From James Michener,- we have
come to expect bland historical
novels .written in the style of the
author's Quaker missionary herit-
age. From Julie Andrews, we have
come to expect sickeningly saccha-
rine performances and. a starched
high-collar carriage. In Max Von
Sydlow, we have come to expect an
actor who straits to follow his di-
rector's instructions by .properly
evoking, the mystical image of
Christ. Together, they have in
"Hawaii" (now playing at the Fox
Village Theatre) produced. a
mediocrity which is far less. pleas-
ing f1han the 'suin of its mediocre
parts. . .
It seems that there' are these
pagansvwho, once upon a time,
were. living .on these far off is-
lands in the Pacific. Of course,
they were bereft of Christian' civil-
ization and so Max Von 'Sydow
and Julie Andrews as his wife had
to bring them the Gospel. Why,
the difficulties they go through
are just horrible! Julie Andrews
almost gets flustered.

Wild-eyed England which produced
long bair and short skirts is really
an honest to goodness wholesome
country and they can produce their
own Doris Days to prove it.
The only really interesting part
of the movie is the mountainous
presence of Samoan princess Joce-
lyne Lagarde. Cast in the role of
a native leader, th¢ 350-pound
Amazon veritably thunders through
her part. Nevertheless, her value
is largely heuristic. One can ima-

Knuckles down, feet planted, head
up, rump lowered, the cadence

sumo wrestlers colliding and shov-
ing in an undersized ring.
At a price of $2 a head, this
three-and-a-half hour movie is an
incredibly long and expensive bore.
"'This weekend in Ann Arbor,
there will be a football game, a
concert at Hill, a production by
APA, and movies at six other
theatres. Why anyone would want
to. see "Hawaii" is a source of
amazement.

Along 1-94
By The Associated Press
Sniper fire cracked out along
Michigan highways yesterday,
puncturing tires on six trucks
traveling on I-94. The gunfire, ap-
parently connected with the eight-
state Teamster dispute, hit three
trucks at the Fletcher Road over-
pass about 13 miles west of Ann
Arbor.
No one was injured, however, in
the state's first real taste of the
violence that erupted in Ohio and
Pennsylvania Sept. 12 and has led
to layoffs and production cutbacks
in some steel mills with more
planned.
In Indiana, flying glass slashed
William Ward, 27, of Gary in the
face and neck when a bullet hit
the windshield of his steel-laden
rig near East Chicago.
Pennsylvania State Police re-
ported one truck tire flattened by
a rifle slug near Somerset on the
Pennsylvania Turnpike, not far
from where a trucker was shot in
the stomach Tuesday night. Some
stoning incidents also were report-
ed. In the Michigan incidents, the
truck drivers said shots apparent-
ly came from passing cars, west-
bound like the trucks.
Drivers said the cars had their
lights out in the predawn dark-
ness. Four of the big rigs were
moving, two were parked by the,
side of the road. The moving rigs
rolled on until they came to light-
ed weighing stations or roving
State Police patrols.
.The violence stemsfrom a dis-
pute among owner-drivers who get
