L.7U 1 t FILMS Hollywood Leaves 'How To Succeed' Play Basically Unchanged for Excellent Film Job Corps Statisticians Quote 70 Pct. Efficiency Regents Selection Pleases Faculty and Administration By CHARLES TROY "How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying" is an ex- ample of that surprising new mo- tion picture breed: the well-filmed musical comedy. Time was when the transcon- tinental voyage from New York to Hollywood would leave a hit show scarred and hitless in the wake of filmdom's foolish tampering. But the Oscars and acclaim for "West Side Story," "My Fair Lady," and "The Sound of Music" in recent years have changed all that. "How to Succeed" is in some ways even better than its Broadway model. Of course, some songs and dances have been sacrificed (in- cluding, inexplicably, the hilarious production number, "C o f f e e VERBOSITY REIGNS: Fine Generation Needs P roof readers, Editing Break") to the cause of developing the love story. In most cases, the songs were weak anyway, and as a result of the new emphasis, J. Pierpont Finch's mixture of cun- ning and heart seems far more ac- ceptable than it was originally. Briefly, the story of "How to Succeed" concerns a young dy- namo, Finch, who aspires to rise to the top of the corporate tree in the World Wide Wicket Com- pany. As a guide, he relies on a little book entitled, appropriately enough, "How to Succeed in Busi- ness without Really Trying," whose credo is so venal that Jay Gould would have blushed for shame to read it. In the course of Finch's meteoric ascendency (you would swear it happens in less than a week!) from window-wash- er to chairman of the board, he acquires a girlfriend, a nepotistic rival, and a wild succession of hobbies, interests, and back- grounds calculated to melt the heart of the coldest executive. Frank Loesser's score is certain- ly not up to his "Guys and Dolls". best, but the songs that remain are ingratiatirg, tuneful, and wit- tily attuned to the situtation. Par- tially because of this integration, "Brotherhood of Man" and "I Be- lieve in You" are the only two that have become even moderately suc- cessful outside the show, and both are performed well in the movie version. In fact, the latter is even im- proved upon, since Rosemary sings her reprise of' it (1) to Finch, not alone, and (2) before Finch ren- ders it himself in the executive washroom. The reverse treatment gives this brilliantly satirical song even more bite than its first pos- sessed. Repeating his stage triumph, Robert Morse brilliantly embel- lishes his portrayal of Finch and makes narcissism seem the most desirable trait of the year. Rudy Vallee is a carryover as J. B. Bigg- ley, and thank goodness, for the part was made for him. Michele Lee, a newcomer as Rosemary, uses her wonderfully warm, charm and beauty to make Finchs girl much more than a mere caricature. Anthony Teague plays the namy-pamby nephew with competence, but he some- times becomes almost silly.in his determination not to appear sin- ister. David Swift, as director-adap- tor, faced the problem of how to be faithful to an indoor, one- locale show and not have the re- sult seem like a photographed play. His solution was inevitable: shot after shot of the Manhatten skyline we've gaped at many times. The State Theatre, playing its second recent Soph Show subject in less than a month, should be immediately besieged by all classes. WASHINGTON (;P) - Statistics of the Job Corps showed yesterday= it has a 70 per cent efficiency rat- ing on its job - getting school dropouts off the do-nothing road. The figures: As of the end of February, 64,- 878 young men and women had been in the Job Corps for varying lengths of time, some only for a week or so, since it began in Jan- uary 1965. Of the total, 45,415, or some 70 per cent, were doing something. Some 76 per cent of these had a job, 14 per cent had returned to school and 10 per cent had joined the military services. Some 33,000 now are enrolled in 115 Job Corps centers. They are 16 to 22 years of age, are free to leave when they wish but may stay as long as two years. Most of them finish a skill training pro- gram in about nine months. Behind the statistics there are individuals with success stories and there are disappointments, boys who expected a job at $2.50 an hour and had to settle for $1.25. There are some who haven't found a job. "We're making a concerted ef- fort, every effort to place them," Job Corps Director William Kelly said in an interview. One of the problems, Kelly said, is that many of the Job Corps graduates still are just 16 and 17 years old, aigd this creates a prob- lem with work laws and insurance. There's the boy who told a re- porter he liked the Job Corps "but they've got to stop filling corps- men's heads with all that jive like you can demand your wage when you graduate. No good, man. You've got to start at the bottom." The Job Corps tells about Alpha Johnson of Washington who dropped out of school in the eighth grade, worked at odd jobs off and on and occasionally got into trouble with the police. He joined the Job Corps and learned refrigeration and heating at Ton- gue Joint, Ore.. Now Johnson is back in Wash- ington with a job installing heat- ing units in new buildings. A po- liceman in his neighborhood wrote the Tongue Point center: "Not only has Alpha Johnson learned about refrigeration-and air condi- tioning, he seems to also be so- cially readjusted. I wish to per- sonally thank you for this." Critics point to the cost of the Job Corps, some $258 million the first year, $211 million this year and a proposed $295 million for the coming year. In his poverty message to Con- gress President Johnson said it cost about $8,400 for each Job Corpsman at first and estimated it would be down to $6,700 in the coming year. Kelly points to the cost of wel- fare payments for those unable to get jobs and the added income tax payments from those with jobs. "It's very clear to me the kind of investment we're making," he said. (Continued from Page 1) on their "outstanding choice of a new president." "Chancellor Fleming is certain- ly well qualified to assume the vast responsibilities of leading our great university," Romney said, "We look forward to working with him as our state meets the con- tinuing challenge of higher edu- cation in the years ahead " Profs. Theodore J. St. Antoine of the Law School and Dallas Jones of the Business Adminis- tration School also view Fleming's future relationships with the state government and other groups out- side the academic community op- timistically. ' Jones said, "He's just the man the University needs at this junc- ture in its history. He will estab- lish excellent relationships with business and labor as well as with the Legislature." "The Regents couldn't lhave any better person to represent the Uni- versity with the Legislature and others outside the academic com- munity," St. Antoine said. "Flem- ing is ideally suited for resolving conflicts between different groups and at this point in the life of this institution this might be a good commodity to have around." Jones, St. Antoine and Prof. Russell A. Smith have met Flem- ing in various capacities in their labor relations and labor media- tion board activities. St. Antoine added that Flem- ing is a superb classroom teach- er. "He is a masterful perform- er in the classroom but does not By BERT G. HORNBACK The nicest thing about freedom of the press is that we are all censors, and though society may at times. argue about our right to open certain books, it never pro- hibits our closing any of them. The editorial remark which in- troduces the current issue of Generation is enough to make anyone want to close the magazine before reading a single item-and, irony of ironies, the statement is about editorial freedom! A bit more editorial attention to the thankless job of proofreading and a bit less self-indulgent devotion to "the cause" would have made this fine issue of the campus inter- arts magazine all the more com- mendable. Praiseworthy Play A play by Richard Simon, '69, is the most remarkable and wholly praiseworthy item in this Genera- tion. It is the most ambitious un- dertaking by far, and also the most successful. "Our Mutual Childhood" could do without its Alice in Wonderland motif--cer- tainly an unnecessary support for a play so imaginatively conceived -and would benefit by having the occasional bits of whimsical nar- rative with and flatulence re- moved. None of these little faults, how- ever, is as distracting as the col- lection of printing, errors which mars the text on the play. And even Simon's last words-"This is the way the play ends. Not with a bang, not with, a blackout exactly either, but with a whimper, a chil- dish, non-dramatic dissipation"- are not objectionable enough to disqualify the success of the whole effort. Simon doesn't need T. S. Eliot (who does?) and he doesn't even need Lewis Carroll or Walt Kelly; his imagination is significant by itself, and deserves more attention to its own productive integrity on Mr. Simon's part, and serious, generous applause on ours. High Quality Poem "If You Should Be Death" by Alice Chabot, grad, is a carefully constructed poem which survives a false beginning to become a beautiful lyric piece of the highest quality. Miss Chabot obviously has a fine ear and a genuine grace of mind and voice. One can only ob- ject, I think, to the first two lines of the poem, and they seem to be- long to its source in the imagina- tion and not to the poem itself. Clouded Narrative In "The Leopard of Oklahoma City" by Dennis Rosemann, grad, the narrative is not quite clear at times, and there are too many passages of anti-rhythmical prose unheard into poetry, too many de- tails which somehow are not translated from the journalistic substructure of report into' the true substance of-the poem. But there are also moments of bril- liance or almost-brilliance, such as the leopard's having. "instead of wild goats and lambs for food, only cans filled with plastic bags filled with garbage."# Fiction Piece Dissipated I The only piece of prose fiction in this issue, a short story "Ruthie at Christmas" by Lemuel John- son, grad, pays epigraphic obei- sance to Shakespeare. In its execu- tion, however, it is flabby and self- indulgent. The focus of the story is dissipated among a variety of cliches ranging from sex to anti- Christmas, from race to local color. Only one's respect for John- son's sure and sympathetic under- standing of the human beings evoked in the story saves "Ruthie at Christmas"-though that par- ticular saving is itself significant. The current issue also contains an "Art Folio," with two fine and interesting lithographs by Michele Doner, grad, and pictures of sev- eral ceramic vases by Clair Col- quitt, '68. One suspects that the latter are remarkable creations, though black and white photog- raphy hardly demonstrate this quality. And there are two music entries. One, "Armistice," by Sid- ney Hodkinson, grad, is basically unintelligible to the layman; though movements of musical tone, volume, and intensity can be seen in the imagination, and per- haps one can even contemplate what propose themselves as the notations for dance. Fiedler in Impressive Light There is also an interview with Leslie Fiedler, conducted by Ron- ald Rosenblatt, '68, and Megan Biesele, grad. The editors employ a crude but honest technique of non-editing their material. Still, the interview presents Fiedler in perhaps the most impressive light he has been allowed in Ann Arbor. The interview also presents a capsule description of Fiedler's "new novel," called the New West- ern, which may be the most hu- morous idea seen in print since a really funny Gargoyle joke. Finally, one supposes that the questions asked Fiedler were in- tentionally exaggerated for the sake of eliciting interesting re- sponses, and on this ground one accepts them. But even as one says this, one has a terrible, haunting suspicion that they may have been serious-and if that is so, then the total performance of "the wild moan of literary criticism" may well be to blame. Thus is might even be a blessing that Genera- tion's print is so small as to be scarcely visible to the naked eye.' (Prof. Hornback is a member of the English Department.) take the center of the stage; he involves the group." St. Antoine said, however, that Fleming is "not a towering intel- lect; he is a humanizer, rather than an innovator. He is probably not as much a source of original ideas but more able to translate ideas into practicality." Gretchen Groth, Grad, chair- man of the student committee, met Fleming last Friday night when he met with several Regents and the chairmen of the student, fac- ulty and alumni committees. She said, "Fleming appeared as a man more concerned with the University than his own prestige. He is very concerned about mak- ing the University a community whereby the faculty and students relate to each other outside as well as inside the classroom and wants more meaningful contacts with students. He enjoys talking with students." ORGAN IZATION NOTICES USE OF THIS COLUMN FOR AN- NOUNCEMENTS is available to officially recognized and registered student orga- nizations only.
