year he served as chairman of
the Business School delegation
in the senate. He is a past IFC
Justice and this past year he

In stating his major objec
tives for the coming year,
Chanin said he hopes to in
crease communication between
the Greeks and the Campus as
a whole. He also talked of
revamping the pledge system
and the way in which rush is
handled at the present time
Chanin also announced the
plans for a new kind of maga
zine next fall.
Chanin said. We feel a need
for a magazine which isn’t
committed in advance to any
particular set of political be
liefs—a magazine which will
examine objectively and in
depth the important issues
which affect students
He explained that the maga
zine, called Kerux after the
Greek word for journal, will not
be of the literary type. It will be
a general interest magazine
containing articles which in
form, entertain and , where
necessary, offer constructive
criticism
The IFC will be the publisher
and give financial support to
Kerux.
"In order to insure that Ke
rux will be completely fair and
objective we are recruiting an
experienced, well qualified
staff Our editor-in-chief will be
Joel Blackwell, a junior jour
nalism student not affiliated
with any Greek organization,"
Chanin said.

Union Sets Film Tonight
By DIANE CARVER
Thursday evening at 8 p.m, the University
Union film committee is featuring "The King of
Hearts Though not as well known as some of
the other films shown this year, its satire and
balanced solemnity in approach brings a true
experience of wonder to the audience
Filmed in a World War 1 setting in France,
the film could stand on its own for sheer (un
filled spirit created by a singular sensitivity and
charm
Alan Bates, known well for his performance
as the Englishman in Zorba the Greek", gives
an excellent portrayal of a conscientious soldier
sent to save a small town from destruction All
he finds are the inmates of an insane asylum
who take over the town providing delightful
comedy for the viewer The absurdity of life and
war becomes increasingly clear, until one must
question if the tears are from laughing or
crying
The "King of Hearts" is a must for anyone
wondering about the existence of reality and
just how valuable it actually is. For the stu
dents convenience the film will be shown in the
south auditorium of the Journalism-Psychology
Complex Admission price is 50 cents
