Bogie Shot Down

Mr. Robert Haller , Director of
Publications at Bloomsburg State
College, recently had an article
published in the summer issue of
Film Heritage. The article is titled
"Peter Gunn: The Private Eye of
Blake Edwards".
Bl ak e Edwards is a commercial ly
successfu l movie director whose
films include: Breakfast at Tiffany's, The G reat Race, The Pink
Panther, A Shot in the Dark, and
Days of Wine and Roses. Less well

known is the fact that before he
made the movies he created in
1958 the television series Peter

Gunn. In its time the Gunn series
was considered revolutionar y in its
use of ja zz and unusual camera
techni que. The continuing characters of the series also exhibited
unusual traits of perversit y and
comedy.

Haller 's article compares these
facets of the television pro gram with
Edwards ' career in Hollywood and
with Gunn , the feature film based
on the TV character that was made
ten years later in 1967. Haller
draws some amazing (or perceptive ) conclusions. He traces elements of Peter Gunn 's character
primarily back to Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious , and the style of
actor Craig Stevens to Cary Grant,
and not to Humphrey Bogart ,
Besides being a contributor , Haller is also an associate editor of
Film Heritage.

Solenb er ^ei* Tour
Robert E. Solenberger , Assistant
Professor of Social Sciences at
Bloomsburg State College , spent
part of last summer lecturing at
Guam Col lege in the Marianas. His
series of lectures, concerning cultural conflict in relation to language use and learnin g in Micronesia ,
were delivered between July 15 and
August 9 at an NDEA Institute for
speakers of other langua ges. Mr.
Solenberger based h is lectures on
exp erience acq u i red while serving
as an Anthropologists of the Saipan
District of the Marianas in 19511952.
Enroute to Guam , he visited the
Marsha ll and C aroline Islands ,
where he met with veteran anthropologists and Mi ssionaries who
gave him informat ion on cultura l
chan ge and language usage in Micronesia. This gave him insight on
his lecture topic and helped him
understand recent developments in
the area of culture and lan guage.
While at the University of Guam,
he traveled to Sai pan to l isten to
the debate in the Con gress of Micronesia. He stated , in a thesis on
last summers travels , that this t yp e
of debate was near impossible when
he last visited the area in 1952, because of lan guage differences.
Upon completion of his lecture
series, Mr. Solenberger traveled to
the Phili ppines and Taiwan , where
he studied Anthro pological developments on those islands.
Before returnin g hom e he attended the 8th International Congress of Anthropologic al and Ethnological Sciences in Japan. He presented a paper thesis "Cultural
Conflict and Language Learning in
Micronesia " before thi s group .

SDS disrup ts Campus

Thoueh small in number. SDS leadsin campus disruption

While the organization known as
Students for a Democratic Society
represents only a minuscule minority of students , it has mana ged to
play a leading role in the violence ,
bloodshed and arson that have exploded across college campuses
from Columbia to Stanfo rd.
Reader 's Digest Details...
Details of how this small but militant group has mana ged to disrupt
college life are revealed in the October Reader 's Digest by Eugene
Methvin of the magazine's Washington bureau. Quoting SDS officials and members , he reports that
the organization 's ultimate goal "is
nothing less than the destruction
of society itself. "
Violence and Manipulation
Met hv in q uotes one speaker at
SDS's national convention at East
Lansing, Mich., last J une: "The ability to manipulate people th rough
vi olence and mass med ia h as never
been greater, the potential for us
as rad ical s never more exciting,
th a' n now." FBI director J. Edgar
Hoover has said: " They are a new
type of subversive, and the ir danger is gre at ."
SDS Tactics
SDS's tactics include use of offcampus issues to disrupt campus
life, the article points out. An SDS
member from Wisconsin put it this
wa y : "We organized dormitory studen t s around rules , and then it was
easy to move them on such issues
as the university's relation to Chase
Manhattan Bank. "
The article q uotes these amon g
specific SDS proposals for disruption of society; picking public fights
with welfare workers;
startin g
trash-can fires and pulling fire
alarms in high schools as "forms of
p rotest ;" makin g appointments by
the score with unive rsity deans and
re gistrars—to "overuse the bureaucracy ;" checkin g out an inordinate
number of books to disru pt libraries and study programs; disru ptin g draft boards by registe rin g
under a false name so "fede ral
agents will spend much time attem pting to track down people who
do not exist. "

Linked To Communis ts
While it purports to follow a line
of 'independent radicalism ," Methvin reports SDS betrays growin g
signs of links to hard -core professional communists. Known comunists havo sat in on SDS meetings
and coachod organize rs since tho
organization was founde d in 1082;
SDS loaders frequently trave l to
Rod capitals; two of th roe national
offi cer s ch oson at lost J uno 's national convention wore solf-proclaimod communists.
Whllo man y SDSors aro actively
ant i-KromUn, they share with tho

commun ist s a common desire to

destroy, to annihilate and to tear
•down, th e arti cle asserts.
Prevent Another Columbia
Citing SDS's role in the recent
upheaval at Columbia Universit y,
Methvin declares that firmer actio n
by school authorities in support of
the anti-racial "M ajo rity Coalition "
would have averted escalatin g violence that culminated in cancellation , of classes at Columbia.
Prompt Action
While acknowledging that legitimate grievances by students must
receive "f ar more attention " from
officials than heretofore , Methvin
says tha t prom pt acti on by students
an d administ rators is a must to
prevent campus-wide clashes in the
future.
Sidney Hook , noted New York
University philosophy professor ,
has said t hat SDS members
"threaten to become the true grave
diggers of academic freedom in the
United States." Only prompt action
by school authorities and the overwhelmin g majority of students can
prevent the grave from being dug.

Film Change
A schedule chan ge has been announced in the weekend film Festival far Sept. 27-29 In Carver Auditorium. Brandon Films, distributor
of Casablanca infor med the Film
Society that the famous Bogart film
has not been returned fr om its last
engagement. They are sending a
substitute Aim , The Maltese Falcon ,
also starrin g Humphrey Bogart.
The substitute film will be shown
on Frida y nigh t at 8:00 p.m. and
as part of the Sunday afternoon
showin g as the second feature with
Gold Diggers of 1933.
The Maltese Falco n, directed by
John Huston , stars Bogart in his
most characte ristic role—that of a
detective , tou gh and shrewd . The
film is considered one of Hu ston 's
best productions.
The rest of the Film Festival

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor:
Here is a news article that appeared in the Berwick Enterprise
on Sept. 21, 1968. It is an article
worth reading by all of our students and particularly by our
"anti-everything people " on campus.
Charles J. Blankenship .

SOLDIER WRIT ES,
'HE DI E D FOR

A GOOD REASON*
BR OWNSBURG , Ind. — The letter left the bride of Army Sgt.
Jeffrey A Davis was marked "to be
opened only in the event of my
death."
Sergeant Davis, 20, was killed in
Vietnam Sept. 4 and his bride of
four months opened the letter to
find it was a legacy for "the guys
with the long hair and protest
signs."
"It is too bad I had to die in another country . . . but at least I
died for a reason and a good one,"
the letter read.
"I died for the guys with the long
hair and protest signs. The draft
card burners, the hippies, the antieverything people who have nothing better to do. The college kids
who think they' shouldn't have to
.serve because they are too good.
"I died so those people could
have a little longer time to try to
set stra ightened out in life. God
knows they need it.
"I died so these members of the
'young generation ' could have the
right to do what they do. To protest , have long hair , go to the college of their choice, wear weird
clothes and run around mixed up
with no direction at all.
"I died so they could protest the
war I fought and died in.
"I died for the United States."
Dea r Edi t or :

In the latest issue of the newspaper you had an article related to
the presence of Jane Welliver on
the R.S.C. campus. Since Jane is
the first blind student on our campus, we all have the opportunity to
lea rn a great deal. In a pamphlet
published by the National Federation of the Blind theve are several
points of courtesy pointed out
which may be of help to both students and faculty.
1. Do not shout or address a
blind person as if he is a child. He
is an ordinary person, j ust blind.
2. He can walk more easily with
you than with a dog or cane. Don't
grab his arm; let him take yours.
.3. He wants to know who is in

the room so speak when you enter.
Introduce him to others.
4. The door of a room or car left
aj ar is a hazard for him.
5. Do not avoid words like "see."
He uses them too.
6. He doesn't want pity. Don't
talk about the "wonderful compensations of blindness." Whatever he
has learned has been by hard work.
7. If he is your houseguest, show
him the bathroom , closet, dresser
and window.
8. He will discuss blindness with
you ii you are curious, but it is an
old story to him. He has as many
other interests as you do.
By observing these few points of
couitesy we will not only be helping Jane Welliver, but also the social atmosphere that makes B.S.C.
the "friendly college on the hill."

Freud And Football
anthropologists, and , as you look
back on their dilemma as far as
football was concerned , their dogin-the-manger attitude was perhaps
justified, for no self-respecting
Freudian could ever have done a
full-dress j ob on football without
cutting some detested anth ropologist in on the gravy.
But had the Freudians been less
self-centered and had they welcomed a bit of anthropological assistance, just think of the monumental treatises by which the scientific literature of the period
might have been enriched, great
books wedding the vision of "Gesammelte Schriften" with the profundity of "The Golden Bough."
Let me set down, in nostalgic
summary, some of the findings that
might have been made, had the
Freudians not been sulking in
their tents:
Obviously, football is a syndrome
of religious rites symbolizing the
struggle to preserve the egg of life
through the rigors of impending
winter. The rites begin at the autumn equinox and culminate on the
first day of the New Year with
great festivals identified with bowls
of plenty; the festivals are associated with flowers such as roses,
fruits such as oranges, farm crops
such as cotton and even sun-worship and appeasement of great reptiles such as alligators.
In these rites the egg of lif e is
symbolized by what is called "the
oval," an inflated bladder covered
with hog skin. The convention of
"the oval" is repeated jn the architectural oval-shaped design of the
vast outdoor churches in which the
services are held every sabbath in
every town and city, also every
Sunday in the greater centers of
population where an advanced
priesthood performs. These enormous roofless churches dominate
every college campus; no other edifice compares in size with them,
and they bear witness to the high
spiritual development of the culture that produced them.
Literally millions of the worshipers attend the sabbath services in
these enormous open-air churches.
Subconsciously, these hordes of

By Childe Herald (Thomas Ferril), reprinted from The Rocky
Mountain Herald.

As I look back over the intellectual caprices of the past quarter century, I am amazed that
neither the Marxists nor the Freudians ever took out after football.
There's not a single book on the
subj ect. It is now too late. In olympian cerebration , Marx and Freud
are obsolete; the atom has taken
over, and footbal l, for the moment,
seems reasonably safe from encroachment, although we may sti'l
see a few flurries; cobalt tracers,
perhaps, for the study of para bolas
of flat passes, but it won't amount
to much because the atom is cut out
for graver duties.
If the Marxists had been more
alert, they could have made something out of football as brutal capitalistic exploitation of the working
class. They might have noted a few
strikes for higher pay and a court
decision entitling a college football
player to workman's compensation
benefits following inj ury.
But it was the Freudians who
made the colossal blunder. You
could argue that they overlook football on the grounds that it was just
too big to be noticed on those Saturday afternoons when the college
library was free for their invasion
of fiction , drama , poetry, painting,
sculpture, music and economics.
Yet why, when the whole town
was roaring over their heads, did
they pay no attention to the emotional frenzy? Frankly, I think they
must have, but the Freudians were
notoriously selfish fellows; they
want everything whole-hog; they
were always extremely j ealous of

worshipers are seeking an outlet
from sexfrustration in anticipation
of violent masochism and sadism
about to be enacted by a highly
trained priesthood of young men.
Football obviously arises out of the
Oedipus complex. Love of mother
dominates the entire ritual. The
churches, without exception , are
dedicated to Alma Mater , Dear

to rise from their seats, shout frenzied poetry in unison and chant
ecstatic anthems through which
runs the Oedipus theme of willingness to die for love of Mother.
The actual rites , performed by
22 young priests of perfect physique, might appear to the uninitiated as a chaotic conflict concerned only with hurting the oval
by kicking it, then endeavoring to
rescue and protect the egg.
However, the procedure is highly
stylized. On each side there are
eleven young men wearing colorful and protective costumes. The
group in so-called "possession" of
the oval first arrange themselves in
an egg-shaped "huddle," as it is
called, for a moment of prayerful
meditation and whispering of secret numbers to each other.
Then they rearrange themselves
with relation to the position of the
egg. In a typical "formation" there
are seven priests "on the line,"
seven being a mystical number associated not, as Jung purists might
contend, with the "seven last
words" but actually, with sublimation of the "seven deadly sins" into
"the seven cardinal principles of
education."

There isn't much to say about the
Huskies' opener against Lock
Haven. The Huskies couldn't hold
onto the pigskin and they definitely
weren't psyched for the game. A
coach can't teach a player either,
but I find it hard «*o believe that
we could possibly repeat last
week's rash of fumbles.
The two teams appear to ¦be
fairly evenly matched. The first
team to hit paydirt could easily
hang on for a victory. The game
should be a low scoring one.
