, 'Every way you move they got you' I. ..

by Lou Chapman

According to Dick Grt!gory, no school in America is worth anything, and the only reason you might think it is, is because you 're probably crazy. >- According to Dick Gregory, you must be crazy to think you can find your roots by going to Africa, when you have a cousin around the corner you haven't talked to in three years.

According to Dick Gregory, the Watergate conspiracy was set up by the CIA to force Richard Nixon out of office; Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and the other founding fathers built .the u ·nited ~ States on "twisted astrology" and evil magic; and if the Three Mile Island incident had been an accident, ''the government would never have told you about it."

Gregory spoke non-stop for ~ three hours Thursday night, Feb. 21, at St. Cajetan's on the Auraria campus as the highlight of Black Awareness Week. The Black human rights activist and social satirist covered a gamut of issues from CIA heroin conspiracies in Vietnam and Guayana to believing in a pure, non-meat diet, fasting and a faith that the whole United

...

States has gone crazy.

Referring to deaths in recent years within the Rockefeller family, Gregory said: "There's a hit going down, and when that craziness starts goi~g on up

there ... you know things have all gone wrong.''

But there is one way out, Gregory said, one way to combat the evil and insanity on which America is based: " It 's so easy to get around it, " he told a standing room only audience, "go inside yourself... try to understand real love ... that's the only thing that's going to save you."

~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'All you got left is self' Gregory's talk flowed with the unique talent he has to intertwine satire and barbed comedy with documented, logical · and frightening commentary.

The only thing Americans know about George Washington, Gregory-said, is that he chopped down a cherry tree and had wooden teeth; a sad statement considering he's one of America's most important men.

Why can't President Carter, 0 Gregory asked, have the energy of ii5 the Pope? ~ "Does being Baptist make that ~ much difference?" he wondered. .!

from the slough trough of the federal government, the CIA, and the FBI. The recent visit of the Shah to the U.S., he said, is a fine example.

¡attrition have become key issues

by Karen Breslin

/ MSC must enroll 450 additional full' time students before June or return $320,000 to _the state, MSC President Donald Macintyre told,faculty members Feb. 20.

MSC fell short of full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment projections for spring semester. Funding for MSC is ._ based on those projections and unless the numbers are met, funds will have to be returned to the state, Macintyre said.

Macintyre urged faculty members to develop plans to increase enrollments and provide additional educational programs for Denver. ,.

"Where we stand right now, we must add an additional 450 to our rolls.

If we fail," he told the faculty, "the consequences will be rather dire to the institution."

1 This year MSC was funded as one of four institutions in the Consortium of > State Colleges. The four institutions in the Consortium (Western State, Adams State, Mesa and MSC) were funded as a block based on enrollment- projections for the four schools. Therefore, funds from schools with declining enrollment (MSC, Adams State) could be sent to '" schools with student body increases: Western State and Mesa.

The Consortium was given a two percent margin of error on enrollment projections. The question at this point,

according to Macintyre, is if the enroll- isn't a monumental problem." ment declines at Mesa and MSC will stay A major concern for Macintyre is withip that two percent limit. the number of students MSC loses each "It appears we will (stay within the semester. limit) only if we at Metro make up the "We must seriously address the serious gap," Macintyre told the .faculty. problem of attrition," he told the faculty In a later interview Macintyre audience.

Income tax help availablefor students .on Auraria campus

by Karen Breslin

Free income tax preparation will be available on campus through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program beginning March 8.

V,IT A is a nationwide taxpayer assistance program conducted by the IRS and co-sponsored by colleges, universities and community organizations, MSC is one college sponsor.

The two-year-old MSC program permits accounting students to gain experience and collect 2 to 3 credit hours while preparing the returns, according to Irving Finkel, accounting professor and VITA sponcer at MSC. The 10 to 15 students participating in the program will conduct sessions in the Auraria campus library on Saturday, March 8 from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Sunday March 9, from lp.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Students preparing returns for credit must also work on

the administrative end of the program, such as preparing questionnaires and organizing publicity, Finkel said.

VITA volunteers are requesting certain persons who would like VITA to process their returns, fill out a questionnaire prior to attending one of the sessions. Persons earning over $12,000 and filing single; married persons earning over $15,000; or those with over $400 in interest or dividends need to fill out a questionnaire, Finkel said.

Those returns, Finkel said, are likely to be more complicated and require additional information to prepare the the return. The questionnaires are available from the accounting department. · Response to last year's program varied, Finkel said.

Business was slow until stories appeared about VITA in the Rocky Mountain News and on a local TV station. After the publicity, over 150 persons showed up for one o_f the fourhour sessions. This year, Finkel _said, he's preparing for 100 persons per session.

But Gregory ties it all together as he talks. With his style and his fact~ and his attribution, it is all more than conjecture or coincidence. When he draws a conclusion, it's hard to tell where he began his logical sequence and deductive reasoning or if the conclusion itself is only part of a larger scheme, but it makes sense. It's all tied in, he seems to be warning, it's all related.

-"Every way you move, they got you,'' he told his midience, respectful all night and now very quiet. "And all you got left, is self."

Day set aside for particularly crafty women Aurarian women will be featured at Women's Arts and Crafts Day, April 16.

The event is being sponsored by the Associated Women Students of Metropolitan State College.

Women who would like to sell their works or have them displayed should contact the A WS office, Room 352 of the Student Center, or call 629-3317 to reserve a table.

The lrepo African Dancers and Drums performed a 1000-year-o/d dance of welcome before Dick Gregory 's talk. Also preceeding Gregory was • --i\fucussa Arham Kahn, a Bla~k poet and writer from Denver.

Dick Gregory continued from page 1 Why, when photographers weren't £. allowed into the hospital, did they send Barbara Walters instead of a print journalist ''who could really describe what he saw there?"

About the Shah's move to Panama, Gregory added: "Now, Panama ain't never been -< known for cancer research ... and he looks so well and healthy.' ' Gregory let the implication hang in the air above the heads of the approximately 500 people.

The government, he said, is practicing genocide including promotion of 1 birth control pills that systematically cause uterine cancer; pantyhose that suffocate the vagina and cause infection and possible death; men's tight briefs that cause sperm to be killed because the briefs prevent the testes from dropping in the sac when the temperature of the ... sperm gets within two degrees of body temperature; the swine flu vaccine hoax; urging increased use of sugar, which causes learning problems and hyperactivity for children; and federally-funded abortions meant to stop the propagation of the poor and the minorities. r "What they are doing to you now," Gregory said, "went on the drawing board 60 years ago ... to them you are animals, roaches, bugs."

What is happening in America, Gregory explained, is not a matter of racism or sexism. It has, he said, gone far · <.. beyond that.

"The problem," Gregory said, "is that America is morally and spiritually bankrupt.''

In Dallas, the day John F . Kennedy was shot, three men dressed like winos were arrested near the assasination site, were booked as "John Does" by the Dallas Police Department, and were released that afternoon. Gregory showed a photograph taken that day of the three men being arrested. Next to that photograph, he held a photograph of two Watergate figures. Two of the winos bore uncanny an~ incredible likenesses tt> E. Howard Hunt and William Sturgis, two ex-CIA men very much involved in the operation of the Watergate scam.

Gregory said he had photographs and proof that John F. Kennedy died in 1971 on the private island of Aristotle Onasis and Sen Edward Kennedy was at the funeral .

The CIA and FBI, he said, run the country. Why else an investigation of the congress? When was the Mafia ever busted?

George Qush, former director of the CIA, is the final step up for the organization, Gregory said.

"And putting Bush in the White House, is like letting a child molester babysit for you," he advised.

Isnt it odd, Gregory asked rhetorically in a smooth, melodic voice that never faltered during his talk, that the people found dead at Guayana, over 900 people, were found face down after allegedly taking cyanide, a poison that makes you writhe and gasp with pain before you die?

Isn't.it odd that the U.S. Army has admitted developing LSD-25 over 35 years ago and Timothy Leary, the man credited by the press and the government with "turning on America," was a West ·Point man?

National conference has reason for being held Do college students reason as well as they should?

A natioqal conference of Reasoning, Piaget, and Higher Edm::ation will be April 10-11 at the Holiday Inn-North, Denver. This is the first time a national conference will address the implications of Piaget's r.esearch on the teaching of reasoning skills in higher education, according to Dr. Rodney Killian, conference coordinator.

Piaget, a noted Swiss psychologist, did research that developed four phases in the development of coghitive skills.

Further research has found that 60 percent of college-age students have not yet reached the final phase of Piaget ' s analysis.

Registration deadline is Feb. 29. The fee is $75. Late registration is subject to a $10 late fee. For information and to register write: Dr. C. Rodney Killian, Metropolitan State College, Box 40, 1006 11th Street, Denver, Colo. 80204, or call 629-2533.

by S. Peter Duray-Bito It's Marathon time again!

What fun to drive past the downtown May D&F and gawk at our KVOD heroes drumming up money for live classical music in Denver. And imagine being able to request your favorite piece to be aired on Denver's premiere classical station. The excitement, the festivities, the glamor-all for a truly virtuous cause.

Dream on, Denver.

The- realities behind serious music in Denver involve a lofty segment of the population that feels compelled to secure their own status by jumping on the Marathon bandwagon: the Bronco box-seat season ticket holders who say, "I.M.

It is time for another classical radio station in Denver.

Incessant DJ babbling, dragging, obtrusive commercials (commercials can be made tolerable and shorter), records with scratches more rhythmic than the music, and a nerve-wracking carrier trequency (the high pitched whistle should be the radio station's first job to suppress and keep suppressed), keep my FM dial away from 100.

This is not to say KVOD is not a good radio • station. By cleaning up their technical act and eliminating the Hal-and-Charley DJ mentality, KVOD could become a beacon of culture for the West. But the only way we can expect them to shed their complacency is by throwing in some good, healthy, all-American classical radio station competition.

Polyester politicos plunder light rail

by Sal Ruibal

Coming soon from the folks who brought you the fabulous grid system, ice cold bus stops and inane poetry for inane buses: the RTD Light Rail System!

No, light rail is not a low-calorie version of those heavy old rails. It's supposed to be a commuter-oriented railway connecting downtown Denver with the suburbs.

Instead it Has become, even before its official birth, a political boondoggle that has every minor-league porkbarrel politician from Littleton to Louisville drooling down their K-Mart polyesters.

The legislative jackals moved in on light rail when the RTD board cut its own throat with internal investigations and sexual hanky-panky. The smell of blo~d

was too much to resist, even for politicos wrestling with such life-or-death issues as the illegalization of roach clips and rolling papers.

Without adequate leadership, the RTD board is at the mercy of a small number of self-appointed transportation experts in the statehouse. Each of these experts has independently come to the same conclusion: the light rail system should be initially constructed from their respective district to dowl)town Denver.

State Senator Boone Doggle (R-Federal Heights) would like to see the system run directly from the Sunshine Aluminum Real Estate Pavilion in his district to the Amoco Building downtown.

Under Doggle's plan, most of the buildings in the downtown area would have to be dest(oyed to accomo-

Letters UCD referendum author encourages positive vote Dear Editor: As this section of THE METROPOLITAN reaches the newsstands, a referendum is underway at the University of Colorado at Denver. Students have the unique opportunity to decide if they wish to have a voice in determining the amount of their student fees and how fee money will be spent by student government.

Last month, 1265 students signed a petition calling for this referendum, but the changes won't become effective unless the ballot questions receive a majority of "Yes" votes during voting on Wednesday and Thursday.

The referendum also addresses the issue of the nearly absolute authority of student government's ruling body, the Executive Council. Students will be voting on constitutional changes which would establish a fair and reasonable process of binding appeal of Executive Council decisions. Since conflict is inevitible in any organization, it makes sense to establish a process where compromise is encouraged and conflict can be resolved.

This referendum is the result of efforts of members from three UCD student organizations and the referendum proposals have received the endorsement of top officers of a number of student groups as well as the directors of two UCD student programs. We-invite you to read the referendum ballot and explanation and we urge you to vote to give students a greater voice in deciding how their money is used.

Please, help us, We are the family of a six-year-old Norfolk Pine.

He was a healthy, growing child, and has been missing from our home since the evening of Februray 18th.

"Piney," as we call him, came to us from a nursery in June, 1974. At that time our home was in a run-down second story office on 13th and Glenarm. Piney was not well when he came to live with us-his little limbs were weak, and he was barely twelve inches tall. There were many times during his first year when many of us felt Pihey would never live ... his brother and sister, whom we got from the nursery at the same time . .. withered and died. But Piney put up a good· fight, and with loving care, he returned to good health, and has been a delight to all who love him.

Piney has been spending a great deal of time in the sunshine by the West Window on the second floor of our new home in the PER Building. He seemed to thrive in the ·sunshine, and this winter, he developed several beautiful limbs which were a lovely shade of green. We are so proud of him.

But one morning when we arrived, our Piney was gone, and all that remains is the large brown flower pot in which he stood.

Will you help us? If you should find Piney wandering around campus, or if you know of someone whom Piney might have followed home, please aid in his return. His family will ask no questions. His return will be our only request.

Maybe one morning when we arrive at work, Piney will again be standing looking toward the West, awaiting the afternoon sunshine.

support: goals of new Women's center

by Joa_n Conrow

I

The MSC Women's Center, opening this week, will provide another Auraria source of practical help and emotional support for women.

The Feb. 28 opening will establish a second service to meet the special needs of women at Auraria; UCD has had a Women's Center since 1972.

Although the two centers have similar objectives, their directors said they are not in competition, and plan to work together cooperatively, but independently.

"I would hope that the Women's Centers could merge a lot of their hopes and dreams and goals for the future," said Dee Aday, director of the UCD center. "Ideas grow; energy is contagious.''

Megan McClard, director of the MSC Women's Center, said MSC will have a larger staff and provide some different services than UCD. "Most women are going to school for v«y practical reasons," McClard said. "Many go part-t\me.'And they go at considerable personal expense. I think we owe them something good in return.''

Besides being. someplace for women on campus to be together to share "their problems and ideas.-and energies," Mcclard said she hopes the Women's Center can serve soine of the practic<tl aJ'd emotional needs of women students.

To determine what services and programs should be emphasfaed at the ~ center, it surveyed 305 students last October.

Using a questionnaire, the center received answers from both male and female students of varying ages and marital status. Both part-time and fulltime students were included.

"What we're dealing with is not a homogenous campus," McClard said.

"Each one of those groups has some particular needs we need to address. " McClard said the study showed women wanted and would use personal and legal counseling, and workshops in decision making, communication skills, and money management. High priorities for almost all women respondents included learning about career fields and improvement of self image. Mcclard said services in those areas will be provided by the center.

Aday said the highest priority of

ROTC summer camp offered to Auraria students The Department of Military Science (Army ROTC) at MSC has announced that applications are now being accepted for students to attend the 1980 Army ROTC summer Basic Camp at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

MSC, UCD, and Community College students planning to attend a fouryear institution next year are eligible to attend. By participating in the Army ROTC summer Basic Camp, students have the opportunity to skip the first two years of the Army ROTC program. Upon completion of the six week camp, students qualify for enrollment in the Army ROTC advanced course, although there is no obligation to do so.

Pay for the six weeks is approximately $450. The camp is conducted in

UCD's Women's Center is to provide support ''for women who are really bogged down with all the Wonder Woman responsibility that being a wife, mother, and student entails.''

She said a female meets very different pressures than a male when. going to school, especially if she has children. ''A woman comes in here and her life is all tied up in. knots," Aday said.

"She wears so many hats and so many different labels. You can only untie one knot at a time."

Aday said UCD's Women's Center is used by a lot of people, both male and female. She said the support provided by the center has helped people stay in school, and has assisted students returning to school.

Both McClard and Aday said an important objective of the two centers is educating the student body and faculty about the changing role·of women in our society.

For this purpose, material is available for use by departments of the college, McClard said.

With the assistance of the Auraria Media Center, the MSC Wo~ert's Center hopes to produce video tapes on topics such as rape, abortion, family violence, and divorce, according to the center's 0~ February 1980 proposal to its Advisory ''for women who are really bogged down with all the Wonder Woman responBoard. sibility that being a wife, mother, and student entails.

half-way down the hall and someone approaching down a hall around the corner.

Books carried by night students seem to be thicker and heavier than during the day: accounting, computer programing, mathematics.

Briefcases and suits replace knockaround clothes and disco outfits; relaxation is mixed with determination.

In the Student Center cafeteria ·one evening at 7 p.m., 26 tables were occupied. At 23 of those tables, everyone was studying intensely. At three tables, people were eating. At four of the 26, people were studying and eating, with divided attention to both.

It's different, Auraria at night.

William Schawo is a rancher from Briggsdale, Colorado, a town half-way

• between Ft. Collins and Sterling. Once a week, 37-year-old Schawo drives the 100 or so miles into Denver to work part-time for the American Reye's Syndrome Association and attend a night class at UCD. The class is one of the few of its kind, a course teaching management of small, non-profit corporations, and it is offered only as an evening class.

Elaine Spielo ·attends classes in the MSC art department at night because the classes she needed weren't offered during the day. Besides, she's sort of a night

"Everything at night doesn't seem so rushed," she said. "Everyone's my friend .. .it's nicer."

Marshall, who has attended the University of Denver's law school and Colorado State University in Ft. Collins, said Auraria at night is "exactly like

"It's definitely a college at night," said Marshall, who would like to make a career in theater after nearly two years as

"People say hello," Buechel added, · glancing around the quiet, almost somber cafeteria. "Classes are smaller and it's very, very friendly.''

Unfortunately, there is another side to night classes.

What about the admissions and records offices and the financial aid offices that close at 5 p.m., and the MSC academic advising office that also closes at 5 p.m. except on Wednesdays when it's •open until six?

And what about the darkness that comes with night classes, shrouding the parking lots and, for some people, making the trek from classroom to automobile particularly frightening?

Views differ·on collegiate theater

by Rosanne Simborski Irony may be subtle and difficult to convey from the stage, but behind the scenes, in the academic structures of Auraria theater, irony is pervasive.

Casting of MSC productions is limited to Auraria students; UCD, on the other hand, has open auditions, encouraging participation by actors beyond the Auraria campus.

MSC faculty members assisting with student productions are not compensated for their efforts but UCD faculty members working on productions have their teaching loads reduced.

The MSC Players, a student theater organization, is funded only through student fees. MSC has no theater department, no major or minoi: programs of study. (However, a contract major in theater is available.) MSC theater courses are in the hands of the speech department and are usually taught by faculty members who assist and advise the MSC Players.

According to Robert H. Coulson, MSC ;issociate professor of theater, the Players benefit the college and other Auraria students. They offer an educational experience for students· interested in theater, Coulson said. He donates his

····~

time to the Players because the productions offer a "good, solid learning situation" for students.

"People have to have a place to learn someplace," Coulson said.

Jon Walter, MSC associate professor of drama, is the other advisor to the MSC PlayerS' and shares Coulson's sentiments about MSC theater: "It's an educational theater," Walter said, "We're training people."

"Educational theater-that's bullshit,'' said Brad Bowles, chairman of UCD's theater department. "If you'r~ going to do theater-do theater."

ductions. Therefore, all roles are not filled by students, even though UCD has._ a theater department offering a major and minor.

Bowles said productions suffer when only inexperienced students are used. He said he cannot make the differentiation between educational theater and professional theater.

According to Bowles, two-thirds to three-fourths of the people used in UCD productions are inexperienced; the remainder are professional people. He said because UCD is not a specialized theater school, people other than students are needed to stage a · production.

Bowles said the different segments of local theater-professional, semiprofessional, community, and educational-offer UCD a good cross section of actors.

"The more you cross-fertilize back • and forth, the more healthy theater is,'' Bowles said.

Laura Cuetara, UCD assistant professor of theater, said her views differ from those of Bowles. For her, the educational aspect of college theater seems to be more important than the idea of using · professionals to mount a production.

''Educational theaterthat' s bullshit. If you're going to do theater-do theater.''

"In what!ver capacity I can get students involved, I will," Cuetara said.

Bowles and Cuetara receive "release • time" for their production efforts at UCD. If their normal teaching load is three courses, it is reduced by one while producing a show.

"If you have to teach three or four courses and produce a show," Bowles said, "you can't do justice to any of them."

At MSC, however, Coulson and Walter each teach a minimum of eight courses per year; in the same period, without compensatio.n, they assist with three or four student presentations. · "Time, money- any form of remun-• eration-is nil," Coulson said.

When Coulson and Walter are workmg on ~ show at MSC, they sometimes work every night for eight weeks.

According to Coulson, a separate theater department at MSC could help_ the situation, but student involvement in' MSC theater is not large enough yet to sustain a full department.

"Are you going to establish a large, complete, viable theater major and minor so that you attract a large number of st\,1dents," Coulson asked, "or are you... going to wait until you get enough students corning in for other reasons?"

Walter said the time he gives to productions represents MSC as well as himself and Coulson.

"You could give up,'' Coulson said, "and then there would be nothing." ~ Together, Coulson and Walter have taught at MSC for 24 years and have helped with about 35 extra-curricular productions.

DSO symphoQ.ic status reaching the big league

by S. Peter Duray-Bito With the Denver Symphony Marathon coming up, what better time to feature the symphony's own soloists?

That was the program last Saturday evening and it proved to be an auspicious occasion to look at the present development of the DSO. By all accounts the symphony is looking good.

Conductor Gaetano Delogu· has added his knowledge and expertise to give the orchestra a no-nonsense approach to making music. He conducts with fervor and grace and neatly avoids the tiresome showmanship of his predecessor, Brian Priestman. Delogu is out to extract every little bit from the orchestra and then some.

For example, . in the second movement of Mozart ' s Jupiter Symphony, the last selection of the evening, Delogu seemed to be trying to evoke a deeper meaning in his carefully drawnout expressions . The orchestra was ~ unsure of the mood and dutifully played ~ the movement, but without the added ~ expression.

5 Later, during the tumultuous final movement, the execution was nearly flawless , with counterpoints of massed violins and celli/ double basses building to Mozart's original vision of divine creation.

Jesse Ceci, the orchestra's first violinist and concertmaster, took on the task of Beethoven's gruelling Concerto for Violin and Orchestra. The piece, filled with lightning runs to test the virtuoso, was one Ceci had always dreamed to play. He got his chance and performed well, but the piece is clearly beyond his capabilities.

Ceci's main problem was his tendency to bottom out on the lower and middle tones during some of the incredibly trucing runs. Then, when he would try to execute distinctly, he fell behind the swift pace. Ceci seemed to sense this and carried on the best he could. Perhaps it was an off-night, perhaps not. It should be emphasized, though, this performance in no way reflects Ceci's brilliant leadership as concertmaster. Beethoven's Violin Concerto is even an obstacle for virtuosos of far greater talent than Ceci.

•_, . ;q1~ .·..::.\.)_

:'

Four other members of the sym- -.. phony were highlighted in Bach's Sinfonia Concertante. The piece is a neatly constructed Baroque chamber I symphonic hybrid-four soloists, Pamela Endsley, flute, David Abosch, oboe, Eugene Stein, violin and Jurgen de Lemos, cello, formed the core around which the orchestra provided the fills.

This is not a gruelling piece like Beethoven's Violin Concerto and the DSO soloists handled it well. At the end of the second movement in particular, the four took on the character of a bonafide chamber quartet.

All told, it was a sparkling evening by the Denver Symphony. No, they may not-have the status of Chicago, Cleveland or New York, but the Denver Symphony Orchestra is rising through the ranks of regional orchestras in America, and, with a little help from its friends, could .. develop into one of America's preeminent serious music centers.

MSC invited to DSO rehearsal Thursday The MSC Department of Music and other interested students, faculty and staff are invited to a rehearsal of the Denver Symphony Orchestra this Thursday morning, Feb. 28.

Music director and ' conductor • Gaetano Delogu will conduct Manzoni's

Variazoni per Orchestre de Courere, Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 22 in E Flat Major, K. 482 and Tchaikovsky's

Symphony No . 2 in C minor (Lillie Russian). Emanuel Ax will be the featured soloist for the piano concerto.

Because this is a rehearsal, guests are to be seated by 9:30 a.m. promptly.

Maestro Delogu will discuss musical aspects of the program during the intermission. The rehearsal is over at noon. Maestro Delogu requests that no one enter or leave the Concert Hall except dunng mtermission . Intermission time is at his discretion.

The rehearsal on Feb. 28 will be held in Boettcher Concert Hall, 13th and Champa. ·For further information, call the Department of Music at 629-3180.

Excellent production

by God-fearing writer

by S. Peter Duray-Bito

J

THE NINTH CONFIGURATION. Starring Stacy Keach and Scott Wilson.

Written, produced and directed by William Peter Biatty.

At the Century.

The recent rash· of films about the Vietnam war may be leading to a public view of military men as mad, bloodhungry psychopaths. Worse yet, the Vietnam veteran has seen so many horrors he has turned into a guilt-ridden, dream• crazed zombie. The question crops us: where did the Vietnam war end and what are writers and producers adding to that admittedly tragic venture?

Men have been driven to insanity before Vietnam and,. more importantly by other endeavors mankind has managed to dream up. In The Ninth Configurat(on we are introduced to Captain Cutshaw (Scott Wilson), an astronaut who aborted his mission to the moon seconds before lift-off. The psychological implications of the moon-shot, this character seems to suggest, are as trucing as the horrors of war.

Enter Colonel Kane (Stacy Keach) as the new psychiatric officer of the group.

He is mysterious and quiet, simply observing the "lunatics" and their fantasies. Finally, Cutshaw challenges Kane's authority and in a violent, subversive scene the two lock horns over the existence of G9d.

Kane, it turns out, was a killing machine for ,the Marines in Vietnam and finally went over the brink when the V .C. he had beheaded kept talking to him. He completely blanked out the event and was somehow re-assigned as a psychiatrist (this part of the movie is a bit unclear).

Kane is harboring this horror unaware of it and it is the Marine Corps' masterplan to cure him.

This sudden twist keeps us conveniently off-balance for the finale, in which writer, producer and ·director William ' Peter Blatty (The Exorcist) makes statements about man's quest for God. Kane is depicted as a sort of god himself; certainly as a savior, because his death is a salvation for Cutshaw.

The performances are stunning .

Keach never misses a step in his subdued, introspective portrayal of the complex

Stacey Keach: Marine killing machine.

Because he aborted his mission, Cutshaw is confined .to a top-level observation center along with other high ranking officers who have had mysterious mental breakdowns. They are housed in a massive Gothic castle isolated in the Pacific Northwest. The castle (actually filmed in a remote dew-shrouded valley in Germany) forms a sinister and colorful backdrop for the events to follow.

The film opens with Cutshaw's dream about his mission to the moon.

The scene is at once terrifying and symbolic because it outlines Cufshaw's basic psychosis: the agonizing fear of being stranded on the moon and uncertainty about the existence of God. He wakes-up from the dream and the film steps right into looking at the other officers at this "looney camp." Their antics are bizarre minimalism and take on a M*A *S*H atmosphere. You begin to wonder if they are really crazy.

Kane. Wilson is an effective defect in the NASA family and evokes the terror in his heart through a soliloquy in which he finally tells Kane why he didn't go to the moon. Blatty's directorial debut is inspired, showing economic, thoughtful shot selection and a strong, efficient pace that keeps you from looking at your watch.

The knowledge that Blatty wrote and directed this film slightly mars its effectiveness. Following the shocking vision of The Exorcist, one expects Blatty to attack us anew with -perhaps the ultimate in graphic violence or Gothic horror. Instead, he weaves a unique, twisting tale with strong symbolic references and a vision that underscores Blatty's credibility in cinema.
