  • Netters Lose , ., -, , Recap Of ^ Another Player7™"** r°^~Wake Game 5«M Jfit tzitxn OMfcrint Voice of the Students and University Community [ Volume 47,Issue 3 .September 9,1982/Cullowhee, North Carolina Free ) Minority Rules in S.Africa by Willie Dankins Majority rules! That is the case in most situations. However, in South Africa, There is an exception- minority rules. Out ot approximately twenty-two million Blacks, lour million Whites, and two million of mixed origin (Asians and Indians) the Whites rule South Africa. What really goes on inside South Africa? Well, Neeife Ukabam, Nuk for short, from Nigeria sat down for an interview to give some answers. In 1979 Neeife entered the United States where he attended the University of Wisconsin for one semester. But because of health problems Neeife moved to Brevard, North Carolina and later attended WCU. He is a junior finance major here at the university. As mentioned earlier. South Africa is ruled by the White minority. At present Prime Minister Botha is in power. According to Neeife, "Before he (Botha) was elected as a Prime Minister.he promised the people that he was going to cut down on previous idealogies which were against the Blacks. He was goin to neutralize things. He was going let Blacks be freer than they were before. Unfortunately, things are even worse. Botha only wanted to get into power and he succeeded."; Any evidence of Prime Minister Botha making the Blacks "freer" does not seem to be known public or within South Africa itself. "He is not a representative leader," says Neeife. "Just a leader of his race." If a change to majority rule is ever to take place peacefully, something has to be done concerning the right to vote. Neeite explained, "This regime is South Africa is still trying to deprive them (Blacks) of that right to vote by creating what tin- call "Independent Homelands."This occurs when the government takes a collection of people and secludes them. Thus, the secluded are to live on their own. 'That's a very bad strategy," exclaimed Neeife. "It's like having little countries within the United States and they (U.S. government) tell you to go and live in the desert or in the valley and be independent." Neeife also contends that the voting system in South Africa is two- tallied. "In areas where the Whites don't stand any chance of winning elections, they say the votes will be tallied proportionally." Neeife continues, "In this case proportional tallying means that when the Whites bring ten people to vote the Blacks bring in one. Does that sound proportional to you?" Neeife laughs serously. "They (Whites) set things up. give some people (Blacks) money to 'urage them to vote so the government can later say .'Well, the Blacks did vote." " Neeife went on to say. The African native also mentioned that Blacks and Whites are shot down in the streets because these people will talk and the government is very much awafe of that fact. If this is a humane act, I do not think that most of us would want to participate. This apartheid regime which now rules in South Africa involves racial separation. However, according to Neeife there are organizations which are anti- apartheid. "Anc Saweto Women's Organization, student bodies, religious organizations, ect., are all against this apartheid regime," says Neeife. "The important thing is that these organizations are not all Blacks. A lot of the Whites are against it too because it is just wrong." The apartheid system is not formed by the people. It is being created by a "little group of people whe are very, very selfish." Argues Neeife. "These businessmen want to hold the whole wealth of the country. The only way to do it is to tell the whole White population that the Blacks are waging a war against the Whites." I he African native believes that it is only a matter of time before there will be total destruction in South Africa. He states that "When you let somebody misuse something that belongs to you and you know you can beat up that person, you just look at him and laugh and give him a long rope. And, and day you decide to handle him you just clamp down on it." Theatre Needs Expanding by Robert Zipperer What will happen to the space vacated by the University Book and Supply Store when they move to their new location behind A.K.Hinds University Center? According to Dr. Ken Wood, Director of Institutional Studies and Planning, the Book and Supply Store will retain some space for storage, but the allocation of the remaining space is still under scrutiny by University officials. One possible avenue for the allocation of space is a proposed expansion of the Little Theatre. What many students do not know, is that the Industrial Arts shop used to be housed in this same location before the Belk building was completed. Cognizant of this fact, Richard Beam, associate professor of Speech and Theatre Arts, and the Technical Director of the Little Theatre said that there are "estimates of up to 400 Amps of power" already in existing outlets which the Little Theatre could utilize, and which would "potentially double the Little Theatre's lighting capacity from 12 to 24 dimmers." When asked point blank why the Theatre should recieve extra space, Beam replied: "...largely due to the inadequacy of the Little Theatre shop. It's too small...too cramped." Dr. Donald L. Loeffler. Head of the Dept. of Speech and Theatre Arts agreed, "the Theatre does not have suitable shop space," and pointed out that there are three connecting doorways from the Little Theatre to the present Book and Supply Store. Not only would this fact allow for expansion, but it would provide extra fire escapes from the backstage area in the event of fire. Also, the shop expansion would provide a shorter distance to transport scenic materials such as platforms, fiats, and lighting equipment between the Little Theatre and Hoey Auditorium which has no scene shop whasoever. At present, flats for a production in Hoey have to be constructed at the Little Theatre, then moved to Hoey Auditorium for painting and mounting, Loeffler said. After production they are stored in Hoey 108 which has presented a problem since the University groundskeepers do not want the University Players to drive small trucks over the walkway in Hoey Plaza to load and unload at Hoey 108. The proposed expansion would effectively shorten the carrying space between Hoey and the Little Lheatre. Loeffler also said that an expansion would allow "concurrent rehearsal and shopwork" in the Little Theatre, the lack of which has hindered the Dept. in the past. An expansion would "further provide more adequate storage to free Hoey 108 for a'black-box'type studio theatre so that more students could direct studio productions to give the students a better opportunity to learn their craft while they are earning their degrees." In summary, the proposed expansion of the Little Lheatre would help to centralize the functions of the University Players and the Dept. of Speech and Theatre Arts. It would provide needed fire escapes, shop space, lighting capabilities, and effectively reduce the distance of transporting heavy scenery between Hoey Auditorium and the Little Theatre, while opening the possibility of a studio theatre to meet the students needs. Physical Plant Expanding? The next addition to the university may be a new power plant. But. the plant may not be as big a controversy as where the university puts it. Rumor has it that the Hungry Mother Restaurant is the target point. I here may not be too much truth to this rumor, however. According to Al foster, one ot the engineers at the Physical Plant located near the old entrance to the university, there may never be a new power plant simply because the idea "never became more than a request." The actual procedures to obtain a new addition to the university are long and drawn out. Basically, the process was this: I he idea to build a new power plant was brought up at the Board ot I rustees meeting in the Spring of 1982. It was simply a proposal asking the state lor money io build a new power plant which would use at least three fuels elfeciently. WCU's present plant runs only on oil. And. because ot the recent crisis regarding oil the university thought it would be a good idea to have alternate fuel sources should one fuel supply be drastically lowered. Ihe idea lor the new power plant left Western Carolina University to travel to the University ol North Carolina at Chapel Hill lor approval, if it recieves approval there it then travels to Raleigh where the final decision will be made. Western Carolina University's dream to build a new power plant never got past Chapel Hill, unfortunately. And, because of the delay the chances are pretty slim that a new power plant will even be built. Even il the new plant is approved, however, there is no indication that it would be built where the Hungry Mother Restaurant now stands. Furthermore, the three million dollar approximate cost of the plant requires strict study as far as the budget is concerned. This means that even if the plant was approved the university might not receive the money until near the year 1985. Even the hypothetical approval of the idea should not bother the loyal fans of the Hungry Mother to seriously, according to Al foster the proposed site was the area near the warehouse where the old Sewage Trea'tment Plant used to be located. Race Cancelled I he lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity regrets to announce that the 13th Annual Rait Race has been postponed due to water level difficulties and problems in scheduling. Ihe race has been moved to the spring seniestei where it promises to be the same big event. \ e look forward to seeing vou in the spring.
