Black students seized a classroom building on the Newark,
N.J. campus of Rutgers University and 200 Stillman College
pupils barricaded themselves in
a student union building in Tuscaloosa, Ala., as another week
of campus protests got under
way.
Elsewhere, student leaders demanded a voice in the selection
of a college president, foreshadowing possible new campus
demonstrations.
The eight or 10 black students
who seized a Rutgers building
were members of the Black Organization of Students, which
has been protesting university
admissions policies and admissions officers, both of which they
have called "racist."
Barricading themselves early
Monday and forcing classes to

be moved to other buildings, the
black students threatened to destroy the school's switchboard
communications "if the police
come."
They said they had enough
food inside the building for 10
days to two weeks "if properly

rationed."

One black student leader told
a rally outside the building Monday, "This university will not
function until the demands are
met even if it means bringing
the 250,000 black people of this
town down to this university."

Beck has said:
I think this problem represents our next important work.
We have to get out of that (commercial) theatre which caters to
the bourgeois elite which has
the habit and advantage of going
to the theatre today, the cultural
elite. That is, we have to get
out of that architecture; we have
to begin to get to those people
who are damage, repressed by
the whole system into believing
the theatre is not for them, that
they are too stupid to go, that
they cannot understand it. Our
work is to find them, to get
them and have a meaningful dialogue with them."
Suburban Ghettos
According to one's breadth of
inclusiveness, the "damaged"
ones are just as likely to be the
great mass of
in white American suburbs
as it is the black and poor stuck
in the urban slums. It is no longer
facetious to say that both segments of our people one in
misery, the other in boredom-dw- ell
in ghettos.
I hope that troupes like the
Becks' are up to the task, but I
am cynical enough to know that
it is a task too great to be done

And what is their effect on

Establishment?

The

Living Theatre played in New
York, Boston, Rochester and other
cities before coming to Chicago's
Hyde Park. In Boston, a riot
was almost created at the end of
Paradise Now when the cast,
stripped to the legal
bra limits, exhorted the audience
to go out with them and "free
the streets" as the cast had freed
the theater.
Paradise Now, as a result,
had been considered a success
there. People did things. Was
it successful in Chicago, where
it was too cold outside for anyone to demonstrate in the streets?
Temperature, temperament and
action: no dramatic criteria have
been developed to answer such a
question.
But, to go deeper, what of the
intention to destroy the audience's distance from the actors
in Paradise Now? Western man,
as McLuhan and N. O. Brown
believe, orders his power structures, perceptions and everyday
life in the same fashion his language is ordered, according to a
"subject-object- "
dichotomy, in
which the two are of necessity
two distinct entities. The subject
is not also the object in a
sentence; it is not in action.
This dichotomy has been attributed to the invention of the printing press, to the awareness of
sexuality (where the subject is
male and the object is female),
and other phenomena.
But the Living Theatre could

very well believe in a cosmology
which says all beings are aiming
at total awareness of a single
organism in which they are but
(Whitehead). In
components
such a cosmology, men are not
divided by real barriers, but by
illusory ones which conceal the
true nature of reality. Such a barrier is the habit of preferring
privacy or detachment to participation.
The spectator's anger is his
exorcism of inner tensions and
the beginning of his own revolt
against a powerful system which
constricts the outflow of his emotions, which restricts his freedom.
Judith Malina says: "It is going
to come out in great spurts of
emotional, psychosexual, political revolutionary diarrhea; and,
as in medicine when a person is
severely tied up this way, I would
consider that a very wholesome
effect."
Now. The BIG question: Does
it work? I am skeptical. Beck is
not worried if people are bored;
it's rather what he expected, he
would say. People were bored,
yes. But you can be bored just
as easily by staying home and
not seeing Paradise Now as you
can by attendingits performance.
As for the other emotions stirred up by the performance, can
they be harnessed into a real
revolutionary effort? Maybe they
can. But these emotions are

situations,
to say they end there. Is a man
in the audience so stupid that he
will participate in a great social
and political upheaval because
an actor got
with him and called him an unfeeling ass?
because, they might say, although he cannot logically relate
his anger in the theater to large-scal-e
revolution, he will have
broken the barriers, in expressing that anger, which had hitherto made him impotent and passive in responding to the System. '
man-toma-

Plastic Bag
But with a compassion for
the complexity of human beings
which I hope is akin to the Becks',
I wonder if the spectator is the
plastic bag (capable of being
filled up to a certain level, taut
enough to burst with the application of pressure) which the Becks
perhaps think he is.
A human observer, because
he knows he is watching a performance (something deliberated
upon and rehearsed by actors and
directors), is not merely caught
between socially imposed norms
on the one hand and emotions on
the other." Being intelligent, he
knows that an actor is an actor
(yes, even if the actor is black).
If he is bothered and uncomfortable when an actor shouts at
him, it is not simply because
he has a tolerance level which
is being approached with each
successive indignity.
It is also because he wants to
know what is the dramatically
suitable way to respond without hurting anyone; because he
wants to know what no one will
tell him what's he supposed to
do? What's his place in the script?
If they tell him, metaphorically,
that he must write his own script,

Movie Review

Cassavetes' 'Faces:' A Brilliant Nightmare Of Mental Nausea
By JACK LYNE
Kernel Arts Editor
"Faces" is a nightmare.
"Faces" is about things that
don't work-li- fe
styles, marriages, jokes, Joints, arms, legs,
organs.
"Faces" is a Kafkaesque pile
of psychic stench, portraying
eleven miserable people who
somehow never manage to bring
their open, angry wounds together for healing, who somehow talk to, scream at, paw,
push, bed down, and brutalize
each other without ever really
touching.
"Faces" is McCarthy, a
greasy, paunchy executive, fighting to keep his whore, turning
to her in his one moment of
honesty to babble, "All these
lousy years for a big house, a
big wife, and a kid who wears
tennis shoes," then mussing his
hair, rumplinghis clothes, pulling
out his shirt and down his zipper,
he bounces down a corridor,
raucously affecting satiated gaiety, anxious to convince his business partner of his nonexistent
sexual conquest.
Four Years Editing
"Faces" is the culmination
of
John Cassavetes' sedulous efforts, three and a
half months of snooting, four
years of splicing and editing.
Cassavetes has brought back
from the cutting room one hundred and twenty nine minutes of
horror. One hundred and twenty-nin- e
minutes of being alive.
He utilizes a deceptively innocuous, almost shopworn plot,
a
explosion of a fragile
conjugal gestalt, sending Richard
Forst out rummaging around for
play for pay, while Maria Forst
heads out to the local pub to pull
in a professional stud..
Using for the most part handheld cameras and harsh, hard
lighting, Cassavetes and photographer and Associate Producer
Al Ruban relentlessly follow the
action, focusing sharply and
closely on the features of the
cast, creating in the viewer an
Writer-Direct-

one-nig-

uneasy sense of closeness, a desire to stand back from these
rather average people who seem
much too much like you and me.
No Exit
However, the only egress left
open by Cassavetes and Ruban
is the Downtown Cinema's front
door, but the camera eye stays
at that seamy, sweaty,
distance, revealing each
twitching muscle, each facial
flaw.
Against the harsh, unyielding
realism of the camera work is
juxtaposed the meaningless rhetoric of Cassavetes' dialogue, conversation that is always believable, sometimes inaudible and often senseless. The way you and
I talk.
Though what they are saying and doing is intentionally
devoid of almost any feeling or
meaning, Cassavetes' cast turns
in an almost flawless performance. All purportedly agreed to
work without fixed salary, consenting to perform in Cassavetes'
experiment for
only a percentage of the film's
receipts, an almost unheard of
arrangement.
Cassel's Cameo
Their commitment is obvious.
Seymour Cassel's portrayal of
club hustler, is
Chet, the o
a magnificent cameo. John Mar-lewith a craggy roadmap of a
face, is quite effective in projecting Richard Forst' s jerking, ambivalent search for meaning.
Cena Rowlands (Cassavetes
wife) as Forst's whore and Lynn
Carlin as Maria Forst are equally
good and equally believable.
For that matter, the entire
work is much too believable for
comfort. The pace drags at just
such a humdrum, "believable"
rate in the early stages, lulling
the viewer into the offguard passivity inherent in viewing the
mundane.
From this blandness, howof
ever, comes the
"Faces," creating in the audience
a suspension of disbelief, an involuntary relinquishment of the
self-financ-

good-nature-

Indeed, you may find"Faces"
quite funny. Reactions to the
film have been remarkably diverse.

Forces Reexamination
More likely, however, you will
find yo ursel f di st u rbed wh en leaving "Faces." You may be quite
reluctant to talk to, much less
touch, another human being.
When you do, it will be with
perhaps more honesty than you
thought still possible, for"Faces"
forces reexamination, whether
you're sheathed in Villager or
army surplus, hooved in Bostoni-anso- r
boots.
John Cassavettes has barged
out past the danger signs on our
nerve endings, out to the edge
of the unspeakable, the unthinkable. He has brought back
brusquely and, yes, brutally,
barbs to tear off the artificial
fabric each man builds around
him, forcing one back down the
dark corridors of the mind, back
to that level we all at one time discover, a level that is our own
individual "truth," a level of
living that long ago proved much
too painful, much too vulnerable
to maintain.
Never fear, though, we won't
remain in that naked, dissonant
state long before again we're all

go-g- o

madly playing our games, mar
ning our defense mechanisms,
defying our personal gods, theorunning
rizing, rationalizing,
hard and fast from the often
inseparable nature of honesty and
pain.
But if you've played Cassavetes' game with him, "Faces"
will still remain tucked back in
the attic of the mind, like some
nauseated idiot child left to die
its mad death. This is a very
significant motion picture, but
one that part of the battered
self demands be shouldered back,
pushed down and smothered, for
"Faces" is a nightmare, and
therein lies its great value.

Those who do get violent and

histrionic raging people the
Living Theatre likes, but they
aren't the ones it wants to reach.
Some emotions are gut emotions
but, cursed as we are to be
intellectual as well as emotional
and visceral creatures, we will
always come out with those
dramatically ineffectual, embarrassing remarks and reactions
which can ward off or deflect
the Living Theatre's onslaught.
Frankenstein Monster
People are getting damned
clever and hin, each in his own
way, and they are hard to fool.
The mass media have accomplished that. We can keep our
cool; we can remain uninvolved;
we can stay insulated. Tragically,
we are not unlike the Frankenstein monster. We do not receive
a quantity of emotional and conceptual electricity which each of
us will one day exorcise in a
tumultuous revolution.
O: do we? If we do except
in more intricate and subtle ways
than I have given Beck credit
then we must
for prophesying
await an even grander exhibition of "symbology" and effort
from the Living Theatre to pro

rigid delineation between actor
and audience, a sluggish realization that what is happening on
the screen is no longer received
as some reflection of reality, having instead become that reality.
Laugh
In fact, the weekend's crowd
at the Downtown Cinema virtually became members of the
cast, laughing uneasily at their
fellow faces' frantic efforts at
creating some semblance of being
alive.

off a long, corny monologue of
bedroom jokes, trying to cover
with contrived mirth the abyss
between him andhisbunkmateof

however, and the assembly ended
up passing another bill asking students to submit the applications
on the earliest possible date to
register their displeasure with
forced housing.
Since then Dean of Students
Jack Hall has told dorm residents
that there is no such thing as an
earliest possible date for submitting
applications. Boycott supporters
have agreed by consensus, however,
that April 1 is to be the day applications should be submitted by
students wanting to register opposition to the new housing pol-

advance men arrange for a ban
on demonstrations during his visit
to West Germany.
It seems that our President is
worried about his personal safety,

reasons he wants to make his European tour is to sound out the pulse
of opinion among European people. This seems highly doubtful,
when along with his ludicrous
hand-picke- d
group teas, he does
not want to run the risk of bearing
the brunt of dissent in the street.

Student's Warning

To the Editor of the Kernel:
How much longer can one university,
so prestigious, and with such a moral
and academic responsibility, continue to
press the students echoes of condemnation and outrage beneath its bureaucratic thumbs of apathy and red tape?
The University is growing but in a
different direction than that of the students. The housing policy is, only smoke
where a fire is spontaneously crouching.
A head-ocollision is imminent unless
the administrators recognize the students
as a function of this huge machine they
run. Not just an incidental function that
the administration can replace when it
doesn't work right or wears out, but
