THE RAMBLER
Wednesday, JMovember 27, 1963
the J ^resident 2>eaJ?
Five minutes before the beginning of. this Writing,, the *
President of the United States died in Parkland Hospital—
Dallas, Texas.
Yet did the President really die, or did a mortal man die?
To the American people, John F. Kennedy represented
not merely a symbol of man and life,' but rather an ideal that
thousands of Americans spilled their blood for through every
battlefield in the world. John F. Kennedy stood for every\
Democratic principle that we, as a free people, pursue today.
The man .who pulled the trigger — did he actually think
that in five brief minutes he could cut down liberty,- jus-
tice, and equality for all mankind by* the brutal murder of
one man? V—/
His answer lies within the reaction of the people to his
radical causg — the. stillness of the campus succumbing only
to the whisper of'the wind, the glistening tears in the eyes
of the students, the silent prayers felt in the hearts of all as
they watched the flag drop to a reverent half-mast.
John F. Kennedy aerially never died five minutes ago,
because Democracy, thank God. will always exist ui the hearts
of free men everywhere.

Certainly citizens of this country have more to be thank-
for for than any people in the world. Yet. sometimes we allow
ourselves to become too concerned about trifles or too fh-
volved in frivolity to seriousfy take stock of our blessings and
to be truly thankful.

Hollywood will be held" over for
its second week starting tomor-
row. The theater will then close
until Christmas for remodeling.
It will be quite a Christmas pres-
ent for everyone.
A master film of 1939 will get
a re-run at the 7th Street Theatre
beginning on Thanksgiving Day.
It is Wuthering Heights.
The story ot Wuthering Heights
unfolds on the wild and desolate
moors of Yorkshire in., England.
It is a tale of a high-spirited,
quick-tempered, beautiful girl,
who is loved madly by two men—
oneT half-gypsv and half-gentle-
man, the other rich and well born.-
Merle Oberon, playing Cathy,
is desperately in love with Lau-
rence OliveiS playing Heathclif!.
But the glittering wealth and es-
teemed social position of "Edgar
Linton, portrayed by David Niven,
leads qjhe girl into an unhappy ro-
mance.
The strange three-cornered love
story is told with dramatic im-
pact, sweeping romance and in
terms of stark human emotions,
mysteriously influenced by the
desolate ryioors.
This is the last day to see two
of the all-time most successful
movi.(^*KT5#cals, The King and I
and Oklahoma! The double bill i-
showing at the Bowie.
Oklahoma! stars Gordon M -
Rae and Shirley Jones. It was first
seen in 1955.
Starred in The King and I are
Yul Brynner, Deborah Kerr and
Rita Moreno. This film was made
in 1956.
