Show Letters to the EdiTOR Article differs from editorial Editor: As author of the article on Amnion Hennacy, to which Bruce Griffin referred in his letter to the editor on Feb. 17, I feel a few clarifications are in order. The Hennacy article was written writ-ten as a feature, not a news story. When, however, it was placed on page one and the byline dropped due to an editing mistake, it appeared ap-peared to be a news story. The difference between the Rubin editorial and the Hennacy feature is best accounted for by realizing that they were written by different people. The editorial was composed by the Chronicle's editors. The Hennacy story was my own idea, which I, as a Chronicle Chron-icle staff member, researched, wrote and then submitted to the Chronicle. It was not an assigned news story. Finally, let me say that I view Bruce Griffin's comparison of Amnion Hennacy and Jerry Rubin as totally absurd. Apparently he did not stop to consider the different dif-ferent place violence occupied in each of these men's lives. Nor did he discern the tenets by which Hennacy lived. BILL MARLING Union movies could be better Editor: I concur in your front-page article ar-ticle (Feb. 18) praising the Union Movie Committee for its efforts to improve the projection equipment at Union Movies. As a frequent Union-movie-goer, I appreciate the need for improvement. However, How-ever, to state that the spring quarter quar-ter movie schedule is an "improvement" "improve-ment" is to indicate that both your writer and the film selection committee are celuloid illiterates. Are the "recent and fairly new" Hollywood films listed in your column "improvements" over the films of such directors as Pabst, Goddard, Antonioni and Bergman (all scheduled during winter quar-ter)?Those quar-ter)?Those whose taste run to the films scheduled for spring can fully satisfy themselves from the offerings of television and Salt Lake City's unimaginative movie houses. I am hopeful that future selections for the University community com-munity will be made with better informed judgment. GEORGE S.GROSSMAN ASSOC. PROF. OF LAW AND LAW LIBRARIAN Misunderstanding on surgery Editor: For . the benefit of those who read the article on Nursing in last Monday's Chronicle, I would like to make a statement on a comment com-ment I was quoted as saying about the operating room. In my experience experi-ence in the operating room as a student nurse and as a surgical technician I have consistently seen nothing but good technique and applied knowledge. Operations save many lives every day, and I would never discourage anyone who was contemplating surgery under proper medical supervision. I'm sorry the statement led some people to believe otherwise.
