T HE KLH Model Forty-One stereo tape deck
is the first home recorder that makes top-
quality musical recordings at 3% inches per sec
ond instead of the usual 7 l ,g ips.
That can exactly double the economy of tape
recording. And for the first time, you get enough
uninterrupted recording time in one direction —
64 minutes on a standard reel of tape, 96 minutes
on thinner l-mil tape-to handle practically any
piece of music or radio broadcast. No need for
extra-large and expensive reels. No performance
compromises such as automatic reversing. Above
all, no interruptions and no running out of tape
before the music stops.
Only KEH recorders can deliver full-range,
noise-free performance at 3% ips, thanks to their
use of the Dolby Audio Noise Reduction System.”
The Model Forty-One also provides 1 % ips record
ing for speech and background music-plus 7 !y i|>s
for compatibility with other recorders and tapes.
Its performance is matched by a simplicity of
operation that makes it easy to get that perform
ance. Come sec for yourself just how easy it is to
o|)erate, and how easily it fits in with any stereo
system.

The April 22 environmental
teach-ins may have been a suc
cess and they may not have,
depending on who's looking at
it. Meanwhile, lots of students
in lots of colleges are thinking
about where to take the "ecolo
gy movement" - especially in
the face of the U S invasion of
Cambodia, events at Kent State
University, and other pressing
aspects of the American politi
cal situation.
A regional student confer
ence on the environment was
held at Tulane University in
New Orleans this past weekend
and attended by about 50 stu
dents. including four of us rep
resenting Balance at the Uni
versity of Georgia Workshop
topics ranged from consumer
education to civil disobedience:
leaders ranged from a New
Orleans lawyer who had
stopped highway construction
through a residential area to an
early SNCC activist who was
once beaten by the Ku Klux
Klan Student approaches ran
from going-through-channels
pressuring to violent revol
ution
Now that everybody from
George Wallace to Jerry Rubin
has spoken for some sort of
environmental activism, the
establishment has quietly sat
back to wait for the rivers to
flow clean again But to most in
the movement, things are nei-
'66graduate
receives
two awards
Susan Farran Percy, 1966
graduate of the University
School of Journalism. re
cently won two first-place
awards in competition spon
sored by the Louisiana Press
Association and the Louisiana
State University School of Jour
nalism.
Mrs. Percy's six-part series,
titled "Youth and Drugs," won
the Communitv Service award
and took first place in the Best
Feature Story contest.
She presently serves as
women's edior and feature
writer for the West Bank Guide
and the Jefferson Democrat,
two weekly papers published in
suburban New Orleans. La.
Mrs Percy is a member of
Theta Sigma Phi professional
journalism society and the
press club of New Orleans
ther that simple nor that tame
"WHAT YOU are doing is
radical, a workshop leader told
us "American capitalism and
conservation cannot co-exist ”
While most of those involved
feel that a whole new approach
to life, both individually and
socially, is utlimatelv needed,
the conversation was not gener
ally on a revolutionary level,
Sam Love, southern coordi
nator of the national teach-in
office in Washington, saw house
wives as potential allies with
students in the environmental
fight i In Athens, a group of
housewives have been quite
active in disseminating infor
mation at shopping centers and
returning wasteful excess pack
aging to local merchants )
Among others at the confer
ence. Love favored a decentral
ized movement with a national
office limited to coordination
efforts He said the national
staff will be reduced now that
the teach-in has passed and
money is running out Fund
sources available to peace and
civil rights movements are not
easily available to environmen
talists. he said, because indus
try sees that there is a threat to
its interests.
LOVE said the movement
has been blasted by "every
political faction of society "
"We caught hell from the
radical community," he said;
many have accused the teach-in
planners of being co-opted by
business interests (as typified
by the current Ramparts maga
zine. which was several times
referred to at the conference i
"Earth Day provided a pub
lic relatons forum for busi
ness." Love agreed "We
hadn't done our homework "
He said many people were" be
yond the teach-in idea" when
the national group was incorpo
rated — "it's a time for ac
tion "
In an environmental law ses
sion. a Tennessee lawyer said
lawsuits and threats of lawsuits
are greatly feared by corpora
tions because of the damage
done to their public images, but
many lawyers won t take envi
ronmental cases for fear of al
ienating industry. Polluters
prefer to pay damages rather
than stop polluting, he said,
"THERE IS NO corporation
in the U S that is committed to
saving the environment," said
Ross Vincent, an industrial
drop-out who helped to start the
Ecology Center in New Orle
ans In a corporate structure,
he said, “you have no responsi
bilities — you have duties."
Vincent said that corporate
research is inefficient and con
stitutes a great waste of techni
cal expertise
"There just can't be any
more progress, a participant
observed There was talk of
providing alternate life-styles
— as Ecology Action in Berke
ley has done in setting up a
commune for its group — "but
first we must survive "
A speaker in the civil disobe
dience workshop said education
will not be enough - that politi
cal means should be exhausted
before direct action is initiated
"We should not decieve our
selves that political action
alone will save life." he said.
“Until we achieve some kind of
democratic government, the
ecology movement is going to
be a losing battle. "
A LOYOLA University study
who had worked on Ralph Na
der's staff said democratic
regulation of public agencies
should not be rejected until it
has really been tried "If you
call up as a member of the pub
lic. you find they've never met
one." she said. She added that
regulatory agencies tend to
have poor personnel and often
are dependent on industries for
information.
In an open talk session,
suggestions were made for lo
cal groups: demand hearings
on public projects, watchdog
the Army Engineers, enter pol
lution floats in parades, make
films, produce TV spots, de
mand equal-time for environ
ment in media, aid family-plan
ning efforts, work with fresh
man orientation, produce form
letters, study local pesticide
sales, become "administrative
irritants."
En route back to Washing
ton. two members of the nation
al Environmental Action office
spoke informally with some
Balance members in Athens
Other Georgia students attend
ing the conference were Julia

M*A*S*H*" deserves the
label of an excruciatingly funny
movie. The viewer laughs while
he wonders if he really found
that scene funny.
But the laughter is healthy in
an insane way. It is directed
toward things which should be
laughed at — the idiocy of war.

government, the zealot using
religion as an escape.
The Korean War piovides
the off-stage action and the
mutilated men for the movie.
Elliott Gould and Donald Suth

who repair these broken men
Sally Kellerman plays the part
of a ridiculously regimental,
but extremely competent.
Army nurse.
“How.’ demands this super
efficient Army Nurse, “could
such an incompetent person
(Sutherland > rise to his high pos
ition in the United States
Army?" He was drafted.
The actions of Gould and
Sutherland are explained Refus
ing to comply with inane
army regulations, they do not let
themselves relinquish their
high standards in the operating
room, or their sanitv in the lu
dicrous situation of war
Nothing remains sacred (in
the usual trite sense of sacred
ness i A pious, incompetent
doctor prays when his patients
die; the camp mocks him by
forming a parade and singing
’ Onward Christian Solders “
The same pious doctor and
the prudish nurse make love on
a bugged bed. and their pas
sionate moans are heard
throughout the camp via the
public address system. A se
ductive dentist fears he is im
potent and decides to commit
suicide; the camp goes through
a ritualistic pre-burial service
for him. beginning with a ta
bleau of da Vinci's “Last Sup

The physical makeup of the
movie deserves special men
tion The dialogue is perfectly
timed Conversation occurs
naturally, and the characters
seem as if they were being
filmed for the first time, ad
libbing when necessary
Only one scene, picturing an
Army induction center in
Tokyo, seems needless to the
movie as a whole The rest is a
collage of humor so subtle it
becomes satirical.
