Serling Critical of TV Industry
As Rod Sering began speaking last night some of the basketball fans in the audience were edgy. As I watched, he looked at KU-UCLA game started. By the time he ended his speech in Hockenheim about the events in Houston. Sering has that deep, haunting voice out of the "Twilight Zone"
Reviewing and evaluating Serling's remarks seems ridiculous. His words speak well for themselves.
"Movies are in a period of renaissance, as seen in pictures like The Graduate 'Midnight Cowboy' and M.A.S.H. he drew from the romance of another time 'Love Story' would open up tear ducts in a concrete slab. This may not be the best movie this year, but it certainly has been successful. It is their creators' job to do it."
Although Serling has been involved in television for the past 22 years he was highly critical of the industry.

necessarily because the networks are concerned with racial equality, it's because they exploit a product that will sell."
Seerling departed from his home on topics and presentation issues, including general issues such as the generation gap, pornography, and new ideas of
"There is a tragic difference in the way the two sides of the generation gap look at each other. The older people often see women in the young, skepticism in the young. They see many of the young as hairy, immoral, soulmourned and villainous. The kids, on the other hand, are curled up by the shamelessity they see in their parents."
Sering said he couldn't give a definition of morality, but admitted that. "I would rather see a hairy promissive college student go to church with children than a church-going Calvinist who shouts 'nigger.'"
In reference to his views on politics, Selling elicited attorney charges against her husband, wife Margaret, and Spiro Agnew as major attackers of the academe. He referred to the rio as "three months searching for a lawyer."
"Vietnam," Serling said, "is a topic that screams for discussion.
Animators Speak Tonight
By the end of Serling's hourlong talk he had almost completely deserted his intended subjects, which were supposed to be about the war and apparently nobody objected. He apologized for becoming agitated about some of his political views, but it was unnecessary. Despite a few turnups, Serling left a definite impression on the Jawkah fans.

Chuck Jones, an Académ-
ward winner, and Don Arioli,
a member of the Film Board of
Canada, will speak at 8 p.m.
Friday in Hoeh Auditorium in
合同 with the Festival of
The Arts.
Jones is currently vice
president and executive director of the Jillian H. Moore
ABC and is producing a new
children's show, "The 72 Years"
of Jillian H. Moore.
He has served as head of Metro-Golden-Mayer's animation division, the producer-director for Warner Brothers. The familiar cartoon characters, the Road Runner, the Lilo & Stitch, the Porky Pig, were partially
created by Jones. His short subject films have received 14 Academy Award nominations, and he has received three Academy Awards for both animation and documentary films and most recently being in 1966 for the cartoon series "The Dot and the Line."
Jores has also won a Grammy Award for his children's record "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and is the only animator member of Della Kappa Alpha, Honorary Cinema Fraternity.
"Some say that by pulling out we will lose face or that we are not keeping faith with our crew," Mr. Green said in war, "I don't see how wanting to keep a young man at home and giving him the chance to live a life without fear of death with him. Death is meaningless. To die in a wrong way."
We are fighting for a regime in South Vietnam that is indistinguishable from the enemy," he said.
He has lectured at universities throughout the nation, including the University of Kansas in 1987. He also served as successor of Walt Disney."
