Bowen Suggests "Pressure 11 Senior Senator Mike Bowen of Winston-Salem called for the students to put more pressure on their senators in an interview here this week. Bowen, chosen as Student Senator of the Week, said that "The students have in the Student Senate a powerful tool through which they might gain their desired ends if they but realized it." "Students should," he commented, "through the minutes of the Senate meetings published in the Western Carolinian, the reports placed on the bulletin boards of the Student Union, and through the ol their handbooks become familiar with what the Senate is capable of doing and what it is currently Then, by putting pri rs, holding ma and ote on particular issues, they will express their wishes through them." Senator Bowen, president of the senior class and Kappa Sigma Kappa Fraternity, is currently backing the issu membership in the United States National Student Association. He is a member of the Greek Council and the Inter-Club Council, and has previously held the offices of President of the sophomore class, vice-president of the sophomore class, vice-president historian of Kappa Sigma Kappa Fraternity, and junior class senator. Commenting further on the lack of student interest, Bowen said that "Without the student interest, the Student Senate operates in a vacuum. In short, the Student Senate is precisely what BOWEN nd it will ly, ex Ividual opinions 01 I their Bowen said that "opened the door'' to student interest, but "whatever ha depends on the students." "A point in hand," he said, 'is the current telephone pi in the dormitories." (Tli. ate currently plans to In gate the possibilities of installing more telephones in the dormitories.) Bowen requested that the students, if interested in this progress, express themselves to their senators and through letters to the editor of On Campus with M&QhuIman (Author of "I Was a Teen-age Dwarf, "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis", etc.) EDUCATIONAL TV: ITS CAUSE AND CURE A great deal of nonsense has bei d written about educational television. Following is my contribution: It has been said that television allots no desirable viewing hours to educational and intellectual programs. This is simply not so. For instance, you can see "The Kant and TTep;cl Hour" every day at 4 a.m. This excellent show is followed at 5 a.m. by "Kierkegaard Can Be Fun." For such lazy scamps as lie abed beyond that hour, there is a splendid program on Sunday mornings at 7:15 called "Birds of Minnesota, Except Duluth." So much for the myth that TV gives no prime time to educational programs. Now let us deflate another canard: that TV is not eager to inject intellectual content in all its programs. If you have sat, as I have sat, with a television planning board, you would know that the opposite is true. I was privileged recently to witness a meeting of two of TV's topmost program developers—both named Binkie Tattersall. "Binkie," said Binkie to Binkie, "if there is one thing I am bound and determined, it's that we're going to have intellectual content in next season's programs." "Right!" replied Binkie. "So let us put on our thinking caps and go to work." "I forgot my thinking cap in Westport," said Binkie, "but I have a better notion: let us light a Marlboro." "But of course!" cried Binkie. "Because the best way to think is to settle back and get comfortable, and what is the cigarette that lets you settle back and get comfortable?" "I said Marlboro," answered Binkie. "Weren't you listening?" "A full-flavored smoke is Marlboro," declared Binkie. "Rich tobacco, pure white filter, a choice of pack or box. What is better than a Marlboro?" "A Marlboro and a match," replied Binkie. "Got one?" Binkie had, and so they lit their good Marlboros and settled back and got comfortable and proceeded to cerebrate. "First of all," said Binkie, "we are going to avoid all the old cliches. We will have no domestic comedies, no westerns, no private eyes, no deep sea divers, no doctors, and no lawyers. - "Right!" said Binkie. "Something offbeat." "That's the word-offbeat," said Binkie. They smoked and cerebrated. "You know," said Binkie, "there has never been a series about the Coast and Geodetic Survey." "Or about glass blowers," said Binkie. They fell into a long, torpid silence. ."You know," said Binkie, "there's really nothing wrong with fcf^ Ikhflj^&ep^Mnifah^ PktfflMP. a cliche' situation—provided, of course, it's offbeat." "Eight!" said Binkie. "So let's say we do a series about a guy who's a family man with a whole bunch of lovable kids who play merry pranks on him." "Yeah, and he's also a cowboy," said Binkie, "And a deep sea diver," said Binkie. "With a law degree," said Binkie. "Plus an M.D.," said Binkie. "And he runs a detective agency," said Binkie. "Binkie," said Binkie to Binkie, "we've done it again'" They shook hands silently, not trusting themselves to speak, and lit Marlboros and settled back to relax, for Marlboro is a cigarette not only for cerebration, but for settling back within fact, for all occasions and conditions, all times and climes, all seasons and reasons, all men and women, o i«ea mm sbuimu Thin column is sponsor- .'— sometimes nervously—by the makers of Marlboro, who invite you to try their fine filter cigarettes, available in king-size pack or flip-top box at tobacco counters in all 50 states. the Western Carolinian.

Kennedy and Elizabeth Taylor were named as the world's most attractive personalities by collegians in a nation-wide poll conducted by, and revealed in, the current issue of CAMPUS ILLUSTRATED, the national magazine of the college community. Male collegians were united in stating that Miss Taylor is the most "beautiful woman in the world." Coeds termed the president "a man among men." "Beauty, charm and simplicity" were the adjective most used in describing Jacqueline Kennedy, the second choice of college men. The President's "lady" far outdistanced another "lady," third-place holder, Grace Kelly, who was termed "the epitome of social grace and poise." The nation's coeds made Paul Newman as easy second-place winner because the girls felt "the eyes (Newman's) have it." Still on the optical kick, coeds named Rock Hudson to third place because he has that "come hither look." Completing the coed's top ten list are John Gavin, Gary Grant, Robert Kennedy, Dwight D. Eisenhour, Nelson Rockefeller, John Wayne and Peter Lawford. Kim Novack, Gina Lollobrigi- da, Sandra Dee, Debbie Reynolds, Julie London, Sophia Loren and Brigitte Bardot complete the male students' top ten choices. Wenger Proves Yogi The Real McCoy According to a recent article in the National Observer a researcher from UCLA has proven that man feats the yogis claim they can accomplish are valid and true. Dr. Marion Wenger, a member of the Psychology Department at the University, made the study in 1957. The report was made last week. Some of the outstanding feats were slowing the heartbeat to a near stop and sweating in a cold climate.

"Remember, man, that thou art dust, and unto dust thou shalt return." This quotation from the Book of Genesis captures the essence of the current religious season observing the forty weekdays preceeding Easter Sunday. An ancient word in the English language, "Lent" has roots going back to an Anglo-Saxon ng Spring. Not all Christian churches observe it in the same manner, however, and some do not observe it at all. The Roman Catholics regard this period strictly and with definite ritual. Lutherans. Episcopalians, and Moravians empaslze it in somewhat dif- erent ways. Methodists, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, and Northern Baptists, among other Protestant denominations, take serious note of the season with special services and offerings. But most Southern Baptists do not observe It. One way to learn more about this practice is to note the ancient Roman Catholic observance. Two weeks ago Catholics began Lent by attending church where a priest "imposed" a smudge of ashes on their foreheads, repeating the familiar words from Genesis. During the Lenton season, Roman Catholics restrict themselves to one full meal a day supplemented by two "snacks." This act of penance (which literally means "punishment") is intended to "satisfy" God's displeasure with sinfulness. Gentry Crisp Finds WCC Students Mature MR. GENTRY O. CRISP Coming to Western Carolina College from Canton, North Carolina, is Gentry O. Crisp, new professor of Reading and Speech in the English Department. A graduate of Mars Hill College and Furman University in Greenville, South Carolin Crisp received his Master's Degree at Northwestern University in Chicago. After finishing at Northwestern, he served one year as Head of the Speech Department at Taylor University not one beat occurred within a period of three to four minutes. And the actual strength of the beats that did occur was detectable only by the use of delicate instruments. One ascetic yogi is said to have been able to sweat at will. The temperature was quite cold, but by imagining that he was in a warm climate, the subject actually produced beads of sweat upon his body. "It's a result of physical action," said Dr. Wenger. "It's not mental at all." BELK'S DEPT. STORE "The Home of Better Values" "Entire line of popular priced Clothes for all College Students" JU 6-2015 Sylva, N. C. H. J. Landis, Manager in Upland, Indiana. From Upland, he proceeded in his teaching to the public schools in Flint, Michigan, only to return to the mountains of Western North Carolina and his alma mater, Mars Hill College. After teaching English and speech for four years at Mars Hill, Mr. Crisp came to Western Carolina this fall with his wife, Carlene, and two children, Carla, 6, and Johnathan, 10. Mr. Crisp stated that his main reason for coming to Western Carolina was Sam Ervin III Speaks At Delta Sigma Phi Banquet On Thursday, March 1, Mr Samuel J.

SAM ERVIN III STANDS WITH DR. REID AFTER the Engineered Leadership Banquet. The researcher wem on to say that the feats were accomplished through the yogi's tremendous muscular control and physical discipline. Dr. Wenger stated that he and one Dr. B. K. Bagchi from the University of Michigan Medical School worked together on these experiments and tests. During a five-month study in India they were able to find Yogis who permitted them to tape electrodes on their skin while they went into trance-like states. to enable his wife to continue her education; however, his family loves this area and would like to settle here. Outside activities of Mr. Crisp are centered around his interest in gardening. His ownership of a florist shop for eight years prior to his entering college is responsible for this great interest. He also enjoys musicals and dramas, but he says jokingly, "I have no intention of going on the stage." Long range plans of Mr. Crisp include the finding of a building site for the construction of a home here in Cullowhee. While making plans to gain his PhD. Degree, Mr. Crisp has aspirations of someday making a study of the western North Carolina pronunciations and dialects in order to see how great the carry-over is from Elizabethan English pronunciation, which was supposed to have been strong in the Appalachian Chain. An example of these pronunciations is the use of "holp" instead of "help." He would also like to make a survey to de- tremine the number of true ballads of historic origin which are still being sung in the mountains of western North Carolina. Commenting on the present generation of college students and those of Western Carolina College in particular, Mr. Crisp says that "in some ways they may be morally and spiritually decadent, but this is brought a- bout by the climatic times in which we live and also as a fault of the older generation in trying to replace love and affection with material things. "We can't pass the buck; we must accept some of the responsibility. The friendliness of the Western Carolina students is their most outstanding characteristic. They are also courteous and very co-operative. I find them to be ambitious and the topics chosen in my required reading and speech class reflect that they are serious minded, not flippant, and very mature." Looking into the future, Mr. Crisp states that he and his family likes it very much here and would like to stay indefinitely in the mountains of Cullowhee. fraternities today and what they can and should be. "The first emphasis," he asserted, "should be academic." Innumerating other goals he said that leadership is second in importance, then a sense of responsibility. Going further into the realm of academic achievement, Mr. Ervin supported any measure a fraternity might take towards its pledges or upon itself to im- president of Western Carolina College, Dr. Paul Reid. Dr. Reid rendered a lengthy introduction including "Mr. Ervin is one of the most if not the most faithful members of the Board of Trustees of this institution." In addition to numerous services to the state and community, Mr. Ervin is a lawyer. Originally he comes from Morganton, North Carolina.
