FRANK The plot of "A Man and a Woman," which opened yesterday at the Campus theatre, could eas- ily have been the product of a semi-fertile Hollywood imagina- tion. A handsome sports car driver meets a beautiful film editor at the country school . where both send their children. With zealous dedication he overcomes her men- tal .hindrances and of course, they fall in love. But every tale needs a com- plcation, and "A. Man and a Woman" abundantly provides it. The "man" is -a widower, the "woman" a widow, and the film focuses around his difficulties in overcoming her grief and dedica- tion to her late husband.

SATURDAY, JAN. 14 7:00 and 9:05 p.m. - Cinema Guild will present Jean-Luc Go- dard's "Bande a Part" in the Arch. Aud. 7:00 and 9:00 p.n.-Cinema II will present "Charade'" in Aud. A. 7:00 and 9:30 p.m.-Henry Man- cini will perform in Hill Aud. As the title of the film suggests, the differences between male and female are remarkably portrayed. The woman is hesitant, reflective, overwhelmingly tied to a beauti- fully romantic past. In contrast the man is decisively aggressive, acknowledging his love for his dead wife, yet recognizing the needs and emotions of the present. The film would be nothing if it were to rely on this on this plot. But the director; Claude Lelouch, almost brilliantly managed to save the film with new, sometimes uni- que cinematic techniques. Primarily, "A Man and a" Woman" displays remarkable color and camera work. Black and white are alternated with color and tonal shadings to vary with the the- matic structure. Transitions are smooth, sometimes unnoticed, but continually significant. Color is consistent in the scenes where the hero or heroine are alone with their children, for here is the living part of the memory for their deadhusband or wife. Color also follows in her recol- lections of her husband. However, his rememberances are in black and white, darkened, perhaps by his guilt in her death. Mood is captured and held in those scenes of hesitant inter- action between the man and the woman. Conversation is often dif- ficult; the only bright element is the potential, held back by her memories of her husband. Tonal shadings are equally im- portant. Outstanding are theI scenes of him driving at night in the Monte Caro rally; black and white appears to be the motif until bright yellow headlights emerge. Later, a goping love scene, shaded in red, tonally illustrates her reluctance to love. Lelouc adds a richly romantic musical score to the color and camera work, skillfully using music and songs to supplant and replace dialogue. Photographic skills, music and some good acting combine with the plot to produce a worthy film. Though it has it flaws and dis- stractions (ignore the unsubtle advertising for Ford Motor Com- pany), "A Man and a Woman" is gloiously romantic, enjoyable and well done. rfDAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN, .r. . . .. . . . (Continued from page 1) was estimated this could be ac- complished for $4 billion yearly. Detractors point out that Pen- tagon estimates have put the cost of an all-volunteer Army at as much as $17 billion yearly and add that there is no way of predicting what makes a young man choose a career. Few expect this suggestion to get serious attention from Con- gress, but a resolution calling for further studies may gain approval. * Universal military training. This suggestion, although recently endorsed by former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, also has little populair support, with many attacking it as unnecessary and wasteful in this day of relatively small guerrilla wars. The Defense Department also has estimated it would cost more than $6 billion to provide six months of training for the 1.8 million youths who would theoretically be eligible for the training this year. Hershey is a strong advocate of the program. * Compulsory national service. Advocates of this progam include PeaceCorps Director Jack H. Vaughn, Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz and Sargent Shri- ver, head of the antipoverty pro- gram. Under it, youths would be given a chance at the age of 18 to volunteer for either military or nonmilitary national service. Critics argue that compulsory national service would just pro- vide another foi'm of coercion for a society that already is struggling with the draft. To expose all youths to possible federal control many citizens.3 . The lottery. Insiders say this is the alternative program with the best chance of gaining some kind of congressional sanctions this year. Its backers include Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.); his brother, Sen. Robert F. Ken- nedy (D-N.Y.), and Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara. Under the Kennedy proposal, all men would be examined by their local draft boards at age 18, and those found fit would be as- signed a lottery number. Draftees tional drawing determined, in part, by the needs of the nation. Under the Pentagon version, only those 19-year-olds who had not been deferred-that is, those men classified 1A would be eligible for the lottery. Those who had been deferred would enter the 1A pool when their deferments ran out. The four major alternatives all share one common idea: that the present draft system should be overhauled to begin taking young- est men first. "SUPERIOR OFF-BEAT, AND ORIGINALI -NY.
