O'Banion believes that sayingwhat you think well .is just asimportant in a student's every-day life as it is at a forensiccompetition.

Film review

Surpríse! Fcrrqh Fswcefi-Mojors con ocfwork and an excellent script.

The creators of "Murder on theOrient Express" have now comeout with Agatha Christie's"Death on the Nile."

Peter Ustinov stars as HerculePoirot, the Belgian gentlemandetective. Also featured areBette Davis, Mia Farrow, JonFinch, Olivia Hussey, QeorgeKennedy, Angela Lansbury,David Niven, Maggie Smith andJack .Warden as suspects in amurder.

The movie is superbly actedand the scenery is magnificent.

By DoW Hanilton

"Somebody Killed Her Hus-band," the new movie fromColumbia Pictures starringFarrah Fawcett-Majors and JeffBridges, is now playing in-Fresno.

The bþ question of the movieis whether Ms. Majors can act.The answer is yes. Not fantastic,but she can act. I will say this,she has come. a lóng way since-"Charlie's Angels."

Jeff Bridges comes across thescreen as he usually does, which

is great. Bridges plays a clerk inthe Maey's department store toy rsection. There he meets Majors,who is window shopping with helbaby boy.

Bridges and Majors fall in loveand decide to tell Mrjors'.husband that she wants a divorceso they can be married. Ifow-ever, before they have a chance,her husband is murdered.

The movie goes from thereinto a tidy little mystery withdead bodies poppinC up'constant-ly.

The film is surprisþgly goodand has some very good camera

One would think that with somuch t¿lent the actors would notbe able to fully develop theirroles. On the contrary, each actorturns in an excellent perform-ance, all but Lansbury who wasgood but seemed to be trying abit too hard.

The plot has so many littletwists and turns that.one is lefttrying to uncover the mysteryalong with Poirot.

This is a superb movie to gosee if you like mysteries. Even ifyou don't, go see it and you maycome out a mystery fan.

KVPR FM 89

Public rqdio coming lo vulley tlris monthBy Sam Tull

With the idea of making radioan active listening experienceinstead ofthe background musicso much of it h¿s become inrecent years, KVPR FM 89, theValley's first public r¿dio st¿tion,will begin broadcasting thismonth.

Giving the listener an'alterna-tive to conventional commercialradio is one of the purposes ofpublic radio, according to VonJohnson, KV?R's teehnical pio-gram dhector.

'To do this, KVPRs format isset up so that many different

and listeningbe presented.fit as many

ble.

"Each segment will be pre-sented by somcone who knowsthat type of music," statesJohnson, "with a. light insiruc-tional format that gives back-ground on the music so theIisteners may know what they'rehearing."

KVPR is a member station ofNational Public R¿dio, made upof 210 member stations aroundthecountry; AboutS0 per cent ofthe station's programming willcome from NPR, and 70 per centof the programs will be local.

The programs include jezz,folk and classical music, chil-

dien's shows, radio dramas andthe arts.

The staff 'at KVPR feel thatthey have a responsibility toprogram for the people of thisvalley. Since public radio is.supported by the people, thelisteners should be able to hearwhât they wish to he¿r.

.

Though some public radiostations are institution licenses(in other words, funded by acollege or institution), KVPR is acommunity licensee with funds[or operation -coming directlyfrom the listeners. Funding isalso provided by government, andcorporation grants.

According to Richard' Mays,development director for KVPR,this station is unique in that ithad over 200 listener member-ships before the station beganbroadcasting. A listener mem-bership means pledging $25 to$250 for the support of thestation.

Since KVPR is supported byits listeners, it will be responsiveto the needs of the listenerinstead of advertisers. This isrellected by the-staffs desi¡e tohear listener's opinions and theirideas for new programs.

In addition to music, FM Sgwill þresent,. a wide variety ofother programs. The news willfeature things that affect people.Talk shows and children's shows

Punish ropistsLast Saturday a ãI.yearold woman was found walking nude '

and covered with blood near Patterson. The woman had beenraped, ¿nd if that was not enough the rapist cut off both herarms below the elbow with an ax.

It seemb that a woman is no longer safe on the streets, atwork or even at home, when a¡ att¿ck like this takes place.Rape, it seems, is beeoming the national pastimë.

Fresno h¿d or has its own rapist that has been coined "theeast side r8pist," Berkeley has ohe c¿Ued Stinky and almost

On Nov. 22, 1963, hesident John Fitzgecald Kennedy wasshot and killed by an ass¿ssin in Dallas. Hi,r killer was ór hasbeen thought t¡ be Lee Harvey Oswald. However, people stillwonder if Oswald acted ¿lone.

LETTERS

young man named Mervyn Gray,a graduate student at UCBerkeley who becomes involvedin a murder.

Mervyn is swept up in tryingto solve the murder and find ¿connection between four men (allnamed John) and the murderedwoman.

The novel bleuds nostalgia ofthe early 60's and the wii andhumor of Ellery Queen into astory so vivid you almost feel ¿sthough you are part ofthe story.

The second story, "Blow lfot,Blow Cold," conqe¡¡rs I younghousewifd and ht¡sband i¡volvedin a murder on their block.

There a¡e several suspeets inthis story - the heroine'shusband, a hen-pecked hugb¿nd,his wife, a doctor, ¿nd his ivife.

Thê story even has. a policelieuten¿nt that reminds one ofColumbo.

Both stories are well worthenjoying oh a hot or rainy day.

"features" should be nominatedfor the "Wasted Space" award.The-. cat write-up was mildlyintetesting, but the price of eggsis not exactly earth-shattering!

The column idea (Seenarôund) is a good one, buthopefully you will come up withsomething more interesting thanthe price of hard-boiled eggs!

US should 'uninvolve' w¡th lronIn answer to the letter signed'

Civis, last week. Even the title ofthe artícle should be a shame tothe American pèople, 'lShah'sapponents criticized." .

IVe are still hearing of"Holócaust." how Hitler treatedthe. Jewish people, and yet ourAmerican government is Pledg.ing its support to a modern-daYHitler in the Shah of Iran.

Perhaps my being an informedAmerican citizen will lendvalidity to the legitimacy of theIranian people's cause. I am notanxious to be involved in anotherViet Nam situatioh and there aremany paralells even though,according to some, it would bethe best thing for our econorty.

If anyone has been "duped" asCivis stated, it is the unsuspect-ing American people who do not

want to believe that ourgovernment would become sodeeply involved in Iranianinternal affairs - after Nam and\ilatergate, etc..-..

But if one takes the time to putthe pieces of the politieal puzzle

' together in an anal¡ical andrational way, everything fromthe Iranian people beingslaughtered in the streets of tanto an American buSiness onevery corner in Tehran (capitalof Iran) to billions of dollarsworth of military equipment toIran by our American govern-ment, to 45,00 military personneland Americans.

CIA members in lran-it is nottoo difficult to draw an .intelli-gent conclusion as to what isreally happening.

Because someone is not acitizen of the U.S. and wishes toexpress themselves does not

..mean that they are not protectedunder our constitution.

That's whab America is allabouL our , human rights andfreedoms. God help'the Irani¿npeople and God help our U.S.government to get back together

- the way it should be. The poweris in the hands of the people..
