Co- E d Beauty Films This Week 'Where The Boys Are' Is Story Of Mass Migration MISS ANN SOUTHER Our co-ed beauty of the week is lovely and graceful Ann Souther. Ann, a Junior from Rockingham, N. C., is majoring in Art. Among her hobbies she lists sewing and music. She especially enjoys vocal music, and she plans to sing in the sumimer production of "Unto These Hills." She also likes to take long walks alone. Ann particularly dislikes people who try to like others. She is engaged to Sean Fitz- simmons who is the Eagle dancer in '"Unto These Hills." She is a member of the concert chorus and has served as a class officer. Ann is a gracious addition to our list of co-ed beauties and a great asset to anyone's list of friends. (Photo by Volger) "Where the Boys Are," the movie in Hoey on Friday, January 17, is a frolicsome fantasy about the mass migration of a very odd type of creature that staggers south to Florida every year in the early Spring. The migration lasts for a period of about two weeks after which the natives of the blighted areas in Florida spend the rest of the year practicing civil defense drills in preparation for the next spring. A description of these creatures is rather difficult but worth the attempt. First of all, they are susceptible to several exotic diseases including: bongo fever, dipsomania, and moon stroke. Due to their habit of congregating in large bodies on the beaches, some towns, such as Ft. Lauderdale have declared open season on them. The official name of this species is Joe-sus Collgiate-us. The female sometimes called wow, babe, sweets, cheese, or dog faithfully follows the male of the species, sometimes called: daddy, man, lover, or idiot, to his natural habitat for that is "Where The Boys Are." It is a real fun movie except for the unnecessary and heavy moral overtones. It stars a lot of swim wear and the bright sun and warm sands of Florida. De- lores Hart, Connie Francis, Paula Prentiss and Yvette Mimieux all display a great deal of fun talent. Chill Wills, who also stars, has a lot of acting ability but no fun talent, but then he is in civil defense. Show time is 7:30 p.m. and admission is 25c. A lightly fictionalized account of the most sensational murder of the century provides the background for "Compulsion." Based on the Loeb, Leopold murder of 1924 it recreates the horror of the brutal, senseless murder of a Chicago youth by the two young law students. Loeb Book Review Novel Satirizes Sex, Money, Bigotry By Leon Singleton Occasionally in reading one finds a freshness of style, characterization, and thought culminated in one novel. "ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR MISUNDERSTANDING" is such a novel. Written by Robert Gover, this book approaches the problem of a society that does not always do what it says in a unique and humourous manner. In characterization it is comparable to the best of J. D. Salinger's works. The two main characters are a college sophomore, J. C. Holland, and a fourteen-year-old negro prostitute named Kitten. The narration of the book is separated into two monologues: the events as experienced through Holland's senses and the same events described by Kitten. This is done without repetition. Holland's narration is devoid of obscenity and detail. His is the normal, conformed mind of an average college sophomore, and being a nice young man, he does not wish to offend with his words. He offends with himself. While living and moving in the same world with Kitten, he comprehends none of the values that shape and have shaped her life. Kit- Hard facts for §®{Rt Americamii Muscles are meant to be used. When they aren't used, or are not used vigorously enough, they deteriorate. We become fat orf l3bby. Consider what's happening to •ur children. By the time an average child reaches high school ■ge, he or she spends 15 to 30 hours a week in front of a TV set —and less than two hours a week in physical education classes. In fact, 60% of our schools have no daily physical education program. Result: one-third of our nation'; youth can't pass even minimun Physical achievement tests. What can be done? It's up to you. Insist that you child's school provide at least It minutes of planned physical activity for every boy and every girl. Discuss this with your local school officials. To help you evaluate the fitnes program in your child's school, the President's Council on Physical Fitness, Washington 25, D.C., wilf send you a free booklet. ten, who is illiterate, does not understand anything much beyond survival, physical comfort and the fact that Holland has one hundred dollars. As she narrates the happenings, she says exactly what she thinks in her hilarious dialect. Each in turn is unable to grasp the meaning of the other's way of life. There is never any real communication between their two worlds and although the object of misunderstanding is one hundred dollars, the basic misunderstanding lies much deeper Kitten sees Holland as an investment, a source of income, an easing of her life. From the first encounter when Holland flashes his money, Kitten designs to please him, to lead him to her apartment, and to provide herself with a steady income. Holland is receptive, but he believes that he has overwhelmed her with his charm and manliness. In what he believes is a moment of inspiration, he tells Kitten that he is a burglar wanted by the police and that he needs somewhere to hide. Kitten fails to comprehend why he has told her this fantastic lie, but she pretends to believe it. It accomplishes her purpose and puts her that much closer to the one hundred dollars. She gives Holland the key to her apartment. The next two days are spent first in the pursuit of the money by Kitten and then in Holland's attempt to regain it. Kitten feels the money is justly hers. She has earned it. Holland feels she has stolen it and at knife point. He is determined to recover what is his. Kitten, for all her scheming, foolishly gives Holland the keys to Madam's Crysler, and he craftily holds it for ransom. The denouement is a happy one however, for Kitten with the aid of her counselor and confidant Francine, dupes the gullible Holland. First slipping him knockout pills, they remove all but his outer clothing which they turn inside out. Then they stuff him into a cab and send him back to his fraternity house. Ridiculed by his brothers, betrayed by his lover, and somewhat humbled, Holland nurses his bruised ego. Kitten, meanwhile, is studying pills. Filled with biting coment, the book is good reading either for amusement or for its satirical value. One of the most notable passages in the book is Kitten's commentary on television. Gover also manages to thrust barbs deeply into several other tender spots in our social order. Sex, money, and bigotry are bleeding wounds by the end of the book. The book is highly recommended. No college student's library should be without it. (called Artie Shaw in the movie) was an extrovert, a student of Nietzsche, and believed himself to be a super- intellect and thus above the law. This paranoia led to his eventual capture. Leopold (Judd Steiner in the film) was a quietly mannered introvert. Tormented by schizophrenia and dominated by the stronger Loeb, he became a willing accomplice to the crime. The movie deals little with Loeb and Leopold's bizarre relation. Rather, it concentrates on the arrest and trial portion of the case. Orson Welles portrays the defense attorney, who saves them from the gallows, with particular authority. Clarence Darrow, the most famous trial lawyer of his day who defended Loeb and Leopold could not have been one whit more convincing in reality that Welles is in the movie version. Bradford Dillman as Artie Shaw, Dean Stockwell as Judd Steiner, and Diane Varsi as Steiner's girlfriend complete the cast. "Compulsion" will be shown in Hoey Auditorium on Tuesday, January 21 at 7:30 p.m. Admission is 25c. Due to the fact that The Western Carolinian will not go to press next week, Movies for the following will be listed here. On Friday, January 24, "The Day Mars Invaded The Earth" is being shown in Hoey Auditorium. The following Tuesday, January 28, Hoey is screening "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing." Show times are 7:30 p.m. and admission is 25c.

The other day I had her in lor coffee, and it was fun to hear her exclaim, "Why, all your kitchen tools are new\" "Not new," I answered with a laugh. "But they look good as new, don't they? They're stainless steel." Her remark called for a tour of my tidy little kitchen. What had first caught her eye? My row of beaters, ladles, spatulas and carving equipment. They winked and gleamed at us from the wall. "Stainless steel won't rust," I told my neighbor, "even in contact with acid foods." It surprised me that she knew so little about the endless uses of carefree stainless—especially for the busiest room in the house. I showed her my. wipe-clean stainless steel wall oven, counter tops and dishwasher. "And here's something else I think you'd appreciate," I said, waving a hand in pride toward my immaculate kitchen sink. "It's stainless, too. This sink takes rough treatment but comes up shiny bright every time. Stainless surfaces are non-porous , . . dirt and resulting discoloration don't get to first base here." In fact, according to a recent survey sponsored by Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation, over 50% of the sinks in test kitchens of professional home economists are made from stainless steel. The quick-cleaning quality plus permanent beauty of stainless have made the metal "a kitchen pet" of busy housewives everywhere. My new neighbor went home with a gleam in her eye. I'll just bet there are changes in store for her own kitchen 1 By Charles Stephens Just what does it take to make up the perfect co-ed? Perhaps there isn't a clear answer to such a question, but it is clear that many of the girls on our campus possess the qualities associated with such a title. One such girl is Teresa Roberts. Teresa, an Elementary Education major from Jacksonville, Florida, is a member of the Junior class and a great asset to our cheering squad. sa adds to campus life with her school spirit and pleasing personality. Her ready smile makes her a favorite among Freshmen as well as upperclassmen. Her brown hair and eyes make her what could be termed "awfully cute." Cheering the Catamounts on to victory is Teresa's "first love" here at school even though she is active in many of the school functions. "I love to cheer," says Teresa. "It has helped me to learn to stand in front of people, and it gives me a way to show my appreciation to the team and the school. One of the most thrilling things that has happened to me here at WCC was the trip which we took to Kansas City last year. It was thrilling cheering in front of so many people." When asked what she liked a- bout Western Carolina, Teresa was quick to comment on the friendliness of the poeple. "I think the people here are great! I've seen lots of students front other schools, and I think ours Mathew Brady Photographs To Be Displayed In Library A display of enlarged photographs made from original Mathew Brady glass plates will be on display in the glass cases outside Hunter Library for two weeks starting January 22. This exhibit is being sponsored by Western Carolina Photographic Society. The pictures, part of a traveling gallery prepared by the Ansco Camera Services Department, Binghamton, New York, include portraits of such famous dignitaries as Presidents Lincoln and Grant as well as Generals Custer and Sheridan. Also on display will be a rare group of Civil War pictures. These on-the-spot scenes, made by Mathew Brady and his associates, provide an intimate view of actual war-time conditions in the trenches, on the battlefields and in the camps. Mathew Brady, known to everyone as the "Civil War Photographer," was one of the pioneers in American Photography. His contributions in the field of art are overshadowed in part by his outstanding work as a photographic historian. The public is invited to come and see the historical records made possible by this famous photographer. GENERAL ARMSTRONG CUSTER, best known for his famous "Last Stand" at Little Big H^rn.

OPEN ALL DAY WEDNESDAY Terrific Teresa. Trio To Sing Here Feb. 17 Any erring student had better take cover. The Chad Mitchell Trio is romping into Western Carolina College for a spectacular performance at Reid Gymnasium on February 17th. The Trio stands alone in the currently swirling folk music scene. It is neither "ethnic" nor "pop folk." Instead, the Chad Mitchell Trio is a group that has chosen folk music as the most effective medium in which it can express itself. "The John Birch Society" is the song with which the Trio has been most closely identified. Their recording of the Bircher spoof was banned on radio stations across the country, while played continuously on scores of others. Most TV shows have shied away from the tune, and until recently, when the Trio signed with Mercury Records, no record company would touch their renditions of a new graduation song for Ole Miss ("My girl was only seventeen, When she was chosen Riot Queen") and "The Twelve Days of Christmas," as sung by a trio of neo- Nazis. Both will be heard in the Lyceum-sponsored concert called SINGIN' OUR MIND. The Chad Mitchell Trio originated at Gonzala University in Spokane, Washintgon, when the three suddenly became aware of folk music through the then- popular recording of "Tom Dooley." During their first year they sang for campus groups, clubs and parties in the Spokane. The group eventually traveled to New York, and once there, they broke into show business with unbelievable speed. Since then, the Trio has become a headlining item at plush clubs across the country, at scores of colleges and on such TV shows as the Bell Telephone Hour, Ed Sullivan, "Hootenanny," "Tonight," and Dinah Shore. Definitely one of the top three or four folk sinigng groups in the country, the Mitchells are, as you might expect, rather busy young men. Does the steady grind of one-night college concerts, noisy club engagements, recording sessions and TV appearances ever get them down? "Sure, sometime," they are quick to reply, "But we've also never had more fun in our lives." They are on their way to where the nights are gay and the snow freezes daily on the mountain tops. That's the Chad Mitchell Trio "Singin' Our Minds" for the students of Western Carolina. . are by far the friendliest." She also likes the cold weather which Cullowhee seems to get quite frequently. She especially likes snow and ice skating. In typical college fashion, Teresa is an avid dancer and this pastime helps to add a little flavor to some of those "off" week-ends. Teresa is an active member of Sigma Kappa Sorority. She feels that sorority life is very beneficial to a girl in that it teaches a girl to work lor the good of a group instead of an individual. Commenting on the Sylva problem, Teresa was very serious, "The situation is bad, and as we all know, both parties will have to work together If a solution is to be reached. I don't fed that the college or the town can be blamed for the problem. It seems to be a small group who can't seem to agree on a few things. The college helps the town by giving it business, and Sylva contributes its support to the college — this alone is a basis for our working together." A resident of Albright Dorm, Teresa is a delegate to Woman's House Government. She has leadership qualities which are best demonstrated on the floor of Reid Gymnasium at all our ballgames. She likes the life she leads in her dorm — a life which only the girls can fully appreciate. Of course, things can get a little rowdy in Albright-Benton as well as in Reynolds, but what would life in a dorm be without noise? Personality, charm, beauty, and school spirit — what more can we ask of our co-eds? Even if we could come up with more suggestions, why should we try to improve on this? Teresa Roberts is a true example of the typical co-ed. Her genuine interest in the school and the stu-. dents who make it up, are qualities which are to be desired by all.
