'Five Easy Pieces Profound, Moving
By DICK COWDEN
Kansan Reviewer
The best indicator of the power in "Five Easy Pieces" is the watch that has seen it flies out. Nobody seems to teach the clever quips and tricks.
"Pieces" is the study of a man born into a family of esteemed architects, who has been brought to another until, as the story opens, he finds himself an old alchemist. As Bob Rafelson suspends him between the two paradoxically aligned brothers, Rob Rafelson suspends him
The uneasiness stems from the protagonist's reflection of a fear of death, but he carves the niches the world has carved for him. His life is characterized by flirtation. He toys with hapiness, illicitness, and achievements neither.
Jack Nicholson, as the specimen, plays his role with such fidelity you sense yourself chafing in your own groove. Karren McCormick spoon soup is, so stark you taste for hamburgers.
Hafelson first casts a seedy, w汪legged manhole in an all too intimate scene. In the screens, bowling alley, crying babies, dime store prints in the bathroom, beer, and oh, that poor kid, who was on the avenue of an intentionally hazy plot, the hero is perked from the darkness into another. He quits the oil

Richie Havenes ended his concert Friday night with a bang-in version of "Freedom" that featured the band's feet clapping and clapping.

wells to visit his father on learning of the old man's recent stroke and resulting paralysis
By the end of "Pieces," nothing has been settled; no questions have answered. The viewer realizes that he is part of the everyday desperation of this everyday antihero. This character, in a climax, it simulates the stifing of a common man who simply has no place to fit in a world.
Finally, Riehe began singing. His voice boomed into deep and loud and clear. He put everything together with a whole auditorium was energized.
"Five Easy Pieces" is spiked on one poetically sad scene in his two tries in vain to explain his plight. It is the only spot in the movie where the hero attempts to face him, and winds in his frustration as he reacts one who is content with his station in life can understand a move so moving in this scene he must to him perform Hamlet's famous soliloquy as an encore. But true hamlet he maintains his earthy faults.

However, that song was "Freedom," and the audience went wild. Richie pounded his guitar and danced around on it. He stopped and he ended this song and almost immediately began an encore.

New Emphasis For Rock Chalk
For 20 years, tradition dictated the format and content of the Rock Chalk Revue. It evolved into a Greek-dominated forum of musicians who performed temporary music. It has always been lively, clever and entertaining, but rarely active in the entire university.
Hopefully, things have finally changed. This year marks the beginning of Rock Chalk's third decade. Its current producer, Robbie Moore, believes it has passed its adolescence and come of age at last.
"I think we have a more mature idea of what Rock Chalk should be now." Kapelye said. "It's grown out of the cute skits of the past, but I wonder about objections of the sixties. This year we've ripped Rock Chalk apart, eliminating the triteness and tradition. We hope we've reconstructed it into something more 'worryful' of the label 'new'."
"The awards have changed, the requirements have changed, and most of all, we have initiated an atmosphere for the production."
Rapelle mentioned some of the other significant alterations in Rock Chalk for 1971. The unit piano was replaced with a grand orchestra. The format stresses unity and minimizes competition. The students are encouraged to give continuity to the production. More independent students are involved than in the group.
beat the Greeks. He explained that by that he meant Rock Chalk should reflect what the campus is like, and what has been happening in the Greek system. This year in beginning in every phase of Rock Chalk, from production and business to the orchestra and ticket sales.
Rock Chalk began in 1982 because the University of Kansas has a magazine. Students wanted to imprint an entire year of campus humor into one production. According to Rock Chalk, "60s that rock Chalk took on the appearance of a characteristic of rock music" is that Rock Chalk has grown so big, preparations must start in March, almost a year later. In February, Dorms have a great deal of difficulty in trying to organize that far in advance of their resident turnover.
