a N. P a c t o
"And the likeness of the firma­
ment upon the bands of the living
creature was as the color of the
terrible crystal, stretched forth
over their heads above," thus
quoting from the Bible, James
Mosely, America's foremost ex­
pert on flying saucers, began
his extemporaneous lecture to a
capacity crowd of students,
faculty members and alumni, who
came to hear him for a myriad
of reasons, be they curiosity,
skepticism, or a fascination for
things mysterious,
Dr, H oward Roy, host of the
evening program and chairman
of the lecture sevles, introduced
the speaker and also commended
the students for their enthusiastic
response and patronage to all
the lectures presented so far,
Moseley titillated the audience'
imagination with his accounts of
the appearance of imidentified
flying objects, dating from bibli­
cal times up to the present. H e
cited documented cases backed by
scientific evaluation and obser­
vation of UFO's spotted all over
the United States. These objects
have also been sighted and
tracked in radar from other parts
of the world, like Africa, South
America, France and Italy,
A 30­second film clip of a UFO
taken by one John Sheets of
West Virginia, who was able to
take the picture by accident, was
shown during the latter part of
the lecture. After his speech,
Moseley answered questions from
the audience who kept him on
his toes with their seemingly
endless queries.
Interesting highlights of the lec­
ture:
UFO's are not all round­shaped;
they come in various forms,
cigar­shaped or conical.
By E. Sambo
The Junior National Associa­
tion of the Deaf is currently
sponsoring an educational pro­
gram known as the Deaf Stu­
dent Exchange Program,
The
purpose of this program is to
exchange deaf students among
the various residential schools
for the deaf in the nation with
a view to establishing close per­
sonal association between the in­
dividual deaf students as well
as fostering understanding and
friendship among them.
The
program is also hoped to pro­
vide the exchange students with
an atmosphere where they will
learn to develop understanding
and respect and mutual aware­
ness of different cultures and
ways of life. These are some
of life's essential factors which
are generally unknown to the
deaf, especially those who have
been confined to their home in­
stitutions most of their early
life where outside influence is
little felt.
Appearance of these objects
mostly In rural areas and isolated
places, never in cities, always
cause a power failure. They are
not secret experiments of the Air
Force though it is in possession
of substantial knowledge of the
Saucer Mystique. UFO's have
been sighted by men trained to
investigate; e.g., pilots, astro­
nauts, astronomers. They are not
creations of demented minds, nor
people suffering from ennui.
In an exclusive interview which
Mr, Moseley granted to this
writer, he admitted that his in­
terest in flying saucers began
as a hobby, out of intellectual
curiosity and inclination. A born
adventurer,
he
stayed
at
Princeton for only two years, then
traveled extensively to all parts
of the world to hunt for buried
treasures, be they on land, sea
or mountains.
This penchant for adventure and
mystery led him to his untiring
search to unveil the aura sur­
rounding UFO's. H e founded
S.A.U.C.E.R.S. (The Saucer and
Unexplained Clestial Events Re­
search Society) and is editor of
Saucer News. Currently serving
as chairman of New York's First
Flying Saucer Convention, the
Congress of Scientific Ufologists,
he also writes to such magazines
as Argosy and Fate.
He is a popular lecturer for
engineers and scientists, as well
as for colleges and universities.
As a personal touch, the 37­year
old bespectacled saucer expert
added that he is the father of
five children, enough to keep him
in orbit: Rev, Pokorny, and Mr,
Hoemann, Lutheran chaplains and
psychology instracters, served as
interpreters.
Participants are expected to
spend one academic semester
in another residential school
where they are offered all the
benefits of academic pursuit
which they have enjoyed in their
own institutions. This, of course,
will be done within the scope
of the students' academic ability.
FOREIGN STUDENTS
SPONSOR BLOODMOBILE
Ninety­seven persons presented
themselves as blood donors for
the Bloodmobile project sponsored
by the Foreign Students Club in
the Student Union Lounge last
March 28. Leadingtheproject were
head nurse Mrs, Bothmer and Dr,
J.S. Studenbord,
Of the ninety­seven persons
donating, nine were turned down
because of some illness such as
hepatitis, jaundice, and malaria.
However a total of eighty­eight
pints of blood were drawn. As a
reward for their donation, refresh­
ments were served.
When asked about the success of
the project, Mrs, Bothmer, head
nurse, replied, "We came with the
staff to do at least 125," Thus,
this year's project appears to have
been only a moderate success.
The core of the program is
basically residential school ex­
perience. Becoming part of a
school family involves sharing its
day­to­day existance; its r e ­
lationships,
its
spirit,
its
emotions, its chores, its regula­
tions and its activities and events.
Since institutional activities vary
from school to school, the ex­
change students are expected to
ieam to adjust to new environ­
ments and adapt to new ways
of
life.
This approach will
certainly pave the way for col­
lege adjustment for the deaf
students who plan to enter higher
educational institutions. Obser­
vation has shown that many deaf
students who enroll at Gallaudet
each year come with little or
no adaptfve ability, and as such,
they usually find it difficult to
adjust to college life. This in­
variably is one of the many fac­
tors that have contributed to the
number of drop­outs.
The acceptance of the exchange
students by the host schools is
on voluntary basis; that is: they
are not paid for the instruction
of the exchange students. Partic­
ipation eligibility is given to all
residential schools for the deaf
within the United States that are
currently members of the Junior
National Association of the Deaf,
The
criteria for
selection
of the candidates are numerous,
based mainly on the students'
sociability, some of which are:
natural good manners in day­to­
day living; liking and sincere in­
terest in people; ability to con­
verse spontaneously and openly
with others; eagerness to learn
from any experience that one
meets with enough imagination
to appreciate new experiences;
enjoying study; acceptance of
criticism and advice; sense of
Deaf students g
Other specific qualifications for
candidacy are: each candidate
must be a member of the J r .
NAD; he must be attending a
residential school for the deaf
that is willing to receive an ex­
change student from another
state; he must be at least 16
years old by February of the
exchange year; must have one
more year of schooling after the
exchange semester; must have
excellent health; must have high
academic standing with college
potential. H e or his parents must
be ready to bear transport ex­
penses to and from the host
school. The final decision of the
candidate's eligibility will be
made by the executive board of
the J r . NAD.

Fees are not charged to either
the exchange students or the
participating schools. The only
costs involved are: transportation
and meals to and from the home
school and the host school; per­
sonal allowance; fees or insur­
ance for any inter­scholastic
athletic
activities that the
students may participate, deposit
to cover any unusual expenses
usually required of the regular
students of the host school. These
minor expenses may be shared
among the candidates and their
families, their home schools or
whatever
organizations
that
sponsor their exchange. Medical
expenses are paid by the host
school at a. limited basis. Any
such expenses beyond that limit
are to be paid by the parents
or the sponsors.
Applications for this exchange
program should be made only
through the Junior National
Association of the Deaf. The final
selection for the school program
is made by the J r . NAD based
on a nationwide basis. It cannot,
however give any assurance that
each candidate is eligible for
acceptance.

the inevitable failure of just such

We question the choice of the
play "The Critic". Theeffectiveness of verbal intricacies In Restoration drama depends on speed.
The presence of narrators kills
the pace. This particular play,
with its audial jokes, i.e. the
Alleluia Chorus, a band of travelling musicians, and a dance to
music, seems to us irrelevent
to the deaf, even insulting.
We question the use of poetry
by a threater for the deaf. When

Gallaudet's First Annual CAREERS
Day at the Student Union Lounge
on April 2, 1969 held Irom 10.00
a,m. to 12:30 p.m. Because ol
the enthusiastic response, this
program may be expected to ex­
pand next year.
The purpose ol the Careers
Seminar is to oiler a broader
perspective In the choice ol
careers to young Gallaudet stu­
dents. It is hoped to be ol service
on a nationwide scope lor the
career development needs ol all
young deal prolessionals. The
President's Committee, as well
as l e a d e r s and professional
workers among the deal, have
been greatly concerned about the
extremely narrow
vocational
choices traditionally allocated to
the educated deal youth. For in­
stance, most Incoming Ireshmen
to Gallaudet College, according
to Chairman H arold Russell, leel
that their prolessional horizon
is limited to the same 2 or
possibly 3 choices. The com­
mittee also leels that, as able
and educated young Americanos,
they should begin thinking and
preparing for careers in a much
wider spectrum ol prolessions.
A group ol representatives ol
different industries, private and
governmental, including Inter­
national
Business

Corporation, the National In­
dustrial Council, Sears Roebuck
and Company, Eastern Air Lines,
the National Bank of Washington,
Metropolitan
Life
Insurance
Company, the U.S. Civil Service
Commission, and the National
Institutes of H ealth were on hand
to talk to students and answer
any questions students might have
concerning their future career
plans. Industries represented
were Data Procession, Manu­
facturing, Aeronautic, Retailing,
Airline, Banking, Tralllc Man­
agement, Insurance, Govern­
ment, and H ealth Prolessions.
Each representative had a Gal­
laudet student Interpreter. The
committee had invited a group
of representatives from different
intustries to acquaint the young
people with some basic facts
regarding career opportunities
and
the
prerequisites
for
entrance into various industries.
The interpreters were given
questionnaires asking who they
interpreted for, 11 the repre­
sentatives were co­operative,
and If they have much inlorma­
tion about the specilic industry.
According to Mr. A. J. Reed,
Employment Manager ol Eastern
Air Lines, they must be able
to talk in order to get in touch
with pilots via telephone. Eastern
Air Lines are aware that some
deal people can lipread and talk
with the passengers, but using
the telephone is a basic require­
ment lor stewardesses. Deal
people can work in the mechanic
department even though it is
rather dangerous as they could
not hear the warning signals and
may be injuried.

(Rossum's Universal Robots)
acted by the students was pre­
sented at the Gallaudet College
Auditorum. Gilbert Eastman,
associate professor of Drama
directed the play.
Here's how the story goes:
Domin, the general manager of
R.U.R, fell in love and mar­
ried H elena Glory, The plot dealt
ol Employee Benelits and Per­
sonnel Policies ol Sears, Roe­
buck and Company stated that
deal people can work at Sears
as data processors, computer
programmers, analysists, labora­
tory techicians, etc. H e reported
that there was no specific survey
of deaf workers at Sears in the
D.C. and Maryland areas since
1962, but he leels that the popula­
tion ol deal workers at Sears
presently adds up ­to 300, H e also
mentioned a deal man who works
in the tax department who is do­
ing well being responsible lor
state and local taxes, reporting
taxes to government, lilltng tax
returns, etc. H e believs that a
deal person should be hired as
an individual by equal opportun­
ity. H e also added that he con­
sidered deaf people normal
people.
Another statement from the
representative of the Metro­
politan Life Insurance Co, was
that his company looks for people
who will 'inish their college ed­
ucation, and also would prefer
them to go in training. This
comapny does not require any

majors

people really can do many things

the robots asked Alquist to lind
out how robots were made be­
cause the manuscript was de­
stroyed and the robots would not
beable to increase. Alquist met

posed to be robots and decided
to experiment on them; but Irom
their reaction to being separated
Irom each other, Alquist realized
that they were "Adam and Eve"
and set them Iree instead.

The stage setting was unique.
Everything was in straight lines.
Blocks were used for chairs,
desks, etc. Basic colors were
bright blue (representing the ro­
bots), bright orange (represent­
ing human beings) and grey
(representing the mystery of the
future of the robots of the hu­
man beings).
An eyecatcher was the way the
program book was handled. All
of the names were in social
security numbers. After the per­
formances, the ushers gave out
a 2nd piece of paper matching
the numbers with the actors'
names. The audience left the
auditorium with the feeling of
"Big Robot is watching you."

The Alpha Sigma Pi Fraternity
held its Annual Spring Carnival
on Saturday, March 28, with the
usual pageantry. The Carnival,
which was w i d e l y advertised,
began with a new entertaining
^ p e a l which added zest to the
festive spirit of the occassion.
It was the introduction of comedy
played by Bro. Ezekiel Sambo,
an event never before observed
in the past years of the Carnival.
Dressed as a clown, carrying an
invitation placard, Bro. Sambo
entertained the Gallaudet stu­
dents with jocular plays.
The Carnival town opened its
gate at 7 p.m. and in no time
had it opened that it was so
full with people that every one
was rubbing shoulders with
everyone else. The atmosphere
was quite festive.
The events that featured the
carnival were; baptistry, in­
troduced during last year's
pledge probation, was one of the
most exciting games ol the
lestival. Bingo, cake walk, circle
toss, glass pitch, huckley buck,
mice race, also a new introduc­
tion, penny and nickel toss,
guessing game and zoo dip were
among the other events.
The highlight ol the festival
was the introduction of the carni­
val Sweetheart and her prin­
cesses. After introducing the fra­
ternity's new officers by the mas­
ter of ceremonies. Bro. Sambo,
the erstwhile clown, the new of­
ficers, in turn, introduced the
Sweetheart and her princesses.
The Alpha Sigma Pi traditional­
ly selects the most modest lady
student whom it leels has con­
tributed much to the common
good ol campus lile and makes
her its Sweetheart as a mark ol
appreciation ol her modest
demeanor. The luckiest lady who
received this compliment was
Miss Norene Yayesaki, a senior
Irom Sacramento, Calilornia.
Following her in this compli­
mentary oiler were the lucky lour
who made up her court ol prin­
cesses. The are: Miss Frances
Manzella, a senior Irom New
York and last year's head sen­
ior; Mrs. Ellen Bronson, another
senior Irom San Carlos, Cali­
lornia; Miss H elen Schmitt, a
sophomore Irom Franklinville,
New Jersey and Miss Holly Moos,

Behold this bronze, this tribute
to our Guide,
Our Founder, Friend, and son
of renowned sire.
On whom we gaze with reverence
and pride!
He in our yearning bosoms lit
the fire
To gain the meed we see there
in his hand;
See how his eyes into the distance peer
On greater laurels for the silent
band
Who thru his vision shed new
lustre here!
Here shall his likeness stand
thru coming years
Upon this h a l l o w e d Green of
world-wide fame.
Where faith of his has wiped away
our tears;
Here shall his spirit fan his
altar flame
That may thru ages hence stUl
brightly glow
While consecrated lives here toil
and grow!

HOW DO YOU WANT IT CUT?
In the search for individual
identity in these days of uncertainty and confusion, many
of the students in colleges as
well as universities throughout
the nation seem to seek a solution in some rearrangement of
man's oldest adomment-the hair
on his head. To some, their
hope for distinction may lie in
an unpruned bush of facial foliage,
the languid droop of a Fu Manchu,
the vigor of a moustache, sideburns, or a few sprouts cultivated
in a dramatic splendor along the
chin line.

of a hairstute identity, facial fuzz
has never been enough, not since
the Beatles revived the shoulderlength mop. Desirable as long
hair may be as a symbol of
protest against the existing social
order, another identity might be
preferable in these days when
the gap between the generations
often b e c o m e s heated. That's
when a fellow really wants a
cool head. And if the Mohican
Indian has nothing else, his inchwide scalpock on a shaven skull
certainly left him with a really

GCAA Board Member, Mrs.
Ausma Smlts Herbold, '59, presented a gift of over $2,000 to
the President which is to aid
Elstad in his new endeavor upon
retirement. Mrs. Herbold aptly
described the gift as "Leonard
M. Elstad Rotary Dollars for
Overseas Deaf" since the President has made it known widely
that he plans to get International
Rotarian support for education of
foreign deaf who do not enjoy
the privilege of higher education as we do In the U.S. In
addition, Mrs. Herbold remarked
that the Elstads would be given
a bound volume of letters from
alumni, friends, and national
leaders. Letters were read from
former President Lyndon B,
Johnson and from President
Richard M. Nixon. The program
came to a close with further
remarks from President Elstad
on how he and "Mother" would
enjoy all these wonderful gifts
from a thoughtful and loving
alumni.
The Thomas S. Marr Award
was presented to Rosita Pacto
for her outstanding scholastic
achievement.
The Olaf Hanson and Agatha
T. Hanson Service Awards were
given to Michael Marzolf and
Donna Drake, respectively, for
demonstrating the greatest promise of high character and leadership.
Donna Drake, Mrs. Jeanette
Scheppach, Mary McCray, Bette
Hicks and Hartmut Teuber made
up the roster for "Who's Who
in American Colleges and Universities." They were chosen
on the basis of outstanding leadership, scholastic achievement,
character and service to the college.
The Phi Alpha PI, the college
honorary society, welcomed Rosita Pacto, Pat Costello, Jerry
Jatho, Fred Wallace, Joyce Norwood and Alan Zamochnick Into
Its fold.
Given Foundation Scholarships
were awarded to Rosita Pacto,
Jerry Jatho, and Mary Bavister.

who remarked, "The Gallaudets,
father and son, had an Ingrained
respect for the capabilities and
the aspirations of the deal—from
the most humble to the most
talented—as they really are. And
they were flexible enough to nurture the capabilities and aspirations without trying to force their
own wills on the deaf and their
way of life."

SPEAKING OUT
By A l e x
Slappey
I believe that sports at Gallaudet College could be improved
considerably If a few simple suggestions were followed. In some
cases the removal of certain
points of fiction could go a long
way towards the fielding of a
winning team. Often it is not
the lack of manpower or ability
which hurts us most but rather
the lack of a superior sports
attitude. Not only do I often see
a defeatist attitude here but also
an irresponsible attitude. Which
makes it harder to get a team
to function as a team. One of the
keys to sports is team work and
in most cases it seems badly
lacking in most team sports at
Gallaudet, A team must get together and " j e l l " or get to know
each other's respective abilities.
Team sports were made for
groups, not individuals alone, A
team player must put his team
first
and not himself but
at Gallaudet it seems there is
too much individuality, too many
players not willing to sacrifice
for the good of the team. What
Gallaudet needs more of is team
men, players who will sacrifice
for the betterment of the team.
Too often the major problem,
concerns a player who becomes
"established" and the coach depends on this player to produce,
perhaps the coach even builds the
team around him, then the player
decide to quit for personal reasons, often cited as unsatisfactory g r a d e s or injuries substained. To be honest I believe
that education comes first, but
I also know that sports normally
do not take up that much time
here at Gallaudet and very few
boys study In the afternoons when ,
most practice is done. They generally study at night and some
don't study at all!
When a player quits he leaves
the coach on the spot, since the
coach now has to fill the gap,
probably with an inexperienced
player. After wasting so much
time teaching one boy how to
play that position. He now has
to start all over again, losing
valuable time teaching a new boy
to play it. This is unfair to
the team and the coach. When a
player goes out for a sport, he
should take Into consideration his
subjects, grades, etc., and once
he does make the team, he should
realize that he now has a r e sponsibility to the team and the
college. A quitter is like a
deserter and in the armed forces
a deserter can be shot. Now
I am not saying we should shoot
our deserters, heaven forbid, but
I am trying to point out that it
is not something that should be
taken lightly, it hurts the college and the team.
Often a player will have an
honest reason for quitting, but
many times players who do quit
not only fail to discuss it with
the coach, which I feel is their
duty, but don't even give the
coach a warning. Rather they
simply take off and leave the
coach with one player less, 1
have seen it happen too often,
perhaps because the players don't
have the guts to face the coach,
more likely because they have
no plausible reason.
Another thing I dislike about
some athletes here is that too
often a player will expect a coach
to come up with a " m a g i c " defense to stop some powerful opponent or a solution to a battling
stump. Players should remember
that the coach is here to teach
the players and to give advice
and direct them but it is the
athletes who must do the playing. The coach can't play for
them. No defense, no matter how
good, will work if the players
don't make it work. The whole
idea is for the player to execute
and when the players execute
the defense works. He must
execute by beating his opponent,
because if he doesn't the defense
doesn't work. Many players
blame the coach for a defense
that didn't work when the reason
is the players themselves failed
to execute that defense.
In the first game against Howard
U,, the Bisons were badly beaten
19-6 as our pitchers had a off
day. Howard took advantage of sev eral Gallaudet e r r o r s and sloppy
pitching to run up the score. However, the Gaily 9 bounced right
back to give D.C. Teachers a
lesson, winning 12-2, with a 13
strike-out performance by Lory
Kuschmider, who gave up only 2
hits.
Then the Bisons had their first
home game and after 4 innings
it had to be called off due to
continued
double steal which sent Jeff Lenham
home with the winning nm.
Next Gallaudet took on a strong
Towson team at Baltimore and Bill
Andrew got the pitching assignment. Andrew pitched 6 innings of
solid ball but Towson got two runs
on e r r o r s . Then in the 7th Towson
tagged a tired Andrew for two
more runs and Alan Ander was
sent in as relief. With two out
in the 9th inning Gaily's bats
finally came alive to produce 4
runs before Towson made the last
out at home on the tying run,
leaving Gaily the short end of a
5-4 score.
The next day Gallaudet's Bisons
swept a doubleheader from Bowie
State, winning 13-4 and 8-4. Lory
Kuschmider pitched the first game
and struck out 2 while Joe Anderson
TENNIS A N D
GOLF
fanned 10 in the second game.
Gaily played "heads u p " baseball,
taking advantage of many Bowie
errors.
Then the next Saturday Gallaudet
split another doubleheader with
Bridgewater College. The Bisons
lost 5-3 on e r r o r s in spite of
some good pitching by Lory
Kuschmider
and
outstanding
defensive play by Nick Imme in
left field. In the second game
Joe Anderson limited the Eagles
to 2 runs while Henery Evans
tripled to bring in tow runs and
Mike Hummel singled to bring in
Evans accounting for Gallyls winning run. Nick Imme played an outstanding defensive game, robbing
the Eagles of one possible homerun in the first game and two in
the second game. Anderson got the
last batter out with a runner cai
third by making him pop to George
Sierra at short and Gaily had a
hard earned 3-2 victory.

MOVIE REVIEWS
b y John M e c k e l
Since the last issue of THE
BUFF & BLUE was ten weeks
back, we've got a lot of catching up to do with our movie
column. To catch up, we're going
to make a few changes. First,
we will arange the movies by
listing them under the names oi
the theaters that showed them;
then we will list movies that
they are not showing, but have
shown before. That way, the theaters that have shown good movies
will get credit for good selections. Why talk about old movies? Because these movies will
be shown at local theaters and
in your home town during the
summer and you can catch them
there, that's why. Finally, we
will rate the movies. Please keep
in mind that the rating are for
deaf people and those with severe
hearing
losses
only. We
"deafies" can enjoy some movies
much more than people who have
normal hearing because we can't
hear the inane dialogue some
movies have. Want an example?
Here's one: In the SWEET BODY
OF DEBORAH, Carrol Baker is
shown in the shower with her new
husband on her honeymoon. She
tells him (while nude), "you know
what I want!" Aren't you glad
you missed that? Now for the
ratings:
but very well made and enjoyable. We saw the great ZERO
FOR CONDUCT, and hope this
one will measure up. We hereby award this film an EXCELLENT rating.
EMBASSY: THE KILLING OF
SISTER GEORGE is a film that
we've got to praise. It stars
Beryl Reid, who's a gem, in one
of the best movies of the year.
Film deals with a love triangle
in which Miss Reid (Sister
George) loses her young lover
(Susannah York) to arch rival
Coral Browne. This film has one
of the most disgusting scenes on
film, but the rest of the film
is so good that we'll overlook
it. This is the best example of
a stageplay turned into a better
film we've ever seen. This is
an EXCELLENT film, don't miss
it!
FINE ARTS: we have cooked
