In a time when beautiful synthetic youth is glorified, "Last

Croup Vs. Individual

"Last Summer" is a gioup

kids. It is about that
16 year-ol- d
time in everyones life when they
first become aware of themselves
as an individual entity but
haven't managed to divorce themselves from their complete

The movie artfully avoids becoming a lecture. It takes you
through your hilariously awkward first sexual relationships
when you know what you want
but can't decide how to ask for
it.
Acting Great
"Last Summer" is fabulous.
The four kids all are trying their
hand at acting in a major role
for the first time and pull it
off flawlessly. This is one of
the new breed of films for which
only superlatives are appropriate.
The photography, acting, screenplay, direction everything is

bye Columbus."
Every once in a while, however, a movie is made that treats
those themes as a sort of secondary but nonetheless essential motive in people's lives. That would
be the true realism that so many
producers and directors are striving for; but only if the effort is
carried off and is successful.
Director Robert Altman comes
painfully close to pulling it off
in "That Cold Day In The Park"
starring Sandy Dennis, Michael
Burns, Susanne Benton, and John
Garfield Jr. Throughout the film,
sex is an undercurrent, a counterpoint to the more abstract theme,
i.e. the loneliness of a

spinster and her desperate
attempt to include somebody,
anybody in her life.

Immorality vs Violence
The plot is relatively simple,
which seems to be another recent
trend in movies. It shows how the
spinster (Sandy Dennis) takes in
an uncommunicative hippie (Michael Burns), coddles him then
falls in love with him. Burns
eventually becomes the mental
and physical captive of the spinster who finally explodes in a fit
of psychotic violence.

personality and deep understanding of her roles.
Miss Dennis faces a serious
problem for her career in becoming typecast as a deviant or psychotic. Wih her performance in

"The Fox" and "Cold Day," she
has shown that she can handle
that sort of part, but she is capable of so much more.
Incest
The rest of the cast is able to
give fine individual performances
while still complementing Miss
Dennis' role. The most believable
effort in the film is given by fledgling Susanne Benton as the nymphomaniac sister of Michael

Burns. In one scene, Miss Benton is nude and tries to incestual-l- y

you desire her and hate her at the

Part of the credibility of the

a lively and excited crowd. Starting off their concert with gentle
tunes such as "Never My Love"
and their hit single "Hang 'Em

in each song and drew the crowd
into their wavelength right away.
Asking for participation during
their number "Bugaloo" they
swept the crowd under their arm
and held them there for the rest
of the evening.
Keeping their attention, they
swung into a haunting version
of "Summertime" and then
with "Sitting on the Dock

by their lead guitarist, Steve

only to be beaten by their next,

Editor, Lexington Hcrakl
Why does Kentucky have a law

derstanding between the old and
the new.
With that said, it may well be
suggested that the older American,
the supposedly more balanced and
mature one, is himself guilty of the
great failing. Too often he is lecr
turing when he should be listening..
In Kentucky, one can buy beer
legally on Sunday but not milk
because of the state's antiquated
Sunday closing law. When this
matter comes before the 1970 legislature it is going to provoke plenty
of feeling. The Sunday closing law
ought to be repealed. Next best it
ought to be cleared up at least.
Back to marijuana. Right now
nobody wants to think about it.
But anyone who cares to stop
turing and start listening might
read what Dr. Roger O. Egeberg,
President Nixon's new health chief
at HEW, said. "The present laws
are completely out of proportion"
to the dangers presented by marijuana, he stated.
"I think they're punitive. I don't
personally think marijuana leads to
heroin. I feel pretty strongly that
it should be placed in a different
categroy from barbiturates, heroin,
amphetamines and LSD." But the
fact is .that they are all more or
less indiscriminately lumped together.
Now some effort is being made
by Congress to solve the riddle of
marijuana. That is good. A commission should be named to determine scientifically the facts of life
about marijuana. Meanwhile, some
young Kentuckians are being sent
off to prison as though they were

Perhaps Mr. Clark's band
doesn't realize that part of its
duty is to instill in the crowd a

be discouraging for the band to

it cannot simply sit 6n its imaginary laurels and watch silently
as its team loses ingloriously.
Perhaps the band will improve

performance

sounded full and rich, but looked
poor. The pep portion of the
band's repertoire was nil. Excepting a weak attempt at "On, On
Uof K" the band was quiet during
the first half. In the second half
the band responded to cries of
"Dixie" with utter absolute silence.
It was as though they were so overcome with their newaccouterments
as to be fearful of wrinkling them by
movement. After several cries of
"play something, dammit" from
pertrubed fans, a lone percussionist
beat out a snide funeral march
on his bassdrum an unintentional
comment on the state of his band.

The prosecution disagrees.
