The film is well done, par ticularly the scenic shots of Ireland's rock bound sea coast. The acting on the whole is ex cellent and the story is weak,but believeable. The reason the film becomes tedious ia that no story, no matter how involving or in teresting, can withstand as many emotional ups and downs as Ryan's Daughter" stretches over S.C. pollul date backa lespite the recent clamor, South Carolina's laws to combat water pollution go back to when the state was a British colony, according to a USC law professor. Prof. Charles H Randall, who has just .finished a three-year pro.ect of legal study of South Carolina water resources, says the oldest law on the S.C. books dealing with water pollution was a 17th century statute that prohibited casting Into streams -'any impurities that are poisonous to fish or destructive to their spawn. "Tlhis statute has apparently beens in existence, with only slight amendments, since 1671," Randall said. Randall's report,supported in Spart by funds from the U.S. Department of the Interior, studys South Carolina laws' and the relationships with federal statutes and those of other states. The USC professor's study also "ints out that the Federal Refuse UNITED 1211 BROAD (Hwy OPE N TO'l 9 AM.1 MON. i WE NOW STEREO COMPONENT S .RECLINERS & S LIVING ROOM & BEl SEWING MACHINES ber APE DECKS, REFRIGI WASHERS & DRYERS AND OTHER i sT eands .he three and a half hour course.

'Watching the film, one begins to get the impression that Director David Lean filmed a half dozen possible endings and in, the end could not bring himself to cut a single one of them...Instead, it looks as though Lean strung them all one after the other. In all fairness to "Ryan's Daughter," it is a film worth seeing. The cinematography alone is worth the price of admission. There is one particular scene in which a vicious storm lashes the magnificent rock coast creating some of the best and most exciting scenes I have ever seen on film.

It is is the story tion laws to colonies Act, passed in 1899 making it unlawful to dump solid mateiral into navigable waters of the U.S.. was never very strongly enforced until several Supreme Courts decisions in 1960. His report studies state laws ranging from "the sweeping en vironmental laws of the state of Washington" to Iowa's statues which include the provision of public funds to promote and develop water resources. South Carolina is experiencing population growth and industrial development and is facing some of the same problems that certain laws of other states were designed to meet," says Randall. "Our st ate can benefit from other states' experimentation." Randall said studies on the physical and economical aspects of preserving South Carolina's water resources have been conducted, but his is the first from a legal point of view."

One can look at all this bungling and call it lack of motivation" or just shrug it off. There is another way of looking at the matter--the Peter Principle. As an axiom the principle reads, "In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence." As a book, the Peter Principle (William Morrow & Company. 199) can be amusing, camp or thought provoking. The author. Laurence Peters points out through superb satire and logic the reasons people are constantly messing up and what can be done about it. His basic premise is that a person is hired to do what his abilities best suit. Somewhere along the line this person will be promoted to a position beyond his talents. One of Peier's fanciful examples is Service Industries File. Case no. :1. In 1. E. Tinker, a highly com petent auto mechanic. is promoted to foreman of the shop. Tinker constantly meddles in the repair Competition' for foreign grants open T'he official opening of the 1972-73 competition for grants for graduate study or research a broad, and for professional training in the creative and per b rining arts was announced today by the Insitiute of International Education.

Eventually he gets around to everyone and the theme of his book loses a little humor. Although his medium is satire, the author makes his point without logic Ilaws and with a bite--you are almost certainly a victim of 'entire-life-incompetence". I you are perceptive enough to begin looking at the matter through Peters' eyes, you are ready for ihe solutions.
