THE GUILFORDIAN Are you worried about your future? Ben was. He was "The Graduate," and having commenced from college with honors and an excellent record on the cross-country team, naturally everyone expected Ben to be successful. But Ben was tired of having to be a success all the time. Ben wanted to live a little. Then Ben met Mrs. Robinson, who was a troubled woman approaching middle age, and also the wife of Ben's father's business partner. Utilizing her cunning and experience, she managed to corrupt young Ben, whose college experience ap parently failed to completely educate him. From there Joseph E. Levine's film.

Like Churchill, I have a keen sense of history and am exhilarated by the thought that out of this whole thing might de velop the Great Guilford Schism, and maybe, if Mr. Hackett suceeds, another series of Wars of Presecution. However, I hope Hackett realizes that any attempt to purify the faith has the potential of getting out of hand. I note that Southern Quakers seem not to have that well developed spiritual hedge against bearing arms, or for that matter, using them. You have noticed, no doubt, that ma hogany gun-case with its wicked-looking collection of firearms, sitting across the hall from the library's Quaker room. To you, Henry Hackett, and to you.

We are united upon the matter of fund amental goals, let us consult together con cerning the most effective means. KANSAS CITY BOUND Grimsley Hobbs —by Robert Swaim jects, success, and turns it into a farce. The film is superbly directed and uses some very subtle, but effective musical interludes from Simon & Garfunkel. Although the ending may be some what ludicrous to some, I felt that it is perfect harmony with the tone of the whole picture. This is one of the best American made films to come out in some time. It seems that the American producers and directors are following the trends established by foreign films, such as "Morgan" and "Blow Up."
