  • The Western Carolinian VOICE OF THE STUDENTS VOL. XXXII, NO. 25 THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1970 WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY CULLOWHEE,N.C. Beethoven festival to end Thursday CHRISTMAS TRADITION, 16TH CENTURY ENGLISH-STYLE, Included a hearty toast from toe wassaU bowl and 16 Madrigals (slightly modernized) brought toe first Christmas cheer into Cullowhee this week. The singers pictured above led 600 students, faculty, administrators and visitors through toe First Annual Madrigal Christmas Dinner. Hansen's lecture stirs audience, controversy results with questions Kick Hansen, toe man who said he knew every drugpusher on WCU's campus, caused quite a controversy Tuedsay night in the auditorium of toe business buUding. Hansen spoke during a drug symposium sponsored by toe Interfraternity CouncU. Hansen, a reformed drug addict and pusher, spoke, saying, "I'll do anything I can to show people how down on drugs I really am." After speaking for approximately 20 minutes, Hansen opened the floor for questions. WCU extension classes held in North Africa Western Carolina University's most distant extension classes are being conducted in North Africa. Dr. Paul Flynn, associate professor, is conducting the classes as part of a cooperative project involving Western Carolina University, toe U.S. Department of State, and toe American-sponsored overseas schools in Morocco, Libya, Tunisia, and Algiers. Although Dr. Flynn traveUed several thousand mUes from Cullowhee to conduct toe classes, among toe first students enrolled in Tangiers was Roy P. Lathrop, of AshevUle. The program provided regular university credit courses for teachers, administrators, and staff members of toe schools. The cooperative project was born last year when Western Carolina was invited by toe Department of State to provide educational assistance to toe overseas schools. Two WCU professors. Dr. Burton Fox, coordinator of international education, and Dr. Ray B. Sizemore, professor of education, conducted feasibility studies that led to tne estao- llshment of cooperative curriculum programs among toe schools of toe Maghreb area of North Africa. This year, Dr. Flynn is teaching and conducting workshops, short courses, and providing consultative services in preparation for a Maghreb regional conference that wUl plan further cooperative activities among the schools and with WCU. Both Dr. Fox and Dr. Flynn are expected to attend the conference. Dr. Flynn wUl discuss with the North African school lead ers an evaluation of toe work of WCU with schools in toe area and projected plans for toe future. Dr. Taft B. Botner, dean of the School of Education and Psychology, believes that toe extension program with toe North African schools will lead to the establishment of WCU as the states-side service institution for toe overseas schools. Western Carolina, he says, may serve as a center for keeping toe schools up-to- date on current materials, innovations, and curriculums being developed In this country. Further, WCU may serve as a recruitment base for teachers interested in work overseas, and as a reorientation and placement center for overseas teachers returning to the United States. The university has submitted a proposal to toe U.S. Office of Education for an institute on international education to be held for schools In Morocco and Algeria. Under this proposal, the university would taKe a group of seventh grade teachers who teach social studies, together with some elementary school supervisors, for a five weeks' on-site institute in North Africa. The university would take both students and staff overseas, using consultants from toe North Africa area. Experts in the fields of social science, language, culture, and curriculum would serve as a team of instructors for the institute. The North Africa institute for seventh grade social science teachers would by especially appropriate, Dr. Botner commented. He made two requests before doing so. The first was that toe questions be clean, toe second, that no one try to argue with him. "I'm not here to argue," he said. "I'll try to answer your questions as best I can but If this turns into a has- sel, I'U close it down." Hansen, among other things, was questioned about drug terminology, why he was doing what he was doing, and his personal beliefs. Hansen told toeassemblythat his organization, which worked out of Greensboro, based their reform operations on trust in Jesus Christ. When asked If he wasn't using Christ as a crutch, as once he used drugs, Hansen shot back, "If Christ is a crutch, give me two." The controversy rose to almost persecution of Hansen when he refused to admit that there was anything good in drugs. The question and answer period was almost like a battle of wits, with Hansen scoring points at times, and questioners scoring at other times. The audience asked leading questions to Hansen, seemingly trying to trip him up and expose a flaw in his story. Many seemed as if they did not believe his story and afterwards stated that he was not what he said he was. Peyton Harris, president of toe Interfraternity CouncU said, "I thought toe talk was very informative, and I think most of toe people who heard it agree that it was very informative." Last chance for photographs Retakes for toe CATAMOUNT wiU be on Friday, December 4, in toe Cherokee Room from 9:00 a. m. untU 4:00 p.m. This wUl be toe last chance for students to have their pictures taken for toe annual. Proofs from the first shooting of photographs may be selected on Friday in the Cherokee Room and on Monday and Tuesday, December 7 and 8, from U:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The month-long Beethoven festival at Western Carolina University wUl come to an end Thursday, Dec. 3, with a recital appearance by toe internationally acclaimed pianist Paul Badura-Skoda. The program, to be held in Hoey Auditorium here at 8:15 p.m., includes Beethoven sonatas Op. 10, no. 1; Op. 27, no. 1; Op. 57; and Op. 109. Paul Badura-Skoda has been called toe world's most versatile pianist. Born in Vienna in 1927, he began to study piano at the age of six. In 1949 he was discovered by Furtwan- gler and von Karajan, and was invited to appear as a soloist in their concerts. Since then his fame has spread rapidly. Badura-Skoda's first American tour was in 1952. He has played widely In Europe, central and South America, and Asia. HaUed as one of the greatest Interpreters of M o z a rt, Badura-Skoda is equally at home with Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, Hinde- mito; and Bartok. He is not content to be just a concert pianist, but is a composer, conductor, and musicologist as weU. Many of his numerous recordings were played on historical pianos, which he collects as a hobby. Perhaps the best explanation of his artistry may be found In toe observation of one critic who said, "Badura-Skoda gives the Impression—rare with .musicians—of loving music with his every fibre." Davis says lock your doors Doug Davis , Dean of Men, urges aU dormitory students to lock their doors before leaving for toe holiday and not to leave valuable items easUy accessible. According to Davis, most items (such as typewriters , tape players, and radios which are easily disposed of and usually untraceable) are stolen on campus just prior to vacation breaks. At such a time, toe thief can just "pack toe things into his ear and head home with them." When toe residence halls are officially closed at 2 o'clock on Friday, December U. dorm directors and toe custodial staffs wUl double check outside windows and doors to assure that they are locked. There will also be the usual security patrol over the holidays. According to Prltchard Smith, toe camous will be patrolled twenty-four hours a day, every day. Pritchard also adds that since most stealing outside of toe dormitories is directed toward things found In automobUes, especially cartridge tape players and tapes, he does not anticipate much vandalism daring academic breaks. The recital is open to WCU students free, and to toe public at a nominal charge. Seats wUl not be reserved, and tickets may be purchased at toe door ets may be purchased at the door. Huskins is Region 2 chairman SGA President David Huskins has been elected Region 2 Chairman for toe Association of Student Governments. The action took place at toe Association's seventh national convention held last week In Las Vegas, Nevada. David Harling, President of Men's House and Greg Lockamy .Presidential Assistant, were toe other two WCU delegates to toe convention. Huskins stated that his new position also entitles him to a place on toe executive board, the ruling body of ASG. His election also means that WCU is now a regional office, toe channel through which communications between Region 2 institutions and toe national organization in Washington, D.C. wiU be routed. One of Huskins' initial dur- ies will be to appoint a state chairman for each state in this region; plans also include the inauguration of a regional newsletter to be compUedatand distributed from WCU, plus preparations for a regional conference to be held at WCU this school year. Region 2 is in elusive of member institutions in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland. Washington, D.C, Virginia, West Virginia, and N. C. There are nine regions In toe national framework of ASG. Huskins appoints Jefferies as advisor Shadrack Jefferies, recently elected president of Moore Residence HaU, has been appointed freshman advisor to toe president of toe SGA. David Huskins, president of SGA who made toe appointment, said, "Mr. Jefferies wUl be a liaison officer, of sorts; I expect him to keep me constantly informed of toe moods and aspirations of toe Freshman class."
