  • Vvesto^i CLardLiMiam VOL. XXXIX No. 19 Tuesday October 30,1973 YOII'E OF THE STI IH\TS Western Carolina University Cullowhee, North Carolina A Review Hitchcock's 'Spellbound' Presented by Bill Head What the cinematic artist wishes to achieve is the "willing suspension of disbelief" in his audience, and, over the years, no one else has been more successful at doing just that than has Alfred Hitchcock. Part of the fun in watching this virtuoso perform involves his ability to tight-rope between the plausible and the absurd; it is this quality in his work that gives it, for this reviewer at least, a measure of suspense beyond that of the pellbinging in "Spellbound," which is a narrow escape from absurdity, Indeed. This is not to say that the movie doesn't contain some excellent things. There is a fine score by Miklos Rozsa and good acting by Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck. And, in 1947, Hitchcock looked daring when he brought his "psychological" thriller to the screen. Also, working within some rather severe restrictions set by his subject matter itself, Hitchcock does manage several authentically suspenseful scores- the scene in which Peck "menaces" Bergman's old analyst with a razor; the confrontation scene between Bergman and the true murderer; a small scene in a hotel lobby when Berg- man is annoyed by a drunk. Less successful, but still effective, is the scene in which doors symbolically open for the new lovers Bergman and Peck. These minor triumphs help to avert a major disaster. The near disaster in this picture is some rather muddled and muddy amateur psychiatric blather. ' 'Spellbound has a valid conflict - that between the head and the heart - but the tension between the two is vitiated by pseudo-freudian analysis that would tend to suggest that any untrained middle-class movie-goer is capable of grasping valid psychiatric methods and procedure. Hitchcock is self-conscious about this, for he presents an introductory explanation of psychiatric "facts," credits a psychiatrist as advisor to the movie, and recruits Salvador Dali to do the heavy-handed, symbolic dream sequence in the film's climatic scene. Now and again, Hitchcock interrupts his pseudo- Freudianism long enough to get back to his true dramatic situation, where Bergman's heart or mind will dominate her in her affair with Perk. Given the psychologisms her mind is psychologismi her mind is prone to, the issus is hardly indoubt; one can side with Peck in saying several of her analyses are ridiculous at best; but what is even more disturbing about this movie is that her final and correct analysis is as predictably mindless as her others. The stranded head- shrinkers labor mightily in this movie and produce something mighty like a beached whale. Still, conditioning to Hitchcock's methods helps to explain why "Spellbound" suc- CONTINUED Page 4. . . . The American Chamber Ballet will perform here Thursday night in Hoey Auditorium. Students may obtain admission tickets at the UC Information Desk. Ballet Performs The American Chamber Ballet will perform Nov. 1 at 8:15 pm in Hoey Auditorium at West~ ern Carolina University. The program will consist of a mixture of classical works and contemporary dances. The 15-member troupe is directed by Joel Benjamin, who has studied ballet in New York, Paris and London.

WCU Observes 'Parent's Day' Students relaxed Saturday and let their mothers and fathers worry about getting to class on time during "Parents's Day" at Western Carolina University. The parents spent the day in much the same way their children will during their four years at Western. They enrolled for study during a simulated registration period, listened to lectures and were eventually promoted from freshmen and sophomores to juniors and seniors. At the end of the program, Dr. W. Hugh McEniry, acting chancellor of WCU, conferred degrees from "Parents University." To gain insight into student experiences, the parents toured the campus and visited residence halls, art exhibitions, cafeterias and religious centers. The day's speakers included Dr. Hal Salisbury, director of the counseling and testing center at WCU; and students Walter Gibbs and Marian Bistline8 participants in a university archaeology dig near Hayesville last summer. The The advantages of both on and off-campus housing were outlined by students Steve Cra- ver and Patty Prather, Students Bob Armfield and Carol Vaughn, and Barbara Mann, dean of student development, explained student activities and campus life styles. Harold Rogers, student body president discussed the role of student government at Western Carolina. Rogers Answers Senate Charges In a much too lengthy speech Harold Rogers, SGA President addressed the Student Senate last night, He was there to answer the informal charges broughtagainsthimandhisadministration that during the summer he and Vice-President Townsend allegedly misused SGA funds. Rogers noted that the Student Senate had given Townsend permission to "act on behalf of the Senate" during the summer when it did not meet. He based his arguments on this resolution and on the practical considerations that surrounded the actual use of the funds. Rogers pointed out that while Vice-President Townsend was not a student during the summer he did keep office hours and therefore deserved his $250 The program is sponsored by the WCU Lectures, Concerts, and Exhibitions Committee. Admission is free to WCU students and LCE subscription series members, but because of limited seating special admission tickets must be obtained in advance.

Womanless Beauty Pageant Benefits Needy The fifth annual Miss Thanksgiving "Womanless' pageant will be held Nov. 7. Sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega National Service Fraternity, it is a charity event. Admissitm to the pageant will be non-perishible goods, canned foods, toys clothing, or money, all of wWch arj going to needy families in Jackson County. The illustrious pageant will feature those virile men of WCU who dare to indulge in the flamboyancy of a women's beauty pageant.

All groups and organizations are eligible to participate. So- rotities can sponsor any WCU male.

Last year, the pagent was a tremendous success with 100 individuals in Jackson County receiving aid. This year's hopes to be an even better pageant and with greater benefits. stipend. He said that the stipends given to the appointed officials were legal in his opinion since Townsend was given the authority to approve such expenditures, by the resolution cite \ before. Rogers defended his use of Refrigerator Trust Fund money to buy Black Oak Arkansas pizza and cokes by pointing out that it was the only money available at the time. He said that Black Oak was readytopa- ck up and leave and he had to do everything in his power to keep them happy so the show could go on. He went on to point out that the money had since been transferred back to the Refrigerator Fund from Student Government Productions. The reimbursments made to Rogers and two others for their fact-finding trip to Macon Georgia in connection with the." Carlton investigation was also explained by Rogers. He said that to his knowledge his assistants were both students at the time, and much useful information was uncovered and subsequently used in the successful campaign to unseat the Chancellor. The defense offered by Rogers concerning the use of unapproved SGA funds for stipends this year was that the Senate had been slow to act tMi approving the funds and appointments so they were given out witlwut approval based on last year's budget. Rogers said that this was done since some of the students were in financial need, and because he had been informed incorrectly about the approval of the other stipends. After some questions from the floor, it was ruled that the ad hoc committeee appointed last week should investigate the question more fully. Rogers said that he and all SGA records at his command would be at the committee's disposal. In other business the two newly elected Senators from Leatherwood Hall were sworn into office. The original election had been disputed and a new one held last Tuesday. The Committee for the Advancement of the University reported that the Cullowhee United Fund Drive was progressing well. A plaque will be awarded to the club or organization which makes the largest contribution. The Rules Committee recommended that Donald Ramsey and David Fowler be approved CONTINUED Page 3. . . .
