Continued from page 2 such freedom." Mr. Henry Morgan, professor in the English Department, had this to say, "I feel that I am speaking for every political science student as well as many of the other students who have taken one of his courses when I say ed that Ross Clark will be one of the most missed of all the people who leave us. We sincerely hope that Mr. Clark is effectively replaced as a professor but it will be impossible to replace him as a friend to those of us who were lucky enough to really have a chance to know him. He is truly something more than an associate professor of political science. His stay at Western Carolina has been an era which is not likely to be repeated." STOVALL'S 5-10-25*! STORE Next to First Union Bank Early Stock of Mother's Day Cards WE GIVE S&H GREEN STAMPS The "Sweet Betsy From Pike" type of folk music died long | ago. Now the flashy Hootenany is gone from college auditori- | urns, from movies and TV. The "no talent" fake folk have withered away. The exploiters have pitched their tents and moved on, looking for that Hoola Hoop in the Sky. But, the Folk Scene lives. The established high quality folk acts are prospering as never before. Despite the successful invasion of America's college campuses by swinging redcoats such as the Beatles, the Dave Clark Five, Manfred, and the Animals, folk music continues to flourish, both on recordings and in live performance. First a phenomenon, then a fad, the folk field has now earned a permanent share in the nation's market for popular music. The New Chrisy Minstrels have become TV and movie stars, while maintaing their status as the "numero uno" of a big folk groups so far as album sals are concerned. Those great, hoary old pioneers, — they started the whole thing, The Kingston Trio, have signed a new million dollar recording contract. Peter, Paul, & Mary have a new hit single soaring up the charts in "For Lovin' Me." The Clad Mitchell Trio, The Smothers Brother, and Baez are perenially represented on the lists of best-selling recordings., One of the major indications of the continued vitality and growth in the folk field is the emergence and development of major new acts. During the past year, the Serendipity Singers whooshed off the launching pad at The Bitter End with a resounding hit, "The Crooked Man," and have established themselves as major contenders for big folk group honors. Gale Garnett's "We'll Sing In The Sunshine" has proved that a folk gal can make hit single records as well as albums. The Newport Folk Festival is providing folk talent with the limelight, the central showcase that has been of such help in establishing jazz luminaries. The strong, simple, highly singable nature of folk melodies is one of the most basic reasons that folk has claimed and held the attention of a bourgeoning audience group. This music that makes it easy for the listener to become a participant in the whole happy business of singing for fun. Another prime factor is that much of the content of folk recordings is topical, — that is, the songs are concerned with the "here and now" rather than with the "was and will be." Young people of today have a vital, and strongly focused interest in the problems that their generation is being called upon to solve: civil rights, suburban sprawl, over-population, the Bomb, a new sexual morality, etc. Folk songs such as Seeger's "Who Killed Norma Jean," Phil Ochs' "What Are You Fighting For," and Paul Simon's "He Was My Brother" at least WANTED TO RENT Reasonable housing for two adults and three pre-school dren June 13-August 20.

This topical quality has attracted the thousands of American Youth who make up "the committed generation" of the Sixties. Certainly the impact of these songs has been heightened by the willingness of folksters to back up the convictions of their verses with action and involvement. Angeline Butler of The Pilgrims has spent more than 100 days in jail for civil rights activities in the Deep South. California-based folk artists gave the strong support to the recent "free speech" student strike at UCLA. Fittingly enough, folksongs were a key element in maintaining the morale and resolve of students participating in the demonstrations. In Meridian, Mississippi, Pete Seeger was singing Fred Hellerman's inspiring "Healing River" in a Negro church when the word came that the three slain freedom workers had been found. Like their folk heroes and heroines, the youth of today are active, alert people. They are not content with the spectator's role, especially so far as music is concerned. Not since the piano craze of thte 30's ("They laughed when I sat down at the keyboard."), have so many young people been personally involved in the instrumental performance —Continued on page 8 What??
