Peoples Jury ConsidersConspirators Sentences Thirteen houses have tentatively beenscheduled for coeducation by the inter¬house council (IHC) committee on coedhousing.The final proposal was based on resultsof questionnaires and a desire to maintainan 8-5 male-female ratio in the houses.Modifications in the proposal and sugges¬tions may be made at open meetings sched¬uled for next week in all major dorm com¬plexes.The committee discussed different formsof coeducation within a house. Some build¬ings could be coeducated only on a floor byfloor basis due to limited facilities on thefloors. In other buildings the plan of split¬ting floors into two wings, half female, halfmale, were discussed.IHC’s tentative proposal suggests that atGreenwood and Blackstone Halls the apart¬ments be made available to either two menor two women with about 98 spaces avail¬able for men and 78 for women.It is proposed that Eleanor Club (1442 E59 St) and Boucher Hall remain women’sand men’s residence halls respectively,which is in accordance with a committeeprinciple of leaving at least one building formen and one for women.In Burton-Judson courts, the committeeproposes 60 women are to be moved intothe third floor of Dodd, the third and fourthfloors of Chamberlin, and the second andfourth floors of Vincent.For Pierce Tower it is suggested that ap¬proximately 80 women be divided amongthe odd numbered floors of Thompson, Hen¬derson, and Shorey Houses.The proposal for Woodward Court sug¬gests that Lower Flint remain an all malehouse. Lower Rickert is to remain an allfemale house. The first floor of lower Wall¬ace will be women, the second floor menfor a floor by floor coed house. The floors ofupper Wallace and Upper Rickert will bedivided into two half and half coed houses.Upper Flint will be a random coed house.Open meetings to discuss the proposaland to recommend changes will be heldMonday, 7 pm Lower Rickert HouseLounge; Tuesday, 8 pm Pierce Tower Cafe¬teria; Wednesday, February 18, 7pm Hitch¬cock Lounge; Thursday, February 19, 7:30pm Burton-Judson Dining Hall.The committee is composed of two facul¬ty members who are resident heads, thedirector of student housing, and seven stu¬dents who are IHC members of volunteersfrom the student body.Conspiracy defendant Rennie Davis andNew Mobe leader Sidney Lens, addressed arally yesterday afternoon in the FederalBuilding plaza. Meanwhile inside the Fed¬eral building on the 21st floor, the defensewas finishing its final arguments in theChicago conspiracy trial."The eight people who were brought toChicago on trial regard you as the jury,”said Davis to the 300 shivering demonstra¬tors. “What we see happening now as thesummations are completed now and thejudge gives the instructions to the jury tofind us guilty is that young people, blackpeople, press people, and free people allacross this country themselves constitute ajury.”Friedman Suggests Possible ReformsAfter the rally, a marathon people’s jurybegan at the Church of the Epiphany at 201S Ashland. The people’s jury will continuethrough the weekend, featuring the defend¬ants, defense witnesses, rock bands, a lightshow, and guerilla theatre in a round-the-clock marathon.Last night, a rock band started at 4, thedefendants spoke and talked with the au¬dience at 7 pm, and author Norman Mailerand activist Staughton Lynd spoke later.Today, Second City is scheduled in theafternoon along with rock bands and a lightshow in the evening.Actor Dustin Hoffman will speak in theevening. Steve AokiMILTON FRIEDMAN: The famous economist lectures in Quantrell auditorium.PIERCE TOWER: Pierce is only one of the dormitories currently being considered for coeducation. Steve AokiMilton Friedman, Russell distinguishedservice professor of economics conducted atwo hour lecture Thursday afternoon inQuantrell auditorium.Responding to questions posed by his au¬dience, nearly 350 people, mostly under¬graduate students in the social sciences,Friedman ranged over many issues, few ofthem exclusively economic.Noted for his criticism of what has be¬come traditional economic policy, govern¬mental influence through its fiscal controls,Friedman reiterated his well-known obser¬vations concerning the greater significanceof monetary policy. He definted money sup¬ply as the quantity of actual currency, plusdemand deposits in commercial bankinghouses, and occasionally time deposits.He discussed other governmental activi¬ties, including attempts to attack dis¬crimination in hiring practices such as thepublicized “Philadelphia Plan.” Friedman remarked, “I don’t like to see evil fightingevil.”Citing the difficulties in maintaining qual¬ity in education, and noting some of thedrawbacks of public schooling and its limi¬tations of improvement by competition,Friedman discussed his “education voucherplan.” Briefly, parents of school childrenwould receive governmental vouchers in auniform, given sum, perhaps equivalent tothe cost of educating the students in an av¬erage public school, and would be per¬mitted to use the voucher to send the chil¬dren to any school they chose.This proposal, like others, would, Fried¬man argues, improve the institutions af¬fected. In this case, educational institutionswould be forced to compete for the vou¬chers by providing better facilities, facul¬ties, and administrators.Friedman discussed his proposal for anall-volunteer army, arguing that such a system is not just the only one consistentwith libertarian principles , but is also theonly one that would be economically ef¬ficient. He declared that in almost everyinstance, his first considerations are for themaximalization of personal freedom.Responding to a question concerning eco¬nomic development, he analyzed the prog¬ress made by Japan. In 1948, he said, Ja¬pan was still in the process of economicdecline. Today they are one of the greatestof producers.A recent Friedman books, Capitalism andFreedom, is part of the reading for thecommon year course social science 112(freedom and order). Friedman was theguest of the social sciences 112 classes inQuantrell auditorium.THE MAROONVolume 78, Number 37 ~ ~— _______* University of Chicago_ - Friday, February 13, 1970IHC Proposes Plan for Dorm CoeducationTBE1TRR“Charles Sumner” Receives JusticeNOW PLAYING at The Kingston Mines Theater, until themiddle of March, is Robert Hivnor’s ambitiously con¬ceived pageant-play, The Assault Upon Charles Sumner.Although the script doesn’t match the conception in quali¬ty, the play, because of the combined effects of skillfulacting, directing, and set design, nonetheless comes offsuccessfully. Part of the script’s problem lies in the ex¬position of a mass of historical detail with which a generalaudience may not be familiar. Here, then, are some of themore salient data required for appreciation.The first century of this country’s existence saw to itseverlasting credit a procession of remarkable statesmen,but none more remarkable than Charles Sumner, senatorfrom Massachusetts from 1851 to his death in 1874. Anerudite scholar in jurisprudence, literature, and history,an orator whose eloquence and principled passion (he oncesaid, “The slave of principles, I call no party master”)virtually caused him to be drafted into politics (a careerthe thought of which, as a young man, filled him withloathing; he wanted to practice law), Sumner came to bethe chief protagonist in the fight to enfranchise and givecomplete political equality to slaves. In the events preced¬ing the Civil War, during that bitterly contested struggleover states’ rights vs. the rights of man (Marxist histo¬rians to the contrary), and in the Reconstruction periodthat followed, he distinguished himself as a man of abso¬lute integrity in thought and action. Lincoln referred tohim as “my idea of a bishop,” and considered him as theveritable embodiment of the conscience of the Americanpeople.The action of the play centers on the infamous deed ofRep. Preston S. Brooks (D-S.C.): his savage attack uponSumner, as he sat writing at his desk in the Senate cham¬ber, the result of which beating (by a cane) left Sumner bleeding and unconscious. This “assault” was provoked bySumner’s Senate speech, “The Crime Against Kansas,” inwhich he denounced the Kansas-Nebraska Bill as a fraudand a sell-out to Southern slaveholders (it provided for“popular sovereignty,” the notion that the legal status ofslavery be determined by popular vote of the settlerswhen applying for statehood). In his speech Sumner villi-fied Stephen A. Douglas and Andrew P. Butler, authors ofthe bill, calling them Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, inthat the sweet compromise which they courted and hon¬ored and which seemed so perfect to them, was in fact,“the harlot, Slavery.” Col. Brooks considered the speech alibel against his state and Mr. Butler, a relative of his,and resolved forthwith to give the senator from Massachu¬setts a taste of Southern Comfort.With the “assault” as the center, the playwright hastaken liberties with time and place. Part One (“The Pro¬logue”) takes place in Cleveland, in 1938, and features thefuneral of “the last slave,” one Gulla, by name (it isperhaps relevant to note that “Gullah” is a hybrid dialect,a mixture of West African words with English, and isspoken by the predominant black population of the SeaIslands, which lie off the coasts of S.C. and Ga.). PartTwo (“Gulla”) takes place on a Virginia plantation in thespring of 1860 (the year of Lincoln’s election to the Presi¬dency), and features the personal emancipation of theclever slave whose corpse and ghost we see in Part One,plus the shotgun marriage of a northern architect to asouthern belle, who is more homely than belle. This partends with a flashback to 1856, and the enactment of Con¬gressman Brooks’ perfidious “assault upon Charles Sum¬ner.” Part Three takes place “in the Protestant section ofPurgatory” — yes. Purgatory. There the assault is re¬enacted, and all the limbo souls make their exits andPOTPOURRISetting Up the Hyde Park CornerHAVE YOU HAD a discussion recently with a student forcapitalism and Freedom, an International Socialist, aWeatherman? Maybe you have decided that political meet¬ings induce nausea or ennui, so you spend most of thetime talking to your friends, who agree with you. As anew alternative, the Blue Gargoyle is setting up the HydePark Corner, where “people can talk to each other, not tothemselves.”The Gargoyle has hired Dave Hakken (a former anth¬ropology student here, now doing alternative service withthe Institute for Juvenile Research) to act as a liaison withUniversity students. Dave explained that the Gargoylewould like to be a true community center involving everysegment of the neighborhood, by providing a place whereany group hold a meeting, where individuals can contributetheir talents and where people with widely different back¬grounds and viewpoints can talk to one another.In this spirit the Hyde Park Corner will bring togetherevery Thursday night at 8:30 people knowledgeable in acertain area to participate in an informal discussion. The subjects for future Thursdays nights will be:Feb. 19: Changes in the draft laws and its effects ondraftees. Participants from the Resistance, organizerswithin the army and others.Feb. 26: Forum on Abortion by three women’s groups:Women’s Radical Action Project, Chicago Women’s Lib¬eration Union, and the women’s caucus of New Univer¬sity Conference (NUC).March 5: Young Political Groups. Participants from theYoung Lords, the Young Patriots, the high school BlackStudents Union (BSU) possibly the Black Panthers andthe Weatherman.Students should feel free according to the Gargoyle notonly to help coordinate these programs, but also to in¬troduce any other activities which interest them. Hak¬ken said “The Blue Gargoyle is the only free zone forstudents. It’s not a dorm and it’s not owned by theUniversity.” Poetry readings and guitar concerts, heldweekly, are open to anyone who would like to partici¬pate.THE RENAISSANCE SOCIETYat The University of ChicagopresentsMen and Ideas in Modern Art"Visits with European Artists, 1969-70" Jimmy's and theUniversity RoomJOHN REWALDAuthor, Prof., Dept, of Art, University of Chicago DRINK SCHLITZ8:00 p.m., Monday, February 16thBreasted Hall, Oriental Institute FIFTY-FIFTH & WOODLAWN$4 members; $5 nonmembers, $2 students (UC ID)STATION JBD HAS MOVEDFROM 1435 E.

Naturally, Sumner is the likeliest candidate for can¬onization. The play ends on a curously ambiguous note(which I shall not reveal here) which makes us wonderabout Sumner’s status in the continuing drama of our his¬tory, even though it is quite clear that he was an indepen¬dent thinker and radical politician of the highest order.The director of this play, June Pyskacek, has seen fit tocut the unwieldy script by about a third. As it is it takessome two and a half hours to perform. It begins slowlyand confusedly, but gathers momentum, so that the finalpart (the longest) in Purgatory is fine and lively. Consid¬ered as a whole, the thing is not quite crisp and shapelyenough to stand alone, but requires the buttressing offirm, pointed histrionics in the actors for support (howrestraining is this metaphor!). But prospective spectatorscan rest their fears: the entire cast performs with flairand sublety. Particularly fine are Allan Carlsen (Sumner),Charles Bailey (Col. Ames), Gary Houston (the igno¬minious Col. Brooks), and Warren Casey (Petroleum Vet-ruvius Nasby, P.M.), who plays a red-nosed drunk in thelilting tones of W. C. Fields.The theater was built a century ago to serve as anarmory (later to become a trolley-stable barn). The com¬pany has converted it into a grand cavernous arena, andwith the beautiful efforts of the production crew mani¬fested all around you, it’s a trip just to be there.The American theater is reviving our history (e g., PaulFoster’s Tom Paine, the 1776 musical, Macbird!).

Sun-TimesStudents $2.00 with '.O. Cord•very day but SaturdaySVNA: Could It Be More ThanSVNA KAZOO: The world's biggest kazoo at a football game.By Sarah Glazer“We don’t consider anything serious, butwe do consider everything important.” Sospoke Steve Landsman, one of 27 shadowFrank Malbranche’s, in explaining the phi¬losophy of students for nonviolent action(SVNA). SVNA, perhaps the most activegroup on campus this year, came to theattention of the University through a suc¬cession of dramatic demonstrations, in¬cluding the Halloween Pike for Peace, theMen’s Liberation Rally, the Sit-in MemorialRally, and most recently, a pro-pollutiondemonstration by grateful Americans sup¬porting pollution (GASP).Students have been amused, confusedand finally angered by SVNA. Was SVNAsatirizing the people who sat-in or the ad¬ministration? Students on the left have at¬tacked SVNA for being reactionary. AsFrank Malbranche put it, ‘‘The Yippiesweren’t sure whether we vyere freaks orfascists.”In a recent interview, Steve Landsmanand other SVNA members tried to clarifytheir position. ‘‘SVNA, in its capacity as thepeople, is not just satirizing. Our purpose isto put everyone on edge ... We may betaken too much as a joke. If people justthink we’re a spoof, then that’s bad —that’s an excuse not to take what we sayseriously and not to do anything about it... We support the underdog. Agnew isprobably one of our strongest allies. Howcan anyone satirize the government anymore than he does?”“The left is down on us, because theythink we’re down on them. The fact iswe’re not. SDS has done some good things,but the left on this campus take themselvestoo seriously and they’re becoming whatthey're trying to fight. The left is much toostructured. The enemy is not capitalism orimperialism, it’s structure. We’re againststructure — any kind. Basically we’re an¬archistic. The Left sees itself in a leadingrole, telling everyone what they should do.SVNA does it.”Does SVNA believe in the revolution?“Nothing good has ever come out of a revo¬lution, except maybe a record player.We’re for ignoring the present governmentand letting it wither away from atrophy,which is what it’s doing. Of course it’s sortof hard to ignore the war, it’s sort of hard to ignore the draft, it’s sort of hard to ig¬nore it when someone breaks down yourdoor and starts shooting. But when you ripsomething down, you have to set up some¬thing in its place, and we see a basic para¬dox in fighting entropy. We don’t see anypoint in fighting it.”Speaking of SVNA’s one minute sit-in,several members protested, “It’s ridiculousfor people to call us counter-revolutionary— we weren’t attacking last year’s sit-in;most of us were in it. Some of us ran it.Things like that should be done more of¬ten.” Landsman added, “We disagree forthe most part with the issues involved.We’re primarily tacticians, so we aggreewith the tactics. Sit-ins are great fun ...We were hoping for a two month sit-in, notthat there would necessarily be one, but theadministration would think so. The Univer¬sity is always telling us that the power isnot consolidated, so we thought we’d dothem a favor and show the students thatthere was no power.”About the administration, SVNA hasmany complaints. Landsman said, “TheUniversity doesn’t care about its students,so we’re going to show that we don’t careabout them.” Landsman recalled the timewhen SVNA held their dance in Mandel hallcorridor to avoid the “incredible red tape.”“We’re going to seize a building and hold adance, so we can do things without hassle.”An important part of SVNA’s philosophy is that people can do anything they want, aslong as they don’t accept the illusion im¬posed on them by others. “People cancreate their own illusion. Look at Wood-stock: 100,000 people smoking pot.” In thisspirit Frank Malbranche is seriously pro¬posing that 300 people smoke pot openly onthe quads. He would like to hear studentresponse to that idea.About the organization itself Frank said,“We’re a very loving outfit. Anybody canjoin, faculty or student. In fact, peopledon’t even have to come to our meetings tobe part of SVNA. Just do something andThe New Democratic Coalition (NDC)will hold a work-conference in Chicagostarting today and lasting through Sunday.Representatives from state and local orga¬nizations in 35 states will meet at theSheraton-Chicago hotel to discuss “direc¬tions for the ’70’s” and the role of the coali¬tion in the upcoming elections.Senator Harold Hughes (D-Iowa) willgive the keynote speech Friday at 8 pm, on“a political context for the ’70’s.”Other speakers will be Don Peterson,chairman of the Wisconsin delegation to theDemocratic convention in 1968, and PaulSchrade, director of the United Auto Work¬ers (UAW) for Region 6.Sunday at 11 am Michael Harrington,chairman of the American Socialist party,will speak on “the earth and the people: apolitics of survival.”This is the first national conference of theNDC since its formation in 1968 when sup¬porters of Eugene McCarthy, Robert Ken¬nedy, and George McGovern joined aftert h e convention. Conference chairmanMadge Miller said, “Our purpose is to gobeyond liberalism. We are an action ori¬ented organization dedicated to working —not just talking about it. At the Chicagoconference we will actually be laying downour plans for achieving our goals in 1970and beyond.”The conference is open, and registrationwill be at the Sheraton-Chicago.Additional participants in the conference A Farce?you’ll be a member, the SVNA spirit ismore important than the name. Ideallythere will eventually be a withering awayof the name.”When questioned about the real FrankMalbranche, members refused to reveal hisidentity fully, but they did give some bio¬graphical facts. Frank was born in NorthDakota near Mt Rushmore, for which hewas named. At present, he is being held inAlcatraz.The history of SVNA goes back to 1965when the Young Consumptives League wasfounded. The organization then evolved intothe Whitman Speck Ubermensch Society,the Young Octocrats, the Irish Republicanarmy-Zionist Coalition and finally emergedas SVNA in the middle of last year.SVNA members stressed that they arenot looking for publicity. “We just do whatneeds to be done. Frank himself has neverhad his picture in the paper.” They ex¬pressed surprise and some criticism of theMaroon for giving SVNA front page cov¬erage while barely covering SDS events.SVNA’s biggest success? “The snowstormof ”66, the election of Mr Nixon and thebookstore fire.” Their next long term proj¬ect, in addition to an “almost-free dance”tonight, is to create an inflationary situ¬ation by handing out as many summonsesas possible. Malbranche’s prediction for thefuture: “I promise that there will be peaceand equity somewhere in the world, some¬time within the next 1000 years.”are Julian Bond, Georgia state legislator;Bronz bourough president Herman Badillo;Sam Brown, moratorium organizer; HaroldGibbons, vice-president of the teamstersunion; Charles Palmer, president of theNational Student Association (NSA) andRep Don Fraser (D-Minn).Speakers DebateScience, MoralityMurray Gell-Mann, Kenneth Bouldingand Paul Goodman will lead a panel dis¬cussion on science and the morality of in¬tellect at 2 pm Saturday, February 14, inMandel hall.

Being the only living filmdirector to move with equal grace between the operahouse and the motion picture studio the term is not sur¬prising. In the Damned (the American distributors’ substi¬tution for Visconti’s title, Gotterdammenmg), the appli¬cation of the adjective becomes imperative. The Damned,in its subject matter, sets, colors, length, and style, wasconceived of as a Wagnerian opera.This is the story of the fall of the house of von Essen-beck, mythical steel barons in pre-Hitler Germany, andthe rise of the SS. The von Essenbecks are perverse, in¬cestuous, and power-hungry.

The Weekend was conceived as anopportunity to present the works of new, little-performedand avant-garde playwrights.In keeping with this conception, three shows will maketheir Chicago debut on Friday. The first, The Pelican byAugust Strindberg, is an anguished, powerful statementabout the condition of man’s existence. Inter-familial con¬flict provides a background for the explication of Strind¬berg’s philosophy of life and afterlife.The second play is an original adaptation of the war¬time stories of the German author Wolfgang Borchert.

Rkberd lertee, Peter O'TeeleHDD BECKETTMarch 6RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY March 7FOUR HORSEMEN OFTHE APOCALYPSE are cold-blooded, manipulative, and power-hungry. Intheir triumph we are to see the domination of intellectover emotion, a triumph of evil so complete that the char¬acter with the “best” values in the film finally breaks andjoins the SS. In visual terms, this conflict is the conflict offire (orange) and ice (blue).A few very simple examples. The opening credits ap¬pear over the bright orange flames of the von Essenbecksteel works. Our first cut into the mansion where a goodpart of the action takes place is to a blue glass (in close-up) on a white table cloth. The camera then pulls out toreveal the rest of the room and the warm colors thatsurround the blue. When Aschenbach and Friederich (whois later to assume the von Essenbeck name) first arrivethey are found driving in a car on a blue highway. WhenMartin von Essenbeck first discovers his sexual attractionfor a ten year old Jewish girl there is a small heater withan orange flame kept in every shot. The announcement ofthe arrival of the SS to eliminate the SA (the famous“Night of the Long Knives” sequence) is made by takingan unnamed extra from the room of the SA debacle (allreds and oranges) out onto the porch overlooking the wa¬ter (all ice blue) while we hear the coming motorcade.It is extremely important for Visconti to maintain thismonographic color scheme. In recent years Visconti hasbeen relying to a greater and greater extent on the zoomlens and in The Damned the zooms never stop. While thisconstant motion aids greatly the operatic nature of thework by constantly reminding the viewer of the scope ofthe whole, it is not condusive to the kind of visual analysiswhich lets us make judgments on the characters in accor¬dance with their position in the frame. By maintaining avery strict color scheme, Visconti has attempted to giveus an entFy into what is going on in the picture, a meansby which we may make some independent judgment uponthe characters’ actions.Unfortunately, this simply does not do all that itshould. Fire is usually more potent than ice, and in TheDamned, it is fire which ultimately triumphs. For all theirperversions, in fact because of all their perversions, thevon Essenbecks are interesting to us. Visconti had incred¬ible sensual control over his camera and we willingly en¬ter into their emotional entanglements. At the same timewhile we may perceive what Aschenbach is doing, we donot feel it. To have managed that would have required a “Perverse, incestuous, and power-hungry ”stable camera and lens counterposed to the sensual mov¬ing camera and lens.As a study of manipulation and tyranny, then, TheDammed fails. As Gotterdammenmg, an emotional purg¬ing by subjection to the death throes of a great house,Visconti’s film succeeds. Since it tries to do both we cannotcall The Damned the masterpiece Visconti has been mov¬ing towards since Sandra. But half a masterpiece isbetter than none, and The Damned (now at the CarnegieTheatre) is a more than welcome addition to the Chicagofilm scene which, in these past few weeks, is finallybeginning to look a bit healthy.T.

If one first becamereally interested in movies in 1966 or 67, one has beenaware of the development of nearly half Godard’s career(which more or less began in 1959 with Breathless) whileit was happening. Great artists rarely appear and burnthemselves out within a decade (although examples be¬come more frequent as one enters the 19th and 20th cen¬turies), but, if his latest film Sympathy for the Devil (for¬merly entitled One plus One) can be taken as evidence,Godard is one of these self-consuming geniuses. Alongwith Francois Truffaut and Claude Chabrol, Godard spentthe better part of ten years (1950-60) watching up to fivemovies a day and writing about them for Cahiers du Ci¬nema. His (and Truffaut’s and Chabrol’s) movie-based vi¬sion of the world may be a bad way to face reality, but itis not at all a bad way to get at truth. The references toother films in Godard’s own are dismissed by many asfrivolous in-jokes for the cognoscenti. Not so. Godard’sattitudes toward films reflect his attitudes toward people.So, for example, the reference to Minelli’s Some CameRunning in Godard’s Contempt is highly meaningful: bothfilms are about many of the same things (personal deci¬sion and direction) and the Frank Sinatra/Shirley Mc-Laine/Dean Martin relationship in Minnelli’s film informsthe Michel Piccoli/Brigitte Bardot/Jack Palance relation¬ship in Godard’s film. It seems, in retrospect, that despitethe high points of A Woman is a Woman (1961), Vivre saVie (1962), Contempt (1963), Band of Outsiders (1964),Masculine Feminine (1966) Made in USA (1967), La Chi-noise (1967) and Weekend (1968), Godard peaked in bothartistic expressiveness and emotional effectiveness in 1965with his two great masterpieces: Alphaville and Pierrot leFou. The former contains an essentially romantic state¬ment within an austere classical framework; the lattertakes a classical opposition (reflection versus action) andliterally explodes it into a stream of dazzlingly romanticimages.If I have talked up to now about Godard’s other films,excluding Sympathy for the Devil, it is not because I lackappreciation for Sympathy as a work of art, but because Ifind the other films immensely more interesting to talkabout. Those who found Breathless lacking in the tradi¬tional virtues of plot, pace, and characterization would be positively stunned by Sympathy for the Devil. The film(shot in England in 1968) shifts back and forth from aRolling Stones recording session, to scenes involving blackmilitants speaking in a junkyard, to a pronographic book¬store, and in the film’s two most extraordinary sequences)a lengthy interview with Anne Wiazemski in a forest, and,an hour later, her death and her final resting atop a cam¬era boom.One of the things which seems to infuriate many peopleabout Sympathy for the Devil is its visual intransigence.In most films, when the director wishes to change theimage on the screen he cuts to a completely new shot(which, of course, implies a new and different cameraposition). Most films have 600 to 800 shots, linked by cutsor dissolves. Hitchcock’s The Birds (which had rapid cut¬ting in many of the bird-attack scenes) has nearly 1400shots. And Sam Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch has about3300 (no, I didn’t count them while I was watching it; thefilm’s editor gave the figure in an interview). Anyway,Sympathy for the Devil has about 30 shots. Each Stonesstudie scene has one long-moving camera shot. Eachblack militants-in-the-junkyard scene consists of one shot.The Anne Wiazemski interview is done in one trackingshot. And so is the scene at the end. The bookstore scenehas three or four (with intercut titles in between).Obviously, one could easily find such a visual technique“boring.” The purpose of Godard’s organizing the film insuch a way is, formally at least, to “contain” each scenewithin a single shot. Sympathy for the Devil is constructedin blocks — each shot is a block, formally set off from theothers. Cutting from shot to shot within a scene (as Go¬dard does in Vivre sa Vie in several scenes) implies achanging point of view. When a director cuts from a long-shot to a close-up of a character he is, in effect, saying“Look, I want you to get closer to this person — I wantyou to empathize (not necessarily sympathize) with him.”That this rule does not always hold, however, is demon¬strated in Sympathy for the Devil: the only closeup in thefilm occurs when Godard zooms into a hippie in the book¬store (the customers “pay” for their pornographic maga¬zines by striking two hippies, who respond with a sloganlike “Peace in Vietnam”). Godard’s zoom here, far frommaking us empathize with the character, only reminds usthat we know absolutely nothing about him. This, ofcourse, is simply because Godard has told us nothingabout the character.As always, the artistic process is one of selection.Filming “Sympathy with the Devil” Mick Jagger of the Rolling StonesWhich brings us to the main point of this review: Sympa¬thy for the Devil is less about the crackup of modernsociety than it is about the crackup of Godard’s personalaesthetic universe. In Sympathy, Godard has chosen totake the part of a completely detached, objective observer(the single-take long shots are a visual correlative for thisattitude). Creation, as we see it in the Stones’ studio is adisorganized, incomprehensible process. The ideas whichthe black militants espouse are dangled incoherently inthe air for a few moments, fugitives from books and tapqrecorders.Next to the Wiazemski interview, the bookstore is themost complex and fascinating sequence. First, the storedoes not contain pornography exclusively. Playboy andPenthouse (and gamier variants) are on the shelves side-by-side with Popular Mechanics and Superman comics.The bookstore is a direct physical/visual metaphor for thehopeless, comic confusion of modern civilization (the book¬store owner’s reading from Mein Kampf throughout thesequence adds the requisite note of irrational, funny ter¬ror). If Godard’s camera seems to pan endlessly aroundthe bookstore, it is only because it is searching for bothsomething solid to fix upon and something coherent toexpress. An added note of complexity is added when wesee an old man helping a child select some (presumablyinnocent) books. Even admidst the trivia and trash of thebookstore, an ancient and noble process of education istaking place.Anne Wiazemski (of La Chinoise and Weekend) identi¬fies herself as “Eve Democracy” and a group of inter¬viewers film her and ask questions, as she walks (Go¬dard’s camera tracking back and forth) through a brightgreen forest. This sequence takes us out of both the dark¬ness of the recording studio and the rainy gloom of thejunkyard. There is in Godard something of Rousseau (bothHenri and Jean-Jacques). He sees nature as a perfect butimpossible escape from the city, where his characters areall doomed. In both Pierrot le Fou and Weekend, countryidylls form the last gasps of the characters. The EveDemocracy interview in Sympathy is strikingly similar tothe “Miss Nineteen” interview Jean-Pierre Leaud con¬ducts in Masculine Feminine. In both cases, rather sillyand empty-headed young women attempt to answer rathersilly and badly-formulated questions put to them by youngContinued on Page Seven11 * -mi MODULARCOMMENT SYSTEM •••FULL SIZE 11" TURNTABLEDUST COVER INCLUDED GARRARD AUTOMATICRECORD CHANGERSTEREO CARTRIDGEwith DIAMOND NEEDLEoOT cA * PRICE!AC CONVENIENCE OUTLETSTEREO INDICATORILLUMINATED SLIDE RULE DIALFIVE PRECISION CONTROLS(Treble, Bass, Balance,Loudness, Function) TAPE/AUXILIARY INPUTSAM/FM/FM STEREO TUNER/AMPLIFIERTUNING CONTROLSTEREO HEADPHONE JACKCOMPLETE5 PIECE SYSTEMA FANTASTIC VALUE!

The first is an original called The Festival Truckone acter by Alan Minskoff, and it is directed by ChrisTHE COURTIERS played to the waiting throng. Thepeople had pushed and squeezed in to see the King, butB.B., being King, had to wait a proper length of timebefore coming out. After ten minutes, He entered, sur¬rounded by the exaltant sounds of his six courtiers and bythe shouted, clapped adulations of his audience. TheQueen, Lucille, was there, and the King soon lost himselfin his love for the Queen. Despite 2000 prying audience-eyes, the King caressed His Queen incessantly. As hisfingers flew up and down her body, she sang the blues ofthe King.The King was not always king. He suffered much be¬fore being acclaimed by the people. The hard times havereflected themselves in the King’s music, and in his man¬ner. He may be King, but he knows that to be King, hemust have an audience. He is not a cruel king, for hismusic pleases his subjects. Even with the vast realm hecontrols, he fails to exact even half of the money tributeof some of his pretentious musical compatriots.The past and the pain heightened all the more theroyal splendor. The crowd, in response to the masterfulsounds, clapped and yelled whenever they felt the music: Lyon. The next is Strindberg’s The Pelican directed byRichard Kilburg and the last is Radi and The Bread fromshort stories by Wolfgang Borchert and directed by RobertHopkins. Its in Reynolds Club Theatre at 8:30.

Anyway their havinge Snake-skin and the Pit Vipers of Hippolytus and Hyde Park fame.It’s 50 cents and will fun from 9:45 to 2 am.their adulation knew no end-of-song bounds. The show wasnot unlike a High Mass, for B.B. King has played thesame notes and talked the same troubles for years. Every¬one knew that, but it was all right, for his music was on aplateau of such height as to defy going higher. The assem¬bled moved with the music. Even Mandel Hall seemed atits best; it combined the intimacy of a club with theacoustics of an auditorium. It was a fitting court for theKing.There is no use in describing one or two songs that heperformed in a particularly good fashion, THEY WEREALL GOOD. The recollections of his performance run in aunit. The excellence never ceased to flow off of the stage,for even when B.B. wasn’t on, you knew he was waiting atthe side. When he left his throne for intermission, theaudience put on a demonstration that you rarely see at theend of a show.No plaudits can do justice to Monday night’s perform¬ance, but long live the King! Long live the audience! Longlive B.B. King and his Queen Lucille.W. Z. Merbisc LiteratureGuess you didn’t know there is a student-run literarymagazine of campus.

We suspect that the dormitories are just as bleaktoday, but there have been recent indications that at least some¬one who runs things is aware of the situation and trying to improveit.Recent proposals for improving dormitory life include therecently announced house master plan, and coeducation of thedormitories. Also being considered is a revision of the board planfor dormitory residents. All these areas could stand improvement,and we have been pleased to see the proposed plans for change.The proposed house master system has come under severecriticism from dormitory residents, for two chief reasons. First,they feel that the money it will cost could better be used for morevital, direct improvement in facilities. We do not doubt that suchimprovements are needed — soundproofing of rooms, more singlerooms — perhaps even more than house masters are needed.It is incorrect to think, however, that if the house master plans arenot implemented, the money they would have cost will be used forsuch improvements. It could very well revert back to whateverfund it originated from. We do not condone the fact that it iseasier to finance a more glamorous plan to put faculty in thedormitories than it is to install soundproofing or better plumbing,but this is the case, and we think dormitory residents would beaware of it before they throw away the house master plan.The second chief objection to the house master plan is thatit is repugnantly paternalistic and disrespectful to students. Wefind it hard to see any justification in this kind of paranoia; wecan imagine no way in which the house master plan will forcestudents to do anything they don’t want to do. There are somestudents who object that putting a senior faculty member in thedormitory is an attempt to brainwash students, indoctrinate themto the evil ways of senior-facuitydom. Even if the house masterswere undertaking the job with this nefarious intention, we hardlythink that students here are so weakminded or childlike as toneed to be protected from certain doctrines.The best argument in favor of the house master plan is thehouse masters themselves. It always astounds us how the Universitymanages to continue making these strenuous demands from itsbest people, and getting their consent. The quality and suitabilityof the two men who will serve as house masters — Wayne Boothand Kenneth Northcott — almost tempts us to leave our roachybut lovable apartments and return to the dormitories. If theUniversity can continue to get men of their caliber to serve ashouse masters, then the program will be a success, and a greathelp to students.Another big improvement that appears ta be imminent iscoeducation in most University housing. Inter-house council hasproposed a system for implementing coeducation which, if notperfect, is at least a lot better than the present monastic set-up.We hope it will be implemented, and we would like to thank theinter-house council for the time and effort they have expended intrying to improve a system which everyone likes to complain about,but no one wants to work to improve.We hope that the discussions on revising present board planswill yield as good results. We suspect that one advantage to thehouse master plan is that once faculty are living in dormitories,the University will be more willing to entertain proposals for im¬proving dormitories. We think that reforms are moving faster nowthan they have in a long time. The day when dormitories are achoice place to live is still far away, but we seem to have mademore progress this year than in a long time. Marlene and DickIn your January 30 anniversary supple¬ment you have given us convincing proof ofthe wisdom of the faculty of the Universityand evidence, unavai’able hitherto in theMaroon, of the unwisdom of much of thestudent position a year ago. At the time ofthe 1969 sit-in, Mrs Dixon spoke rathermovingly about her discovery that the kindof sociology she had been hired to teachand write was not important to her and thatshe had begun searching for a way of con¬ducting research from a radical point ofview. She apologized for not being able topresent us with evidence of her new inter¬ests in sociological writing, but trusted thatshe would find this new direction. Now, ayear later, what are we presented? A with¬drawal from research and what sounds likea withdrawal from University teachingin favor of action and argument withempty dogmatisms, to “become, in effect,a full-time organizer for the move¬ment . .. increasingly radical sociology isMarxist, and increasingly (sic) demandsthat there can b2 no division between theo¬ry and practice. It is not possible to sit inthe university and talk learnedly about rev¬olution.” This sentence is in conflict withthe next: “The requirement is that onethink and study about revolution in orderthat one can go out into the world andmake one.” A person who cannot find plen¬ty to study about revolutions and the cir¬cumstances under which they work anddon’t work does not belong in the universityand are we not to congratulate those whohad the courage last year to make this de¬cision?In the interview with Richard Flacks avery different spirit is revealed; a read¬iness to consider different positions, tomake only provisional judgments, to see various sides even to the opposition to Gov¬ernor Reagan. You have given us evidencethat in Richard Flacks we can find a per¬son still committed to thinking and under¬standing the events of our times.The University did not re-appoint MrsDixon. The University gave Richard Flackstenure. The Maroon, a year later, has givenus the evidence by which to judge the twodecisions.Roger WeissAssociate Professor —Social Science DivisionMasters PlanAs students in Pierce Tower, we havewatched recent developments in the hous¬ing situation with concern. We believe thatthe following thoughts about the conditionof the housing here are shared by otherresidents of the tower.Life in the dorm is dismal. The food isneither palatable nor nutritious; the roomsare cramped, noisy, and have not beenpainted in several years. The Universitycharges exorbitant prices for these condi¬tions, and, it is rumored, the prices forroom and board will go up still higher nextyear.At the end of last year, we were informedby the administration that the size of theentering class would be significantly re¬duced. This, it was hoped, would alleviateone problem — the double room. Some newsingles were, in fact, created as a result ofthe decrease in class size, However, with*out our being consulted, the University de¬cided to increase the size of the residenthead’s apartment in both Thompson andShorey houses in order to attract facultyContinued on Page SixBULLETIN OF EVENTSFriday, February 13LECTURE: Robert Hill, Crotanase: structure-functionrelationships, Abbott Hall, room 101, 11:30 am.WORKSHOP: Economic history, John Coatsworth, SocSci 106, 3:30 pm.LECTURE: Leonard Warren, The Comparison and Meta¬bolism of the Surface Membrane of Animal CellsRicketts North, room 1, 4 pm.WRESTLING: Georgia Tech, sfrtlett, 7:30 pm.THEATRE: Angel Street, Bergman Gallery, 8:30 pm.UNIVERSITY THEATRE: Don Carlos.

He also served as a cor¬respondent for the old Chicago Sun in theearly 1940s, a columnist for the PittsburghCourier for twenty years and as a corre¬spondent for the Pittsburgh Courier to theUnited Nations.He co-authored “Black Metropolis” withSt. Clair Drake, which was winner of theAnisfield — Wolf Award in 1945 and whichwas also named by the New York Public Library as the outstanding race relationsbook of the year 1945.Garfield V Cox, 76, Robert Law professoremeritus in the graduate school of business,a faculty member of the school for 38 yearsand its dean for seven, died Monday after¬noon in Claremont, California, following abrief illness.Cox was appointed professor of finance in1930, and when the Robert Law profes¬sorship was established in 1936 he wasnamed to it.

I got myself togeth¬er to write a reasoned response outlining why grass shouldbe legal and why goofing on the stupidity of cops whomake an arrest for possession of prescription acne pillsisn’t exactly an in-depth coverage of the drug situation inAmerica.I even made an outline.I ripped up my outline after a short phone conversa¬tion. Three friends of mine had been arrested on a NorthSide street at five am. Two had been charged with posses¬sion of marijuana, the third with disorderly conduct.Possession and disorderly. Actually, they were ar¬rested for having long hair and for walking in a group.Had they been “properly attired” and “clean-cut,” or hadthey been in a youth ghetto like Old Town, Lincoln Park,or parts of Hyde Park, they could have walked down thestreet with shopping-bags full of killer dope and no copwould have ordered a stop-and-frisk. Because they havebeards and shoulder-length hair (or did the last time Isaw them), they were put up against the wall andsearched.The two “drug addicts” are at 26th & California as Iretype this paragraph. One has an additional countagainst him: being seventeen in public at five in themorning. The guy who got out had to put up $50 becausehe had walked down the street with two long-hairs, one ofwhom is seventeen years old.Back in the days when it seemed that America wasnot sick, heads used to snicker over the prospect thatRobert Kennedy would become President. Not because hewas against the war. Not because he got along with thepoor. Not because he was good-looking.The rumor was out, and, true or false, people clung toit as the confirmation of a whole set of secret hopes andwild fantasies. True or false, Robert Kennedy was a headin the hearts and minds of doper America.As America flips out, those in control have come downhard against anything or anyone visibly different to thepoint where most of the things most of us believe in areeither dissenting views or downright illegal. Most massa-crees take place at communes, an aspect of hip cultureopposed to the straight nuclear family and all the up¬tightness it implies. The cops invade hip people’s in thenight just as they invaded Fred Hampton’s in the night.The Silent Marority doesn’t like the Moratorium, thinksdraft-card burners are traitors, and is out for bloodwhen it comes to people who damage ROTC installationsor draft boards or chemical warfare centers becausethey hate ripping off the Third World. The JusticeDepartment is freaking because a court decision tempo¬rarily allows women who want control over their own bod¬ies to have abortions in Washington, D.C. without beingsubject to arrest. Any kind of sexual liberation activitycan rile Spiro’s Legions.It is illegal to get high in a down society.But...My doctor smokes grass. My dentist was turned on byone of his patients. I know back presidents and magazineeditors and movie producers and even a cop or two whosmoke grass. They don’t burn incense out of paranoia. They don’t run out in the cold to stash their baggies underthe stoop. They don’t hassle walking down the street witha joint in their boot.If Robert Kennedy had been walking down that streetat five am, the police would have given him escort. If awell-dressed black person had been walking down thatstreet, they would have taken an extra look. If a streetdude or a freak or some other “out” had come alongwhile my buddies were spread-eagled against the side of abuilding, they would have gotten a chance to empty theirpockets for the Man.The law has special wrath for anyone who challengesit. John Sinclair, head of the White Panther Party and theman most responsible for building the Detroit-Ann Arborarea as a center of community-oriented poetry, rock mu¬sic and youth politics, is serving a 9(4 to 10 year sentencein Marquette Prison because he gave an undercover agentand his wife two joints. 9(4 to 10 years for turning on twocops. He should have gotten a medal; instead he got aprison term.Larry Belcher, who used to do a dope-counselling col¬umn in the Detroit underground paper, was busted twoyears ago for a small quantity of grass. He is serving a20-year sentence! Twenty years for wanting to feel good.In Georgia, giving grass to your friend from the localhigh school can get you the death penalty!Manufacturing napalm, a chemical which has killedthousands of civilians, is a commended activity. Gettinghigh to drive the image of those napalmed people fromyour mind is a crime, even though there is no victim.A quick look around shows the nature of cultural re¬pression. In some communities, the cops will go after the few isolated longhairs. In areas with large freak popu¬lations, the tactic is to bust the dealers and to get thoseresponsible for keeping the community on its feet. Inareas where Spiroland and Yippieland are in open combat,the heat may rain down as a terror tactic. Sometimes itmay be a fifteen-year-old from Wheaton. Sometimes itmay be Jimi Hendrix or the Grateful Dead or the Jeffer¬son Airplane. Sometimes it may be Jerry Rubin or theJOIN office or members of the Black Panther Party.The situation in Illinois is polarizing rapidly. JudgeKennieth Wendt, a magistrate who showed little favor tonarcs with skimpy evidence and who had a sincere inter¬est in ending police terrorism, has moved from NarcoticsCourt to the Civic Center after receiving a letter from thechief judge of the circuit. The “reform bills” introducedlast year, which have a lower minimum sentence than thelegislation they replaced, allow judges to assign jail timewithout feeling overbearing. Forty-one people were bustedin Peoria to chill the radical community prior to a Nation¬al Security Seminar.The Hyde Park Pot Bust Massacree was an up be¬cause the cops emerged with a foul-smelling grin on theirfaces. But what if it had been grass instead of tetracy¬cline? But what should be done when the cops begin totake the Beatles’ advice and come in through the Bath¬room Window under the protection of the pending no¬knock law? But what if you get busted during the ‘periodof thorough investigation’ recommended in the Marooneditorial that accompanied the article.Sometimes it’s what you smoke. Sometimes it’s whoyou are. And sometimes it’s really a drag.Abe Pecknn ni miFriday the 13th, Yecchh!Continued from Page ThreeOwens and starring the Cafe La Mama Troupe can besummarized very easily: It’s about this guy who loves hispig and the neighbors can’t stand it.

Electric guitar and bass,the mainstays of the rock band, are not melodic in¬struments and most groups of today seem to considermelody as being relatively unimportant. Only a few per¬formers today are creating music with melodies that areunforgettable. One of these artists is Paul Simon. His new¬est record with Art Garfunkel, BRIDGE OVER TROU¬BLED WATERS, is a fine example of superior melodicwriting, although the basic defects of the Simon & Garfun¬kel sound are still evident.The album opens with the title song, a typical Simontune — catchy and thoughtful, with Garfunkel singinglead. The song starts quietly and builds to a crescendo inthe last verse when Simon joins Garfunkel and builds stillfarther when Garfunkel goes solo again. Probably the bestpart of Simon and Garfunkel’s music is represented here:the intensity of Garfunkel’s voice. He is strong and force¬ful, though not overly dramatic as are many other per¬formers. Unfortunately, he gets smothered by violins atthe end of this song. This is one of Simon and Garfunkel’sbiggest problems: they tend to over-produce their albumsand hide the true value of their voices.The second song, “El Condor Pasa” is translated fromthe original Spanish and is one of the best cuts on thealbum. The instrumentation of flutes backing the voices isquite effective; the flutes float along and give an easy airto the song, suggesting the outdoors and birds and wind —perfect for a song extolling nature. The third and fourthsongs, “Cecilia” and “Keep the Customeer Satisfied,” ex¬pose a new, unusual side to Simon and Garfunkel. Theyturn to a rock style with repeating lyrics and a heavy,rhythmic beat. At first the antithesis of their familiarvoices and the heavy beat comes as a shock, but theyhave enough talent to succeed even in rock. “Keep theCustomer Satisfied” is especially well done and shows howmelody and rock can be integrated.Side one ends with “So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright,” anattempt at a bossa nova type of song. It fails. It is prob¬ably the worst cut in the album: boring, and nothingCOMEDY, EVEN MORE THAN other types of movies, isvery much a case of chacun a son gout. What makes onelaugh is almost entirely a matter of personal taste. Somepeople whose opinions I respect liked Bob and Carol andTed and Alice, at which I had nary a laugh. I admit tobeing vastly amused by Woody Allen’s Take the Moneyand Run, which some of my critical colleagues hated.Most of us seem to agree, however, that the Americancomic film is in a rather dismaying decline. Directors ofthe thirties and forties like Howard Hawks, Leo McCarey,and Preston Sturges could provide both laughs and a pre¬cise visual style to express their themes. Gene Saks (Cac¬tus Flower), Paul Mazursky (B & C & T & A), and HyAverback (I Love You, Alice B. Toklas), are all at theaesthetic level of television, or worse. They lack both styleand a sense of what is truly witty. In America, only FrankTashlin and Jerry Lewis have done consistently good com¬ic film work in the sixties. We have had to look to Eng¬land, with Clive Donner (What’s New, Pussycat?), JoeMcGrath (The Bliss of Mrs. Blossom), and transplantedAmericans Stanley Donen (Bedazzled) and Richard Lester'Help!) to find genuinely good comedies in the past dec¬ade.The occasion for these rather apocalyptic remarks isRobert Downey’s new film, Putney Swope, which has justopened at the Three Penny Cinema, 2424 North Lincoln.Downey’s earlier films (Chafed Elbows, No More Excus¬es) have their admirers, and Putney.Swope has been re¬warded with great box-office (in New York, at least).Some of Putney Swope (in which the master joke is blackman Swope taking over a New York ad agency) is prettyfunny, but Downey’s lack of any sort of style and timingultimately makes the film tedious and worthless. Downeyhas no sense whatsoever of how to put a scent together —visually or comically. As a result, most of the film’s se¬quences build up only to trail off into unfunny anticli¬maxes (as in the scene in which Putney addresses his Bridge Over Troubled Watermore. The tune is ordinary and there is so little feeling inthe words that no even Garfunkel can intensify them.Side two opens with “The Boxer,” Simon and Garflin¬kers single from last year. Though the melody is not oneof Simon’s best, the harmony that Garfunkel provides isas good as the job he did on PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSE¬MARY AND THYME: best cut, “Scarborough Fair-Can¬ticle.” And the “la-la-las,” a speciality of Simon and Gar¬funkel, are at their best at the end of the song. The flipside of the single, “Baby Driver,” follows “The Boxer” onthe album and is another rock-type song. It is not as goodas the two rock songs on the first side, for it is too repe¬titious and too long to hold interest. Besides, it seems tobe a satire containing some of the stock sounds of thefifties: deep bass voice singing “ba-ba-ba- and generalprogression chords that are reminiscent of Neil Sedaka.Satire does not usually make good music and “Baby Driv¬er” is evidence of this.The next two songs, “The Only Living Boy in NewYork” and “Why Don’t You Write Me” are slow and fastin that order, and succeed and don’t in that order again.They are perfect examples of why one Simon and Garfun¬kel song can be good and another bad. “The Only LivingBoy —” is soft and pretty. It is Simon and Garfunkel intheir quiet, yet dramatic mood. “Why Don’t You WriteMe” is raunchy and ugly. It too is a satire of the fiftiescomplete with saxophone and Drifters-type harmony. Atthe end Simon is screaming and his voice is just not thescreaming kind. A live performance of an old EverleyBrothers tune, “Bye Bye Love” follows these two songs.The Everley Brothers did it better. And the applause is soloud that you can’t hear Simon and Garfunkel. It is amystery to me why they put this on the record. Maybethey liked the sound of the applause so much that theyhad to share it with us. The album ends with “Song forthe Asking” another quiet, dull tune.Was this album worth waiting almost two years for? Isemployees from the balcony of an office building). Thecutting is without rhyme or reason, and the camera isusually in the wrong place. Thus, much of the movie fallsvery flat, with the characters wandering incessantlyaround the frame (for no reason) and shouting as loudlyas possible (again, for no discernable reason). Finally,Downey is completely unable to use physical objects asprops for gags, despite several splendid opportunities inthis film.Putney Swope has been praised in some quarters for itsdaring and irreverence, but this, of course, is its mostsuperficial aspect. A “bit” here, a “bit” there, and a fewbare breasts are hardly enough to make a movie as tameas Putney Swope any sort of cinematic shocker. A moreostensivly “commercial” movie like Otto Preminger’s for¬gotten masterpiece Skidoo is far more subversive andanti-Establishment than Putney Swope could ever hope tobe, simply because Preminger is able to express himselfcoherently and formally. Downey reveals himself in¬capable of competently handling so simple a matter as afairly conventional hetrosexual bed scene. It is true thatPutney Swope’s principal virtue is its unpious attitude to¬ward its black characters, but a movie can go only so faron a negative virtue. I will say, however, that the film’sopening sequence is quite funny, and Arnold Johnson’sperformance as Putney is sly and accomplished; h& man¬ages to suggest quite a bit about his character that is farbeyond Robert Downey’s powers of expression.If you find yourself trapped in the same room withPutney Swope, you might as well sit through it, but Isuspect many years from now, when Putney Swope (andEasy Rider and Medium Cool and Z) are long forgotten,people will still be looking at some of the truly funnyfilms, and, perhaps, regretting that so much money andopportunity was wasted on no-talents like Robert Downey.Charles Flynn Fairport Conventionit a worthy successor to BOOKENDS? Unfortunately,BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS is only half of agood album. A major complaint is that it is a collection ofsingles and not a unified work. Simon and Garfunkel’sprevious albums, especially BOOKENDS and PARSLEYSAGE were well-thought out works of art. They put youinto a mood and kept you there. I also had thought thatSimon and Garfunkel had enough artistic integrity to putout more than a collection of singles, especially as this istheir only significant work in such a long time.UNHALFBRICKING by Fairport Convention (A & M* SP4206):“Sandy Denny is only the greatest thing to come alongsince Mama Cass, Judy Collins, Dusty Springfield, JoniMitchell and Julie Driscoll all rolled into one,” said oneprominent reviewer in discussing the first Fairport Con¬vention album. Since then, Sandy Denny has improved, ifthat is possible. This record is the finest folk material tocome out of England today. Pentangle, the other greatEnglish folk group, seems pale in comparison with Fair-port Convention, not only because Fairport’s electricityproves to be superior to Pentanble’s acoustic sound, butalso because Sandy Denny is clearly superior to Pen-tangle’s Jackie McShee. While Jackie is the female mem¬ber of a male group, Sandy is the leader of men, perhapsthe first female singer to break out of the male chauvinis¬tic trend of girls in groups, even female lead singers, whofade into the woodwork. While this may not seem to be tooimportant to their music at first thought, there is a corre¬lation between Sandy’s dominance in this group and itswhole sound. Fairport Convention fortifies Sandy insteadof competing with her; they provide her with great back¬up and harmony. She seems to be treated similarly to theway Grace Slick is in Jefferson Airplane. Yet Sandy alsoseems to infuse the group with a feminine, soft feelingthat the Airplane lacks. Grace is a hard woman; Sandy isstrong, but gentle.Sandy’s nature is reflected in Fairport Convention’schoice of material. Some of the songs are original works.The best of these is “Who Knows Where the Time Goes,”the title tune from Judy Collins’ latest album and SandyDenny’s masterpiece. This song reflects the feminineangle of time as something passed rather than somethingspent. Sandy’s voice on this cut is soft and beautiful. Sheis seductive, but sweet. Sandy’s other composition, “Au¬topsy,” is not as good as “Who Knows ...” but it tooreflects a feminine view of things, a view that is veryrarely expressed in song. The only failure on the record isa long traditional tune, “Sailor’s Life.” This song mighthave succeeded if it was shorter but at 11:10 it drags forat least 6:00.Sandy has chosen three relatively unknown Bob Dylantunes to include on the record, “Si Tu Dois Parti,” “Mil¬lion Dollar Bash” and “Percy’s Song.” “Million DollarBash” is catchy, a quality that Dylan has avoided forquite some time. Sandy does not sing lead all the time onthis song and it suffers for it. The song picks up whenevershe comes in. But the instrumentation here is quite goodand the harmony on the choruses is a beautiful thing.Fairport Convention has the same key to great harmonythat the Mamas and the Papas had. They blend so wellthat sometimes the different tunes are not even recogniz¬able, though they are always there. “Percy’s Song” is thebest thing on the album. It is perfect. It begins with anacapella harmony that is incredibly well-done and as theguitar comes in, it backs up this harmonic intertwining ofSandy and two other voices. The song has strong gospelovertones with an impressive question and reply structure.The instrumentation on this song is underplayed perfectly.It is so quiet that at times it seems to have stopped, butactually it has blended in so well with the voices that itseems to be another voice.This record, unfortunately, will probably be the last wehear of Fairport Convention, because they have brokenup. Sandy Denny needed more room to grow. I hope shecan find success on her own, for if she can’t, she will haveleft a great group behind her, and unfortunately, only tworecords.The Great PumpkinFebruary 13, 1970/Grey City Journal/5nmChacun a son gout...LETTERS TO THE EDITORS OF THE MAROONContinued from Page Fourmembers for the post of resident head. Thisdecreased the number of rooms in eachhouse by three, and thus decreased thenumber of new singles in each house by six.The reason for the attempt to attract fac¬ulty members, we were told, was to im¬prove student life by creating closerstudent-faculty relationships. Although stu¬dents were not solicited for advice as toways of improving dormitory life, the stifdents that we have spoken to, on the whole,would prefer a single room to a facultymember in residence. One almost has thefeeling that the whole idea of this costlyattempt to attract faculty members was de¬rived from John Moscow's report of lastyear. In this report, Moscow claimed thatfaculty members would make sure that stu¬dents would grow up to be the right kind ofintellectuals. His idea is as abhorrent as itis paternalistic.The administration also ignored studentopinion in building the ice skating rink ad¬jacent to Pierce Tower on north field. Cer¬tainly, the Pierce Tower council requestedthe $5,000 rink. On the other hand, the coun¬cil also requested a subsidy for the PierceTower snack bar. Despite this request foraid. the Snack Bar was closed down due toan $800 debt. Students, if consulted, wouldprobably have chosen the snack bar insteadof the rink. However, as in the case of theresident head’s apartment, student opinionwas not consulted. At least the snack barwas a relief from the cafeteria meals andserved items that no vending machine cansupply.Indeed, it seems as if the adminis¬tration’s policy is to build the type of visual“improvements” which would attract thecasual observer while the worst problemsare, at the same time, glossed over. Only inthe case of co-ed housing did the adminis¬tration solicit student opinion. Even here,the improvement is a highly visual one, andmay be initiated despite the fact that onlyone-third of the men, and even fewer of thewomen, expressed a willingness to move inorder to achieve a co-ed dorm.Finally, the administration has an¬nounced plans to build a house for a Pierce Tower “Master”, costing $60,000, as well asto create new faculty apartments for theother two Houses of Pierce. A similar planwill be instituted at Woodward Court.Again, students were not consulted. Andagain, it seems as if a clear majority ofstudents would rather suffer no housing billincrease and receive food, acoustic, andvarious other improvements (such as show¬ers that work and give hot water at alltimes) than have the “joy” of a Master.We would suggest that the present plansbe dropped and that instead improvementsbe made where they are needed the most:in the living conditions at Pierce Tower andother dorms on campus.Michael Susin, '72Henry Mayer, '72Cordie Coordes, '72Don Powell, '72Bryce Pointer, '71Maroon DefendedIn defense of the Maroon and in rebuttalto those who have criticized your recenteditorial on the harmless, apolitical natureof much current interest in environmentalissues, I would like to point to two recentpublic statements.Last Friday on the NET news show“Washington Week,” Peter Lisagor, impec¬cably respectable Daily News Washingtonbureau chief said essentially the samething (after criticizing Nixon’s midwest pol¬lution safari as a partisan political trip).Second, Paul Ehrlich said precisely whatthe Maroon said, during his appearancelast Monday on the “Tonight” show.

MrVice was sympathetic but when we toldhim it seemed the chicks would need cashbail money soon (which they did not haveon them) he said that neither he nor theUniversity had any bail-bond fund (a mythshattered?) and that he personally couldnot help us financially. In addition, he knewabsolutely nothing of the booking proce¬dures the girls would undergo. We calledUniversity security. Not only was the guywe talked to totally unsympathetic (thoughhe wanted to get the girls’ addressstraight), but he had almost as little infor¬mation about where to go, who to see, how-much bread to bring, about travellerschecks etc.We don’t know if it is the responsibility ofDean Vice (maybe we should have calledDean O’Connell) or the University police, toaid students faced with bull-shit charges ona narcotics rap. We don’t know if DeanVice should know anything about the Chi¬cago pig procedure (though surely he’s hadplenty of experience with it). I suppose theUniversity police should know what’s goingon. But when a student calls telling themthree students with a clean apartment arebeing hassled down-town in Chicago isn’t itat least somewhat incumbent on them tooffer more help. We knew about how muchbread the chicks would need but did DeanVice have to tell us we’d have to rely on myfriends (at 11 pm) to get it? Perhaps it’snot a big deal but we could have dug aUniversity cop offering to take us down to11th and State to see what the hell was go¬ing on and find out exactly what the chickswere being charged with.

Lest we should go mad with the strain, Frummoxhas some on the scene. In the midst of urban sprawl, thismodest twosome plus friends makes a mountain (and avalley) of a loudspeaker.Steve Frumholz (etymological source for Frummox??)and Charles Slater have combined to create a masterpieceof Neo-American sentimentalism. They sing, strum andlyricise with well-practiced honesty. The best comes onthe second side of the disk, with “Texas Trilogy.” A groupof three songs remembers the Texas Panhandle of thepast. “Lovin’ Mind” is capable of filling in the deepestdepression. On side one, the opener, “Man With the BigHat” is skilled sentimentality, but there’s no sap, justsong. “Kansas Legend” cries of strong farmers who tran¬scend the misery of their land and their lives. “Song forSteven Stills” is probably one of the finest tributes thatany performer could receive from his peers.This album isn’t roots; there is much urban Americanpolish in the lyrics, and more than a little wattage isconsumed to get some sound. The recordings have none ofthat basement jam session honesty. If you are a purist,then you may reject Frummox. But reject “From Here toThere” on those grounds and you lost a good piece ofmusic. Don’t banish an album that can in a few minutespull your mind out of Hyde Park to a spot some 60 mileswest of Denver.Superstar, A Rock Opera Decca LN-885:The old symbol, the old values are being kicked anew.The Gods of Commerce, of Sales and of Mass Con¬sumption are sporting a new pair of boots. And now,through the courtesy of Decca Records, those green-blood¬ed gods are doing in (for the second time in 2000 years)our old Sunday friend, Jesus Christ. It is difficult for me"to react in anything other than horror to Our Savior’streatment in Superstar, the title song of a new rick-operaand a preview (45 rpm) of sordid things to come in thealbum release.Superstar opens with all of the pompous, french-horned,typanied flavor of The Greatest Story Ever Told (Well?)The Italian epic style dissolves with a crash into the clear,morning-gargle tone of Murray Head (lord, that is hisname). Murray, as you may know, and may not care, is the star of the London production of Hair. He whamsthrough some top-100 theology (a hack writer in search ofsalvation). THEN they wheel out the all-female MemphisChorus line, singing “Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ ... Whoare you, what have you sacrificed?”. I almost expect anoverdubbed, overwrought voice to scream back, “Dignity,you poor bastard!”The intelligent listening audience shudders in the wakeof the 45 and cowers before the imminent album, a mile¬stone in commercial success. Already, the chief protagon¬ist of the “good sales means a good product” school, Bill¬board Magazine, lists Superstar as on the verge of the Top100, after only a few weeks. There may be an outcryagainst this latest cultural cooptation. But then again, nottoo many people reacted to the inane treatment of youthculture characteristic of Hair. I am no one to scowl at agood fun-poking satire, but Superstar is not a joke; it is atravesty. The only good thing I can say is that it has agood beat, and it’s easy to “Hail Mary” to..W Z.

The difference is that in Masculine Feminine weknew more about the interviewer (Leaud, who is the cen¬tral character). Godard used Miss Nineteen as an ex¬ample of the callousness and lack of feeling Leaud encoun¬tered in his life. The focus is on the suffering of the cen¬tral character. In Sympathy, we know more about theinterview subject (Wiazemski/Eve), and all we know, evenat the end of the interview, is that we know nothing abouther. Godard’s camera moves in this sequence in a furiousattempt to pin down Eve/Anne (his wife). But he can’t.She, like everyone else, is ultimately and totallly unknow-able. As at the end of Pierrot (in which we hear linesfrom Rimbaud’s poem “Eternity” as we see a shot of theblue Mediterranean and the blue sky), image and lan¬guage find a perfect synthesis in the Eve Democracy in¬terview. Neither the camera nor the character herself cancommunicate anything beyond frustration.It should be clear, first, that Sympathy for the Devil isclearly in the line of development of Godard’s latest films,Two or Three Things I Know About Her, La Chinoise, andWeekend, (I haven’t seen Le Gai Savior). One finds in all these films an increasing intransigence, a growing concernwith block-like structure, fewer and fewer concessions toaudience expectations, longer and longer held shots. IfGodard has drawn back from his characters, he has hard¬ly embraced politics as a substitute. Sympathy for theDevil is far too fragmented and esoteric to function as anysort of effective political statement. The Revolution willhave to materialize without the assistance of Jean-LucGodard. Sympathy for the Devil’s visual precision (to thepoint where it becomes obsessive) matches its politicalneurosis. It also demonstrates that Godard will always bean unregenerate and total filmmaker, even though he maynot realize himself what he’s good at. He is simply toomuch of an artist to make effective sociopolitical tracts,hard as he may try. An infinitely less talented directorlike Costa-Gavras can make an infinitely more powerful“political” movie like Z precisely because he is willingand (consciously) able to modulate and modify his artistryto his political ends. Sympathy for the Devil exists as apurely formal construction. It is as exciting a work of artas it is a total dead-end.Charles Flynn grey grey grey. T. S.
