Films This Week Wayne, Whitman Star In 'The Comancheros Tues. The Girl In The Red Velvet Swing is an ancient production that defies research to find its exact vintage. It deals with a very famous Gibson Girl at the turn of the century and an equally famous scandal in which she was involved. Married to one man and in love with another, both from fine old New York families, she continues to dilly dally with her lover until her overly jealous husband shoots him with an exquisite silver pistol. The murder is done dramatically in a crowded night club. As the lover lies dying, the husband holds the pistol aloft and says very self righteously, "I killed him because he ruined my wife." In the following trial all the money and power of the two families are brought to bear. Due to the circumstances and a good lawyer the husband escapes with his life. This writer believes that the movie is worth seeing, but cautions that he was just a lad when he saw it and .-, *v*t sr 'u ,,.-.. e e e> «, ZANY PILLOW— Dress up a dorm room with a "sick" pillow made from scraps of cotton feed and flour bags.

John Wayne, playing the role of a Texas Ranger, hauls Stuart Whitman off a boat in Galveston with the intention of returning him to Louisiana to stand trial for murder. Wayne stupidly grows to trust Whitman and turns his back on him. Whitman promptly clubs him on the head with a shovel and takes his leave. They are not to be separated for long, however, and meet again as Wayne is cooly sending a wild Lee Marvin to Boot Hill. Brought together, so it seems, by fate, the two invade the stronghold of the Comancheros, a band of white renegades. The head man is Nehe- miah Persoff who is as elegantly cultivated as he is evil. His lovely ward (Ina Balin) falls in love with Whitman which saves both he and Wayne as she chooses her new love over her old way of life. Having been summoned by Miss Balin, a troop of Rangers arrive at the last minute to extricate Wayne and Whitman and smash the Comancheros.

(Photo by Vogler) Law Officers Criticized By Leon Singleton Recent events should have given North Carolinians cause for great concern with respect to the ability, effectiveness, and efficiency of law enforcement organizations on the local level. The first and most widely publicized incident was the televised murder of accused assasin, Lee Oswald. Under the law, an innocent man, Oswald was brutally shot to death due to a lack of foresight on the part of police officials in Dallas, Texas. Although there was an overwhelm, ing array of facts pointing to his guilt, Lee Oswald died an innocent man. This is something that we seem to be losing sight of; the fact that a man is innocent until proven guilty and that the burden of proof lies with the state. What has this to do with North Carolina? Let us then examine the recent accusation of Frank Joseph Rinaldi relating to the murder of his wife in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Mr. Rinaldi was charged with the murder on almost no evidence and what little existed was purely circumstantial. For lack of a better suspect and/or ability to conduct a proper investigation, the Chapel Hill police department charged Rinaldi with the slaying and as much as indicated that he must prove himself innocent. It is ironic that the autopsy, which Rinaldi ordered and paid for by himself, showed that the cause of death was suffocation and not a Best Dressed Collegiate Girls Sought In Contest At a time when college fashions are being copied throughout the nation by young and old alike, Glamour Magazine is helping to promote the viewing of current styles by sponsoring their annual "Best Dressed College Girls" contest. This contest is to find the ten best dressed college girls in America. The object of this competition, according to Glamour's Contest Editor Lucia D. Carpenter, is to show college women that the development of good taste and good grooming should be an integral part of an education that develops the well-rounded mind. This development, rather than depending on money or an extensive wardrobe, depends on an intelligent, imaginative approach to ones appearance, an approach that will allow a girl to enjoy her looks without being preoccupied with them. The winning girl at W.C.C. will, as will all other college winners, . be photographed in three outfits, which will be sent to Glamour for the national judging. Those selected as the "Ten Best Dressed College Girls for 1964" will be photographed for the August College issue of Glamour and will receive an all- 1 expense trip to New York from , June 1 to June 13, 1964. The staff of the Western Carolinian plans to run the contest here on campus, so further details will be published later concerning the on-campus competition. More Information Needed For Tags The state's approximately 2 million motor vehicle owners will be buying the new tags in the next 45 days but will need additional insurance information this year. Vehicle owners will have to give the name of the insurance company with which they are insured, the policy number and the date insurance began. If you do not have this readily at hand, call your independent insurance agent and obtain this information. Unless the insurance information is included on the license application (the FR2 form sent out by the Motor Vehicle Department) the tag cannot be issued.

OPEN ALL DAY WEDNESDAY blow on the head as had been believed earlier. This placed the time of death well after the defendant had left for Durham on a Christmas shop- ing trip. Why did the coroner not order the autopsy? What would have taken place if the defendant had been financially unable to have paid for the autopsy? Why were police officials so unco-operative with Rinaldi's attorney? These are frightening questions. The horrible indication being that if these questions are not answered perhaps the next such defendant will not be so fortunate. Another consideration in looking at the "guilty until proven innocent" attitude of policemen is the case with which an individual can be absolutely railroaded on a minor charge. In most minor cases involving misdemeanors it is much cheaper to plead guilty and pay a small fine than it is to hire a lawyer to prove one's innocence. Does, for instance, a policeman's badge delegate him the authority to look at someone and judge him guilty of public drunkeness, and judgment it is! The decision left to the accused is this: plead guilty to the charge and pay the fine or hire a lawyer to defend him and still run the risk of losing. If one is innocent why should he fear losing? Unfortunately the testimony of officers on the witness stand is not always cognizant with the actual facts. These examples are not isolated incidents. Rather they seem to be the rule not the exception. In the light of these happenings it seems that a long look at our system of law enforcement is in order. To be complacent about injustice done to someone else is to invite personal disaster. 'Pnittted<ia.

Q 1 year $20 □ 6 months $10 Q 3 months $5 Name Address Baldwins 'Another Country' Probes P r obi ems Of Integration by T. C. Roberts ANOTHER COUNTRY is New York City, although it doesn't especially have to be there. Another country can be anywhere that the mind of one individual is capable of breaking away from the sometimes ridiculous rules set up by an established society. ANOTHER COUNTRY is a novel by James Baldwin. Mr. Baldwin's novel tells of an affair between a white girl and a negro man, an affair between two young men, and (of all things!) an affair between a ly married couple. I cannot explain how James Baldwin slipped up and placed a happily married couple into ANOTHER COUNTRY except to say that perhaps he meant to make up for his mistake by converting the happily married couple into an unhappily married couple, since the wife decides she is tired of being happy and ends up having an affair with one of the young men, the other young men being away in Paris at the time. Isn't it wonderfully complicated and confusing? I doubt that even James Baldwin could figure out who was having an affair with whom by the time he was three quarters of the way through his book. All these affairs may have been what inspired Norman Baylor to decide that the other country is "another country of love," since all the affairs are those not accepted by our established society. However, all's well that ends well, and the novel ends happily with everyone having an affair with whom he wanted to in the first place. The wife returns to her husband, the young man in Paris returns to his young man in New York, and the negro girl and the live together compatibly for ever and ever. Amen. As a matter of fact, everyone lives white man decide they can happily ever after except one negro man who leaps off the Brooklyn Bridge, reprimanding God all the way down because God made him black instead of green or orange or purple or some other color. This doesn't effect his white girl friend though because she's babbling away in some Southern mental institution, searching for a child she had by a previous unhappy affair with a white husband even before the novel begins. I suppose that from reading this article thus far one would gather that I did not enjoy ANOTHER COUNTRY. On the contrary, I think that ANOTHER COUNTRY is one of th, contemporary novels I have ever read, and I am only disappointed because I did not read the book when it was first published a few years ago. James Baldwin has several things to say and he says them very well and with awakening, shocking power. True, almost everything ends happily (unlike reality, you say?, but this book does not end on a happy note merely because the author has written it this way in the last few chapters. All through the novel Mr. Baldwin has maneuvered his characters so that, by the end of the book, they have no other choice than to turn in the direction they do. The obvious dominating theme concerns the constant struggle between negroes and whites living together in peace. James Baldwin says that negroes and whites can live together, but he carries his ideas somewhat to the extreme which the majority of us, both negro and white, do not want. However, I do not feel that James Baldwin writes about negroes and white having intimate relations merely because of the sensationalism, but because he thinks that we need to be shocked into realization of the problem which is very much with us — the problem of integration at all and, if so, how much? Also, we must realize the story of ANOTHER COUNTRY is about New York, and not a- bout friendly, friendly Western Carolina College. Compared to those of New York, I can imagine that the feelings of the people at Western Carolina are quite different. Whether this is for good or for bad, it is not for me to say. James Baldwin is a negro, and I greatly admire him. We all know that the racial situation is a controversial topic, but the author of ANOTHER COUNTRY handles the subject with neutral imprejudice. I admire Baldwin even more after recently seeing a picture in the issue of Life magazine which covered the funeral of President Kennedy. There was a full-page picture contained therein of a young negro boy with a tear in his eye, holding a burning candle in memory of the President. Why was this boy negro and not white Mr. Baldwin believes that integration is inevitable but, like many of us, he believes that it must come with gradual acceptance rather than the cheap propaganda such magazines try to shove down our throats. Upon reading ANOTHER COUNTRY, my immediate impression was that it Is extremely enlightening, as well as entertaining, and I recommend it to anyone who Is willing to learn that the world isn't always what we're taught in Sunday School. CLUB & CAMPUS FASHIONS City Zone State VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF SLACKS-as long as the variety's confined to fabric. Cut remains trim and tapered, pleatless and with a plain waistband. Real winners are worsteds with a smooth finish, or wool-and-polyester blends with a flannel finish. Take a look at both darker and intermediate tones—oxford grays, olives, dark brown, as well as the middle mixtures—then make your command decision on the basis of the blend or contrast with your jackets. RIDING HIGH on campuses throughout the country is the hi-riser shoe, now available in smooth leathers like cordovan, as well as brushed leathers. A good choice for all but the most formal occasion—or the football field—is the popular slip-on. The traditional moccasin is the theme—and its variations are very nearly unlimited! Grained leather slip-ons are new for Fall, and watch particularly for grained leathers in black. Equally smart is the wing- tip, one of this season's revivals. TOP IT OFF WITH TWEEDS, TOO-now that sport hats are being made of this fabric favorite! You can have a sport model hat with pinch crown and narrow brim in a variety of tweeds, as well as the regulation flat country cap. If you'd rather concentrate on corduroy, you can find plenty of hats to your taste—usually wide-wale, with broad band and feather mount. So don't overlook the multiple possibilities of the fabric hat for the sporting life! t his season, the big topic is the return to tweed—rugged, textured, and in a wide variety of patterns. Take tweed into account when you're picking out your sport jackets, and for a new suit to wear on or off-campua, on weekends, or what you will I RUNNING NECK AND NECK m the sweep. stakes for tweed sport jackets are race-track plaids, herringbones and diagonals. Race-track patterns are found in strong, vigorous color combinations like gold, amber and blue, while the biggest thing in herringbone is bold black-and-white or black-and-gray. Multicolor diagonals come in heather tones with a muted, misty effect. Even the ubiquitous blazer is newly disguised in tweed, with broad—almost awning—stripes in unusual and interesting colors. Whatever you choose, your jacket still sports its classic cut, straight-hanging, with natural shoulders, center vent and 3-button closure. THE CAMELS ARE COMING—This rich, medium brown shade will blend well with every other color in your wardrobe—so look for camel color in sport jackets, cardigans, pullovers and zipper jackets, among other things. You name it—you'll find it in camel! STRONG, STURDY CORDUROY is still the mainstay of the campus wardrobe—especially in the newer, wider-wale weaves. Sport jackets come equipped with the popular leather patches that keep you from coming out-at-elbow while adding a smart touch. Both jackets and slacks will be in demand in the neutral, natural tans, while olives are with us still. Or you might try the latest corduroy—camel, what else ?
