Ity TOM OOOOKTT Emerald Columnist Our latest information concern ing investigation in the broad canting Industry has it that the Federal Communications Com mission will continue where the Keoate Committee leaves off. As more and more of the controls used by the industry come to light, both the broadcasters and the federal agency charged with that area are pledging to mend their ways. (executives In broadcasting, the networks, the package producers, ami important station owners are frankly worried about the whole affair. Their fears are based on the possibility that legislation will be brought to bear upon the industry that will restrict what has been a more or less uncon trolled business. Most codes, by the National Association of Broadcasters and the VCC are simply recommenda tions and have no actual penal power. The entire affair may bring about some advantage for the broadcast Industry by re lieving the networks of their obligation to let the sponsor call the tune on programming. If the scandals result in tele vision programming being put back into the hands of the net works, instead of being dictated by the advertiser, they will mark an important step In the evolu tion of television, still a very young medium.

The first entertainment broke loose here at Mahlon Sweet air I port, when the plane which was i to take Director Horace Robin son and his cast of 17 to San l Francisco, was late in departing.

One of the firs* post-World War I films dealing not with universal themes but expressly Fiance, “L'Atalante” is a product! of aggressive Director Jean Vigo, and it partially marks his turn ing from “precious expcrimental isrr.” to themes of vigor. The University F 11 m Society makes possible the local showing of film masterpieces from around the world which might otherwise be impossible for University stu dents to enjoy. Objectives noted "Our objective," says Preston Tuttle, society director, "is to try( and give student not only the feel ing of remote cultures but also of the exciting emotional and dramatic vitality existing in these countries. These films are all permanent experiences." This season’s lineup of 16 films include masterpieces of the art from France, Russia, Albania, Mexico. India, Argentina, Spain, and Greece, as well as the United States. The schedule is especially in teresting this year ir. that the films hav* been grouped in four distinct CHtt-gorier: Adolescence in Society, Man in Industrial So ciety, Land and the People, and Superstition and Legend. Included are some of the best motion pic tures of such artists as Chaplin. Buuuel. Vigo, Kiscnstein, Pagnol, and Welles. Comprehensive coverage According to Tuttle. "This is our best season yet because we nave more genuine masterpieces, In terms of the distinguished di rector* represented. Also, they are more comprehensive in terms of the coverage of different countries." The four themes, he says, are “then ca of content. The group as a whole succeeds somehow in representing the motion picture as an art form in ::s own right.

Birthday celebrated On the Pacific flight, made on Military Air Transport Service, Director Robinson celebrated a birthday. Cast members, mean while, were getting their first crack at entertaining servicemen, in the air, and getting friendly enough with other passengers to mix baby formulas and act as horses for the kids. More reserved activities, ac cording to Correspondent Keith Powell, included knitting, read ing, and playing cards. Working together has been an important aspect of the troupe’s activities ever since September rehearsals on the UT stage. The flights necessitating the packing of settings into 14 footlockers and a canvas ironing board cover, each performance here was fol lowed by set striking, packing, and unpacking. Each member responsible Each cast member has his own specific responsibilities and tasks, doubling up here and improvising there. It’s easy to see why the behind-the-scenes action had to be thoroughly rehearsed, just as did the actual play. Most cast members are Univer sity students receiving credit for ‘he tour.
