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.

Kennedy, a man of real ability, should be
ashamed of himself. George must have
needed rent money awfully bad to do his
share of "Dirty Dingus Magee.'"
The only bright spot In this abysmalflim is
Jack Ela,n, old pro western heavy. 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.
Like I said before, Dunbar, is gonna be a
very busy fellow.

"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.

more drug usage than we hoped to
find and less than we really feared.
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. Larry
Milne'. who is teaching a course
organized in mid-semester by the
School oft Pharmaev MilIne said his
approac'h in the course has been to
try to 'blow the protessor image."
St lie dos not discutss the moral of

system down as far as the fifth
grade level.''
