University Daily Kansan Thursday, February 28, 1974 5 Duke Is Cop, Judge, Jury By BYRON MYERS Kansas Reviewer If you're a real law and order buff and you don't mind watching a policeman bend the law to unrecognizable proportions, then you see "McQ" now showing at the Granada you think crooked cops don't really deserve it, fitted, then avoid this movie like the plaque. "MQC," starring John Wayne as a "busted cop whose methods are illegal and so is his gun," concrerates a policeman whose career has been a personal affair and decides to find the culpits and clean their clock, regardless of whether the methods used are illegal, excessively brutal and unconscionable to a supposedly dedicated to upholding the law. Because McQ is determined to get those bad guys at all costs and by any method, he decides to violate both drug laws and firearms laws—and the public be damned. He coerces an informer to supply him with information by supplying her with cocaine (which he obtains illegally). And when relieved of his permit to carry firearms, he just shrugs it off and borrows a submachine gun. He pursues his adversaries relentlessly, eventually reducing them all to candidates for a mortician's art. Very efficient, that is, he can maintain the tradition has always been to get his man. Eddie Albert plays Wayne's superior officer in the police force. He doesn't do much in the role except to look out for him, but he also sack Wayne from the police force, but at the movie's end he admits he was wrong and Wayne was right, despite the fact that Wayne riddled two cars with submachine gun fire and brought about the untimely death of their colleague, they were alien enemies too, Albert decides to overlook Wayne's transgressions and return him to the police force—sort of a "not guilty but don't let it happen again" "McQ" probably isn't any worse than most of the other cop movies. It is an objectionable movie, but it can be worked with. WongWee intends to Clark Eastwood one better by using an Ingram 19mm submachine gun. All the same, there's something wrong with the movie's attitude toward the law. There's something wrong with setting a law enforcement officer up as judge, jury and executioner. It seems that we've had enough of that in our history and are just now beginning to get over it. To gloss such activity and hold it up for social apportion we should also make each man is equal before the law and must play by the rules to get fair treatment. Perhaps the message of "McQ" is that men are equal before the law but some of them are a great deal more equal than others, especially John Wayne.

The collection of photographs, "Diane Arbus: An Aperture Motograph," looks like a coffee table book. It's large and flat and expensive. But anyone who picks up this book expecting to see more cute pictures of women is out of order of identical twin girls is in for a shock. many of her pictures are midges, dwarfs, transvestites and assorted misfits. The late Diane Arbus (she committed suicide in 1971) rarely photographed cutie children; instead, to record less common realities, she focused on darinly see or choose to see. The subjects of Such subjects must be treated with extreme care to avoid offensiveness. Arbus photographs slip past offensiveness to the private realities of their subjects. ART "There's a quality of legend about freaks," Arbus said in an interview quoted in the book. "Like a person in a fairy tale who stops you and demands that you answer a riddle. Most people go through life in their own way, without experience. They've (the freaks) already passed their test in life. They're aristocrats." Linda Ronstadt Scores With 'Don't Cry Now' Linda Ronstadt's career since her popular debut several years ago with the Stone Ponies has been one of considerable progress. Her latest album, "Don't Cry Now," continues this trend and places her among the best female vocalists of the among the best rock genre in a class with subluminaries as Joni Mitchell and Judy Collins. By JIM HUBBELL Kansan Reviewer Arbus' photographs seem to sum up, in a few square inches, the whole lives of each of their subjects. Even a picture of an upper-middle-class family sunbathing in a backyard on a Sunday afternoon has much to say to those who take the time to look. Bv JIM HUBBELJ The man and woman are lying on their backs, each on a redwood lounge chair with plastic upholstered cushions. The wife, perhaps in her late twenties, has blonde hair and wears a dark cardigan that unveiling and unappealing bikini. Her eyes are closed. The husband, whose eyes are covered with one hand, is wearing striped seersucker bermuda shorts. Between the two chairs is a small wooded aishtray, ashtray, a cigarette lighter and an empty glass. The album contains a wide range of material, most of which is well suited to the instruments used in the recording. A few feet behind the couple, their son, 7- or 8-years-old, leans over a wading pool made of cast plastic. The unnaturally well-fit arm and backyard stretches out behind the family. Each member of the family seems aloof from the others, but waiting for the next one. "The Fast One," one of three songs on the album written by producer John David Southern, and the country and western group Neesha, demonstrate Ronstadt's fine form on up-tempo rock tunes. "Colorado" and the album's single, "Love Has No Pride," demonstrate the musical and subtlety of her approach to ballads. reviews The only flaw in the choice of material for the album is an otherwise fine song, "Sail Away," written by Randy Newman. The song conveys a feeling and fail to convey the irony in the original. SPOONER ART MUSEUM—The museum will show works by Peter Thompson, associate professor of painting and sculpture, and Rick Dishinger, assistant professor of painting and sculpture. March 4-27 The cold sterility of that photograph is a great contrast to the life revealed in a photograph of three Russian midges in a living room on 100th Street in New York City. The people in this picture are dressed in a striped suit and wearing a striped dress and a floral print apron. All three midges are middle-aged or older. The supporting musicians on the album are unobtrusive, yet quite proficient. Especially worthy of note is guitar stylist Blackwell, who although not an outstands technician, furnishes some hardeded lines that contrast well with hustad's lucid voice. Kathy Buehler—Tues.

Some pictures are harsh, some are ironical. Most of them show scenes and people we have never seen A large wooden cabinet and a wooden dresser in the background are covered with knick-knacks and small plants. Snapsheets on the walls frame all the lights, a frame add still more life to the scene.
