STUDENT Owned THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN STUDENT Controlled Vol. XV; No. 10 CULLOWHEE, N. C, MARCH 22, 1948 Published By Student Ass'n Chicken Every Sun. Casted; Comedy Has Character Variety Chicken Every Sunday, the Western Carolina Players' spring quarter production, has been casted with Doug Davis and Maxie Wright in the leading male and female roles, according to Miss Mabel Tyree, director. The play, a hilarious three-act comedy, will be presented in early May. Chicken Every Sunday is a Broadway adaption by Julius and Philip Epstein of Rosemary Taylor's best-seller. The story revolves around life in a modern boarding house out West. The household consists of a heterogenous grouping of characters—poets, prospectors, "Indeens", Mexicans, a negro, a vaudeville dancer, a can opener salesman and a discouraged old maid school teacher. A speculating husband is the cause of most of the headaches and heartaches. In the supporting cast are Ed Cowan, the seasoned prospector; Rachel Sutton as Mlrs. Lawson; her son, Jeffrey, Charlie West; Ida Jo Moody as Miss Gilley; Dan Glenn as Mr. Willard; Don Cabe as Clem; Loee Alley as Mrs. Lynch; Joe Wiggins as Mr. Robinson; Her- by Foster as George Kirby; Jimmy Monroe as Rev. Wilson. Supplying the love interest are Bobby Forrest Lindsey as Harold, a Bos- Dillard as Rosemary Blachman and ton lad. Rehearsals began Tuesday night. Production chairmen have not been appointed. Funeral Services For E. F. Lindberg Held At Methodist Church Wed. Davidson Chorus Well Received; Serenade After Hours Here The Davidson College Male Chorus presented a concert in Hoey auditorium at Western Carolina Teachers college Tuesday night at 8 o'clock. The concert, sponsored by the lyceum committee of W. C. T. C, was the chorus' last in a tour which has taken it through Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. The chorus was directed by Earl F. Berg. Buford Goodman, Kan- napolis, was accompanist. The group has broadcast over a nation-wide CBS hook-up from New York, Richmond, and Philadelphia, and for several years was featured on a series of broadcasts over the Dixie network of the Columbia Broadcasting System. Composed of 50 voices, all but one of whom live south of the Mason-Dixon line, the group is rated as one of the finest male choruses in the South. It has grown, under the leadership of Mr. Berg, James Christian Pfohl, director of music, and former Director Thane McDonald, from an amateur octette more than 50 years ago to its present stature. The program presented included secular and non-secular, and classical and non-classical selections. The program opened with "Ho- die Apparuit," by di Lasso. R. C. Palmer, Jr., a sophomore from Pensacola, Fla., had a solo part in T. Scott's arrangement of "The Erie Canal," and M. L. Chisholm, Kanapolis, and D. P. McGeachy, III, Clearwater, Fla., were heard in the Negro spiritual "Set Down Servant," which was a great favorite with the audience. —Turn To Pag* Four Meth.

Lindberg, college violin and band instructor, who died of a heart attack in his home Sunday night. The body lay in state an hour prior to the services. Rev. R. T. Houts, pastor, officiated. The services were arranged by the local Mason group and fellow Masons served as pall-bearers. Music for the services was presented by the Methodist choir which sang two church hymns. Ruth Hooper, a former violin student of Mr. Lindberg, played Schubert's "Ave Maria." The body was shipped to San Antonio, Texas, Mr. Lindberg's home, for burial. Surviving are his wife and his son, Evan, in San Antonio. Mrs. R. L. Compton and Mrs. Mildred Varney, both of San Antonio and sisters of Mrs. Lindberg, attended the rites. Mrs. Lindberg will return to San Antonio with them. Mr. Lindberg came to Western Carolina in October, 1946, as violin instructor and director of the band and orchestra. He graduated as a violin major from the Wichita College of Music and Dramatic Arts in 1942 after studying under his father, Theodore Lindberg, at San Antonio. Continuing his music studies, he attended the David Manes school in New York City where he was a student of Walfhenson. Later he studied under Wassily Besserker- shy and Anton Wetch. He was employed at the Incarnate Word college in San Antonio as professor of violin and instructor of music. He became concert- meister of the San Antonio Sym- phionetta under Jerome Rappa- port and later accepted a position at the Southwestern Teachers college. Advocating strongly music education in the schools, Mr. Lind- —Turn To Page Two McGinn Chosen By News For All-State Basketball Team Jim Gudger, newly appointed baseball coach of Western Carolina, called the first practice session Tuesday in preparation for a 20-game schedule which begins April 2. About 40 men turned out for the squad. The Catamounts' infield of last year is back intact with Hoot Gibson, Tommy Ellis, and Ovie Heavner at short, Marshall Teague at second and fencebusting, J. B. Beam at first, but several reserves have turned out. Among them are Speck Everhart and Buffalo Humphries. Warren Deyermond is the only returning first line pitcher.

This team was picked from all the college players in this state. McGinn was picked along with Dickey, Bartels, Cartier, Katkav- eck, and McComas from State; Cheek Davidson; Gentry, Wake Forest; Hughes, Duke; Paxton, Carolina. "Ace" was the only player out of the North State Conference chosen. He and Gentry from Wake Forest were the only residents of North Carolina chosen. The Daily News had the following to say about McGinn. "McGinn, who spent a pre-war season with High Point college, followed his old Lexington high school coach, Tom Young, to Cullowhee when Tom became athletic director. This year under Coach Tuck McConnell, Bob, at midseason, became the most dangerous scorer in the North State conference. Elkin tournament officials proclaimed him the best man there despite the fact his team lost a first-round game. He is fast, clever, and smart." Bob was picked over High Point's Ted Moran because he was "the outstanding man in the league." Last year Jim Gudger was picked on this team, putting him and McGinn in a special class by themselves. McGinn played 4 years of basketball and baseball at Lexington. In 1939 he was all-state football manager when Young coached the N. C. team in the Shrine game. —Turn To Page Three 'Kitchen Catamounts' Presented; Cooks Reveal Other Talents The "Kitchen Catamounts" turned out an admirable performance to the students at Western Carolina in assembly last Tuesday. Singing spirituals, the quartet, made up of school cooks, disclosed heretofore hidden talent. The four cooks, Charles and William Sudderth, Roy Jones and Frank Sudderth, master of ceremonies, sang "Little David, Play on Your Harp," "Go Down Moses," "Steal Away," and a modern "Jubilee" number "Chilly Jordan." Although apologies were pro fuse, the program was well received by the students. Frank Sud derth, with his ready wit and hu mor, kept the audience lively and interested. The quartet, who had no formal training began singing a few months ago because they liked to. Since then they have appeared in various church programs. The MC attributed the program to "Miss Henson, little Miss Henson," who is assistant dietitian. Auction Planned For WSSF; Novel Plans Made For The Day Going, Going, Gone! The ole auctioneer is at work again this spring and with some brilliant new ideas too. As you know every year about this time the students and faculty are asked to cooperate with the World Student Service Fund committee in their efforts to help supply food, clothing, medical supplies and books needed by the students of 18 countries in Europe and Asia. Some of the popular items at the auctions in the past years were fishing trips, dinners in Sylva, camping trips, breakfasts in bed, waffle suppers, cakes, pies, and parties. This year's auction should prove even more interesting. The committee plans to build booths in front of the rock wall for their sale and have such things as Jack Allison and Bill Bird giving shaves and haircuts, Mr. Gilbert pressing girls' skirts, Iva Dell Norton offering manicures, Miss Tyree giving boys' shoe shines (although she doesn't know it yet) and June Wright giving shampoos. Plan to attend the auction and cash in on some of these wonderful offers. And remember the date, April 9!!! Members of the committee who are making this auction possible are as follows: Jennie Hensley, chairman; Maxine Barbour, co- chairman; Kathy Moss and Bud Smith, soliciting committee; Jean Godwin and Bonnie Stroupe, cake- walk committee; Betty Weir, Peanut Cotter, and Jack Arrington, money contribution; Virginia Gal- limore and Howard Barnwell, faculty contact committee; Jim Mon- —Turn To Page Three
