Movie
Sparks
Debate
Take even a small group of
people, add a controversial
foreign film and there is sure
to be interest stimulated in
the film as an art.
This, stated Miss Kris Bit-
ner of the Union Film Forum
committee, is the real pur
pose of the discussion group s
bi-weekly meetings.
Mrs. David Levine, of the
English department directed
the discussion at last night's
forum on "Bay of Angels.
inougn the turnout was
smaller than expected, the
talk touched upon all aspects
of "Bay of Angels " and in
ciuaed inner perspectives on
such other films as "Umbrel
las of Cherbourg," 'The Great
Race," "The Agony and the
Ecstacy," and "Lola."
The plot of the "Bay of An
gels" involved a girl's obses
sion with gambling and a
young man who gradually
turned to gambling because
of her. However, each mem
ber of the forum held differ
ent views on the main plot
and characters.
The group posed such ques
tions as, "Does the movie sub
stantiate the feeling of bad
ness in gambling?" and "Is
the movie really about gamb
ling?" "Is the picture about
institutionalized religion of to
day?"
Most of the student review
ers liked the movie. Mrs Le
vine noted the fresh camera
techniques, black and white
for dramatic effect. She also
thought that the movie tended
to widen the audience's view
of the world. The ending, says
Mrs. Levine, is an ambigu
ous one.
This is perhaps one reason.

Bride
A near tragedy that pro
duced a medical miracle has
now resulted in the engage
ment of a former Miss Okla
homa to a former Oklahoma
State University basketball
star, Gary Hassmann.
It was Hassmann s quick
action, along with some good
help from others, that started
the sequence of aids making
possible the operation that re
stored the severed arm of an
other OSU basketballer, Bob
Swaffar.
The bride-to-be, a finalist In
the 1965 Miss U.S.A. contest
after being Miss Oklahoma in
1963, is Cherly Ann Semrad.
The two met at OSU during
preparations for a benefit bas
ketball game for Swaffar
she was selling tickets.
Hassmann is now a student
at the University of Oklahoma
medical school in Oklahoma
City, where Cheryl models for
a fur company.

when she walks but why?
SHE WALKS WITH A WIGGLE
with a wiggle
Female Wiggle-Walk Learned,
Just Habit, Studies Sbow
By Bob Curnow
Junior Staff Writer
Walking with a wiggle is
something that can be
learned, according to physiol
ogists and bone specialists
around the nation.
Dr. Louis H. Paradies, as
sistant professor of orthope
dics at the University of Tex
as Southwestern Medical
School in Dallas, said, "The
female walk can be put on."
"It (the walk) can be
learned with little difficulty
and easily becomes a habit,"
Paadies said recently.
For several" years Paradies
and colleagues have been tak
ing movies of people walking
in order to answer the ques
tion, "Why do women wiggle
when they walk?"
"We can find no physiologi
cal reason why women should
have to walk that way, he
said at the 33rd annual meet
ing of the American Acad
emy of Orthopedic Surgeons.
Paradies studies have
shown that the "wiggle-walk"
short steps with stiffened
knees. This causes the hip
bone to oscilate.
Men normally do not show
the hip gyration because they
take longer steps, keep their
knees losse and as a result,
men have a smoother walk,
the study continued.
A poll of University stu
dents revealed that both men
and women alike shared sim
ilar views when answering
Paradies' question.
Paul Can-, a senior busi
ness major, said girls walk
with a wiggle "because they
want to show off, but then I
suppose there are some who
just can't help it."
Trudy Rawlings, a sopho
more speech therapy student,
said, "I guess we walk that
way because we think we're
supposed to. I think it starts
when girls are young and
just becomes a habit."
Mike Douthit, a freshman
music student said. "They
walk that way because they
are trying to impress the op
posite sex with their own
sex."

Claudia Parks, a junior
art major, commented, "It's
a mechanism to attract
boys."
Dr. Piobert E. Dunn, assis
tant professor of psychology,
said there were certain phy
siological traits in the girl
that made it easier for them
to wiggle when they walk
and there are also definite
psychological reasons.
"The girl walks this way
because her social referrents
walk this way and she is so
cially reinforced by boys,"
Dunn noted.
"Translated out", he ex
plained, "this means she
she draws expressions of ap
walks with a wiggle because
preciation from boys in the
form of whistles and w o 1 f
calls." Whether it is physiological
or psycological one thing is
certain the wiggle will stay
in the walk.

Keepng the budget bal
anced and the checks checked
sometimes keeps students in
a state of confusion, but a Lin
coln banker suggests that
many of the student's Univer
sity money problems might
be solved if he made an effort
to keep his records straight.
The official said students
'too often don't realize" that
their checking accounts are
overdrawn and continue to
write checks on an empty ac
count. "I beleive many students
don't know how to keep their
records straight," he added.
"We like to get students in
and help them" with financial
problems, he said.
The bank official said it is
generally "not wise" for a
student, to write checks for
"any little thing you buy. It's
important to write checks for
things you want a record in
payment of," he stressed.
It is similarly a bad prac
tice to writtf a large number
of counter checks because it
is too easy to neglect to note
the check in personal cpack
files, he said.
FUNDS USED QUICKLY
lne average student uses
most of the funds he has in a
short time if he doesn't have
a large balance," the banker
said.
Most 'Student checking ac
counts at the bank are taken
out on the ten-cent-a-cheek
arrangement, which provides
for the continued use of the
account even if the balance is
onlv one cent.
"A high percentage of Uni
versity students are good
credit risks. We always have
some who are not reliable at
all, and at times we have to
close an account, but not of
ten. We also have a responsi
bility to the store the students
marke checks to," he said.
Comments from other (jam-
pus and Lincoln business peo
ple indicate they have little or
no trouble with students pass
ing bad checks, student for
geries and failures to pay
bills on credit accounts.
NOT WRITTEN PROPERLY
Han Greer, assistant busi
ness manacer at the Nebras
ka Union, said, ' Most of the
so-called bad checks we re
ceive are failures to make
out checks nroDerly." He said
student, in haste, often fill
in one amount of money on
one line and another on t h e
next, invalidating the check.
Greer said it would be im
possible to estimate the num
ber of checks cashed by the
Union for students because
the number "goei. up and
down even with the day of the
week."
Evelyn Buettgenbach, cred
it manager at a Lincoln cloth
ing store, commented, "We do
have trouble with some of
them (students) but most pay
accounts satisfactorily. It's a
situation you have in almost
anv business."
W i I m e r Schmidt, office
manager at a campus dook-
store, said, ' The bad check is
not the big problem; our big
gest problem is insufficient
funds. I think they (students)
are probablv a little care
less." Schmidt said the store pro
vides student charge accounts
to help students learn the fi
nancial responsibilities at
tached to an account. He said
he felt students' basic prob
lem with their banking and
checking accounts is "they
just don't keep up their
stubs,"
NO FORGERIES
Assistant business manager
at another campus bookstore,
store, Robert Weber, said
usual problems with student
checks are "mistakes in fill
ing them out." He said the
store had two forgeries last
year by two different people,
but none so far this year.
Weber said the bookstore
has a problem with theft of
books left outside the store
while students shop, but t h e
store does not take the re
sponsibility for the loss of ar
ticles left on the rack.
Weber said students often
leave their identification
cards in the store. These
could be retrieved at t h e
Bursar's office, where they
are turned in by the store ev
ery day.
Mrs. Charles O'Gara, inter
viewer for student charge ac
counts at a local department
store, said, "The majority of
students are very conscien
tious of their accounts, be
cause at the time we open
them we stress the impor
tance of the account.
'There are also a few that
are bad risks, but we urge
students to open an account
when they get to town in the
fall."
Mrs. O'Gara said she rec
ommends that students open
the accounts in their own
names rather than in their
parents name. The account
must be co-signed by a par
ent or guardian in the begin
ning, however.
