Took .0014 3Q0 of our sen-
ior students to, the movies first
thing Monday morning They
looked forward to tile outing, a
ebangc from the classroom. It
was ;quite an experience,
There were about 500 W.'
mai, noisy tee4-agers tho
theatre, altogether. Normally
this is asking for bedlam. Med,
e moms
ern kids, conditioned by televi-
sion, are equally inclined to
laugh. jarringly, mockingly, at
scenes of horror and scenes of
poignancy. Brutality and vio-
lence are their dailY bread.
But after the reels began
'spinning oil Monday morning,
there weren't any laughs,
When the lights went nu. there

The film was "The War
Patne," a short British movie.
It depicts, in a Matter-Of-fact
documentary style. what would

broke nut ,
Tsio excruciating detail is
spared. Blatantly ,anti-war, it is
a bitter satire on our society
and man's stupidity. The film
is crude, the message blunt,
.and; the effect harrowing. The
13 Bc banned it as Ur shocking
to be ,shown :to the public on
television.
It's all there: the. public ig-
norancei the goverpment apa-
thy; the triggering incident;
the profiteer who, sells sand-
bags at an,.exorbitant rate; the
man with two bomb-Abetters
and a shot-gun to keep Others
Out; the little boy whose eye-
balls 'turn to jelly when he See
the flash; the ordinary family
Cretlehed. Bite terrified.animals,
under the kitchen table; the
fire-Storm that destroys every- -
thing in its path; the grottos-
inle burned faces; the people
shocked into idiocy; the
break-down of law and order

pictures of children Whimper,
ing with pain and shock are
the calm, pompous statements
Of bishops who say we must

and a jovial nuclear scientist

What's the purpose, you may
ask, of.subletting`
bourgeois teeri-agerS to such an
experience. Well, it's rather
like shock treatment. It makes
them wake up, examine their
values, think about the world
end the part they must, play in
it, rather than what they'll
wear to the dance Friday
