  • PAGE 14/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/1977 SPECIAL FALL EDITION Let's dance Starlite Disco built to be 'Finest discoteque in Southeast' Eight months ago. Haywood Count) saw the opening of a new shot in the arm to the night life in this area. MAKIIII DISCO, on Balsam Road in Wesl Waynesville, offers rambunctious entertainment in an exciting atmosphere of greai sound and a remarkable computerized light show. Owners Lewis Van and Marian Ann Green and and B. R. ("Babe Ruth") and Joyce Burris of Waynesville partnered the venture (they also co-own Tape Shacks in Waynesville and Franklin) and erected the attractive egg-shell stucco and natural wood section building containing almost 9,000 square feet in a matter of 69 days. The partners wanted to establish the finest disco in the Southeast and (raveled through six states visiting well-known establishments in order to incorporate the finest features into their new club. As you enter the building you are immediately struck by the marvelous use of color—light walls with bold stripes of green, orange, red and blue with a sea of carpet a lush red swirl with orange, burgundy and brown, and the black topped tables and chairs match the huge black leather and simulated slate top bar. An unusual feature of the bar is the red carpet that covers the front of the bar from the floor. All the lighting is unique from the chrvstal chandeliers with concave colored square prisms set in chrome to the Tiffany lamps w hose shades carry North Carolina college emblems. In the separate large bright game room are row upon row of glittering exciting new machines—pinball, bowling, baseball, hocky or tennis and four machines called "foosball." The tables and chairs are arranged in two sections, one terraced down from the other leading to the dance floor @£©<gj©© wqDO©^ DQQaOISC|D1^ located on NC107 South of Cullowhee Hours: 8:30-5 Mon.-Sat PLANTS SOIL POTS FERTILIZERS FASHIONS Welcomes back WCU Staff & Students OLD SALEM SPORTSWEAR OLD TOWN SPORTSWEAR MAVERICK DENIM JEANS Also Genuine Leather Coats JIM & ME LONG DRESSES ME II AFTER 5 WEAR COMPLETE LINE OF KHAKI SPORTSWEAR 52 E. Main St OPEN 9 to 5:30 Six Days a Week Onen till 8 on Friday Sylva, N. C, and the stage. The 50 foot raised and carpeted stage will accommodate performing groups or other functions such as a fashion show luncheon which could well be imagined in this elegant room. Of course the most exciting feature is the disc jockey station which houses the elaborate control panel with two turntables for records, a tape deck and the computerized light and sound panels which are grouped together for easy handling by the DJ. From here he can control the four cameras which flash animated slides on four sections of the side walls, coordinating the pictures to the mood of the music. He can light the 9 foot high by 50 foot long plexiglass wall behind the stage—this features 800 stars scattered over the wall with a large star in the center-the stars pulsate and the ontside ones twirl-or he can light the center star on the one-inch thick plexiglass dance floor and the squares of pulsating muted lights—all in the theme colors of green, orange, red and blue. Then he might activate the elaborate starburst design of 280 colored bulbs in the ceiling of the seating area. This design features a huge lighted ball in the center below the starburst—when the ball revolves the colored lights are reflected on the carpet below. He can beam four ceiling lights onto the stage when large bands arc performing. The strobe lights on the wall reflect on the dance floor. All in all, there is a programmed capability of a possible 8,000 different pattern changes and the patterns can be frozen or set automatically or can be controlled at will by the DJ. He was chosen and trained by a professional disc jockey from Atlanta and is already at ease with the intricate system. The seating capacity of the club is 500. It is geared to the young adult and is strictly a membership club with a brown bag permit and a beer license. The club has special features such as ladies night and brings in live bands every four to six weeks. In the near future they will be opening on Saturday afternoons for the 13 to 17 age group at which time they will serve soft drinks only. Present hours are 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. except Sunday. Off duty policemen patrol the area constantly and the partners have an observation post where they can see the action. The general reaction is one of amazement and gratification that here at last is a really nice place to spend an evening and not spend a fortune. As the Atlanta disc jockey put it, "There isn't a place in Atlanta that can touch it." And the owners know they have the finest discoteque in the Southeast. Class starts Wed. as WCU switches to semester system Fall classes will begin Wednesday, a month earlier than usual, under a new academic calendar based on the semester system. Registration for new stuocnts is scheduled for ; a.m. until 4 p.m. Monday and for continuing students from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. Tuesday, with drop-add from 1 until 4 p.m. that afternoon. Late registration is scheduled for 1 until 4 p.m. Wednesday through Friday along with regular drop-add. (Late registration costs an extra $10; a "late fee"). In adopting the new calendar after more than 50 years on the quarter system, Western Carolina will join the state's other public universities in operating on the so-called "early semester," in which the fall term begins in August and ends before the Christmas holiday. East Carolina University, in Greenville, N.C, is also making the switch this year. The change means a shorter summer for more than 7,000 students and faculty members. Last fall quarter's classes began on Sept. 20. The conversion follows a period of intensive planning after the WCU Faculty Senate and the Chancellor Dr. H. F. Robinson approved the the change in spring. 1975. A special steering committee developed guidelines for reviewing all the university's courses and programs during the conversion process, and many courses were dropped or modified. Western Carolina has been on the quarter system since sometime before 1920, when it began to subdivide the academic year into terms. An academic semester is typically about 15 weeks long, as opposed to a 10- or nine-week quarter.
