attempt to convince voters that
government is as efficient .is it

rent s.iles t,i\ on the ballot as
earlv as November
In Mari h, however, the gov
ernor said she did not think the
Legislature should trv to pass a
replacement tax for Measure 5
She felt voters might not at -
eept a now tax because of their
belief that government is ineffi
cient and lacks credibility
Roberts said it was important
that state voters approve new
taxes liefore I'ttLI-'iS, when the
state's share of local school
costs is expel ted to jump to
S 1 7 billion That w o u I d
amount to alxiut a third ol the
current budget

tentimes deserted by the white
dominated country, it is from

must turn if they are to survive
At one point in the film, fu
rious tells a crowd of young
men thut killing themselves us
they are doing is exactly what
white America wants. To save
themselves from destruction,
fie tells them, they must turn to
each other for support, because
they're not getting it from those

country
Doyx N ihr Hitod is brilliant

technique while giving the au

to think about and hopefully
take some real action. It's a
great interweaving of character
studies, slices of life, lively, up
beat youthful exuberance and a
rich, textured moral movie
with heartfelt messages.
