Our View
Your dollars
The H oum Assassinations Committee has been receiving a lot of press coverage lately, due in part to the fact that the Committee is asking Congress for an additional 1790,000 to probe the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King The problem is, this committee doesn't seem to be doing much real probing.
Thus far, the Assasinations Committee has spent somewhere around 12.5 million and has not achieved the results it had hoped for. In fact, the committee has turned up little concrete evidence about either assassination and has engaged in the type of speculation which, to tell the truth, helps sell newspapers. But the question is, does the vast amount of money spent by this committee, coupled with its limited results, warrant its existence?
It is hard for people to accept the loss of a fallen leader, especially leaders of the caliber of Kennedy and King. But the time has come to accept the fact that it is possible that both were killed by single gunmen and stop wasting money on projects such as the House Assassinations Committee.
Your view The latest controversy that seems to be raging on campus is whether a mandatory student activity fee is warranted.
Good arguments can be made-Hmd have been made—by the proponents and opponents of the proposed fee. However, even though the more vocal student leaders have made their views known, it isnot known what the student body thinks
A lot of confusion surrounds the fee. Many people have several questions about the fee and its applications, as well as the consequences of not having a fee. The relative advantages and disadvantages of the system need to be objectively explored.
To this end, the Sagamore will, on September 27, devote its front page to the voluntary fee issue. Part of the page will concern itself with the opinions of the pro-fee forces; another will give the views of those opposed to the fee. And, in the middle of like bottom of the psge will be s plebiscite on which you, the students, will be invited to express your views on the matter.
Watch for it.

Schmitt explains fee opposition
l b the Editor:
I would like to exprees m y appred ation for the coverage which your paper hat given the Student Bar As
sociation’s positing on the proposed Student A ctivity Poe. I fe d that the issue is important enough, however, to dem rve some further explanation
Tba l i t t e oppotition to the proposal bet in the tact that few of our students consider themselves a part
of
a grand campus-wide student body. This could be demonstrated by an analysis of any IUPUI-SA function aimed at deter m ining the makeup of thoee partici pa ting I have pointed this out to num erous proponents of the fee, end the weak-handed reply is that our students aren’t sufficiently exposed to the publicity for the events. Frankly, this la not true. Y o w newspaper is widely reed within the law school, and you obviously do a good )ob of pubtt ciung ouch events Again, the ronaon that fow o f our students participate hi SA events to becam e tto r e jm t to m
Beyond this, there to a more basic question which should be examined by the SA and other proponents o f the foe: that to, to the SA a legitim ate representative of the students' interests, especially those of the graduate and professional students?
Any student government organisation which baa torn than ooe percent o f the students participating in its Mecttom must face the issue squarely of whether or not, in the students’ eyes, that student government is fulfilling s worthwhile and legitim ate function I would contend that it does not The reasons behind this incredible lack of participation are even more basic than the question of legitim acy
The studmt government of this campus to patterned, for lack of a suit
able model, an the student governments o f the largely residential colleges This to a fond a men Lai error. The strength o f this campus to its urban setting. As op
posed to a Bloomington or a West Lafayette, Indianapolis offers a mul
titude of diversions and opportunities which just do not exist in the smaller town atmosphere. Whereas the recre
ational, cultural or
challenges of the sm aller towns might need supplanting by a pro-student body such as an SA, in the setting of the large metropolitan area, these supplementary offerings lack a real reason for b d iq Objectively, there to little the SA or any other student gov a n m m t caa do to add to the oppor
tunities which already exist in the community. It would seem, then, that
aside from protecting the students' academic interest-w h ich costs nothing but U m e-th e SA would do better to h a v e the students' money in their pockets and let them provide their own diversions
Presently, the SBA manages the financial affairs o f law students un fettered by any faculty or admiatotra tive interference This has bam going on throughout the existence o f tab SBA without incident or sm em tkm that the S B A ’s spendingTJeeded supervision by those not directly elec ted by the law school student body or, worm, by someone not even associe- ted with the IU Indianapolis Law School
The recent Bloomington-SA pro
blems indicate the potential rats’
nest involved In a joint faculty otudent (unding proems. The SBA leadership and membership has neither the time nor the desire to become involved in such a morass In order to retrieve law student money from non-taw school For law students in particular, there are genuine bases for antipathy—if not opm hostility—for the 1UPU1 administrative superetruc ture which propoam the new foe

Law school rep resatation on the Graduate and Professional School Advisory Com m ittee la dispropor

And, while the law school adminis

Dear Diary, today 1 crossed over the Spohomhh. The w ay tt m oves along alow and easy raniadad me suddenly of the riv er back hi Arkansas whore m y adopted parents lived as mimionaries. Som ething about the w ay the riv er tim e d and the way the trees, the wiBowm all bent def«m to the water, and the w ay the w ater had tmeovered the roots and the way those trees tipped o ver toward the river.
Something about all that reminded m e o f one hot day w h m that crasy man, Job Dishios, my fathm , had drug m e a lo o f to town with Mm to ih ow m e how to save the fallen. He and his wife, Ruth, w ere always talking about ta rin g the fallen.
From the first day I saw that man at the o rp h a n r o , I knew he was evil. I knew he was no good tailing those people that ha w ^ sg m in t le r o f the Lcrd end that he had been commanded in a dream to come take m e into his care. Care! Ha just wanted someone to beat on when ha got drvek.
He drug me into town and over to the pert of town by the r e fin e d tracks The taveme and the whorebouMs w ere there. I rem em ber, first we went to one o f the taverns, The Whistle Stop. Inside w ere afi kinds of
mm
Mending at the bar and sitting at the tables, The smoke was thick and the talk was a low pitched grumble. We went to the bar and a heavy, red-heeded men with an apron came over and said to Job, "C om e to fight evil again, R ev.? Whadnya h ave?"“ W ine," Job answered in the way people talk when they think they’re better.
" I 'v e toM you every tim e you com e to here. We don't have wine. It ’s wUakey or beer. That’s a ll."
‘ T w o whiskies,” Job commanded. T h a i he said to me, "B efo re you can save a man from his tine you have to taste U s tins and feel Us sins and com m it U s sins in your own heart and soul."
The red-beaded man brought two short glasses filled with a tight brown liquid.
It looked like had water only slicker, faster, like It was m ore w atery than water
"'Drink that in a g u l p J o b told me.
I picked up the glass, knowing not to argue with Urn, and swaBowed as fast as I could. I never made it to the second gulp. My throat caught fire and locked up and 1 spit what I hadn't swallowed on the Door. My stomach burnt and m y face felt like it was glowing red.
‘ T h a t's the evil these men tike,” Job said to me. Then he drank U s and ordered six more Just like it Th ese are the seven deadly stas," he said.
W hile Job was drinking I started to listen to the talk in the tavern. "G old ?" they kept saying. "California The W est G old." They all teem ed to be talking about how good the west was, where a man could be himself W here you could work for a week and have enough gold to buy anything and go anywhere.
Job finished and took me over to one o f the whoesh oums. 1 rem em ber waiting downstairs with all the tired-looking women. Their faces w ere like the dow n s I'd seen at the circus the year before. Their eyes and lips and faces painted.
Job returned in juat a couple of minutes and said, "Ladies, you’v e got to
•am ple sin to know what you’re talking about.” They ail bowed their bends and said, "A m en ." O n eof them said, "S ee you n o t w eek ."
We left and headed out of town. I recall hearing the rives boat calling and people r a n t i * to greet it.
Job took m e out o f town and down by the r iv e r . It looked Just tike this part o f the Snohom ish. He beat m e with the limbs o f the w e e p ii* willows, hut passed out before he got m s too many time.
1 took som e money out o f U s wallet and got an the riv e r beet heeded to Fedueeb, M u c k y . A kid at theorpU m egs said Padpcah wan * ntoe place to go.

The Inside Line
by M. W llH aa LM to H i
Well, f f i H i t i t T r j h r t i M got o ff to a raisin g enough atari that all the folks at ABCougbt to t o happy fo r the rest o f the m a o o —even if they did get iotem grtsd by Jimmy Carter I'm s u e that the » minutes Carter took to announce world peace m w t have come c k o e to starting a m ajor revolution among 10-year^old apace freaks all over the country. The o e rv e o f that guy, right?
(Btd the real fra m a artamd Battlertar s ln t an film —tt*i in the com boom where the Star W art folks at XXh Centwy are doing their best to Mt the Universal Studio people with a charge o f copyright violation and other such goodies. And let's face it - y o o 'd have to t o more than s little bUnd to m b s the similarities. But then, they do say that Justice h blind....)
And to w about the Em m y awarth? you've pitta hand it to Carter, when he pre
empts, t o really does it 19 r ig h t And King Kong, too, no leos. But then maybe that was strategy from Pennsylvania Avenue. Like, what batter night to find Mr.
and Mrs. American and all the kid* at home, crouched ’round that luminous cathode ray tube? And catch the programm ing directors gnashing teeth and pulling hair as Mom and Pop send the kkb parking o ff to bed, scream ing to see what happens to Kong Shalom, indeed!
In the jazz department, I would draw y n r attention to an aibun by The P s t Metbeay Greep. 1 wish 1 could teU you m ore about It than the m ere f a d that it is recorded on the European ECM label and distributed here by Warner Brae. And the fact that U was recorded tn January ITO in Oslo, Norway.
1 can teU you that they are a quartet, made up of Pat Metheny, stx and U-«trtng guitars; Lyie Mays, piano, oberbeim synthesiser, and autoharp; Mark Egan on baas; and Dsn Gottlieb on drums. But tb it probably doesn't tell you much either.
They sound just a wee bit (and only that) like Stuff, but not quite so “ produced"
- a frequent complaint I bear regarding the latter group This ain't the watered down brand of 1 disco-jazz" that you're bearing so much of nowadays, either TTus is first-class w ort Incorporating snatches of Mingus and Montgomery in
fluences Definitely worth a listen Or two
The other note in jazz is W ilbert Longm ire’s first big “ com nwarial” album.
Sunny Side Dp. He's playing electric acoustic guitar with the likes of David Sanborn on sax, Eric Gale on rhythm guitar, and Richard Tee on piano.
Thu is the kind of material that a Lot of folk call "overproduced" but. if you like yours that way. this one will knock your socks off
He's got a horn section with Randy Brecker and Jon Faddis on the trumpets, and better than them you just cannot get. This is more jazz for popular consumption than elitist/purist material, with high marks in the "listen ability"
department
While we re on the subject of albums, I might as well bring up o u iA fe b e e n meaning to mention more as a curiosity more than anything else. It s the premiere album by a three-sister group, the Moirs, called State of Shock- H ie tno of Jean. Margot and Lesley has a good vocal sound and is supported by excellent studio work
They fall down, however, by relying 00 the writing abilities of sister Jean Without doubt, her stuff is the worst music-to-slash-your-wrlsts-by that I've heard since some of Jants Ian’s middle-material
But then, 1 get the feeling that this disc falls into the classification that some folks still insist upon referring to as "wom en's records/* and without sounding too bloody patronizing. 1 have to agree with them. And before anybody starts objecting to that remark, take the time to listen to the album. I think you'll see what 1 mean
Blessed with a totter hand in the songwriting department, the Moir sisters would make some real news—but it ain't here

Office of International Programs to present films of Riefenstahl
b r iohmtmiey during the period oI political turmoil prior to the beginning of W o rld W a r T w o . a film producet/tkrectoif actress named Leni Riefenstahl finished her first feature length film of a German mountain epic called The Blue L ig h t It was her success in this production that motivated Adolf Hitler to select her to be producer and director for the most effective propaganda films of that decade. Trium ph of the W ill and O lym p ia . W M e in the past her films, made during the Nazi regime, were viewed as symbols of Nazi propaganda, they are n o w increasingly being stocked for their merits as forms of dnemagraphic
Starting S eptente r 26. (he lU fU l Office of International Programs writ be announcing "The Second Annual RJPUI F lm Series: The Films of leni Riefenstahl' This series will run for five Tuesdays and will be presented in Lecture HaR 100 at 7 pm.
The program will be run by Joseph C Fatah of the IUPU1 Office of International Programs and a period of informal discussion will be led by Or. John Barlow of the Germ an department Dr. Barlow spedafizes in the study of films and teaches the course 'Introduction to Film in Comparative Literature as well as conducts the film segment of the W om en's Studies program at R JP U.
A c c o rd in g to Farah, " l e n i Riefenstahl has fulfilled many roles in Ue. among which include being a actress, dancer and author in addtio n to being a film producer and dkector. She began her career in the 20s as a da ncer and eventually advanced into silent film
as an actress. In 1932. she produced and acted in her first feature length film. The Blue Light She also directed, as at that time w o m e n directors w e re not uncommon. W hen Adolf Hitler viewed The Blue Light, he liked it so much that he asked her to produce the documentary Triumph of the W ill. A t the age of 76, she no w lives in Munich and continues to pursue creative works. She has just recently completed a book called The Last o f the N ubia, a photographic essay of an African tribe in Southern Sudan.
' O n September 26, the first film of the senes. The Blue Light, will be shown. The B lu e Light is an allegory based on a legend of the Kalian Dolomites, which is a region of the Alps in Northern Italy. Farah explained. *R is essentially the story of a y o u n g girl nam ed Yuta (portrayed by Riefenstahl) w h o found the secret of the blue light to be no th in g m o re than a p ho spho rescent fo rm a tio n of crystals that glowed in the dark.
'T h e local legend had K that the children of the villages and towns w o u ld be lured up into the mountains and would fall off the cliffs to their deaths." Farrah contin u e d , " Y u ta is able to overcome the spell of the legend and find the source of the blue glow and break the secret of legend. In the process she falls in love w ith a young artist and tells him what she has discovered. He in turn tells the townspeople, and once the secret of the legend is known the townspeople rob the grotto of the blue lights.
The Blue Light is one of the Germ an m ountain epics. According
to Farah "The Germans look at mountain epics as a struggle of man against the mountain in much the same way w e look at our own W esterns-m an against the frontier.
"Yuta is a symbol of perfection,' he said. She is mastering the elements. She is pure in her goal, her dedication and her ideals. The mountain might be considered a metaphor for fuhrer worship or a cultlike personality where everyone is supposed to subm it to the greater task of the greater figure These are really some of the basics of fascism. Critics have made that type of connection between the mountain epic and what Riefenstahl was trying to portray in The Blue Light
Farah describes Triumph o f the W ill as being a documentary, or at least it was billed that way. Yet K is dearly pure propaganda in the sense that it does nothing but glorify the Nazi party, he said.
•From time to time leni Riefenstahl will deny the political motivation behind her films and say the they are pieces of anem ograph* a r t ' Farah would like to set the story straight stating'Hider titled the film H e commissioned Riefenstahl to produce and direct K and she had almost unlimited resources at her disposal to do t h a t' He also gave two reasons to explain that she knew what was involved in the films. "First of aiI Trium ph o f the W ill had the personal stamp and direction of Adolf Hitler. Second of all, post war records have indicated that the him was heavily financed the Nazi party,' he said "So, there is no d o ubt whatsoever that RieferataN knew what she was dovtg when she put that film together *
Dr. Barlow further corroborated this attitude b y saying that he'd o e s not think anyone can operate in an artistic m anner in a vacuum , because art is directly related to social values. She says that was creating an artistic work. However, to do so is politically naive.'
Nonetheless, Farah states that this was before W o rld W ar T w o and before fascism became a warlike force. K was a political ideology that people were flitting with at that time in the poktical climate of the thirties.
Triumph o f the W ill says Farah is a g o o d exam ple o f G e rm an expressiorast film where Riefenstahl does play the light, shadows, angle and speed of the film very carefully The opening sequence of Triumph o f the W ill shows a view of the horizon from Hitler's plane as he is flying into Nurenburg. He is seen flying on top of majestic d o u d form ations. Som e critics have interpeted that Riefenstahl was trying to portray Hider as a sort of a messiah or a saviour like figure coming do w n from the mountain to see the masses in the villages b e lo w . A g ain the re is the connection with the mountain epic.
The Blue Ligh t
*k had tw o purposes,' Farah said
"The film was supposed to show that the Nazi party was still unified since Hitler had only recently purged the S A (T h e Brownshirts).
A b o it was supposed to scare the heck out of anyone w h o viewed the film. The premise here is that you are watching what appears to be a poBticaHy unified country with a strong military a n d you had better not mess with them."
Olympia, parts one and tw o wM
be shown on O c t 24 and 31, respectively. K is shown on two days primarily because of the great length of the film.
The film concentrates primarily on the games and the individual athletic competition. 'T h e diving sequences are especially beautiful, since she just got the night timing lighting and background together,"
Farah said. "Th e rkving sequences are beautiful and there is little political significance to them, but other aspects of O lym p ia are very controversial Some critics say that Riefenstahl was trying to promote fascism through O lym p ia because of all the glorification of youth athletic competition and physical pe rfe ctio n; w h ic h again are elem en ts com m on to totalitarian regenes."
T h e last film in the series.
T ie !la n d , w ill be sh o w n o n November 7. 'T h e film," says Farah, ' » probably the most fragmented of all her films, she started it in 1942 and was forced to stop production due to lack of resources and due to the fact that she was in the midst of a running battle w ith Josef G oebbeb over the production of the film. He saw in lie f land some elements of socialism that dkf not mix well with the ideologies of the Nazi party.' Rienfenstah! did not get a chance to firesh it until 19S4, when she was authorized by the German government to work in the film industry again.'
"This film has only been recently made available to the pubBc in the United States.' "It should prove interesting to see if the fasast ideology s present in Tret la nd and what changes have occurred in her style during the period of 1942 to
1954. K should be an interesting program just to see the changes m an individual artist over a period of tim e"
In the past the films of Leni Riefenstahl have bee n quite controversial. Farah explained, "The reason w hy the word controversial is applied to Riefenstahl so often a that whenever she has tried to surface, whether at film festivals or sem rurc, there have always been a group present to protest her films *
" W e have not received any criticism of the series from any organized group. I think." said Farah, 'that once the rationale for the film senes b expiamed, the criticism and the controversy wiM go to o ne side ." W h a t- the organizations wh o protested were not doing was separating the content of her work from artistic merit of her w o rk .' Dr. Barlow stated that 'a rt ■ subject to time and space. Th e re fo re , the propaganda effects of O ly m p ia and Triumph of the W ill cannot be realized unless the conditions that existed in 1939 were recreated.'
"However," said Dr. Barlow,'I do not perceive any bad reaction to the film series. N o b o d y is advocating the purpose of the films in such a series when K is shown at a university. At the university we examine cultural artifacts such as these and then discuss them*
T o quote a publication from the IU P U I O ffic e of International Programs, "In our ow n age of sophisticated political advertising ana promotion, nerenstanrs nuns rem ain an im portant historical source of the potential pow er of the film medium.
