Girls Invade Rifle Team
By Lyndon Mayes
Annie Oakley ia “gonna git” to
Mercer. .
The fame of the legendary wo
men sharpshooter may appear this
year at Mercer ae three Co-eds
join the ROTC Rifle Team, for
the first time in its history.
Just tike the boys the girls are
required to come to at least three
of the five one hour and a half
sessions held each week. They also
have the chance to participate in
the intercollegiate matches held
at the various colleges.
Barrie Wilkie, a Sophomore,
gives her reason for joining the
team as, “I got a .22 for my birth
day this summer and since then
rifiery has become my sport be
cause I am so independent and
stubborn. When I blow a match
there ia no one to kick but myself
and when I shoot well no one can
really feel the satisfaction except
me.”
The boys feei that having the
girls on the team have made them
selves improve. Having to coach
the girls in their shooting made the
boys look at their own shooting
more critically, and as one of the
boys explained it, “You have to
have a good reason for everything
you tell them and then if there ia
anyway to keep it from working,
they will find it”
The male ego appeared a email
bit aa one of the team members
explains, “seeing the girls shoot
just as well or better at the same
stage of our shooting makes us
realise that we aren't as good as
we thought—so now we are better
—thanks to them.” All of the rifle
team will agree however that the
competition is not between the sex
es but between the marksman,
sharpshooter and the experts.
“A Question of feminity may
arise,” the team member added,
“when the match is over there is
nothing cuter than a girl trying
to look natural in baggy fatigues
and combat boots.
When asked why she wanted to
join the Ilifle Team Karen Smith,
a Freshman replied “I’ve always
been interested in shooting and it
helps to develop my concentration
end coordination.” Nancy Raines,
also a Freshman wanted to join
because “it was different and in
teresting.”

New Cinema Series Proves
Movies New Art Medium
By Johnny Turner
The new Cinema films which
were shown here No. 21 through
24 should have provided conclusive
proof to any doubtful sksptic that
the motion picture is a major art
medium. Those students who were
not frightened off by the one dol
lar admission were rewarded with
one and a half hours of excellent
entertainment.
Every one of thaw» fflmt ia a
notable achievement, however sev
eral seemed to stand out above the
others and deserve more than pass
ing notice.
"Two Castles” is a film which
seemed to make a big hit with
Mercer Audiences. It is a decep
tively simple csrtoon about a little
man who bites off more than he
can handle.
“The Fat And The Lean” does
not have quite as much relevance
in America aa it would in a still
more or less class conscious Eu
rope, but it fir an interesting film
from a psychological viewpoint in
that it explores class struggle and
rebellion.
“Allures” has got to be close to
the wildest visual sensation ever
made. This film is even better than
Jimi Hendrix as far as flashing
lights and hallucinogenic* are con
cerned. It ia sort of like a com
puterised LSD trip.
Aside from “Allures,” “Renias-
sance" takes the prixe in the
‘strangest ever' category. There is
an explosion end then all of the
ingredients of civilisation begin
to slowly reconstruct themselves.
The owl representing knowledge,
the horn representing inventions,
the doll and photograph represent
ing man, the law book and Bible
obviously representing justice and
religion, all of these things slowly
take shape and then a clock and
two grenades get together and the
whole scene is blown up again. The
message comes through very clear
ly in this brilliant film.
The best photography among the
films was found in “Corrida Inter-
dite.” The slow motion color brings
out nil of the drama beauty and
sheer horror of bullfighting far
more effectively than viewing an
actual fight ever could.
The last film shown was “La
Jetee" and this was fitting because
it would upstage any movie which
followed it “La Jetee” is an exer
cise with the mind and perhaps
this is why some people did not
like it. The movie plays with two
favorite subjects of science fiction;
time and World War III, and bal
anced between these two abstrac
tions is a moving love story. The
unavoidable ending makes this a
very effective movie.
