CRIES AND WHISPERS
(Ingmar Bergman, 1972) 7 & 8:40-AUD A
Considered by many to be Bergman's masterwork. The imminent death of a
woman brings her two sisters and faithful servant to her side. Within this
frame, Bergman hauntingly explores family, devotion, love, pain, and the
constan-t mingling of life' and death. "It stands alone and reduces almost
everything you are likely to see to the size of a small cinder."-Vincent
Canby, N.Y. Film Critics Award: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Writer, Best
Screenplay. With HARRIET ANDERSON, INGRID THULIN, LIV ULLMAN, ERLAND
JOSEPHSOW. In Swedish, with subtitles.
THE VELVET VAMPIRE
(Stephanie Rothman, 1971) 10:20 only-AUD A
Bizarre horror flick for those who want a little after hours action. A sexy,
125 year-old woman, the mistress of a remote ranch in the Southwest, stocks
her own bloodbank with tourists who spend the night. "Audiences loudly,
freely, and obscenely associate with the action on the screen."-N.Y.

Angry famers boo
Secre tar) Bergland
THESE ARE THE ARMIES
OF THE NIGHT.
They are 100,000 strong.
They outnumber the cops five to one.
They could run New York City.
WASHINGTON (AP)-Jeered an
booed by angry farmers, Agricultur
Secretary Bob Bergland softl3
apologized yesterday to anyone in-
sulted by his suggestion that some far-
mers demonstrating for more gover-
nment aid are "driven by just old-
fashioned greed."
Bergland did not withdraw his
remark, however, and he reiterated his
opposition to increasing crop price sup-
ports and insisted that 1978 "in virtually
every respect . .. was a good year" for
rural America.
OUTSIDE, THE city's worst snowfall
in years made conditions even rougher
for those of the 3,500 American
Agriculture movement farmers who
were sleeping by their tractors in their
compound on the Mall west of the
Capitol.
Nonetheless, they paraded 030 trac-
tors around the Capitol, with police
permission, filling the air withi the den,
se smell of diesel smoke.
More than 300 farmers crowded into
the House Agriculture Committee
hearing to hear Bergland. Rep. Richard
Nolan (D-Minn.) told Bergland that he
had been "greatly shocked and distur-
bed" by the secretary's remarks
Tuesday.

"YOU OWE THEM an apology,"
Nolan said.
The farmers roared agreement and,
one jumped to his feet demanding,
"Have him do it right now!"
Rep. Thomas Foley (D-Wash.),
hairman of the panel, threatened to
ave the man ejected.
HALF AN HOUR later, however,
'ten a member of the committee
MAogized to chief Agriculture Depar-
tI~nt economist Howard Hjort for
rearks to him at a hearing last year,
Beland offered his apology for ill
feeAgs generated by his words.
"vant to take this, opportunity to
apollize to anyone who has, felt in-
sulteby anything I've said. It was not
intenid," he said.
The.otesters did not seem to notice.
THErUSS CONCERNED a remark
Berglal made in a telephone inter-
view Tisday. He said some farmers
from we Texas to Nebraska were in
"real trogle,"then added: "There are
others w, have made bad business
judgment paid too much money for
land. I k)wsome people in that
category. ters are seeking publicity
and othersare driven by just old
fashioned gId."
After the daring, Joseph McDavid,
the departmq's press secretary, said
Bergland wasot backing down.
"We just fekhat it was unfortunate
that it was tale in such a way to in-
clude innocen farmers," McDavid
said. "He standby his statement that
some of the demmostrators are
motivated by gred."

Texas) later issud a sttement saying

and called for his rsignaon.

more common sene. Yo represent
that."
