The commune issue, which raged so strongly in Kitchener-- Waterloo at the start of this year, has recently been raised again.

Conflicts between com- munalists and the city and neigh- bours seem to have been re- invigorated.

gross mis-interpretation and injustice to those people honestly seeking employment.

The cycle often begins when a mother is suddenly left alone as the sole parent to support a family. Such mothers invariably find it difficult to obtain a job or are unable to handle a job while

issue simmering ciguin In such cases the mothers

would draw a “mother’s allowance” from welfare, half of the total amount going for shelter and the remainder to be used for food, clothing, utilities and personal requirements.

The mother’s allowance fluctuates as to the number of dependants in the house. In certain instances sons and daughters have been forced out of school because of expenses and have. then caused a drop in the amount their mother receives, thus putting the welfare- home on a tighter budget.

A few welfare mothers spoken to, told of how their sons or daughters had finally decided to move out of the house so that their mother’s allowance cheques would not be “docked” because of their being out of school and unemployed.

In these particular cases the mother’s children now live in houses with other people sharing the expenses to live.

Living in a commune and being without a job, the one boy has had to apply for welfare since he could not find a job and could

not apply for retraining unless he had worked for three years. The mother explained at the time how if she had received half of what her son receives now on her mother’s allowance cheque she could have kept him in school, thereby breaking the welfare cycle rather than continuing it.

A sim‘ilar case is that of a sixteen-year-old Kitchener girl now in a house with four others on King st. east. Her name was withheld from the rolls of Cameron Heights collegiate institute where she was to register at the start of this month.

The vice-principal informed the girl that this was being done until either she returned to live with her mother or until she was granted welfare.

The administration of the school expressed that before she would be admitted she should be living with a responsible person, preferably her mother.

However the mother who receives a “mother’s allowance” does not want her daughter home, nor does the daughter wish to go, and the mother is alread hard-pressed to supply for the girl’s brothers and sisters.

Not able to satisfy the school with living at home, Cindy moved in with her friends and applied for welfare aid in able to return to school but was turned down by .her counsellors.

Birnitihl, when asked about such a case as this, replied to the effect that the welfare depart- ment works closely with the public school system and they have mutually decided that a person living in a commune should not receive welfare because there is, not a resp&-tsible adult in the house.

He said the situation of a commune would not be con- ducive for the person attending high school to do the necessary homework; therefore, the ap- plication for welfare aid was unacceptable.

ln response to the question as to what possible alternatives there were for the girl, Birnstihl said that first she must find a home apprdpriate to their (the school’s and the welfare dept’s) liking.

This girl is now not only unable to go back to school for her business and computer proces- sing training but is jobless and virtually destitute, save for the assistance of friends.

Clearly, this shows a lack of concern by the city for such young persons needing assis- tance.

Commune problems (continued from paie 1) *

Seeming to correspond with the start of this fall term, there has been more expressed awareness about communal and co-op housing situations near the university and throughout the Twin City area, especially by those persons who find one in their neighbourhood.

Attention at Waterloo city hall has lately been focussed in particular on a house near Westmount Plaza which has been occupied by three successive groups of persons who have lived in what is known as the ‘com- munal’ style.

The house is in a quiet neigh- bourhood surrounded by single family dwellings, and is therefore within residential zoning bylaws.

The law permits a family unit plus three boarders in Waterloo while the bylaw for a residential area in Kitchener allows a maximum of five un-related persons in a single dwelling.

The commune mentioned above, having a married couple

and three to five others living in, is sometimes within the law and sometimes not, being usually in a state of flux.

The watchful eye Almost three weeks ago a neighbour brought up the issue of the commune at the Waterloo city council meeting and asked about the lack of enforcement of the zoning bylaw.

Donald Scott, chief city planner of Waterloo, replied that there wasn’t the manpower to enforce the bylaw, and that if it were to be enforced in all of Waterloo, thousands of students would be put out of a place to stay.

Different attempts to agitate enforcement of the bylaw in this case have been brought to the city’s attention over the past few years. The first was the iss.ue of noise pollution by the first group living there, which included a band. The second was a parking problem, with cars in the way of snow plows. Now, finally, the complaint is being focused

directly on city hall by the neigh- bour to enforce the existing residential zoning bylaw, which would permit communes under

houses.

Asked about the possibility of enforcement of the zoning by- laws in the near .future, Doug Morrison, assistant planner in Waterloo, sees little that will or can be done in terms of the number of persons living in a house.

Specific cornpaints of extreme cases where there is a question of health conditions or such problems as noise or parking are dealt with either through the building department or the police.

The only direct concern with with the planning department is that the number of persons living in a certain area must be

accommodated by the public utilities for that area. Morrison sees no real possibility that the

the number of communes in an area.

Morrison said the main con- cern about communes among people in Waterloo city hall is that of those landlords who evade repaying the tax rebate, from rental of the house, to the oc- cupants.

While the overall concern with communes in the Twin Cities does not appear too menacing, there are several ways in which they have been “legitimately” pressured. The most common forms are by the raising of rents, the “adjustment” of money allotted to welfare recipients living in communes, the attitudes of neighbours, and harrassment by the police, often in the form of drug raids and surveillance.

Federation of students accounts and office staff have been under a new watchful eye since july 17, 1968. G. W. “Pete” Yates has served as business manager of the federation since the resignation of Paul Gerster, who left to, become director of the campus center.

Administration leans on student, steward

by Marc Roberts the chevron

This column is intended to be a forum for all societies, clubs and organizations on campus. There will be news of upcoming activities and an op- portunity for the groups to express their views on campus issues. The following is some general in- formation provided by the societies, clubs and . organizations.

Arts Sot

This society plans to provide opportunities for social activity as well as providing grants for course club activities.

Other organizations under the engineering society include the civil and chemical engineering clubs, Fclasses 72 and 73, and the civil engineering class of 72, ‘a’ stream. Interested in joining any of these clubs or organizations? Inquire at the Eng. Sot . office.

This year there will be a meet the president night, at which students can get aquainted with the presidents of all the course clubs. At the planned arts society ball, awards will be given to the best teachers in the faculty.

Grad Student Union

The arts society also acts as a body for student - faculty liason, and provides members on various arts faculty committees.

This union has an office in room 29 in the basement of the campus centre. It is a voluntary organization comprised of thirty-five elected students from the 24 depts. GSU is independent of ‘the federation and it has control of its own activities and finances.

Their activities include a legal assistance program, a monthly newspaper, free reception service for new grad students, a directory, movie club, car rallies, pub nights, and support to other organizations such as the birth control centre.

In the future, the GSU intends to investigate the new parking regulations, publish a report on the new budget, an English-in-Action program to assist staff, faculty, and students to improve their con- versational ability in English.

AI1 grad students are needed to enable this organization to continue their numerous activities.

“Le Club Francais”

This club hopes to create a french and french Canadian cultural atmosphere that you do not ob- tain in a classroom.

Last year they had parties, films, a concert by Pierre Calves, a play, special lectures, and a trip to the Quebec carnival.

History club

This club has an excellent reference library in the humanities building. Plans for this year include a student-faculty study and guest speakers.

Economics club 1

Last year this club had four speakers and three pubs. They also have a library.

Other clubs .

Russian, German, anthro, fine arts, religion, psych, Phil, english and poli sci.

If ‘you are interested in any Artsoc clubs see Phillip Benovoy , hum 177b.

Engsoc

The purpose of this society is to “act as the of- ficial representative of engineering students, and to promote and co-ordinate the academic, social, cultural, and athletic activities of its members.”

They claim to be the strongest sdciety on campus. Engsoc council meets six times a term in

E1301.Meetings are open.

Institute of electrical and electronics engineers

They provide an opportunity for people to work with others in their field, a magazine, technical literature, speakers and films. Membership is free but the magazine costs.

American society of mechanical engineers

A chance for mechanical engineers to become involved in major technological problems. There are open seminars and meetings. The five-dollar fee brings a magazine and reduced rates on technical literature. A Canadian society is now forming and new members are needed.

Mech e?g club

This club was just recently formed. It will provide information about societies and give dinners, lec- tures, trips, and related projects.

Ham radio club

This club is open to any member of the university. It does not offer a training program but refers

people to the Kitchener-Waterloo amateur radio club. The club is fully equipped and operates from room 2349a of Eng.2. Any interested people should contact Prof. R.G. Anthes of the electrical engineering dept. or Mike Shipman, room phy.315.

Environmental Studies Society

Included in this society are planning 72, geog 72, and the architecture, anthropology, planning, and man environment clubs.

geography,

The anthropology club meets tomorrow in S.Sc 330 for the purpose of formulating policies and activities and to elect the executive.

For more info on various clubs, drop into the society office (S.Sc 356) or phone ext. 3879.

The society has established a $1000 emergency loan fund. These loans are available to full-time undergrads enrolled in environmental studies. The maximum loan is usually $100; information may be obtained in SS 356.

A questionaire will be handed out at the end of term for use in a evaluative booklet on professors next September.

Sci Sot A science society general meeting will be held at

3: 30 p.m. today, in Bio 253. The agenda includes the 1971-72 budget, filling of vacant positions, a referendum on compulsory society fees, and the planning of the years events.

Science Weekend will be in mid-October. A student-faculty get-together is planned for 12 or 13 October. This society will also provide three $50 scholarships and $1000 for reference texts which are in short supply.

Sci Sot includes the physics, geology and chemistry clubs and perhaps a biology club.

Last week the physics club had an open house to all the labs and the observatory. They are hoping to send five representatives to the Canadian physics convention in Vancouver on thanksgiving weekend. in Vancouver on thanksgiving weekend.

The Geology Club semi-formed last year, is hoping for a good start this year.

Phys ed and ret student assoc.

Committees are being formed to deal with en- tertainment, the major concern in the past; student- faculty relations, to deal with curriculum and to form a grievance committee; publications, such as information letters for work term students, a newspaper, and an undergrad technical journal.

There has been talk about splitting PERSA into kin and ret divisions because of the disparity of interests.

At time of publication we had not yet contacted the optometry society, mathsoc, or the international student association.

A uniwat student worker at physical plant and planning became the centre of a conflict between management and per- sonnel this summer when he was suddenly dismissed.

David Hinks, 4th year economics student, was hired tentatively as a painter’s helper and told he would be working until school started. On july 29, he was informed by the shop’s lead hand that he would be dismissed the following day.

A union steward disagreed with the decision to dismiss Hinks with only one day’s notice and no remuneration. He also pointed out the difference in pay between student employeees and union members.

Union painter’s helpers receive $2.89 per hour and four per cent holiday pay. Hinks received $2.25 per hour and two per cent holiday

pay. After appealing on Hinks’ behalf to maintenance supervisor Ross He&us and receiving no action, the steward went to higher officials for a decision reversal.

A week later he received a letter of reprimand from He&us for interfering in management decisions. Hinks, however, was kept on the extra week before being let go, apparently because extra help was needed.

The steward was warned that ’ further punitive action would be taken should his name appear in. the chevron.

By standing up for student employee rights, he has been threatened with termination of his employment. The situation remains confused.

Complaints against arbitrary dismissal of non-union employees have so far resulted in conflict and cries of unnecessary interference in management decisions.

* AT SAM THE RECORD MAN * AUDITORIUM BOX OFFICE and e ALL AUDITORIUM OUTLETS

The AHman Brothers band at Filmore East According to current hype, the

Allman Bros. Band just plain plays good; after listening to this record it’s evident that the hype is just plain right.

If you’re unfamiliar with them, the Allmans are anyone heavy you can think of, plus good taste well administered and a level of musicianship so high and so constant that it’s almost ridic- ulous. Their origins are in the deep south, which becomes evident when they play blues, which they do with an authority most bands can only envy. They respect tradition too, which becomes esp- ecially important when playing in a form as traditional as the blues.

This respect is amply demon- strated on side 1,. which features Allman Bros. Band arrangements

of three familiar blues tunes: Statesboro Blues, Done Somebody Wrong and Stormy Monday. Each cut is nearly tlawless in both concept and execution, especially the latter, which is one of the finest arrangements on record.

The remaining two sides contain three songs, all originals. Side 3 comprises two instrumental tracks, and if the Allmans ’ are surpassed in the albeit narrow field of writing instrumental rock music, it is only by Booker T. and the MG’s (that’s a compliment). Both Hot ‘Lanta and In Memory of Elizabeth Reed ideally suit the group, allowing plenty of rcom for improvising within a definite framework. They provide a showcase for everyone; individ- ually, in twos and threes or as a

whole. And it sounds like the band spends about 48 hours a day playing together. The two lead guitarists follow each other tied tightly through some licks that most guitar players would have trouble navigating alone, and the two drummers get together for breaks which are so tight and so much a part of the song that you hardly miss the rest of the band.

The album closes with a 2% minute version of Greg Allman’s Whipping Post (side 4). They pull out all the stops and do just about everything you’d want except the dishes. we energy level through- out is almost higher than you can stand, including a segment where they get downright spacey. And, amazingly or not, it all hangs together.

Into this situation walked a young girl. She looked somewhat anemic. due in nart to the harsher lighting that was a leftover from the Octoberfest pageant. She was sidetracked on her way to the YWCA and became an in- structional instrument for Tolen to teach to Colin “how to deal with women”, Colin was an enthusiastic learner of the dominant technique and was happy whether par- ticipating or watching Tolen practice.

The eventual conflict did not develop until the end of the play when it was a question of either Tolen’s reputation or Colin’s manhood. Tom moved throughout the play as a casual observer, instigator of fantasies and deliverer of wit. Tom did not recognize Tolen’s superiority and this irked Tolen to the extent of promising Colin, also landlord, sexual adventures in return for the expulsion of Tom.

Nancy enjoyed the attention she was receiving. She relized that she was a pawn in some game and took the initiative by claiming that she was raped during a fainting spell. She accused Tolen, then Colin of the act. Colin, the rapist, was a . novel idea to Colin, the un- pretentious, and provided him with the impetuous drive to claim the girl at the end of the play. Un-

Tracksters post first win

.

The track and field warriors travelled to macmaster stadium last Saturday unsure of their future as champions in the league. The freshman-laden team came up with seven firsts to easily outpoint the other six schools competing.

The vie tory, however, was a hollow one because the real threat to Waterloo’s continued supre- ‘macy, the western mustangs, did not elect to compete. As a result, the warriors still have no idea how they will fare in next month’s championship.

News filtering out of london indicate that the mustangs are remaining out of competition until they can recruit enough athletes to make a powerful showing. By then, the warrior freshmen may have enough experience for them to squeeze another championship through.

Veterans George Neeland and Dennis McGann took their events easily. Neeland only needed to run a 14.9 second sprint hurdle race to lead the opposition. McGann jumped less than 23 feet to claim the long jump, but tore a muscle in his final attempt and will be out of competition for a few weeks.

Dan Anderson took the lead in the longest race of the day on the first lap and 10,000 meters later

crossed the line yards ahead of the other runners in 32:11.08.

Freshman sprinter Mike Murray surprised many with an easy 10.6 second 100 meter clocking to take that sprint event. Neeland grabbed third place with eleven seconds flat.

The last of the furry degenerates, Nigel Strothard, went out with the lead at the start of the 800 mt. run and kept his swift pace for 1 minute 54.6 seconds to win the race.

Ted Humphries, a freshman sprinter ran away from the field in the 200 meter event and finished with his back to the opposition in 22.5 seconds.

Wins shot put Ed Moloy surprised Rob

Lingwood of Queens when he tossed the steel ball 13.27 mt. to win with Lingwood the favourite, almost a foot behind in second place.

Jon Arnett outlasted former warrior Kip Sumner to place second behind Ken Hamilton of York in the 5000 mt. run.

In the triple jump, the warriors suffered a loss with the absence of Bill Lindley . Watt of Toronto won the event with a leap of less than 45 feet. Andy McGann, however, kept Waterloo’s hopes alive in that event with a second place jump of 42 feet.

The most disappointed com- petitor of the day was Terry Wilson who has been throwing the javelin for the warriors in the shadow of Glen Arbeau for the last few years. Back in training after a long lay off during which he managed to in- clude a marriage ceremony, Wilson tossed the spear less than 260 feet, ten feet below his average. That enemic throw left him less than a foot out of first place and three inches behind second.

Discus thrower Ed Buller rounded out the field event points with a third place finish in the discus throw.

Although the meet was low key, Bruce Simpson, Canada’s pole vault record holder, won that event with a 16’5%” effort.

Dual psyche The meet tomorrow at western

which is listed as a warriors- mustangs dual should give coach Arthur Taylor a good idea of what to expect from the western crew this season.

Many of the warriors, however, will be missing from this bout which may continue the psychological battle between the two teams. Neither is willing to allow a full showing of their strength to the other and in this way no one will know the full strength of the teams until the championships next month.

One example is the warrior sprint relay team which has Humphries, McGann, Murray and Neeland as members. The latter three of these competitors have. run together during the summer months and were three-quarters of the team which posted the fastest relay time in the country this year, except, of course, for the national team. They have not showed up in meets for Waterloo ‘and intend to hold off for another two meets.

The former pessimism which gloomed on the horizon of the team is being replaced by a guarded optimism as the team sees a possible repeat of the last three years as a bright ray to spur on their training.

Warriors drop third The fourth ranked Queen’s

golden gaels defeated the warriors 36-O Saturday at Kingston. The game was a scoreless tie until the 5 :36 mark of the second quarter when Brian Warrender went five yards off tackle for the first TD of the game.

With a little over a minute left in the half the gaels blocked a punt deep in Waterloo territory to set up their second touchdown and they went to the dressing room with a 14-O lead.

The third quarter was scoreless but the fourth quarter saw the gaels explode for three more majors.

Warrender was the workhorse in the Queen’s backfield, carrying the ball 26 times for 126 yeards, for an average of almost 5 yards a carry. carry.

QB Tom Yaylor called a good game mixing up his running and

passing game. He was good on 9 of 19 passing attempts including a 38 yard pass to John Waddell and a 25 yarder to Stu Lang, both good for touchdowns.

Peter Bedford played an ex- cellent game for the warriors going both ways for a good part of the game, catching three passes and picking off one Queen’s aerial.

The warriors got beaten by a good football team but a couple of untimely and frustrating mistakes helped make Queen’s job a lot easier. .% .

On Wednesday the warriors are in action against the Windsor lancers, who defeated them 6-O in the first game of the season and in the Queen’s game the warriors showed sign of putting everything together, if they can play 60 mihutes without turning the ball over quite so many times thes they could win number one.

Harrier team victory Gith events Enthused after a win on- the

track in Hamilton the day before, coach Arthur Taylor took his cross country warriors to Guelph for a five team competition on Saturday.

The pleasant five mile course was familiar to many of the run- ners and ineligible warrior Python Northey took the lead from the gun.

Dan Anderson fell in behind the Waterloo leader and these two runners continued a warrior domination for the first half of the race.

At the half-way mark, Anderson made a wrong turn and found himself a few hundred yards away from the rest of the field. After a gallant effort to get back in the race, he rejoined the pack only to be twenty seconds behind his former position and occupying third place.

The other nine Waterloo runners

easily within striking distance of most of the field. As the field spread out during the final mile, Northey maintained his lead and finished almost a minute and a half ahead of second place.

Anderson drove towards the finish line and made up all but six seconds of his lost time to finish third only a few strides behind second place.

Ineligible waterl.oo runners finished first, seventh and thir- teenth. Even without this aid, the warriors took the team cham- pionship by five points from the hosting Guelph team.

Dan Anderson, Peter Oliver, Jon Arnett, Mike Kajne and Nigel Strothard finished 2, 5, 7, 8 and 12 respectively to score 34 points for the warrior win.

exploitation, amateurish acting, erratic direction and a muddled political statement.

reason.

All of these may or may not be true on a balance-sheet, and none of them keep the film from being highly entertaining and stimulative.

The film, set in the american southwest, is the story of Billy Jack, a half breed, ex-green beret who has taken upon himself the responsibility of protecting the Indians and an uns true tured “freedom school” from the townspeople who view the long-haired youths as hippies and communists.

Billy Jack first appears in the movie to save .a herd of wild mustangs from slaughter by white townspeople. Billy has no hesitation about using violent means to obtain what he thinks is right, a belief which is in complete opposition to the ideals the school tries to teach.

The important question through out the movie is whether pacifism and peaceful resistance can halt evil and it is never com- ple tely answered.

Billy Jack is obviously presented here as a more-than-human symbol of those who feel they should never initiate violence, but also feel no qualms about lashing back mercilessly at those who attack them.

Throughout the film, the freedom school and its members are attacked and threatened by

His character is the complete opposite of

various adversaries.

Jean, the Joan-Baez-like head of the freedom

Each of these situations is met either by Billy’s violence (which is always justified in

school. Jean sticks steadfastly to the idealism

the film) or by Jean’s non-violent means. It seems entirely possible that director T.C.

Frank (really Delores Taylor, who plays Jean)

of the turn-the-other-cheek stream of pacifism.

meant for Billy and Jean to be representations of the two sides of man : the violent, emotion- led, and the more rational, idealistic.

But both characters come off as more than just representations. Taylor, in fact, makes Jean one of the most refreshingly authentic and humane personalities to appear on the screen for a long time.

Some of the most brilliant scenes in the film occur when the students stage guerilla theatre in the town and aIso engage two of the town council in acting out roles. ,The comedy is natural and well-timed and appears as un- structured as guerilla theatre is supposed to be.

Tom Laughlin plays Billy Jack as a cool-on- the-surface-though-smoldering-underneath character. Although Billy Jack is supposed to be half Indian, Laughlin unfortunately has no Indian physical characteristics, which appears to be another testament to the prevailing Hollywood belief that white men can portray Indians better than Indians themselves.

And although Billy is supposedly living on the reservation, learning from the people, most of his concern seems to be with the school.

There is also some doubt about the validity of

the snake ceremony in which he permits a rattlesnake to bite him as often as it wants. He lives through this ordeal through use of his Indian medicine bag and returns to bring a message that young white people have much to learn from the Indians. But we never see any of this learning in the film.

The villains seem to be a bit too evil to be believable and one, Bernard, played by David Roya, gives out conflicting signals. At the beginning it appears that he -might stand up to his father (he refuses to shoot mustangs) but no, he turns out to be as bad as the rest, and you are left wondering what that one scene was all about.

The K-W Record’s film critic, Walter Hor- dichuk put down Billy Jack on almost all counts, dwelling on the children in the freedom school, whom he characteristically tagged as “liberated young brats” and “disturbed young radicals .”

But then, Walter, who is all too often prevented from writing a real review by his own fantasy-laden sexual hang-ups, can’t be taken very seriously as a critic, especially when the films address themselves to persons and situations outside his own limited lifestyle experiences.

The photography is often excellent and always visually attractive, the acting is so good (or so bad) that you often forget you’re watching actors and the screenplay is in- triguingly adept at being perceptive while appearing simple.

You may disagree with its politics, but its hard to put down its clear statement of future alternatives for an increasingly polarized society.

panic in Needle Park by Sue Minas and Gary Robins

The press releases heralding the arrival of Panic in Needle qark in town told us the film would reveal many aspects of the drug world that have not been seen even on documentaries.

In a way, this was true; unfortunately, these newly-revealed aspects were a bit too far out to be real. Junkies aren’t quite like that.

The setting: Needle Park, an intersection in New York city on the west side. It received its infamous nickname years ago when the area became a well-known hangout for junkies. A “panic” is a shortage of heroin in a particular areaThe plot: boy meets girl, they fall in love; they shoot smack (lots of needle close-ups,ooh, dig those veins, shoot ‘em up, zzzzoop. . .ahhh, far out), they get mad, happy, mad again, more junk (more close-ups), happy, sad...The EndThe characters : Helen and Bobby mostly, their spaced-out friends, a little dope now and then, and a with-it narc who tries to be com- passionate.

Helen is a middle class aspiring artist from Indiana (Illinois? 1. We never really understand her as a character, why she falls so easily and almost complacently into prostitution and addiction, or even why she hangs out with Bobby, a small-time thief, junkie and pusher. She meets his friends (burglars, prostitutes,

pimps and junkies, hard-core, down and out) ’ and smiles sweetly, almost warmly, somewhat

in the manner of a spaced-out Katherine Ross. Al Pacino as Bobby gives a fine performance,

the only bright spot in the film. Cocky, desparate, in love, betrated, he is always believable, somewhat like a strung-out Dustin Hoffman (really). Pacino grew up around Needle Park, and his accents and gestures are just right.

Many of the other characters seemed too StereotypedUn the dark, all you junkies look alike). Their roles entailed little more than showing off their veins (far out! . ..I and waiting for the rushes.

The hoped-for realism falls down, however, in the way the characters relate to each other and to their dope.

The junkie on the street lives a desparate and precarious existence. His life consists of figuring out how to get heroin, shooting it up and getting more heroin. By the end of the movie, Helen was shooting over 80 dollars a day. A junkie’s main concern is his next fix and how to get it; apart from that, nothing is of any concern. Helen just couldn’t take her dope seriously enough.

William Burroughs sets down thre basic

principles on which the pyramid of junk is built. They could also be applied to any business:

o Never give anything away for nothing. o Never give more than you must give. l Always take everything back if at all

possible. During a panic when junk is scarce, people

get desparate and careless. They get busted and are forced to turn in their friends (“During the panic, they all rat. . . .sooner or later.“). Helen finally turned in Bobby, but not for those reasons.

Overall, the film was a big down. It didn’t make any understandable points. And it cer- tainly didn’t have much aesthetic value. New York is an ugly town at best and this was far from the best.

We couldn’t really understand why it was made. It didn’t really contribute’ to any un- derstanding of smack addiction. There was no reason or insight into Helen’s addiction, or why the people in Needle Park stayed there.

On the other hand, speed freaks would ap- pear to be really well off compared with the Needle Park gang (“You always feel a little better, y’know, when you see somebody who’s got it worse than you” - Arlo Guthrie) But think of the Last Guy.

Shaine by Nancy Jones from Great Speckled Bird

Shame is a movie about three things: two human beings, their relationships and the larger events shaping their lives: and about how those things work on each other.

The two human beings are Jan and Eva Rosenberg,. ex-musicians living on a farm. Jan is a man almost totally stranded in the country, as if he’d trained so completely to be a musician he was incapable of being anything else. His sensibilities are ill-equipped to deal with his emotions in other ways. If cir- cumstances had been different, it would have been easy to see him approaching middle-age in the city, having carved for himself a little niche, and settling comfortably into it. As it is, he’s completely out of his element, and evidences of it are a wrapped-up self-centered- ness, and a tendency to fall apart under any strain.

Eva, on the contrary, is at home anywhere, because her strength and love of life drive her to look for meaning in whatever situation she’s in. If music had been one way for her to reach people at one time, she’s not hampered by the loss of it. She’s intensely involved with herself and the changes life brings on her. She grows impatient with the floundering Jan, flares up, and becomes as instantly sorry. While Jan seems incapable of coming to any kind of conclusion, or comprehension, she reacts strongly and immediately, then reflects. She makes mistakes, she regrets, but she acts.

Their relationship is full of contradictions.

The movie opens at a blossoming point, where a trip to town and a bottle of wine bring them close, and open to each other, and the potential for fulfillment in that relationship seems very rich and good. The unfolding of the movie is the disintegration of that potential, as it is brought about by the flaws in their characters, and the unnatural pressures of catastrophe and horror.

The event external to them is an unnamed war, that affects them at first as people whose fortunes and circumstances have been radically altered, then as people under threat of disaster, then as victims of combat, and finally as participants in the grisliest of horror tales. After their home is destroyed, they wind up cast adrift in a boat surrounded by floating bodies.

It is Jan who changes. A wholly external infidelity on the part of Eva brings him to act decisively in a situation for perhaps the first time in his life, and certainly for the first time in the movie. It is an act of passion, of jealousy, of an intense awareness, all of a sudden, of his wife. But it’s like the flash of a light bulb when it burns out. The transformation from the warm and real, to the ironic, to the macabre, in the tone of the movie is matched by the tran- sformation of Jan from a man equipped only to play the violin to a man eqlsipped only to survive. But the thought occurs at the end when the impassive, stony face of Jan looks past Eva while she continues to talk to him about her’ dreams and reactions, that perhaps the dif-

ference between a man who doesn’t seem to feel, and one who is beyond feeling, is only one of degree. That Jan is no different in his relationship to the woman who loves him than he ever was.

Despair seems to be the trademark of Ingmar Bergman. Or at least that’s the feeling I’ve always left his movies with. Despair and awe, because I’m convinced that nobody puts a movie together more perfectly. These characters are magnificently complex, and beautiful. Close-up shots of Eva as she simply thinks or sees or talks give you the kind of scrutiny you usually reserve for someone you love, so you find that you love her. Long shots allow you to see whole chains of events as they affect several people whose reactions you are getting into. Settings like the crowded antique shop, with its attitude of useless preciousness, the stark table where the infidelity of Eva unfolds like a panel discussion, the rocky plain Eva runs out into when she realizes that Jan is past reaching, lend such strong and perfect moods to the scenes. There is something un- forgettable about an Ingmar Bergman scene, like a recurring dream.

Shame was part of an excellent triple hitter presented for campus viewing by federation of students. The program they have set up for this year is exceptional for its quality. If you enjoy -.. movies, get a federation movie time table and be prepared for some pleasant surprises.
