'Brewster'a Dream
By BION BEEBE Kansan Reviewer
"Brewster McCloud" is a dream. A dream of escape. A dream of flying away from all the earthbound smallness, pettiness and doomed to fail, but is glorious in its one brief moment of existence
"Brewster McCloud" is also a strange film. It is off in a world of its own. Many questions are left unanswered and unexplained. Few leaves behind a jumble of emotions and impressions.
It deals with a young man, Brewster, and his mother (?), who is played by Sally-Hot Lips-Kellerman. Young Brewster lives in a fatal shelter in the bowels of the乳房 of the Astronauts Hastie is working on a pair of wings that will enable him to fly.
Whatever Brewer needs he takes and if anyone objects, he is covered with strangled and covered with ropes. If a number of murders is quite unsettling to the Houston police, and a hot-shot from California is called in.
Intersepersed throughout this action are short scenes with a attention to detail in their habits and plumage of certain birds. These explanations deal also with the people and actions of the peacock. For example: a description of the peacock is followed by the end of the well-dressed detective.
The police narrow in on Brewer but are thwarted at every turn by his "mother." There are may short and very long in the show. In fact, the movie is funny all the way to its bitter end.
PROBABLY THE best scene is the extended, seat-belt-buckling automobile chase, a great take off on the famous "Ballistic" chase with telephone and slow-motion shots and a few wrecked cars.
Acting does not play too big a role in "Brewster." The performances are good, but we've seen all the characters before. However, they are not so much stereotypes as they are
caricatures and almost all the characters are hilarious.
The detective is super-good, super-cool and super-handsome. He is always at the center of the ambitious politician (possibly another take-off from Bulldit). The only unusual person in the city are Brewster and his "mother."
BREWSTER IS an innocent young man who has been instilled with-or has never lost the life-the role is an enigma that she explained. She leaves after Brewster has been corrupted by contact with other people. The man does not fit into the actual hooligan is often.
Whatever else can be said about "Brewster McCloud", it is a wild, funny and entertaining film. The ending is a little bit messy and adds to the mystery about what the movie is trying to say.
Perhaps it is all for the best after all. As the professor says at the beginning: "We shall draw no choreography to the dream would cease to exist."

During spring enrollment the number of coupons sold exceeded the capacity of Hohe Auditorium, where the festival will be held, by several hundred. The number of coupons unpaid or returned) since then has not been great enough to eliminate the surplus, Miller said.
The Festival is from March 21st, in technically, tech-
nically, coupons may be redeemed the final day of the festival. No refund, however, will be made upon receipt of the $19 bill.

Chalmers' Quote Distorted
Laos Issue Baited
Chalmers said he had received irate telephone calls from the Wichita area indicating that reports there had said that he was contemplating closing the school and present U.S. involvement in Laos.
Many Kansas newspapers carried this statement as the lead to stories about Chalmers' attempts to force a change according to Chalmer, by the time that same story was seen on television at least one radio station all other had dropped away. The story became "Chancellor of the University of Pensacola" U.S. infantrymen are sent into Laos," leaving out his specification of "massive injury by American combat troops."
Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. discovered the bait and press last week. His reply to a call from a speech he gave for the Kansas City Press Club Thursday, Feb. 16, said he "was called calls and many questions from Kansas cities. The comment is carried by the Associated Press"
E. "Learning Chalmers Jr., chancellor of the University of Kansas, says he believes 'we might well as close the campus, if we can.' The group invade Laos. The campus reaction would be as difficult or worse than we experienced last spring with Cambodia and Kent about 50 members of the City Press Club Tuesday night."

this statement was only one of two questions from the audience his prepared address. In most press reports the speech itself was
He said he found the question unanswered. He said the campus is calm it is describe as student apathy and when the campus is turbulent it is severe.
According to Chalmers, "The question that provoked this statement, which hasn't appeared in the media anywhere, was a reference to a national magazine and its report on the student apathy—did I agree that students are apathetic?"
"I for one wanted to know what happened to that great quantity of space in between, where would it be concerned, committed to responsibility and active with being, either apathetic or roaring," he said.
"It seems to me that it's literally batting for any media to discard this as apathy," he said. "We can't help but wonder
On Tuesday, Cancellor Chimeier said that the commitment is still present and that the lack of regular demonstrations or protest activities are a concern.
The same questioner then asked if there was a possibility of a repeat of last spring and the other day you want an indication of student engagement, I can tell you that it is just as high in connection with Southeast Asia today as it was last year. "Indeed, if an event like Cambodia would occur now our distress would be fully as great."
Chalmers noted the different tone of the reorganized chapter of his work, with comments in Vortex and said he did not see any of this as evidence.
if that particular magazine wasn't short on news about college campuses and wouldn't see to some things stirred up."
"I don't see this as apathy — we're not reverting back to the silent generations of the 'Sons at all,' he said. "It's a measure of a loss." But he committed, as far as I can see, is not one bit lessened.
Chalmers said he thought the commitment was an even greater challenge for him, a political left now perceived that it would be a long process to demonstrate that their life style is better than the prevailing norm.
"I think we're likely to see activity show up this spring in our schools and task forces related to thieves' pollution of our environment," he said. "This could be a very important thing." It doesn't read apathy at all.
"Some media people are looking for a stereotype story and they only know two stereotype lines on students—apathy and irony. I don't blame them for not understanding the current lack of evidence, but trying to make it fit the pattern of the '30s is absurd."

Feb. 24 to March 16.
Edward Eddy, director of the Black Theatre program, said, "The play fosters on the struggle of a black family for something better. It is not just about playing, but about understanding." According to Eddy the play is mainly concerned with a black family search for importance and the conflicts of morality within the family.
The author, Loven Elder, says of his first play, "It is really based on the daily ritual of survival in the black community which does not necessarily have anything to do with black-white confrontations or any clenched-fist anger."
