The Nebroskan .Wednesday, Poge 2 EJHTOK1AL OPINION E-Week Provides Preview into Future Thursday marks the beginning of the 49th annual Engineering Week on our campus. During the remaining fifty-one weeks of the year, the engineering students stay pretty much in their own territory, at the west end of the city campus. Bat during this gala week, the Engineers bust loose, wear ribbons and treat the rest of the campus to out standing displays, discussions and designs. As in any full-scale college week, a great deal of time and effort has been spent in preparation for this week. The non-engineers should take advantage of this weekend and visit the land of the slide rules and straight edges. If any students have any doubts about the national prominence of our Engineering College, a quick look at the alumni list from Nebraska will show that our Engi neering College has produced some of the finest indi vidual engineers in the nation. Overset Just what is going on be hind the Iron Curtain? I wonder now that I have heard two completely dif ferent stories within the last week. Thursday night a guest speaker at the Young Democrats m e e ting told of t h e life she lived in Latvia un der the Na zis and Beatty later on, under the Commu nists. Her story was re markable and almost unbe lievable. Some of the hard ships she, her family and friends experienced were comparable to some of the tortures dealt out by Hitler and his fanatics. Only two Cays later one of the visiting Russians, while on this campus, was asked if he had been asked any embarrassing questions or otherwise mistreated. The Russian (also claiming Latvia as his home coun try) replied: "One girl in the YWCA at Iowa . State University said that the Baltic states of Lithuanaia, Estonia and Latvia are colonies of the Soviet Union. I am f r o m Latvia and considered this to be an abuse." An abuse? It seems to me that the American peo- By Norm Beatty Die in this country and especially in Nebraska and I at this University are goats of a huge LIE. On one night we see a little woman in her late i fifties emotionally retell I her horrible experiences un- der the strong arm control of the Communists. f Perhaps I am barking up the wrong tree when I take the word of a lower class worker than a Soviet-edu- cated journalist. If I am then I wish someone would answer the following ques- tions? I Why were 40,000 Latvians deported to Siberia by the I Russians in 1949? 1 wyfiS i-" Inside View By Phil Boroff I &LUSS YOU C0VJt CAU TH5-MINMUAA WA6&S. The Launching Pad CITIZEN KANE, a RKO Radio pie tare starring Orsoa Welles and featuring the Mercury Players: Joseph Cetten, Everett Sloane, George Coulouris, Paul Stewart, Erskine San ford, Dorothy Comingore, Ray Collins, William Al land, Ruth Warrick and Agnes Moorehead. Here's perhaps the only true classic of the Ameri can film industry. Produced in 1941 by boy wonder Orson Welles and featuring the popular Mercury Play ers of radio fame, "Citizen Kane" is the completely compelling story of a mil lionaire newspaper man and his effect on various associates and acquaint ances. Whenever world film makers gather perhaps for a film festival and try to list the 'Ten Best Films Ever Made," "Citlien Kane" is usually included. In fact, it is usually the only American film on the list. "Citizen Kane" was not a financially successfully pic ture, but its art value as concerns cinematic expres sion of a theme is unpar alled. The moving camera, unusual angles, inventive lighting, outstanding s e t tings, and some overpower ing acting and direction make this a true master piece. Orson Welles, as 'Kane.' gives the finest of his al ways Imaginative perform ances. This is a huge achievement for Welles, who both directs and arts to near-p e r f e r t i o n thought an impossibility for any one man. (Welles also collaborated on the script.) The part of Kane's second wife a blonde who Kane trains to make an opera singer and for whom he builds a huge opera house is portrayed with sincer ity by Dorothy Comingore. I am not familiar with the biography of t h i s actress, but this one performance includes such a full range of depth of emotion and un derstanding, that it's a true example of outstanding act ing. "Citizen Kane" won only one Oscar, and the New York Film Critics cited it as 'Best Film of the Year' in 1941. The film was in cluded in last year's Union Foreign Film series. And last Sunday evening, the Union Film Commit tee showed the classic. As far as my viewing experi ences have reached, this is the best film I have ever seen. And, if I could rec ommend only one film for everyone to see, this would be that film.
