Triangle Tribune WWW.TRIANGLE TRIBUNE.COM Back to school The Triangle Ensuring a high quality education for all students in North Carolina districts By Cedric Johnson THE POLICY WATCH RIBUNE It’s back to school time, and more than 1.5 million students embarked TTHE TRIANGLE’S CHOICE FOR THE BLACK VOICE upon a new school year. Currently, the 10th-largest public school system in the nation, North Carolina has experienced steady growth in the number of students entering school doors in local communities across the state – VOLUME 18 NO. 30 WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2016 $1.00 enrolling more than 100,000 additional students over the past decade. This makes it more important than ever to increase investment in schools to en- sure the growing number of students receive a high quality education. The makeup of students in public schools has changed over time. Last North Carolina Central school year, no single race or ethnic group represented a majority of North Carolina’s student enrollment — a reflection of the changing demographic adds six transfers to trend in the state’s broader population. Furthermore, one of every two stu- recruiting roster. dents in public schools qualified for free or reduced school meals, which indicates that a significant number of students reside in low- and moder- ate-income households and face persistent economic challenges. One way to ensure that our schools have the resources to provide a qual- ity education to all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background, is through the state budget, which serves as an important source of educa- tion funding for our schools.

    DAILY EDITION 26 AUGUST 2016 1 Fashion. Beauty. Business. One of Paris’ most influential designers of the 20th century, Sonia Rykiel died Thursday at the age of 86. With her signature shock of frizzy red hair and magnetic personality, Rykiel thrived on her own terms. Reflecting on her career a few years ago, she told WWD: “Since I didn’t know anything, I did everything I wanted. I didn’t listen to anyone. I was so violent, so authoritarian, only listening to what I wanted and myself. People loved me or hated me. Those who loved me, loved me a lot. The others, I didn’t bother with them very much.” Here, the designer Sonia Rykiel photographed by WWD in Paris in 1978. 1930-2016 For more, see pages 4, 5 and 6.

  • GSC Films: S-Z
    GSC Films: S-Z Saboteur 1942 Alfred Hitchcock 3.0 Robert Cummings, Patricia Lane as not so charismatic love interest, Otto Kruger as rather dull villain (although something of prefigure of James Mason’s very suave villain in ‘NNW’), Norman Lloyd who makes impression as rather melancholy saboteur, especially when he is hanging by his sleeve in Statue of Liberty sequence. One of lesser Hitchcock products, done on loan out from Selznick for Universal. Suffers from lackluster cast (Cummings does not have acting weight to make us care for his character or to make us believe that he is going to all that trouble to find the real saboteur), and an often inconsistent story line that provides opportunity for interesting set pieces – the circus freaks, the high society fund-raising dance; and of course the final famous Statue of Liberty sequence (vertigo impression with the two characters perched high on the finger of the statue, the suspense generated by the slow tearing of the sleeve seam, and the scary fall when the sleeve tears off – Lloyd rotating slowly and screaming as he recedes from Cummings’ view). Many scenes are obviously done on the cheap – anything with the trucks, the home of Kruger, riding a taxi through New York. Some of the scenes are very flat – the kindly blind hermit (riff on the hermit in ‘Frankenstein?’), Kruger’s affection for his grandchild around the swimming pool in his Highway 395 ranch home, the meeting with the bad guys in the Soda City scene next to Hoover Dam. The encounter with the circus freaks (Siamese twins who don’t get along, the bearded lady whose beard is in curlers, the militaristic midget who wants to turn the couple in, etc.) is amusing and piquant (perhaps the scene was written by Dorothy Parker?), but it doesn’t seem to relate to anything.
