  • Friday, October 16, 1964 The Western Carolinian Page 3 Limelight By Thad C. Roberts Three cheers for NBC and the Hallmark Hall of Fame! Sunday night, October 18, at 10:00 PJVI., the Hallmark Hall of Fame will present its long- awaited adaptation of THE FANTASTICKS. Surprisingly, we are able to pick up an NBS network here in the Valley of the Lilies, so we shall be fortunate enough to tune in to Sunday's adaptation of this off-Broadway musical- comedy delight. THE FANTASTICKS opened May 3rd, 1960, at the Sullivan Street Playhouse in New York City, and has been playing ever since. The book and lyrics are by Tom Jones, it is directed by Word Baker, and the music is by Harvey Schmidt. Utilizing a small cast and a plain wooden platform with four poles, it attempts to create its own world by the use of music and words. When night is needed, a cardboard moon night be hung upon a pole, but for the most part, THE FANTASTICKS sets itself the task of creating a certain moonlight of the mind. The Hallmark adaptation is being cut down to sixty minutes, and from nine characters to five. It is being produced and directed by George Schaefer. The television play tells the simple story of a young boy, Matt (John Davidson), and a girl, Luisa (Susan Watson), who engage in a rosy illusion- filled romance despite the attempts of their "feuding" fathers (Bert Lahr and Stanley Holloway) to complicate matters. The story is tied together by the narrator, El Gallo (Richardo Montalban). One of the popular songs from the show is "Try to Remember," and two others, "Much More" and "Soon It's Gonna Rain" have become currently popular by being included in Barbra Streisand's first album. See THE FANTASTICKS on the Hallmark Hall of Fame Sunday night. It's too good to miss! You wonder how these things begin. Well, this begins with a glen; It begins with a season Which might as well call September. It begins with a forest where the woodchucks woo and leaves wax green and vines are twined like lovers. Try to see It—not with your eyes For they are wise But see it with your ears, The cool green breathing of the leaves, And hear it with the Inside of your hand, The soundless sound of shadows flicking life. Celebrate sensationl Recall that secret place— You've been there, you remember— That special place where once, just once, In your crowded sunlit lifetime; That spot beside the clover Where someone's hand held yjaur hand And love was sweeter than the berries, Or the honey, or the stinging taste of mint. It is September—before a rainfall— A perfect time to be in love. —THE FANTASTICKS At Random by Joan Burnett In some circles, the highest tribute which may be given a person is the comment, "Oh, he has quite an intellect." What more could one desire than to have the reputation of being intelligent? It has almost become a status symbol; so much, that many people seek the reputation without bothering to acquire the learning that goes with it. Such people are classified in campus slanguage as "pseudo- intellects" or "pseudos" for short. Perhaps the term derives its meaning from the fact that in some literary movements having a pseudonym is considered chic; therefore, in the realms of intelligencia (college?), giving the appearance of being learned without really knowing a great deal must be considered equally as chic. It's rather like the non-buffing floor wax which, without the physical exertion of buffing, offers "twice the shine in half the time. It is difficult to recognize the pseudo-intellect on sight. The female of the species may be just another Weejun-and- madras-clad coed or she may add distinction to her attire with a genuine goatskin poncho and really divine slush boots from the Antarctic. Her male counterpart may be "Joe College" or resemble dollar day at the local Army-Navy store. The natural habitat of this phenomena is always at the center of the group. He frequently bores many people in the point of intense dislike, but It's very enlightening to watch him bring about his own downfall. You may have to listen to limitless one-sided discussions of Eliot and Sartre, but the end result is worth it. The classic example is the Shelley Berman routine in which a pseudo mentions having read "Trees" by James Joyce. The classic answer? "James Joyce didn't write 'Trees'. 'Trees' was written by Joyce Kilmer." Have courage! Sooner or later your particular subject will make a perfectly serious comment like, "O yes, I met Goethe last summer when I was in Madrid for the Mardi Gras." The "pseudo" always knows a little about everything and a lot about nothing. He has a command of foreign phrases, not including Je ne sais pas, which he throws into every conversation. He carries a controversial book on his person at all times — not something like Fanny Hill, but rather None Dare Call It Treason, which is much more impressive. He is a special expert on the obscure, the occult, and the unknown. This allows him to talk freely to normal people, who have never heard of Madame Blavatsky, and not get caught if he makes a slight error. Getting to know a pseudo is indeed an experience to cherish. It is extremely enlightening to observe him in action and apply his technique to your own personality. So when someone tells you that yo;>'re out of your mind, actually it's a compliment — at le; t you have a mind to go out of. Serendipity By Gary Carden Dear Reader, I would like to take this opportunity to quote a few select gems of human interest from current events; inspiring details of "Americana" gleaned from current newspapers about people and places: WIDOW DROWNS AS PLEAS FOR HELP ARE IGNORED. Now, this is the heading of a recent newspaper article complete with pictures. The pictures show the drowned body being removed from the water while the curious crowd watches. Just plain folk. This incident occurred in Dayton, Ohio. According to the article, over a dozen people stood at the top of an embankment and watched a 52- year - old woman slowly drown. She was approximately fifteen feet from the bank on the top of a slowly sinking automobile. She asked for help repeatedly, saying that she could not swim. One witness with a flare for detailed description said that, after she went under for the last time, "she kicked around a little." Sensitive fellow. Oh, but that was just an isolated case," you say. Was it? Recently, a tourist drowned near Cherokee while some thirty people watched. Afterwards, some of the witnesses stated that people kept saying, "Do something! Somebody do something!" Nobody did. Several months ago, a woman was assaulted on a traffic island just outside Greensboro. An estimted two hundred cars went by. Some slowed down. Some stopped. Nobody interfered. In New York, a girl suffering from knife wounds staggered through a residential section begging for assistance. After some thirty minutes, her assailant, emboldened by the indifference of the by-stand- ers, returned and finished stabbing her to death. Afterwards, the police received over forty anonymous phone calls from eyewitnesses who offered descriptions of the murderer. When asked why they had not attempted to assist the girl, they said they "didn't want to get involved." The New York police have also complained about the people who gather to watch would-be suicides. The mob turns into a cheering section for the victim. They urge him to jump before the police get there with a net. In Atlanta recently, hundreds of college students jeered and cat-called at the efforts of firemen who were trying to extinguish a raging hotel lire. Just typical American young people, friends, demonstrating how to cope with the modern world. There is certainly plenty of evidence to justify the belief that such Incidents as these are increasing. The newspapers of the past six months would produce an impressive catalogue of events which reflect callous indifference to suffering disaster. Does anyone have an explanation? Oh, yes, they sure do! Modern psychology has a very neat explanation. It is the tension of our age. Yes! It is the NATURAL reaction to an UNNATURAL world. Now, ain't that a hootl But let us be fair. This clever solution deserves more expansion and clarification.

Since modern man cannot exist in a continual state of anxiety and tension, he is forced to become nonchalant about death. He must either become blase, or crack up. That is why he tells sick jokes. That is why he develops a detached curiosity about other people's disasters. That is why he watches people drown and wonders why somebody else doesn't do something. It Is like a neat little formula. Continual tension + man — callous indifference. As a result, we have a new standard of morality. The ideal man is the one who can achieve total detachment.
