Page 2 The Nebraskan Friday, Dec. 2, 1960 The Hast thou arisen out of the mists of time to plague us and prod us? A spectre of greatness reutrned from the world b e y o n d, thou seemest. Begone, thou haggard publican of multiple de feats. Take thy face hense and leave us to heaven. Point not with withered hand at our droppings. Scowl not at the flowers of our soMv. My sweet dears, time was when the Gadfly stung us one and all. And once upon that time, we labored through the Briar Patch. Lest we forget, the Weal or . Woe ran too. From these fog-ridden depths of long ago comes a rogue and an elf guised as LEON. God save the King! Beware of slander, ogre and quit swiping what few readers I have left. Dear Abbie, indeed! No harm intended, Charlie Chan, it's about a fine column. The Little Corporal is off to Waterloo this week. Seems he just got back from Elba or Chicago or someplace. The peasantry breathes relief and reprieve in his absence. That fine statesman from the South, John Calhoun, is printing all the news that's Inside By Phil Boroff WILD STRAWBERRIES, a Janus Films release of a film by Ingmar Bergman starring Victor Seastrom. The emphatic aged phy sician and the cinematical ly beautiful production make "Wild Strawberries" one of the few examples of true motion picture art. The film was presented at the fourth Film Society pre sentation by the Student Un ion film conimittee on Wednesday evening. Ingmar Bergman, Swed ish director and screen writer, has provided an abundance of material for thought and a wide variety of cinematic effects for con sideration. The plot con cerns a day in the life of Dr. Isak Borg, eminent 78 year old Swedish physici an. He is to receive an honorary degree from his university, - commenorating the 50th anniversary of his graduation. : However, this happy day begins with a wierd dream; the old man is on a de serted street, the clocks have no hands, a man with out a face falls to the street and blood rushes from his crumbled body, the old man sees a hearse that hits a lightpost and throws its casket to the street.and the old man's corpse pulls the doctor down into the brok en casket. To receive the award, Borg must travel from Stockholm to Lund. He de cides to drive his antique car. Marianne, his es tranged daughter-in-law, will also travel with the old man back to Lund and to her physician husband Evald. . The travellers stop at a summer house where Borg lived when he was a boy. Noticing a wild strawberry patch, Borg daydreams of a youthful summer day when his intended wife Sara first loved his brother. The journey is resumed with the addition of three hitchhikers, a girl also called Sara and two young men named Anders and Vikter. Later, the antique car is involved in an acci dent in which the other car is overturned. The disagree able husband and actress wife of the overturned car are offered a ride, but are turned out of the car when the daughter-in-law can no longer stand their fighting. Borg has another day dream in which he is given an examination by the dis agreeable husband. Borg examines a patient, the actress-wife, and declares her dead. But she comes to life with a horrifying laugh.

Oh yes, kiddies, just for chucks wait for Boroff's comments on Wild Straw berries. One of the finest comedians in the business, if you want my opinion. And you usually don't. View the background are the three young hitchhikers stiffly representing students observing the examination. The charge in 'incompet ence'; the punishment is 'loneliness.' The examiner and Borg then regress to the time the old doctor witnessed wife and her lover. Borg's son could possibly have been the result of this in fidelity. The old man reaches his destination, amends are made with his son, and the son and daughter-in-law re concile. Borg receives his honor and, after saying goodbye to the three young hitchhikers, spends that mo ment before . sleep remem bering a happy youthful day at the summer house. It is the story of 'what one thinks of life when one is about to leave life." Victor Seastrom, as.Drv Isak Borg, is outstanding. It is an amazing final ac hievement for the late, well known Swedish stage and film actor. Ingrid Thulin, currently under contract to Metro-Goldwyn-M a y e r, is impressive as Marianne, the daughter-in-law, and Bibbi Andersson, as-both Sara's, and Julian Kendahl, as Borg's housekeeper, Ag da, are also outstanding. In fact, every role is excel lently cast and excellently performed. All technical aspects of the film are superior. Light ing expresses mood: light when the old physician dreams 'youth,' dark when . he dreams and lives 'age. Excellent cinematography, costuming and editing dis criminate between the 'real' and the 'dreamed.' Ingmar Bergman has di rected and written a mast erpiece. "Wild Strawberries" has awards, including he Grand Prize at the 1958 Ber lin Film Festival and the' Grand Prize at the 1959 Nar Del Plata Film Festi val. Films in Review, no table monthly publication, awarded the film its 1959 Best Foreign Film, Best Actor (to Victor Seastrom) and special citation (to Ing maiu for 'the body of his work') awards. The film al so won an Academy Award nomination and was in cluded in almost all 1959 Ten Best' lists. Another notable foreign film that was included in most 1959 'Ten Best' lists is the 'new wave' French film, "The 400 Blows." It will be the next Nebraska Union Film Committee's Film Society presentation on the evening of Decem ber 14. ' Nebraskan Letterip Campus Elections Draw Criticism To the Editor, We think it is deplorable that the Daily Nebraskan and the Student Council are so totally incompetent con cerning one of the most im portant institutions on cam-pus-the ELECTIONS! Cases in point: 1) The election for home coming queen was not suf ficiently publicized. 2) Members in charge of the homecoming balloting failed to make clear the number of candidates to -vote for. . - 3) And most recently, the Daily Nebraskan released front page copy stating that the Honorary Commandant polls would be open until 9 p.m. and the polls closed at 5 p.m. . We don't know where the mix-up is, whether it is the Daily Nebraskan or the Stu dent Council, but we feel that this privilege of stu dent voting should not be so abused. Mary Weatherspoon Suzie Stolz Military Ball MixUpExplained To the Editor, Concerning the letter by Miss Weatherspoon and Miss Stolz, I would like to offer an apology and an ex planation of point 3 which they raise. It is true that the article in Wednesday's Daily Nebraskan about the election of the Honorary Commandant did contain the statement that the polls (ffftm I'M MV f - & 4atWatf Ed, telephone lineman, It en routine duty when a cloudburst hits the Arizona mountains, caus ing sudden "flash flood" in the desert below ... j cought us fu. peach xxi ) M l rr- .

As publicity chairman for the Military Ball, I wrote the press release and absent-mindedly put down the wrong time. The only error of the Ne braskan staff was that of trusting the complete accur acy of my reporting. When the error was dis covered, the Nebraskan was already in circulation and there was nothing that could be done about it. I apologize to those stu dents who were not able to vote as a result of the error.

However, I'd like to know whether there will be quick use of the lot by students who live on campus. I don't.
