  • Joyner Means Tradition Friday, May 8, 1964 Page 5 Films This Week By Charles Stephens Hail to thee, blest school of mine; Hail to all thy youth. Hail to all thine ivy vines; Hail to good and truth. Perhaps this view of college life seems a little archaic to us — the kind of thing we read about in Dad's otd annual. After all, when we think of college today (if we think of it) we think of ultra-modern buildings, dynamic new educational systems, and systems in general. Just what did happen to all the spirit and tradition that used to be the backbones of American colleges and universities? Most of our time today is taken up in class, or rather thinking about going to class. We are too busy with extra-curricular activities, love life, or other such past times to give much thought to the origin of our Alma Mater or the things which have helped make it what it is. Ivy-covered walls have become a thing of the past and indeed, have become extinct except for one remaining building. Most of us, at one time or another have enjoyed the conveniences which Joyner Building offers, but like most other things we simply take it for granted. Joyner Building, erected in 1913, was at one time the center of activity on camups. It has served as housing for the administration, classroom building, housing for the library, and various other things. Its history is long and colorful — full of the tradition which is associated with any college. It has served as center for social, educational, and administrative activities as well. Its ivy covered walls have 'State Fair1 Here Tues., 'Gypsy' In Gallery Thurs. AMONG THE ENTERTAINMENT WHICH JOYNER offers is the reading room. Here, students may stop to relax and enjoy their favorite magazine or study. Joyner also offers a television room, listening room, or game room for those who seek forms of entertainment. for years stood in Joyner Square, watching the college function around it. In years long past it has offered solace to students in the form of mail which was obtained from the Post Office, once located in its basement. It housed the student center where students sought rest and relaxation. Joyner's day of glory has passed, but it still stands, stalwart and neverend- ing in its service to the students. Professional Writing Courses Are Great Success At WCC by Gerald Holder One of most useful and successful yet, one of the least known majors at Western Carolina College is Professional Writing. Although there are not many people who major in Professional Writing, those who have completed this major have been very successful in the outside world. The fields open to an individual with this major are varied and numerous. Naturally, newspaper work is one of the more applicable professions for this major. At present, two WCC graduates who majored in Professional Writing are employed by the ASHEVILLE TIMES. Sue Ann Hampton is Woman's Editor for the TIMES, and David Howell is a sports reporter for the same newspaper. Gall Cassady, another graduate, Is a copy writer for radio station WISE in Asheville. Joe Liner is presently employed by the National Park Service at Shenandoah and writes brochures and phamphlets for that department. The United States Information Service em ployed Patty McNeill as a Congressional Liaison. Jim Cloninger, another PW major, is an insurance adjuster in Hickory, North Carolina. His training and experience in Professional Writing were easily applied to the insurance business. Owens- Illonois Glass Company recently hired Steve Teague whose job it is to visit all departments of the factory and then write up reports of his observations. Penny Waring, now Mrs. Penny Ledbetter, won first prize in a national creative writing contest and won a Honeymoon trip to Europe. Mrs. Ledbetter recently had an article published in SEVENTEEN MAGAZINE. It is evident, that a major in Professional Writing is one that can be applied to many occupations. Those people graduating from WCC with this major certainly stand as proof of this. These people are a credit to the institution and Mr. William Paulk, Assistant Professor of Professional Writing, is to be congratulated for a job well done. Progress will be progress and eventually, better location was provided for the offices Joyner had housed for so long. It suddenly found itself empty and deserted. But not for long! Space is valuable, and the qualities of Joyner were not easily forgotten. Time passed and suddenly Joyner found itself converted once again into the center of activity — to the students at least. It suddenly became the focal point for student publications, Greek activities, and social events. Youth and their activities flooded its offices and restored it to its place of glory. On Friday, May 8, 300 Spartans, starring Richard Egan and Diane Baker will be shown in Hoey Auditorium. The movie is I a tasteless attempt at filming the spectacle of the Battle of Thermopylae. The only bright spot in the feeble movie is Egan's performance, but he has little to work with in the script. The plot is hardly authentic, as far as the battle is concerned, and is an example of Hollywood at its worst. Show time is 7:30 p.m., and admission is 25c. STATE FAIR, showing Tuesday, May 12, in Hoey is a mixture of Pat Boone, Bobby Darin, and Ann Margaret. Miss Margaret is the object of Boone's affection (he does kiss her), and Darin falls for Boone's younger sister. The plot consists of the various trials and tribulations of falling in love, and catching the guy or girl in the mood to pop ic, the film would be a complete loss, and the music would be a loss without Ann Margaret. Show time is 7:30 p.m., and admission is 25c. Showing in the Gallery of Hunter Library on Thursday, May 14 is Gypsy, the rowdy story of a stripteaser and the hotel to hotel life she leads. Rosalind Russell stars as the brassy stage mother. Moviegoers who remember her as the fabulous "Auntie Mame" will not be disappointed by her performance in Gypsy. Natalie Wood seems to be a bit demure for the part of the long legged stripper that she becomes. She does have the long legs, however, as anyone can plainly see. Karl Maiden, as Mama Rose's patient suitor, turns in a fine performance and supplies the realism missing from the bulk of the show. His homely face offsets in some measure the too fresh paint on the theaters they play and the plushness of the Chinese restaurants where Mama munches her egg rolls. The musical goodies include "Small World" and Everything's Coming Up Roses," and the costumes are gorgeous. Show times for this musical treat are 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. and 1:00, 3:00, 7:00, and 9:00 p.m.—L.S. Joyner now houses the Student Center, Catamount, Western Carolinian, Student Senate, and other important offices. It provides a place for numerable social activities such as ping- pong, pool, chess, and checkers. It offers a reading room, a television room, and a listening room. Fraternities and Sororities have found housing within its walls, and, of course, there is a room reserved for paying those parking tickets. Joyner is for the students, and it serves them well. It is truly one of the few remaining land marks of the school, but it has ceased to grow old. Its purpose has remained the same over the years — that of serving the college and the students. THE TOWN HOUSE OPEN 7:30 A.M. — 11 P.M. Monday through Saturday Sunday - 1 P.M. -11 P.M. The word "tulip" derives from a Turkish word for turban. Early Turkish gardeners hybridized wild species. The spring flower was introduced to Holland, via Austria, in the latter part of the 16th century, the National Geographic says. Wesley Group Has Installation; Honors Mrs. Lane Wesley Foundation officers for the 1964-65 school year were installed at the evening meeting on May 3. The installation service was held in the Chapel of Wesley Foundation. The executive officers were installed by Rev. A. A. Ferguson and Bob Roger, immediate Past-President of Wesley Foundation. Mrs. Daniel Lane, who is known to Wesley Foundation members as Mom, was presented a necklace and ear-ring set and a cake by Sharron Henry. Mrs. Lane has been a hostess at Wesley Foundation for the past three years. Mrs. Lane was hostess at the Wesley Foundation of the University of Georgia at Athens before coming to the WCC campus. The evening program of Wesley Foundation for Sunday, May 10 will be the film "Born to Witness." Everyone is invited to attend. PROFESSIONAL DRUG STORE Nationally Advertised Drugs and Cosmetics Money,' money, money! There's never enough, is there? But clever collegians now cope with the High Cost of Living in a very pleasant way. They're becoming part- time (or summer-time) Tupperware dealers. Which means, they demonstrate these famous plastic food containers at home parties — and earn up to $50 a week, or more. Sounds like fun? It is. Ask your Financial Aid Director about it and call your local Tupperware distributor, listed in the Yellow Pages under Plastics or Housewares. Or send in this coupon... • Good Housekeeping • "TupperwarS Department C-4, Orlando, Florida I would like to talk to someone about becoming a part-time Tupperware dealer. TO*™' City .-
