Texas U. offers
'Negro American
culture9 program
Austin, Texas (LP.) The
American Studies Program at
the University of Texas,
directed by William
Goetzmann, has devised a
course entitled "The Negro in
American Culture." The
course is being taught during
the current semester by a
Negro.
The teacher is George
Washington, Jr., an attorney
and a 1954 graduate of the UT
Law School who will hold the
rank of teaching associate
while he works on a doctorate
in American Studies.
ACCORDING TO Professor
Goetzmann, who also is
chairman cf the history
department, the new course is
CEEB
to offer
more aid
(ACP) The College En
trance Examination Board
appears ready to concede that
its admissions testing pro
gram is geared primarily
serving institutions of higher
education and that, as
result a kind of imbalance
exists between this serivce
and the individual needs
students who want to continue
their education beyond high
school.
But the board does not
seem prepared to make any
radical departures in its basic
program of aptitude and
achievement tests. Its
emphasis more likely will be
on offering additional services
to help students make more
enlightened judgements about
themselves and the educa
tional institutions they might
attend.
that was the impression
left at the board s annual
meeting by its president,
Richard Pearson, and by the
chairman and vice chairman
of its commission on tests.
The 21-member commission
was appointed early in 1967 to
conduct a 'broad review" of
the theory and practice of the
College Board s testing pro
gram. It was charged with
gathering "evidence of the
need for change" and
deciding what new examina
tions might be needed in the
future.
So far the commission has
been unable to reconcile
widely divergent views
among its members.
Nevertheless, in Ms annual
report to the College Board,
Mr. Pearson gave a personal
assessment of where the
commission may go. His
remarks hinted at a possible
framework for resolving the
present impasse within the
commission.
Montana
SDS
disbands
(IP.) Former members of
the University of Montana
chapter of Students for a Dem
ocratic Society (SDS) have
agreed to disassociate them
selves from the national SDS
organization. At a recent
meeting they also agreed not
to picket the campus visit of
the Centarl Intelligence Agen
cy representative in charge
of CIA recruiting interviews in'
the MU Graduate Placement
Center.
The SDS chapter at MU was
little more than five months
old before it was disbanded.
Denault M. Blouin, m MU
English instructor and a fac
ulty adviser to the former
SDS chapter on campus, said
the chapter won't function any
more.
"The SDS, he explained,
"at this point does not seem
to be a feasible form for or
ganizing political activity.
"The reason that SDS is no
longer important on this cam
pus, Blouin continued, ""is
that MU students who were
SDS members are no longer
interested in protesing. What
they are interested in it living
meir lives treejy and they
dont think that that can be
done in DS."

the NEW course is the
third step the University has
taken in recent months to
give more emphasis to Negro
studies.
Earlier this year, the UT
History Department an
nounced plans for its first
course in Negro history ("The
Negro in America") which
will be introduced in the 1969
spring semester and will be
taught by the Negro scholar,
Dr. Henry Allen Bullock, Sr..
of Texas Southern University.
f or the fall semester the
History Department in
augurated a series of public
lectures that will bring 10
scholars of Negro history and
culture to discuss various
aspects of the wide sweep of
Negro history. The public
lectures are designed to set
the stage for the . Negro
history course in the spring.

Barbra.

grass in New York s Central
Park, also can hypnotize an
audience sitting in the
cramped quarters of Omaha's
Dundee Theatre.

multi-million dollar film from
being a multi-million dollar
flop.
w m m
FUNNY GIRL" is a studv
of the rise to fame of Fanny
unce, tne most famous of the
Ziegfeld Follies girls. What
makes the movie even more
intriguing is the close
similarity between Fannv
cnce ana uarora Streisand.
Both were Jewish uelv
aucjoings wno used personal
imperfections and pure talent
to become the darlings of
Broadway.
Through the more personal
media of film, Barbra is
reaching to more people.
Television actually was harsh
to ner image. The real
Streisand did not come
across. On stage she could
communicate better than on
the tube. Now the screen
gives her a better chance.
Barbra proves to be a first
rate commedienne. She can
deliver ethnic jokes with style
because she laughs along with
her audience, it doesn't just
laugh at her.
"I'M JUST an onion roll on
a plate full ol bagels," Fanny
says in tne movie. Barbra
evidently has the same self
evaluation. But in her own
'peculiar way, Barbra is
beautiful, oddly beautiful.
But "Funny Girl" is not a
complete success, thanks to
Omar Sharif. He may have
smoldering eyes and a
beautiful moustache, but he
certainly has a hard time
trying to be a romantic hero
in this movie.
He multilates the song
"You Are Woman." His
portrayal of Nick Arnstein is
wooden and clumsy. Its hard
to see why Fanny hated to see
him go if that's the way Nick
really was.
Sharif is effective in only one
scene, when he seduces Fan
ny. Barbra, of course, is the
real catalyst in the seduction
ana snaru does not interfere
with the action. It is one of
three magnificent comic in
erludes in the film.
ANOTHER IS a lavish ren
dition of "His Love Makes Me
Beautiful" which marks
Fanny's debut as a ZieEfeld
girl. Fanny decides to satirize
the song by being a very-
pregnant bride. It is side-.
splitting comedy.
The third is a parody of
Tschaikovsky's "Swan Lake"
ballet.
Director William Wyler
(Ben-Hur "The Collector")
has adapted the stage musical
to the screen with finesse.
"Don't Rain on My Parade"
is filmed from a helicopter
while Fanny is racing to
catch Nick's ship to Europe.
Her transportation includes a
train, a taxi and tug boat and
the camera zooms in on her
from above.
The staging of "People" is
low key. Wyler enables the
force of the Streisand-style to
capture the beauty and
sensitivity of the song.
THE REST of the film is
like most films of its genre.
The costumes are beautiful.
tne chorus girls are beautiful,
the Jewish ghetto of 1910 is
beautiful.
But "Funny Girl'
transcends the boundaries of
a normal Hollywood musical.
Barbra's last song, "My
Man," is the showstopper.
Nick has told Fanny that he
is leaving. She must give her
next performance. It is a solo
number, done the way
Streisand is famous.
Through Barbra's voice,
Fanny's love of Nick and her
profession become one. She
cannot have Nick but she can
sing about him, so all is not
lost.
Schmaltz? Maybe. But it's
damn good schmaltz.

"WHAT THE college
president wants more than

else, for that matter, is their
grant of support on an institu

To achieve this end, he
concludes, university officers
need a stronger voice in
federal policy making. Also,
needed, he says, is a broad
view of the "tootal impact of
federal programs on higher
education."
President BaDDiage views
the fact that the colleges may
have been used to help the

as a logical extension of the

The Nebraska International

New members and all inter
ested persons are invited. A
general meeting will precede
the party.
(LP.) Colgate University
President Vincent M. Varnett
Jr., reported recently to the
campus community on ac
tions at what he termed "an
historic" meeting of Colgate's
Board of Trustees.
Dr. Barnett summarized
the Board's meeting under
the general areas of com-
m u n ication; governance;
coeducation; open housing;
fraternity affairs; and ad
missions, scholarships and
student aid.
HE SAID "Two significant
and farsighted steps were
taken to effect wider
particiaption of faculty and
students in the work of the
Board.
1) There will be one open
meeting of the Board each
year. All faculty and students
will be invited to attend.
2) The Board will seat
faculty and students on all of
its Standing Committees.
except the Executive Com
mittee, with full powers and
obligations. Although official
action must await change of
the by-laws which cannot be
authorized until January, it is
hoped that faculty and
students will proceed at once
to work out the details of
participation and to nominate
committee representatives.
As a general guide, the
Boara accepted the recom
mendation of the Faculty
Conference Committee which
calls for one-third of each
Standing Committee to be
comprised of faculty and
students.
REGARDING COEDUCA
TION, Dr. Barnett noted that
recommendations for prompt
and orderly implementation
of coeducation will be
presented to the Executive
Committee of the Trustees at
a special meeting in early
December. The Executive
Committee is empowered to
act for the Board in this
matter, he said.
As for open housing. Vr.
Barnett reported, "The Board
did not change any of the ex
isting policies on fraternities.
It wishes to emphasize that
there is nothing in the position
of the Board which precludes
further exploration of open
housing. The Board en
courages those houses which
wish to do so to try various
methods of putting this prin
ciple into effect."
Dr. Barnett concluded:
"Recognizing the pressing
need for improved com
munication, the Board
authorized two kinds of
reports to tne campus com
munity? 1) Minutes of the
Board meetings will be
available to anyone who is
interested as soon as possible
after each meeting; 2)
Following each meeting of the
Board, the president will be
expected to make a public
report of Board action on
issues of most immediate
concern to laculty, students
and administration.
