Page Two THE MICHIGAN DAILY Tuesday, June 4, 1968 A lookat. 'Planet of the Apes' by Daniel Okrent THE FOX VILLAGE'S Planet of the Apes is one of the better films I have seen in recent months. Making good use of its obvious potential, and generally playing down the spots which might make it far less palatable, screenwriters Michael Wilson and Rod Serling and director Franklin Schaffner took fine advantage of a good thing and played it into an entertain- ing, intriguing motion picture.' The premises from which it starts, taken from the novel by Pierre Boulle, was a good foundation for the makers of the film to apply their fitting tools. Charlton Heston (thank God this isn't a "happy" film; too many of Heston's 85-tooth smiles could make the viewer go blind within 15 minutes) is a man on a planet ruled by, well, baboons. True, Heston, a lost space voyager, is an intelligent, almost too sensitive man-but he is a man, neverthelss. And the apes, lorded over by a very con- vincing Maurice Evans, don't think much of men, who in their experience are nothing more than wild beasts. For a little more than two hours, we sit and watch a zany reversal of roles, and groan under the weight of an agonizing load of indignities that our fellow Homo sapiens endures. THE FILM COULD have been an absolute failure if Schaff- ner hadn't seen to it that "subtle" parallels remained uncon- structed. Of course, the reason why it-wasn't turned into an ob- tuse hawking of the standard Hollywood civil rights package is that we couldn't really be told that we are too unkind to our, four-legged (read this "Negro") friends. As Heston is beaten and bashed and otherwise tormented, we see a bunch of monkies knocking around a man. It would have stretched things if the viewer were led to imagine that maybe this is how we treat our Negro (read "four-legged") neighbors. It isn't really that preposterous a suggestion. When Planet of the Apes does stray into moralizing, it suffers. Pre-beast Heston, when he first lands on the alien planet, is portrayed as a misanthropic gadabout who is, looking for a race better than greedy, unloving man; at the film's end he is offering a frene- tic "I-told-you-so" lamentation of the fate of men as he learns of what has happened fo them that led to the apes' placement on top of the evolutionary heap. BUT, GENERALLY, the film stays away from the holy crap. Instead, it flexes its true muscle with repeated flashes of ima- gination and playfulness. The much-ballyhooed make-up for the apes may not be as convincing as that of the straggle-haired neanderthals Stanley Kubrick offers in the opening movement of 2001: A Space Odyssey, but it is far more enjoyable, and lends itself to the mixed society of futurism and backwardness that charactizes apes' society. Similarly, Heston's frustrations-at first, he cannot show his captors how intelligent he is because an injury has cost him his speech facility-are played out and lengthened and stretched and squeezed for all their worth, then are summarily exploded when he utters his first words just before an excruciatingly placed intermission.

Williams (D-N.J.), has announced he hopes the legisla- tion can be included in the 1968 higher education bill now being considered by the Senate Educa- tion Subcommittee. Williams said he has 'invited leading Negro and white educat- ors, sociologists, representatives of foundations, civil rights lead- ers, and legislators to attend a one-day workshop during the third week in May on the problem of integrating higher education.

There isno et- ter place/to accomplish both these aims than the college campus. Ad- ditionally, the intellectual, moral, and social values of those who will lead the nation are molded to a great degree at college, -and this should not be done in an atmos- phere which excludes the Negro." Williams said white colleges have a growing awareness of the need to bring about greater Negro enrollment, and "some of them have made substantial beginning efforts to bring this about." -_ 4 j+ U 4 -v . ililq1 . Hughes, said to be leaning toward Vice President Humphrey. Hughes, who was a staunch supporter of President Johnson but has remained publicly neutral since Johnson's withdrawal from the race, says McCarthy may wind up with 20 of the state's 82 con- vention delegates. Supporters of the Minnesota senator predict their man will gather at least 15 delegates. "Hughes has conceded us 20 delegates but we'll be very happy with 15," said a spokesman for Volunteers for McCarthy. On the Republican side, the uncommitted GOP ticket, is head- ed by Sen.

The situation was relatively calm until two fights broke out last Wednesday between white and Negro students. The school was closed and' all students sent home after police broke up the disturbance. Classes were called off until yesterday. At a ten-hour meeting last Fri- day, the board of education adopted fifteen of the original demands of the black students. The faculty stated that "all other demands not specifically acted upon shall be referred to the citizens advisory board." { } i ) Ending Wednesday 1 TONIGHT at 7-9 P.M. r(p MCA.

Near the end of the day Sch- reiber gave reasons for what he' called "drastic measures" taken by the administration. "There was a definite plan by a group of white students to take violent re- taliation in response to last week's racial disturbances," he said. Schreiber said the crisis forced him to take 17 members' of his staff of counselors and class ad- visors off their normal, duties. "I assigned 12 of them to ac- company plainclothes policemen in their patrol of the halls," he said. "The other five supervised." Schreiber specified that the function of the police was to "only observe what happens and not to attempt to enforce school rules." However, there were re- ports from students that unac- companied policemen were check- ing corridor passes by themselves.
