Dunbar getti, Ian Flemming once said "Those who the Gods wish to destroy they first make. bored." If the films playing in Columbia are any reflection of this community's ex citement level,Dunbar's mortuary Is in for a rash of business. For a while there it looked like the shroud of old or grade "z" films was about to lift. After waving a fond good-bye to "Diary of a Mad Housewife" after its unprecedented two year stay, and bidding Butch Cassidy good-bye for the third time, At The Movies eagerly awaited their replacements. The first to come was the. "The Fonda Festival." The name given to these three early Peter Fonda films is misleading. The only similarity of these films to a festival are the sailors throwing up in the seats in front of you. The films, "The Trip," "Spirits of the Dead" and "Wild Angels," are all somewhat boring and cut horribly as well as worn and hard to watch. The Ritz continues to show only the very best of Walt Disney or the very worst of contemporary flimmaking, "Whirlpool" is no exception. The Palmetto, "house of big hits," con tinues to bring us the very best of films, unfortunately the films are all two to five years old. If these theatres insist on playing old films, the least they can do is get good prints of old films. I have yet to see a decent un scratched copy of a rerun film. As for the outlying theatres, The Atlantic Twin has not two, but four outrageously old and or bad films for the price of two, great deal, be sure to miss it. The Miracle, continues to show Albert Finney as "Scrooge" and if you haven't seen it, do. "Dirty Dingus Magee" playing at the Richland Mall Theatre is a terrible film. The only thing it has over the above men tioned films is that it's new. Frank Sinatra is perfectly asinine as Dingus Magee, and reminds one of his 1930's fiascos as the "Kissing Bandit," and "Johnny Concho." Frank may be one helluva night club entertainer, but on the big screen as a funny cowboy, he stinks. Sinatra is assisted in this bomb by George Kennedy, a former Oscar winner gone bad.

Elam gives a hilarious performance as John Wesley Harding, and Saves this film from being a total loss. Except for a number of drive-ins and "Watermelon Man" (to be reviewed Wednesday) that's the movie situation in the area. The situation is disgusting. Columbia receives films months later than it should. When they do arrive, they've been cut and censored so much that they're not worth seeing. "Getting Straight" played at two Columbia area indoor theatres, while it ran at one of them, a scene showing Elliot Gould, a white man, making love to a black girl, was cut. It made no difference that the film was filled with Gould making it with Candice Bergan, a white girl. The examples could go on all night. Films also get here late "Watermellon Man" was released more than six months ago in New York. No one expects Columbia to have the same accessibility to films, but Godfrey Cambridge could have walked from New York to Columbia in six months. The alarming thing now is that the area theatres are beginning to bring back old films. These may be good flicks, but once is enough. The prices are generally the same and the fees the theatres pay is much less on an old film, shades of a rip-off. As if all this isn't enough, no one can figure out what's happened to Catch 22, released in the early part of the summer and yet to be seen in town. Maybe its not patriotic enough to be shown in Columbia, where the army rents a theatre and shows a pre-release film "Tora-tora-tora" about Pearl Harbor.

Drug pro] "There's no question in my mind that we've got some real problems," University President Thomas F. Jones told a special legislative committee studying drug problems in the state Wed nesday. "It's not just the University's problem--it's the state's problem." he said, citing the results of a drug survey which showed a higher percentage of use of marijuana by incoming freshmen surveyed this summer than by a group of students already at the University in February. "One of our jobs right now is pulling this problem from under the table and the rug," he said. Jone: recommended legislation, which would guarantee con fidential treatment for persons who seek counseling for drug problems.

In all probability, next spring's survey will show greater usage." he said. In handling drug problems, Witten said. "If it seems to be an individual case we try to handle it through counseling. On the other hand. if there seems to be illegal drug traffic we send information to law enforcement agencies." When asked by one of the committee members if the University has a means of seeking out drug abuse on campus. Witten replied. "No. We're an educational institution. That's a law en torcement matter." One of the student witnesses said, "In Columbia it's really easy to get drugs." She said she has never met anyone who has taken heroin. "People I know use amphetamines. barbituates and hallutinogenic drugs. I don't know anyone who take LSD." Another student who called marijuana "a big fad." said there's "a lot of it on campus and a lot ott campus. In cases where I've seen people smoke every day. they get more lackadaisical. they care less, they flunk out. I think it all goes back to the psychological tactor. I you're a weak person you're going to smoke or drink y'ourselt to excess. It's the same with marijuana." Student Hodv President Mike Spears told the committee that - o this campus. kids smoke in their dorm rooms." He said there seems to be a direct linkage bet' ween "'those people who use marijuana and those who seem to get turned oftt to the establish ment.'' Spears said a problem results when a person realizes he could be put in jail for something he entoys and doesn't see as any' more ot an evil than alcohol. Hie said he thinks that on the US(' campus more students are using marituana this year than last year. and that it's more prevalent in the reshman class. Also testifying were I)r.
