Cleopatra, Queen of Egy­
pt, saved her kingdom by
winning the love of Julius
Caeser and Marc Anthony
but was later defeated by
Octavius.
Cleopatra, a la Elizabeth
Taylor, has saved 20th Cen­
tury-Fox by her screen love
scenes with Caeser (Rex
Harrison) and Marc. Anth­
ony (Richard Burton) and
probably never will be de­
feated at the box office.
TO GO on with history,
Cleopatra committed sui­
cide and Egypt became a

Roman province. Liz Tay­
lor was stricken by a near
fatal illness but caine back
to turn in a performance
that would have turned thfe
Roman legions back in awe.
Forget the controversies,
the alleged scandals, the
huge sums of money and
the other trials and tribula­

Live Screen Story

Peruvian students who shouted, “Cuba, si! Yankee
no!” in rock-throwing riots against U.S. officials have
written and produced a film which will he shown in
Cosner Auditorium, 7:30 p.m. next Thursday and Friday.
“El Condor,” giant bird of the Indies, is the title of

the student iilm. The movie will
be open to students, faculty and
the public. A 25 cent donation
is requested.
Showing of the film is being
sponsored by the ASU • Joint
Council of Engineering Societ­
ies.
“El Condor” deals with the
struggle for control in an imag­
inary “Latinia” university with
corruption in government, a
powdered-milk scandal and a
fact-finding commission of the
U.S. government.
It was written by the students
at the University of San Marcos
in Lima from personal exper­
iences of the cast in a situation
which ,parallels Cuba.
The. s t o r y shows how a
change of heart in a “Fidelista”
student and in an influential
“Latinian” industrialist redi­
rected the course of government
policy.
The film was produced by

Moral Re-Armament, a world
force whose purpose is to ans­
wer world problems by apply­
ing absolute standards of
honesty, purity, unselfishness
and love to personal, family and
national life.

Allen Drury, leading political
novelist of América, will speak

Actor Reveals Ideas Beliefs
Of Life On American Stages
By BOB REILLY

Victor Jory, the actor who
strangles old women, stabs
heroes in the back, and
poisons pets, tore off his
theatrical m a s k Tuesday

evening and laid his ideas and
beliefs before a receptive crowd
in the MU ballroom.
Star-struck drama students
who appeared in order to have
their hopes and aspirations for­
tified by someone who “has
made it” were in for a disap­
pointment.
THE VETERAN Broadway
actor turned on the light of
reality with the impersonal aid
of cold facts, blended with the
understanding and knowledge
of experience.

It was pointed out by Jory
that the theatrical and movie
business are currently in a
crisis.
When he started in the busi­
ness many years ago there were
285 stock companies through­
out the United States. He said,
“An energetic young person
could have four hundred plays
under his belt in a matter of
eight to ten years. This exper­
ience is vital but no longer easy
to get since the number of stock
companies has since been dras­
tically reduced.”
“BUT THERE is hope,” he
continued. “The hope lies in
universities such as this and in
the little theater groups scat­
tered about the country.”

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS

*NO WONúfít■■nr Æj$sian$ AsaBAttSADcfü9--0tJM

The movie business is in a
more drastic state, according to
Jory. Too many; stars, he as­
serts; are being formed from
“curly headed and large bust­
ed” youngsters. The distinction
between “stars” and actors of
the legitimate stage was clear­
ly made.
The lives and salaries of the
“stars” were also mentioned
during the hour and a half pro­
gram.
JORY SAID that the general
public mostly read about the
“success” and scandals of these
public figures. “If an actor or
actress leads a ‘normal’ life
with one mate they are rarely
heard from — normal people
make bad press.”
At the mention of salaries,
Liz Taylor’s name popped up.
Jory failed to elaborate. How­
ever, he said the opinion by
movies producers is that sen­
sation, sex and bigness is a
must if a picture is going to
sell.
In the question and answer
session, Jory was asked who
were the hopefuls of stage and
screen. His answer would find
little opposition. For movies it
was Patty Duke and Maximil­
lion Schell; for stage he named
Anne Brancroft and Julie Har­
ris. The best playwright? Ten­
nessee Williams, but “I wish he
would change his subject mat­
ter.”
SPEAKING engagements are
nothing new for Jory. Besides
talking about the entertainment
world, he also is a political
spokesman. In I960 he toured
for Richard Nixon and expects
to tour for Senator Goldwater
if the Arizona Republican is
drafted at the ’64 GOP conven­
tion.
Mr. Joty was recently seen
in the television production
"Manhunt.” He expects to start
another TV series shortly.

of his lecture is that, for all its
faults; the American system
still1is the best yet devised by
men for their own governing.
During the 15 years prior to
publication of his first book,
which won him a Pulitzer Prize,
Drury accumulated experience
as a journalist covering national
politics and the Senate.
CURRENTLY A Washington
contributor to the Reader’s Di­
gest, he remains in an excellent
position to view thé shifting
political scene.
Drury, born in Texas, grew
up in California, where he at­
tended Stanford University, and
worked on the Stanford Daily
before assuming his first pro­
fessional newspaper job as edi­
tor of the Talare Bee. His edi­
torials on this weekly paper
earned for him the Sigma Delta
Chi Editorial Award for 1941.
Subsequently he was county
editor of the Bakersfield Cali­
fornian, served in t h e Army,
and then went to Washington
in 1943. He has been employed
by the United Press, Pathfind­
er Magazine, the Washington
Evening Star, and, for five
years, the New York Times.
“ADVISE AND Consent” was
published in 1959. It was a
Book-of-the-Month Club se­
lection, was adapted for the
stage and motion piètures. The
second novel, “A Shade of Dif­
ference,” was published in 1962.
It revolves around the new Af­
rican nations and a crisis of
United States’ prestige at the
United Nations.

More Lines!
Registration materials for the
second summer session will be
available Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1
p.m. in the patio of the Social
Sciences building.
Students not enrolled the se­
cond semester of 1962-63 or the
first summer session may pick
up materials registration day,
July 22.

The third and fourth books of
his projected tetralogy are en­
titled “Capable of Honor” and
“Preserve and Protect.” The
former will concern conventions
and campaigns, and the latter
will be about the opening days
of the new administration.
The program is open to sum­
mer session students, faculty
members and the public w ith­
out charge. Immediately fol­
lowing the lecture, there will be
a reception in the upper lounge
for Mr. Drury and all those a t­
tending.

Coach Resigns
Dick Mansperger, former Sun
Devil gridder, announced his
resignation Wednesday as in­
terior line coach at ASU.
On the ASU football staff
since 1961, Mansperger cited
“opportunities elsewhere” for
his action and expressed “most
sincere gratitude to my many
friends at ASU and across the
state who have made my stay
a fruitful experience.”

Writers Needed
For Cluld Tales
With a little imagination you
might spin a yarn that could
pay off. A'
Writers are in demand for
original stories that would ap­
peal to children between the
ages of 4 and 12, according to
Nu-Top Records, Inc.
The Phoenix company needs
stories that venture into any
childhood realm from fairy
tales to science fiction. Manu­
scripts m ust be 400-800 words.
Stories chosen will be record­
ed and distributed for sale to
the public. The writer will re­
ceive royalties due them as per

agreement.
Manuscripts should be mailed

Elephant W alk
We put up with its smell in the autumn, admire its beauty
in the winter and relax on its coolness in the Spring and sum­
mer, yet we are determined to mar its beauty and stamp out
its life.
THOUSANDS of dollars are spent for its seed, fertilizer and
maintenance, yet we flaunt the costs and continue to take short
cuts across it in the tradition of “Elephant Walk.”
The result: broad, grassy lawns criss-crossed by weaving,
brown ruts. The grass and the people behind it have h»1d out
pretty well but they have realized they are fighting a losing
battle. And as a final stand, they have constructed sidewalks
over the brown ruts. If this keeps up the beautiful lawns will
look like a checkerboard,
A DECISION to take a short cut means that at least five
people will follow y<ju and five more follow them
before
you know it the- grass begins to yellow. After a while the grass
is killed and no amount of water and care can bring it hneir
Granted the existing sidewalks are not wide ennngh nnH the
edges of the lawns take a beating between classes. But there is
absolutely no excuse for walking across an expanse of finely
manicured lawn out of sheer laziness.
Grass and shrubbery can only take so much abuse — let’s
not ruin the appearance of our university just to satisfy our own
selfish convenience.
