Clarence Rutherford is a witch.
Rutherford (not his real name) is also a UNC graduate
student and teaching assistnat. He is convinced that he got his
job as a teaching assistant because of his -powers."
1 am sure of it," Rutherford said adamantly in an
anonymous DTH interview. "It was extremely unlikely that I
would get the position. So my friends and I got together and
concentrated on me and the job for three hours. The next day I
was informed that the job was mine."
Rutherford is not the only witch in the area. A young
woman who introduces herself as the "high priestess" of North
Carolina frequently and mysteriously appears at Chapel Hill
parties, swishing around in a long black gown and informing
people of her status. After making rounds among the
bewildered guests, she leaves.
"I got an eerie feeling when she was there," one such guest
confided. "There's something really spooky about that girl.
She made my skin crawl." (Not all guests are so impressed by
the priestess. One quipped: "She is a fake. I swear I saw her in
Blimpie's the other day wearing jeans and acting halfway
normal.)
Some people insist that a coven meets regularly on Rogers
Road and scatters dead chickens around the site. Others claim
to have observed in Forest Theatre last year a circle of 13
young women dressed in black and chanting monotone
rituals. The leader of the women, on discovering the intruders,
ordered them away.
Despite these rumors of black capes and dead chicken
fetishes, the Chapel Hill sorcerers hardly fit the traditional
witch image. Clarence Rutherford, for example, is lanky, pale
and very ordinary looking. "I only use my broom for sweeping
the kitchen floor," Rutherford said. "I realize that I should
look weird. I tried letting my hair frizz once . . . Itdidn'tlook
good at all."
Rutherford's wit becomes disgust when he speaks of what
he calls "the layman's misconceptions."
"My beliefs are very personal, very important to me," he
said. "I keep quiet about these things. People automatically
label you a freak. But what you call witchcraft is a religion to
me."
What, then, does Rutherford's religion entail?
"There are no vendettas, no hexes," he insists. "My powers
and the powers of my friends are forms of ESP and mental
telepathy. We do good things. We get jobs for each other with
our powers. We help sick friends get well. We have a good time
together."
Rutherford does not indulge in undue devilment. He
saunters down Franklin Street like anyone else. He wears
jeans and prefers his meat cooked. "I have never," he
emphatically stressed, "turned anyone into a frog."

- "Happy New Year" ("La Bonne Annee")
The director of "A Man and a Woman," Claude
LcLouch, created this stylish and entertaining
crime caperlove story about a jewelry-store
robbery and a romance with a fiercely
Independent antique-store proprietress next,
door, both conducted by the witty and
accomplished actor Lino Ventura. (Friday at 7
and 9:30 p.m., Saturday at 2, 7 and 9:30 p.m.,
Greenlaw Auditorium, $1.50, the Alternative
Cinema). 1
- "42nd Street" This BusSy Berkeley
musical is not as evenly structured as "Gold
Diggers if 1933" practically all the musical
numbers come end-on-end in the last reel
but the plot is classic. Ginger Rogers is
Anytime Annie, a gold digger par excellence.
(Friday at 6:30 and 9 p.m., the Great Hail,
Union free flick).
Things to Come" This 1936 British
science-fiction film is notable for a
screenplay by H.G. Wells, who espoused his
technocratic view of the future with the help
of a set designer who fancied an automated
society still steeped in Art Deco. (Saturday at
6:30 and 9 p jn., Carroll Hall, Union free flick.)
The Last American Hero" One of the
movie that got away. Jeff Bridges plays a
racing-car driver, and his movie is about more
than racing. It's only two years old. (Sunday at
6:30 and 9 p.m., the Great Hall, Union free
flick).
Chapel Hill
"Child Under a Leaf" Dyan Cannon's
provocative performance won great reviews
for this Canadian film at Cannes and Atlanta
(and some would say it's about time; she has
played the shallow tramp too many times for
patience.) (Plaza I, at 2:30, 4:45, 7:05 and 9:20

Shakespeare's dark comedy of revenge, redemption and mercy. The Merchant .
of Venice, will be performed by; the National Shakespeare Company on'
JANUARY 20 at 8:00 P.M. in Memorial Hall. Admission is $2.00, and tickets ,
are available at the Union desk and at the door, at show time. Still a highly '
controversial play. The Merchant of Venice sets comic themes of the parable of
the caskets and the anecdote of the rings against the darker story of the pound
of flesh, and the troubling, tragic figure of Shylock. The production is staged by
the National Shakespeare Company, a nationally respected touring troupe
based in New York. "
