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.”

Lauren 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.”

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 matter.”

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

The board decided to re- view its textbook review pol- icy before dealing with any of the books and results are to be discussed at a meeting Jan. 24.

A petition supporting Laurence has been circulated in Lakefield and will also be presented at the meeting.

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.
