Sunday in ARI-i auditorium, Dassin’s first French film, leili, reputedly one of the finest crime nicks ever produced, tells of a careiully-planned, shrewdly- executed jewel robbery. Characters are developed so that the audi- lnoe identifies with the thieves and hopes for their success, A full thirty-five minutes of the iilm IS without dialogue — each moment and action of the robbery is scrutinized; the viewer {eels all the suspense of participating in the robbery. Bosley mether. of The New York Times, said that Dassin, "ltaged the robbery like a ballet,” Hawaii, taken from the book by James A. Mitchner, and star- ring Julie Andrews, Max Von Sydow, and Richard Harris is showing at the Strand Theater through Tuesday. SLEEPY SENATE SIFTS SMALLTALK SGA President Ric MacDow- ell, at Wednesday’s Senate meet< ing, expressed his disappoint- merit in Students‘ lack of in- volvement in campus issues, Noting that few students are discussing changes in the hall lystem, and that few showed up at last week's discussion or the Haveman curriculum re- port, Machwell said that if students are not participating now, they have no right to com plain about future develop- ments. Lack of involvement and plans tor a study group on cities to meet during the second semester. He wished to make it clear that all plans are still tentative Plans call for an interdiscipli- nary study group, with the par- ticipants to receive two aca- demic credits. Groups would meet in Seminar form, receive visitors, and go on field trips. Members or a iaculty study group on the same prob- lems would guide discussions in the student groups. Possibilities for visitors in— clude the Ecumenical institute apparent lack of concern, he laid, "negate the whole idea of student responsibility and student power,” MncDowell also announced LIIB NOTES By DARCY KELLEY Basic research does not set out to make better mousetraps.

These fish are viviparous. Embryos develop inside the combination ovary-uterus until birth. The development of viviparity in fish has produced many morphological and physiological adaptations, in order to obtain nutrients from the ovarian fluid, for example, the embryos have developed specialized structures which iunction in nosonion. Such structures include the long ribbon~like strands of tissue (processes) that grow (mm the perianal tin. Prior to Mendoza’s investigations, it was assumed that these processes were resorbed by the Iish shortly after birth. Mendoza observed that the processes may drop on instead. Leaves drop off trees in the tall. tar example, because of the growth or an no- scission layer across the base pt the leaf-stem. Similarly, Mendoza is investigating (among other areas) the changes in structure that precede the detachment of processes. Mendoza was introduced to these fish in graduate school, be- came interested in them and is Still doing research on thEir biologi- cal tunctions. Why? He might develop a new pregnancy test along the way, but this consideration has little to do with his motivation tor research.

SENATE— (Continued on Page ii) SCARLET AND BLACK Page Elva SHOW INITIATIVE FUND USE By LEE ARBETMAN, INITIATIVE FUND COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN Now in its second year of operation, the Initiative Fund is finally being used as It was originally intended: to encour- age uniqueness and creativity in social planning. Formation of the fund, which was put Into operation in the Fail or 1966, stemmed from a desire on the part at the halls to receive extra financial old when joining forces on a party, and from the Senate's wish to increase social interaction be tween North and South Campus. At that time it was decided that the halls could apply to the fund for inter-hall or hall- taculty social gatherings. Ob- iections raised were primarily concerned with the {act that halls were being unfairly co- erced into multi-hall parties which occasionally turned out to be fiascoes. This year, with a liberaliza- tion of application criteria, most requests for money have come from groups of students inter- ested in providing events open to the entire campus. A few examples of events either fully or else in large part sponsored by the fund include the Chess game on Barber Plaza, the BIi‘d»Bowl Hall, the GRAB (out- door dance and sleep-out), the ____’_.___ JEWELL TO SPEAK Dr. David W.

In addition, the fund has helped to defray the costs of several ottcampus parties and dinners tor students who are tundless for social planning even though they pay the same at.» tivities tea as the on-campu: students. Halls are still encouraged to apply for help in financing their social projects (though multi-hall planning is not I requisite condition). But this year the Initiative Fund ha- been able to liberalize its cri— terin enough to allow it to sup port events which illustrate creativity and uniqueness—two glaring weaknesses in most hall sponsored social affairs. need our professional drycleaning finishing . . . they’re beautiful when ya buy them .. why _ not keep them that way with our professional dchIeaning and famous STIVNU finish- ing . . . it costs you no man.
