Students give 'Pigeons' mixed reviews
Although scenes were shot in the Lawrence area, the only one Thompson said she recognized was that of Landon driving on Interstate 70 and turning onto the East Lawrence on ramp.
acting, a good story and was very sentimental," he said.
Shelley Koch, Omaha senior, salo she also enjoyed the film. Koch said it wasn't the best she had seen, but she loved it. It was emotional without being sadov.
Stacey Chapman, Overland Park junior, said she started watching halfway through the movie. She said that although it was strange to see familiar sights on national television, the movie itself was not overly impressive.
She also recognized shots taken in Overland Park on the corner of 95th Street.
"I thought the best part was the relationship between the grandfather and the grandson," she said. "Art Carney did an excellent job."
"I was very surprised that they chose Overland Park out of all the places they could have filmed the movie to show a prosperous developing area," she said.
Michael Goulding, Shawnee senior, added that the movie's locality made it more interesting.
Alvars Sics, Lenexa junior, agreed. "It had a pretty good storyline, but it was kind of boring," he said.

Red dye banned after cancer risk discovered
The government yesterday banned some uses of the color additive Red No. 3. The Food and Drug Administration announced that some uses of redness were here because Red No. 3 in high doses had caused cancer in rats.
The cancer risk is considered so small that the FDA allowed existing products containing the color to be used, which will apply only to new manufacturing.
An FDA statement said the risk of getting cancer from Red No. 3 was no larger than 1 in 100,000 during a lifetime of consumption. That compares with a natural disaster risk of about in 100,000 and a risk from inhaling or air pollution about six in 100,000, the agency reported.
The FDA action prevents the use of urea in products that mixed the color of the paint.
Direct addition of the dye to a product will continue, but the FDA also announced its intention eventu-
Foods and cosmetic products probably won't be as colorful
allv to halt this use.
Under the new rules, Red No. 3 no longer can be used in any cosmetic product, including lipsticks, powders, blushes, shampoos, skin care lotions or bath oils, said Emil Corwin, FDA spokesman.
It also is excluded from use in cake frostings, cough drops, herbs and spices, flavorsations, some processed fruits and juices, chewing gum, cake frostings, candies, foods. Even the wax on cheeses no longer can contain the dye, Corwin said.
Red No. 3 is one of seven primary courses approved for food drug and consent counseling.
But John Hallagan, a representative of the Certified Color Manufacturers Association, said the dye was important because it is the "closest to primary red."
"There will be a number of products that won't be red any more," Hallagan said. "The pallet of colors
will be reduced significantly. The variability will be reduced."
The six other colors are Red No. 40, Blue Nos. 1 and 2, Green No. 3, and Yellow Nos. 5 and 6.
Blending No. 3 with other primary colors could make a variety of shades, ranging from orange to maroon. Red No. 40, Hallagan said, is a different shade of red and is not as stable.
Hallagan said that about 300,000 pounds of munufactured fertilizer be used in the United States.
Irene Malin, a representative of the Cosmetic Toiletility and Fragrance Association, said that a 1989 survey of cosmetic manufacturers showed No. 3 was not widely used because of uncertainty about its status.
As a result, dropping Red No. 3 from cosmetic use will not have a serious effect on the colors available to customers, Malbin said.
Nonetheless, Edkavanaugh, association president, attacked the FDA action as being "arbitrary and capricious" because the agency permitted Red No. 3 to continue to be used in food "and other ingested products."
"It is grossly and fundamentally unfair that the agency is immediately banning the color in products with the least consumer exposure while allowing food uses to continue for the years it will take the administrative process to be completed," Kavanaugh said.
Under the FDA order, the Red No. 3 ban still can be applied directly to some products until further agency action is taken.
That means it still can be applied directly to meat, pet food, nut products, fruit and fruit juices, candy and confections, breakfast cereals and ingested drugs.
Corvin said the cherries in fruit cocktail, for example, could continue to be tinted red by the color additive.
Louis Sullivan, Secretary of Health and Human Services, announced the ban.
"The actual risk posed by Red No. 3 is extremely small." Sullivan said.
Confessions of an English Major
"My dictionary was missing for six months and I didn't even notice..."
"That's pretty amazing for someone who used to suffer from severe dictionary dependency.
You see, as an English major, I write a lot of papers. So, in search of good grades, I used to spend a lot of time with my dictionary.
Now with my word processing program, I don't even need it. The built-in spell check identifies misspelled words and even lists spelling alternatives. Now I spend more time writing and creating without the interruption of having to look up words.
Macintosh gets an A+ in my book!"
