And thirdly, we need to stop supplying [El Salvador id: YP id. .1. President Jose Napoleon] Duarte with bombs and planes to bomb the people in Central America. I think that the people in the United States have to be told about the cir- cumstances in South America in some basic terms so that there can be some understanding that the issues are mar- kets, the issues are the suppression of wages, and it is really not the fear of communism. People have to ask themselves: why is it that these people take up arms in order to change the government? The reason very clearly is: because of the extent of the poverty and the exploita- tion that have gone on. Q: The United States and Soviet Union both have arms control proposals on the table now; neither side is accept- ing the other's. Do you think that any proposals that have been made are credible ones; should we be accepting theirs? A: I am not really very interested in fine tuning the pro- posals; I think the essential issue is what is your attitude. Are we pursuing peace and really working at it? It seems to me that it is in the interests of the Soviet Union, given its economic situation, to want to have some- thing that allows for the reduction of the use of their re- sources for the military. So I would see their proposal as fundamentally having a serious purpose behind it. That pur- pose is to get the resources into the consumer area, because people want things. They have built up a kind of internal fragmentation of dissatisfaction with the government. Q: Is that also true in the United States? Could we also use our resources more efficiently? A: Well, absolutely. I heard [Chrysler Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Lee A.] Iacocca when he spoke at Q: Let's start here at MIT: What can you tell me about saying was that the people in the district would not re- the graduation say that we have become a colony because your involvement here? spond to the fact that I was the most experienced candi- we are buying the products from Japan and Germany.

You'll never eat another sausage Asked, "what do you think about non-human animals?" a person on the street in The Animals Film answers "I haven't given them a lot of thought." This surprising feature- length documentary does. It thinks about the fur-bearing animals of all descriptions, gnawing their limbs off in leg-hold traps in the North American wilderness. It thinks about the victims of vivisec- tion in redundant experiments and training exercises. It thinks about the beef cattle be--_ ing fattened for market on a diet of cement and excrement. "GEN -LEMEN, AS OF 0400 HOURS WE OPERA"E UNDER. .OPNDI1ON RE... AI1ACK BY GRAMM RUDM'AAN" This is a film to see if you have never thought about any of these subjects. If there is no other way to convince you to see this film, think of it as a supreme example of the filmmakers' craft. The perception which is brought to bear in the movie is remarkable. Clever editing intersperses scenes of pigs at a factory farm, rooting at the metal bars of their cages, with hogs in the wild, manufacture of sausage links, and advertisements for pharmaceu- tical companies. The film contains everything from animation to underwater photogra- Even more interesting to consider is Schonfeld's work as an investigative journalist, ever impartial, in compiling some of the more astonishing footage. A lengthy segment on factory farming was compiled by feigning an interest in the farmers' ingenuity in "trying to breed animals without legs and chickens without feathers."

Underneath it all is Julie Christie's steady voice, describing | aF the scenes which unfold before us. Some are brutal: chickens being debeaked, veal calves : ' l starved, monkeys shocked until they vomit. Others are more subtle: a McDonald's com- mercial featuring a "hamburger patch" denies that Bessie was slaughtered to provide our burgers. As with humans, it is the female of most species who bears the bulk of the suffering. Sows are shown being forcibly serviced, and then confined in tiny breeding pens where they don't have room to fall over and injure their piglets. As one woman says in the film, "If I don't see it, I wouldn't mind." This film denies us all that excuse. The film was shot over a four year period, mostly in the United States and the United Kingdom. Made for only $300,000, it was a labor of love for everyone involved. The - X care that was put into it comes across on screen as in very few other films. E ,ir The makers of the film say that "It's not about them; it's about us," and this state- ment is very perceptive. Ultimately, the film is a terrifying journey into the dark side of humanity, an expose of the evil which we perpetuate in the name of greed. The Animals-Film will be shown on campus tomorrow night. You should consider seeing it, particularly if your initial inclination is to dismiss it as so much extremist propaganda. If that is the way you feel about the subject, then you are exactly the per- son this film is for, if not about. PAGE 8 The Tech TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 1986 M-
