Sunday, September 26, 1965 THE DAILY TAR HEEL I Daily Tar Heel Review ories Of Persecution Plague The 'Pawnbroker' Mem Bored? - Here's Where The Action Is Today By PETER RANGE DTH Reviewer Combining social commen tary and great art is a trick at which few film directors succeed. Most artistically great movies can at best make some comments on the problems of an individual in a particular setting under spe cific circumstances. Truffaut and Godard do this par ex cellence; their attemots her dying father. The woman is the widow of a good friend he saw dragged to his death by the dogs in the concentra tion camp. Their relationship is much like that of a middle aged marriage; punctuated al ternately by passion and card games, underlain with grudg ing criticism. He seems from the begin ning a beaten and hardened man, this former professor at to 11, i w v piuiLui cat, speaic to a social problem, the University of Leipzig He as in Truffaut's Soft Skin." failed in the hands of a director es sentially oriented towards in dividual human beings and unique situations. Sidney Lumer has executed a powerfully successful wed ding of beautiful cinematics and social documentary in "The Pawnbroker." His story concentrates ostensibly more on a single individual than do French New Wave movies, but the breadth of his social crit icism reaches much further in to history and more deeply in to the present than do the art works of most great directors today. The Pawnbroker is Sol Naz erman, a German Jew who lost his beautiful wife and two children in Nazi concentration camps. Nazerman survived the camps ("I lost all I loved, but I did not die.") and immi grated to New York. His pawn shop at Park Avenue and 116th St. takes in the tawdry wares of grostesque and des perate human beings in the teeming, festering core of Spanish Harlem, Manhattan's biggest Puerto Rican Ghetto. Nazerman supports his sis ter - in - law and her family along with his mistress and ...v. IV t r r .t llllllUIMJ J FOR SALE: 1959 CHEVRO- let 2-Door Biscayne. 6 cyl. gray and white. Radio and beater.

Serrke, Prt TRAVEL ON MOTORCYCLE has isolated himself from feel ing and compassion, from the people who come to him in poverty or intense loneliness, even from those with whom he lives at home. He has mas tered his cruel fate and thus mastered the present. He nei ther needs nor wants sympa thy and fights off the warm understanding of Marilyn Birchfield, a middle - aged widow who tries to offer sym pathy and friendship. Indeed the most powerful theme of the film may be that of loneliness ("They were taken from me and I could not do a thing to help them.") Man cannot reach outside himself; the ex tended hand falls back again, empty. But the twenty-fifth anni versary of the loss of his fam ily produces a flood of horrify ing memories and scenes in Nazerman's otherwise closed mind. In a series of slow-motion visits to the past or al most subliminal cut-ins of a few frames at a time, we see the Nazermans picnicking when the Nazis arrived, the death of Reuben in the camp, the prostitution of Nazerman's wife by Nazi officers, and the trampling underfoot of his son in a cattlecar packed tight with Jewish prisoners. The comparison drawn be tween the Nazi horror and the exploiters of the poor and prostituted in New York to day strikes an alarmingly true ring. Rodriques is the pitch black robber-baron Negro with the all-white apartment and platinum-blond white lover boy from him Nazerman re ceives his money until h awakens to the tact that Koa riquex owns the maimed bod ies and souls of the crawling "scum" of the ghetto, a fact which his isolation and un touchability over the years hid from him. Jesus Ortiz is a borderline criminal, a Puerto Rican Ne gro, who works in the pawn shop. He becomes the final victim of Nazerman's inner inhumanity and isolation when he is killed by fellow-robbers while trying to save his boss, the old Jew. When Ortiz dies in front of the store, Nazer man's guilt drives him to skewer his own hand on the pawn ticket spindle on his desk in one of the several almost strictly "facial scenes" per formed superbly by Rod Stei ger. The futility of the Christ like martyrdom bores through sickeningly; it seems as heavy-handed and melodra matic in the movie as in the Nazerman role. Practically every scene was shot on location on Park Ave nue where the elevated roars by every three minutes. The characters and places are in comparably real and true-to-life. A multiplicity of themes is skillfully interwoven: man's obligation to involve himself in other human beings emo tionally and concern himself with the ills of his society; man's essential aloneness and isolation from other men; the plight of the ageless, wander ing Jew with never a place to rest or stay who can find meaning only in making mon ey; and the atrocities of big city slumlords and extortion ists, no less heinous than those of the German executioners twenty-five years ago.

The Angel Flight of Air Force ROTC is sponsoring a tea for all interested UNC coeds Thursday, Sept. 30, from 6-8 p.m. in the cadet lounge. Everyone is invited. Air Force Photo There were cries of exulta tion and tears of sorrow in the girls dorms Friday night. Formal sorority rush was over and the bids had been re ceived. The long round of par ties had ended, and the girls were tired. In 1923, the first sororities were established on the UNC campus. Rush has been a part of the campus since. In 1962, rush became deferred, and freshmen could no longer take part. This year's formal rush con sisted of rounds of parties di vided into a gradual preview of all the sororities. The first two nights, all the rushees vis ited every house. Invitations were extended to the selected rushees from each house for a second round of parties. Each girl was allowed to choose six sororities. In the third round of parties the num ber of houses to visit was lim ited to four. For the final round of parties, the rushees were limited to three houses. Immediately after these par ties, they went to Gerrard Hall to fill out preference cards. Great Day Friday was the great day of decision. The Dean of Wom en's office matched rushees bids to the sororities prefer ence. Sorority members were informed of the results in the afternoon. The rushees re ceived their bids that night. As soon as the bids were re ceived the new pledges went to their houses to be received.
