Letters In the RISD Press issue of

6 December,1974,inthe article "Pres. on the Pres.",no men­tion is made of that which many feel to be one of Talbot Rantoul's finest accomplish­ments as President of RISD. I refer to the preservation and restoration of the John Car­ter Brown Woods-Peter Goelet Gerry house. While it is known that this was a coordinated group effort involving stu­dents ,faculty,administration, trustees,and others,it may not be generally realized by all of today's RISD community that without Talbot Rantoul the job might well have not been done. His personal support for,and official promotion of this pro­ject have created much good will in the community. The building stands renewed,there is the opportunity to view the work of students and faculty of the college,and the archi­tectural amenities of the im­mediate area are preserved.All who participated in this pro­ject can consider the results with pride and pleasure,and,in a very personal sense,the vic­tory is to Talbot Rantoul.

will use .Shakespearean scenes in contemporary settings to illuminate contemporary social issues. The total presentation, intended for civic,school,and senior citizens groups through­out the state,will incorporate discussion periods with audi­ence participation. Actors and artistic personnel

will be directed by Mr. Colon­na. Prof. Jungels will be film director. RISD instructor Peter O'Neil is to be head cameraman. Prof. Bailey will provide com­mentary and communications as­sistance. Production will be­gin in January and is expected to take six months.

Editor's Note

With the introduction of this new publication we would like to emphasize the importance of having an entertaining, provocative and communicative source such as Express-0. This visual presentation will hopefully encourage more people to work with us in creating a powerful means of expression.

Thompson,Woods-Gerry,President.

ALL MEMBERS URGED TO ATTEND SEARCH COMMITTEE VISITORS NEXT WEEK.

I A

Ben Thompson Ben Thompson and crew arrived in Providence this Wednesday to present a major design scheme for the Centennial Bldg. to the building committee. The design had been totally revised just the day before and the office worked en charrette through the night to produce sections, plans and a rough model that convinced the build­ing committee that they're looking safely over 3 million dollars for construction. And with no money in the coffer. Since last reported, before

Thompson gave a general pres­entation of his work in the auditorium, he has met once with a small group of students representing various depart­ments and twice with the build­ing committee. Besides the rough block models he showed in the auditorium he has done many study drawings, partic­ularly sections, to better un­derstand the complicated floor level relationships of the existing buildings. The build­ing committee was getting restless, in fact, and in the last meeting handed down some simplifications they had a-greed upon, such as 8000 sq. ft, that will indeed be devoted to circulation. And among several other obscure comments of the same nature, the decision was made that the Bank Bldg. will depart. Miserbile dictu, she has served the painters well but is an impediment to straight ening out the circulation prob­lem. So Thompson's new scheme in­

volves the larger site and creates some rather exciting spaces in it. Due to the late hour there were no drawings or photos for publication so I have done a quick sketch show­ing roughly the main entrances level. This is at the 2nd. fl. level of Metcalf which corres­ponds almost exactly with the 3rd. level of the College Bldg. And therein lies one of the main points of the scheme: that each floor of the new 41/2 story design can connect directly to floors in Metcalf and College Bldg. and up half a flight to floors in Mem. Hall. The dotted lines show where each floor will be connected by an enclosed bridge to the surrounding bldgs. possibly including a bridge

from Metcalf across the street to the Auditorium in the future, The design includes closing

off the street between Market and the Aud. and creating a plaza there. This move will have to be approved by the city first but Thompson is confident and has built some of the de­sign aspects around it. Across the street from the plaza is an open pocket of space, the mouth of what Ben calls the campus street. It's an long outdoor space that rises from North Main along the backside of College Bldg. expanding and contracting(don't trust the drawing)and breaking through to Benifit at the narrow pass which is now just a wall. At the archway through College

bldg. it opens up in a small plaza where the only entrance to the building opens into the exhibition space and a 200 seat lecture space. This plaza could be used in good weather as an extension of the exhibit space or the snack bar which is just 1/2 flight up in Mem. Hall. The entrance would be­come a door to the whole block of buildings providing the security which relax the pres­ent midnight curfew. The lecture hall is just the

size for all the events now dwarfed by the aud. including films.guest lectures, classes, large presentation crits and, because it abuts the museum storage, could provide the long awaited space for quick class-oriented museum displays, (p. 4)

(con't from p.3) This hall would have flexible or two for the presentation to walls that could open up for the committee. Perhaps at that large events.

is the street level which in-* eludes museum and general stor­age, a central loading dock for all deliveries to Mem Hall and general use. There is general studio space probably suitable for sculpture and an outdoor court(crosshatched on drawing) sunk slightly below street level for exhibits or work.

Showtime Once again the F.ISD Tappers

All-Tap Review brought down the house as they tapped their way to standing ovations on both Friday and Saturday nights. Showtime was 8:00 p.m. The

crowd got comfortable. The lights dimmed. The music be­gan with the swingtime kick-off beat of Hapipy Feet;Frankie Trumbauer and His Orchestra.

Enter two pair of happy feet and two smiling faces attached to one:(Fred Astaire)Brian Jones,and two(Ginger Rogers) April Peters. The show,choreographed by

Brian,became a terpsichorean delight for many as the pink flamingos tapped their way on stage like newly born birdies trying to fly. Voices of Spring was a lesson in flying^or some who made their renowni debut on such a celebrated night.

We sat through every minute of Blue Skies,Flirtation Rag, Boogie Woogie and Opus One 'with plenty of time to spare for a gratifying encore.

The weekend show was had with great enthusiasm,in fact, the F.ISD Auditorium hadn't been that full since Tom Wolfe spoke to us this past summer.

T'was a great show,Brian, April,and Tappers.

wite on wite Historical Biographies-Part I Sence Pazst

Sence came back today,after a lifetime of restless list-lessness.He was born in a house where questions were sel­dom asked,and never answered. He grew up in the same five rooms,sometimes wondering what lay outside them but promptly forgetting what it was he was just thinking about. After a very slow career with

tutors,grandmothers,aunts,sis­ters, maids and assorted decrep­it wigged bridge-fiends he was shot into another continent. From there on his life became obscure to all but his music teacher,from whom he learned nothing,and his second and on­ly permanent love,who never learned anything from him. It was at that point that

he set about trying to forget his love by reversing his sur­roundings every three seasons, his biggest obstacle being that he could not go anywhere with­out wanting to be somewhere else. For several years he was lost

complete track of,except for one instance in which he was seen in a Calais gutter,and another a week and a half la­ter in which he knocked on his lost love's door,kissed her and promptly ran off into the night,only to be struck by a passing taxi. He obtained a Bachelor's

degree in Pretending after seven years at the Hillside Polytechnic(his longest sin­gle stay in one place)and re­sumed his travels after de­positing his blanket and his typewriter at a dill-weed farm in New Mazombique. It was on that farm that he

settled down permanently af­ter twelve years,five mar­riages, three divorces and two vasectomies.He appeared today at the door of his lost love, cried "You're killing me" and fell dead in her arms,appar­ently from over-eating.

By his own wish he will be buried tomorrow next to Sam­uel Clemens,in a soundproof telephone booth with a perpet­ually ringing telephone.May his soul rest in peace.

Mr. and Mrs.Clavenna of North Italy have been imprisoned for keeping their eighty-year old uncle chained to the garden steps for a year. Explaining his action,Mr.Clavenna said: "We did it for his own good. His eyesight is very poor and he might have eaten some of our fruit from the orchard."

Theater Don't Look Up(stairs)/ Look Down at Trinity this week.

Adrian, a mistake at last.

Clive Barnes of the New York Times once said that "Adrin Hall never makes a mistake". He may regret that statement. I searched for explanations

and excuses for the thundering calamity which struck Trinty Square's Upstairs theatre. A-drian Hall and Richard Cumming didn't believe their own proud praise of playwright Henrik Is-ben and proceeded to siphon out all the drama from Isben's "Peer Gynt"(pronounced "pair"). Hall and Cumming claim that

when they studied the Christopher Frye translation of Isben's work they found it "moving, but too long and too poetic." In the Hall/Cumming version, all that is left is the"too long':two horrendously long and screeching acts of balderdash. Television viewers are accust­

omed to the technique of the modern scriptwriter who trans­forms worthwhile subjects into "just entertainment." Hall and Cumming belong to that television crowd for whom the first priority is entertainment. Don't offend our intelligences sirs, we won't go away angry if we think a bit on our own!

"Peer Gynt"

production had a few moments which captured the imaginations of the audience. Significantly, these elements carried Isben's central themes: Ego,Id,Oedipus Complex,mother fixation, and the duality of the eye. It's all there in Peer Gynt, poor chap. It is no wonder that Isben was Freud's favorite playwright. In the second act, that char-

actor so obviously theatrically psychoanalysed, stops develop­ing, and theplot tries to take over. The production loses all subtlety in favor of burlesque razzle-dazzle-dooda-day. I might add a psychoanalytic note on the audience: Peer in the second act is middle aged, and the majority of opening night's theatre-goers identified with his struggle against time and money. I was bored.

small playhouse, is alot of play: "Jumpers", by Tom Stoppard("Rosen-crantz and Guilderstein Are Dead", "The Real Inspector Hound"). Ward Baker is the successful director (RISD's own Dana Duke is the of­ficial photographer- he has a small display in the lobby.) "Jumpers" presents a world where academic philosophers become ac­robats both in thought and deed. Stoppard proves himself to be the acrobat par excellence and handles with the greatest of ease the games within games; games with words, situations, charactors, with the audience and with the sacred world of academia.

"Man- Good, Bad, or Indiffer­ent" is the subject of the lecture being prepared by the main char­acter, George Moore, a Professor of Moral Philosophy (a demanding role with lots of jumping).

Sets and costumes were outstand-This lecture is only a trillion ing, and overwhelming; the music a la Lombardo as well as the rest of the new version was decidly underwhelming. We, the audience, who patiently

sat through painful parodies, and dull half-hours, thirsting

SILVER SCREEN Controversy Anyone?

Lacombe, Lucien, by Louis Malle, with Pierre Blaise and Aurore Clement

Films about controversy, specif- . ically that of Germany and France in World War 11 have been much in vogue in the last several years. The two that come to mind are undeniable master­pieces. The first is Alain Res-nais' Night In Fog with its masterful use of newsreels;the tracking shots and the use of both color and black and white. The latter is the Marcel Ophuls 4J5 hour documentary on the German occupation of Cler-ment-Ferrand France, The Sorrow and the Pity. The newest film in this series is Louis Malle's Lacombe, Lucien. Louis Malle is one of an end­

less line of French New Wave directors(like Agnes Varda, Francois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Go-dard, Claude Chabrol, Jacques Rivette, Alain Resnais...)that have each broken records with their style, their controversy or their box office success. Louis Malle's films fall into the catagory of both controversy, stagnant realism and photographic beauty. Malle has several times filmed the unfilmable. The beauty of an organism, Les Amants, a nine hour documentary on In­dia, Phantom India, and a por­trait of incest, Murmer of the Heart. Malle also(like Truffaut) has recently been noted for his beautiful films on childhood and his magnificent performances by child actors. These films include Zazie Dans le Metro, Murmer of the -Heart and,most re­cently Lacombe, Lucien.

Lacombe, Lucien is the story of a 17 year old boyt living in German occupied southern France in 1944. Bored with his job in a nursing home, he tries to join the French underground and is rejected. As one example of Lu­cien 's childishness and spontin-. eity, he willingly gets involved with the German army and thus becomes an officer. To add to a "rather complicated" situation Lucien falls in love with a Jew­ish girl and thus becomes a patron to both sides of the war. Malle has shown us a portrait

of Lucien as neither a friend or an enemy. There is even the question presented by the surviv­al of the French citizen. Malle constantly brings up the point in the film: in the same situa­tion would we do the same? When we see a school teacher being tortured and a beautiful young Jewish girl being harrased our answer might be yes. We are constantly shown how­

ever that Lucien is in water over his head and that he can hardlf swim. I.ucien is presented as a child, he prefers to shoot rabbits instead of people and later in the film he shoots one of his own officers. Malle accentuates this by cutting from heated situations to aerial shots of the French countryside. From Malle's magnificent direct­

ing of Lucien to Pierre Blaises' and Aurore Clement's performances, Lacombe, Lucien is a magnificent tour-de-force. Malle has strip­ped away the frosting and left us the crumbs of a cake to nibble on. That is just what is shown. All of the situations presented lead us to almost no conclusions, just alot of questions.

lacolamitee noel pas "fashionette'" RISD

Robe dans la mode de Mme. Gres

The press was there! In response to the inflation-

recession mood this season, the Fashion Department Christmas Ball was held in the RISD Re­fectory, as opposed to a lavish Providence Hotel Ballroom. The simple decor was done in last minute chic, as were many of the guests, but the evening was filled with excitement Snd utter decadence, as is true of so many of the RISD (after dark)af­fairs . The guest list included person­

alities from all over the globe-from the sin and sun of Southern Ohio and the nightclub atmos­phere of Woonsocket . Name-droppers were ousy dropping names, and anyone-who-is-anyone was there, including the famousflTSD Pussy Pack and other assorted B.P.'s. In between the latest disco sounds, the Brown Dance Band thrilled the jitterbug crowd with the best in swing. But the refreshments made the evening a real success- three drinks per ticket.

Amongst the crowd could be seen the most(avant-garde)cost­umes this side of the Seekonk River. The most memorable in­cluded a lacy(ready-for-sleep look- really tired), a(satin brocade early 60's)number com­plete with (side-slit)and(chain purse)and a fashion Forcast Scoop- a(white-afro-puff wig). Many formal looks were also spotted-basic black, tuxedos, and of course the usual Trendy Deco and 40's Revival-Chic. Spike heels and cigarette hold­ers were a real must for the event. All in all,(la grande soiree)

was a smashing success and the holiday airs persisted for days. Although few Fashoin-ettes were actually involved, the department can be pleased with the turnout. I'm sure they're already busily planning for next year's Gala event, which should prove to be even more glamorous than this year's Big Party.

Work Description

$60,000 milkshake

Perhaps the sad state of af­fairs in the Snack Bar was brilliantly summed up as Mr. Kirschenbaum upon purchasing a 60 cent milkshake which filled a 6 oz cup with some to spare,had to purchase a second cup and lid for the some to spare.

When it comes to the weekend or the dinner you wanted to have "out" after slaving over Campbells soup,psghetti,Chick­en 0' the Sea,and eggs any style all week,and you reach into your linty pockets to find just some petty cash,(a couple of coins and maybe the buck you were saving for a beer^you might rethink the past week's monetary expendi­tures and discover that alas, it is the Snack Bar which has been semi-responsible for the sad state of your economic status. When hot chocolate is a quar­

ter for a cup the likes of which could be categorically designated as "Dixie", how can we expect the small,wayfaring youth who meanders into the School of Design Snack Bar in hopes of satiating the yearn of the sweet tooth,as well as the bellyjto come up with that kind of cash? And caffeine freaks who gotta have that 30 cent shot should not be charged for their handicap- when coffee is as weak as the faintly dis-cernable bands of Brazil^ they really ought to cut us a break. And when you contemplate put­ting an ice cube in your coke because it will take up too much space in the cup(about five cents worth from a fif­teen cent cup)... And that out­rageously priced carrot that even Bugs would pass up(let alone Peter,or for those of us that know him,Tailgait)... Anyway,if ya share the grief

maybe a boycott's the answer? Ehh? The interested,the con­cerned, and the broke(who occa­sionally feel like having a bite at school instead of walk­ing back to the abode)please jot down your name and/or box number on the list posted in the Mailroom so we know what we have to work with. Hot dogI
