Meanne D'Arc
French Classic
Monday Evening
The great French classic "La
Passion de Jeanne d'Arc" will
be presented by the UNC
Chapel Hill Film Society Mon
day night in Carroll Hall at 8
p.m.
Directed by Carl Dreyer, the
memorable film drama was
filmed in the French country
side in 1927, just as sound was
emerging in Warner Brothers'
studios.
In the role of Joan of Arc is
Falconetti, who never acted in
films after this first perform
ance. Critics have said that
Joan of Arc lived in the su
perb acting of Falconetti.
Long Trial
Joan's long trial of one and a
half years is contracted to one
day, her last on earth. Dreyer
had purchased a novel by Jo
seph Delteil as a basis but used
little of it in the movie.
Conducted in the brutal man
ned of a third degree investiga
tion, the process of the trial has
been described as having its
twentietn-century parallels in
being essentially an ideological
trial in which Joan, for reasons
of State, must be led to con
demn herself for the sake of
power politics.
Joan is the victim of an earth
ly authority which cannot allow
itself to be put to the question
by a future saint whose inte
grity of vision is never deluged
by its complex diplomacy.
French Maid
The French maid is called be
fore the ecclesiastical court set
in the prisbn at Rouen, exam
ined to later in her cell when
she is presented with a forged
letter seemingly to come from
the King of France urging her
to recant. "
The picture ends -with the
violent measures used by the
English soldiers to quail the
riots which break out around
Joan's pyre.
Monday. night after the 180
members of the society and a
guest each are accommodated,
there will be some 75-100 seats
available to those who would
like to attend

Soviets End Airlift Into Laos
VIENTIANE, Laos Western military sources said Satur
day the Soviet Union apparently had ended its airlift of
troops and supplies to Communist forces in Laos. Interna
tional pressure increased for a' negotiated settlement.
However, lcng lines of trucks were seen winding over
the mountains from Communist North Viet Nam toward the
Plain of Jars in central Laos, indicating help from that neigh

JFK Gets Housing, Poverty Report
WASHINGTON - President-elect John F. Kennedy re

Free Nations Asked To Back Laos
WASHINGTON The United States Saturday called
upon other free nations to help the wartorn kingdom of Laos
"through whatever means seem most promising."
In a "white paper" on Laos, which a spokesman said
was designed to 'set. the record straight" on the U.S. position,
the State Department said "Laos can remain independent
only if the non-Communist nations of the world render the
assistance it has requested to maintain its independence."

the alleged arms drops.
A government spokesman in

a rebel uprising was to be syn

sion attempt."
Communique Issued
A press communique issued
by the Castro government said
the war material dropped in
cluded mortars, automatic wea
pons, and ammunition and that
all of it was captured by the
militia.
One arms drop was reported
to have taken place in the Con
dado zone of Las Villas Prov
ince in central Cuba some 180
miles east of Havana.
Another was located at Bahia
Honda, on the north coast some
50 miles west of Havana.
The announcement did not
say tne arms came irom tne
United States. Photographs in
Cuban newspapers showed the
arms to be contained in boxes
manufactured in the United
States.

The charge that arms had
been parachuted bolstered be
lief that the Castro regime
planned to keep the island on a
war footing at least until the
expiration of President Eisen

At the same time, there were
strong indications Castro was
looking to President-elect John

By Jim Clotfelter
President William Friday -of
the Consolidated University
told the Daily Tar Heel yester
day that he believes the Gen
eral Assembly "will do every
thing possible to provide addi
tional resources to increase
faculty salaries."
Friday expressed confidence
that the assembly would "do
all they possibly can" to give
the C.U. the additional books
and equipment to accommo
date the increasing student en
rollment.
He also said that the people
of North Carolina "are genuine
ly interested" in improving the
quality of university education
and that Governor Terry -San-ford
will fulfill his campaigri
and inaugural promises to raise
that quality.
Sanf ord Says
In his inaugural address
Thursday Gov. Sanford said, "If
it fakes more taxes (to raise
university educational stand
ards) . . . we must face that
fact and provide the money."
President Friday added, "The
governor has made it clear that
his program includes all levels
of public education.",

Picketing of the Carolina
Theatre by both whites and Ne-
groes moved into its . second day
without . violence yesterday as
both factions of the integration
battle refused to relent.
The shift system of picketing
employed by the integration-
ists was altered from four pick
ets on one-hour duty, to tne
same number on half-hour
shifts as participants increased
to 54.
Picket leaders last' night de
cided to picket every "major
movie appearing at tne inea
tre iri the next few weeks, or
until the management concedes
integrate. Original plans
t
called for pickets only until the
movie ended its run last night.
Several Carolina students and
faculty members have been in
volved in the picketing which
grew out of Manager Carrington
Smith's refusal to admit Ne
groes to an integrated showing
of "Porgy and Bess," offering,
instead, a segregated special
showing last night. The Negroes
refused, contending that this did
not offer them "true., equality."
Smith reportedly felt that an
integrated showing would harm
the theatre's business and of
fered the segregated showing as
a compromise.
He was "originally approached
by a spokesman for the Chapel
Hill-Carrboro Ministerial Asso
ciation on behalf of the Negro
request. When Smith refused,
the association drafted a letter
for release to the press stating
they would "be compelled to
withdraw (their) patronage"
until the theatre ceased to "dis
criminate." The letter signed by eleven
ministers, three colored-did
not advocate or endorse boycott
or picketing, but expressed the
personal opinions of the signa
tories, a spokesman for the
ministers said.
The ministers said at Satur
day's meeting, that they did not
plan to speak specifically to
their congregations Sunday re
garding the protest.
In reply to a question as to
the chances of increased tuition
costs for in-state students, the
president emphatically an
swered, "I certainly hope not.'

UNC students "should give
full support to efforts by the
Negrd community to gain en
trance to the Chapel Hill thea
tres," said a National Student
Association spokesman yester
day. "" Hank ' Patterson, vice-president
of the Carolinas-Virginia
Region of the NSA and a mem
ber of the Student Government
presidential cabinet, stated that
"there is complete justification
for action . . . in. the form of
pickets and boycotts. The facul
ty members and students in the
picket line deserve the greatest
amount of admiration."
Picket Action
In discussing the picket ac
tion against the Carolina Thea
tre's "outmoded policy of segre
gation," Patterson referred to
the resolution passed last Feb
ruary by the Student Legisla
ture. .
The legislature went "on rec
ord as favoring the proposal
that the theatres ... of Chapel
Hill serve all students in the
University, without discrimina
tion." At that time the YM-YWCA
Human Relations Committee
conducted a "representative
study" of twelve hundred stu
dents on campus, asking them
if they favored equal service for
But tuition for out-of-state stu
dents will definitely be increas
ed by $100 per year.
Tomorrow morning in Gov.
Sanford's office the Executive
and Visiting Committees of the
C.U. Board of Trustees will hold
itheir regular January meeting.
It will be the first official meet
ing with the Board for the new
governor, who is also the chair
man of the Board.
To Make Public
The Budget Commission will
make public its recommenda
tions to the General Assembly
on February 8. The State Board
of Hicher Education, which
made its controversial recom
mendations last November, has
no power to act further.
President Friday, UNC Chan
cellor William Aycock, and
other C.U. and individual uni
versity officials will present the
C.U.'s case to the full Board of
Trustees on February 27. Ac
cording to Friday, it will be
"our position in reference to
the Commission's recommenda
tions."
Then the General Assembly
will actually decide what
amount of money is to be ap
propriated.

Votes To
Chapel Hill, N. C.
January 5, 1961
To the Editor:
We are writing to express
our concern over a situation
which exists in Chapel Hill and
which, in ouropinion, does not
need to exist in such a com
munity as this.
This matter was brought to
our attention when several
members of the Negro com
munity sought the good offices
of the Ministers' Association to
gain permission for them to at
tend the showing of "Porgy and
Bess" at the Carolina Theater.
As matters now stand, Negroes
are not permitted to attend our
local theaters.
After being discussed by the
association, this request was
forwarded on Wednesday after
noon by a local minister to the
manager of the Carolina Thea
ter. The Association's suggestion
was that the Friday night show
ing be opened to the entire
community. This suggestion
was refused, for reasons that
seemed valid to the manager;
among them that several regular
white patrons have threatened
to withdraw patronage if the
theater is integrated, even for
a special occasion.
As you know, this particular
movie is based on the famous
story of Dubose Heyward. It is
about Negroes and has an all
Negro cast. Having the open
showing on Friday night, as

Educated at the Oberlin Con

would have given our Negro
citizens an opportunity to see a
movie which has a special in
terest for them. Further, it
would have provided white
members of the community, who
feel that the present arrange
ment is both unfair and unde
sirable, a chance to demonstrate
their willingness to support a
theater that would open its
doors to the entire community.
We, the undersigned, who are
pastors of local churches, sin
cerely regret that such an op
portunity was not provided. We
believe that most citizens of
this community would support
an "open door policy" for our
local theaters, just as they have
supported such a policy in other
areas of our community life. We
look forward to the day when
there will be no discrimination
on the grounds of race in any
of the local institutions which
are serving the public. Until
such time, we feel compelled to
withhold our patronage from
this theater.
