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withdrawn ten films from cir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.

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

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expected to be withdrawn from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ficers have even withdrawn from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to have been withdrawn.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.

University publishes astronomy book
“A Short History of Observatories,” by Marian Card Donnelly,
will be published this month by University of Oregon Books.
The volume is expected to be the next-to-last of the University
book publishing program, which has been discontinued due to budget
cuts.
This book is the culmination of more than a decade of work by the
author, who teaches the history of art and architecture at the
University. Its publication coincides with the 500th anniversary of the
birth of Copernicus, founder of modern astronomy.
It features nearly 80 illustrations, some of them woodcuts,
depicting early observatories.
The cloth-bound, 163 page book may be ordered directly from
University of Oregon Books, Eugene, Oregon 97403. Price per copy is
$7.50.
Graduates win journalism citations
University journalism graduates Ken Van Osdal of Astoria and
Judy Sly of Creswell have been awarded citations for achievement by
the Sigma Delta Chi Journalism Society.
The society has awarded citations for achievement to 84 jour
nalism graduates who were selected as outstanding in their classes at
colleges and universities where the society has chapters.
Award recipients are chosen on the basis of character, scholarship
in all college work, and competence to perform journalistic tasks. The
decision in each case is made by a committee composed of student,
faculty and professional members of the society.
IEC seeks volunteer staff help
The International Education Center (IEC) is looking for volunteer
staff people who have a few hours a week to help in the office. The
work would include helping people who use IEC services to find in
formation on charter flights, travel tips, education opportunities
abroad, and cultural programming. People interested in devoting
some time to organizing and participating in Foreign Student
Orientation, Fall 1973, are needed also. The work will require two to
four hours per week.
Interested persons may contact the IEC in the EMU or by calling
ext. 3721.

LCC begins survey for programs and classes
A door-to-door survey that will attempt to point up what Lane
County adults want in the way of programs and classes at Lane
Community College (LCC) began this week throughout most of
eastern Lane County.
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.
