...State University offers degrees in trailering (engineering, design, park management, etc.). It used to be that trailer living was the sole preserve of the unwanted and the rootless.

No one quarrels with the Department's right to make training films, but it seems all too likely that this one will be just another sloganized distinction blurring piece of trash. If "Communist Target Youth" is anything like "Operation Abolition," the Defense Department is guilty both of misusing Federal money for a vicious, private kind of propaganda, and of showing a bad movie to captive audiences...
