PAGE TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY . FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1966 L, , : PAGZ TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1966 FILMS Our Man Flint: A Spy Spoof Technically Better Than Bond MUSIC Ensemble Gives Concert In Historical Accuracy -- -oo UJAC-CRtEATIVE ARTS FESTIVAL TOMORROW ARCHIE SHEPP QUARTET 8:00--TRUEBLOOD AUDITORIUM-$1.75 at the door Jazz's most important and controversial new star By HUGH HOLLAND If you haven't guessed, it's the year of the spy-flicks. Whether the popularity of this fad is any indication of a nation's subcon- scious attempt to understand, avoid, escape or participate in the ever-increasing warmth of the cold war, is a point to ponder. Be- cause of what James (Bond varie- ty) started, James (Coburn this time) *manages to carry on quite well. "Our Man Flint," like "The Sil- encers," is a spoof on, and a part of, the spy-flick fad. Flint is the ultimate in spy perfection. He is only at the service of the Presi- dent anld, even then, only at Flint's own discretion. Further, there seems to be lit- tIe Flint doesn't know or can't do. As for gimmicks-there is that fantastic little lighter that has been so well advertised. However, of its 82 proclaimed uses, only 15 show up in the film. But have faith dear viewer, our man Flint must return, and then 67 other uses will obviously appear. Our man Flint also satisfies the good red - blooded - all - Ameri- can-boy lust image with not one but three (count 'em, three) beau- tiful bodies living with him. And naturally, by the end of the adven- ture he adds a fourth. So, let's see, that takes care of sex, sensationalism, sensuality and sarcasm. What's left is the big S for the spy recipe, sadism. "Our Man Flint" satisfies those typical American yearnings with a few very healthy fights (includ- ing one in a John which should be seen to be believed) and one very sick "conditioned paradise." The spoof in "Our Man Flint" is of times very clever (the great boullabaise hunt, the 007 fight) and generally very funny. Much is heavy-handed, with Coburn's cool; suave, panther-like ability, it real- ly doesn't seem to matter. It doesn't even matter that tech- nically "Our Man Flint" is much better than both of the last two Bond films. All that really does matter is that "Our Man Flint" is a very funny flick. Students Seem Unaware Of U Placement Service By JOEL DORFF The Career Counseling Service, one of the four primary divisions of the Bureau of Appointments of the University, renders aid to stu- dents who are undecided about their future. Unfortunately, the majority of the student body is unaware of the services offered to the individ- ual student by this agency. Ac- cording to a high official of the Bureau of Appointments, this Agency is primarily concerned with students who have doubts about their future vocation or are un- aware of the requirements of their prospective careers. This agency; which is open to all undergraduates, sets up inter- views with prospective employers, offers valuable suggestions to in- quiring students, and distributes information pamphlets to all in- terested inquirers. Draft Causes Vacancies Because of the steadily increas- ing draft requirements there are numerous positions waiting to be filled and interested employers are even speaking to draft-elegible men. Often these employers will hire men for as little as a month or two, with the intention of re- hiring them when their military service is over. Many interesting and varied jobs are brought to the student's atten- tion through this bureau such as medical training librarians and textbook salesmen which are pres- ently in great demand. Textbook Sales The job of selling textbooks is, an especially attractive one for college graduates; it caters to those individuals who find the univer- sity atmosphere alluring, but are not academically inclined enough to become professors. Although 681 students were plac- ed in positions by this agency last year, many students do not util- ize the numerous, facilities of this bureau. This is unfortunate, be- cause the services rendered by this bureau are only part of the over- all services offered by the Univer- sity and there is no extra charge for counseling advice. By JEFFREY K. CHASE s Program Vivaldi ... "The Four Seasons" from Op. 8 Pergolesi . . . Concertino No. 4j in F minor for strings Rossini . . . Third Sonata for9 Strings in C major, Style of musical performance is" for many people just as important' as the music being performed. I' Solisti Veneti embued the music they played Wednesday evening' in Rackham with an historical accuracy too rarely encountered in professional ensembles. The Point? What is the point of perform- ing all music with the nineteenth century "Romantic" ideal? Vivaldi: or Bach, or Mozart, etc. had no idea of what things would be like many years hence; consequently a performer should be criticized at least as much for bad stylistic perspective as for missing notes. Performers can get away with the bad style more readily, however, because most of the time audiences don't really care what they listen to as long as it sounds nice to them; a wrong note is much more easily detected by the lethargic ear. I Solisti Veneti and Claudio Sci- mone, conductor, showed in their playing a knowledge of the per- formance practices of each of the eras in which the compositions were created. In "The Four Sea- sons" they accomplished the pas- sagework with the middle of the bow and always used the on-the- string method of playing which is characteristic of the Baroque. Their vibrato was not one which surrounded the pitch with pathos and "feeling," but one which var- ied the intensity of the' sound without altering the tone. Styles Change By the time Rossini was writ- ing music, styles had changed, and this was evidenced in their play- ing. Among others, gradual chang- es of dynamics rather than sud- denly switching from loud to soft a chromatic vibrato, and the use of the whole bow, created quite a different effect. Thus, monotony was avoided by legitimately instill- ing greater variety into the play- ing. Texture and Balance Ritards at the ends of move- ments were not always smooth and tempo changes within a movement were often awkward, but texture and balance of the musical strands found their proper perspective. The loud passages did not have to sound strained because the soft portions were so beautifully deli- cate-a characteristic found in few performing groups. These 13 musicians showed what can be done with good music and the right approach. The audience was appreciative.

I think the Negro people through the force of their struggles are the only hope of saving America, the political or the cultural America."-Archie Shepp. " Also panel discussion, 3:00, UGLI " JAM SESSION, 10:30, VFW Hall, 314 E.
