'Godfather gives viewers a
program they can t refuse
"I'll make him an offer that he can't
refuse." By now only a sheltered few
have not heard that phrase, since this
past week was marked by the arrival of
Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather:
The Complete Novel for Television.
wavelength
By JIMMY WILKES
The Corleone saga began on NBC this
past Saturday night, and although the
other networks used effective counter
programming, the Godfather ratings
should be outstanding. For one thing no
other mini-series has come close to
sustaining the intense level of
excitement and suspense that was
inherent in The Godfather. Coppola
and his editor Barry Malkin are to be
praised for their successful job of editing
The Godfather, The Godfather, Part II,
and original footage not shown in the
two movies, into a coherent package
that kept one constantly on the edge of
his seat.
And although I don't feel that the
violence depicted was unnecessary,
there is no doubt that some found
themselves viewing just to guess who
would be next. Not many films can
claim the amount of blood found in
The Godfather: But as mob boss Hyman

Roth stated, "...that's the type of
business we're in."
Finally, there is no other group of
films that comes to mind which worked
as a springboard for so many
outstanding actors. Even if one had seen
the two movies' four or five times, one.
could still marvel at the superb acting of
Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Robert
DeNiro, Marlon Brando, Talia Shire
and others.
And after viewing such mini-series as
Aspen, or 79 Park Avenue, it renewed
one's faith in this programming concept
to watch the Corleone saga unfold.
Outside of Roots, television has yet to
produce such an artistic and enjoyable
cinematic success.
Hampton Choirs perform Friday
The world-renowned Hampton
Institute Concert Choir of 38 great
American voices will perform at the
Great Hall at noon on Friday.
Admission is free.
In 1873 the Hampton Singers began
touring America and Europe and have
never stopped. The Singers took their
school books with them and studied as
they sang to raise money for a residence
hall. Hampton Institute, which they
established, has had no difficulty in
finding audiences for the Singers'
artistic offerings, both at home and
abroad. The Singers, now known as the
Concert Choir, have sung before the
crowned heads of Europe.

reading from the correspondence
between the playwright and Alice
Lockett. The show takes place in 106
Carroll Hall.
Dan H. Laurence, a noted collector,
editor and critic of Shaw's works, will

"George Bernard Shaw," says

singing teacher, when he met Alice
Lockett and attempted to mold her to
his needs and specifications.

I he cutback in probably the rcsull ol the smaller
school's frustration about what the larger schools can do
financially, according to Cobey. "Smaller schools can't
afford to live large scholarships, and they'd like to stay
competitive with larger schools"
The small colleges outnumber the larger ones in Al A W
and easily could amass enough votes to pass a motion in
their favor. Cobey says.
The scholarship cutback is not necessarily designed to
limit the larger universities, says Joan S. Hull,
chairperson of the Ethics and Eligibility Committee at
AlAW's national headquarters in Washington. D C.
"We make our decisions in light of AlAW's basic
philosophical position that athletics must be in the same
vein as the entire educational institution." Hull says.
"In that institution, the student athlete should not be
treated any differently than anyone else.
Frances Hogan. director of women's athletics at I) NC,
explains AlAW's basic philosophical position as a belief
in strictly limited competition and scholarships for
women acarry-overfromthedayswhen"competition"
for women was a dirty word.
AIAW allowed no athletic scholarships for women
until a college in Florida filed suit against AIAW and
won, Hogan says.
"As soon as we got word that scholarships were
allowed, we granted our first one to Carney I imberlake,"
Cobev says.

I imberlake, a tennis player, received the only athletic
grant awarded a woman in 1974-7), which included
room, board, tuition and feci.
This year seven full scholarships and 40 partial
scholarships worth a total of S64.000 have been awarded
to women varsity-sport participant!, according to Moytr
G. Smith, associate athletic director for business.
Scholarships for men athletes total about $500,000.
The men's counterpart to AIAW, the National
Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA), did not reduce
a full scholarship to include just tuition and few m rls
most recent legislation, even though AIAW encouraged
NCAA to do so.
"I admire AIAW for trying to take the leadership role,
yet in the process they may deny equal opportunity for
women athletes," Cobey tayi.
"I can't imagine why AIAW would get itself so out of
line with an organization (NCAA) that is clearly more
established, and therefore put its member institution! in a
bind." says Susan Ehringhaus. the University's Title IX
compliance officer.
Title IX of the 1972 Omnibus Education Act prohibits
discrimination on the basis of sex in any educational
program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.
"The final trade-off Cobey will have to weigh it
whether the value of the AIAW membership is enough to
compensate for the added difficulty in complying with
Title IX because of this ruling." Ehringhaus said.
