“THE SELLING OF THE SEASON”
“Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat,
Please put a penny in the old man’s hat
If you haven't got a penny, then a half one will do,
lf you haven't got a halfpenny, then God bless you!”
And once again the holiday season is upon us. But as the anonymous rhyme so aptly
Suggested in the eighteenth century, perhaps in light of current economic conditions the
old Christmas goose that adorns most people's tables this year is going to be a bit
thinner than usual. Indeed, almost everyone is concerned with just “making it through
December’. Instead of a “white” Christmas it appears as if a “tight” Christmas is in the
offing. The fact that we're going to be a little less abundant in our material giving this
year might be a blessing in disguise, for it will necessitate the giving of yet another and
more precious of commoditiesourseives. To most, this is the real spirit of Christmas,
Dut you Can rest assured that the “battie for the buck” will be tirelessly waged by the
merchant in order to secure a little “fat” for his own goose.
To be sure, the life of a merchant is a precarious one at best, for in his worid of “super

ANYTHING that grow! probably sounds more like a roar. This “super sell’ philosophy is
nowhere more evident than in the type of material that comes flickering onto the screen

Like most students, my television viewing is one of those pliable juxuries that suffers
considerably during the school year. Occasionally however a small break in the routine.
such as a holiday, will grant me the Opportunity to put it down in the old armchair and
absorb a few undisturbed rays from the “idiot box”. This past Thanksgiving holiday was
Just Such an occasion
As a general rule, have always been intrigued with the mental power that goes
behind selling, and while was sitting there snorking down Planter’s peanuts (a dozen in

that occurred at timeouts when the networks Slipped away for station identification. (or
in layman's terms. the Oreakaway piay to make a buck.)
was amazed by the bombardment of claims that many commercials possessed, and
was equally skeptical as to whether any rational and responsible viewer could accept
these “claims” on the basis of what was shown. Then remembered that most
commericals are aimed at an eighth-grade intellect, in theory ai least. Some however
would be an insult to the average preschooler. Here's just a few examples for your
consideration
Probably those that represent the greatest insult to the intellect are the so-called
“remedy” commercials that seem to appear on the tube every ten minutes. To the casual
viewer they probably don’t mean too much, but to someone viewing American television
for the first time, they might gather the impression that the national affliction is
“Iregularity”, and that at least one out of every ten people you meet suffers from some
symptoms of (you know what). Indeed it may be a fair assumption that without Geritol
and Ex-Lax in our medicine cabinets, we might lack that Old American “get up and go.”
(Depending upon your viewpoint.)
“MEDICALLY PROVEN EFFECTIVE”
The commercials am personally fond of are those in which a distinguished-looking
man in a nice Palm Beach suit, sitting behind a distinguished-looking desk, with sheives
of distinguished-looking books behind him, holds up a folder and asserts in an
authoritative manner that in a “recent report” his product was shown to be the most
effective remedy onthe market. Unfortunately he never reveals exactly what the report
iS, Or what it is more effective than. For all the viewing public knows it might prove that
aspirin is more effective in curing a headache than Standing on your head humming the
National Anthem, in your underwear, ina raging snowstorm, at the north pole, during the
East African monsoon season
Deodorant commercials are a lot of fun too. You automatically know which brand to
Duy if you are interested in having a cotton-ball stick to your arm. Another favorite is the
denture commercial in which the announcer asserts that a “genuine string of pearis made
of denture material” that has been soaked in coffee for ten years is @asily Cleaned by his
product. From my point of view a “string of peals made of denture material” is just a
siring of beads, but they would never call them that. This could suggest two or three
things: 1) the produce doesn't sell and thus the company cannot afford real pearis
2) the product does sell but the company S too cheap to use real pearls, or, 3) the
product will clean your wife's string of peals provided they are made of denture material
and have been soaked in coffee for ten years. ™

Staff Writer
Have you ever been on a Caribbean
cruise? If you have, do you remember how
nice and romantic it was? Now you have a
chance to go again, or to go for the first
time, if that be the case
Thursday from 4:30 - 7:30, Jones
Cafeteria is going to have another of its
famed specials. “Caribbean Cruise” is the
theme und everything will be just as if you
were on the islands
There will be live music by which to
dine and dance. The meal wil! be served
by romantic candielight. Limbo, the
cultural game from the Caribbean will be
played with prizes going to the winners
First prize will be a radio; second prize will
be five silver dollars, and third prize will be
a $2.50 dinner. Every fiftieth person who
walks in the door will receive a Silver
dollar.
“This meal is going to be entirely

Stanely G. Linder, manager of the

ONE FOR MOM
Detergent commercials do more for the glorification of Motherhood than any chapter
of the Future Housewives of America. They ALWAYS reflect mom as the patient.
good-natured type who always looks her best, especially in an “unrehearsed” interview in
which “our roving” reporter always finds her pushing a shopping cart around the
supermarket adorned in the latest St. Laurent original. Probably the one commerical
which typifies thismost is the one in which Mom watches little Johnny jump down from
the schoo! bus and into a mud hole up to his knees. She then laughs good naturedly
turning to the audience assuring us that as long as she has her trusty box of “Sudzo”
she's not about to worry about dirt stains. She keeps smiling as she pulls little Johnny's
muddy clothes off and drops them into the machine. She then lovingly dresses ittie
Johnny again who promptly scoots out the door and dumps his little fanny right back
into the mud hole. Mom still smiles. Again, this could suggest two or three things
1) Mom has an affinity for Muddy clothes. 2) Dad makes “fifty-grand” a year and she
doesn't care what little Johnny does, or 3)
commercial, and she and Dad have taken out a one-hundred thousand dollar life
insurance policy on little Johnny and plan to move to Florida on the money they will
collect when he catches pneumonia and dies from running around in the mud in the
middie of February
Mom is making “fifty-grand” for the
MOBILE HOME PITCH
Living in eastern North Carolina it is almost impossible to escape the high-powered
sales pitch of the mobile home dealer.remember when they were just called trailers.)
It seems that there is so much competition in the market that they will do almost
anything to lure the prospective buyer. Some give away hot-dogs and cokes, and
balloons to the kiddies. Others are more extravagant and give away things such as
Season tickets to the American Legion's summer softball! league. Still others give away
expensive appliances and home furnishing. understand that it is getting to the point
now that if you make them a good deal on a television or pool table they'll throw in the
tratler for free. You've got to be careful about their slogans too. For instance the other
day heard a dealer announce that he was going to give away a free bottle of mouthwash
per customer, “as long as they last.” Did he mean the customers or the

THE GAMBLER:SAD COMPULSION
By CHIP GWYNN
Staff Writer
On some occasions feel the need or
desire to see a certain film more than
ynce. A second screening of the film
offers a unique opportunity to study the
film without having to concentrate too
deeply on the plot and dialogue. This
second or even third viewing of a film
leaves up free to watch for visual detai!s
and certain cinematic effects, which may
have gone unnoticed before

somehow felt the compulsion to see it a
second time. wanted to see it, not for
any visual images, but rather to reaffirm
what thought the film was trying to Say
“The Gambier’ is, indeed, a well made film
but its interpretation of a man who tempts
fate and chance left me in the Bingo
Parlor
Axel Freed (James Caan) is a New York
College English professor, who treats Pts
English class to Dostoevsky, and runs-up
fantastic jie ng debts on the side. In
the opening shots of the film we see Axel

that he has maneuvered himself into a

are ed t he ve hat t wa nly a few

pitiful amount mpared to Axel’s $44,000
provien
At this point in the film we become
fairly sure that Axel’s wheeling and
dealing, in order to pay off his debts, !s
going to adsorb the bulk of the plot. How
ever. Czech born director Karel Reisz
Morgan isadora’) has another idea in
store for us. Through his direction Axel
treats the matter of his debdt so
off-handedly that the seriousness of the
situation is greatly reduced in the minds of
the audience
Reisz further illustrates Axel’s lack of
concern for money by showing him at a
birthday party at the mansion of his
nillionaire grandfather (Morris Carnovsky)
We began to realize that the $44,000 debt
S not going to be the crux of the film and
somehow the feeling that Axel will win
back the money and retire in a blaze of
glory becomes an increasingly dim
prospect as the movie progresses
Almost as easily as he lost it Axel
borrows the $44,000 from his mother
(Jacquelin Brooks). She admonished him
to do some serious thinking about his
gambling problem, but Axel seems to shed
this warning as if it were another bed

PORTRAIT OFA MARRIAGE
PORTRAIT OF A MARRIAGE by Nigel
Nicolson. Paperback $1.95. A Bantam
Book
By PATSY HINTON
Staff Writer
iay in 1962 soon after the death of
wkvilla-West, her son, Nigel, the
taj executor of her estate, cut away
k from a gladstone bag in Vitas
vriting room. In it he found a large
k ina flexible cover filled with his
near pencilled script. The first
, pages were abortive drafts of a couple
rt stories. On the sixth page,
wever, neaded July 23rd, 1920, began an
page first person narrative that
even years later would become an
rational best-seller. For in those
wonty pages Vita Sackville-West,
escendent of a great Kentish family,
qonizingly analyzed a love that possessed
her body and mind, threatening to break up
her marriage - a love for another woman,

This 1920-1921 memoir of Vita’s

Trefusis, written when Vita was 28, fills

There is no doubt that he had the
profound emotion’ part right, in any
event. Vilas memoirs are intensely
moving, absorbing the reader in her
touchingly frank, open style. For
example, she shares her doubts with the
reader in her opening lines: “Of course
have no right whatsoever to write the truth
about my life, involving as it naturally does
the lives of SO many people” and, in
conciusion to her narrative, shares her
sense of foreboding after the termination
of her affair with Violet: “The injustice
and misfortune of the whole thing
oppresses me hourly; it gives me an awful
sense of doom - Violet's doom” And in
between these two lines lies a searing,
passionate account of a marriage that had
every reason not to work and yet did.
Nothing has been heid back; at one
point in the book Vita hestitates to tell of

—xdmits “, personally, have never felt so
free in my life
But Vita saw her affairs (she also had
flings with Virginia Woolf and Rasamund
Grosvenor, a childhood friend) not entirely
as a point of liberation, but rather, as a
fantasy, as one side of what she thought
was her dual personality. She says that
she “Hold(s) the conviction that as the
centuries go on, and the sexes become
more nearly merged on account of their
increasing resemblancessuch con-
nections (as she had with Violet) will be to
a very large extext ceased to be regarded
as merely unnatural, and will be
understood far better” But Vita then
goes on to spout the “perfectiy accepted
theory that cases of dual personality do
exist, in which the feminine and masculine
elements alternately preponderate.” In
several parts of her account she excuses
her actions with Violet as the actions of a
“different person’; she describes herself
as being, ”half mad.” But Vita uses
these excuses, not as an explanation of
her homosexual behavior (she never really
felt any shame or guilt as far as that went),
but rather, as an explanation of her cruel
treatment of Harold, her adored husband.
That Vita consistently, deeply, loved
Harold. even when her affair with Violet
most passionate depths, is
true. The only guilt Vita felt was due to the
suffering she caused her patient, enduring
husband. Throughout her memoirs, she
worries about breaking things to him
gently, about the effect of their separation
on him when she is with Violet in
Europe. Vita refers to Harold as “an angel
upon earth all sweet and gentie and
dependent upon me
And it is Harold who eventually wins
out when the struggie within Vita is at
least partially resolved. Vita eventually
leaves Violet Trefusis and, though she stil!
had affairs, her elopment with Violet was
the only crisis of her marriage to Haroid
Son Nigel sums it up: “Violet had shown
them that nothing could destroy their love,
which was actually enhanced by the
copiete freedom they allowed one
anotherHarold would refer to Vita’s
affairs as ‘your muddies’; she to his (he
also had homosexual bouts) as ‘your
fun’. No jealousy ever arose because of
them.”
PORTRAIT OF A MARRIAGE has been
called “the sort of piece young D.H.
Lawrence might have written had he been a
wornan,”’ (Boston Sunday Herald), “one of
the truly fascinating and civilized books of
this year, and the years to come,” (Leon
Edel). Indeed, this real-life experience of a
woman with a very extraordinary marriage
will live on in sexual history as a supreme
document.

MOVIES NOW
THE THREE MUSKETEERS
By CINDY KENT
Staff Writer
“The Three Musketeers” is a lively,
breezy movie that could well be considered
the most vivacious, animated and funny
movie of the year.
The familiar subject material is greatly
highlighted by the action-filled perfor-
mance of Oliver Reed, Richard
Chamberlain, and Christopher Lee,
Michael York as D’Artagnan, and none
other than Raquel Welch herself as the fair
damsel. Other top-name actors appearing
in the film are Charlton Heston as the
power-hungry Cardinal Richelieu and Faye
Dunaway, as Milady Dewinter, a beautiful
and deceiving French spy, and Geraldine
Chaplin as Queen Mary
The plot starts out with the
introduction of Michael York, a gailiant but
ridiculously clumsy young man who rides
through the 17th eentury French
countryside seeking to prove himself
worthy enough to become one of Louis
XIII's famed musketeers. Through a series
of action scenes combined with many
comic antics and slapstick humor, the
young man finally realizes his dream and
becomes a musketeer, only to find himself
romping into a critical situation involving
romance, danger and political scandal.
The pilot them reveais the scheming
attempts of Cardinal Richelieu and Milady
DeWinter (Faye Dunnaway) to expose the
love affair between the Queen and Great
Britain's Duke of Buckingham, and the
musketeers’ successful foil to their evil
plans
The story is greatiy enhanced by the
tremendous pageantry of the colorful
costumes and background scenery, which
add alot to the many sword-fight scenes
and also a brilliant French court scene
involving a dance and celebration.
Other outstanding features of the film
are Richard Lester's direction and Michael
Legrand’s dynamic, emotional score which
follows along and emphasizes the
romantic and action scenes.
Although “The Three Musketeers” has
been around for a few months, it remains a
cinema-must for this year or any year.
This film playing through Tuesday at the
Park Theater.
Not to miss at the Park soon: SOLDIER BLUE starring Candice Bergen. A movie
which when it was made a couple of years ago was not tremendously received but now
society has caught up with it. See it!

To Fountainhead :
My chest swells with pride and my
spirit soars in awe of the monolithic new
Student Center. But what good is this
monument when it must stand empty unti!
the appointed hour of transformation from
pumpkin to coach.
This morning, arrived at the new
center to seek shelter from the cold, a hot
cup of coffee, and a brief pause to awake
before starting the day. After finding all
doors locked and barred except the patio
doors to the snack bar, gratefully received
a cup of coffee from the counter and sat
down to awake. Later, wishing a
newspaper and the use of a bathroom,
had to slide through the kitchen by an
employee's door and then through a short
hall to the lobby and my objectives. The
people working in the snack bar were both
sympathetic and helpful, but at the
newspaper rack some A-hole comes up
and informs me that the center is officially
closed and must leave, that the center
isn't open until 8:30. What ajoke. OK.
feel relieved now by getting it down, but
the entire episode still looms as some
ridiculous parody of student rights.
One more note. The new billiard room
is really fine. Good tables, nice lighting,
comfy carpeting, etc. But why have
thousands of dollars of pool tables, then
line the walls with montonously identical,
short stubby que sticks with bulky tips
looming at the end of these. It’s akin to
buying a Cadailic and have a joy stick
mounted in the floorboard to steer it with.
Oh well, Back to the Shadows.

children.”
The Moyewood project is one of many
ACEI! endeavors. This project will start

team's plane Jeveloped heating problems,
which caused the plane windows to crack,
requiring an emergency stop in Atlanta. In
Atlanta, the team boarded a new plane and
were on their way to Tuscaloosa.
if the flight affected the team, their play
certainly did not give evidence to the
fact. Throughout the opening half of play,
the Pirates engaged in a see-saw battle for
the lead with the Alabama squad and on
several occasions were able to build a
small lead. However, the Pirates .could
never hold the lead for long and at the
halfway mark in the game, Alabama led

The Pirates tied the score at 41-41
before a pair of East Carolina cold streaks
enabled Alabama to push their lead to
60-45. East Carolina never carne back from
these cold spurts, but played even with the
‘Bama regulars the rest of the way. Late in
the game, the Pirates proved they were not
quitters when they whittled a 19-point
Alabama lead to only ten over a thres

Except for the coid spurts early in the
half, the Pirates were impressive. Coach
Patton praised his players following the
game
“If people don't come to see that kind
of basketball, they just don't like the
game,” said Patton.
As in the Duke game, fouls hurt the
Pirates. Alabama got fourteen more foul

seven more. Patton did not feel the fault

Tates Armstrong and Bob Fleischer
maneuvered inside for two layups and
George Moses converted a free throw for a
three-point play and the Devils led by

out to increase the lead to nine points and
the Pirates were finished.
Duke increased the lead to as much as
12 points in the final minutes of the
game, but the Pirates managed to cut the
final margin to six on Donnie Owens’
18-footer at the buzzer.
Dave Patton felt his team looked much
improved and was proud of the whole team
effort, “We went back home after the State
and worked hard on our rebounding
and think we did an excellent job on the
boards tonight,” said Patton. “And as
long as we have the kind of effort we had
tonight won't complain.”
The Pirates outrebounded the taller
Duke team 47-44. Robert Geter and Larry
Hunt each had 11 rebounds while Bob
Fleischer grabbled 14 rebounds to lead the
Biue Devils.
Patton felt the team’s offensive lapse
and poor defensive play in the second haif
were contributing factors to the Pirates
downfall. “We had a stretch there in the
middie of the second half where we had a
complete breakdown offensively,” noted
Patton. “We made a defensive adjustment
in the locker room at the half but we just
did not execute the defensive changes in
