Twenty-fellows will enter the in¬stitute each year for the nextthree years.Under the general title“Technology and theHumanities,” focus will beon ‘‘Culture andTechnology” in the firstyear. ‘‘Modernization as aHumanistic Problem” in thesecond and “Technology andthe Individual” in the third.“Our program will permitthe humanists to studysubjects that they have notbeen ^ble to examine whollyup until now,” Mr. Harrissaid “The fellows will study,among other things, bureaucracy, myth, massmedia, advertising, andtheir implications forhumanities.”The program, says Harris,is about the content ratherthan the methods ofteaching. Fellows will in¬corporate interdisciplinarymethods into their research,drawing upon the Universityfaculty whenever necessary.While they are here, thefellows will be encouraged tomake themselves availableto other universities andcolleges in the area forconsultation, seminars andlectures.In addition, they will useseveral local agencies fortheir research. Discussionsare already underway withthe Museum of Science andIndustry for the possibility ofmutual benefit from theprogram.The first program of thistype funded by the NationalEndowment for theHumanities is scheduled tobegin this fall at YaleUniversity. Maynard Mack.Sterling Professor of Englishat Yale is the program'sdirector. Participants in¬clude Daniel Aaron.Professor of English atHarvard, and David Hun¬tington, Professor of ArtHistory at the University ofMichigan. By Barbara F. LernerThe Maroon had beenpreparing a series of articleson crime in Hyde Park,focusing specifically onindividual responses to at¬tacks and to the com¬munity's attitudes aboutcrime. Before the first ar¬ticle of the series was readyBy David BlumThe Center for the Study ofDemocratic Institutions,moving to Chicago from itsCalifornia home, has beentold by acting PresidentJohn T. Wilson that there is“no way in which theUniversity could be helpfulto the Center.”In a May 13 memorandumto the Academic Deans at theUniversity, Mr. Wilson madeclear that no unrestrictedfunds from the University’sbudget would be used toassist the centerIn addition, Mr. Wilsonasked that the University be“fully reimbursed, includingthe cost of fringe benefits.”in cases where therecruitment of replacementfaculty is required by facultyparticipation in the Center.The Center, a researchinstitution founded byformer University PresidentRobert Maynard Hutchins,plans to use 50 part-timefellows from the Chicagointellectual community aspart of the Center programThe logistics of compensationfor participants have not yetbeen determined.Norton Ginsburg.Professor of Geography andan Associate of the Center,said that Mr. Hutchins neversuggested that theUniversity make anyfinancial contributions to theCenter“The Center didn't have toask for money," Mr.Ginsburg said, “and theynever planned to befinancially dependent uponthe University.”“The memorandum was toset a condition that peoplecould be guided by,” Mr.Wilson said yesterday.Saying that he knows nothingabout the Center’s plans inChicago, Mr. Wilson wrotethe memo only as aforewarning“It’s my job to predictthese problems before theyhappen,” Mr. Wilson said.“I’m always expecting for publication, Chicagomagazine published twoarticles on Hyde Parkproblems. These articleshave drawn reams ofcomment from HydeParkers; as a result, wehave decided to begin theseries with a survey ofresponse to the Chicagoarticles.people to ask for money.”Several faculty membershave expressed an interest inworking with the Center, andMr. Ginsburg believes thatthe time commitment wouldbe no more than needed toprepare a lecture for anotherinstitution.The opinion of mostfaculty, however, is that Mr.Wilson's memo is just areiteration of existingUniversity policy. NorvalMorris, newly appointedDean of the Law School, saidthat a policy ofreimbursement for outsideresearch that requiresreplacement faculty hasalways been in effect. Hesaid there should be “nocontention” of the issueThis view was shared byAlbert Crewe. Dean of thePhysical Sciences DivisionMr. Crewe distingushed theCenter, which he sees as aseparate entity from theUniversity, from research atthe Argonne Laboratories, aUniversity - related in¬stitution.Mr Crewe said he did notsee the memorandum as anintrusion on the Center, andbelieved that Mr Wilsondoes not intend to prevent The issues of crime andracism have always beenraw nerves in Hyde Park,but recent articles in theJuly issue of Chicagomagazine have focusedcity wide attention oncommunity attitudes in theseareas.The lead article by Terry-people from working at theCenterMr Ginsburg contends,however, that the entireconcept of the “proper” roleof a University faculty-member is under question inthis issue. The Center, hesays, is an institution wherefaculty can have the uniqueexperience of an intellectualforum on major socialtopics.Mr. Ginsburg believes thatthe Center for the Study ofDemocratic Institutionswould fill the void discussedin the report of theCommittee on theConsequences of Research.Its conclusion read, inpart. “The University is theone institution in our societythat has a responsibility tolook dispassionately at thelong-term problems ofman's world and hischanging role in this worldit would be fitting (to createat forum to examine therelationship of research andthe society it serves.”One faculty member, whoasked not to be identified,felt that Wilson’sCDS TO 5 Curtis Fox. entitled “HowHyde Park Made Me ARacist.” is illustrated by alurid cover photo showing awhite male sweating interror at the thought of thetwo blacks who follow him onthe street The articlestrongly condemns HydePark for its hypocriticallyliberal attitudes, and theauthor states that Hyde Parkwas directly responsible forhis becoming a racist.Mr Fox was a student inthe University, in the class of1970. He worked for Playboyas an editor of Oui untilearlier this year. Accordingto the Reader, for whom Mr.Fox has been a regularcontributor, he has made apermanent move away fromChicago to New York City.He left earlier this week.The article was illustratedby photographs taken byJoel Snyder. Lecturer in theCollege and a resident ofHyde Park Mr Snyder,when contacted for com¬ment. emphatically rejectedMr Fox’s view of HydePark, and said that if thetenor of the article had beenexplained to him. he wouldnot have taken thephotographs.

Acting President John Wilson has anticipated the moves offormer University President Robert Maynard Hutchins(left), whose moving of the Center for the Study ofDemocratic Institutions back to Chicago appears to havecreated tensions in the University community.Last Sunday evening, a car leaving the traffic circle in frontof the Baskin Robbins store in Harper Court went intoreverse instead of into forward. The car careened backwards, sideswiping a Volkswagon parked in front of the icecream store. Accelerating, the car mounted the curve, wentthrough the chain link fence surrounding the sunken cour¬tyard, and swerved into the window of the Book Center. Noone was hurt in the incident, which was described by one onlooker as “being so incredible that I thought it was beingfilmed for a movie." The Book Center also has maintained itssense of humor in the face of automobile adversity.Meeting, Exploring, and Honoring the Rockefeller CarillonBy. Paul M. MillerThe Rockefeller Chapelsummer carillon recitalseries continued last Sundaywith a 4 p.m. concert. Theoccasion was special forcasual listeners as it markedthe visit of Janet Dundore,Carilloneur of St. ThomasChurch in Whitemarsh.Pennsylvania, to theUniversity campus. But itwas also an extraordinaryexperience for a small groupof persons who gathered inthe tower of RockefellerChapel to see the Carillonbeing played, learn moreabout it and other carillons,and to have a reception anddinner.The Carillon, which isnamed for Laura SpellmanRockefeller, was a gift to theUniversity by John D.Rockefeller, Jr., as amemorial to his mother anddedicated in 1932. It com¬prises 72 bells which hang intwo belfries in theRockefeller Chapel tower.The clavier room, fromwhich it is played, containsthe batons and pedals,arranged like a keyboard,which are used to move theclappers and strike the bells.The ascent to the belltower, in which the dinnerwas held, is a long, but very interesting one. A counter¬clockwise spiral staircasecarries one from the groundup to the roof level, where acatwalk which lies betweenthe mammoth curvingsanctuary ceiling and theChapel roof leads to yetanother spiral staircase, thisone winding the opposite way(a stroke of near genius onthe part of the architect),which leads, in turn, to theclavier room and,ultimately, to the roof andobservation level. Along thisfinal staircase one passes thebelfries which contain thebells.The first belfry containsthe fourteen heaviest bells,one of which, the BreatBourdon, is the second-largest tuned bell in theworld, weighing 18.5 tons andmeasuring 117 inches acrossat the base. The normalmethod for sounding thebells is by internally orexternally striking with aclapper while the bell isstationary; but among theheaviest bells are 5 that canalso be sounded by means ofa “swinging peal” which,when executed, makes avery dramatic sight.The clavier room, lyingjust above the belfry for thefourteen heavy bells, is a moderately small, greyroom which contains not onlythe baton keyboard but thelarge “music box” for thesounding of the hourlychimes and which iscrisscrossed along the sidesby numerous steel beams.The baton keyboard is awonder of its own, consistingof a series of wooden han¬dles, or batons, and footpedals, to which are directlyattached wires which im¬mediately lead to theclappers of the various bells.There is no electricity in¬volved anywhere, except forthe hourly chimes, and thecarilloneur alone isresponsible for providing theforce which moves theclappers and sounds thebells. Indeed, for theheaviest bells, whoseclappers weigh as much as400 pounds, it is necessaryfor the carilloneur to jumpwith considerable force uponthe pedal before anythingapproaching a forte can behad. This direct connectionallows for maximum controlof the Carillon by thecarilloneur. guaranteeingresponse to the slightestnuance of texture which theplayer cares to impart.Ms. Dundore’s recital wasan excellent one, includingSUMMER FILMS THIS WEEKFri., July 11 7 & 9 P.M.

Kai Nebel. says thatthe fear of crime was amajor factor in his family’sdecision to move to Win-netka. With his fourdaughters growing up, heand his wife felt that theywere being overprotective ofthem in response to thethreat of crime in HydePark. “We restricted theirlives in a way that wasn’tfair ...we were developing afortress mentality.’’ Henoted, however, that living inthe suburbs doesn't meanthat you can forget whereyour children are.Mr. Nebel believes that ifhe were single or if he andhis wife had no children, thatthey would still be living inHyde Park Speaking verypositively of the area, hesaid: “The years I lived inHyde Park were the mostwonderful in my life in termsof the community."It is the sense of com¬munity and the culturalbenefits that make residentsspeak highly of Hyde Parkand that tip the scales infavor of remaining here. Aserious objection raised toMr. Fox's article is that heneglected the advantages of one female resident, whowas recently attacked, “Iwould feel safer in HighlandPark, but I would be boredand unhappy." Hyde Parkoffers the sense of closenessof a small town within alarge city, having thecultural and intellectualadvantages of ametropolitan area.The University of Chicagoand the residents of HydePark generally f eel acommittment to maintainthe community and itsreputation as a relativelysafe inner-city neigh-borhood They try to avoidbad publicity, althoughsometimes the evasionbecomes excessive.

This lesson issupposed to be given by thefact that very few' playerscan survive more than one ortwo seasons of the com¬bination of roller derby,motorcycle racing, andanarchy which is rollerballBut when Jonathan nears theend of his tenth highlysuccessful rollerball season,the directors decide that hissuccess is subvertine the. jQ-flf function which the gameserves and for which it wasdesigned. They order him toretire, even before theseason endsBut Jonathan hesitatesand finally decides todisobey the wishes of thedirectors, an act which noone is ever supposed tocommit. In this society thereis no government and thereare no nations — just thecorporate structure which isdominated by a few people,which provides foreveryone’s needs and whichdemands obedience. Still, the directors wish fornothing “unnatural” tohappen to Jonathan anddecide to make him into areinforcement of the lessonby changing the rules of hislast two rollerball games,making it into a game inwhich the team that wins isthe one with a player leftalive at the end, and insuringthat Jonathan's string ofsuccesses will come to anend But, No! Jonathan is thelast surviving player in thelast game We see him skatetriumphantly around thebodies, we see the corporateexecutive (John Houseman)leave with a sour look on hisface, and the film ends.The audience is supposedto be left wondering if this is,in fact, the final resolution ofthe conflict or if Jonathan will be subjected to someother dastardly injusticeUnfortunately, there is nocompelling reason for thisquestion to be important.This reviewer, for one, feltonly an urge to yawn.Part of this problem iscreated by the fact that thehero, Jonathan E . is really aeespicable anti-hero whoseevery act is a self-centeredone and whose livelihooddepends on doing mayhem toother men. frequently to thepoint of death. This mayhemis given a lot of screen timeand it’s hard for the viewerto forget all the blood theyhave seen Jonathan drawIn addition, the film hasthe serious flaw of not beingoriginal in the way it treatsits themes and characters.The idea of a man fighting against the wishes of atotalitarian state is an oldone. the violence makes onethink of little else, thewomen in the film are allsexual functionaries, and theoutcome is only slightly-surprisingA plot summary tells justabout all there is to tell aboutRollerball. an unfortunatesituation for any film.

Apair of articles in the recent issue of Chicago magazine has broughtthese tensions out into the open once more, with an unfortunatelymisdirected and exaggerated bias.The articles centered on the issues of crime and racism. TheUniversity, as the largest institutional influence in the Hyde Parkcommunity, is indicated by implication when the community isspoken against. We cannot state categorically that the con¬demnation of the community and the University is necessarilyinaccurate. W7e do not have, and do not know of, the informationnecessary to substantiate such a claim made in either direction.We do feel that the opinions and viewpoints of a few specific in¬dividuals should not be given the weight of the assumption that theyaccurately reflect the views of any large number of people. Bothauthors superimpose the lenses of their own experiences upon themap of Hyde Park.The situations described by the articles’ authors might be true,but we cannot endorse either the mentality of, or the specific have described.For years, residents have discussed the area’s fragility. Theyhave worried about the crime problem. People have speculated thatthe University might begin to have difficulty getting professorsbecause the community was too unsafe to dwell in, especially for theprofessors’ families. The question has been raised of whether thedrop in the percentage of women in next year’s entering class wasdue, not to eastern colleges’ new coed policies, but to the fact thatHyde Park was too unsafe a community for women to go to schoolin.These are serious questions. The scenario could be raised of aUniversity devoid of students and teachers, forced to stay in HydePark because the effort to buy land and enforce stability on thecommunity had too closely tied the University to acreage in a dyingarea. The issue is a serious issue.This is the great reason that a serious approach must be taken. Toinflame an open wound is either careless or insensitive, and weregret that the authors were whichever they were. They did notserve the cause of serious reflection.GAWhy the Wilson memo?suggestions behind, their proposed solutions. To suggest that onemust leave an area to be cured of it, is an irrational defeatism whichis ultimately self-destructive escapism. To suggest, alternatively,that we arm ourselves, and stay and fight, is another kind ofdesperate solution: we believe that arming individuals in order toprotect themselves is the same kind of arms escalation that occursbetween countries. Even worse, with armed individuals there can The University appears to have adopted a hard line concerningfaculty involvement with the Center for the Study of DemocraticInstitutions even before it has arrived in the city.President Wilson's memo to the deans concerning the reim¬bursement of salary in cases involving recruitment of replacementfaculty goes far beyond any warnings we’ve ever heard to BusinessSchool faculty who consult for I.B.M. or other corporations that paybe no possible balance to one person’s irrational insistences.The philosophy behind the articles seems to be one of “anythingfor a fast buck.” We are reminded of the movie that is currentlyshocking thousands of paying customers a day; “Jaws” is an ex¬cellent thriller, seriously weakened by its failure to solidly groundthe premise of the movie itself. People receive only the unreasonedthrill of being terrified by the encounter between man and monster.Crime provides terror also, but cannot be escaped by leaving themovie theater. Rape and assault are not to be indulged in as curesfor a long summer's boredom, not even by the vicarious method ofmagazine journalism. Since both authors appear to be vacating thecity as quickly as possible, we can only consider the articles asparting shots from a retreating foe. W’e are pleased to be able tocredit the authors with the courage of their convictions, for leavingtown.The authors may have hastened the process which they werequick to criticize. Their insensitivity to whatever stability does existin the community cannot help but increase the strains which they far more lucrative salaries than the Center.Before being asked, Mr. Wilson has already informed RobertHutchins and the Center that they will not get any money from theUniversity to support their new Chicago venture.What is the reasoning behind this fear and apprehension of one ofthe most respected policy research institutions in the country?Several faculty have expressed an interest in working at the Centeronce the move takes place. It appears that an excessive amount ofpressure is being placed upon deans and department chairmen tokeep a close watch on outside work done for the Center.It is our belief that faculty who have done work for the Center inthe past and those that want to begin now are doing a tremendousservice to the University. They would be participating in the kind offorum that the Committee on the Consequences of Research ad¬vocated last January — something for which they saw a tremendousneed. Faculty need a more meaningful place for intellectual andscholarly debate than the Roundtable at the Quadrangle Club.

In response to numerouscomplaints and severalincidents of people actuallybeing bitten, notices havebeen posted by theUniversity prohibitingunleashed dogs in thecampus area.The notice, signed by Deanof Students CharlesO’Connell and effective June23, states that all unleasheddogs found on Universityproperty will be impoundedby the Chicago PoliceDepartment’s Animal CareKessler heads ArtHerbert Kessler has beenappointed to the newlycreated position of Directorof Fine Arts at theUniversity of Chicago,effective July 1.

By the end of thequarter at least four peoplehad been bitten on the mainQuadrangle alone, two ofwhom had to have shots forrabies. Others complained ofbeing attacked by dogs andfinding it unsafe to cross theQuadrangle.In spite of the notice, dogsseem in little danger of actually being impounded.The Police Department’sAnimal Care section has onlyone mobile unit for pickingup dogs, and is not designedto handle emergenices. Themain office of the AnimalCare section relays com¬plaints to the mobile unit, butwith only one vehiclecovering the entire city,service is often slow If dogsare picked up they are im¬pounded for five days,during which time they maybe reclaimed by owners. They are then placed up foradoption for a period of twodays; if not adopted, theyare turned over to the City ofChicago Dog Pound.It is difficult to determinethe effect of the notice at theUniversity. Fewer dogs areto be seen on campus, andthe administration hasreceived no recent com¬plaints. yet this may be dueto a reduced caninepopulation over the summer,rather than to action on thepart of dog owners.Design. Though an integralpart of the Department ofArt, the Committee iscomprised of faculty fromdifferent areas - bothteaching artists and arthistorians, as well asprofessors in the Departments of Philosophyand English, and theUniversity Theatre.In order to make a widerrange of programs in theUniversity accessible toMaster of Fine Arts(M.F.A.) candidates than had been available before,the Committee now isresponsible for the M.F.Aacademic program It is alsoto see that new opportunitiesand programs in fine artsare developed forundergraduatesHejl is Named Dean of Business StudentsMr. Lubos J.

Free.Friday , July 11, 1975—The Chicago Maroon—5"NashvilleRemarkable Collaborative EffortBy Harold RichardsNashville,says RobertAltman, is his metaphor forAmerica. The greatness ofNashville is his masterfulcrafting of that metaphor.Altman also says he knowsnothing about Nashville. Thefilm has less to do with theAthens of the South than itdoes with what Nashvillerepresents in America’s vastentertainment industry. LizaMinnelli sings “bye-bye” toto her lieber herr after theirfine affair is over. HavenHamilton, a Nashville kingof heartbreak, bids farewelltohislover for “the sake of thechildren.” Haven's family'and friends join him on thestage of the Grand Ole Opryas if he were singing at achurch social. Nashville isthe entertainment capital ofthe America Las Vegas laughs at in contempt;Altman’s metaphor is aboutthat America.The opening credits ofNashville are an ad¬vertisement for itself. We’reintroduced to the film by thesame imagery used to sell“greatest hits albums” onlate night television ads.Haven Hamilton is reigningover a recording session,while next door a group ofgospel singers are taping.Country music is business,no doubt about that. But thatbusiness operates in a worldhalf a continent away fromHollywood. No. Hollywoodand Nashville are verydifferent kinds of places andtheir mutualacknowledgment but lack ofrecognition haunts much ofthe film. The appearances(as themselves) of Elliot Gould (“You know, the onewho used to be married toBarbra Streisand”) andJulie Christie (“She won anOscar for some movie, Idon’t know which one”)merely i 11 ust rates thechasm. The fact that unitesthem is the money theymake and the votespoliticians hope they candeliver. The manipulating,ever-smiling Californiapolitical organizer for theWallace-like presidentialcandidate. Hal PhilipWalker, tries to engage avisiting folk trio to sing at acampaign rally. He con¬fidentially acknowledges thevalue of the popularity of“red neck crappola” for thecampaign but wants to addsome hip entertainers tobroaden the appeal. Countrvmusicians are well aware of this contempt. The one thingTammy Wynette can’t bearis the way people from theEast and the Coast ridiculecountry folks. HavenHamilton insults the long¬haired pianist working on hisrecording for the bicen¬tennial: “Go get a haircut!Your kind doesn't belong inNashville.” Nashville standsfor American values in nouncertain terms. After all,“we must be doin' somethingright to last two hundredyears.” Nashville en¬tertainers, we're shown, singin church on Sunday mor¬ning. Even Barbara Jean,the Nashville queen ofheartbreak, convalescingafter an accident, sings inthe hospital chapel.For all its innovation,Nashville’s Hollywood rootsare evident. It is obviously inRonee Blakely and Henry Gibson in concert together."LET TOUR RESUMEDO THE WALKING"* Let our especially designed resumewalk you to the door of INTERVIEWOPPORTUNITY".* Then, let our MAN MARKETINGPROGRAM get you THAT JOB!* We prepare professional and uniqueresumes that employers will selectover all others.* Our MAN MARKETING PROGRAM'can match your career aspirationswith your ideal job requirements.CONSULT C.M.S.—"THE INVERVIEW GO-GETTERS"****(NOT an employment agency but anorganization specializing in exclusiveJob Search Programs' and ResumePreparation)Coll or Wrlto our collogo placement rep.Helen Justc/o Commercial Marketing Services1030 So.

But italso unfolds like a backstagemusical on a model as old asAlice Faye and John Payne.Before musicals had or¬chestras striking up in theAustrian alps, they wereabout performers, playing totheir audiences onstage andcoping with life and lovebackstage. Nashville isabout performers, musicaland political, those who havemade it and those whohaven’t. Garbo’s andCrawford's real-life fear ofbeing upstaged by the otherwas only resolved by havingthem never appear togetheron the set of Grand Hotel.Backstage, Nashvilleoperates the same way.Recuperating in the hospital,Barbara Jean becomesbitterly jealous when she’sreplaced in her welcome-home concert by her rivalConnie White. But herhusband-manager knows hehas to thank Connie publicly.Connie suspiciously refuses the flowers he brings her. Onstage, Barbara Jean tells herfans how happy she is to bewith them, how grateful sheis to them. Backstage, ...well, as the waiter at theairport restaurant quips:“she aint’ gonna sing fornobody ’less she gets paid.”It’s a familiar story.But the country musicworld is a star-system with adifference. Tammy stillsends six dollars a year tothe state of Alabama to k&epher hair dresser’s license upto date. Audiences are fickleand careers are volatile. Shewants to know' she hassomething to turn to. Bar¬bara Harris plays a countrygirl who wants to break intoOprvland. If she can’t makeit? Then she’ll sell trucks;she knows all about trucks.“People here think moviestars are eccentric.” Nash¬ville stars?

Hal Philip Walkerharps on a responsive themein America of the 1970’s bycalling for “one syllableanswers’’ and “first andforemost a common senseapproach to problems.”After all, there are “no freelunches”; sombeodv mustpay. Individualism onlysurvives in Hollywood in anoverdue John Wayne. It’salive and well in Nashville.Connie White tells threeeight year old boys whocome up to the stage to seeher to stay in school,because, after all. any one of because it’s the woman whois saying, sorry, I have to begoing), he calls anotherwoman to invite to the sack.Is Linnea shocked by thischildish insult he throws ather as she dresses? No, sheknew it was a sham all thetime. Backstage shambecomes public when Lin-nea’s political organizerhusband promises to letSueleen Gay (a pitifulwaitress with no singingtalent who is trying to breakinto the business), appearwith Barbara Jean the nextevening at a big rally for HalPhilip Walker if she will do astrip tease for a crowd ofpotential contributors to thecampaign. She’s forced totoss the cloth stuffed in herKaren Black sweeps past star struck Barbara Harristhem could grow up to bePresident. The power of thisappeal in American culturehits us forcefully as HowardK. Smith warns America totake this upstart Southernercandidate seriously. The dullblare of the roving campaignsound trucks, the hollow-echo of the tape-loop cliches,roam as aimlessly throughthe movie as the truck doesthrough the streets. Or asthese sentiments wouldthrough the mind of aHollywood hero.The Nashville Altmanshows us, through thebeautifully createdcharacters of JoanTewkesbury’s script,reaches out not only to thenation but into the lives ofthe musicians and citizens inits orbit, Lily Tomlin, in oneof the finest performances ofthe film, shows us that herhumor is never very far frompenetrating commentaryand that a good comedienneis perforce a good actress.Her anomalous role asLinnea Reese, the only whitemember and lead singer ofan all black gospel choir,succeeds by the quiet realityshe brings to the character.Her boorish husband cannotunderstand or share herrefusal to permit their deafchildren to survive on pity.“My boy’s got a great per¬sonality” she tries to tellOpal, the BBC reporter. Inan especially poignantscene, Linnea teachers KeithCarradine, an offensive DonJuan folk singer recording inNashville, how to say “I loveyou” in the deaf-mutealphabet. When she realizesshe has to leave his bed andreturn home (all the moreirritating to Carradine bra out to the whistling andstomping audience. Theproud recipient of herpanties, grinning from ear toear, waves his prize over hishead for everyone to see.Nashville is still the kind oftown where hopefuls arriveon a Greyhound bus and lineup to appear at amateurspots.Our other link to Nash¬ville’s people is a boardinghouse keeper (KeenanWynn) whose dying wife is inthe same ward as BarbaraJean. His goupie niece fromL A. adapts to Nashvilleimmediately and never doesvisit her aunt. Her constant,inane presence is yet anotherreminder of the culturalspace that separates Nash¬ville and Hollywood.The critical acclaimsurrounding the release ofNashville has given Altmanextensive, if not exclusivecredit for the success of thefilm. Tewkesbury’scharacters and thecreativity which the castbrings to them give the filmthe substance which make atwo and a half hour filmabout twenty-four peoplepossible. Even the oftenimplausible, thankless roleof Opal, an insufferablereporter from the BBC doinga documentary on Nashville,is played with remarkableintelligence by GeraldineChaplin. She strides aroundthe sets, poking hermicrophone into anycelebrity’s face.and askingthose embarrassingquestions so characteristicof unseasoned" journalistsWe*re constantly remindedwhat Nashville as a culturalentity means to all thecharacters. The sign at the new Grand Ole Opry tells uswhat Opryland is- “it’s the“Home of American music.”Not the home of country andwestern music, Americanmusic. Even the presence ofthe gospel singers in thestudio is anomalous in theland of only one CharleyPride. Haven Hamilton’sHarvard Law School degreegraduate son shows us thevalue of his degree in Nash¬ville. His daddy alwayswanted him to grow' up tomanage his business affairsand that’s just what he does.One of the film’s persistentthemes is that the countryand western stars andpoliticians are similar kindsof people. Not simply thatpoliticians are like singers,but that *hey are like eachother. W’hen Barbara Jeanbreaks down in public aftermaking a fool of herself bytelling pointless stories, herhusband subdues the booingaudience, her instantaneouspublic opinion polls, bypromising she'll perform ata rally for Hal Philip Walkerthe next evening. HavenHamilton is convinced topubliclly support Walker bya promise to run him forgovernor of Tennessee. He'sa popular man. He controlssome of the power that Nash¬ville has to offer In responseto the assassination at theend of the film, he wandersaimlessly around the stageshouting “Somebody sing,somebody sing.” It’s Bar¬bara Harris (the singer or, ifnot, then truck seller) whograbs the mike and singsYou might say that I ain’tfree,But it don’t worry me.Now- power is not freedomand it is power rather thanfreedom that Nashville cangive its successful per¬formers. Some in Nashvilleare powerful, but none isfree. Power is only boughtwith debts.I’ll leave it to others moreinterested in such questionsto discuss if, in fact, Nash¬ville is the most importantevent in Ameican cinemasince Citizen Kane. Theremarkable fact about Nash¬ville is the enormous scope ofcooperation andcollaboration necessary toconstruct such a complexfilm. None of the roles is soinsignificant to be con¬sidered merely a walk-on ora cameo. Although Altmanand Tewksbury insist thefilm is primarily intended tocreate mood and to assaultthe viewer with sights andsounds, the fact that Nash¬ville draws on a virtuallyuntapped aspect ofAmerican culture gives thefilm a rich freshness anddepth uncommon in recentyears Nashville bids well forthe future of American film.JAMESSCHULTECLEANERS~ CUSTOM QUAUTYOCANING10% student discount-1363 I. 53rd St.753-6933 This semester,your reading assignmentswill probably requirearound 500 hoursof your time.You could cut itto 150.Or 100.
