wish to extend their sympathy to

Boycott “Life With Father”
■ “Minimum admission prices as
required by the producers of this
picture: matinee, 90c; night,
$1.25.”
Once more the public is being put
upon and robbed by producers, in
this case Warner Bros., and as usual
the local exhibitors or theatres are
being forced to carry out the actual
extortion work. Wo excuse or ex
planation is given the public for the
necessity of thus increasing the pres
ent war-time admission prices 150%
and thus adding greatly to the al
ready dangerous inflationary spiral
of prices. It had been suggested
that producers have observed cyni
cally that they had better “get
theirs” while the public still has
some extra moneys which can ho ex
torted. However true this may be,
it is still in the rumor stage.
What we are concerned about is
the tendency the producers have de
veloped of bleeding the public un
mercifully simply because a good
movie has been produced, though it
isn’t always a good one. Duel in, the
Sun was damned by critics and the
public alike until the producers were
forced to lure the public into thea
tres by frankly boasting of the pic
ture’s sleazy barnyard morals. When
Gone With the Wind was shown for
the first time, the producers cried
maudlin tears about terrific expenses
(not just inefficient waste of money),
and doubled their prices. As the
public now well knows, the produc
ers have made enough money on that
picture to finance two more like it
and still have a tidy profit. Since
then several double and trijile-admis-
sion pictures have been thrust down
the raw throat of a long suffering
public that has for several years
complained (merely) of the low
quality of movies in general.
The public is going to rebel some
time, and the JtELLES thinks
that now is a good time to start.
Therefore the BELLES advises and
exhorts the 300 members of its stu
dent body and the 45 faculty and
staff members to boycott Life With
Father which is now being shown at
a local theatre at exorbitant admis

Last Sunday morning—wasn’t
it a beautiful one?—we walked
out on our campus to enjoy it
frankly. The turning leaves lent
a soft glow everywhere as we
sauntered down to our new and
splendid entranceway for to ad
mire. But when we arrived there,
we couldn’t admire because crude
ly splashed down one of the brick
posts in blue paint for all Baleigh
to see and not admire were some
silly ivords. Frankly, ive were
angry that anyone ivho was famil
iar with our school and campus
should treat us so. But our anger
was turned into seething resent
ment as we Avent up the brick
Avmlk onto the plaza and saAv huge,
crude letters in blue paint splash-
ml across the brick Avails support
ing the porch. Also letters in blue
paint across the freshly painted
doors to the Day Students’ Boom.
Also letters in blue paint spraAvled
across the top of the cement stairs
leading to the porch.
We knoAv that college “boys”
perpetrate these outrages on the
buddings of their athletic oppon
ents and that they expect the
favor to be returned, vandalous
as those acts are. But Ave don’t
understand Avhy friends and ac
quaintances AAunt to do such
things to our campus and build
ings. If this is AAdiat Ave have to
expect from some of the students
at neighboring men’s colleges,
then matters liav'e reached a iieAv
low.

Dear Editor,
It Avould be a great improA’c-
nient at Saint klary’s if the page
on duty Avere required to obtani
the name of the person calling.

}Ve suggest that the page ob
tain the person’s name, and if the
girl is not in, leaA'e a Avritten note
of the call, stating name of the
caller and message, if there is one.
Small Avhite 'cards should be
placed in the parlor for this pur
pose.
AVe Avonld also like to haA'e a
pad by the phone on every hall
for plione messages.
Hopefully,
