...Clockwork Orange. Kubrick's biggest b.o. jackpot yet, and a mess. Gone is the Anthony Burgess wit, and the texture of the novel is brutally simplified by the loss of language and incidents. Poorly acted, except by Malcolm McDowell, and directed with leering touches. SACK 57: 10, 12:20, 2:40, 5, 7:30, 10. Sunday...

The Sack Theatre promoters billed HSA as a group that would use the money for student financial aid. This claim, of course, called into question whether financial aid students were receiving the bulk of HSA jobs. And nobody, from administrators in Holyoke Center to the student president Michael L. Ryan '72-3 knew...
