  • THEWESIE OLUMAN VOL. XXX, NO. 8 Friday, October 30, 1964 CULLOWHEE, N. C. WCC Sends Students To Demo Rally More than 100 Western Carolina College students, including the Carolettes, the Majorettes, the Pep Band, and the Young Democrats, participated in the 11th Congressional District Rally held October 27 in Canton. The rally, featuring Sen. George Smathers of Florida as the principal speaker, was the last of a series of Democratic get-to-togethers held In each of the eleven congressional districts in North Carolina. The entire state Democratic ticket has been traveling from the coast to the mountains during the past two weeks In a final effort before the November 3 election. The WCC contingent with fours cars and a bus sponsored by the YDC traveled from Sylva to Canton with a caravan made up of representatives of the far Western counties of the state. After a barbecue dinner, the Carolettes and the Majorettes performed their dance routines for the more than 2,500 Democrats packed into the standing - room - only Canton Junior High School gymnasium. The two groups presented the same performances that they did when Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson were in Raleigh on their Southern campaign tour. The Pep Band played at various times throughout the evening, and the YDC members served as a cheering section. Rep. Roy Taylor of the 11th District introduced the distinguished guests including: gubernatorial nominee Dan K. Moore; North Carolina's two Senators, Sam Erwin, Jr., and B. Everett Jordan; Bob Scott, candidate for Lieutenant - Governor; Thad Eure, Secretary of State; Edwin Gill, state Treasurer; Charles Carrell, Commission of Education; Edwin Lanier, Commissioner of Insurance; and Melville Broughton, Chairman of the N. C. Democratic Party. The only member of the Council of State who was not present, Jim Graham, Commissioner of Agriculture, was represented by a tape recording of his famed donkey bray which has become a popular part of Democratic rallies throughout the state. Sen. Smathers was introduced by his colleague Sen. Ervin. In his address the Floridian, who has a number of family ties in the Western part of North Carolina, predicted that Barry Gold- water would carry "only six states." He did not name the states, but he added that this election could be compared to the 1936 defeat of Alf Landon by Franklin Roosevelt.

Huskins Clarifies Cosper's Statement A news article last week on the investigation of the Student- Faculty Judiciary Committee contained parts of an interview with Dean of Men, Cecil Cosper. At one point in th article Cosper is quoted as saying that Taylor L. Huskins, Dean of Student Affairs, had received an anonymous phone call, this being the reason for an "obervation' of the apartment mentioned. Huskins, however, stated early this week that the "tip" was not a phone call to him, but a verbal one given to Cosper. He said that upon receiving the information Cosper "invited me to drive out to the residence of the gentlemen." Huskins maintained that the visit was a social one. The sisters of Delta Zeta Sorority will sponsor an open combo party tomorrow night, October 31, following the game. The party, which will feature the Flares, will last from 10:00 p.m. until 1:00 a.m. Admission will be 50 cents.
