The independent student pro­
jects are under way. “Hardsell”
is the project of director David
Harvey and actors Bob Ems and
Jim Nicodemus. Playing March 7
and -9 at noon and 7:30 March 9,
Hardsell features Ems as an ob­
noxious PR man who’s out to sell
the Ayatollah to the world.
“It’s a farce,” said Harvey,
“the culture clash of two
cultures. Actually it’s one man’s
culture against an entire culture.”
The one act play is a
monologue where Ems explains
his troubles and trials with Ira­
nians to a janitor, Jim
Nicodemus.
“He’s not a nice guy,” said
Ems about his character, “not a
nice guy at all.” He described his
character as “an ethocentric per-
PLAY PREVIEW
son. He has no respect for
foreign nations. If it’s not
American, he doesn’t recognize
it.”
So far the trio feels that the
play is coming along well. Said
Harvey, “Bob and I have been
working for a month now, after
starting in January. Since Bob
had all the lines, the first month
was concentrated on him. We
just stuck in Jim last week, all he
has is blocking.”
The independent student
theater is for students to produce
and showcase their own talents
and ideas. Said Barbara Bragg,
“It’s the opportunity for students
to produce some form of theater
that they always wanted to do.
Could be a one act, an original
script, children’s theater, mime.»
It gives the opportunity for total­
ly student produced theater.”

‘Action Jackson’ electrifying, well worth the money
by Mark Borrelli
Staff Writer
Have you ever gone to a
movie, that you have liked
everything about, and would
without hesitation pay another
five dollars to see again?
This very thing happened to
me when I saw the new hit release
“Action Jackson.” The movie
starred Carl Whethers, and the
very beautiful, sexy Vanity. To be
honest with you, I came to see the
movie just to see Vanity, but
upon seeing it I was impressed
with the acting of both Carl
Whethers and Vanity.
Whethers portrays a Detroit
cop, his name Jerico Jackson.
But due to his Rambo attitude he
was dubbed “Action Jackson.”
Jackson was a lieutenant, until
getting into some trouble with big
time business man Mike
Deltaplane. Jackson lost rank, he
dropped to a sargeant, and his
only action after that was filing
papers behind the desk.
The movie starts a few years
later, Jackson still behind the
desk as a sargeant, and
Deltaplane still a corrupt business
“An investment in
knowledge pays
the best interest.”
Your Government has published
thousands of books to serve America.
And now the Government Printing
Office has put together a catalog
of the Government’s “Bestsellers”—
almost a thousand books in all.
Books like The Space Shuttle at
Work, Starting a Business,
~ U.S. Postage Stamps, and
National Parks Guide and
Map. I daresay there’s even
information on one of my
favorite subjects—printing.

man. But now Dellaplane is in the
killing business, and “Action” is
on the job.
Along the way, Jackson
MOVIE REVIEW
recruits Vanity who plays a
junkie, singer, and mistress to
Deltaplane to help him nail
Deltaplane.
The relationship between Vani­
ty and Jackson is cold at first,
and leaves Vanity wondering why
Jackson is called “Action.” But
eventually, after Vanity realizes
that Dellaplane is a murderer,
who will kill anyone who at­
tempts to stop him from taking
control of a powerful union she
decides to help “Action” get his
man.
The movie was funny
throughout, it was also an action
packed movie, “Ha! Ha!”
Possibly one of the best movies I
have ever seen, and I strongly
recommend that you go see it,
that’s why I’m not going to tell
you how it ends. But even if you
don’t like the movie guys, Vanity
is still well worth the five dollars.
And for the ladies reading* this,
I’m sure you will enjoy watching
Carl Whethers in “ACTION.”
