Straight Movie Review

'Rosemary' Is Natural
By KATIIY MEREDITH CALL
From the plaintive, haunting, little Rid voice singing through
the opening credits and into the action of the film to the disquieting horror of the unexpected yet inevitable ending, "Rosemary's
Baby" commands hill attention of its audience.
It is confusing and frightening in its implications and imagery.
Exactly what was the significance of Satan coming to earth and
through an earthly woman having a son destined to conquer the
world? There are obvious possibilities for making a definite commentary of some kind on the coming of Christ. Or to focus it
differently, the coming of Satan as a victory for the forces of evil
could very easily be used to make a value judgement on a century
confronted with
racial conflicts,
"God is Deadism" and wars in a dozen places across the globe.
However, all these and other possibilities go unexploited, leaving
the viewer with no cohesive, tangible meaning or theme to walk
out with.
Instead, Roman Polanski, the director and screenplay writer,
simply uses this fantasy as the vehicle for a film of unusual power
to chill and stun an audience.
Both violence and nudity are present and openly are used in
their rightful role as a part of the story. "Rosemary's Baby"
cannot be called sensational, however, because neither element,
violence or nudity is ever used for its own sake and has little to
do with the film's most chilling and stunning moments.
"Rosemary's Baby" is notable in its unusual naturalness and
believableness of the characters. We see Mia Farrow as Rosemary
with rings under her eyes, a sallow complexion and natural-lookin- g
hair as thoroughly believable as the young wife in the next apartment.
This aura of reality contrasts sharply with the persistent eeriness
which permeates the entire action.

The housing was a lot better than that of the stable, cause
this pad was furnished with heat. Other than that of a cow's
breath, Satan could have done better.
The neatest part of the entire flick was the acceptance of
child hero. It also ended with this
Rosemary as the green-eye- d
scene.
Through the flick and a few after thoughts later, I grooved;
"Is God dead? Can there be evil without good? What's hell without heaven? Black is flat without white. Doors aren't doors unless
they compute and open and close."

This is Benjamin.

PANAVISION-

Crowing on the thought that I saw a recent flick entitled
"Rosemary's Baby", my opinions belong to me.
The year one of Our Lord is compared to the year one of our
Satan.
Rosemary, being married, wanted a baby ( I can dig that).
Her husband could also see the desire to have a child He offered
the right time of conception for fame and bread. He gave Rosemary's field for Satan to sow. So Satan did his thing. You may say
he went to accumulate a dateto create. Thus it happened Rosemary
became pregnant.
Of course, she wasn't hip to the fact that Satan's kid was
hanging in with her. This doesn't follow Mary's scene, but Satan
would not work in the same manner as Cod!
There is much comparison to groove on. There was only one
wise man. He was a doctor. The prophet was the husband of the
old couple living across the wall from Rosemary.
OH! You're probably wondering about the star, like the Star of
David. Yes, there probably was one. It would be black, turned
and set in a pitch dark sky. Remember, Satan doesn't work on the

Sophisticated Racism
The Bcrea City Council spoke wisely Monday when it condemned
the National States' Rights Party for the recent shootings and deaths
in that city. It should be obvious that the presence of such a group
is bound to increase tensions and is in fact designed to do so.
Moreover, any speaker who proposes to "put the white man back
on top," as one States Rights Party advocate did, is bound to arouse
the ire of blacks in the city. The black community is obviously not
going to stand for such degradation of themselves by racist speakers
in their own community, nor should they be expected to do so.
The city council was quite right then in realizing that the real
cause of the racial disturbances in their city was white racism.
Further they should realize that the racial problem in this country
in the main, a result of this same racism in various forms.
is,
The States Rights Party is a good example. Its name implies that
it is for the upholding of the power of local government. Its main
appeal in the Madison County area, however, has been "the unrest
caused by the hippies at the college there," according to one party
member.
States Rights is clearly then, not a political platform. Instead,
States Rights is merely another way of saying hate and repression.
The same is true of the catch phrases "law and order" and "crime
in the streets."
What the Berea City Council seems to have realized and other
political groups in this country must realize is that these phrases
and others such as "property rights" and "freedom of choice" have
become merely new, more sophisticated ways of saying "nigger." They
must also realize that black Americans are no more likely to stand
for these insults than they are to stand for being spit on or openly
cursed at.

Political Communication
Speaking on "Meet the Press"
Sunday, Democratic
nominee Edmund Muskie
was asked if he condoned the activities of Chicago police during
the Democratic Convention.
His reply was generally affirmative, with some allusions to the
need for restraint and communications to insure better relations between existing authority and dissenting groups. Considering the
circumstances of the Democratic
Convention, his comments could
have been more pointed.
Where was the communication
in the Convention when the Wisconsin delegation was trying to as
Vice-President- ial

certain the whereabouts and condition of the arrested head of the
New Hampshire delegation? Where
was restraint when the chair made
the nomination of Hubert Humphrey unanimous over the audible
dissent of several delegations?
Clearly restraint and communications are necessary and desirable, and Sen. Muskie is to be
commended for espousing them.
Where they should be implemented,
however, is not limited to the streets
and police stations, nor even to television interviews. They should begin in the framework of the political
system of this country if they are
to have any meaning at all.

Controlling Guns Now
Among the many unusual arguments against gun control which
have been thrown around, none is
more specious than the contention
that anyone who wants to commit
murder will find a way, whether
or not a gun is available.
This argument recently was discredited with relation to the homo-sid- e
rate in Kentucky, however,
when the Federal Bureau of Investigation revealed that 77.3 percent of the state's homocides were
committed with firearms, giving
Kentucky the second highest percentage in the nation. This means
that less than a quarter of the
murders were managed with corkscrews, bowling balls or the other
diverse implements of destruction
about which the gun lobby is so
pompous. This statistic shows
clearly there are too many guns
around right now and they are too
available as it is.
Registration of firearms, how- -

ever, is only one step toward a
solution of the problem of firearm
murders in this country. It is clear
that the present number of firearms
is sufficient for whatever it is that
people do with guns aside from
committing felonies. If gun legislation is to have any efficacy, it is
imperative that it in some way
curtail the manufacture as well as
the distribution of weapons. Registering the new ones as, they come
out would help merely to convict
murderers, not to prevent the crime.
Considering the situation in
Kentucky, perhaps serious thought
should be given to limiting the
flow of arms into the state and
limiting the number that could be
sold in areas with already high
firearm concentrations. The time to
act is now for it is obvious that
controlling firearms does not only
mean controlling just their future
availability. They are being used
as murder weapons here and now.

Kernel Soapbox: Chicago And
By BILL ALLISON
Law School Craduate
The "Battle of Chicago" must be put
into the correct perspective so that we in
the movement towards human justice
can become better educated about the
forces that rule our country.
It is still unrealistic to call the movement a violent revolution. YVe should
not talk in such simple terms. This clouds
the depth of the issues, and, even if we
vioever earnestly advocated large-scal- e
lence, the movement would be quickly
liquidated. Furthermore, if Chicago is
any example, the power structure is now
so scared and rigid that it can only respond in a militaristic fashion. Hie debate
is therefore moot.
For those who are still wondering
who started the violence and where the
blame shoukl lie, let me set the record
clear. Mayor Daley's actions and announcements made lattle inevitable. He
refused to allow traditional protest. The
granting of a permit to parade was essential to our freedom of assembly and

duced the moral dilemma. Hopefully, the
rednecks as well as Negroes on the Chicago Police Force put the moral squeeze
on many "good," "do nothing" people
via television. Hopefully, they will wake
up to the fact that not only was Chicago a police state, but tliat we are
moving towards a United Police State.
There should be no more debate about
whether to stay within the Democratic
Party to effectuate social change at the
pace which is demanded. Cene McCarthy
himself notified his people that the political process had failed and by Thursday many McCarthy workers had tasted
the dryness of the tear gas in their noses
and throats. The Democratic Party no
longer has a legitimate right to its name.
For liberals the ambiguity of their
position shoukl be seen clearly. Moral
compromises have been made so much

Dr. Forth took over as acting

Tuesday when Robert Johnson
left the position. Dr. Forth will
hold the position for a year, or
until a permanent vice president
for student affairs can be ap-

librarian, associate director of
libraries and acting director of

Coming to UK three years
ago, Dr. Forth was attracted
to the campus by former UK
President Dr. John Oswald. "His
breadth of vision was one of

"The whole excitement of Kentucky's academic program attracted me. I was impressed with
the quality of both the faculty

Looking forward to his new
position as vice president for student affairs, Dr. Forth said only

but I was completely helpless."
Patton said that every action
he saw was initiated by the
police, "for no apparent reasons
I could see."

"Instruments Of Mayor Daley"
"My antagonism was directed
first at the police, but they were
only instruments of Daley. My
hostility is directed not towards
the party but towards those in
control of it," Patton said. "For
that reason it's all the more important that we try to change
the party."

Because of Kentucky's lower
voting age Patton believes it will
be easy for young people to effect
change here, but he admitted that
the youth in most other areas
of the country might be disenchanted with the party and inclined to write it off.
Melinda Buckman, a UK graduate student, went to Chicago
to work for McCarthy but, like
Patton and many other young
McCarthyites, she joined the protestors after the Vietnam peace
plank was defeated.
During the "Battle of Michigan Avenue" as the bloody,
Wednesday night confrontation
was referred to, Miss Buckman
was in the midst of the action.
Felt Calm In Turmoil

"I had a terrible time accepting the possibility of being
beaten or arrested," she said,
"but after an hour or so of terrible anxiety, suddenly felt very
calm because I knew I was following my conscience."
Wedges of police passed by
her "beating people who were
running." She watched as policemen were "dragging people
along the asphalt." She watched
as police "swanned off buses,
half-runnin- g,

half-walkin- g

and

could see the individual sadism,"
Miss Buckman said.
She said she would continue
to work within the party structure but that she "wasn't too

happy about it."

"I feel I can do the most
within the party. Mayor Daley
was one man and I blame the
whole thing on him as an individual, not on the party. He

should be kicked out of the party,
but the only way that can be
done is for people to stay in the

party."
Party Dead?
Two foiner UK students who
were in Chicago, Bill Allison
and Don Pratt, feel differently
about the party. Allison, a recent

law school graduate, considers
the Democratic Party to be

"dead."

"It is immobile for the kind
of changes that need to be made.
Another vehicle has to be found."
He said he thought a fourth party
is "necessary."
"It was a farce," he said.
"There were no real facts for
arresting those people. In any
other week a decent court would
have thrown most of the cases
out."
Allison was bruised during
what he termed "indiscriminate
police rushes."
"It happened many times . . .
