They have not. They have merely enhanced the series by the inclusion of Director Alberto Lattuada's masterpiece "Mafioso", a production which combines all of the aforementioned ingredients so skillfully that it received almost universal critical acclain when it was released a decade ago, "Mafioso" won an award as Best Picture of 1963 at the San Sebastian Film Festival. And among other accolades it won the Italian Film Critics' award for Best Screen Play. The latter group also named "Mafioso's" star Alberto Sor- di Best Actor of the year. Signer Sordi, renowned only as a comedian in Italy prior to his appearance in "Mafioso" herein combines his subtle comic talents with virtually every reaction in the emotional spectrum. He plays the role of an assembly-line efficiency expert in a Milan factory, given to tabulating and standardizing the actions of workers in the interest of scientific production managemnet, whose routine is interrupted by a long overdue vacation visit to his native Sicily. Culture shock in the grand manner await Sordi's children, and above all his wife, who is modern, liberated and blonde, on the beautiful but, but by the standards of Milano, backward island. The wife, played by Norma Bengal, struggles to understand and to gain acceptance by her husband's suspicious and superstitious family, immersed in the near-medieval Siciliano y 4:30-12:00 OPEN TIL hOOam meet driver in lobby. folkways, and the struggle makes for considerable hilarity. Does she suffer after forcing herself to down vast portions of squid, scungilli and similar regional delicacies at the family table? Then the family is taken aback, for the pasta and other serious groceries are yet to come. Does she, clad in a bikini, essay to extend a warm greeting to her husband's bachelor friends at the beach? Then her approach produces near pandemonium among these horny victims of a sexually segregated society. Miss Ben- gel finally wins acceptance by performing a blessed service, to wit, removing the moustache and excess body hair from her spinster sister-in-law's person, thus rendering her marriageable, at least until the moustache grows back. Meanwhile Alberto Sordi's sentimental enthusiasm for the homeland he has not seen for years has extended beyond mere poetic praise and the donning of the region's "beretto" . Sordi feels it incumbent upon himself to pay exaggerated homage to the local Mafia capo" whose good works in the past have in some obscure way enabled him to acheive his vaunted status in the industrial North. The aging Don, however, expects more from his citified young charge than mere fawning and grovelling. He expects daring action, the commision, in fact, of a dastardly deed in a distant and exotic land. But here the present reviewer feels compelled to haul up lest he wreck ghe suspenseful ending of this unique film. "Mafioso" is a gem. The cinematography is good, the acting splendid, the plot intriguing. In proffering so grand a flick the Film Conspiracy is making you an offer you can't or at least shouldn't refuse. Approved By Senate Guess Who Joins WCU s Activities by Chuck Kirtley Guess Who is coming to Western on Nov. 19. Last night the student senate approved an SGP contract for a personal appearance by the rock group. Stan Pendergraft, director of student government productions, brought the contract before the senate for approval. The cost of the group is $10,750. Another contract was also approved by the senate for the group, Foxfire, who will play for the Homecoming celebration. In other business the committee studying financial difficulties of the Catamount reported that due to rising printing costs and a larger number of copies needed, the Catamount cannot operate this year as it has in the past. The committee's report concluded that the yearbook would either have to cut the size and number of sections, or charge students about three dollars to make up for the deficit, to give a student a non-voting seat on the Faculty-Administration Senate was upheld. Rogers wanted the student to have voting power, but that motion was defeated. Butch Cumins, SGA comptroller, reported that the surplus funds in the SGA treasury could be used to finance the Catamount. His proposal was sent to committee for further study. Homecoming Allottment Considered The Senate met Thursday in an emergency session to vote on Homecoming appropriations. A total of $525 was requested by the Homecoming committee. This was broken down to $250 for entertainment, $125 for prizes, $30 for a bowl for the Queen, $70 for flowers for the queen and the court, and $50 for flowers for the trustees' wives. $475 was given to the committee. During the meeting it was also pointed out that the Senate had not acted on any other monetary appropriations. All SGA sponsored organizations need these funds to operate and they cannot legally function until the Senate releases the funds. Most organizations have been operating on the budget as set up last year, but many have had financial difficulty due to inflation and an increase in the number of students. Activity Cards Mandatory For Game Admission Dwight Sparks, chairman of the committee investigating SGA expenditures, reported that there had been a structural meeting to determine what the committee would do. The committee for the advancement of the university reported that its United Fund drive was progressing, although no money had been collected. A resolution was passed to set up a policy committee for the University Center Board, Its purpose would be to make recommendations to the regular U.C, staff, A resolution to amend the SGA constitution to allow student senators to take a one quarter leave to do student teaching was defeated. It was pointed out in the debate that the Senators had always taken leave without changing the constitution. Jim Davidson introduced a resolution giving stipends to SGA officials. }t was referred to the finance committee for further study. Harold Rogers' veto of a bill Helder Hall Is Haven For Hounds For the time being, Helder Residence Hall will have to remain the only shelter for the dogs of this campus. At least until someone gathers and takes them back to the pound where they will be fed until claimed. In times past, well-meaning people have felt sorry for the dogs that were in the pound - these people found it in themselves to break the locks so the dogs could' roam free in the icy air and search for food. Kind - hearted residents of Helder took pity on the dogs and let them in their lobby. At this point, conflicts arose. Other residents became offended by sharing the lobby with the flea-infested animals and started complaining. Frank Brown, Vice - Chancellor for Administration, said that a solution to this problem is a county animal shelter, which is being discussed by the County Board of Commissioners. Funds are available, if and when suitable property for the shelter can be found, he said. Until the animal shelter is built, the dogs are at the mercy of the residents of Helder Hall. Students wishing to gain admittance to future athletic contests, including this Saturday's Homecoming game against Presbyterian, are reminded by the Athletic Department that they must present this year's pink Student Activities Card, This card must also be accompanied by some other form of identification such as student ID'S, military ID'S, drivers' licenses', etc. I.D. cards may be purchased on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week from 1:00 pm. to 5:00 pm. at the University Center.
