  • ^ WESTERN Carolinian The Voice of the Students VOLUME XXXI, NO. 24 FRIDAY, May 6, 1966 CULLOWHEE, N. C. Editors, Senators Are Elected '66 Spring Festival Will Begin Next Monday With Full Week Of Activities The week of May 9 through May 14 marks the inauguration of Spring Festival on the campus of Western Carolina College. The music of My Fair Lady, the Spring Musical which will run from May 9 through May 15, will set the keynote for the Festival's theme. According to Ginger Lathan, chairman for the event, a full schedule of activities has been planned. The Festival will get under way Monday evening, May 9, at 7:30 in Hoey Auditorium with the Spring Concert presented by the Western Carolina College Touring Choir. The choir's director is Mr. T. J. Cole. The concert will include a program of jazz and popular music with selections from My Fair Lady in a featured segment. Following this concert will be "Sing-Out '66," a group songfest, starting at 8:30 on Woodlawn Stage below Madison Dormitory. The "Sing-Out" will include a variety of entertainment ranging from folk and popular singing to musical satire. Various groups made up from campus organizations or sponsored by them will vie for the trophy to be awarded at the conclusion of the evening. A tentative roll of the organizations to be represented in the "Sing-Out" and a representative list of their offerings include Kappa Alpha with a folk song group featuring a rendition of the old sea ditty, "Salty Dog," Delta Sigma Phi, with a folk group presenting original compositions; and Sigma Kappa Sorority will perform two original jazz versions of popular tunes. Alpha Xi Delta will present a popular song group, and Tau Kappa Epsilon, two singers. Also included in the program will be Deta Zeta with a musical skit and the Women's Rerceation Association entry featuring the number, "Shake That Thing, Soldier Boy." Along with these will be Pi Kappa Phi's presentation of a musical satire entitled "My Fair Lady Bird." It is suggested that viewers bring blankets or other suitable ground cover for the outdoor show. At the finish of the competition there will be a sing-along for the audience to join in. In event of rain the "Sing-Out" will be held in Hoey Auditorium instead of on Woodland Stage. Continuing the schedule for Spring Festival will be, on Tuesday, May 10, the opening of My Fair Lady at the Little Theatre of Cullowhee. The play will run through Sunday afternoon, May 15, with curtain time for the evening performances at 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday's closing matinee will begin at 2 p.m. Also on Tuesday evening, a street dance will be held on Joyner Square sponsored by the College Center Board. The dance will feature the music of the Mark Four from Sylva. Wednesday, May 11, will see The Virginians, a popular and folk music group from the University of North Carolina appearing in Concert at 8 p.m. in Hoey Auditorium. The College Center Board is again the sponsor. Thursday will be quiet with the exception of the play that evening, but Friday, May 13, Maurice and the Zodiacs, nationally known and popular dance band, will furnish music for dancing in Breese Gymnasium beginning at 8 p.m., until 1 a.m. This is the same band that played successfully here during Homecoming this year. Either Wednesday or Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m., as weather permits, the Physical Education Department will hold its annual field day. Men's and women's athletic events will be held for the enjoyment and participation of all interested students. Saturday, May 14, will serve to cap off the week's activities. Starting at 9 a.m. on the intramural field behind Reid Gymnasium, Alpha Phi Omega will hold the Cullowhee Olympics. This will be a unique field day with the inclusion of such events —Continued on page 12 Men's House Elections Because the results of Tuesday's Men's House Government elections are being contested, the entire election will be held again next Tuesday, May 10, in the men's dormitories. All positions will be voted on and the candidates will not change unless someone officially withdraws. Only male dormitory students can vote. Candidates are: President, Phil Brown and Tom Posey; vice-president, Rick Goforth, Alvin Harvell, Kent Morris, and Kirby Toney; secretary, John Dalrymple and Steve Loflin; treasurer, Jim Beddingfield and Barry Johnson. Polls will be open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. The election will be held under the auspices of Men's House Government.

Hodge Is Center Board Pres., Taylor, Jackson Are Editors Nick Taylor, Carolinian editor A mild turnout for Tuesday's general campus elections at Western Carolina College produced what, for the most part, had been the expected results. The prodigious task of counting the multi-candidate ballots, however, kept some hopefuls in suspense until late Tuesday night. In the only -ontested editorial voting, Vicki Jackson won the Catamount editorship in a close victory over Danny Ball. Miss Jackson polled 455 votes to the 425 cast for Ball. Nick Taylor, who ran unopposed for the editorship of the Western Carolinian, was an expected winner in that category. Both Wayne Carver, lone candidate for business manager of the Catamount, and Ronnie Robbins, who ran unopposed for re-election as the Carolinian's business manager, were elected. On the same ballot, Tony Hodge, candidate for re-election as president of the College Center Board, won a comfortable victory over opposing candidate Ken Gibbsons. Hodge carried 542 votes, while the count for Gibbons was 355. Of the eight candidates for senior senatorial positions, Doug Maynard, Charlie Stephens, Rick Goforth, and John Woody were winners. Maynard and Stephens took the lion's share of votes, with 590 and 546 respectively; Goforth followed with 526 and Woody carried 475. Runner-up and thus alternate senator for the senior class was Shirley Moor- head, with 456 votes. In the donnybrook of junior senatorial elections, Roger Eul- iss, Dean Hines, and Van Johnson emerged victorious over seven other candidates. Euliss led the voting with 461 votes, while Hines polled 350 and Johnson 349. Dean McMahon's 298 votes entitled him to a seat Vicki Jackson, Catamount Editor Tony Hodge, CCB President as an alternate senator from the junior class. Carroll Sheppard and Scott Thompson led the voting in the six-candidate race for sophomore senator, Miss Sheppard with 379 votes and Thompson with 35S. Thelbert Dowdy followed with 323 votes and will be alternate senator from the sophomore class. After record voting in the recent presidential and vice-presidential elections, Tuesday's turnout was somewhat less than expected. Less than a third of the total student body cast ballots at the Stillwell polls. The Men's House Government elections, conducted at the several male dormitories on campus, were among the first returns to come in, but the results have been contested and a re-election will be held (see announcement elsewhere on this page). Results on the class officer elections, held Monday morning at class meetings, are printed on page 12 of this issue.
