Southern sweetness oozes with
childish charm in the movie-, pres-
entation of "To Kill a Mocking-
bird," taken:Tf:rom the novel by
Harper Lee. The author's retro-
spect of her youth,;:the movie pre-,
ents a hild's first glimpse of bad,
fear,.and good.
Set in a small Alabama town'in
1932, the camera- peers into the
-world and sounds of children;
-Scout (MaryBahdham) 'is a flash
-of a freckled face sik year old. A
denionically fierce and mischev-
ious little girl, (Scout and her
brother Jim ehcounter shadows,
creaks, and sterile myths of Boo
. the mystical neighbor who
stabbed his father in the leg, with
a scissor and, "remains chained
in his bed in the middle of the
room."
Interwoven with- the hidq-'n-go:
seek Boo tale is an adult mystery.
Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck) is
the widowed . father of two. A
gentle but stern man, Peck plays
the wise and self - righteous
widower who contains all energy
and 'epiotion until the climactic
courtroom scene in which he states)
his defense for an accused- Negro
rapist, Ton Robinson (Brook
Peters). The children becorme in-
volved in and affected by their
father's part in.defending a Negro
they. quickiy learn about the1
ignorance and prejudice suffocat-
ing. teir small ibutbern town. Inl
the process,. Jim. acquires - his'
father's firm. and stern- stubbor-
ness while Scout sprouts -into a
i. ~
diplomatic yet tough as nails
young lady.
The plot uses the trial and the
Boo intrigue to illustrate the chil-
dren's introduction to the adult
world, which is sometimes "very
ugly . . . and sometimes very
painful." But director Robert Mul-
ligan never lets ugliness nor cyni-
cism get out of hand; even though
the story has all the elements of
heavy drama, the movie manages
to skip along in the' same pace of
a child. " Frightening scenes of
varying children in the woods
grabbed and beaten by strange
hands, are quickly blanketed by
the 'happy and inquisitive sounds
of the young who have not for-'
gotten, but quietly retained.
The movie is somewhat high in
sucrose content: Scout; little Joan
of Arc, - coniquests a sweating
group of angry lunchers with coy
and- childlike prattle to their lead-
er, Mr. Cunningham . . . this
scence, challenges the viewer's
credibility somewhat. but is com-
pensated for by the, simple twists
of humor. and touching drops of
sentiment throughout.
The music by Elmer Bernstein
is appropriate . . . a fine interpre-
tation is given by the young and
unposed' facial expressions of
Bahdham and. her curious and
alert brother Jim..

of maintaining a high class rank,
threatened with the draft, so they
do approve heartily of their stu-
dent deferment.
"Exemption for student defer-
ment received the largest number
of the student votes. Above all,
students who voted for drafting
on a selective basis do not want
to concern themselves with the
draft during their college years.
Protect Deferments
"Also, students voted against the
aware that some proposed lottery
systems include provisions for fi-
nishing college. However, it is
likely that a similar poll would
draw different results from a
working, community where exemp-
tion is definately not assured."
However, under part II of the
referendum, article B raises dif-
:ferent conjectures, Among the
1558 students who voted for serv-
ice in the armed services, the re-
lationship bewteen the male and
Girls Have No Stake
Robinson said that "BecauseI
women don't have a physical stake
in the draft directly, they can take
a more ideal stand on this ques-
tion. Here, the men seemed to be
more practical."
Robinson also wondered whether
the overwehelming vote in favor of
alternative service was just theo-
retical or an expression of self-
interest. He mused, "I can't tell if
this vote represents a theoretical
support of non-military service or
if it simply means 'I don't want
to fight.'"
Bruce Kahn, one of the referen-
dum co-ordinators, says, "the re-
sults of part II are substantially
what we expected, that is an en-
dorsement of the present system
with reservations."

Hatcher Comments on

day, Hatcher said, "our sole in-
terest here is to be of service to
our students."
Hatcher expressed optimism that
"calmness and rationality will pie-
vail in the University community,"
in the face of the current strife
that is dividing it. "People here
are too intelligent and responsible
for the situation to degenerate into
chaos," said Hatcher.
World in Turmoil
The President thinks that con-
troversy here "reflects the fact
that the 'world is in such turmoil.
We're all so frustrated and wor-
ried over Viet Nam, the draft and
civil rights that it jeporadizes
normal relationships.
"A malaise of unrest and worry
seems to be prevailing. Thus when
any irritation comes along it- is

There is growing worry about
teSoviet Union, Some qualified
students of Communist affairs ex-
press fear that pressure 'from the
USSR's own "hawks" is 'growing,

-The men 'now ruling China

Whle China's internal political
stiuggle continues,' the Kremlin
watches for signs of an upheaval
in Peking which might brake the
anti-Soviet course.
Peking's pleaders watch the
Kremlin for signs of a neo-Stalin-
ist upheaval which might produce
a more militant Soviet regime. The
United States watches both.
And both Peking and Moscow
watch the United States for any
hint of diminished public support
for the administration's Viet

Hatcher said he thinks the
proper answer to strife such as
the University is currently facing
is 'intelligent dmi.ussion. I think
the sit-ins have lost their effec-
tiveness. They've been used so
often and arbtiarily that they
have become ineffective. People
are getting fed up 'with them."
Nationwide Praise
Hatcher also raid that "across
the laid I've pra4sed MAihiganri
students for 'their intelligence and
respo sibility. I don't think there
is any sense in talking abcut a
Berkeley style revot when the Un-
iversity has been in the vanguard
of protecting the rights of its stu-
dents and faculty.
"And.as you know many of our
critics have not been pleased by
our defense of free speech here.
"The Berkeley revolt was in part
an effort to protect the freedoms
of students. That simply is not an
issue here."

Red China's -propaganda insists
that the United States- eventually
will attack the China mainland,
that Viet Nam is just a prelude. An
attack is.probably a distant pros-
pect for Chinese leaders, but to
'them still inevitable unless they
change their course. They show no
signs of changing their course
With its, internal political tur-
moil and economic weakness, Red
China is not courting a clash with
American power. It is being cauti-
ous. But if its leaders are con-
vinced that the clash will come
this could lead Peking to actions
which might have serious conse-
quences.
People's Daily, the Chinese par-
ty's voice, observed recently that
Viet Nam pins down massive U.S.
forces and that the longer this
goes on, the weaker the U.S. post-'
tion elsewhere and the poorer its
prospects for countering Chinese-
supported revolutionary violence
in other areas. This policy, too,
has earmarks of danger.'
Soviet Dilemma.
On the Soviet side, Brezhnev
and Kosygin face painful delim-
mas. Peking browbeats them as
betrayers of world revolution.
Soviet military men watch as
Americans in Viet Nam test wea-
ponry and gain battle experience,
while Soviet surface-to-air missiles
prove largely ineffective against
U.S. air power. They-to say noth-
ing of Moscow's arms customers-
probably worry about the caliber
of Soviet defense equipment.
The impression remains that
within the Russian party there
are hawks, including military men,
clamoring for a larger Soviet role
in Viet Nam.
A larger role in North Viet Nam
-as distinct from the South-
would risk Soviet casualties. But it
might tend to refute Red Chinese
charges, and let the Russians test
their new weaponry. It also would
tend to root Soviet influence in
Hanoi.
Kosygin Pressured
Some analysts suggest that if
the bressuse becamre heavy enough
Kosygin might be; obliged to give
way--or run the danger of being
overthrown by an alliance of mili-
tary men and neo-Stalinists.
Certain elements leaven this
Oariger. From' all, indications, it.
would be a most- uppopular de-
velopment among the Soviet pub-
lic. At the same ,time there is a
growing fear and distrust of Red
China in Moscow.
The Russians probably are not
unhappy that Red China is pre-
occupied 'with Viet Nam
