Page 8 The Carolina Journal Wednesday, April 10, 1968 ‘Romeo And Juliet Ballet’ Exciting Is Shown Film For The Layman by Mr. Eric Anderson, Instruc tor of Fine Arts on campus. There was a unique panel dis cussion on contemporary writers featuring r^-halred and booted Charleen Whisnant, apoetessand editor of the Red Clay Reader, and long-haired and mustachioed writer Bill Matthews. Guy Owens, writer and educator was also part of the panel. The most conflicting point of the two schedules—those of the elections and the Festival—was on Wednesday. While the cam paign speeches took place in the cafeteria, Wallace Kaufman, a contemporary poet, gave a poet ry reading in the Parquet Room. Mr. Kaufman’s poetry reflects his past dealings in technology ‘Waiting For Godot’ Was Excellent Play the entrance of Pozzo (Gerard Dionne) and Lucky (RogerGross- wald) intrigues the spectators. The idea of stagnation which, in the beginning seems apparent, is disturbed by the intrusion of characters who are undeniably active. At first they are envied by Gogo and Didi because they have no need to make time, for Lucky drags on anyway, and Po zzo is behind him and sees to it tat he does. Perhaps the most outstanding scene in the play wasMr.Gross- wald’s interpretation of a rant ing monologue touching on every thing from tennis to “cunard”. His driving delivery was eery, almost frightening, in its insis tence. The audience feels com pelled to assist Gogo and Didi in their frantic attempts to stop this crazed “thinking”. The tone of humaneness which lifts the two characters from basic meaninglessness may be only a tiny comfort, even though this comfort does not have any basis for comforting. And whom ever Godot is, in whom we be lieve we have hope—it shows that warmth means more than meaning. and are quite poignant. He uses technolc^ as a device to ex plain an idea fraught with sign ificance. Also on Friday, an amazingly interesting and entertaining film, “Romeo and Juliet Ballet” was shown. This film proved very enjoyable even to a layman. Gilbert Carpenter gave a lec ture on Thursday on “Minimal Art.” The beginning of the three night run of the play produced by the Fine Arts Department “Waiting For Godot” was also Thursday.
