Hv Paul Strohl The Wiz, ·a film version of the Broadway play based on the L. Frank Baum story The Wizard of Oz, has just opened in Baltimore. It stars Diana Ross (as Dorothy), Michael Jackson (as the Scarecro~), Nipsey Russell (as the Tinmanl. Ted Ross (as the Cowardly Linn). and Richard Pryor (as the Wiz). CtJmparisons between this version and the 1939 MGM version are bound to be made. hut The Wiz actually follows the tniginal story more closely. True, the special effects are better in the 1939 version. hut things were cheaper then. Each film reflects its time period, and The ·wiZ' is Without a doubt a product of the 1970's. The story follows the adventures of a young school teacher (Diana Ross) who gets lost in a snowstorm and ends up in the magical Land of Oz (which looks strangely like New York City). She meets the Scarecrow, Tinman. and the Lion and they go to see the Wiz inside the Em.erald City. He sends them to destroy the Wicked Witch, and although the obstacles are great, eventually. every­ thing turns out well. What do you expect with a "G" rating? Obviously, it isn't the complex plot that makes.this film worthwhile. It's the exotic costumes and fantastic sets. Of course. the songs and dances help too, hut the most amazing thing about the film is the way that they transform New York into a fantasy world, complete with killer-subways and carnivorous trash­ cans. The Wiz tries to capture the spirit of social satire which Baum aimed for in the original book (and was ignored in the 1939 version).

Eighty-eight students were denied defernnents on their tuition and housing bills after there was still some delay in processing federal financial aid requests. That means they have been deregistered and are officially no longer stu­ dents at UMBC. What can they do now? They have attended classes for two months, all the time assuming they would receive financial aid. They've been thrown out of UMBC with bills ranging from $380 to nearly $1,200 for residence that they must pay. This doesn't even include all the other expenses they have had, such as books, gas, bus fares, parking registration, pens and paper. To top it off they have 90 days to pay their bills before the state central collection agency begins collecting. If these students had known they were ineligible- which isn't necessarily true -they could have spent the past two months earning enough to pay the spring semester tuition or to find an alternative source of income for this semester. Instead, they've spent the past two months toiling away. And for what? Nothing, apparently. They are to be taken off class lists and they can start packing. They can't pay their bills because of a snag in the federal bureaucracy. It just doesn't seem fair. Federal bureaucracy fouls things up, a "thinking" computer delays the procedures and the victims, UMBC students, must pay for it. The 88 students in this predicament should be allowed to continue attend- bureaucratic red tape. Aren't there emergency funds in some account to ing classes.

Every year at· this time., financial aid funds at UMBC are pretty scarce. ·These students shouldn't be made to suffer the consequences of a "thinking" But there must be a way to help these students who h.ave become victims of computer's delays.
