So you don't like Shakespeare? If your dislike of Shakespeare- is based on your high school experiences with Julius caesar, etc.-- which meant sitting ' quietly at a hard desk, reading lines from a heavy textbook, and meme orizing archaic wordssw then you are in for a‘ big, pleasant surprise if you attend the Shakes- peare Film Series!

The first film, The Taming g£_£hg Shrew, will be shown Sunday evening at 7:30 at the Confederation Centre Lecture Theatre. The film, starring Eliz—j abeth Taylor aSVthe'skrew" man who can "tame" her, and Michael York, is a comedy——a rowdy, lively, bawdy, slapstick affair that is just what Shakes— ’ peare wanted for his own audience. ’

Seeing a film based on a Shakespeare play is like seeing any other good film: The charac- ters are well developed;

and out off from others.

Yet loneliness in one form or another is experienced by all of us. It can come down-like an enveloping

'cloud all of a sudden or it

can steal up on us gradually be we out Pigging and whistling, crowding into the

VBarn or sitting in on a

noisy‘party.

It would be wrong, how— ever, to say that all loneliness —— better, "aloneness" is bad. A certain kind of aloneness incommunicability of our— selves is inevitable.. We all have different thumb prints. Each of us is unique. vAnd sometimes that part of me which is the most me—est of me I find

or

the language is understand- able to a modern person,

' and the acting, postuming,

and staging are excellent. And seeing a film based

on a Shakespeare comedy

is even better than see— ing most other films, because it is consistantly funny, from beginning

_to end. Tickets‘for Taming

lg§_th§ Shrew are $1.50

at the door the night of the film (October 3). “Season tickets for all . eight films in the series

cost $10 and are availabIe' at the UPEI Bookstore,

at the Student Union Office, from Rebecca Smith (Main 405, phone local 355), at the Confederation Centre Box Office, and at the door on Sunday night. The series is co-sponsered by The Department of English and the Depart- ment of Extension at UPEI.

This kind of loneliness is not destructive. Ac— cepted, lived with and let be, it can bring to a deeper understanding of our— selves. It can be creative. It can bring us into the presence of God.

There is another kind of loneliness sometimes called loneliness anxiety—— actually, fear of loneliness. This is the killer.* No _learned dissertation here as to its causes or - origins. The psychologists and the sociologists can tell you all about it. Suffice it to say We all experience it from time to time. An empty silence, a feeling of being cut off from others, of being cut off from our own real self. And it hurts. Believers have it that this kind of loneliness is the essence of hell-— the utter absence of God, the utter absence of love.

************** .

Isn't all this just a “bit heavy for someone who is lonely now only be— cause it is really the first time away from home or because the boy—friend/girl—friend chose to go to another university? Perhaps.‘

But loneliness (the

nasty kind) is a form

of pollution and we do well to consider it so as to know how to fight against it. Fighting against it for others will be a help to ourselves.' So the word is:”BECOME MORE SENSITIVE TO THE LONE LINESS OF OTHERS. N6? in the sense that you sport your Brownie badge

word from ACT

and go around pushing your way into other pe0ple's lives. "Ho, you poor slob. I preceive you to be lonely and alienated. Tell me about it." That just might not work!

Be sensitive to the need of building a sense of community on your floor, at your end of the corridor, in your boarding house —- maybe in your own family. Sensitive to the awkward shyness of someone who can be help— ed by something as un- complicated as a smile. Even a crooked grin might {do it.

Ickish? Perhaps. but hear it out. Smiling and-making with a a friendly "hello" on campus is more effective than fourteen residence parties in the "Stamp Out the Pollution of Loneliness" campaign. The smiler (genuine smiler) says without saying, " I see you. I notice you over there. You are a -fellow human being -— be greeted!" And the smilee, the receiver of the hello and the smile, says to himself even if he cannot muster more than an acknowledging grunt, "Lo, a fellow human being has looked this way. He seems to be friendly. Maybe next time he will talk. Things are look— ing up around here!"

Dangerous? Of c0urse. You run the risk of being Vaccused of being a hustler.. or a hustleress. But charity your neighbourhood Gury will tell you, is not

always an easy virtue

to practise. So don't you mind. Take yourself, Because all of us can be lonely, once in a while.

(And is there anyone

at all?

Yes..there's YOU.
