The Hating Game:
fun with a grimace

Buddha bounces into 1

A column of hatred. One of the
essential pillars supporting the
larger structure. You lean on it oc-
casionally without even intending to.
But hatred is not something to be
ashamed of; start the morning with
a good stiff shot of aversion and
grimace through the whole day. And
,,of course not all hatred is violent or
-damaging. Hatred can be ticklish,
teasing, and tempting. It's so easy
to do, and it doesn't cost anything.
You can form an intense dislike to
most- anything; indeed, the best
hatred is often marked by very in-
dividual quirkiness, irrationality,
and purposeless, personal passion.
Painstaking pettiness, puerile
presumptions, pusillanimous petulan-
ce. (Pretty ponderous prose; I hate
it).
Then there's the fascination with
other people. What do they hate, and
can you make them hate you? Does
anyone else shudder at the sight of
soiled facial tissues, you wonder.
And what about drooling, sagging
breasts, and stagnant Faygo?
To satisfy that insatiable public
curiosity about the lives of their bet-
ters, here then are some pet peeves
of selected local, international, and

philosophy often impedes our en-
joyment of the moment, while in our
concern about the outcome, we just as
often lose the process. We have become

agitated, unhappy and successful.
Buddhism preaches an egoless in-
trospection, where each moment is im-
portant.
Tibet: A Buddhist.Trilogy is a three
part film which depicts the culture and
politics of the Tibetan Buddhist Society.
It is showing Thursday, November 10 at
7 p.m. in Auditorium A of Angell Hall.
The first part, "A Prophecy," is
filmed in Sera-the second largest
monastery of the old Tibet-and

examines the spiritual and political
teachings of the Dalai Lama, Tibet's
present leader.
Tibet was invaded by China in 1959
and the Dalai's administration is now
operating in self-sufficient resettlement
camps of South India. The Dalai has
said, "The future will lead to the rule of
the masses, to a social democracy.
When we look at it from this point of
view, the invasion of Tibet has been
something good for the
Tibetans-providing we can follow the
right path in the future."
"The Fields of the Senses," the
second part, presents an impressive
and moving look at the monastery's
ritual in response to death. The ritual
prepares the dead for cremation, but,
at the same time, it helps the living ac-
cept the concept of death. This part
also examines a day in the life of
Tibetan monks and farmers. In this
way, it mirrors Tibetan attitudes
toward life, and death.

The third part, "Radiating the Fruit
of Truth," is the longest part, and ca-
cerns itself with the Buddhiat
Philosophy by focusing on a ritual
called "A Beautiful Ornament," a night-
long cycle of meditation and prayer.
It is a beautiful and intimate depiction
of the studies and practices within a
remote monastery.
Tibet: A Buddhist Trilogy is, unliI~e
our usual fare, a difficult film to watcp
and comprehend. It is quite long, and
portrays a culture and philosophy
radically different from our owtl,
Rather than interpret, writer and direc-
tor Grahm Coleman has chosen to let
the images speak for themselves. .In
this way, we feel the movie rather than
intellectualize it.
Buddhism has a lot to teach us. We
need to attain a calm and introspection
which has eluded us. A patient immer-
sion into the Tibetan Buddhist society
may provide us the first step in that
direction.

ELL, here we all are again, and
it's time for me to tell you what
I thought about the Martin Car-
thy-John Kirkpatrick-Howard Evans
concert. As though those who were
there and heard these spirited lads
deliver their stuff were not fully aware
of what they thought of it. No matter;
what I have to say is not so much for the
benefit of those folks already in the
know about Martin Carthy and his frien-
ds and work, but for those poor souls
who know nothing about the man, who
are not aware that they missed a
masterly show of music and
Britishisms, and who even now are
wondering what the hell I'm getting at.
What I'm getting at is that, despite
the pleasing sound of Carthy's guitar and
mandolin, it was the singing that we
wanted, and Martin Carthy did not let
us down. He was capably aided by John
Kirkpatrick, who proved to be a mean
hand with a concertina, melodeon, and
accordion as well as possessed of a fine
clear voice.
One of the high points of the evening
was the song they sang together, a
capella, one of those wonderful melan-
choly ballads about a boy who drowned
swimming in an icy lake. The number
doesn't sound very appealing, but there
was something gravely, solemnly
beautiful in the way the perfectly mat-
ched voices repeated the simple story,.
presented in age-old style and sym-
bolism.
Then, of course, there were the songs
which were banned in Malaysia during

the band's Far Eastern tour; which in-
cluded such bawdy gems as "The Jolly
Tinker."
The combination of Carthy on guitar,
Kirkpatrick on squeezeboxes, and
Evans on trumpet provided melodies to
every kind of song from step-dances to
reels to ballads.
If the vigor of applause and cheers
are any indication of enthusiasm, then I
would swear that the audience Tuesday
night was far from disappointed.
This is my final, unqualified plea for
remembrance. If ever: you get the
chance to hear this band of very merry
men, do so; Martin Carthy and Co. are
surely worth the effort.

It takes more than 16 /
months of intensive
training to become a
fully qualified officer in
the Nuclear Navy. You
begin with four months
of leadership training.
Then as a Navy officer
you get a full year of
graduate-level training
unavailable anywhere else at any price.
Navy training is based on more than
1900 reactor-years of experience. Right
now the Navy operates over half the
nuclear reactors in America. And the
Navy's nuclear equipment is the most
sophisticated in the world. That's why
your Navy training is and must be the
most sophisticated in the world.
As an officer in the Nuclear Navy,
you have decision-making authority
immediately. You get important manage-

that most of the men
who operate the
reactors in private
industry started in the
Nuclear Navy.)
It takes more time
and more effort to
become an officer in the
Nuclear Navy. But the
rewards are greater, too.
The rewards can begin as early as
your junior year in college. Qualify, and
the Navy will pay you approximately
$1000/month while you finish school.
After four years, with regular
promotions and salary increases, you can
be earning as much as $40,500. That's on
top of a benefits package that includes
medical and dental care, and 30 days'
vacation earned every year. More
responsibility, more money, more future.
