All of a sudden they tried to go 'objective' in their criticism — disastrous. What made them try to throw off their subjective bias in both "US" and "In the matter of R. Oppenheimer" was that both involved documentary technique. Superficially indeed the plays are similar; but it is the differences that indicate why US is a valuable extension of post-war (which war indeed?) drama technique. "In the Matter of R. Oppenheimer" was competently produced and acted out in a series of vignettes of the witnesses, counsel and the members of the tribunal. This drama was once performed over a period of weeks, 300 pages of transcript, and does not bear this treatment of dramatised regurgitation in skeleton form. The transcript might make documentary radio material, but contains no visual action to justify its presentation on the stage. Dramatically it never had a chance. Back projection of trivia serves only to disrupt the proceedings by reminding the audience the actors look nothing like the original characters involved. Spotlighting asides to the audience while the rest of the cast suspend action goes back to Sheridan's drawing room farce technique and is abysmally introduced. The play poses a potentially gripping problem, but is dissolved by the monotonous meanderings of the McCarthy instituted tribunal. This play was a mistake if only that it is in no sense a play. the arts Glenda Jackson and Marje Lawrence in "US" at the Aldwych Theatre. Romeo and Juliet BOMBARDMENT Yet with similar problems, "US" makes the fullest use of every aspect of theatre that is offered. This includes music, poetry, visual and aural bombardment — everything in the book as well as writing a couple more chapters. Action is not allowed to petrify into the presentation of two sides of an argument. The tortured body playing Vietnam is painted green and yellow with splodges of red as the noble actor writhes in his loin-cloth. But this 'careful 'audience dares not laugh or cry without clearer guidance. This is an indication over over-civilisation when an audience gets to examining its entrails the whole time. The audience barely reacts to horrific portrayal of man's inhumanity to man. Most were content to assume a rigid mask, discarding any plea to human emotion as 'rubbish', before the truth could hurt. And the authors recognised the probability of this happening, for Glenda Jackson in unmistakable terms spits out the condemnation in the second half. SHATTERED After the stuimed interval when people were talking of the production as 'interesting', the debate centred on the sincerity and concern of the audience with far away problems: the people who try not to buy South African oranges and once marched from Aldermaston; the people who call Aldwych productions about Vietnam 'interesting'. Glenda Jackson summed it all up with the horrific ringing "I want it here" speech — a supreme expression of outraged futility which encompassed the actors acting out this tragedy on stage. Once man's arrogant views as to predestined survival had been shattered by the satisfactory promotion of hopelessness to join chaos as the real world problems, then and only then can progress be made. That it did not seem as if one could ever reach this stage, is no reason for not pointing the way. It was clearly stated that one cannot make any progress just because one has a conviction of being half-way to salvation. The flagellation of our 'mythical consciences' is as good a start as any. STUNNED This experiment in theatre was not an essay in anti-Americanism, as many would have us believe. The cast were divided and so should the audience have been. As it was only one Vietnamese girl in the audience broke down. I was very nearly sick afterwards, and it was a shame the shutters came down on a largely committed audience. A stunned reaction when actors invaded the auditorium blind, groping for the exits was understandable, but at the end, after the butterfly was burned and the actors crowded the stage silently, threatening the audience to refute their indictment, something more than 'interesting' or 'rubbish' should have been forthcoming.

Call at the AISEC Office (Room C 18) for further details. J HAVE an inherent objection to films of ballet. The two media never seem to mix satisfactorily. Attempts at positive camera work, as were made in the recent Russian film of 'The Sleeping Beauty', only serve to rob the productions of much of their ritualistic charm. Effective Romeo and Juliet, being rather less formal than some ballets, perhaps lends itself more to reproduction on film, and Paul Czinner's production is intended only as a record of the Royal Ballet's recent success. While this approach did not for me capture the atmo- Corn With Brando TTOW DOES he get away with it? Marlon Brando wrestling with his pride and principles is nothing new and almost murder to watch. It does in fact kUl the first part of "Southwest to Sonora" altogether. Brando, as Matt Fletcher, is not the Brando he could be, since much of his part is clich6-ridden — "You just don't understand." Yet he still manages to be dynamic, despite strong competition from John Saxon as the Mexican bandit chief Chuy, whose stormy path he crosses by chance. The story opens in the church of an American border town in 1870. Trini (Anjanette Comer), Chuy's disillusioned " woman accuses the bearded stranger in the confessional (an almost unrecognisable Brando) of molesting her. Furious, Chuy enters the church to kill whilst Trini takes to flight on Matt's valuable Appaloosa stallion. In order to maintain prestige in front of his pistoleros, Chuy covers up by saying that he intended to buy the animal and Trini was merely trying it out. Matt refuses to sell the horse which represents both his past, and future as a breeder: Chuy therefore steals it. Degradation From then onwards. Matt has to get it back, and suffers tremendous degredation in the process of proving his superiority. Pointless killings and trials of strength form the action of the film. Moral issues are somewhat laboured but they do manage to be effective. The most satisfying feature though, apart from Marlon Brando, is the director's often poignant use of detail. If you can survive the com at the beginning, I am sure you will be impressed by the overall picture. If you have principles and pride (plenty of it), you might even lap up the disasters of the so-called "dramatic tension". Tricia Israel Anjanette Comer with Brando in "Southwest to Sonora" attitude to sex — including debs at a Hunt Ball, and prostitutes. A futile existence centring on copulation is the overwhelming sensation. It is probably as accurate as it is depressing. In Onibaba, the scene is Japan; the tempo is frustration and histrionics. Endless film of bamboo and reeds sway suggestively in the wind. A naked heroine gasps with pleasure while the camera reveals. The film shows what happens if you leave a frustrated beautiful near-naked girl with a frustrated soldier back from the bloody wars with a frustrated mother-in-law about — all hungry for food as well as sex. One film talks about it; the other shows it. One calls it a reflection of the contemporary scene and the other a historical tragedy. The truth is: fucking is an overworked subject, and the cinema debases itself and the act by purveying such twaddle. sphere and excitement of a stage production, it was well worth seeing. The scenery and costumes, so highly praised in the original version, were extremely effective on film and helped particularly in giving the ball and market place scenes cohesion and impact. The lighting, particularly in the balcony scene, I found very effective. But, inevitably, the camera highlights the solos and pas-de-deux. Brilliant One remembers particularly Anthony Dowell's Ben-volio and the three harlots danced by Deanne Bergsma, Monica Mason and Carole Needham as outstanding supporting performances. Of the principles, Margot Fonteyn has the more demanding role, when subjected to the camera test: her interpretation is brilhant, but for every shot in which she radiates the passion or the gaucherie of a fourteen-year-old she is also subjected to a ruthless close-up which carmot but destroy the illusion. The fact that her performance is still an object lesson in technique and projection is, then, a double triumph. Effortless Nureyev's lithe professionalisms is less tested by close up camera work, and indeed benefits at times from it. Neither of them displays any uncertainty, and even at close range his lifts and complicated movements seem effortless. If you want to see Romeo and Juliet in lieu of the original production, you may well be disappointed. But there is still much that is fascinating and rewarding. If you like ballet go and see it.

November 3rd, 1966 BEAVER 9 Sports In Short Rugby 'pHE rugby match by the thirds against the U.S. Marines ended in a fiasco when the leather-necks walked off the field, alleging brutality by Firth and Lezer of LSE. Tempers flared when an irate marine gave John Harrison a black eye as he scored an easy try. The Americans complained constantly about the ref, and and when LSE tied the score they returned to guarding Gros-vener Square. In other action, the thirds had a field day in beating North West Polytechnic 55-0. Greedy Spike Watkins gloried in four tries. Hockey Cross Country 3rd Rugby Win r¥iHE first XV after three fine wins have made their claim to be considered one of London University's outstanding college teams. By beating Queen Mary's College by 9 points to 8, they showed what determination and fine team play can achieve. QMC have not been beaten since the Gutteridge Cup Final of the 1964-65 season. The pack played well both in the tight and loose with Geoff Mayer playing a particularly strong game in the line-out. The three quarters managed to link up weU and the defensive play was good, especially Colin Brown's tackling. They're big and they're ugly — but at least they train ! Old Thamesians were a fit side but once again LSE dominated the second half when they scored 11 points. Peter Diffy in particular played well at scrum half. Sussex University provided a worthy opposition for the school. After a long journey down to A wide-open game on the wings and a blistering second-half game enabled the LSE hockey team to turn a see-saw first-half into a 4-0 rout of U.C., the defending champions. The team's 4-2 record will meet the acid test today against the touring Hamburg side. The girl's team confirmed their ability, in their own words, " to dazzle on the field as well as off," by beating Holborn College 10-0. Canoe Club Five members of the club enjoyed themselves immensely on a trip down the Thames from Oxford to home base at Raven's Ait. The pace was leisurely and the riverside pubs well-frequented. Camp sites ranged from the sublime to ithe ridlicu-lous the most memorable being a small patch of ground near the Old Windsor Lock where the brave canoeists were almost obliterated by the rain. Nobody drowned, however, and so, as at all LSE events, the men continued to out-number the women. ''Ash the Smash 99 The Cross-Country Club placed third among 14 University teams on the 22nd.

Sturman Road Rally on Foot ^SHLEY Mitchell, attractive Jewish secretary of the Athletics Club is mounting a massive campaign to procure males for this sinister pastime. In the whole of L.S.E. they can only manage eight active members (when the national average is one in sixteen). In spite of this diminutive force, the Athletic Club (combined with the cross-country Club) took the Club of the Year Trophy. Mdchell, commonly known as "Ash the Smash" further damaged (or enhanced) his reputation by reading out the A.C. records list on which is name figured prominently among the sprinters and hurdlers. Ashley showed a streak of generosity by referring to other members' achievements, athletic, of course; Mike Boyse in the sprints, Dave YafEe and D. Bagshaw in the long-distances, while J. Webster and Z. Men-drick dominated the field events, other members, too numerous to mention also contributed to the successful season. Hibernation The club aspires to activity this year and hopes to destroy the image of athletics as a summer-only sport by an active winter programme. The Club is also holding an Easter training camp for any who come out of hibernation and who do not have any distractions — women, rum, beer, finals and so on. For the enthusiastic, regular training sessions of doubtful purpose and value are held on Mondays in the gym, with the beer and brain of the Rugby Club. Following usual Club procedure the oiflcialB were elected in their absence. These are Pete Greenhalgh (of UIU fame) as captain and Colin Brown as secretary.

JF you are a budding rally- driver — an Erik Carlsson or a Pat Moss — but haven't the finances available to run a car, a club is being formed in LSE for a new sport, growing fast in Britain, which is ideally suited to your rallying spirit. Mobility It is called "ORIENTEERING" (no dear, it's nothing to do with China, unless you get hopelessly lost!) It only requires good map and compass reading and a certain mobility across country on foot — no car is needed. The general idea is that you are given a map (Ordnance Survey 2^":1 mile) with a number of checkpoints marked on it. Check-point Competitors are started at minute intervals and, using a compass, they must visit each check-point in turn. The winner is the one who takes the shortest time to complete the course. Distances vary — for men usually between three and seven miles, ladies do two and a half to four. There are usually short sport events for novices at each meeting. Navigation One interesting feature of Orienteering is that you don't even have to be fit— although it does help, of course—because navigation is the essential part. A fast runner only has to be slightly off-course and he could end up God knows where! The winner is the person who uses good tactics, and can plan his journey beforehand. Orienteering, for both men and women, is an interesting and enjoyable way to keep fit, so if YOU are interested please watch the Athletics Notice Boards or contact me through the pigeon-holes. John R. Walker Sailors Win (Odd) Peculiar Race RAILING Club activities got into full swing last week with the first race of the season against Nottingham University in the depths of Sherwood Forest. For the team of Seven (one spare in case of drowning) the journey's function proved primarily to be a quest for Robin Hood, led by three members of the team whose seeds of origin lay across the Atlantic. Nevertheless, for a bit of light relief from the arduous search for the Merry Men, enough time was allowed to squeeze in one This, indeed, proved to be a test of the helm's skiU, who, aided by a light wind of about a quarter of a knot and com- peting against a current of approximately six knots, displayed racing tactics worthy of professionals. One boat, whose crew members have modestly asked to remain anonymous, passed the finishing line three times—backwards. First Aid A second boat, having had rapid First Aid treatment for a broken tiller, was seen to be sailing speedily round the first bend at the start of the race— unfortunately, once again in the wrong direction. However, success blessed the third boat, which came in first, well ahead of its competitors. In fact, the final placings proved to be, on aggregate, level pegging and it was decided to call it a draw. Indeed, considering the unfavourable conditions, both teams deserve credit for their performances, and much was learnt about river sailing. As well as team events, normal sailing took place on Wednesday at the Welsh Harp, where a Force Seven wind provided invigorating and energetic sport, not to mention several impromptu swims. Non-sailing activities are well under way, this Thursday being the date of the term's first social for the combined sailing clubs of London University. The Concourse Area has been booked for 7.30 p.m., where drinking, dancing and anything else that might occur, will take place during the evening. Brighton, the team defended for most of the first half. John Stead, at prop forward, broke his wrist early on but played on and only had it seen to when he came back to London. Once again good loose play and fine hooking by Mike Perry were notable features of this game. LSE completely overcame Sussex in the last twenty minutes, and were rewarded with a fine indlividual try from Bob Mercer.

Hallis made several strong goal kicks, and Bender and Salvage effectively broke up the Woolwich attack.

MOSER, Professor of Social Statistics and Director of the Unit for Economic and Statistical Studies on Higher Education, has been given leave of Absence from the School for three years to take up the post of Director of the Central Statistical Office. The post involves not only a responsbility for running the Department, which is part of the Cabinet Office, but also a wider responsibility for the statistical services of the Government generally. "The CSO deals primarily with the major economic statistics", Professor Moser told Beaver this week, "the statistics any government needs balance of payments, financial statistics and so on." Robbins Professor Moser came to the School as a student in 1940, and took the Bsc Econ degree with Statistics. He spent the war in the RAF, returning to LSE as Assistant Lecturer in 1946. He was given a Chair in Social Statistics in 1961, and was appointed Statistical Adviser to the Royal Commission on Higher Education (the Rob-bins Report). "I will be taking the post for three years from next April, and then returning to LSE," said Professor Moser. "But I have been given permission to spend a certain amount of time with the Unit for Research into Higher Education. This is the statistical Unit established after the Robbins report."

Three Tuns To Swallow Flor He? ^HE STUDENTS' Union is subsidising the School refectory — this surprising news came out of a joint staif-student Refectory Advisory Committee meeting held on Monday 24th October. Because of the convenience of the "Three Tuns" bar area, many students buy a lunch-time snack at Florrie's and then carry it into the student-run Three Tuns area to eat it. (Florrie's, the St. Clements' building coffee bar, is run by the Refectory.) This means that the space where the Three Tuns can seat its customers is reduced at the expense of an increase in accommodation for Florrie's. For months the Students' Union has been pressing for control of Florrie's. This Union subsidisation of the School was only one of the arguments put for student control. The whole of St. Clements' basement forms a natural service complex which should be run as one unit by the Union. The School insists that if it loses Florrie's, it will have to put up prices in the Refectory: this despite recommendations from both the Refectory Advisory Committee and Sir Sidney Caine that each Refectory outlet should them! The interests of the school are more important than those of the students. Apart from this, Florrie's would help the Three Tuns in lessening the desperate shortage of Union funds. Florrie herself is not happy about the proposed move. "I couldn't stay here if it was transferred to the Union," she told Beaver. "Not that I would want to leave — I enjoy working here, I wouldn't like to work in the Refectory. But with pension and things I couldn't start working for the Union now." be self-supporting. They claim experience is needed in running coffee bar facilities although the Union already does just this through the Tiiree Tun's lunch-time food service. But the most astounding suggestion was that the Union would have to keep Florrie's prices in line with those of the school, even if they could profitably reduce The report of the Refectory Action Committe is due to be published sometime in the near future Chairman Ronnie Millett told Beaver this week. "We anticipate general improvement of refectory services; we will fight price rises and quality deterioration; demand consultation before not after changes are made. We want to work with the Manager who is very cooperative though the school may oppose us on some things."

A CAREER IN THE SERVICE OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE THE CHILD CARE SERVICE, including residential posts such as those in approved schools, offers careers for men and women which are satisfying and worth while. It should appeal particularly to those who are looking for a career in which their concern for children can be expressed in a service of considerable importance to the community. CHILD CARE OFFICERS, most of whom are employed in the children's departments of local authorities, are appointed for the purpose of helping families who are encountering difficult circumstances in order that the children may continue to live at home; when this does not prove possible they ensure that individual plans are made for the care of the children and try by advice,-guidance and assistance to strengthen family life; they make enquiries whenever a local authority receives information suggesting a child is in need of care or protection and if it is impossible for them to remain at home make arrangements for placing them either in a foster home or in a children's home as may seem best in each particular case. TRAINING COURSES qualifying for the work of a child care officer are provided at a number of universities, including this one. These include post-graduate general courses, social casework and special courses in child care. Candidates for the one-year courses beginning in October each year must have university qualifications in social science. There are courses of seventeen months and two-years especially designed for graduates in subjects other than social science. More applications from men would be welcomed. SALARY on appointment by a local authority as a child care officer after training may rise to £1,170 although some authorities may offer higher scales according to experience. HOUSEMASTERS AND HOUSEMISTRESSES are required for challenging work in APPROVED SCHOOLS. The primary concern of these staff is the welfare, social re-education and leisure activities of the boys and girls in their charge. Graduates are eligible for appointment on scales rising to £1,255. There are also opportunities for QUALIFIED TEACHERS AND INSTRUCTORS in a wide range of subjects. Graduates can apply, after suitable experience, for one-year university courses of training to improve their qualification for posts in approved schools. Candidates accepted for training may be considered for Home Office grants. Write to Secretary, Central Training Council in Child Care (X9), Horseferry House, Dean Ryle Street, London, S.W.I.
