Some students feel that this fact plus increased student interest in mitters concerning the students led to a good turn-out of voters. A “/n The Year Of The Pig “Emile do Antonio’s documentary ‘In the Year of the Pig’ has done something it’s getting harder and harder to do-it has made the Vietnamese war real.” Thus Jim Frosch of THE HARVARD CRIMSON aptly describes this unveiling of the story of the wars of Viet Nam since the 1930’s. The title of the film in no way refers to federal or local police. It is of a Confucian context and serves to show what the governments are actually doing in the year of the Pig, the Snake, and the Rat. Nominated for an Academy Award in 1969, the film is a Contemporary Films Release produced and directed by Emile de Antonio. The show ing at 8:00 p.m. on November 15, in the College Auditorium total of 487 votes were cast out of the some 777 students, who are enrolled here. This is an increase over voting in former years. was limited for admission to Louisburg College students, faculty, and staff due to the film rental rates. “In the Year of the Pig” is the largest accumulation of film on Viet Nam and includes a cast of senators, presidents, fighting men, military officers, journalists, and others. Preceeding the film was the Academy Award winning “Interviews with My Lai Veterans.” Directed by Joseph Strick, this shocking film is based on the accounts of five ex-soldiers involved in the massacre. Students Injured In Wreck Two Louisburg College students were seriously injured in a wreck that occurred around midnight on October 20.

Moore suffered facial cuts and a broken pelvis, and Coombs suffered a broken arm, broken elbow, broken collar bone, and three broken ribs. The car was a total loss.
