T. fr Wesf Point's Max' Is TO Years Old V. nrnwn finnn. llfiOl uuii All anisis become known for a certain type thing they do. I guess famine will be Max," artist James J.

Boujiklan says In gross understatement. Max, the Army mule car 2 toon character that appears posters" printed for each Army football game, has become an International synv bol. And James Boujiklan, art director of the Audio Visual Aids Department, is the man behind the symbol. Before each Army, football game, more than 1,500 Max. are printed by the Academy AG printing plant and distributed throughout the They go like hot cakes.

People put them up on and walls and, in more and more cases, Into private Collections" of Boujiklan work. Max posters have been sent to the White House. Generals ask for copies. They hang in carpeted Pentagon offices, be hind bars in Germany and on hootch walls in Vietnam. Max everywhere.

Spirit Symbol The Whole thing started 10 ago when some cadets dropped Into Boujiklan's of with" an Idea. "They wanted a spirit symbol Something like the Playboy Bunny symbol," Boujikian re lnembers. "One of the Rabble Jjftousers (Army mule riders) tame up with a drawing of a Jnule head. I worked it over Kjwd Max was born." ift: Originally, Max was just a vhead "with one ear up and ijone ear down. Somebody said, ijSWhatsa matter, doesn't this know how to draw any? tjthlng but What they Nflidn't know was that I was Nfslowly showing a little more of Max In each poster." That year's A a game poster was the first to show Max in toto.

Since then, the whole Max has been used on every poster. Boujikian had some other problems with Max's early development. "I'm not a car i toonlst. And it's very difficult to go from fine art to cartoon Second, the mule is a hard animal to characterize with its long face and funny ears." Boujikian solved the problem of giving Max personality by using his eyes to convey the I human LBqa expressions Max wears on his posters.

Boujikian works on a new rough sketch of the lively mule th'at symbolizes West Points sports and sports spirit. their power to make Max's face more expressive and less mule like. The cartoon ideas for the Max posters all come from 1 1 a n. At first cadets gave him ideas for the humorous posters, but Boujikiona has created all the cartoon ideas for the past seven years.

Boujikian gets his ideas for Max cartoons by thinking in terms of the opposing team's mascot or symbol. "For instance, in the case of the Missouri poster, I kept thinking of the Missouri tiger in terms of a tiger skin rug. So I made the Missouri tiger into a rug and. had Max relaxing on it." Many of the Max posters continue a certain story line for several years. The Army Navy posters, for example, have had a doctor patient theme with Max the doctor and the poor Navy goat the patient.

Boujiklan, who lives in Wappinger "Falls, came to what is aow the Audio Visual Aids Department nearly 26 years ago, the first civilian artist hired in the Department. Now the art director, Boujikian studied at the New York Phoenix School of Design and worked free lance in New York City fpr several art studios before coming to West Point. He owns an art gallery and school in Beacoa. The gallery shows work by himself and' other Hudson Valley artists. The school has classes f5V' both youngsters and adults.

The Audio Visual Aids, which creates graphic materials used'in cadet classes and other West Point agencies, has grown from a staff of one ci 1 1 i a artist (Boujikian) 28 years ago to eight clyilian and two enlisted artists today.

Evidence has been accumulating that the onset of heart disease can' be forestalled by regular, vigorous exercise (after 1 1 1 the "go ahead" from one's doctor), cutting down on animal fats, keeping or getting, as the case may be thin (not simply not fat, but "rib showing" thin), and not smokr i especially cigarettes which are inhaled. (Heredity, too, plays an important role, but since we can do nothing about that, it is not worth considering). The enjoyable, small paperback Human Heart," Is easy and very informative reading. Since mere must be several thousand persons in the Mid Hudson region who have recovered from heart attacks, and since there are thousands more who are well on their way to preventable cardiovascular disease of one kind or another, this is a bode which should be I reading.

i Its 26 chapters comprehensively cover the human heart from anatomy and physiology in health and disease, through pregnancy, first aid for the coronary victim, heart examinations and surgery, to high blood pressure. Although the teaching of health science is now required in all New" York State schools, it will be a long time before our adult population is educated in this most important and relevant area. "The Human Heart" can go a long way toward eliminating the educational void that exists with regard to the dumber one killer in nation. This book would make a nice Christmas present, especially since it is actually likely to be read, being eminently readable. DONALD H.

PURETZ Dutchess Community College Mty WILLIAM GLOVER AP Drama Writer NEW YORK (AP) Jules Feiffer, the eminent multiple media satirist, knows not Just where he will strike next at collective complacency "The way I(seem tirworlc best, is on a system. of avoidance," he says lb describe his roundabout creative process. There are currently in development a drama, a book political comment and a Some yet unborn project could, overtake them all. Always, of course, there are those cartoons started the Feiffer syndrome and which consumed so little of his mordant verve that galloping diversification proved the only salvation. As a vigilante of political patterns aid social behavior, the Feiffer impact on his fellow man has reached institutional proportion.

From the stygian obscurity of military indenture, the son of a Bronx salesman has in 15 years outflanked all rivals in lampoo nery. In outlook a nonconformist and idealist, Feiffer at 42 makes sardonically contradictory comments about his own immediate attitudes. He is more and less adjusted. "The trauma of urban life doesn't really grow worse," says the man who. dissected random violence to a fare thee well in the play and film "Little Murders' "Writing about those things sort of exercised my paranoia.

While everyone else gets more jumpy, I'm getting less so." When he discusses political and international concerns, however, Feiffer notes a growing private restive ness and contrasting public serenity. Mocks Apathy His determination to mock ostrich apathy, plus his own inner vulnerability as "a victim of the Puritan ethic," sent Feiffer back to the political wars right after release a few months ago of the film "Car nal Knowledge" which he wrote and; Mike Nichols directed. The en suing sequence. of events illustrates his work method. "I tried to start another movie and got nowhere, so I said the bell with that, what I vhould do is put together a collection of all my political cartoons; 'write a 20,000 word text thatvwould hopefully turn out to be a satiric essay on cold war America from the late days of the Elsenhower Administration when.

I began (1956) into the '70s. "I thought that will geV me away from all show business; so I gathered a lot of books on politics and forejgn policy. I researched fiercely for two weeks, then went, into my" studio one morning and started on this play." In passing, let it be noted that "Carnal Knowledge," which deals with contemporary sexual morality, was intended as a stage drama until Nichols changed his mind; and "Little Murders," which domed Feiffer first out of his basic cartoon and novel orbit, had genesis as a book. The motion picture the first time that Feiffer has not used satire since he aimed, his first rapier at Establishment ways with the story of a 4 year old boy who got drafted into the Army and fought a losing battle with bureaucratic authority. Feiffer has found satire can be ill timed.

"The White House Murder Case," the play which, followed "Little Mur ders," did okay at the box office "until the things it told about began to come true in Cambodia." For parallel reason, he withdrew "God Bless" after a somewhat mediocre debut with England's Royal Shakespeare Company. "It was a vitriolic blasPat American liberalism before everybody else got into the act," says the author who defies easy ideological classification. snaanaanaanaanaaaanaanaanaanaanaf SKs83ananananB agnagNgHir 'gnnaanf 9i naansaHanaanaanaaaRI lsaanaanaf '''HK' (gV Jk. alfK Banaanaanaanaanaanaanar Vmal Jf 'aBnanaaatl BnaBnBnBnBnBnBnBnBnanL aflr' "War snananananananananaaK "BaaaV: tSmManaananifei nBBnBBnBBnBBnBBnBBnBanuE a faananananananananananaaak aamsnuaEI aBnaanaanaanaanaaaaslaaaVM nantaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanakSnK "aSaneH ggggggggggggBaKSalnnaniaaank''' 4Ut fPfgBlM annannannannanaaunML. 4'WanlB SgggggggggggggggBagg ngnanvlllllllllllllllllHaBBnBK V' gnaBBBBBBBai BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBn BBalalnBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBal BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBn ''PBBBBBBBBBa BnBBBnBBBnBBBnBBBnBBBnBBBnBBBnBBBnBBBnBBBnBBBBMr kJi BBnBBBnBBni TAlwslsatlrJiThot JULES FEIFFER has a restless impatience with apathy, orthodoxy and complacence! It has impelled him to the attack1 with his weapon of satire from many sides.

The 42 year old author's skeptical broadsides have burst forth as cartoons, books, plays and funis with "Little Murders" his most resonant title so far, as both play and film. He's never sure where hewill strike next. But currently in development are a drama, a book of political comment and another film. Mental Health Library Lists Books Available By MrsTRobett Pantrldge, Librarian A young child when removed from his mother and placed with strangers is distressed; subsequently he 'often becomes despairing. There is evidence that reactions of this kind may underlie many disturbances of later life, for example on the one hand, a tendency to make excessive demands on others and' to be anxious and angry when they are not met and, on the other; a blockage In the' capacity to make deep relationships, such as' is present in affectibnless and psychopathic personalities."

It may seem a i a 1 10 draw two rounds of trumps and lead a diamond towards the KQ, for this line of play would enable you to make the contract If it turned out that West had the ace of diamonds, or, failing that, if a club finesse succeeded. In the actual hand you would go down on this line of play, assuming best defense; You would lose four tricks consisting of a spade, two diamonds and a club.

However, there is a much better way to play the hand. After two rounds of trumps you should lead a low club towards the 5 in dummy, deliberately bypassing the finesse. Observe the effect of this play in the actual hand. If West does not go up with tfie king, he never gets club trick and you easily make the contract. Observe also that, if he goes up with the king, you of course play the five and later discard two diamonds from dummy on the A of clubs to bring home the contract.

But how are you supposed to know "that it's wrong to attempt a club finesse in this hand? Actually there are reasons and good ones at that. Since West opened the bidding, it is perfectly reason able to assume he has either the ace of diamonds or king of clubs for his bid. Consequently, the lead of a low club to the queen is sure to nail down the contract. WeBt dealer, East West vulnerable.
