  • Friday, March 20, 1964 Page 4 J Co-ed Beauty BARBARA WILSON Our Co-ed beauty of the week is lovely Barbara Wilson from Asheville. Barbara is a transfer from the University of Colorado and is a member of the Senior class. She has brown hair which, combined with green eyes, make her (to coin a phrase) "cute." Barbara's majors are Business and Zoology. An individual, Barbara likes to study and dance. This 21 year old beauty is truly an asset to the college and to our list of beauties. Annual Science Fair Planned Tomorrow, March 21, the annual Western North Carolina District Science Fair will be held here at Western Carolina College in Breese Gymnasium. The approximately 100 exhibits done by science students in about fourteen Western North Carolina counties will be on display from 8:00 A.M. till 3:00 P.M. The entries in this science fair are to be divided into two divisions, Junior High and Senior High School level. In turn, each division is sub-divided into two categories, physical and biological. In the Junior division, prizes and certificates will be awarded to the top three exhibits in each category, while in the Senior group, the five best displays in both the physical and biological sub-divisions will be given prizes, plus the opportunity to compete in the N. C. State Science Fair at Duke University in April. The winners of this W.N.C. District Science Fair will be announced at 3:00 p.m. tomorrow afternoon by Mr. Julian Hirt, district director of the Science Fair, at an assembly in Hoey Auditorium. Dr. Paul A. Reid, President of Western Carolina College, will also address the assembly. The best viewing time for the Science Fair will be tomorrow afternoon, due to the fact that the students will be setting up their displays in the morning. The judging will also be done at that time. Turtle Race Is Success VISIT THE F&P SUPER MARKET it Groceries it Fresh Meats it Frozen Foods Open 7 Days A Week Cullowhee Road at Cope Creek Intersection PADGETT McCOY By Charles Stephens An expectant hush falls over the crowd as the opponents approach the starting line. A trumpet completes the last notes of the call to the post. Last minute bets are in, preparations are over and the moment of truth is at hand. Hurst R. Anderson, President of American University in Washington takes his position and announces to a crowd of over 300 students, "By the authority vested in me by the Congress of the United States and the board of trustees, I declare the first annual Turtle International begun." Fifty one turtles from colleges and universities over the land pay him little heed and the drive for charity is at a standstill. Thus began the first annual Turtle International, held in Washington, D. C. last February. The race was staged to raise money for charity and open to any college in the United States and indeed to any college in any country. Turtles from such schools as Pennsylvania State University, Purdue University, Texas A&M, and Furman all went to Wash ington to carry their school colors. "Gladstone II" of Oxford University in England "carried the ball" for his school. And before you ask — yes, WCC had an entry! "Little Caesar," a reputable turtle of average size did the honors for the purple and gold. "Little Caesar," a name chosen by our Student Senate, represented our school well in Washington, and even though he did not win, he brought a little recognition to WCC besides adding the sum of $6.00 to charity. After all, it's the spirit that counts and it takes a lot of spirit for a turtle to "race" in front of 300 people. The race was sponsored by American University to gain recognition and to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy. Reaction from other schools was varied, but overall much interest was shown in this unique undertaking. The University of Toronto was instulted at being asked to participate in such an activity, while Rider College sent a letter of congratulations. The University of Rhode Island replied with this humorous statement, "All the turtles in the local Great Swamp have been organ- Films Th;v Week Film Biography Of Franz Liszt Is Offered In Hoey Tuesday ized by 'an unscrupulous turtle named Burl' into a professional bowling league." They instructed Turtle International to enter a turtle in their name, and to preserve their local pride, to circulate the rumor that this turtle was "born in the Great Swamp (or maybe that his mother was scared by a turtle born in the Great Swamp)." Of course, Turtle International is not just for publicity or fun. It has its serious side. The entry fees to and contributions for TI go to Muscular Dystrophy Associations of America to aid its research program. In a letter from John Travers of Muscular Dystrophy Associations o f America, TI was told, "A turtle moves slowly but inexorably toward its goal. So does research. Your support from preliminary on-campus events and through entry fees from participating universities for the turtle race, may well shorten the difficult course facing our researchers and scientists." The apparent winner of the race was the Muscular Dystrophy Association, which netted approximately $440.00 in contributions. "Tuffy" of Tufts University was the winning reptile, while "Centennial Sam" from the University of Nevada finished second. "Palmolive Pete" of Colgate University took an easy third, and Montana Mangier" finished fourth. Tuffy walked (I should say crawled) off with a giant trophy and the satisfaction of knowing that he is the fastest turtle in college. Showing tonight in Hoey Auditorium is Lonely Are The Brave, a movie dealing with the impossibility of pure freedom in the mechanized age in which we live. Jack Burns, a happy-go- lucky cowboy portrayed by Kirk Douglas, maneuvers himself into jail to help an imprisoned friend escape. The friend, played by Michael Kaine, has been arrested for giving food and shelter to wetbacks. Having a wife and family to support, the friend chooses to remain In Jail and serve out his short sentence. Burns then escapes alone and heads for the Mexican border. He is pursued by a rather disinterested sheriff who cares Just enough about his duty to prevent letting Burns escape. On his side, Burns has his rifle and his horse. Opposing him are the accoutrements of the modern manhunt, Including a helicopter contributed by an eager Air Force general. As the movie moves to Burns' final dash for refuge, he has become the symbol of uncompromising freedom, and It Is unthinkable that he could be defeated. Douglas does his role more than justice, and humor is added by the sheriff and a lazy sergeant who has a way of repeating everything that is said to him. The photography is uniquely striking. Show time for this fine piece of work is 7:30 p.m., and admission is 25c. Song Without End is the offering in Hoey on March 24th. (TUESDAY) It is a biographical film of the life, loves, sins, and musical genius of Franz Liszt. Dirk Bogarde portrays Liszt and Capucine co-stars as the beautiful princess Carolyne, who is the object of the composers love and affection. The conflict in the film centers around whether the two should go on playing a duet, since the Princess is already married, or whether they should be nice and play a refrain. If one needs to see the movie to guess the answer; one should. Showtime for this bit of musical history is 7:30 pjn. On Thursday, March 26th, THE RED SHOES will be shown in the Gallery of Hunter Library. The movie is based on the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale about the little red dancing shoes that kept on dancing until the death of the owner. The theme of the movie is the conflict between love and a career. When a young ballet dancer, Victoria Page, played by Moira Shearer, falls in love with the young and talented composer Julian Craster (Marius Goring), they provoke the wrath of the great impreserio Lermontov. The lovers are subsequently dismissed from the company. Craster is not bothered by his dismissal and continues composing. His wife, however, is unable to adjust, and finally returns to her first love and her ultimate death. The movie is notable only for its over-emotionalism and for the fifteen minutes of ballet which is expertly danced by Miss Shearer.—L.S. Nevermore" Nevermore!
