The final film in the ser ies, Eclipse, (May 21) was di rected by Michelangelo Antonioni and merited a Special Jury Award at the 1962 Cannel Film Festival. THE FOREIGN FILM FORUM is sponsored by the foreign langu age department in cooperation with the English department. Irene Branchaud, director of the Forum, defined the program's over-all purpose as an opportu nity for students to experience the motion picture as a work of art and to evaluate it in an intelligent, human manner . The films were chosen not only on the basis of their artistic value but also for their honest representation of human prob lems. Sister Irene said that, since the cinema has become a princi pal means of mass communica tion, it is necessary to develop in the viewer the ability maturely and critically to judge it as such. Therefore, Sister stressed the importance of attending the dis- Area activists defend stand defy with draft; movie Two members of the American Friends Committee and the Chicago Area Draft Resisters (CADRE) spoke and showed the film Time of the Locust to 60 faculty, students, and interested individuals ex plicating the faults of the Selective Service system and the immorality of war at an MSC-sponsored informal discussion, Oct. 4. Dennis Riordan began the evening by saying that he ex pects imminent arrest for re fusing to be drafted and for burning four sets of draft cards in protest of the war. Likewise, Dan Fallon was arrested Aug. 26 and goes to trial Nov. 2 for refusing to be drafted. The film, Time of the Locust, depicts life in Viet Nam as the war is going on. Narrated by portions from speeches made by President Johnson and interviews with soldiers and South Viet namese leaders, the film at tempts to show the realities of the war, which FaUon describes as being not pretty, but true . Soldiers are shown beating and shooting the enemy. Still photo graphs of anguished citizens re flecting the horrors of war are also injected. Following the film Riordan gave a brief history of the Se lective Service system since its inception In 1917. He pointed out that out of a group of Quakers, Puritans, and Jehovah's Wit nesses, who In 1917 objected to the draft, 50 were shot for re fusing to be drafted. The remain ing number received life sen tences which were commuted in 1937. Presently working as a coun selor for draft age young men, Riordan asserted that the draft system can rack up any guy who is not aware of his rights. A discussion period followed, highlighted by a criticism of the film on the grounds of poor and ambiguous selection of footage. The film was also attacked as being emotionally-based propa ganda. When questioned as to why they consider the war in Viet Nam Immoral, Fallon replied that This is not our war it's your war. Students objected to Fallon's answer because it skirted the question, offering to reasons for avoiding the draft. Riordan and Fallon defend their position of going to jail rather than being drafted bypro- poslng that a bad system can not be defeated by running away from It. Both express their belief that they will go to prison for their convictions. After the discussion, the young men and several students moved to the Coffeehouse for a further exchange of views. Professor lectures on African art A lecture concerning the development of art in Africa will be given by Frank McEwen Oct. 17 at 3:20 in McCormick Lounge. The talk will include the show ing of 100 color slides. Mr. Mc Ewen will be on campus from Oct. 16-20. During his visit, which is sponsored by Central States Col lege Association, he will address students in the art department. English born, Mr. McEwen studied at the Institut d'Art at d'Archaoelogle of Paris, Univer sity, Sorbonne. He also was the fine arts representative of the British Council from 1945-1955. During this time he became a friend of Picasso, Matisse, Gia- cometti, Miro, and others. Since 1957 he has lived in Rhodesia, although he is now a political refugee of that country. While in Rhodesia, he acted as the Director of the National Art Museum of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland (The Rhodes National Gallery) for nine years. series cussions after each film. These discussions give the viewer the opportunity to share and to eval uate his own experience of the movie, and also help hi m to deep en his insights and awareness by sharing the experience and opin ions of others. MRS. MYRTLE POSMANTUR OF THE ENGLISH DEPART MENT will deliver the initial presentation of Tom Jones and lead the discussion afterwards in McCormick Lounge. Student tickets will go on sale Oct. 11, in the bookstore lounge at 3.50 per series ticket. Single tickets are 1.00 each. Lee Schooler search for truth. We're not educators, he admitted, but he added that the variety of occu pations on the board increases the College's contacts with the outside. The board will act as a liaison between the College and the rest of society, inter preting the views of each. It will assist the president in plan ning and promoting the future growth of the institution and will oversee financial acquisitions and investments. THE BULK OF THE BOARD'S WORK will be executed through five standing committees chaired by trustees, but having faculty and administration representa tion to strengthen the link between the board and the College. The committees are the budget and legal committee, academic and cultural affairs, investment, nominations and development. To insure later flexibility, theboard is allowed to expand from its current 14 members to 30 mem bers. Guest intreprets 'Negratude' in art The tall negro artist declared Oct. 9 I have something to say; I am not out just to decorate walls. That goal of Jeff Donaldson, the first Hearsay conversationalist was exemplified in the description of his pen and ink wash which at various times he titled Us, Them and Welcoming Committee. He described the three figures in the painting as hipsters who wear their hats ace-duce, over one eye and two ears. According to the artist the hipsters say 'don't mess with me ... ' and they are beautiful. gratude, loosely defined as the heritage, race and culture con sciousness of the American ne gro: when Ray Charles sings 'People' it is negratude, but when Barbara Streisand sings the song, it is good. Ray Charles speaks a dialect, not a language. Moving away from the field of art, Mr. Donaldson also applied negratude to a negro's self con cept. I want to be what I am . . . if we accept it, it is good so if I call myself a nigger it would mean nothing . . . nigger can be music. He wants negroes to first accept themselves and their own identity. Only then does he believe that white society will accept the black man's uni queness. Believing that black identity will be established in one way or another, he said you are go ing to have to adjust to our society as much as we will to yours, only then will we be on equal terms. Mr. Donaldson believes that negroes will be separated until they reach a level of cultural development that will be accepted by the Caucasian race as different but equal to their culture. Proud of his difference, he insists I am black and my hair is kinky and I do like to dance and I am highly emotional . . . and don't you forget it. Mr. Donaldson is against open occu pancy simply because he does not want to be integrated; I am preaching liberation, he concluded. Mr. Donaldson has taught at Northeastern Illinois State Col lege and presently is working on his Ph.D in art at North western University. Concerned with black style and black themes, he said that only a black person would under stand his paintings. Objectively, a white man could judge his art, but he wouldn't understand its meaning and that is what my art is all about: one man's voice reflecting his experience. When asked why he would then want to share his art with Munde lein students he responded you should know that there is a revo lution going on here. My art must have political, economic and so cial overtones because I have a responsibility to my brother who might not be able to do It. I am not protesting against any manifestations of white culture but what I am saying is that it is not mine. I don't try to re create African images but try to take what I can of western experiences and temper it with our (negro) sincerity. Negro art of the 1920's black renaissance would take the western experiences and say look at me, I exist. The theme of negro art in the 1930's was love me, I am human. Now in the nwo's the theme ex pressed in negro art is I exist and don't you forget it, the artist continued. Negro art is just one area of what Mr. Donaldson calls Ne-
