House Of Aureus crashing down
on the family. However, she
accomplished this through sheer
vindictiveness which is a lot
more dramatic and less noisy
than cranes, bulldozers, and
other shrieking machinery.
There have been a lot OF
"Electras" in the $500 years
since Euripides dramatiZed this
one. Nevertheless that at the
Dupont manages to be special
in a number Of ways. Among
these are that it is Greek in
language, feeling, landscape,
and atmosphere.
It Is not often that Electra
fans have encountered these
outside Of Greece itself and
while they are not likely to
reduce Sandra Dee's audiences.
classicists cannot fail to be
impressed by them.
Moreover, the production d.
rected by Michael Cacoyannis
must surely fix the play so
firmly in the minds or students
current and to come-that
they will "a" any course in
which 1t comes up.
~
In its Greek idiom, shot in
its native Mediterranean light,
Cacoyannis' Electra" suggests
constant warfare between the
best people and the most vim
dictive gods of ancient Greece.
Against the power Of the
latter, the House Of Aureus was
one Of the worst offenders. One
or another Of its members was
always taking moral law into
his, or her, own hands; Aga
memnon to bring him the girl
Cassandra as one Of the spoils
Of war, his wife Clytemnestra
to kill him less for this inf
deity than to set up royal
housekeeping with her own
lover, Aegisthus. .
The rest Of Electra's story is
concerned principally with how
she and her brother kill both
Clytemnestra and Aegisthus.
-
Unlike Sophocles who found
the homicidally vengeful Elec-
ira and Orestes heroic, Euri-
pides and Cacoyannis concur
they were more psychotic de-
linquents. This is the way they
are projected in Cacoyannis'
film and he is in no haste to
get them off his figurative
psychiatric couch.
The result is a longish

savage muscularity in the very
act Of exploring the psyches,
or souls, Of the vengeful young
sters.
The powerful performance of
the film at the Dupont is that
of Irene Papas. Her dark,
brooding, disinherited, vindic-
tive princess pulling herself into
the single-minded murderess is
an unforgettable piece Of act
ing. She is always convincingly
the girl that Euripides must
surely have had in mind. the
one who could command the
killing hand Of the weaker,
more sensitive Orestes, who is
competently and attractively
played by Yannis Fertis.
Next to that of Miss Papas,
the performance that most
chills the blood is that Of Aleka
Catselli as Clytemnestra. Her
self-centered queen. defiant Of
the gods, is a regal strumpet
clearly worthy Of a daughter so
beset by the furies as Miss
Papas' heroine.
Until Cacoyannis' picture,
Heaven only knew what Euri-
pides might have done with a
movie camera away back there
in AL B. C. Now, any classic
lover who drops into the Du-
pont can come up with a pretty
fair idea.

From This Angle
Why?

After much discussion, the Montgomery
County Department of Education set up a
system for finger-printing all its employees.
All finger-prints were mailed to the Federal
Bureau Of Investigation for a check of the
records. The results of these FBI checks were
kept in the files of the Department of Educa-
ton, to be seen by only two men at the most
unless some action was deemed necessary.
The F'BI reports resulted in the placing
OF Department of Education employees in one
OF four categories: A-completely clear re-
cord; B-minor offenses only (traffic, etc.;
Questionable category to be investigated
and moved to B or D; D-offenses which re-
quire careful evaluation and may result in
discharge. In processing these records, the
Department of Education has learned that the
charge Of disorderly conduct, for instance,
sometimes covers more than is Immediately
apparent and deserves full investigation.
The Department of Education has called
on and received help from the County Police
Department in investigating some cases. This
kind of cooperation means that the full author
ity of the police department is available to the
Department of Education in contracting other
police departments.
The Board of Education is responsible to
the voters of Montgomery County and to the
State Of Maryland and does not come under
the administration Of the county manager or
the direction of the County Council, although
the Council does pass on the school budget
1t is to be remembered that the Superinten-
dent of Schools for Montgomery County is
appointed by the State Superintendent of
Schools on the recommendation of the County

Death Of a Pope

that an understanding of life is not the pc
culiar possession of the young. 1t was for.
tunate for the world that he did not have a
social security number, and that the Vatican
did not put him out to pasture simply be-
cause he had attained the age of IS. The
greatness that he achieved after being 76
points out a lesson to those civilizations who
give their largest prizes to the young.
I am not sure just what it is that com.
pels my absolute respect for this man. But
I have the impression that he absolutely
knew there was some relationship between
man and God and nature; and that he knew
this fact with such certainty there was no
need to argue the matter. I also thought
that he had so much healthy self esteem that
it never became necessary for him to explain
himself to the world.
When he was dying l thought of the
following sentence 1t seemed to fit his phi.
losophy: "The dimmest light in heaven is
yet a star and is eternal The weakest man
who crawls on earth is yet soul, and is
immortal. Oh light, oh star; oh man, oh
soul; take me where the angels are and place
me where my spirits whole, that it may
live beyond my death, breathing with holy
breath, that will never die and never perish;
the eternal life that all men cherish"

or death into life, as the case may be.

on the Pope and the impression he has made
upon me. After all, am protestant, and
as religion is measured in this area, not a

am aware that in our time, the influence of
an amazing man has sped around our planet

than they.

The Other Homes :.
by David cahoon

Gil may discover the existence Of some lead
ership in local community associations They
will find examples of courage stamina, pru.
dence, and hard work, but at the same time
sense of Encouragement and despair. What
can you really do about your neighbours rats?
Seeing people running up hill or on
treadmill the Council might be moved to ex-
tend a hand. How they can help Is a COM
pick question.
In his budget request the County Man.
ager had sought reappropriation of money
for survey of these needs. This was elm
mated by the Council with some irrelevant
comments about interference with private en-
terprise. This was ridiculous because the
survey called for no more governmental in
reference in private enterprise than does
the taking of the federal census. What the
government and private enterprise can or
ought to do can be determined from the re-
suits Of the survey.
The problem Is not newt has been re-
ported on In one report after another for
more than decade. II hasn't gone away
and 1t may even be increasing, despite the
tremendous growth and development of fine
new subdivisions.
Ii the Council viii take the leadership
and get good measure of the situation, then
they can promote solution by private en-
terprise, community groups and themselves.
II they know the dimensions Of the prob
lem, they could encourage businessmen, bank
ers, professional people, and others to con-
tribute their time and resources to a sound
solution. These people have done this for
such things as cultural center, and 1 am
sure that they would respond to the needs
for culture at the other end of the scale. 1t
is up to the Council to point the way.
With the home owners, community asso-
Citations, and business and financial leaders
working in unison, and backstopped by the
County Council, the stability and well being
Of the county can be enhanced.

out of the question and as
with Maryland u. the time

would be greatly extended.
/ do agree, however, that we
should raise some of the gen.
eral standards of MUG. 1t is In
deed fortunate that we are
able to keep our educational
institutions parallel to the
time and the demands of So
ciety. However, let me point
out that society itself Is the
main beneficiary of higher ed
ucation and for this reason So
ciety should be willing to sup
port education.
The County School Board
should be reminded that Mont
gomery County does not sup
port this junior college alone.
1t is supported by the state as
well as by tuition paid by the
students themselves. In this
connection the Board should
also remember that a great
many of the students are also
Montgomery County citizens
as well as citizens of the state
of Maryland. They not only
support MIC from their own
pockets but in their County
and State taxes.
These students, above all,
should have the right to bene-
fit from this support.

MUG Defense

l wish to speak in opposition
of the statement made by the
Montgomery County School
Board that they intend to sell
the present Takoma Park cam
pus of Montgomery Junior
College and situate the main
campus at Rockville. I also
wish to disagree with the re.
cent statement made by Mr..
Charles w. Bell, President of
the School Board, to the effect
that Maryland University
serves as a sufficient state
supported educational institu.
ton.
President Bell and several of
the Board members seem to be
neglecting the many students
who for various reasons are
not able to obtain their educa.
ton attending full-time college
during the day.
Many students find it neces-
sary to work during the day
to afford an education and
some, myself an example, find
that they must work in order
to support themselves in addi-
ton to affording an education.
l feel that these students de-
serve the right to obtain a
higher education as well as
any other student.
Maryland U. does not offer
an extensive night class pro.
gram. MIC, however, offers
all regular college courses In
their evening program enabl'
ing the student to work for his
degree over a period of years.
Many of the working stu
dents work in the Washington
area and they are able to at
tend classes beginning at $3.50
pm. at MIC. Maryland U. is
not as centrally located, and
especially If one must depend
on public transportation, at.
tending an early class at Mary.
land u. is almost impossible.
SO even If more night courses
were offered at Maryland this
time element would mean less
opportunity to take more than
one subject an evening and
thus stretch out the period Of
time for acquiring a degree.
This same time element
holds true for locating the en-
tire MIC campus at Rockville.

dent, working in downtown
Washington, could drive dur
ing rush hours all the way out

Board of Education. Thus, the county govern
ment and the Department of Education are
clearly two separate and distinct administra-
tons.
Anyone who has ever worked as an ad-
ministratOr knows the value of keeping per-
sonnet under the control of the department
for which they work. 1t might be roughly COM
pared to the training and discipline of chill
dren. Most parents would quite properly re-
sent the effrOntery of a neighbOr who de-
cided TO institute program Of discipline and
training for their children.
Whether some past offense Is serious
enough to discharge particular employee
should be left to the judgment of those re-
sponsible for that employee If mistakes occur,
as they do to every mortal man, that is no
reason to throw out the whole system of ad-
ministration and turn the responsibilities Of
some portion of that administration over to
some outside organization.
The Board of Education was elected by
the people of Montgomery County to run the
school system and not farm out any respon-
sibilities to other departments. The evolution
of employees is one of those responsibilities.
Its up to the Department of Education, under
the policies set up by the School Board, to
control and evaluate their own personnel and
to keep the records of those personnel In
GLIDING the finger.print records.
The proper question is not "Why shouldn't
the police keep the fingerprint or other rec
ords?" can see no valid reason unless the
members of the Board of Education and the
Department of Education have lost all con.
fidence in themselves to run their department.
