Kropf Releases UAC Prospectus,
Describes Concern with Individual
TOO LONG, TOO DRY:
'Rain Must Fall A Mere Drizzle
By HUGH HOLLAND
By KATHRYN TEICH
Releasing the prospectus for
the coming year at. the newly
merged University Activities Cen-
ter,- James Kropf, president, em-
phasized the .contnuing purpose
of the organization to serve as
a link between individual students
and the university community.
As the prospectus of the exep-
utive committee expresses it, "The
concern of UAC is the student-
the individual, yet the 1 in 30,-
000,. and his relation to the fac-
ulty, administration, the campus
communityi The object of UAC is
to allow individuals to .meet and
to exchange ideas-to learn from'
oneanother on a- 1-to-i basis;"
To implement this design, UAC
is adding to its usual program of,
events. The expected Creative Arts
Festival (Joan Baez has already'
agreed to come); the Symposium,
this year covering "The Future of
American Individualism, and in-
cluding such speakers as Martin
Luther King, James Burnham,
Richard Hofstadter; as well as the
UAC coordinated activities such as
Musket, Homecoming, Soph Show
and Winter Weekend. One of the
major additions to UAC activi-
ties will be the spring semester
Writer-in-Residence program fea-
turing Louis Lomax, author of
"The Negro Revolution."'
The new programming will be
along more individual-oriented
lines, particularly in the area of
academic affairs. "Books and Cof-
fee" sessions will appear about
the middle of this semester, giving
authors on campus a chance to
speak to the student body about
their own works. "Last Chance
Lectures" will give professors the
opportunity of speaking to stu-
dents as if for the last time.
Another service offered is a
free monthly calendar of the Arts,
beginning publication this Octo-
ber.
Kropf reported that the major
concern of 'the presidency this
year would be the best possible
use of space,- both in the Union
and League buildings and on North
Campus. Kropf feels that the
committee chairmen will be com-
petent to continue largely at their
own discretion, allowing the pres-
ident to give his attention to
the Board of Directors of the
Union, and to the University ad-
ministration.
In line with the* orientation of
UAC toward the campus communi-
ty, Kropf has also announced that
the new training '.program for
freshmen will' be directed toward
learning not only about UAC, but
also about the major activities on
campus. He indicated that this
would also facilitate a greater co-
ordination of services now being
offered off campus..
Kropf also discussed the out-
come of the summer program, an
experiment designed to :neet the
needs of campus during, summer
session. Aimed chiefly at the
student who would otherwise have
left campus on weekends, because
of the lack of anything to do,
Kropf called the program a suc-
cess A jazz concert featuring lo-
cal artists, a dance on State Street,
a trip to -Greenfield Village for
foreign students, and a Hatcher
Open House, were well attended.
However, said Kropf, the offi-
cers are still not satisfied with
the response. He went on to state
that "the fact-that the undergrad-
uate population on campus dur-
ing the summer is growing does
not excuse us for the number of
graduate students who found little
in the program to attract them.
Although the summer campus will
retain a different composition
than the campus during the rest
of the year because of the large
number of people here to get their
masters and doctoral degrees, I'
foresee a program that will slow-j
ly grow with the larger number
of undergraduate students that
will be arriving on campus."
Facts would seem to be bearing
out Kropf's statement, for while'
UAC expected 'most of the work
during the summer to be done by
members previously involved in
the organization, the bulk of the
people who did work were newly
arrived undergraduate students.
At The State Theater
Tradition is a fine thing, and
often the safest method is to
follow it. However, there are cer-
tain films which suffer from too
great an adherence to tradition.
"Baby The Rain Must Fall" is
such a film.
Tradition plays its part in three
basic ways in this film: the story,
the casting and the length. Of
these, loyalty to the last destroys
the film.
The plot is drawn from the re-
cently discovered American folk-
myth material source, the Mod-
ern Southwest. In this dry arid
land, with its sparsely vegetated
plains, its ambling space and its
small dusty towns, highly charg-
ed emotions can be dealt with
through several carefully selected
and symbolic characters. The best
example of this genre seems to be
"Hud" (or perhaps "The Mis-
fits"). From "Bus Stop" on down
they all deal with the same basic
format.
"Baby The Rain Must Fall" fol-
lows this trend faithfully with its
locale in Columbus, Texas. Its
characters are local folk inter-
related through blood P exper-
ience. Its emotions are aw and
brutal.
The plot centers around Henry
Thomas, a "born loser" just out of
the pen and his wife. Thomas is a
rock 'n roll player who has to
sing. He also has a mother-hatred
problem. But that's all tradition-
al.
The casting is the second point.
Three big names, Steve McQueen,
Lee Remick and Don Murray. All
give competent portrayals and all
seem suited for the roles. McQueen
shows promise again of develop-
ing into a serious actor of high
quality, but it is the quiet under?
playing of Don Murray which
seems the finest here. But all is
for naught.
The film is too long. Hollywood
developed a tradition long ago
that stated a film should be at
least 70 minutes to 90 minutes
long. Perhaps more, never less
"Baby The Rain Must Fall" is a
30 minute movie that is dragged
out till it quits.
Obviously an attempt 'to -con-
sume time and mimic the fine
work in "Hud," the photography is
constantly replete with arty use-
less shots of birds, grass and pot-
ted plants.
The result: instead of a thun-
derstorm, "Baby The Rain Must
Fall' 'is a slow, obnoxious drizzle. -

A recent study undertaken by a
research psychologist has dis-
closed that student leaders par-
ticipating in protest groups rep-
resent a kind of intellectual elite,
the New York Times said recently.
Reporting to the American Psy-
chological Association at its 73rd
annual meeting in Chicago, Dr.
Ralph Heist said that the student
leaders of campus movements de-
manding free speech and protest-
ing public policies are the cream
of the academic crop.
Dr. Heist and a team of eight
investigators from the Center for
the Study of Higher Education, at
the University of California at
Berkeley, based the report on five
years of tests and interviews with
5000 students in eight colleges
and an additional study of 240
students in Berkeley's Free Speech
Movement.
Dismisses Theory
Heist dismissed the theory that
last year's disturbances at Berke-
ley were caused by outside agita-
tors, saying that such suggestions
probably arose "because people
couldn't credit students with the
ability to organize such a well-
directed and meaningful protest."
On the contrary, Heist insisted
that his study illustrated that the
student leaders would be very well
able to undertake and complete
such a program.
Out of the team's graphs, charts
and statistical correlations grew a
profile of student leaders of "goal
oriented or social problem move-
ments" which the investigators
distinguished from "adolescent re-
bellions."
Unusually Serious
Such campus leaders, Dr. Heist
said, are much more committed to
the process of learning than the
majority of students and are more
independent of their cultural past.
Indeed, because of their "un-
usually serious pursuit of educa-
tion" Henst called them the "nu-
cleus of future scholarship."
In the Berkeley study, for ex-
ample, 69 per cent of the arrested
students surveyed were found to
rank high on the "intellectual
orientation" scale. In a control
group of 150 students selected at
random, the per cent ranged from
13 for freshmen to 31 for seniors.
Majority of Students
Of the schools surveyed three
liberal arts colleges-Swarthmore,
Antioch and Reed-were found to
have a majority of students fit-
ting the leadership prdfile and
participating in - pretest' move-
ments.
At Berkeley and Sin F'ancsico
State, two state universities, both
students categories were in the
minority. And in three denomi-
national schools,. St. Olaf .Cllege,
the University of Portlaid and
the University of,the Pacific, there
were "virtually no protests. and
no students with inIellictual
commitment found in the other
schools."
Heist's study was sponsored by
a grant from the Carnegie Foun-
dation and has not yet been puba
lished. f
