Photo by Hal Lott M A S H Portrayed Idiocy of War Former M A S H star Mike Farrell opened to a standing ovation when he spoke to students Nov. 17 in the Grand Ballroom, UC. Asked about his M A S H costar, Farrell said, Alan Alda is everything positive that anyone ' s ever written about him. Farrell ' s favorite episode of M A S H shows a reporter inter- viewing the members of the camp. Farrell calls the episode the best sin- gle half hour that ' s ever been on the air. Speaking of B.J. Honeycutt, the character he portrayed in M A S H, Farrell said, B.J. and I share a lot of the same views. But Farrell added that he was different from Honeycutt in some ways. B.J. doesn ' t have as many rough edges as I do, he said. Throughout his speech, Farrell an- swered questions from the audience about M A S H and about U.S. mili- tary involvement around the world. Farrell said, Voter apathy in this country is appalling. He said he is in- volved in politics because he is a citizen and believes we all, as citizens, are responsible for what our country does. Farrell said, I was a political and social activist before I became an actor. When asked if he would like to be President, Farrell replied, I don ' t want to be in politics except as a citizen. Farrell said M A S H portrayed the idiocy of the war in Korea. We had a lot of support from the military, he said. They knew that we were talking about the mindless- ness of war. Farrell said that the U.S. government ' s rationale for invading Grenada is contradictory. ... it ' s one more indication that our Presi- dent leaps before he looks, he said. We have absolutely no business dictating to any country what kind of government they should have. How can we condemn the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan if we invade Grenada? 28 Student Life

Falwell Advocates Military Strength The Rev. Jerry Falwell, leader of the Moral Majority, a conservative politi- cal activist group, spoke on the topic, America on the Rebound, on Sept. 12 in the Grand Ballroom, UC. Audi- ence reaction to his comments was strong. Amens, hallelujahs, and applause were mixed with boos and harshly worded questions. Falwell said four major crises con- front the American public: Soviet ex- pansionism, nuclear buildup, possible economic collapse and moral deca- dence. Citing moral decadence as the basis for all other crises, Falwell summarized the Moral Majority ' s posi- tion as pro-life, pro-family, pro-mo- rality and pro-defense. He blamed Photo bv Marc Morrison previous generations ' lack of respect for traditional values and the media for the country ' s moral decadence. Falwell said the media have promot- ed the socialist cause. If the media had been around in jesus ' time, he wouldn ' t have gotten anything done. Falwell proclaimed abortion the national sin of America. Only the born can speak for the unborn he said. Do we have the right to mur- der 13 million babies who can ' t speak for themselves? God loves human life. When Falwell mentioned the pro- life stance, a student in the audience began loudly questioning Falwell ' s support of Israel. Falwell responded, these people always scream about the First amendment until it ' s someone else ' s turn to talk. Falwell said America should never turn its back on Israel. The student continued to interupt Falwell ' s speech and was asked to leave. As she walked out Falwell snapped, Why don ' t you car- ry a swastika with you, honey? Speaking of Soviet expansionism and nuclear buildup, Falwell described the Soviets as having one goal — world conquest. I would rather fight them in El Salvador than in El Paso, he said. Falwell advocated military strength as the greatest deterent to war. The Soviets are in an arms race; we ' re in reverse, he comment- ed. When a member of the audience suggested that a contradiction exists between pro-life stance and pro- capital punishment, pro-nuclear buildup positions, Falwell acknowl- edged no contradiction.
