"Blue Flash" strikes signs
Continued from page one
The specific aspect of this
situation that meets with the
most opposition is the signs,
which bear direct implications
that the innumerable Cuilford
students and others who have
trod non-concrete paths to cam
pus are "city urchins,"
"cows", "fools", and the like.
Willie Lentsoe, for one, con
siders the signs "rude, impo
lite, and an insult," and an
overstatement of the apparent
message of "Please Keep Off
the Crass." Even students who
can see the potential utility of
the posts and chains are less
sympathetic to the signs.
"I think they had to do
something, but if the signs
offend enough people I think
the should take them down,"
says Jim Henninger. Likewise,
Marci Brown's reply is, "I think
the posts and chains are good, if

On the other hand, there are
those who are sold on lock,
stock, and sign; a student
named Steve calls them "clev
er, and better than just 'Please
Keep Off the Crass.' " Another
response is, "I think the signs
are cute, and they help to
protect the campus if people
will go a little bit out of their
way."
In the same vein, still another
unidentified student says,
"They're (the signs) good --
they get to your conscience, and
we need them until people stop
walking on the grass." Finally,
Julie Seaman, realizing how
much worse K could be, says,
"I'm not offended by the signs,
and I think it's better than
having a wire fence."
The remaining remarks are

Although this is not a direct
quote from Justice, it does
summarize what the message in
this outstanding film is.
There has not been a film of
this caliber about this nation's
political system since All The
President's Men. I can not

original enough to defy classifi
cation. One related the signs to
Nazi Germany: "It's like Goeb
bels with a Quaker twist - it's
propaganda, but it's so 'nice'. It
seems to work." The other,
last, but certainly not least, is
from Or. Claude Shotts, the
Director of Off-Campus Educa
tion.
"I'm slightly more than fifty
percent in favor of what's been
done; the paths are usually too
muddy to walk on. Also, I find it
more interesting to walk to
Archdale on the sidewalk. I see
more people that way, and it's
only a few more steps."
"However, I don't think the
signs are necessary. In En
gland, the signs in the parks say
simply, "Please," and people
respect it more, and stay off the
grass. And I would like to see
the shrubs."
recommend too strongly the
importance of this movie. It is
well worth your time to see.
Al Pacino heads an excellent
and convincing cast as a de
fense attorney who, in the first
act of the movie, is in jail for
punching Judge Thomas K.
Flemming. Flemmingis played
well by veteran actor John
Forsythe. To say that Pacino is
displeased with the quality of
the honesty of the judge is a
mild understatement.
Justice takes you to the jails
and prisons of Baltimore; it
shows inhumane conditions and
treatment by guards and pris
oners alike which are prevalant
throughout the nation. Justice
takes you to the courts and
shows the legal and illegal
injustices of our courts.
If you have studied our
courts, the Justice reinforces
what you have learned. If you
know little of the true, not
necessarily legal, ways of our
justice, then this movie will
open your eyes.
This movie is (definitely Oscar
quality. I expect that Al Pacino
will be nominated for Best
Actor, John Forsythe for Best
Supporting Actor, and Justice
for Best Picture. My only advice
on seeing this film is to go with
an open mind; it can be slightly
shocking.

When the day comes that we
have escaped our dependency
on fossil fuels one of the
energies playing a major role
will be geothermal power. It is a

practically inexhaustible source
of power.
Both electricity and heat can
be derived from it. Unfortun

that are practical for adaptation
to geothermal.
At the present time the
method employed by power
companies in tapping the
earth's power involves direct
use of natural steam and hot
water. At the Geysers plant
near Sacramento, steam goes
directly from the earth to tur
bines where electricty is gener
ated.
It is estimated that the one
plant supplies over 40% of the
electricity for the Sacramento
valley. In Iceland, the earth
steam and hot water directly
supply the needs of that small

nation.
The method for the future
involves indirect use of the
earth's plentiful amounts of hot
water. As the water comes out
of the ground, it will be used to
boil an isobutane gas. This in
turn works the turbines, gener
ating electricty.
Research being done in the
San Diego region has shown
this to be nearly three times
more efficient than the existing
methods. Hopefully experimen
tal plants will open in the next
decade and, perhaps sometime
after that, practical use of this
method will begin
