The University Daily University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas KANSAN Wednesday, March 4, 1981 Vol. 91, No. 108 USPS 650-640 Developer continues mall battle Staff Reporter By DALE WETZEL If at first you don't succeed, invest more money. Jacobs, Viscosi and Jacobs is doing just that after the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission dealt a setback to JV's bid to regreeze a south Lawrence lot for a shopping mall. "We've got $300,000 invested in this," Don Jones, JV vice president for mail development, wrote. "We're working to get it out there." Some of JVL's dollars are already payed individually. Includes rent, insurance, a luxury car attest. THE ENVELOPES contain coupons, clipped from a full-page JVJ advertisement published in the Feb. 22 Lawrence Journal-World. As of March 2, the planning office had received 405 coupons, many with letters and other comments attached; 376 supported JVJ's proposed project. However, the fruits of the Cleveland developer's efforts won't be known for at least two weeks. A March 18 City Commission hearing date set for JVJ's request is "still tentative" according to assistant city manager Mike Widney. Meanwhile, Richard Zinn, JVJ's Lawrence attorney, is preparing to argue his client's case KU 1982 budget request tied to Regents budget By GENE GEORGE The University of Kansas won't be helped by the Senate Ways and Means Committee's relaxed attitude toward individual universities' assets, according to the committee chairman. Staff Reporter the chairman, Paul Hess, R-Wichita, said yesterday that KU's requests for a faculty pay raise, an increase in the operating budget and money to cover increased enrollment were tied to the success of Resigns system-wide proposed budget. The committee cut reports deep last month. HESS SCHEDULED committee hearings for homestead and Friday to consider the individual committees. After committee action this week, the campaign budget for Legents budgets will be sent to the full Senate. Since the individual requests, as proposed by Gov. John Carlin, did not entail the large sum of money that the Regents proposal did, Hess said the committee probably would go easy on the "I suspect that the subcommittee reports certainly will not be higher than the governors recommendation," Hess said. "But don't expect March,1981 Ampersand ONSCREEN Tess starring Natasia Krishi, Peter Firth and Leigh Lawson, written by Gerard Bracan, Roman Polanski and John Brunjainny, based on Thomas Tess and Tess of the Dübervilles, directed by Polanski. Tess (Kinski) is a beautiful young late-19th century English countrywoman, poor but proud, whose life is changed forever when her washer father learns the family may be connected to the aristocracy—they could be sent off to meet, and sent off to meet, and extract money from their supposed rich relations, the scion of the manor (not related after all, but a rich family that simply bought the land and land) rapes and keeps Tess until she summons him. She begins her life in beginning, Tess trudges stolically through poverty and grinding labor, suffers the birth and death of an illegible child, and for a brief summer finds love and happiness and a husband (Hirth, in a remarkably restrained performance) before her inevitably tragic end. Polanski filmed *Tess* in France, because he feared extradition to this country if he wandered too close to England. He even recreated Stonehenge somewhere in France, and packed German-born Kinski on to live with a Dorsetshire family for a year to learn the proper accent (she didn't quite). Polanski's landscapes are beautiful. But when he goes back, he keeps reminding us, in the smallest details that this story does not have a happy ending—and this makes the few genuinely joyful moments all the more poignant. One scene in particular has taken root in my mind; when Tess child (whom she loves in spite of its shameful origins) dies in a plane crash, the village no doubt casts no hardships nor nobards allowed near the good dead people of the village. At night, in defiance of her vicar, church, and townpeople, she buries the baby in the cemetery and erects a pathetic little wooden cross. Kinski, for all her sensuously innocent beauty (her resemblance to the young in grid Bergman is downright eerie) never convinced me she really understood Hardy's heroine. Tough and resilient, stubborn and practical, Tess is a wonderful invention straightforward and honest in an age when women were expected to be elinging, pious and sensible. But Hardy sad looks are not quiet enough, Tess should have some fire and spirit, too. But while Kinski may not bring enough to the role, she doesn't detract from it. Polanski frames his actors precisely and emotionally (but never sentimentally). He is a masterful manipulator, a man who never fails to get the point. He can casually slip a dagger into our hearts. Tess may not elicit sobs in the theater, but the sadness linger after. Judith Sims Every Man for Himself starting Isabelle Hooper, Jacques Dutrane and Natalie Bubie, written by Jean-claude Carrere and Anne-Marie Miestefal; directed by Jean-Luc Godard In *Every Man for Himself*, avante garde director Jean-Luc Godard (Breatheless Weekend) not surprisingly opens for style and mood rather than plot and characterization, but the film's style is mostly baffling, and its mood, on those occasions when the story is comprehensible, is depressing. It contains enough references to incest and anality to occupy an army of psychiatrists for years, and Godard's stylistic flourishes (stop motion, for example, and soundtrack manipulations) are regarded in certain film circles as a hallmark of Godard's art, but the only blessing a general audience is likely to find in this idiosyncratic work is its relative brevity (87 minutes). If not for Godard's technical skill and vaunted reputation, the movie might easily be dismissed for obscurity and pretentiousness. The Dutrone character is blatantly autobiographical; in addition to being a director, his name is Godard, and he is hit by a car (several years ago Jean-Luc Godard had a serious car accident). But like Woody Allen in *Stardust Memories*, Godard lacks the ability to articulate criticizes, mocks, and alienates his audience. (In a faint and not altogether successful way, Godard may be trying to demonstrate that in a world full of whores, he alone is pure.) Goddard may have retreated from the excesses of his Maist film, but it has been a powerful tool yet eschewed an essentially solitistic and indulgent approach to moviemaking. Robert L. Liebman The Return of the Secaucus Seven Featureting Mark Arriot, Gordon Clapp, Maggie Adamowicz, Adam Lefevre, Jorge MacDonald, Jean Passante, Mike Renzi, David Karris, Karen Karrt, written and directed by John Sayles. A handful of old college friends gather for a weekend in smalltown New England. Nothing much happens a little basketball gets played; several pounds of hamburger are pounded into patty, fried, and then consumed; someone drinks too much wine or beer, so they spend the course of this film, no critical decisions are made, no ideals forsaken; there isn't the tuff of terror nor pity lying about here. What does occur is far more prosaic, far more realistic than the fables and characterizations we are accustomed to seeing on the screen Again, the actors are all quite good; you don't get much than you, me, or any of our closest friends. And that is precisely what makes this charming, funny, talky film so irresirable. Ten years ago, on the road to an anti-war demonstration in Washington, DC, a small group of young college students, VISTA volunteers and dropouts found themselves waylaid and arrested (charges dropped) in Secaucus, New Jersey; thus, with appropriate self-depreciation, the Secaucus Seven Now, continuing with their lives, they struggle to make some sense, and some joy out of a rather different world. They teach high school, go to medical school, work for a law firm, or being it big on the record charts, none of them can be noted, is employed on Wall Street. Their aspirations have leveled off, or rather, caused upon good friends, good work, love, family, and some measure of justice; they are idealists in a non-heroic fashion, equipped with irony and a prevaling sense of humor. They're good company, familiar and generally admirable in words and tone. Novelist John Sayles, author of the National Book Award nominee, *Union Dues* has written and directed a marvelous evocation of one generation's shared experience. It's roughly made ($60,000 budget, originally shot in 16 mm, nicely cast, and beautiful scripted). What's more, the realistic eye of *Nocassus Remains* reminds us of how truly awful and off the mark were all those people who gave up to the *Gatsby Statement* and *Getting Straight Now*, at last, someone has made a film about the post-Counterculture who knows what he's talking about, someone with the wit and skill to hammer it all together.

"I have not known what reports committee reports, I don't know if our (KU's) office is." Von Ende said he "had a good talk" with KU subcommittee chairman Ronald Hein, R-Topke, last week, but Hein gave no indication which programs the subcommittee supported. KU asked the governor for $8 million more for a 10 percent faculty salary increase and higher classified pay and $12.5 million more for its education and operating budget. But Carlin cut both requests before sending them onto the Legislature. The committee in effect reduced the amounts more last month by trimming $3 million from the Regents proposal. ive hat THE COMMITTEE decreased Carlin's proposed 6 percent faculty pay increase to 7 percent and his proposed 6 percent operating budget increase to 5.5 percent. The committee also voted for a 15 percent increase in tuition for all state universities. Money to cover enrolment this year was eliminated and the committee told universities to manage with what money they had if future increases were minor. The increase would mean KU students, who now pay about 20 percent of the total cost of their education, would pay around 23 percent next year. The Haworth Hall expansion would allow the biology department to move from the outdated and cramped conditions at Snow Hall into more modern facilities. The feasibility study would see whether a second library, needed to take the load off Watson Library, could be built near the Military Science Building. Two other projects KU wants, but probably won't get because the governor don't recommend them, are $3.6 million for the Haworth Hall project and $100,000 for a feasibility study for a second library. good contract "There's enough at the salad bar at any hall for anyone to have a good, balanced diet," he said.
