Aziz Ahmed, Pakistan's ambas-
sador to the United States, de-
scribes his nation as one making
remarkable progress under re-
markable postwar pressure.
He spoke yesterday afternoon
under the joint sponsorship of the
Center for Southern Asian Studies,
the Center for Research on Eco-
nomic Development, and the De-
partment of Public Administra-
tion.
Ahmed called the emergence of
the world's ex-colonies as inde-
pendent nations "the most im-
portant development since the last
war." The fifty new nations,
among them Pakistan, are seeking
"political stability and economic
strength," he said.
New Horizons
Independence has "opened up
new vistas, expanded new hori-
zons" to the peoples of these na-
tions, Ahmed noted. United Na-
tions Ambassador Adlai Stevenson
has called the phenomenon "a'

... ambassador to the U.S.
revolution of rising expectations."
"The peoples of Asia are no longer
willing- to accept a life of poverty
and disease," he explained.
Ahmed quoted Pakistani Presi-
dent Ayub Khan in calling the
next 20 years the nation's "most
crucial." Pakistan will be "sub-
berged in a tidal wave of totali-
tarianism," he said, if it fails to
"make the grade." Its leaders can
expect tension and frustration
among the people "if advances fall
too far short of expectations."
The ambassador described some
of the reforms being made by
Pakistan in trying to "make the
grade."
Economic Reforms
He said Pakistan's was "a
healthy, forward-looking economy"
as a result of recent economic re-
forms. The nation has been suc-
cessful in encouraging private en-
terprise and investment. The
amount of private investment
which was the goal of the present
5-year plan was attained in its
first 18 months, he noted.
Pakistan has instituted financial
and administrative reforms to
speed its development. The central
government and the two provin-
cial governments of the divided
country have been reorganized and
modernized. Planning organiza-
tions on both levels have been
granted more autonomy, Ahmed
said.
Karl Marx was the man who
"Instituted the present govern-
ment in Russia;"
"Had something to do with the
New Deal"
and "Died some time ago."
Those remarks by shoppers pre-
faced a panel discussion about
Marx on a television program
called "Genius." Short segments
of this, and other programs, high-
lighted Prof. Garnett Garrison's
talk yesterday on the University's
television center.
Prof. Garrison is head of the
television center which has pro-
duced over 600 educational and
informative programs for commer-
cial station use.
Television Network
He explained that programs are
videotaped at the University and
then broadcast over a television
network which includes 49 stations
in the United States, one in
Eastern Nigeria and one in Ber-
muda. The programs range from
nuclear medicine to physical ad-
justment in marriage to Shake-
speare to music.
But the television center has
also done work right here on
campus, Prof. Garrison explained.
A television studio in the Frieze
building enables students to learn
how to use the equipment as well
as write, direct, produce and act
for television.
The medical school employs a
color television closed circuit sys-
tem to show psychiatric and clini-
cal interviews as well as surgery.
Prof. Garrison noted that the doc-
tors said the color on the television
was better than color film and
that they could see more on tele-
vision than if they stood next to
the operating surgeon.

(Continued from Page 1)
The television center is the only
non-profit institution in the coun-
try to have the equipment for
videotaping color television. Prof.
Garrison + explained that these
would be used for programs, par-
ticularly in the medical field.
He also pointed to the closed
circuit television in the law school
which televises events in the
Washtenaw County Court.
Significant Advance
The American Bar Association
has called it one of the most
significant advances in legal edu-
cation in the last 100 years and
is currently investigating the pos-
sibility of videotaping trials for
both research and appeals.
At present, however, videotaping
of trials is prohibited and tele-
vising is permitted only for edu-
cational purposes, Prof. Garrison
said.
One of the center's latest pro-
jects has been the production of
"The Idea of Michigan," a filmed
biography of the University, and
filming archives of campus life.

Today Through Saturday
A dead male body floats face
down in the large swimming
pool of a decaying Hollywood
mansion. A flashback: the same
pool, dry and empty except for
the large grey rats that scoot
across its floor.
If the number of times a film
has been requested Is any indi-
cation of its popularity, then
Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard
(1950) is certain to be a sell-
out. For years patrons have
been asking Cinema Guild to
bring this film back. Until now,
however, it has been unavail-
able.
Those who are going to see it
for the first time should not be
misled by the fact that Billy
Wilder (Some Like It Hot) di-
rected it. Sunset Boulevard is
no comedy. (It does have a few
brief, brilliantly comic scenes-
Gloria Swanson's imitation of
Chaplin, for example.) It is,
in fact, probablythe most re-
lentlessly somber film that has
ever come out of Hollywood. It
is the best picture of mental,
moral, and social decay on film
with the exception of La Dolce
Vita. Wilder, whose poorest
films are those in which he
takes a moral stand (political
or sexual), fortunately main-
tains a dry, sceptical amorality
in Sunset Boulevard. The result
perfectly cast for this role as
Paul Newman was for The Hus-
tlers, there is a flawless perf-
formance by Eric von Stroheim
and a supporting cast which
includes Cecil B. DeMille, Hed-
da Hopper, Jack Webb and a
trio of "silent" greats who help
Norma Desmond (Gloria Swan-
son) keep alive and inhabit the
good old days-Buster Keaton,
Anna Nilsson and H. B. Warner.
While La Strada and Nights
of Cabiria established Fellini as
a great film artist with Ameri-
can audiences, it was the bold
notoriety of La Dolce Vita that
made him known to many who
would not ordinarily attend a
foreign film. This striking por-
trayal of the deterioration of
a young writer who moves in
Roman cafe society had a pre-
decessor which .is still little-
known. Made just before La
Strada, I Vitelloni reveals the
life of the "hero ofrLaDole
Vita in his home town before
his departure for Rome. Mar-
cello and his cronies are bored
young men in a small dull com-
munity and ready for any pre-
text of diversion. Though Mar-
cello and his friend the writer
are presented with some sym-
pathy Fellini is unsparing in his
depiction of gang mores; and
the portrait of the indolent,
