Klehr to Show China Films
—Contrmt News of Nixon
Tan fh/\ii con/1 ttaot*o o«*ck couHts of the news med
On this tiny globe
A few flies dash themselves
against the wall,
Humming without cease.
Sometimes shrilling.
Sometimes moaning.
Ants on the locust tree as
sume a great nation swagger
And mayflies lightly plot to top
ple the giant tree.
The west wind scatters leaves
over Changan,
And the arrows are flying,
twanging.
So many deeds cry out to be
done.
And always urgently;
The world rolls on.
Time presses.
Ten thousand years are too
long,
Seize the day, seize the hour!
The Four Seas are rising,
clouds and water raging.
The Five Continents are rock
ing, wind and thunder roaring.
Away with all pests!
Our force is Irresistible.

New Pyramid Schemes Law
Prohibits Chain Programs
A newly enacted law to pro
hibit pyramid and chain dis
tribution schemes in North
Carolina became effective
October 1, 1971. This new sta
tute makes unlawful any busi
ness program in which an in
dividual must pay for the op
portunity to participate, and
in which the participant re
ceives compensation when other
persons become participants.
The receipt of some merchan-
dist with such opportunity has
no effect on the unlawfulness of
the program. All such programs
are now punishable as lotteries,
as a part of our criminal law.
The provisions are found in
Section 14-291.2 of our General
Statues. Participants are to be
punished by the court as are
those who participate In lo-
teries.
The pyramid distribution
plans usually operate on three
or more levels of participa
tion: the retailer, the distri
butor, and the general dlstri-
^or. The distributor and gen
eral distributor generally pay
several thousand dollars for the
opportunity to participate In
the plan. They hope to make a
*»rge profit (promised by the
promoters) by persuading
others to invest In similar
participation, Aii such pro-
BTams offer financial rewards
when others are brought in at
the same level or a lower level.
Often, the opportunity to bring
others in at a high level in
duces a participant to Increase
his Investment, in order to in
crease the reward for bringing
In these participants. As with
all chain schemes, those who
enter the program late have
an ever diminishing opportu
nity to profit-or even recover
their investment.
The Attorney General does
not license businesses in North
Carolina, and therefore cannot
always state whether a com
pany's plan of operation is in
violation of the law. Some com
panies have attempted to op
erate in North Carolina with
programs that would violate th^
new law. We assume that aU
yfOi now alter their program
to comply with the law. If not,
an action may be filed by this
office or any Solicitor.
II you are considering invest
ing in any business, examine
the company and Its program
carefuUy. If the ^
fact a pyramid, participation Is
a misdemeanor, and thep^ty
tor promotion of the scheme
may be a civil penalty ^up to
$2000. Furthermore, co^acw
of participation are
and un«iforceable if entered
Into after October 1, IS"?!*
On the nights of March 9-
12 at 8:0 p.m., the Highland
Players will present William
Gibson’s The Miracle Worker.
This play, which will be seen in
the Liberal Arts Auditorium
tells of Helen KeUer’s groping
from darkness into light.
It tells the story of Teach
er Annie Sullivan’s clenched,
turbulent, finally triumphant
grappling with the child Helen
Keller — a story that, however
well known, acquires stunning
new reality and effectiveness
on the stage.
Beege Barkett will portray
Annie Sullivan who dedicates
here life to bringing meaning
to the life of young Helen Kel
ler, as portrayed by Mary lx)U
Brown, who is a wild untamed
hoiHnn of a child at the time of
the story. Peggy Harp and Wally
Hartlove will be seen in the
roles of Captain and Mrs. Kel
ler, who try to protect her
from the rigors of discipline.
Other members of the cast in
clude Steve Faust as James
KeUer, PhU Scales as the doc
tor, Cookie Young asViney,and

cernir^ the visit there of Pres
ident and Mrs. Nixon. Mrs,
Eileen Klehr, who has just re
turned from China, will give a
presentation concerning the na
ture of contemporary Chinese
society. Ms. Klehr is a mem
ber of the October League which
Is a Marxist-Leninist League
on the West Coast. During the
month of December Ms. Klehr
was one of 25 "progressive
students” visiting In China. She
spent most of her time in Can
ton and Peking and observed
factories and communes in and
around these cities.
In conjunction with her talk
Ms. Klehr will show slides
taken during her visit. Along
with her slides Ms. Klehr is
bringing a film of the Chinese
ballet “Red Detachment of Wo
men.” This ballet is a rather
lengthy one and Ms. Klehr will
be available for informal talk
during the film for those vilio
cannot remain to talk with her
afterwards. This ballet is a
fine example of China’s ef
fort to “ . . . change the China -
