Montgomery of the Social Science Department and Mr. Kenneth C. Young of the Business Department will attend the Annual meeting of the North Carolina Conference of the American Association of University Professors at North Carolina College in Durham on March 7. The main issue of the meeting will be a panel discussion on "The Speaker Ban Law in North Carolina." J. Francis Paschal of Duke University will be chairman of the panel discussion, which will include addresses by Daniel H. Pollilt of the University of North Carolina on "Legality of the Law;" John Graham of UNC, "Impact of the Law on University Activities;" Abraham Holtzman of NC State, UNC, Raleigh, "Analysis of Gubernatorial Candidate Responses to the Issue;" and Howard G. Miller, also of NC State, "The Responsibility of the Academic Profession." Montgomery, who Is Secretary-Treasurer of the WCC chapter of AAUP, and Young, who is Chairman of Committee A, recently attended the Southeastern Regional Conference meeting of the AAUP In Atlanta, Georgia. Montgomery commented, "I was interested to learn the role of the faculty plays in the selection of certain key officials of Emory University, which was the first topic covered by Mr. Henry T. Bowden, a member of the Board of Trustees of Emory University." Montgomery also stated that Bowden explained the difficulties Emory has had in obtaining qualified Negro students, a difficulty arising from the fact that Emory has not had experience in evaluating Negro high schools, an important part of the admission stand- dards at Emory. The meeting at Durham will also include the regular business meeting of the NC Conference of AAUP. In addition to assigned delegates, all individual members of the AAUP are invited to attend the meeting. Arrangements for reservations may be made by contacting Montgomery in his office, Stillwell 170. JOSEFINA NIGGLI, Author of New Novel. 2 Staff Members Resign For the remainder of the year the Western Carolinian will be without the services of Senior staff members John Thomas and Robbyn Morrow. Thomas will do his practice teaching Spring Quarter, while Miss Morrow, having completed her gradu- tion requirements, will spend some time at her home in Bryson City. Local Club Has Affiliated With International French Group The French Club at WCC has affiliated with the Federation of French Alliances, an international organization with headquarter for the United States located in New York City. The purpose of the organization is to bring together French- speaking peoples and persons interested in spreading the French culture and language throughout the world. The alliance offers several benefits to its member oragniza- tions. These benefits vary from Freshmen Sponsor Dance In Cafeteria Last Friday night a dance was sponsored by the Freshman class using the theme "Hearts and Flowers." The semi-formal dance featured The "Sting Rays" from Charlotte. The dance was held in Brown Cafeteria from 8:00 until 12:00. Judy Carswell and Diane Put- man were in charge of the refreshment and decorating committees. Working with them were Barbara Beck, Freida Burton, Carla Warner, and Linda Calhoun. Charlie Stephens and Kathy Abbott served on the publicity committee. providing films and lecturers for member clubs to sponsoring seminars for teachers of French and scholarships for students who wish to study French a- broad. The WCC French Club, in conjunction with the Federation, is planning to bring a native of France to the campus later in the year to lecture to the Club and to all persons, who are interested. The Federation was founded in 1883 and today boasts over 1000 branches outside France. On Thursday, March 19, the Gaslight Singers will appear in Reid Gymnasium at 8:00 P.M. This folk singing group will replace the Chad Mitchell Trio which was to appear on February 17 but had to cancel due to illness. The Gaslight Singers are a young folk singing group who are currently gaining in popularity among college students. Their appearances as part of television's Hootenanny Show at Duke University of North Carolina were so successful that interest was expressed in bringing them back for their full two hour presentation that same season. This presentation will be in addition to the regular Spring Lyceum. A fascinating and little- known period of history comes alive in A MIRACLE FOR MEXICO, a novel for young people 10 to 16, to be published April 21. It is the first novel in many years from Josefina Niggli, who is the author of the now classic MEXICAN VILLAGE as well as numerous poems and plays. Miss Niggli's own Mexican background has given her insight into the moving story of the Brown Virgin of Guadalupe, whose appearance before the humble Indian Juan Diego ten years after the Spanish Conquest set the stage for a series of events which culminated four hundred years later in the Great Revolution out of which the Mexican Republic was born. The story of A MIRACLE FOR MEXICO is based on fact and most of the leading characters are historical. In writing her story, Miss Niggli has steeped herself in the history and poetry of the pen.xi and has used this 7 Accepted In Honor Frat. Seven students were initiated into Alpha Phi Sigma National Honorary Scholastic Fraternity last night in Reynolds Parlor. Those initiated included Irene Hinds, Linda Hipps, Carla Janto, Linda Jones, James Robertson, Betty Sue Williamson, and Lou Ann Wilson. Following the initiation ceremony, Mary Louise Cranford, President of WCCs Zeta chapter of Alpha Phi Sigma, welcomed and recognized the new members and guests. Miss Helen Hartshorn, chapter sponsor, introduced the guest speaker Dr. J. C. Eller, a member of the Biology Department. Alpha Phi Sigma is an honorary Fraternity whose purposes include the recognition of outstanding scholarship a- mong the students and the encouragement of scholastic achievement on the campus. To be eligible for membership a student must achieve a 3.25 quality point ratio on 90 quarter hours of work completed at WCC. Guests of the chapter for the initiation included Mr. and Mrs. Julian Hirt, Dr. and Mrs. Eller, and Miss Alice Benton. The sublime and the ridiculous are often so nearly related that it is difficult to class them separately.—Thomas Paine rich factual material as a base on which to build an adventurous and imaginative plot. This, combined with her outstanding narrative ability and her deep feeling for her Mexican heritage, has resulted in a true re-creation of an exciting, violent world. Enhancing the story are the beautiful decoraions of Alejandro Rangel Hidalgo, one of Mexico's leading contemporary artists. These portraits of Spanish, Indian and Mestizo children, dressed in authentic, exquisitely detailed costumes and surrounded by artifacts of the period, along with the end papers, which portray the Brown Virgin attended by angels, transform the book Itself into a work of art. The pictures — seven in all — are actually full-color paintings. The reproductions, printed in Switzerland, are also available as separate prints and are of the same high standard as New York Graphic Society's other fine art reproduction. (From the New York Graphic Society) Miss Niggli, Director of the Cullowhee Little Theatre and Associate Professor of English at WCC, received her M. A. in Drama at the University of North Carolina. She has had extensive directing experience, including work at The Abbey Theatre in Dublin, Ireland, and the Old Vic School in England. Her first novel, Step Down, Elder Brother, was a Book of the Month Club selection in the U.S. and Enlgand. One of her plays, The Red Velvet Goat, was played somewhere in London every night of the blitz during World War II. Mexican Village, the only book of fiction to receive the Mayflower Cup for Best Book since the beginning of the award, was made into a movie in 1953. The film, Sombrero, starred Ava Gardner, William Holden, Ricardo Mont- alban, and Shelley Winters. This coming Sunday Miss Niggli will leave for New York where she will stay until April 2, attending the American Mime Theatre. This theatre will be based on classical mime but will entail experience with mime in the American Spirit. Mime, the performing of parts by mimic gestures and actions, is comparatively new in the United States. On April 2, Miss Niggli will go to England to do research for a new text on period styles in acting, a subject which has never been written on in the U.S. Her work in this field is being done for the Holt, Rinehart Publishing Company. • Returning to Cullowhee in time for the first Summer Session, Miss Niggli will conduct a special program in drama. This course may be taken separately or in conjunction with Mr. William Paulk's course in Professional Writing.
