Marion Michael Morrison, better
known is some circles as John Wayne, will
reach the age of 65 next May 26. By the
usual California standards, a leading man
the age of "the Duke" should be
ensconced either in some sanitarium high
in the Hollywood Hills or in the
governor's mansion in Sacramento.
As John Wayne nears his dotage,
though, he's just as active as ever, and, in
terms of television, he's working harder
than ever. Any old movie buff can tell
you how impossible it is to go more than
a couple of weeks without seeing a Duke
film on either Morning Movie, Afternoon
Matinee or the Late Show, but until this
year Wayne's appearances in prime time
have been exceedingly rare. Wayne made
his season's prime time premier in
November when he hosted "Sing Out,
Sweet Land," and two months later he
appeared in a rather unfortunate special
called, "The Super Comedy Bowl."
"Sing Out, Sweet Land," was
rebroadcast last Thursday night, and
although it undoubtedly didn't attract
the 76 million viewers that watched it the
itrst time, it probably drew a large
enough crowd to justify its costs to
sponsor, Anheuser-Busch, Inc.
What the new viewers saw was a mildly
amusing, if overlong special that TV
(iuide accurately described as "John
Wayne's patriotic journey through
American history." If the Duke's history
course only got as far as 1903, well,
everything's been going downhill since
Ihen anyway, right?
The show could have been much

better if the writers had stuck to comedy,
as every dramatic skit that was attempted
literally drowned in cliches. In one scene
some settlers are moving to Illinois (have
you figured out just who's moving yet?)
Well, the wagon breaks down and it gets'
fixed by someone who turns out to be
black. "How much do I owe you?" asks
the white pioneer. "Oh, you don't owe
nothing, Mr. Lincoln," answers the black,
to which comes Lincoln's prophetic
reply, "Well, maybe there's some way our
family can pay back yours." Little did he
know that in the years ahead his son . . .
The comic spots on the show were
pretty good, though, with Bob Hope,
Dean Martin and Rowan and Martin
doing fine jobs when they weren't
overshadowed either by Wayne, the
elaborate choreography or both.
Wayne returned at the end of the
program for a quick editorial, the main
thrust of which seemed to be that
tomorrow every good American should
get up and say, 'This is my country and
I'm gonna do good for it." At this point
the screen filled with shots of America's
greatest heroes as kids: Mickey Mantle,
Neil Armstrong, and Burt Bacharach.
As the Firesign Theatre once said,
'That's America, buddy."
If you like John Wayne, but you'd
rather not take him straight, then tonight
you should tune into 'They Went That'A
Way" on Channel 4 at 10:30. 'That'A
Way" is a continuing series that has been
documenting the history of the WEstern
movie. Tonight there'll be clips ranging
from Wayne's 1934 potboiler, "West of
the Divide", which took four days to
shoot, to the 1940's "Dark Command",
in which the Duke played opposite Claire
Trevor. .
Undoubtedly one of the program's
themes will be how everyone else is gone,
but John Wayne still carries on. Well, at
least one Hollywood gossip columnist
claims that Wayne's current production,
'The Cowboy", will be his last.
Marilyn Beck wrote recently that in
his new picture Wayne "plays a 65-year
old cowboy who's gunned down and
killed in a bloody climax." A special
section has supposedly been written into
the script in which Duke reminisces about
"being in the business 45 years and
everyone knows I've done my best."
As Wayne lies dying in the streets, he
gasps his final line,: 'There goes the last
st'ari" ' Whert ' they " bury ,;Wm,!: the
townspeople ' take off "the red kerchief
he's worn since the beginning and put it
on the cross atop his grave.
Never see John Wayne again? It's not
very likely, unless of course your
television stops showing old movies. And
it's safe to say that won't happen anytime
soon.

Are you tired of watching television
with all the creativity, innovation and
personality of a 1962 Sears and Roebuck
catalogue? Does someone feel wasted
each night when "the sound and the
fury" of commercial television is
comemmorated by the national anthem
and then fades to the chaos of static?
There is a "chance for better television"
represented on this campus and in this
state by the N.C. Educational TV
Network and WUNC-TV channel 4.
WUNC-TV is one of the stations
affiliated with the Public Broadcasting
Service, a private, non-profit corporation
that distributes selected national
programs to the 199 non-commercial
television stations in this country.
WUNC-TV is the co-ordinating station for
the in-state educational, public affairs,
cultural, and entertainment programming
to the people of North Carolina.
Of the better chances available to
campus viewers, who should be especially,
responsive to the PBS, is "Jean
Shepherd's America". Most remember
Jean Shepherd from the memoirs of his
Indiana childhood frequently published
in Playboy. (These memoirs were labeled
"nostalgia" and packaged between skin
essays and skin shots.) Shepherd has left
his childhood and now wanders the
expanse of America, stopping for visits
with an Eskimo village 60 miles north of
the Arctic circle or tripping with a lobster
boat off the coast of Maine. Shepherd's
affection for America reveals not only his
curiosity, but also the curiosity of
America becoming aware of itself as a
tremendous community, or as Shepherd
sayd, "America is the perpetual child in
us all."
Another is the Emmy-winning series
'The Advocates". The Advocates is a
forum of biting questions and debate.
This Tuesday night at 9 the debate will be
"Should President Nixon Pardon Lt.
Calley?" Marshall Simonds, a Boston
attorney, will argue clemency for Lt.
Calley as "Calley should not be singled
out as a scapegoat to salve the conscience
Poet speaking
The celebrated poet Robert Creeley
will give a: reading of his works in Gerrard
Hall on Wednesday at 3 p.m. v - L ; -"
Now on the faculty of the State
University of New York in Buffalo,
Creeley has published three books of
poetry, one novel, one book of stories,
and an edition of selected works of
Charles Olson.
Creeley's reading is sponsored by thefT

him, Howard ille, professor of law at
USC, argues that "Calley is gmlty by all
legal standards criminal and

preserve the rule of law in a chaotic
world." After the debate viewers can vote

NET Playhouse, in a special Easter
presentation, airs "Jesus Christ: A Passion
Play for Americans." This powerful

Boston Common into that warehouse.

of the contemporary setting, so the
original majesty of the Biblical drama is
preserved. But, the contemporary setting
relates to the contemporary viewer with a
subtle attraction that directs the essential
r elatedness of the Crucifixion and
Resurrection of Christ to the life and
existential drama of the viewer.
Simply, the seemingly incongruous
presentation of the Bible in a
contemporary setting provides a fist-full
punch of meaning to passive believer and
viewer. Within the context of the drama,
it is congruent for a disciple to approach
Christ with a microphone or to follow
Him with shoulder camera. The
accompanying blues score at times is
reminiscent of the City LightsBeats
period, but it is used sparingly and
effectively as in the mob beating of Christ
before the crucifixion. This exceptional

produce its programs, it can select the
best of national network, private, or
overseas programs (the BBC production
of Sir Arthur Clark's "Civilkation" is
exemplary). Also, because PBS is
non-commercial, the entertainment docs
not have to please the eccentricities of its
