SPECIAL SELECTIVE
AV
By KEEWATIN DEWDNEY
Two "Vietnam film nights" to
be aired next week will include
three films: "Time of the Locust,"
"Why Vietnam," and "Hybrid."
The program, sponsored by the
Canterbury House, Vietnam Sum-
mer and the Interfaith Commit-
tee, will present films both con-
doning and condemning the war in
Vietnam.
"Why Vietnam," a State De-
partment film, presents the viewer
with a candy coated picture of
American progress in the war.
Smiling soldiers distribute food
and medical supplies to the Viet-~
namese civilians in scenes obvious-
ly staged, while a narrator ex-
plains the good being done. In
one scene, the peasants under the
guidance of their American ad-
visor band together to build a
village school.
"Time of the Locust," a wel
known film condemning the Amer-
ican presence in Vietnam, is dis-
tributed by the Society of Friends.
It displays the ugly realities of
the war. Soldiers are killed and
peasants mistreated. The color
and natural sounds in the film
take us more directly to the heart
of the war and its tragic effect
on both Vietnamese and Ameri-
cans alike.
The third film of the two-
night program, "Hybrid," con-.
demns the war, but presents a
private and quite artistic probe
eof thertragedy. It alternates
scenes from a documentary film
on breeding roses and stills of
badly burned Vietnamese children.
Admission to both showings of
the three films is free.

GOY. RONALD REAGAN OF CALIFORNIA answers a question at a recent press conference with
a gesture that seems to typify his attitude toward all the talk about his becoming the Republican
presidential nominee in 1988. He says he only wants to be the state's favorite son candidate but
indicates he wouldn't reject a draft.
