sidered vain.

Weir, 40, is one of the
principal figures in the crea-
tive explosion of Australian
films during the past decade.
Like George Lucas, Steven
Spielberg and other young
American filmmakers, Weir
was profoundly affected by
the Saturday matinee mov.

ies.

“How foundly I recall com-
ing out of a hot, stinking
Australian summer into the
cool darkness of a movie
house,” he said. “How much I
enjoyed the bang-crash

shooting of the action and
booed the love scenes.

“Even when we got our
first TV set in 1958, I wanted
to turn off all the lights and
watch it in the dark. But my
father read somewhere that
it was bad for the eyes.”

While a stagehand at a TV
station, Weir made his first
film— 15-minute subject
“with a borrowed camera and
stolen film.”

He soon was winning
awards with his short films.

His first major feature,
Pienic at Haning Rock,
brought him to the attention
of the world’s film critics.
Weir became a leader of the
Australian film renaissance
with The Last Wave, Galli
poli and The Year of Living
Dangerously.

A year ago Weir was in
Hollywood preparing his first
American film. It fell
through. He told his agent:
“Get me a picture that is
ready to go.”

Producer Edward Feldman
had prepared Witness as a
vehicle for Harrison Ford,
and Weir was on the list of
directors Ford would ap-
prove.

Witness was filmed in and
around Lancaster, Penn., and
Weir had concern about how
the Amish would accept the
invasion of a film company
with all its new-fangled ways.

He soon learned that the
Amish would simply go their
own way, as they have for
centuries.”

fight at
to ban

LAKEFIELD, ONT. (CP)
— Author Margaret Lau-
rence, hurt by renewed com-
plaints that her novels are
obscene, says she would go to
court to fight attempts to ban
them from the reading lists of
high schools in, her own com-

munity.

The Peterborough Gounsy

board of education has been
asked by a local councillor to
ban what the politician called
Laurence's “dirty, disgusting
afd degrading”

novel The
Diviners, as well as A Jest of

God and The Stone Angel.

But Laurence, who main-
tained a low profile during a
similar book-banning contro-
versy in 1976, said she will
fight the kind of attitudes
expressed by Counc. Helen
Trotter.

“How dare they,” Lau
rence said, insisting that
allegations of obsenity are
“the very opposite of how I
perceive — and a great many
people perceive — my
books.”

God,” she said.

She said her heroes are all
survivors.

“They are people who go
through terrible, terrible
struggles — as we all do from
time to time — and have
come to understand they are
important as human indi-
viduals and so are other

le.”

Laurence, 58, has long
been an opponent of censor
boards which are not ac
countable to the public but
claim to represent commun-
ity standards.

“Who knows what that is?”
she asked. “That's a very
vague term.”

She said cases of alleged
pornography should be tried
in open court, not by censor
boards behind closed doors.

“If anybody wants to take
one of my books to court, I
would be happy to defend it
with expert witnesses,” said
Laurence.

“If people cannot see that
when I am anguished because
it’s there,” she said in an
interview after speaking to a
class of Grade 13 students in

Lakefield.
She said she deals with
characters rather than

themes, but if there is a com.
mon theme in her books it's
that “all creatures, all people
that ‘on earth do dwell’ all

The books are intended “to

viewed.

Trotter told the board,
however, she would not stop
complaining until the books
were banned outright.

The board decided to re-

the books and results are to

Second World War

LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Lee Marvin, who jests that
he learned to act in the
Marine Corps. refights the
Second World War in a tele:
vision sequel to The Dirty
Dozen.

From the 1967 hot film,
Marvin reprises his role as
Maj. Reisman, whose cheke
ered Army career has once
again led him to the brink.
This time, in the NBC sequel,
The Dirty Dozen: Next Mis-
sion, he's offered the choice
of a court-martial or the
honor of leading a suicide
squad made up of the dregs
of the Army's prisons into a
Nazi stronghold.

The mission in the sequel is
as improbably as the likeli
hood the Army would at
tempt to turn murderers and
rapists into an elite com
mando squad.

“The Allies discover an as
sassination attempt on Hitler
and determine they can't

allow it to happen,” says
Marvin. The Allies want
Hitler alive to keep the

German war effort fouled up.
They figure if the generals
take over they'll straighten
up the mess and prolong the
war.
‘You can't go wrong pick
ing these 12 guys,” says
Marvin, “because every neg:
ative quality if positive for
what you're trying to do.
“Tm an officer and I don't
always go along with the
military protocol, so they as-
sign me to these high-risk
areas. It's just another as
signment for me. It's like
going out on another patrol.”
To film this patrol, which
NBC will telecast Monday,
Marvin travelled to England
from his foothill digs north of

Tucson, Ariz., where lives
with his wife, Pamela Feeley.

“Now that the Vietnam
thing is behind us they're
doing military pictures
again,” says Marvin. “World
War II is like fiction to most
people today. They weren't
even alive when the war was
fought. You can take licence
with the story. It's like
the American western.”

Returning with Marvin
from the original movie are
Ernest Borgnine and Richard
Jaeckel. Among the new kill
er elite are Ken Wahl, Larry
Wilcox and Sonny Landham.

Marvin, 61, fought with the
Marine Corps on Kwajalein,
Eniwetok and Saipan where
he suffered a wound that
kept him in hospital for 13
months.

“I applied a lot of what I
learned in the Marines to
my films,” says Marvin, who
has played his fair share of
soldiers.

MAKES DEBUT

Marvin made his movie
debut after the war in You're
in the Navy Now.

“I was just an extra,” he
says. “But the director, Hen.
ry Hathaway took a liking to
me and asked me.to come to
Hollywood. He got me an
agent but the agent wouldn't
take me because I was an ex-
tra. So Hathaway gave me
some dialogue and made me
an actor.

“Hathaway picked me out
of that movie, he picked
Charles Bronson and he
picked Jack Warden. So,
maybe he had an eye.”

After that came his TV
series M Squad.

“I did that for three years,”
he says. “It burned me out.
We did those in two days.”

SHSS
Report
by Lynn:

Ball:

A poll was recently taken of the Grade 12 class. It
was a random sampling of roughly one-eighth of the
grads. The results showed the following trends.

For the sake of convenience, let's call the average
Grade 12 Stanley Humphries student “Stan.”

Stan is a real rocker. His favorite groups are Led
Zeppelin, Van Halen and Helix. His favorite solo artist is
Bryan Adams.

Stan's favorite movie is Purple Rain, but he's not too
sure about his second favorite. He likes Ghostbusters,
Road Warrior, and Beverly Hills Cop.

Stan's New Year's uti were to quit
do better in school, and to have fun. He hopes to keep
them, but isn’t too sure how well he'll do with the first
two. The last one, however should be easy.

Stan's favorite pasttimes are partying and listening
to music. He spends his weekends partying, playing
sports and working.

The job Stan (or Stanette) would most enjoy having
would be anything to do with fashion, from photography
to owning a boutique to cosmetoligist, followed by such
things as doctor, teacher or mechanic. The survey
showed that Stan would definitely like a job. In fact,
about half the students who were polled had some kind of
part-time work.

Stan's biggest goal for the future is success in his
career. A few people chose marriage as their greatest
wish, but surprisingly no one chose happiness.

It is hardly surprising then that Stan's second
biggest political concern is the economy, the deficit,
and especially, unemployment. Stan’s main concern bya
wide margin, however, is the arms race and nuclear war.

Stan is itely i ing to ii his ed
after graduating, although he’s hoping for more than a
little help from his parents. As it is, Stan does one to two
hours of homework a night.
