Top cop in Brazil orders tougher censorship Rio de Janiero — Brazil’s new federal police chief, Gen. Antonio Bandeira, has ordered a tougher censorship of the cinema and withdrawn ten films from cir culation after weeks of showing to packed theaters. By Leonard Greenwood (C) 1973. The Los Angeles Times Among the ten are “All Nudity will be Punished,” a Brazilian film directed by Arnaldo Jabor, which has already been shown at the Cannes Film Festival and in SWEET RELEASE opening the Downbeat Mondays 9 p.m. — 2 a.m. THE DOwn BEAT Featured Band Alt Week A LA MODE 151 Pearl, Eu9*ne and caaoetti*.

Jabor received the news of the ban just before he left for Berlin. He said he would not comment because “It’s better not to mess in a house of spiders.” The ban also applies to the United States film “Sacco and Vanzetti” and to the French film “L’Aventure C’est L’Aventure” by Claude Lelouch, the director of “A Man and a Woman.” Sources in Brasilia, the federal capital, say other films are now being reviewed and more are expected to be withdrawn from showing. Gen. Bandeira came to office a month ago to replace Gen. Milo Camepa. The sources in Brasilia said Camepa has been criticized for being too lenient. The regional federal police chief in Rio de Janiero, Gen. Luis Freitas, was relieved of his job in April for the same reason. Censorship has affected all forms of culture and en tertainment in Brazil for several years under the military government, but in practice it has not always been as tough as it might have been under the rules. Nor has it been consistent from region to region. Reports from other centers indicate the federal police have wasted no time putting the new orders into effect. In Porto Alegre, capital of the southern most state of Brazil, police of ficers have even withdrawn from public trailers of some of the ten films which were coming at tractions. “All Nudity” is based on a Brazilian play about a prostitute who leaves her trade to marry and become a middle class housewife. But in the middle class of Brazil, traditions and morality are unbending. With her background she finds she cannot cope and commits suicide. The film received three Golden Owls at the Brazilian Film Festival this year for Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Scenography. The ten films have been with drawn under the usual decrees which forbid the showing of any films which offend public morals. The decree also covers films which “might be capable of in citement against the regime, public order, the authorities and their agents.” It is this clause under which “Sacco and Vanzetti” is believed to have been withdrawn. It is the tale of two immigrants to the United States earlier this century who were convicted and sen tenced to death on the flimsiest of evidence, some given by perjured witnesses. The film has played to packed houses here and its theme of protest against a repressive system of justice has provoked much discussion. It began showing while Brazilian security forces were busy with a new wave of arrests of students and dissenters. editor Managing Editor News Editor, J' Associate Editor : j Departments Faculty-Administration Student Govt.-Programs-Interests City-County Government Eugene Community Environment-Consumer Affairs Editorial Page Editor Editorial Assistant! | Sports Editor National News j Photo Editor i Entertainment Editor Torrie McAllister .

The survey, scheduled to reach 7000 to 9000 post-high school adults and to last about six weeks, is being conducted by the LCC Office of Institutional Research. A similar study was made last year in the western portion of the county. Thirty-six LCC work-study students and young people hired through the Neighborhood Youth Corps will be involved in the can vass. The survey’s coordinator is Earl Barrios, on loan to the college from the Lane Community Action Program. LCC schedules Women’s Workshop A five-day Women’s Summer Workshop designed to acquaint women with education and job opportunities in Lane County is scheduled later this month at Lane Community College (LCC). The workshop, sponsored by the LCC counseling department, is slated for July 23-27 in room 222 of the college’s Center Building. Sessions will meet from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day, and will carry two hours of college credit. Interested women may register for the workshop by notifying the school’s counseling center, and by mailing an application form and a $20 tuition check by July 10. After July 10 arrangements will be made for each woman to take a vocational interest test before the start of the workshop. “I O^DE... SOJJiethiqg Jor eveiry'one.
