The pay-for-Council issue has
been a political battleground
since last year, when the 1975
Council (then under a Demo-
crat-Socialist H u m a n Rights
Party majority) first took ad-
vantage of a new state law by
creating an independent Com-
pensation Commission w h i c h
recommended salaries for city
legislators.
Republicans immediately pro-
claimed their opposition to the
idea, and much was made of
the issue during city elections
this spring. But the struggle
over pay-the-Council was sud-
denly ended soon afterward,

In his 25-minute talk, Fran-

are "guests in Lebanon who
tried to slaughter their hosts."
President-elect Sarkis also is
a Christian, following the Leba-

Christian president and a Mos-

MEANWHILE, the Phalange
and Franjieh radios both said
yesterday that Syrian troops
moved into the town of Iham-
mana, increasing their threat to
supply lines to the guerrillas'
mountain positions.
Palestinian forces, meanwhile,
were reported fortifying the
town of Salima, seven miles
west of Hammana, as a key
stronghold astride the lines be-
tween Beirut and the mountains.
Sporadic fighting was also re-
ported along the front line split-

THE DEMOCRATS' move to-
ward placing a charter amend-
ment allowing pay for Council
on the November ballot was
again based on promises from
the Republican majority, who
hadt said publicly they would
support such a move.
But when it came to the
question of when to present the
issue to the voters, November
seemed too close for the Repub-
licans, who preferred waiting
until the city elections of April
1977, so that the pay for Coun-
cil question didn't "get buried"
in this year's presidential cam-
paign.

more people can be expected to

FREDERICK WISEMAN'S NEW DOCUMENTARY FILMS
HIGH SCHOOL
(Frederick Wiseman, 1968) AUD. A-7 & 9:45
HIGH SCHOOL is so familiar and so extraordinarily evocative
that the feeling of empathy with the studentstfloods over us.
How did we live throigh it? How did we beep any spirit?
"HIGH SCHOOL is a revelation."-Pauine Kael.
THE TITICUT FOLLIES
Frederick Wiseman, 1967) AUD. A-8:15 only
"A calm, cool, and ultimately horrifying look at conditions in
a state prison for the criminally insane. It is a small black-and-
white picture, laconie abrasive, occasionally awkward and always
compelling. Its content dictates its style, which is that of
honest, thoroughly committed cinema reportage. The result is
an extraordinarily candid picture of a modern Bedlam, where
the horrors are compposed of indifference and patronizing
concern."-Vincent Canby, The New ork Times.
