BUC faces contract dilemma
By DENNISC. LEONARD
News Editor
Multiples Studios, who was
contracted last Spring by the
BUCCANEER, has recently
refused to honor its contract
and has asked BUC Editor
Monika Sutherland to neglect
the Fall shooting schedule.
"In April the Publications
Board received bids for por-
trait photography and they
decided to sign a contract with
Multiples of New York said
Sutherland. "Thecontract was
signed between myself and
Michael Cantoni, a Multiples
sales representative
According to Sutherland
the contract called for a
photographer to come from
New York for five different
sitting sessions free of charge
0 ECU students, secondly
hey were to send photograph-
s down five times to photo-
raph anything the BUC-
ANEER office requested free
f charae. thev were to provide
300 rolls of film, and they were
to offer a $2 rebate to the
BUCCANEER fa every senior
photo taken.
When Sutherland contact-
ed Multipics, she was told by
the president of the firm that
Cantoni was no longer with the
company and that they could
not honor the contract in the
Fall.
M ultipics informed Suther-
land that the contract she
signed was not a standard
contract and that it had not
been approved by the presi-
dent of the firm, thus voiding
the contract.
"I called the SGA and
asked them what to do because
there was no Pub Board.
SGA President Tim Sullivan
was not in his office and I
talked to Treasurer Linda
Thomason because she was on
the Pub Board at the time the
contract was approved
Thomason got me an
appointment with Blount,
Crisp ana uranyrnyre, the
newly retained SGA legal firm
and William Grantmyre stated
that there was a possibility of
suit.
"I saw Sullivan later and
he personally felt that the
company had violated its con-
tract and the decision to sue
would be left up tome
Sutherland then called
Multipics while in Grant-
myre' s office and Grantmyre
felt that the photo company
was bound to the contract.
The president of the firm
again said that there was no
way the contract could be
fulfilled and restated that
Cantoni made agreements that
were not feasible. The com-
pany spokesman further noted
that Cantoni represented him-
self as the vice-president of
the compaiy instead of the
sales representative that he
actually was.
According to Sutherland,
there are three courses of
action that the SGA can take
against Multiples Studios.
The first course would be
that the firm would have to
come down to ECU and honor
the contract.
Secondly, the BUC-
CANEER could sue Multipics
Studios fa breach of contract.
Thirdly, Multipics could
release the BUCCANEER
from the contract and pay
them $4,000 in damages which
the BUCCANEER is going to
suffer due to the contract
denial by the photography
firm.
"I would prefer settlement
of the $4,000 damages cost
because personally I do not
want them to come down here
to take photos because I doubt
their ability to do quality
work said Sutherland.
What course of action
Editor Sutherland and the
SGA is going to take is still
pending, but they do have the
advantage of having a legal
firm represent that course of
action.

eNiro finds cinematic success in TAXI DRIVER
�
I By LARRY S. SLAUGHTER
Staff Writer
film by Martin Scorcese
reenplay by Paul Schraeder
Martin Scacese's dazzling
macabre Taxi Driver is
jising into culture-starved
feeenville this week. This
fk, brooding and sensually
rwhelming film is a fine
jmatic accomplishment
it no serious moviegoer
jld faegr particularly in
jit of the trash that has been
foding Greenville movie
reensasof late. It is highly
able that we will continue
1 plagued the remainder of
summer by the likes of
i garbage as Lifeguard and
iwmpsand will get but a few
Irerdue treats such as
jckoo's Nest and The Omen.
en months after its release,
hxi Driver promises to as-
kult the Pitt Theatre with a
jree of sophistication un-
�MMWMM
common to recent Greenville
off ;ngs. However, if you are
one who attends films to be
exclusively entertained by
light-hearted fanfare, I would
suggest that you avoid Taxi
Driver like the Dlaaue.
About the juvenile pub-
licity that has shrouded Taxi
Driver: Yes, it does contain
"one of the most violent
scenes every filmed Yes, it
is "shocking and terrifying
Yes, "you will be shocked by
what happens to the 12 year
old girl and the taxi driver
But anyone who attends Taxi
Driver to exculsively fulfill
these expectations will likely
be blind a uninterested in
Taxi Driver's immense artistic
and sociological value. Society
rears its wounds when distri-
butors are coerced into parad-
ing a serious artistic effat as
an exclusive blood bath to
attract its masses.
Taxi Driver is a colafui
and mesmerizing portrait of
mmmmtmmmmmmmmmm
a lonely existential man
stranded and desperate fa
meaningful existence in the
grime and neon of New Yak
City. Robert DeNiro gives an
Oscar-deserving perfamance
as a cabbie who is so intensely
infected with his own sense of
alienation and disgust fa the
"scum ai the streets" that
he continually ruminates about
"cleaning this place up
DeNiro's Travis Bickle, in
typical Western wald fashiai,
externalizes his own inner
demons onto the streets to
depersonalize the human
"garbage" that is ALWAYS
floating in and out of his view.
And the garbage will not go
away. "They come out every
night writes Travis in his
diary, "buggers, queens,
pimps, doperssick. Venile.
Someday a real rain'II cone
and wash them all away
Travis spends time in his
dingy oie rccm flat when he's
not auising around in his cab.
� mi ' i iim
His ills begin to trouble him to
much that he can's sleep at
nights. He waks double and
triDle shifts. He poos bennies.
He stays wired. Then he
chances upon a lovely blonde
named Betsy and attempts to
engulf her with his romantic
idolization, while desperate to
bring meaning into his little
universe. Out of sheor inno-
cent ignaance, Travis courts
Betsy to a pano movie. She
interprets his choice of movies
as a personal insult and flees.
Here, Travis' last cad to
objective reality is severed.
The schizophrenic fissure in
Travis' lonely soul deepens
and the wald falls prey to his
messianic, grandiose mission.
Travis Bickle is At Large.
Robert DeNiro's per-
famance is so exact as the
fragmented Travis Bickle that
it will be a travesty if the
Academy declines to award
him. Scacese frames the lean,
angry youth in an erotic and
omnipotent manner, height-
ening the magnitude of sexual
avarice that Travis do deeply
experiences and so quickly
denounces as characteristic of
the New Yak sidewalks. JaJie
Foster, who was last seen in
1974' s A lice Doesn' t Live Here
Anymore, gives a knockout
perfamance as the 12 year old
child-whae whom Travis at-
tempts to rescue from the
scum-laden streets. Cybill
Shepherd pulls her career out
of the muck with a convincing
performance as Betsy. Al-
though Harvey Keitel's role as
the pimp smacks of excess, his
character remains amusingly
engaging.
Scacese has had previous
successes with Mean Streets
and Alice Doesn't Live Here
Anymore. Although his films
deal with urban American
saes (Scacese grew up in
New Yak's Little Italy), his
filmic style is peculiarly
European. Scacese has bril-
liantly employed his operatic
framewak to fashion a night-
marish and disquieting vision
of our contempaary urban ills.
The directa has copped a
loaded arsenal of cinematic
tricks from faeign precursers
and has fused them into a slick
sensory statement. Special
Phaographer Steve Shapiro
bathes our vision of New Yak
in sewer steam that envelops
Travis' checkered cab like an
omen from Hell; he blends
dissolves and multiple ex-
posures to aeate a suspended
urban environment of smooth,
liquid neon. Shapiro's skills
are instrumc al in, Taxi
Driver's disturbing explor-
ation of New Yak and the
Travis Bickles in it. Further-
mae we see New' Yak and its
garbage like Travis Bickle sees
it: fragmented, depersonal-
ized, frightening, surreal. The
ominous nature of Schraeder's
nightmare stay line has been

Ficklen expansionists hit the money trail, again
The pro-improvement for Ficklen Stadium
people are on the move again, this time they are
out to collect $2.5 million for the addition of
19,000 seats and improvement of the press box
and playing field.
Commentary
The last time we heard from the ECU athletic
supporters, the goal was better lights and their
dictum was punctuated with dollar signs. That
unsolicited capital improvement soaked $475,000
from student fees, causing each student's
assessment to increase $6 per quarter.
This time the stadium people are taking a less
ruthless approach and are attempting to raise the
necessary capital from contributions only.
As of this week the fund-raising drive is in the
organizational stage being headed by John
Prevette, an ECU graduate and former town
planner at Beth. Prevette said that as of yet only
$5,000 had been Dledaed, that being given
anonymously to get the drive organized. Actual
solicitations will not begin until the drive's
Chairman Roddy Jones, and Vice-chairman,
Chancellor Leo Jenkins name a local chairman.
The fund raisers hope to oollect $1 million
from the Greenville area alone.
With this mark reached they will then turn
their attention to statewide and national
solicitations, mostly of ECU alumni.
Prevette alluded to the possibility of the
expansion program beginning with only $1
million, without improvements, to the field and
press box.
Whatever the outcome of this drive, credit
should be given to the proponents for going to the
community for support instead of hanging
students by their heels to get needed change.
The "Gr

JOHN PREVETTE-Project Coordinator
Indeed, the Greenville business community will
reap the long range benefits of a bigger stadium,
especially when large groups of outside people
come here for sports events and religious
ausades which an expanded stadium could l.35
accomodate.
For this reason we urge all those in the
Greenville community, who favor improvements
fa the university, and those students who would
like to see State play here to contribute to the
drive.
January, 1977, has been set as the target date .
fa the collection of the $2.5 million with i
construction slated to begin after this year's last
home game if the drive goes as planned. With I
student suppat the drive could meet its deadlines
and the stadium addition could be a reality by
football season 1977.

intensified by Scorcese's ex-
pert integration of recurring
circular motifs which mark
Travis' endless routes through
the murky New York jungle.
Most notable of these
motifs is the film's sensual,
sledgehammer jazz score.
Bernard Herrmann's pound-
ing underscore pushes the
film, at moments, to almost
unbearable intensities. In con-
trast, the fluid, old fashioned
saxophone theme heightens
parts of Taxi Driver to a lush,
dreamy romanticism meshed
in a dayglo haze. Herrmann's
exoellent score is functionally
important because it deepens
our empathy with Travis'
cerebral split between the
gutter reality in which he is
foroed to live and the ideal of
meaning and romance to
which he aspires.
Taxi Driver does possess
its seeming flaws. The vio-
lence is hard-core. Characters
are sometimes bent and
stretched out of their own
proportion, presenting a state
of irritating ambiguities. Some
speak lines peculiar to their
roles. Soorcese twists action
out of the film's largely
realistic framework to achieve
his spellbinding effects. He
resolves the film with a very
cynical and unlikely ending in
order to render his philosophi-

Taxi Driver's oonstant oscil-
lation from surrealism to
realism - a characteristic of the
film which may leave some
viewers stranded.
Taxi Driver's sparse short-
comings, however, are dwarf-
ed into obscurity by Scorcese's
overshadowing brillianoe. He
has succeeded in painting an
unforgettable portrait about
the dark night of the Soul.
Sooroese has lurched forth to
stab the guts of the human
oondition, reminding us of the
sad and perfunctory crevice
into which so many modern
