Week Of Entertainments Luboff On Tuesday 'Tartuffe' On Wednesday ©lit JUtsttrn Carolinian 'Voice of the Students" 'Carolinian' Protests Student Worker 'Loyalty Oath' See Editorial Page VOL. XXIX, NO. 6 Friday, October 25, 1963 Cullowhee, N. C. Little Theatre Tartuffe Is First Attraction Of Year Satiric French Comedy Opens October 30 For Four-Day Run Accreditation Team Visits, Gives Report The satirical religious comedy TARTUFFE, which was written by the French playwright Moli- ere around the middle of the seventeenth century, will open in the Li ear Wednesday, October 30, for a four-night run. This production of Tartuffe is to be directed by Miss Josefina Niggli, well-known theater- woman and novelist who has directed numerous other plays on the stage of the Little Theater. The cast is made up of students of the college, many of whom have appeared in previous productions of the Little Theater. The role of Tartuffe is to be played by Bill Shawn Smith. Other members of the cast are Sandi Allen, Cathie Sandstrom, T. C. Roberts, David Hirt, Linda Timber, Bill Smathers, Bonnie Wright, Allen Goodlett, Wayne Vogler, and Tom Smith. TARTUFFE was first performed before Louis XIV at Versailles, France, in 1964. After It was first presented, it was banned in France for several years, for the king forbade future performances of the play in order to appease clerical circles. However, he lifted the ban five years later, for he had enjoyed the play, and it was once performed in public. All the actors wore masks in this play about hypocrisy and when they spoke the truth they lifted their masks and spoke to the audience. Since that time, TARTUFFE has been played constantly on the continent, though seldom in England. Students of the college will be admitted free to the play, and admission for adults and faculty members is $1.00 per person. Curtain time is 8:00 p.m. The "Tartuffe" of the play, Bill Shawn Smith, describes the play thusly: 'The play offers a light course in how to make love to your best friend's wife, which just proves the point that we're not so modern after all." Norman Luboff Choir Will Sing Here Tuesday Committee Gives Appropriations For This Year The Appropriations Committee met October 7, 1963 to determine the amount to be appropriated to each campus oragnization for the 1068-64 academic year.

I am certain that the recipients of these funds will use them in an effective and fitting manner," stated Jolly. Below is listed the student fees and the appropriations designated by the committee: 1963-64 STUDENT FEES Total Estimated Collections LINDA TIMBER, TOM SMITH, and CATHY SANDSTROM rehearse for TARTUFFE.

Marines To Send Selection Team Here Next Week The U.S. Marine Corps Officer Selection Team is scheduled to visit Western Carolina on October 29th through 31st. The purpose of the visit is to explain to interested students the various Marine officer programs available to college undergraduates. The program of interest to most qualified students is the platoon leaders class. Through this program a freshman, sophomore, or junior can fulfill his requirements for a commission prior to graduation and can be commissioned on the day he graduates from college. This is accomplished with no training, classes, or drills whatsoever during the school year. Additionally, the candidate is draft deferred and earns longevity for pay purposes which totals, in the case of a freshman, for example, over $5,000 additional pay over a period of three years active duty. Qualified applicants may choose either aviation or ground training. Specific details concerning the program may be obtained through an interview with the Officer Selective Team in the Stillwell Building between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on the dates indicated above.

The first meeting of the visiting committee took place at the Jarret House at 5:00 Sunday afternoon. The visitors, President Reid, and the Steering Committee also met jointly in the conference room of Bird Administration Building at 7:30 Sunday evening. At the meeting, President Reid welcomed the visitors. Dean Walter L. Smith of Winthrop College, chairman of the visiting team, outlined the plans for the inspection. On Monday morning the visiting team settled down to their task of interviewing, studying, and viewing the school. They talked with President Reid, Dean A. K. Hinds, Mr. W. B. Harrill, Dr. W. N. Turner, Dr. C. D. Killian, and many other administrators and professors. ay they pursued essentially the same course, and included Student Body President Conway Jolly and oher students in their discussions. Tuesday night, the visitors made their preliminary reports summarizing their "Com> mendations concerning the school. These reports were presented by the visitors to President Reid, Dean Hinds, and Dr. D. C. Sossomon, director of the Steering Committee, on Wednesday. The committee was very much impressed with the high morale among both faculty and students and with the fact that they both seem to have a real identity with the purpose of the college, reports Mrs. Lillian Hirt, publicity director of the college. They found it unusual to see this extent of community spirit on a campus, she said. The committee said that the report by WCCs self-study Steering Committee reflects the fact that our personnel are rather thoroughly involved in the self-study and said that this is one of the main purposes of a self-study: to involve the personnel in taking a good look at their own operations. Widely Renowned Vocal Group Is Currently Touring Country NORMAN LUBOFF CHOIR will appear at WCC October 29. Job Interviews Are Scheduled By Business Placement Office Norman Luboff and the Norman Luboff Choir will appear at Reid Gymnasium on October 29 under the auspices of the Lyceum Committee; Although Mr. Luboff and his Choir are well known to music lovers throughout the world, the Fall of 1963 marks their first "live" tour. The popularity of this conductor-arranger and his group is based primarily on the many recordings, on both RCA-Victor and Columbia labels, for which the group was originally created. The nucleus of the recording Choir consists of 25 to 30 virtuoso professional singers with a repertoire ranging from Bach to Blues. All of the Choir's more than twenty albums have been best sellers. The Business and Industrial Placement office has released the following schedule of interviews to be held in the coming Morgan Article To Be Published A literary article by Mr. Henry G. Morgan of the Eng lish staff at Western Carolina College has recently been ac cepted for publication by The Southern Quarterly, a maga zine published by the University of Mississippi, which con sists of research in the hu- mantities. Morgan's article, en. titled "The Role of Morgan le Fay in Malory's Morte Dar- thur," will appear in the winter issue of this quarterly to be published in January. 1964. According to Morgan, "The article attempts to present evidence that Malory intended his Morte Darthur to be a unified and complete work rather than a series of eight separate romances, and the method of collecting this evidence is that of a comparison of the Morte Darthur with its English and French sources."

These medals are to be presented annually to the boy and girl making the most outstanding record in French 051 and 052.

Luboff's background and experience represent a solid foundation for his accomplishments. He studied piano and voice as a boy, and after attending the University of Chicago and Central College, he enrolled for graduate study in orchestration and composition under the composer Leo Sowerby. Luboff's professional career can be divided into three categories: teaching of theory; making commercial arrangements and orchestrations; and employ ing his trained baritone voice as a "pops" singer. During this time he appeared regularly on Chicago radio programs, in local res, and on recordings. In 1945 Luboff gave up singing entirely and worked exclusively on arrangements. For the next seven years Luboff composed and arranged music for more than 80 moving pictures, including "Giant," "Cinerama South Seas," "Island in the Sun," "Search for Paradise," and "The Miracle." In addition, Luboff arrangements have been heard on such television programs as The Telephone Hour, The Dinah Shore Show, The Ford Star Jubilee, and The Jerry Lewis Show. Other of his arrangements have been created for artists and music directors, including Jo Stafford, Frankie Laine, Doris Day, Harry Belafonte, Rosemary Clooney, Guy Mitchell, Johnny Ray, Vic Damone, Paul Weston, and Percy Faith. Last year Luboff wrote his first show, a fantasy about Robert Burns, entitled "Highland Fling." In the next few seasons, the Norman Luboff Touring Choir will travel to every state in the Union and most of the Provinces of Canada.
