Improving Image

These men with whom I spoke
showed a great concern over the
vast majority of the students. As
long as the students remained
subdued, they would not be willing
to sit down and discuss problems.
They thought that students had
many good ideas, but often wanted
instant solutions. The governor
looks forward to meeting with
students on a friendly basis, but
rejects the thought of meeting them
in a violent confrontation. If we
play ball his way then he will play.
If not, then it's too bad for us.

It will take much hard work to
improve the image of students that
the voting public of Virginia holds.
Becoming part of the system is the
distasteful answer. Feelings around
the state are, with the Bateman
resolution passed, if an
administrator leaned very heavily
on conduct in the dorms he would
be praised by the voters. The
reaction to the hard line stand of
the president of VPI and SU last
spring is proof. The road ahead for
Virginia's students appears to be a
straight and narrow path. Where it
will lead, no one knows.

Dalton and Calder-Marshall in "Wuthering Heights"

Robert Fuest's direction is plain
and undistinguished. On the other
hand, he can afford to have simple
direction, for John Cosquillon's
color photography is very beautiful,
capturing a wild and lonely quality
of the moors of England. The music
is by Michel Legrand and is
inoffensive and pleasant, except for
the few occasions when the sound
track drowns out the actors' voices.
