Its premise--European noblemen on a hunting safari in American Indian country--promised a possible reversal of an old Henry James theme, and certainly a chance to see familiar territory peopled by somewhat stranger animals than one finds in your run-of-the-mill western.

Not all of the film works. Its sometimes derivative surface is equally indebted to Jean-Luc Godard and shampoo commercials. Even Edgar Guest would have been embarrassed...
...open forum. We feel that the readers of the CRIMSON were entitled to coverage of the not widely reported arguments about the nature of the involvement of the University--and of ROTC in particular--with American foreign and domestic policies, as well as to a review of the more familiar arguments in defense of ROTC, and of the final vote...
