The Western Carolinian VOL. XI NO. 2 CULLOWHEE—A JEWEL IN THE HEART OF THE GREAT SMOKIES WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1943 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENT ASSOCIATION 'Great Big Doorstep' Is Fall Production Of Dramatic Group Rehearsals for "The Great Big , Doorstep", the fall dramatic production of the Western Carolina players, are under way and, according to the director, Miss Mabel Tyree, the play is shaping up rapidly with one of the most delightful comedies the local theatre group has ever given. An escape play produced on Broadway last season by Herman Shumlin with Dorothy Gish and Louis Ahern in the leading roles, The Great Big Doorstep was a complete success and received flattering comments from the critics. In a sea of serious drama based on such current problems as war and the survival of democracy it was an island of fun and two hours relief from the weighty cares of the day; yet it has an undercurrent of seriousness into which a discriminating theatre goer can sink his teeth and feel that he has seen a worthwhile play. It is these qualities which prompted the Western Carolina Players to choose The Great Big Doorstep for presentation at this time. Standing mid-way between Heart of a City last spring a drama of London under the blitz of 1940, and Tomorrow the World, scheduled for the winter production, a play based on the problem of the Nazi indoctrinated growth after the war, it provides the interlude to lightness necessary to balance the local theatre program. The plot of The Great Big Doorstep centers around the life of a Cajun family in the Mississippi delta region, a family headed by a shiftless Micawber type father and an energetic intense little mother who battles ceaselessly against the prison bars of her husband's laziness to provide a decent home for her growing brood and to hold her family together. Bob Hall, of Sylva, a senior, who has already won his dramatic laurels in "Smilin' Through and "Heart of a City", and Betty Lamb Gudget, senior of Asheville, likewise an experienced actress in Player offerings, carry the leading roles. Supporting them are Fay Carter, Ida Jean Allison, Essie Mae Hall, Sarah Rogers, Jack Angel, Bill Bird, Fred Houk, Frances Bollinger, James Scruggs and Elizabeth Ann Hunter. Miss Charlotte Watson of the art department, is designing the set, an outdoor scene in the delta wilderness. Enrollment For Fall Quarter Now Totals 226 According to Miss Addie Beam, registrar, enrollment at Western Carolina Teachers College for the fall quarter is 226. The number of boys has decreased to only 28; the freshmen girls making up the greater part of the student body. Several of the boys expect to leave for various branches of the service at the end of the fall quarter through regular induction procedure and the navy reserve program. $11,353 In War Bonds and Stamps Bought By College College Training School employees bought a total of $11,353.15 worth of war bonds and war stamps from July 1 to October 1. The amount each class at the training school bought is as follows: Senior class, $4,179; Junior class $761.50; Sophomore class $125; Freshman class, section B, $1,050.40. This makes a total of $6,115.50. The college faculty has purchased $5,237.25 worth of bonds and stamps. Delta Kappa Gamma Has Memorial Service Miss Nelle Bond, critic teacher in French in the McKee Training School, was in charge of a memorial service for Miss Trixie Arlene Jenkins, who died last summer, at the first meeting of the year of the Gamma Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma, Women's Professional Education Fraternity, at the Vanderbilt Hotel, Asheville, Saturday, October 3. Mrs. Carl Killian, critic teacher in English, reviewed Miss Jenkins' work as a member of the training 5-chool faculty, as a member of Delta Kappa Gamma, and as a professional teacher. Mrs. Helen Johnson McMurray, of Marion, accompanied by Mrs. Crosby Adams, concluded the service by singing "God Shall Wipe Away All Tears." During the business session, concluded by Miss Fannie Goodman, critic teacher in the seventh grade, and president of Gamma Chapter, Miss Alice Benton of the physical education department was installed as secretary of the chapter; Miss Bond, chairman of the program committee, outlined the programs for the year and announced a joint meeting of the Gamma and Mu Chapters, October 30, at the Vanderbilt Hotel, Asheville; and Miss Cordelia Camp, director of the training school and State president of Delta Kappa Gamma, reported on the national convention in Chicago in September. Dining Hall Rules To Be Stressed One of the rules of the dining hall states that "Happy Birthday" or any other song cannot be sung without the permission »of the dietitian. The senate talked this rule over and decided that it should be stressed more since it hadn't been observed very closely this year. The senate has passed a rule that says that the host or hostess will be held responsible for the group at their table. If this rule is not observed the hosts will be reported to the senate and will be sent an official reminder; on the third offense he will be brought before the senate and duly punished. The purpose of these rules is to improve the conduct in the dining hall. Men Elect Officers For House Govt. The second meeting of the Men's House Government for the school year 1943-44 was held in Madison Hall on October 8, at 9 o'clock P. m. Dean W. E. Bird and Assistant Dean Clarence Chrisman were present. The meeting was opened by President Robert Hennessee who recognized Dean Bird. The Dean made a talk to the boys explaining various rules and regulations. He also t ressed the need for conformity to certain college standards. The primary purpose of the meeting was to elect a vice-president for the Men's House Government. Lynwood Halliburton from Richmond county was unanimously 1orted to this post. Edwin Allman and Robert Howell were elected councilmen for the first quarter. The meeting was closed with provision for a new meeting in the future. Rev. Samuel Chu Guest Of College The Reverend Samuel Chu of \ Hong Chow, China, was a of the teachers college for ten days j recently. Mr. Chu came to Cullowhee directly from the Asheville Farm School Presbyterian church at the Warren -J. Wilson Vocational Junior College, where he was a guest of the college and the. Reverend G. Gordan Mahy. Mr. Chu is in the South to observe at first hand the rural churches and to study the rural sociology of this section. This year of .Mr. Chu's personal observation and study in America is being divided among Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky and Alabama. Having been in America for three years he is probably spending the last year of his visit to this country. He was graduated from Hong Chow Christian College in 1926 and in the same year received his degree in theology from Nanking Seminary. At Cullowhee Mr. Chu spoke before students in history anl sociology classes. jfp, On Friday morning the visitor spoke to the student body «tf the training school. Congratulating the faculty and students in being in America, Dr. Chu stated that his listeners had no conception of the conditions now existing in China. Discussing the Sino-Japanese War, Mr. Chu pointed out that China is not Japan's enemy. The Chinese do not like the Japanese, but the Japanese try to build up a friendship among the Chinese in order to defeat them and to dominate trade. It is the Americans, British, and Russians who are Japan's enemies, the speaker said. Among the differences between the Chinese and Japanese Mr. Chu mentioned that the Chinese, as a whole, are an honest people, while Japanese are not; the Chinese are chaste, but the Japanese are passionate and aggressive; the Chinese are patient and hopeful, whereas Japanese are impatient and discontented; the Japanese are war-minded, but the Chinese peace- loving, and fight only to protect themselves. In China the highest social rank is that of the teachers, the scholar, the student; in Japan the soldier ranks highest of all professional, Mr. Chu said. Japan dreams of world conquest, Mr. Chu concluded, "but we must wake her from her pleasant illusion. China was helpless against the enemy alone, but with the help of America and Great Britain, I know we will defeat the Japanese." Youth Fellowship Officers Elected Officers for the Youth Fellowship, college religious group of the Methodist church, were elected Sunday evening, September 26. Ann Brittain was elected president, Helen Hartshorn, vice president, and "Sandy" Daves, secretary-treasurer.
