Erno, profes­ sor of English and prize-winning author of four novels, told an audience of students and facul­ ty members sitting on the grass around him that his first three novels began with a definite idea, but not “Johnny Come Jingle-O,” his most recent. “I CAN SEE NOW that it had its genesis in the first novel I tried to write,” he said, one hand in his rear pocket and the other gesturing in rhythm to his words. He was speaking of an attempt he made in the late 40’s to write in a new style. “It wasn’t to be written in sentences, but in fragments, some internal and some extern­ al.” By CON KEYES All three proposed amend­ ments to the constitution were passed by students in Wednes­ day’s general election, although voting was very light. A total 462 voters wrote the destiny of the changes, which abolished Associated Men Stu­ dents from student government, reapportioned the senate and set new dates for student govern­ ment office terms. PRESIDENT G. H O M E R Durham now must sign the measures before the referenda can become effective. He also holds veto power. The plurality of student votes in the election paralleled the senate’s vote two weeks ago. The two controversial amend­ ments abolishing AMS and re­ apportioning the senate receiv­ ed almost the exact percentage of the senate’s final passage on March 7. T H E REAPPORTIONMENT Amendment won 275-187 votes compared to the senate’s vote 25-7. The amendment to abolish AMS passed by a light 36-vote margin in the general election, and the senate passed it by on­ ly three votes. Students vtfted 246-208 and the senate 16-13. Amendment concerning ten­ ure of office tallied up 408 ‘yes’ to 54 ‘no’ votes. The senate had passed it 32-1. AS President Bob McConnell expressed surprise over the number of voters in the general election! “I thought only 150 to 200 stu­ dents would vote,” said McCon­ nell.

Anthony .Quinn and Vima Lisi star in the “25th Hour,” cur­ rently playing at the new Thomas Mall Theatre. This time Quinn is a Roumanian peasant. Here’s hoping there is still a bit of Zorba left in him. MUSIC: One of the biggest musical events to hit this Val­ ley in a long while is sched­ uled to begin at Gammage Au­ ditorium, April 6-8. The Metro­ politan Opera will present “The Marriage of Figaroi,” “La Boheme” and “The Rape of Lucretia.” It would be wise to buy tickets for this well in ad­ vance. International singing star Petula Clark appears Friday, March 31, in Gammage Audi­ torium. The program will in- , elude such hits as “I Know a Place” and “Downtown.” Tic­ kets are now available at the box office and may go, fast. THEATRE: I strongly rec­ omend that anyone who has not already seen the “Mad Woman of Chaillot” do so this weekend. Between Joni Brown as the mad woman and Keith Anderson as the rag picker, there is never a dull moment.

AS DAD’S soul writhes in heaven and his preserved body is suspended in the closet, Ins domineering wife coddles their only son, feeding him a soli­ tary diet of ketchup blotched hamburgers and never, ever, letting him out of his room. The son is 25 years of age. Using his angeUc powers, ca­ pricious Dad promotes a rela­ tionship between his physical­ ly, mentally and sexually de­ prived son and a “sweet young girl,” Barbara Harris, to edu­ cate Sonny in the finer things of life. His success would be a vic­ tory over all the evils that un­ checked motherhood1can bring. ROSALIND R U S S E L L takes up residence in a bathtub on h er wedding night in an effort to avoid husband Jonathan W inters in “Oh Dad, Poor Dad, M amma’s Hung You In The Closet And I’m Feelin’ So Sad,” now playing at th e Palm s Theater in Phoenix. Is The victory seems possible because M amma. is trying to mousetrap a millionaire and his yacht, not concentrating fully an sonny’s retardation program. THE FILM IS NOT to be es­ teemed for daring plot, fine act­ ing or superb directing. It progressed slowly and was tied together only by the absurdity of the situation and the humor forced into the dialogue. Even Winters was less than hilari­ ous. The intrepid movie analysts rate this film low, but for light-hearted laughter and semiserious comment on a social dtiemna, “Oh Dad,” has a definite value.
