Security Is Theme in 'Last Tango'
BY DIANE YEAMANS
Kansas Review Editor
The security found in childhood is sometimes hard to leave behind, and it is particularly hard for the 20-year-old girl in "Lost Tango in Paris" to leave the fairy tale world she had created which her father, the colonel, symbolized.
As the girl grew up, her sexual needs grew to adulthood while her mind clung to

childhood. She finds her sexual satisfaction in a 45-year-old man, powerfully played by Marlon Brando, who creates a world in which the girl can hide.
However, he had said numerous times and numerous ways that life would always be filled with loneliness, and loneliness was the first thing when "looking up the ass-hole of death."
The man is lonely, and he uses the girl to try to fill the loveless vacuum of his life. When he attempts to save their relationship, he does so to try to ease his loneliness.
"Iast Tango" isn't a movie, although it might say a few things about man that are not directly related to the film.
Some people have complained that "Last Tango" is plotless. However, a plot isn't needed in a movie that is carried by psychological motivation.
The girl, played by Marie Schneider, likes the relationship she has with the man as long as she can transfer her childhood security into the early days of their relationship, which is evident in the games the two play.
The man explains their relationship by telling the girl his truth about marriage when she tries to leave him for an old fiancee. She says the relationship begins when the woman finds a security in a man. After marriage, man finds a new world in their sexual relationship, and the woman is careful and must take on the burden of emptiness.
during the finals of a tango dancing contest.
The fairy tale dies when the man dashes in her childhood security as he invades the house of her childhood which symbolizes her entire being.
The sexual scenes in the movie are nothing when compared to the man's raping act.
As the man dies, the darkness leaves his face, and the vacuum of his life vanishes as a wisp.

That doesn't mean one shouldn't see the movie; on the contrary. It may be one of the best movies offered in many years.

movie, including the man's mourning over his wife's body, the girl reminiscing in her childhood home and the last tango of their relationship in a cheesy dance hall.
The movie says far more than most movies about certain human characteristics. The theme, the characters and a finesse in symbolism and music are well developed to give the movie an unusual and excellent artisticism.
Director Bernardo Bertolucci used a great deal of technical symbolism, the most prominent being the use of light and darkness.

Childhood Portrayed in Musical
By CHERYL CROOKS
Kansas Reviewer
Good Grief! Charlie Brown and his pals are in living color at Hashinger Theatre. The Clark Garner musical, "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown," opens tonight. Although Charlie Brown and his gang will lose another neighborhood ball game, they come very close to winning with their production.
in brief
The musical, inspired by the "Peanuts" cartoons of Charles Schultz, draws you into a day in the life of Charlie Brown. The musical is an outline of the simple joys of childhood along with its insurmountable frustrations.
Traces of child-like truth and honesty are beneath the mine. The feeling is strongly created in the final song, "Happiness Is ..."
Charlie Brown. He doesn't appear to be convinced of his character and, as a result, he often makes misogynistic remarks.
Terri Walters, Topeka sophomore, has evoked a feeling of simplicity in her direction of the musical. During dress rehearsal last night, her cast seemed to have fun with the show, and their attitude was conceived in the production.
The play moves along at a moderate pace. Performance time is only one hour and 30 minutes, which no doubt contributes to the show's success.
Bruce Ryder, Overland Park sophomore,
bruce-wishy in his characterization of
Limus, played by Steve Simon, Richmond Heights, Mo. sophomore, carries his blanket around stage as awkwardly as a father might hold his newborn son. Simon is shirtless, but somewhere along the line fell short of fully becoming the character.
If the performances go as well as the dress rehearsal, Charlie Brown's three weekend performances will perhaps offer some inspiration to you. A performance of the Schultz "Peanuts" ensemble.
Academic a Award
By JACQUE WHITE Kanaan Staff Reporter
Escort Service Needs More Men
Four seniors in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences have received the Paul B. Lawson Award for the highest academic record in the College during their first three years of enrollment. The recipients were William Farris, Wright Parrville Village, Marilyn Parsons, Oklahoma City, and James Swafford, Kansas City, Mo.
"We need to have three or four people working a night. With only eight members, that would mean that each person would work for about two hours or four nights a week." Taxasran said.
Operation Escort, an escort service for women that was begun last January by the Pershing Rifle Company, hasn't been operating this semester because of a lack of
According to John Taxasen, Tenafy, N.J., senior and captain of Pershing Rifles, the membership of the club dropped from 25 last semester to eight this semester.
Ideally, say Taxers, each member should work one night every two weeks.
The membership dropped, Taxasars had, because several people graduated, some transferred to other schools, some quit. The only serious shock was the suspension Rifles because of academic loads.

"With the people on the inactive roster, we have 13 or 14 members," he said. "That's still not enough to run the program."
Tuxerans said the program was started after a member of Pershing Riffles read an article in the newspaper and reported.
The University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., has received an additional $410,000 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to enlargear research space at the university. L. Kohman, professor of aerospace engineering and Jan Roskam, professor and chairman of the aerospace engineering department, are the principal researchers for the project. The additional funds bring the total amount of money received for the project up to $685,000. Project results are being considered for incorporation in aircraft production.
vice run by the Navy ROTC unit at Pennsylvania State University. Presshives Rifles saw a need for an escort service at the University of Kansas, Taxeras said, to protect women on campus from being assaulted at night.
A woman student could call the Pershing Rifles office and ask for an escort to any part of the campus. A member of Pershing Rifles would her in a car to the building she requested.
The service was originally provided exclusively for women who lived on campus, but later expanded to include an area where students' streets and streets from 9th to 2d streets.
Taxares that during the first week of operation the escort service answered only three or four calls a night. By April, he said, Pershing Rifles sometimes answered 40 calls a night. There was an average of 25 calls a night. he said.
"Up until the beginning of this semester the Lawrence Police Department, was unaware of an arrest."
"We had a couple of calls from men, but we told them that we had enough business to do."
Operation Escort was allocated $2,200 for expenses this semester by the Student Senate. Taxars said the money would have lasted through this semester and half of
Last semester, he said, the Pershing Rifle company provided money for the operating costs of the rifle.
Basic operating expenses included gas and oil for the cars, paper and office supplies, signs and parking permits. Taxasrs said cars were the major expense.
Pershing Hifles had attempted to find other groups interested in helping with Operation Escort, he said, but nobody could be found.
Pershing Rifles is trying to activate the program for next year. Taxaser said that, if necessary, the group would find some kind of auxiliary help.
"We really consider this necessary on the campus," Taxas said.
