Applications and sign up sheets for
interviews for membership on the nine
Union committees are now available
through Friday at the Union desk.
The Current Affairs Committee,
headed by Janet Buehle'r, plans to work
toward offering opportunities for
students to get information on all facets
of campus, community and "national
issues.
The free flicks are scheduled by the
Film Committee, headed by Bruce
Young. In addition, special projects, such
as film festivals and Reel One film
competitions, are handled by the
committee.
The Drama Committee plans to
include a major production with an
outside director in the coming year. The
primary aim of the committee will be to
provide an opportunity for all students to
participate in the theatre, regardless of
past experience. Workshops have already
been planned with both professional
mime and dance companies. Ben
Cameron is chairman.
An expanding program to include a
greater spectrum of ideas and
personalities is the aim of the Forum
Committee, under Jim Conrad.
Literature, music, comedy, theatre and
sports are a few of the possible areas.
The Gallery Committee plans to
include more sculpture and craft, as well
as demonstrations, work shops and art
classes in the Union and the pit. Students
need not be art majors. The committee is
headed by Lynn Mercer.
The aim of the Music Committee is to
seek out student needs, evaluate musical
preferences for fulfilling those needs and
encourage participation as well as
attendance at the committee programs.
The committee, under Freddy Beaman, is
not responsible for the selection of major
concerts.
The Recreation Committee has been
responsible for such programs as game
tournaments and the Quiz Bowl. The
committee plans to expand its programs
as guided by the creativity of the
members. Scott Frazier heads the
V Chilli 11
committee.
The Social Committee is responsible
for the coffee house in Deep Jonah. The
committee plans to enlarge its activities
by offering a wider variety of
entertainment in Deep Jonah. Tony
Drazan is chairman.
The Special Projects Committee,
under Steve Janesick, is not bound to any
specifically delineated programs. Its
members will be able to direct their
creative ability within this freedom.
For further questions or further
information, please contact Betty
George, 1974-75 Union president, in
Suite A of the Union.
Sonny Terry and Brownie
LIcGhco
Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee are
singing the blues in concert, that is.
They will be appearing at 8 p.m.
Thursday, April 1 1 in Memorial Hall.
Tickets, $2, are available at the Union
desk.
Terry and McGhee, both North
Carolina natives, have been playing the
blues for over 37 years.
Their partnership started in 1950 at a
Leadbelly Memorial Concert, and
although they are friends and partners,
they go their separate ways, only coming
together to make music.
"It's an instinct it's truth," Brownie
says of the blues. "I've been lost, left out,
left behind, crossed-out, crossed-up,
double-crossed, mixed-up, false accused.
But I'm here to tell it myself. You can't
imagine the blues."
The concert is sponsored by the
Carolina Union, in cooperation with the
BSM Black Arts Festival.
Shakespeare-in-the-Pit
This month, the Pit will be more than a
short-cut to the Student Stores.
The Union and Laboratory Theatre are
resenting 7he laming of the Shrew,
described as a rollicking celebration of
love and love's confusion set in 1985, at
8:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday,
April 18-20, in the Pit.
Nancy Boykin plays Kate and Gordon
Ferguson plays Petruchio. Joseph
Coleman is director.

Trujrauton
Francois Truffaut's new film Day For
Night opens with a street scene and follows
two men walking through the crowds. They
meet and one slaps the other's face. Then a
voice yells "Cut! and it turns out the whole
thing is a scene from a movie.
Not a devastating surprise, but it indicates
the sense of playfulness that runs through the
entire movie. Truffaut has made a movie
about making movies and it is a complete
delight from beginning to end. He has a fine
sense for the beautiful and the absurd and his
old flair for sweepingly casual, off-hand
artistry is still intact.
It is not up to his best works such as Jules
and Jim or The 400 Blows, and indeed it may
be true that Truffaut will never go as far as it
once looked as though he would. But Day
For Night is his most successful work in
years because the love he put into it makes up
for the lack of any depth. He makes the
shooting of a film look like a lot more fun
than it probably is.
The company in the film are doing an
inconsequential little pot boiler called Meet
Pamela but Truffaut seems to feel no disdain
for it apparently any movie is worth
making to him. This is questionable logic in a
film full of curious reasoning: The romantic
subplot involving the two young stars of
Meet Pamela may serve to point out that life
really can be more banal than the movies,
but did it have to go on for so long?
At another point the film's director
comments on the death of one of his
company, an aging romantic idol. "Studio
movies died with Alexander. From now on
movies will be shot in the streets, with no
stars, with no scenarios. There will be no
more movies like Meet Pamela."
First off, I doubt the death of one actor
could signal the end of anything, particularly
not studio movies, and I also imagine that
there will always be movies like Meet
Pamela. The comment on the passing of
studio movies is also interesting because
fifteen years ago, as one of the New Wave of
French filmmakers, Truffaut helped to
popularize a newer, freer kind of directing,
sometimes running down the streets with a
cameraman and two actors and making up
the scenes as they wenbt along. Still, it is
understandable that he could feci nostalgia
for something whose end he helped to bring
about.
There are a large number of distinctive
and colorful characters in the cast, and by
the end we get the feeling that we know them
and share their sense of a common
experience. We are rushed along with them,
right up to the hurried goodbyes.
Truffaut himself plays the harried
director, who dreams repeatedly of the time
when as a boy he stole stills from Citizen
Kane from outside a theater. Jean Pierre
Leaud is the young love-struck actor who
goes around asking intently the question
"Are women magic?" Dani is the first object
of his affections, playing a roving script girl,
and the second is Jacqueline Bisset as a
somewhat neurotic film star. I'm afraid to
say that Bisset has finally been given a
reasonably good role but that even with a
good director she doesn't prove herself to be
much of an actress. Still, her beauty and
presence have never been used so
satisfactorily.
As two older stars of the picture. Jean
Pierre Aumond is the aging romantic idol
movies
with a secret (though not the one you might
think) and Valentine Cortese is the tipsy
Italian actress. She gives a delightfully comic
performance and the scene in which she
repeatedly blows a scene by opening the
wrong door could serve as a model for
realistic mercurial acting.
As usual, the music of Georges Delarue is
casually brilliant. Possibly the finest
musician working in films, Truffaut rightly
gives him a special tribute in the film. As in
Truffaut's Two English Girls there are
moments when I'm not sure whether what's
moving me is the film or simply the music.
Both Truffaut and Delarue are artists,
separately or together.
