Well, here’s a few short descriptions. “And Justice For All”-rates highly on a scale of one to ten. This movie hits the eight range because there’s never a boring moment. If that’s the way our judicial system works, let’s hope we never get into trouble with the law. “Alien”-It’s been out for a while. And if you haven’t seen it yet you’ll like it if you like to be frightened. You’ll love it if you like glimmy gooky things. “Apocalypse Now”-Pretty good photography, but it’s just another boring war movie. It does however, have some pretty deep questions raised and a bazaar plot. “Ten”-It’s a nice movie to go to if you don’t mind your boy friend or husband drulling through the entire film. The ‘10’ is a beauty,38-22-36 to be exact. It’s a good movie, highly recom mended onlv if von haven’t ant a jealous bone in your body. “1941”-There’s not a whole lot of the Saturday Night Live men, John Belushi in the movie, but if one or two good laughs are worth the entrance fee, then go. There’s a black man in the movie who seems out of place at first, but later on he has one of the funniest lines in the movie. + + + + If you indulge in self-pity, the only sympathy you can expect is from the same source. - Bill Copeland of Sarasota, Fla.

(photo by Eileen Hanson) lughts Groups Galling For Return To Greensboro oy c-iietn nanson Special To The Post Twenty years after the Greensboro sit-ins, religi ous and civil rights groups are calling for a return to Greensboro to launch a “new national offensive” against racism and react ion. A national march to be held Feb. 2, 1980 in Greens boro will commemorate the 20th anniversary of the lunch-counter sit-ins which began in Greensboro in Feb., 1960. The march will also protest the murders of 5 anti-Klan demonstrators there last Nov. 3, and call for unity against the new wave of Klan and Nazi terror. “The Klan is an open sore...of the inward cancer of racism, colonialism and political exploitation in the body politic,” said Dr. Jo seph Lowery, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Speaking at a national meeting in Atlanta Dec. 14-15 to plan anti-Klan stra tegies, Lowery called for a new movement, a new of fensive for equality. "Any system that denies God's children equality needs to be destroyed,” said Lowery. _ l _! _ * The Atlanta conference was called by SCLC and the Inter-Religious Foundation for Community Organiza tions (IFCO) to formulate new strategies against the rise of the Ku Klux Klan. “We see the Klan coming back all over the country. They are threatening minorities, labor unions and all progressive forces," said C. T. Vivian, conference chairman and a member of SCLC. “If it was communists a few weeks ago, it will be blacks next week and then another group.” The call for the Greens boro march issued by the conference says that the shots that killed 5 anti-Klan demonstrators in Greens boro Nov. 3 "were aimed at all blacks, working people regardless of class and color, and all who desire justice in America." According to the call, these murders were en couraged by the Bakke and Weber cases against “re verse discrimination,” legislation like Proposition 13, new attempts at union busting, inflation and high unemployment. The call blamed the powerful and wealthy for trying to create scapegoats, “to turn our frustration towards every thing but the real source of our problems .” An Interfaith Service called by~ Greensboro ministers was rescheduled for Dec. 2, attended by some 600 people. Speaking on the history of the Klan, Ann Braden of the Southern Organizing Committee, said, “The Klan grows during periods of economic and social tur moil.” She pointed to the post-Reconstruction and post-World War I periods, and the 1960’s as times of increased Klan activity. “The Klan presents itself as a stabilizing force in periods of uncertainty,” said Braden. "Today our economy is again in trouble. Society is falling apart. The power structure must devise means to keep people under control.” Braden commented that putting minority groups up as scapegoats “lays the base for mass fascist movement.” “The best way to stop the Klan is to form a strong movement of black and white for economic jus tice," she said. _ Deaths & Funerals SAMUEL GIVENS Samuel Givens, 61, of 1523 Wilmore Dr., died Thursday, Dec. 13, and his funeral was held Thursday, Dec. 20 at Griers Funeral Home Chapel.
