  • Iinian LMP Brings Music to Cullowhee by J. Leatherwood Staff Writer Last Minute Productions music coordinator Dan Mills is pleased to announce Up All Night Coffee House guest Mark Firehammer will be performing at the U.C. Cherokee Room, at 8 p.m. Thursday, September 24. Mark Firehammer hails from Tallahassee, Florida, and is an acoustic guitarist- songwriter. His music has strong folk influences, with very personal lyrics, and is certain to appeal to fans of acoustic music. Cost for admission is $ 1.00 for students and $3.00 for non-students. Opening for Firehammer on Thursday will be local band Kinetic Art, whose organ-driven sound is akin to funkadelic, with deft bass guitar, banjo, acoustic guitar and percussion exchanging spotlights behind a vocal arrangement. Also showing on Friday September 25, on the U.C. lawn is another local band, Rufus Grove, who according to LMP's Dan Mills, has had a good reception recently on campus. Rufus Grove is part of the T.G.I.F. concert program brought to you by Last Minute Productions. Go' Whitewater Rafting with LMP for Fail Break LMP OUTDOORS is going on a Whitewater rafting trip to Gauly for Fall Break. Sign-up at the UC Info, desk Barefoot In The Park by J.Leatherwood Staff Writer In Neil Simon's play Barefoot in the Park newly married couple Paul and Cory Bratter find it isn't easy to remain lovers in New York City. Paul and Cory, played by Sean Lakey and Valerie Deitz, move into a six-story apartment building full of unusual neighbors. While Paul is consumed with his career as a lawyer, Cory frets over her own boredom and her mother Ethel's loneliness. Enter Victor Velasco, the absurd, pleasantly profane upstairs neighbor. Josh Cox, who plays Velasco, is a WCU junior. He describes his character as a "real whacko," which is hardly imaginable coming from an actor in a comedy play. Cox makes his character very memorable. Cory tries to introduce her uptight, conventional mother (played by Heidi Beth Masarie) to the 58-year-old, eccentric Victor. Ethel is a winsome matron of about 50, skillfully realized by Masarie, who will be graduating at the semester's end. Masarie's voice and subtlety distracts the viewer from the fact she herself is nowhere near fifty. After a disastrous night out, Cory and Paul Bratter have a falling out over their perceived flaws, and decide to get divorced as soon as possible. Valerie Deitz' performance is reminiscent of Judy Garland's best non-musical moments, a little girl lost in New York. Sean Lakey evinces superb physical comedy in his onstage tirades, comparing favorably to Cary Grant's humorous roles. The remainder of the cast is rounded out by Lorraine Laroque as the delivery person, and Emily Moore as the long-suffering electrician, Harry. Mention must also be made of the extensive set design, complete with broken glass skylight and scaffolding to enable the cast to convincingly perform outdoor scenes on-stage. Dr. Richard Beam arid the stage technicians began work last August and created what must certainly be one of the better scenic designs, with well-placed microphones picking up the players' voices at all angles. The staging is so good that all action is visible from all seats save for the extreme left and right aisles. Overall, the comedy pokes fun directly at modern American marriage partners and their willingness to divorce over petty concerns. 'Barefoot In the Park' has been well regarded since its Broadway debut in 1963. And no, the broken window never gets fixed. Under the direction of Dr. Steve Ayers', Barefoot in the Park will be performed by members of the Theater Arts Department at Niggli Theater from September 22 to 26 at 7:30 p.m. Interested theater-goers should call 227-7491 for reservations to this must-see play. America: Steinbeck and Darwin Want You by Alex Esmon Staff Writer This week's biology department seminar speaker will be Dr. Brian Railsback, Dean of the Western Carolina University Honors College. The title of Dr. Railsback's presentation is "America and Americans: Steinbeck and Darwin Want You." The seminar will be on Friday, September 25, at noon in room 308 of the Natural Sciences Building. Dr. Railsback received his Ph.D. from the University of Ohio in 1990 in the field of American Literature. He had a book published in 1995 entitled Parallel Expeditions: Charles Darwin and the Art of John Steinbeck. He has lectured all over the country on the topic of John Steinbeck. In August, Dr. Railsback was invited to be a guest speaker at the first ever scholarly meeting at the newly opened National Steinbeck center located in Salinas, California. In the words of Dr. Railsback, "Steinbeck attempts to dramatize Darwinian theory." According to Dr. Railsback, Steinbeck went directly to the texts of Darwin and other evolutionists including some "creative evolutionists" to mold much of his philosophy. This week's seminar will be devoted to the ties which exist between Steinbeck and Charles Darwin. Come on out and support the Western Carolina Biology Department this Friday. The Biology Department will be providing refreshments, so come early. April Hyatt Named Catamount Editor-in-Chief Crystal Frame Staff Writer Earlier this year the Media Board announced April Hyatt as the new Editor-in-Chief of the Catamount Yearbook. The Carolinian took a closer look at the 20 year old junior whose mission is to save the 66 year tradition. Originally from Rome, GA and majoring in Electronic Media with a minor in Theater, Hyatt participates in many other campus activities. She is the captain of the colorguard for Western's marching band, a member of the Student Media Board, and a sweetheart for Delta Chi Fraternity. Although Hyatt is actively involved, she still makes the Dean's list every semester, and carries a cumulative GPA of 3.7. Hyatt's future plans include attending film school after earning her BS degree, but her main goal for the present is to increase marketing the yearbook. "In the past years the yearbook's sales have been considerably low, this has got to change if we plan to keep the yearbook at Western," says Hyatt. "We are one of the last universities in North Carolina that publishes a yearbook for their college or university."
