- Love At Twenty Depicted i in Fi ive Fi oreign Countries
As No Bed of Roses, But Moving and Provocative
by Constance Rosenblum.
If your conception of. love- at
twenty has been a frothy confec-
tion of hearts and: flowers, you'll
“probably be forced to revise it
_slightly after seeing the movie
Love at Twenty. In this movie,
love is more a conglomeration of
mufder and mystery than of moon-
light \serenades and romantic téte-
a-tétes:
~The - movie examines love in five
countries: ‘France, Italy, Japan,
Germany, and Poland. The first
two episodes were somewhat trite
and stereotyped; treatments. of
two-common. problems: the eternal
triangle,-‘and the . rejected young
lover.
In. Paris, alovesick boy, sisi
ted by an attractive student at the
Sorbonne, finds that all his man-
ipulations to attract her attention
are dismissed with; mild tolerance.
__He finally emerges —' pathetic and.
disillusioned — to find thakonly in
the girl’s parents’ eyes is he par-
ticularly important...The episode
which took place in Italy concern-
ed” a smoldering and : jealous
“other woman” and her attempts
to. poison. the heart of her newest
rival.
The last three episodes, though
not particularly sugar-coated, were
nevertheless provocative, slightly
distunbing, and. presented. with
more artistry than the preceding
two selections.
In Japan, love, by an ambiguous
transferénce of ‘emotions; is man-
ifest by hate and violence: a young
man is able to demonstrate his
“love” only by “choking to death
the girl whom the loved, when he
encounters her on a dark and lone-
ly street one evening. The guilt
that-results_from.this_act is_ulti-
mately transformed into hysteria,
and he verges on the state of con-
fession and repentence, but cannot
rid himself of the image of the.
pale and haunting face of the
girl-whom he has brut@ly murder-
ed. Nota very optimistic image of
romance, but nevertheless a power-
ful and sensitively performed des-
cription of convincing emotions.
In Germany, love is handled
more-lightly.. The father of an. il-

legitimate child returns to the
paby’s mother in an attempt to re-
examine their past mistakes and,
to reverse the traditional pattern
of love, romance, children. A few
beautiful. landscapes, the earthy
humor. of several. of the minor
Characters, and the hope that the
_ young father, when called away
Suddenly on business, will return
to the mother and child, give this
episode a far more optimistic and
appealing tone than the others.
The last examination of love,
which is set in Poland, is by far
the most outstanding part of the
movie. The theme is original, the
filming is artistic, and’ the emo-
‘ tions and characters are convinc-
- and well- developed.
It concerns a young girl who is
attracted to a man courageous
enough to leap into a bear-pit to
rescue a fallen child. She urges
him to come home with her, in an
effort to subtly induce him into her
shallow* and unexamined world.
But he, having undergone among -
other traumatic experiences, ‘vio-
lent. shock resulting from_ brutal
and terrifying experiences during
the War, is unable to enter her
world, or to understand her *be-
havior.
The episode ons with the girl ©
unable to fathom -his complexity,
and willing to relapse into a super-
ficial relationship with her imma-
ture.contemporaries. In contrast to
. the light: and fluffy beginning of
‘this series of short films, this en-
igmatic and disturbing ending was
excellent. -
~ Suggestions, But Few Contributions
‘Mark League’s Campus Fund Drive
by Diane Schuller
From the time that the League
was first organized, it has been an
association actively dealing with so-.
cial service and the philanthropic
enterprises which spring from busy
and. genervus spirits.
In the early part of this ‘year, the
League conducted. its annual Campus
Fund Drive. When the list calling
for the seiection of ten charities
from the many listed was sent to
the dormitories, there was a_ fine
response and hopes for collecting a
large sum of money for the charities
were high.
The results of the collection have
just been released. Unfortunately;
there were many more students who
offered suggestions of charities to
which’ the campus should contribute,
than studerts who actually gave to
them.
The total amount of money col-
lected was $830.60.. Pembroke East
led the college in contributing the
most amount of money to charities
with $137: Then-came:

on the contribution list, American
Friends received the largest amount
with UNICEF collecting almost an
_equal amount. ie
In past years there has been a
suggested minimum contribution of
ten dollars. This year there was no
set minimum. In past years a large
sum .of money ‘was. collected; this
year there was less. Some’ of those
in charge of the Campus Fund Drive
' feel that the students could. have
done more. In such .a matter there
is always more to be done.
