rAGE FOUR UUB Publication Set For Distribution Soon By KITTY PHILBIN Collegian Staff Writer The University Union Board announced Wednesday night that its new publication, Montage, will appear Monday. The UUB also announced that the rock music group, "The Dells," have been contracted to appear at the Ice Pavilion May 31. UUB President Pete Sidle explained that Montage will replace the defunct HUB Arts Review. Montage will retain many of the fea tures of the Arts Review, including the calen dar of campus cultural events and reviews of student theatrical productions. New elements will include interviews with campus leaders, in depth analyses of campus happenings and editorial comments on campus and national events, according to Sidle. Committees Revamped Montage emerged from the revamping of the HUB Committees last term, when the present DUB title originated. Sidle replaced Committees president Tom Becker as head of the new UTJB. The Board differs from the old HUB Committees in structure, personnel, philoso phy and programs, according to Sidle. Its first effort was the "Magnificent Men" jam my last term, followed by a program of Vietnam speakers, including Philip Drath, Kenneth Armstrong and Sen. Wayne Morse. (Sen. Morse was co-sponsored by the Faculty Peace Forum.) Sidle said that the success of these ef forts prompted the Board to form a perma 'Kinetic Art' Film Success Without Plot or Character (Editor's Note: This is the second and final part of a series on the short film. In Wed nesday's Collegian, Film Critic Seydor briefly traced the history of the short film. The stories were inspired by the Cinema X production "The Kinetic Art," a series of 26 short films. Part Two of "The Kinetic Art," will be shown at 730 tonight in Forum. Part Three will be shown next Wednesday, Thurs day and Friday.) By PAUL SEYDOR Like those piano exercises which are musically nil but practically invaluable for a student, film shorts can serve as labora tories for a director who wants to work out rhythmic problems, devise different photo graphic methods, play with the interrelateva of pictures and sounds. This, it seems, is what many of the di rectors have done in "The Kinetic Art." Moreover, they have successfully shown, in a limited way, that plot and char acter development can be ignored. Thus, "La Plomme," by Charles Matton, of Paris, is an inspired evocation of how a painter views life around him. The flow is lyrical, the photography soft and mellow. The film is a beautiful study of the human figure in action, sometimes fast, other times in slow motion, melting it into the artist's sketches only to bring it to life again— and so on and on in a gracefully-cyclical juxtaposition of drawings and photography. Jordon Belson's (San Francisco) "Phe nomena" is,'in a word, phantasmagoric. The film is a kaleidoscopic array of constantly shifting patterns of colors, achieved entirely through photography. The visual effect is simply stunning, as psychedelic streams of color coalesce into fleeting images. At one.point, as a gaseous mist of pastel blue whirls into a fierce magenta ball, you would swear you are witnessing the creation of the world. At another point, I thought the patterns assumed shapes of many bomb shells, which dissolved into a crowd of peo ple, who then disintegrated into a flaming cloud. Armageddon? In "Elegis," by Zoltan Huszarik (Buda pest), a herd of wild horses is captured: some are trained, others are slaughtered.

' A Jimmy Committee has been developed from the old Social Committee with the re sponsibility of orientation week jammies, HUB jammies during the term and big name group appearances in Recreation Building. "The Dells" will appear under the work ings of this committee. The group's sound has been described as similar to the Four Tops, and they currently have a record, "Wear It on Your Face," on the top ten list in State College. Other Programs Othek programs sponsored by the HUB include Nickelodeon Nites and special events of "unusual" interest. These include plans for a cider chug, a 50-mile hike Spring Term, and a turtle or hamster race in the next year. Sidle said that suggestions from students and faculty on improved or new programs are always welcome. A recruiting program for new members is, being planned presently. Applications may be made by anyone in the University, either to help with the func tions of the HUB or in the production of Montage. Interested persons should contact Sidle.

Foster Ave. appears to be a chilling metaphor symbol izing man's destructive nature. But, of great er importance. it is an exercise in cinematic rhythm, in which the deft integration of camera angles, editing, slow motion, sound, and photography produces a rising line of tension that begins easily, accelerates grad ually. and rushes finally and frenetically into a head-long prestisszmo. I have singled out these films not only because they impress me as the most suc cessful, but also because they prove a point. Their impact arises from their brevity; each has been precisely timed for maximum ef fect. Ninety minutes. of "La Plomme" would be tedious; one tenth of that is anything but. Thus, while admitting that abandonment of plot and character development has made for superb results here, I refer you to "La Dolce Vita" to see the disastrous conse quences of a director indulging in technical experimentation for three hours. Perhaps the most enlightening aspect. of "The Kinetic Art" films so far is that sev eral directors have illustrated the viability of the short-subject for dramatic content. "La Vita" ("Life in A Tin Can"), by Bruno Bozetto of Milan, is an utterly delightful cartoon, exposing the human condition in about five minutes. The film depicts, bereft of dialogue, the saga of a sympathetic little guy whose dreams of earthly tranquillity are continually interrupted by the workaday routines society demands. Only in death does he find peace. "Cruel Diagonals," by Vlatko Filipovic of Sarajevo. is a powerful and. heartbreaking tale set in World War 11, telling of a small boy's introduction to the privation of war. Not all the films in Program One are as fine as those mentioned. Some are pre tentious, a couple are dull, one is down right moronic. But others, especially those cited, are undeniably minor masterpieces of filmic craftsmanship. A recommendation, then: If you're look ing for a really exotic evening for you and your date, why not give "The Kinetic Art" a try this week and next? I can't guarantee tropical sands and Polynesian dancing-girls, but I can guarantee a• fascinating, intriguing, entertaining, and, at the' very least, interest ing hour and 45 minutes.

Growing out of a draft- forum held in Schwab early this term, the draft reform move ment is not advocating resistance of the draft, but rather a change from the presen' draft law to the lottery'system, first presented to Congress by Sen. Edward Kennedy. The draft reform will be circulating a petition on campus next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The group expects 10,000 signatures. Petitions will be circulated in the residence halls, fraternities and downtown. There will also be a booth in the Bezel Union Building and at the foot of the Mall. The draft reform group has received excellent cooper ation from all areas of the student government. The Under graduate Student Government, Graduate Student Assoccia tion, Men's Residence Council, Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Council, and Association of Women Students have all given their full support to the group and its peti tion. WDFM To Present Program Next Thursday night WDFM radio will broadcast a discussion program on the draft reform group and the petition. Featured on the program will be Bernard Hen nesey, chairman of the department of political science, and Frederick Jones, chairman of the committee. The group hopes . that the petition will be the start of a national student and faculty movement protesting the draft laws and calling for the passage of the Kennedy bill. Jones said, "The draft reform is something that is very necessary, and we at Penn State want to start the ball rolling. The University, with a move like this, can emerge as a leader among universities, and we call upon all students for their cooperation. ~ 'Believe Government Deaf to Reason' "Students across the 'nation are apathetic and frus trated because they believe the government is deaf to reason, and cannot be changed or appealed to. "We hope that Penn State's demands will show that the government can be reached. "This petition offers an alternative to frustration and futility. This type of organized student action can serve as an example of the positive things that can be accom plished by student bodies." Free Parking Lot at Rear FRIDAY, • MAY 17, 1968
