Gines said.
“Our present feelings have a lot to
do about what went on in the past,
she said.’Those things come to light
when the poems are read.”
Gines said she believed the club
not only demonstrated the talent stu

unified the students involved.

Supposedly the tension and

develop affection for Young’s

Unfortunately, Young can’t act. And
without a strong performance from
the lead, this film can’t succeed.

Pianist George Winston to perform at Lied
f
„ From Staff Reports
L
Accomplished pianist George
Winston will bring his jazz-influ
' enced style to the Lied Center on
i Thursday, Oct. 3. Winston, who nor
/ mally performs two different shows a
^ year, will be presenting his Winter
Concert, full of the material compris
s ing his acclaimed “December” al
t bum, as well as R&B, blues, jazz, and
rock standards.
Winston has pioneered what crit
ics have for years dubbed the “new
age” music of the day. His stark origi
nal melodies and variations on classi
cal anthems have been big sellers
nationwide.
Winston’s style has been described
as “rural folk piano.” While rural
and “folk” tend to denote countfy or
western styles, the term probably
oversimplifies his approach. Winston s
performances are known for their lack
of synthesizers, relying instead on a
basic grand piano.
Winston’s Lied Center perform
ance will mark a rare trip to Ne
braska, and the first opportunity for
many Lincolnites to hear Winston s
music live. Tickets for George Win
ston’s Winter Concert are available
at the Lied Center box office. Re
served seats are $ 16, $ 12 for students.
Those attending the concert are
asked to bring a donation of canned
food, which will go to the Lincoln
Food Bank. Collection baskets will
be placed at the entrance.
! Cafe
Continued from Page 9
“Cafe” certainly is grounded firmly
in realism. It’s gothic and yet is nearly
without time or place or even a dis
tinctive locale. Its unnamed town is a
stereotypical representation of the rural
South, with its crude backwardness
and isolation. The story is described
by Callow as “primitive.”
Above all, it’s an unnerving and
startling tale of the South during the
great depression, and the battle in
curred after a 10-day marriage be
tween the local eccentric, Miss Amelia
(Vanessa Redgrave), and the local
criminal, Marvin Macy (Keith Car
radine).
After the last of Marvin’s nightly
pleas for sex, and Miss Amelia’s last
refusal, the marriage explodes and
Marvin is thrown out of the house,
never having been any closer to his
bride than when he stood next to her
on the alter.
It isRevercndWillin (Rod Steiger)
who marries the couple, and later
describes the forces which brought
Marvin to Amelia and how the ab
sence of those same forces will cause
her to reject him.
The re verend ’ s proposal s concern -
ing love and its manipulative nature
is the film’s simple, dramatic ele
ment.
The characters’ subtle expressions
are disquieting, as is the film in gen
eral.
While the story stumblcscuriously
along, it never loses direction. When
a humpback midget named Lyman
appears in the town, claiming to be
kin to Miss Amelia, it’s obvious that
things arc not as they seem.
“The Ballad Of The Sad Cafe” is a
film that is constantly unfolding into
different arenas of the psyche. Its
appearance is simple and sometimes
minimal. Still, those raging under
currents are there, plowing through
and threatening to drag everyone along.

meetings have contributed to a har
mony between men and women.
“At our meetings, men have beei
brought to a deeper understanding o
the female experience, and the sam<
goes for females. There has been a lo
more sensitivity between the genders,
she said.
Gines said she planned to invit
popular black poets to campus am
would help put together a poetr
yearbook showcasing each of th
authors.
A poem reveals much about it
author because poets’ feelings arc nc
“sugar-coated,” she said.
“Poetry is a whole different artis
tic, verbal expression in a way ms
you don’t get anywhere else,” Gmc
said. “It is one of the greatest cmc
tional expressions.”_
