Yet, to try to emulate Van Cliburn's fingers, even in one's own fantasy, would be a challenge for the most pro- ficient in illusion. Backstage after his performance here last night, Cliburn inter- twined his extraordinary long fingers and completely charmed the bevy of admirers crowding his dressing-room. Cliburn s t o o d straight and tall in white tie and tails, his blond-red hair cropped close, but curling to a crescendo atop his head. He smiled, spoke softly in faint- ly Southern-tinged tones, and turned away not even one of the many, many autograph-seekers without his signature. Turning toward this reporter, Cliburn spoke softly, choosing his words carefully. "Ah, music," he said, "music is like a. big canvas. It is scientific in . that you can only interpret what someone before you has pre- arranged. But besides being scien- tiffc, music is spiritual. Music is the most mysterious of God's gifts to the world. Unlike any of the other arts, you cannot see music, you can only hear it, feel it within you." As spiritually-inspired as Cli- burn's musical interpretations may be, the precise, scientific element of his art'is not lacking. Mr. Gail Rector, executive director of the University Musical Society, flew Def eret Requirement (Continued from Page 1) portant at this stage for he may certify the necessity for the stu- dent's continued deferment to the University's selective service coun- selor who then in turn informs the local draft board. In commenting about the stu- dents that he has talked to, Shaw has observed that the students are becoming more reluctant to drop courses or take fewer than 15 hours in a semester. The stu- dent is aware that if he must take a smaller load he should try to work out an extension program with his counselor in order to re- tain his deferment. Rules Change Basic rules concerning the draft and students seems to change from month to month and from board to board across the .country. For the best understanding in is de- ferment position, the. student is advised to talk. to his local draft board to receive direct informa- tion. At the University, "the counsel- ing office will give support to the student with acceptable reasons for -continued deferment," Shaw said, TON IGHT at The Villagers Singing Wild Songs In keeping with Winter Weekend there will be Small Stuff all over FREE Coffee, Tea Doughnuts Pink Lemonade in a Steinway piano the day of the performance in order that Cli- burn could select his instrument from three pianos which differed from one another slightly in tone. Cliburn listened as he played them, made his selection, and so acute is his ear, suggested that a piano-tuner repair one of the little felt hammers which was prevent- ing one of the strings from vibrat- ing properly. Cliburn had definite ideas con- cerning how he would allocate the $5 million recently appropriated by the federal government to aid the arts. "First," said Cliburn, "$5 mil- lion is not enough. I would give $1 million to each state to people with financial security, so that funds are not whittled away through salary payments. I would have these people give the money to orchestras, and also to small towns. My home town, Shreveport, La., for example, is a proud city and could use a sponsored program in order to buy a piano and pay travelling artists. "I feel," said Cliburn, "that there should always be an admis- sion charge to concerts, even 50 cents, so that people feel they have heard something special." Ann Arbor realized last night that it certainly did.

The film has English sub-titles. By DAVID KNOKE A ramshackle, low-slung sports convertible, top-up in the sunny weather of Midi France, putters its way down a country lane, a butterfly not streaming in the wind. Powerful black limousines kick dust clouds over it, sleeping dogs refuse to get up from the road to let it pass, cobblestones shake its delicate balance of bolts and nuts out of kilter. The jalopy groans to a stop in front of the Beach Hotel. A gaunt, disjointed stork steps out, accord- ian-like. Cinema goers who saw "Mon Oncle" last semester will recognize him immediately - its Jacques Tati starring in "Mr. Hu- lot's Holiady." "Don't look for a plot for a holi- day is purely for fun," the pro- logue has warned. It's true. "Holi- day" starts as a string of pan- tomimed vignettes, a semblance of disorder, but the in actuality sep- arate parts creating a unified film. Hulot-Tati makes this make-be- lieve world function and he does it with such naturalness that the audience can suspend credulity and enjoy, enjoy. Hulot's walk gives him away at any distance. His jaunty steps and ambulatory shuffling give him the aspect of a tin man in need of a good oiling. He stumbles over his own feet carrying a lady's bag- gage; yet he waltzes impeccably. He warms up to his tennis serve with a motion as if he were flip- ping pancakes; yet his deliveries come in with baffling speed and accuracy. In Hulot's mad universe, he is unaware of any difference between the mundane and the unexpected. His gentle, sheep-dog bumbling is infectious. Waiters, tourists and beachcombers stopping to gawk at his lank absurdity accidentally commit faux pas of their own. Through all the commotion he causes, Hulot preserves his inno- cence intact. PH. 482-2056 AmE OnCARPENTERROAD FREE IN-CAR HEATERS Tati's comedy is subtle; much of the humor develops from the sort of socially embarrassing sit- uations in which everyone dreads to find himself. What happens, for instance, when your car runs out of gas in a cemetery with a funeral going on and an attendant mistakes your spare tire for a funeral wreath? Or what could you do about a lighted flare that gets loose in a fireworks shed and sets everything off? Tati, conceiv- ing the role of Hulot as a modern middle-class Everyman, doesn't let anything phase him. The beach is the backdrop for a Human Comedy, a morality play in which the silent pomposities, snobberies, and gaucheries of the tourists speak louder than words. An elderly peripatetic English couple parade daily through the screen, the henpecked husband following a distance behind. When he stops to stare at some pretty bikinied thing, his wife snaps him from his reverie with a curt, "Henry! Come on." But at the end of the holiday, when the de- parting guests all snub Hulot, the old fellow sneaks away from his wife long enough to wring Hulot's hand and thank him for a most memorable time. Indeed it is.
