Statement: The Office of Public De- fender is a new and important position established by Washtenaw County, The interests of fairness and justice dictate the creation of such a post. The person who oecomes Public De- fender will have a very special clientele. The people he will primarily serve will be therpoor of Washtenaw County. It is therefore imperative that the Public Defender have the support and confi- dence of his constituency. The method now being enployed to select the Public Defender prevents all input into the selection process by those the Public Defender is supposed to serve. To allow three white conserva- tive lawyers to act as the sole screening committee is incredulous and an insult to the people in this county. As the student government of the University of Michigan we see the need for the inclusion of student views on the subject of whom the Public De- fender will be. But more important, unless the input of blacks and the poor are listened to and sought, and unless the independ- ence of the office is insured, the post- tion of Puiblc Defender could become of little value to those who the office was intended to serve. (Continued on Page 10) niches is to be exiled from each. You must choose! Dupea chooses to evade the choice. "I moved around a lot," he says. "Not because I'm look- ing for anything really but be- cause I'm getting away from things that get bard if I stay." It is from this movement (though we see very little of it in the film) that Five Easy Pieces is labeled a road picture. I think this is misplaced em- phasis, but the road does func- tion to underscore Dupea's di- liemma. Technology homogen- izes. It becomes master by re- ducing all of us to consumption machines and luring us into pigeon-holes. As one of the les- bian hitch-hikers says, "I had to leave this place because I got. depressed seeing all this crap." Technology also impersonalizes. When Dupea, caught in a free- way tie-up, hops on a truck with a piano in the back, his music competes with a coaco- phony of auto horns as the hundreds of thousands of ;n- terchangeable cobs grind on un- feelingly to work. But most of all, as Rafelson shows in one of the film's most brilliant scenes, technology sets up its own irrational imperative. Dupea tries to circumvent a restaurant's rules by getting a side order of toast. His waitress tells him it can't be done, though there is bread and a toaster. Dupea flares and the waitress points to the sign: We reserve the right to serve ... He snaps back, "You see this sign?" and with a sweep of his arm knocks the glasses onto the floor. It is± the oily response to a system that has elevated nonsense to the throne. Technology. sensitivity, art, happiness are the substance of Five Easy Pieces, one of the most full-bodied films in some time. Adrien Joyce has written a credible, sensible screenplay, and Bob Rafelson, whose only previous effort was the Monkee's Head, directs with simplicity and force. But what fuses the film's parts is an intelligent complex, disturbing performance by Jack Nicholson, who, .with Brando dormant, may be the best film actor we have. Nichol- son fleshes out the characteri-- zation with his tone of voice, a nod of his head, a roll of his eyes. He involves. he excites, he mesmerizes. Perhaps the best word for his Dupea is haunting. You just can't forget it. Unfortunately, Nicholson can- not make Five Easy Pieces a great film. Though it comes close, it has several thematically distracting scenes-notably the' pickups in the bowling alley- that should have been snipped, and several others-Elton's ar- rest, Dupea's confession to his father-that should have been reworked to better fit the whole. But even with its faults, it is- one of the most intelligent American films I've seen, and I think it will better stand the test of time than more popular, more fashionable pictures. It doesn't tell us what's wrong with America. It doesn't rub our noses in the filth. It doesn't 'opt for easy audience approval. It does require us to think. And when haven't we nee-ed a film like that? PRESCRIPTION EYEWARE and SHADES wpw #4:1I~ .,.i. .w ddlu mW*ffddpvb^4m UTO -I] 7l %IwU am 615 6.0. A.Ms 662 5903, Michigan League 227 S.
