Yankeeisms go home
In Italy, words like "leader," "weekend," "chance," and "best-
seller" have become part of everyday speech. In Germany, teen-agers
wear "die jeans-hose," "der t-shirt," "die clogs," and listen to "die
hits" presented by "der disc-jockey." But as words like "officer
'"hobby," "service," and "outsider"' begin creeping into the Russian
language, purists and protectors of the mother tongue and having good
old-fashioned fits. The latest to defend the language of Pushkin,
Tolstoy and Lenin from foreign corruption like "offis," "khobby,"
"sarvis," and "autsaider" is the Soviet Communist Youth League
newspaper. Vladirmir Vasiliev, chief of the paper's arts department,
said: "I am against the mindless borrowing of foreign words, many of
which not only do not spiritually enrich us, but soil our native speech,
depriving it of purity and internal strength." We can dig it.
On the outside...
Looks like we're in for another typically wishy-washy Ann Arbor
day. We'll have a little sun, a few tame clouds-in short, nothing to
write home about. Temperatures will be on the cool side with a high of
66 and a low of 48. A final note for those far-minded folks who are
already planning their weekends: Break out the ponchos, people.

SAN JOSE DEL LLANO, Mexico
(AP) - Helicopter XC-GID shud-
dered and bucked as pilqt Carlos
Aguilar Lomeli, hunting opium -
producing poppy fields, coaxed it up
a windy canyon high in the Sierra
Madre Mountains.
Four hundred feet above, flying
backup in another Bell 212, Juan
Flores watched Lomeli's machine
laboring in the thin air, its cargo hold
filled with a plastic tank containing
250 gallons of gramoxone herbicide.
"LEFT, COME LEFT, Lomeli,"
Flores called over the radio.
"Straight ahead, now, You're lined
up.
With the 40-foot spray boom barely
skimming the tops of pine trees,
Lomeli suddenly found himself over
a one-acre clearing filled with 21/2
foot high crimson flowers.
F O R F I V E seconds herbicide
drained from the helicopter. It would
leave the field, about 350 miles south
of Columbus, N.M., chemically
burned in 36 hours.
Lomeli and Flores are agents of the
Mexican attorney general's office
and part of a 250-person, 18-helicop-
ter task force waging a ground and
aerial war against opium poppies.
The poppies come into season in
the spring and fall here, the periods
of maximum rainfall.
THE TASK FORCE, with support
from the army, covers a four state
area stretching from the southern
end of Sonora and Chihuahua, which
border Arizona, New Mexico and
Texas in the north, down through the
coastal state of Sinalca; bordering
Sonora on the south, and parts of
Durango, east of Sinaloa.
The man who heads the task force
in the area, designated as Region Six,
is Carlos Aguilar Garza.
Aguilar Garza, who is headquar-
tered in Guliacan, says the area is by
far Mexico's largest producers of
opium, the source of heroin.
U.S. DRUG enforcement officials,
who fly with the Mexican crews as
observers, say the area accounts for
a major portion of the heroin sold in
the United States. Mexico has be-
come the main.supplier of heroin in
the States.

"A FEW days ago, not too far from
here, somebody opened up on olne of
the spray helicopters with a machine
gun," he said.
"One observer was hit in the arm
and we counted 11 bullet holes in the
machine."
Many of the pilots wear body
armor. All are armed, and the
observation helicopters sometimes
carry soldiers who may land and try
to arrest the growers.
IGUILAR GARZA said the poppy
$3,000 a year, although they face,
penalties beginning with a minimum'
sentence of more than five years, in
jail without possibility of parole.
He said that when poppies are not
in season, the same peasants may
grow marijuana.
"It's a simple matter of econ-
omics," he said. "Many of the
peasants believe they have no other
means of income.
"WE KNOW that spraying the
fields and arresting people isn't
going to solve the problem. The
government is moving to find other
industries that can be offered to the
growers as a substitute."
New York City police say a kilo of
pure heroin is cut seven to eight
times before it reaches the street,
where the end product currently
costs about $2.5 million a kilo,
Lopez Garza said that in the first 22
days of September, the aerial cam-
paign resulted in the destruction of
2,341 separate fields, totaling about
600 acres.
"We estimate we're destroying
about 86 per cent of the fields,"
Lopez Garza said. "The ones that
aren't destroyed are the ones we
don't see."

THE KING OF HEARTS
(Philippe de Broca, 1967) 7 ONLY-AUD. A
Our most popular film. A Scottish soldier during WW I is sent to a French town, evacuated except for on
asylum. Meanwhile the fleeing Germans have left a time bomb. The asylum inmates escape, taking up
various costumes and roles. A very funny comedy and a powerful anti-war film-the sanity of insanity
and vice-versa. ALAN BATES, GENEVIEVE BUJOLD. "Delightfully subtle satire-penetrating comedy
encased in a most beautiful film."-Judith Crist. In French, with subtitles. Cinemoscope.
FILM ABOUT A WOMAN WHO...
(Yvone Rainer, 1974) 9 ONLY-AUD. A
Dancer Yvone Rainer wrote and directed this film, a fragmented narrative about two middle-aged
couples. Her dances, although they appear rigorously formal, deal with the idiosyncrasies of human
relationships, and this is echoed in her films, A WOMAN WHO .. . is a complex film, with rapidly
switching rhythms, times, spaces, and characters, causing the audience to sense the connections and
associations rather than know them. "Rainer uses words and images as though they were the some
medium, as though you could start a sentence verbally and finish it visually."-Lucy Lippard..
