Editorialandadvertising policy are decided upon by the Editorial Board and comments or criticisms should be made to the newspaper. Opinions expressed by the columnists do not necessarily reflect those of the newspaper. Page 2 VOL. XXXVII, No. 48 Thursday, April 17, 1972 A bit tipsy "The facts about which I am about to relate are the truth..." Who could possibly swear to that and mean it? Who could even understand it? But such is the oath that witnesses must take in the SGA Superior Court. And if quirks and redundant irks aren't enough to make students angry while in the courtroom, then the Public Defender and the Attorney General are. When the Court held its first sessions, bystanders shrugged off the slow tempo in hopes of improvements to come. Many did come. The Court is now reasonably proficient and students can be assured of more justice than they ever found in the old Hall Governments,, But the courtroom manners of the two fighters for justice lack much, True, the student facing charges should find little to complain about in Dwight Nelson's defense. He fights, he argues, he objects with more nerve than Dick Tracy and more force than Perry Mason. But if you hap pen to disagree with the stand he takes, you are likely to find his style maddening. Nelson, however, rates much more pra~ ise than censure. He is doing his job and he is doing it well. More students have been gran~ ted mistrials and dismissals for discrepancies that Nelson has uncovered than you could shake a gavel at. And there is no doubt but that he knows his Earl Stanley Gardner by heart. But the University isn't getting its Burger's worth. Attorney General David Harling does little more than present letters of referral and plead their validity. Even I know that many of Nelson's remarks and questions are "incompetent, ir~ relevant and immaterial." But Harling seems to be just as awestruck by Nelson's style as the witnesses and judges are. Perhaps this means that the students are benefiting, but old lady justice is getting tipsy from leaning too far, too often, one way. SGP "Miss Mary" Scott Miss Mary and son at dedication of Scott Residence Hall. One of North Carolina's most distinguished best loved First Ladies died Sunday night, Mrs, Kerr Scott, wife of a past governor and mother of the present governor died of pneumonia. She was a teacher, church-woman, community worker and helped mold two of the state's most popular governors. Western Carolina's largest residence hall was named after Miss Mary. She will be missed in North Carolina. The Western Carolinian Published twice weekly through the academic year and weekly duringthe summer by the students of Western Carolina University.

Tb Htti ""* CHWr*,i,f £oA |0 UooAf UJt WA /AOkX Close your eyes, Marcus If you've ever been afraid of a hospital, don't see THE HOSPITAL, or you'll never enter one again as long as you live. The flick, staring George C. Scott, is billed as a "Hilarious comedy of errors." It is a comedy of errors, but it is definitely not hilarious. Scott plays the chief of medicine in a Manhattan hospital who is in a state of depression and nearly committs suicide. He is pulled back at the last minute, though, but Diana Rigg who convinces him that he is not impotent and in one night (three ravashings) falls in love with him. The basic plot is corney. Should he leave the responsibility of his position to go with her and her sick father back to Mexico and the Apache, or should he stay and fight. And there is plenty to fight—demonstrators, incompetence, and most of all, the mysterious deaths of three hospital staff-members. The underlying message is all but corney, though. One intern is mistaken for a patient and dies in the night because of an injection of insulin. A nurse (aroud 20ish) goes to the operating table for a hysterectomy and dies of anesthetic shock. Another doctor suffers a heart attack and dies in the emergency room while he is waiting for treatment. Of course Diana's dad is helping these patients along, but it is the general incompetence of the staff that ultimately kills them. Diana is somewhat shallow, but the role she is playing doesn't help her along. Scott playes the suicidal doc- t«»~very well. But then Scott is not known for not acting well. THE HOSPITAL is a good movie for a jolt and an evening of entertainment. CINEMA By W. WAT HOPKINS It would make Marcus Welby cringe, though, and poor old David Craig would shake in his shoes. Don't go to it expecting anything hilarious. Morbid is a much better word. Yay, Liz! As far as brillance goes in acting, there are very few actresses that have ever been anywhere near brilliant. Elizabeth Taylor is one, and if it was not for her X,Y AND ZEE would not be worth the time to watch it or the 75<i it costs to get in at the Ritz. Michael Caine as her supposedly playboy husband and Susannah York as his new and supposedly lasting lover are weak, their roles are trite and the mushy spots are enough to drowned even the staunchest of bull gorillas. Liz, though, as Zee, the bitch that lives for and loves her husband, causes laughs, sympathy and even affection as the viewer roots for her to come out on top in the end. But, alas, even Liz couldn't save X, Y AND ZEE. If it's on in the neighborhood and you're trying to decide whether or not to go see it—DON T. That is, don't unless you are so big a Liz Taylor fan that you can sit through just about anything. I am.
