Potpourri...togetherness is double fun... the bell tower has been
adopted as "mascot" of the Rod Squad... anatomy lab this week
cancelled until they turn the heat on...
Goulash Grabber... negotiations have been completed between I CPU
(International Chicken Pluckers Union) and SAGA on the final resting
place of the sick chicken that died Friday night. ICPU wanted a bronze
plaque erected over the kitchen door and SAGA wanted to make
chicken-burgers with tomato sauce; apparently, SAGA won...
Ad-For-Real-Department... "Be a HIT in your "OFFICIAL
NATIONAL GUARD TARGET" t-shirt! Strategic colors: lily-white,
slightly yellow, guerrilla gray. $2.20. FLAK shirts. Box 1641,
Lexington, Kentucky 40501." -THE BIRD (Sept. 28, '70)
Feminist Oops! Division... proving they're human, a copy boy
deveioped the following head for a Chicago Sun-Times story; "Women's
Liberation Really Is Broad-Based."...
Editorial Slice-of-Life... deleted from an aspiring sports' writer's
copy: "...at the intramural game last week, the field was lined with
several scores of athletic supporters." There were some people at the
game, too...
STORIES we couldn't print... "Colvard Hangs Self" (news tid-bit on
the re-arrangement of pictures in officeland) .... "Iced Cone Thaws"
(Vice-Chancellor after watermellon feast)... "Witherspoon Forked" (an
accidental seating item; human-interest stuff).... "Ellis Runs Night-Time
Enterprise" (english prof made head of evening classes)....
Poetic Interlude.... A man of an inquiring mind... quite easily
computes... statistics of the girls who wear... bikini bathing suits... so
candid are these little things... that one may well protect... but
somehow I've a feeling that... some attributes resent... the pressing
limitations of... such tight imprisonment... they seem to strain
impatiently... to force a haltered thrust... and make a clean breast of it
all... or in the effort bust... in view of this I must conclude... bikini's
lack the touch... they're either leaving something off... or brinqinq forth
too much....
Distractions.... a good date is when you go to the drive-in and neither
of you need the heater on... I always thought a piece de resistance was a
girl that wouldn't cooperate... the last thing that gets started in a
parked car is the engine.... passion marks are personal autographs that
remind you what day yesterday was....
On Reunions... beautiful things for Thursdays....
Futuristic Fantasies.... UNCC, 2070.... the parking problem at UNCC
ended today when an Erector Crane placed a yellow Volkswagon
diagonally between Broadrick Boulevard and the curb, thus completing
a jig-saw puzzle begun back in ole 1970. Commented a spokesman for
the University: "How's that for planning?" .... Washington, 1070....
Discounting a rumor that J. Edgar Hoover had died, the FBI today
released an unretouched photo of the "grand old man" riding a golden
chariot into the sun....
To See Or Not To See.... ask a blind man if black or yellow or red or
brown or white is beautiful... sometimes you wish we all were blind....
Cornin' Down.... to one alone: we exist in a material world while
ignoring the materials.... sex is a commie plot but who cares?.... a gold
digger craves precious little.... and then there was the Southern belle
everyone knew had a clapper but rang anyway... chivalry isn't dead, but
it's been castrated lately.... old flames burn out many a new spark.... to
alter a saying, maybe we came in with a whimper, but I hope we go out
with a bang.... je t'aime

STARTS FRIDAY
m
You can see some cinema masterpieces
by mike mcculley
Under the auspices of the
Student Activities Board, the
UNCC Films Committee, dubbed
“Cinema ’70,” has planned a
double-barrelled program for the
’70-’71 year.
There is a distinct emphasis on
cinema as art throughout the
program. Working from an
enlarged allocation, the small
group decided to offer two
programs: a foreign/classic festival
on Wednesdays and a popular
series on Fridays.
Although they may be subject
to change, the Wednesday
slrowings are scheduled twice, at
3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., in C
building room 220, so that the
broadest number of University
members can attend. Friday’s
flicks are scheduled throughout
tlie year at 9 p.m., also in Room
C-220.
Plans are being made for use of
one of the auditoriums in tlie new
Fine Arts Building as a regular
“theater” for all campus movies.
Hopefully, the Committee wants
to bring an “underground” series
distributed by Universal Kinetic
Art to UNCC in the spring, funds
permitting.
The foreign festival brings to
campus some of the world’s most
nighly acclaimed motion pictures.
Following is a short scenario on
the festical: (not in order to be
shown)
THE BICYCLE
THIEF-Vittorio de Sica’s somber
little study of a man who depends
upon his bicycle for his livelihood
and must become a thief when his
is stolen. Best Foreign Film of
1949-New York Film Critics.
THE MALTESE
FALCON-Bogie’s definitive
tough-guy role as detective Sam
Spade; with Peter Lorre doing his
creepy villain bit, and Mary Aston
as the girl Spade loves but sends
to prison anyway; and Sidney
Greenstreet as The Fat Man. One
of Bogart’s best, and a detective
classic.
MOTHER-a Russian film about
a family in the changing Russia of
1905. “Without hesitation, I place
it amongst the finest works in the
history of the cinema.’’--Paul
Rotha, THE FILM TILL NOW.
CABINET OF DR.
CALIGARI-the first and possibly
the finest horror film ever made;
CALIGARI explores the workings
of a madhouse and a mad mind.
VIRGIN SPRING-lngmar
Bergman’s study of a father s
revenge for the violation and
murder of his daughter. The rape
scene is one of the most graphic
ever put on film. With Max Von
Sydow. “One of the year’s 10
best”-NY Times.
RULES OF THE GAME-some
critics consider this the finest film
ever made. It is certainly Jean
Renoir’s masterpiece among
masterpieces-an indictment of the
destructive arbitrary “rules” of
“society.” “Jean Renoir’s greatest
work...”-London Observer.
THE GOLD RUSH-Charlie
Chaplin looks for both gold and
romance in the Klondike. One of
his most sur-really funny yet most
touching films.
FORBIDDEN GAMES~a study
of how war gives children a
matter-of-fact view of death. A
moving film, one of the best
anti-war tracts made in any
medium. “Masterful...heart-
b r e a k i n g ’ ’ - - N Y Times;
“Brilhant...devastating”-LIFE.
TORMENT-Ingmar Bergman’s
first scenario is the story of a
cruel teacher and his effect on a
student when they both love the
same girl. “One of the
best.”-TIME
THE SHOP ON MAIN
STREET-One of the finest of the
Czech films of the New Wave
(before Dubcek’s fall). It tells of
the friendship that grows between
a simple carpenter appointed
“aryan controller” of a shop by
the Nazis and the headstrong old
Jewish woman who runs the shop,
and of the man’s conflict when
the Nazis decide to deport all
Jews from Prague. Oscar for Best
Foreign Film-1965. “You cannot
afford to miss this brilliant and
extraordinary film.”-Judith Crist.
8 54- -Fellini’s great
autobiographical film of a director
trying to break with the stifling
pressures of his life to make a
film. Some mice fantasy
sequences, especially the one in a
brothel. “854 certainly ranks
among the most brilliant cinema
works of our time.’’--Judith Crist.
THE SEVEN SAMURI (THE
MAGNIFICENT SEVEN)-
Director Akira Kurosawa’s film
created his reputation; it is a
raging, sensuous epic...a pattern of
smashing import. The story is
concerned with the defense of a
sixteenth century village by seven
men. Known as THE Japanese
film masterpiece.
THE EXTERMINATING
ANGEL-Bunuel’s strange and
terrifying film of guests who find
themselves unable to leave a
dinner party in spite of their
imminent destruction. Antonioni
by way of Satre. “Brilliant...
macabre...”-TIME
THE THREE-PENNY
OPERA-Bertolt Brecht’s and
Kurt Weil’s musical about the
thieves of Berlin during Nazi
occupation. Such songs as “Mack
the Knife” and “Pirate Jenny.”
With Lotte Lenya.
THE GOLF SPECIALIST-W.C.
Fields. What else is there to say?
M~Fritz Lang’s classic about a
child molester and murderer
(Peter Lorre) who is hunted down
by his own underworld colleagues.
Though made in 1931, the film
hasn’t dated at all. “...visual
excitement, pace,
brilliance...”-Pauline Kail, THE
NEW YORKER.
Quite a cinematic feast and
potpourri. Watch the posters and
the JOURNAL’S FLICK FACTS
box for dates and times of these
greats. You’ve gotta see these
movies, people, to believe ’em.
Education? This is a part of it.

series.
