  • CAROLINIAN EDITORIALS SEE THE SEASONS Now that the College Center Board has done its part in providing popular campus -wide entertainment for Western Carolina College, it is up to the students to do theirs. A group like the Four Seasons is far from cheap and the resources of the College Center Board are not unlimited, so just breaking even financially means that each student must pay a small admission fee. We feel that it's not much to ask that everybody pay a dollar for a ticket that would cost him as much as five dollars anywhere else. Or is it? The student body here has proven itself fantastically undependable when anything involving the expenditure of money comes along, and then fantastically hard to please when no entertainment is scheduled, free or otherwise. This time, as ever, we can only urge your support of the College Center Board—go see the Four Seasons tomorrow night. If enough students turn out, the possibility of more and better entertainment, perhaps including the Supremes during winter quarter, is greatly strengthened. Without your support, what's the use? A SOLUTION TO OUR PROBLEMS It is our pleasure to announce that a reasonable solution has been arrived at to the problem cited in last Thursday's editorial. It was brought to our attention Friday that Dean of Women Zeigler and Baxter Wood, director of the College Center and therefore Joyner Building, had been working on a plan whereby Joyner may be kept open till midnight on Monday and Wednesday nights. Since Joyner is, by definition, a "public building," this would eliminate the need for sponsors to remain as chaperones until an unreasonable hour. Conversation with Dean of Student Affairs Taylor L. Huskins yesterday confirmed this and he gave his approval to the plan. We feel that this measure, as approved and effected, provides at least a temporary solution to our problem, by the same token, we feel that it is by no means a total solution; we are being forced to accustom ourselves to the dark rather than light a candle, if such a comparison applies. We have at the moment a compromise measure, when what actually is needed is a total policy change, one which, to speak generally, emiminates the need to inconvenience others because of our own inconvenience. In other words, to permit us to be ultimately responsible for our own conduct. But a policy change takes time, so in the meantime, we shall gladly accept the compromise. VOTE THURSDAY Voting will be held Thursday for Freshmen, dormitory, and day student senators, so for the representation you need, VOTE! The referendum for Presidential and Vice-Presidential compensation, probably in the form of a scholarship, will also be held. The CAROLINIAN will go on record as strongly in favor of any movement to provide any sort of return for the long hours spent in pursuit of better student government, so if you will, please vote for this one. ^HE^ST^rTc7R^LR3lA?rirpublished semi-weekiy By the students of Western Carolina College, Cullowhee, N.

Chambers STUDENT GOVERNMENT Adlai Stevenson once said, •Tough change is inevitable, change for the better is a full- time job." Your student government at Western Carolina College does have a full-time job. This year, your student senate is thinking progress, believing in progress, and pushing for progress in all aspects of campus activities. However, there could not be a more accurate test of progress for this campus than the progress in cooper- By Barry Steagall ation. This is a must for your college. Please help us by cooperating with us on the many problems and different matters that arise on this campus. Concerning the parking problem on campus, there is a Health and Safety Committee meeting set for October 10, in which we should find a solution to this problem. Many of you have probably been given tickets, which you think are unfair, and unnecessary. If you feel that. The Last Refuge By Dan Dietz The hills are festering with the sound of mealy-mouthed kids i kids and I know I will retch if I hear "Do-Re-Mi" sung one more time. Oh, I know that disliking THE SOUND OF MUSIC is only a little less serious than deserting to,the Viet Cong, but the truth is that I was only slightly less bored with the film version of the Trapp family troubles than I was with the stage version which I saw some four or five years ago. The only reason I found the film a mite more tolerable than the play was because at least with the film I could lose myself in the stunr. j ingly handsome Austrian scenery and momentarily forget the nauseating nonsense in which the puppet-like characters are involved. Now, all I ask of a film is that it have a plot (any kind of a plot, sentimental like The Music Man, symbolic like The SEVENTH SEAL, searing like WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? ) which is treated with some pretence of intelligence and integrity. But the SOUND OF MUSIC doesn't even have a plot: it has instead a series of almost-but-not-quite situations which never jell or come to grips with themselves, situations which are never fully developed. For example, we are told that widowed Baron von Trapp (woodenly played by Christopher Plummer) is an embittered man, period. So what? Fo r we are never given a really intimate view of his character, we are never presented with a strong, sufficient reason to sympathize and empathize with him. Instead, the writer, director, and actor seem to have felt that merely by having the Baron knit his eyebrows together will Immediadely convey to us aloofness, alienation, strength, and secret sorrow. The. only impression conveyed to me was one of acute em barrassment on Mr. Plummer's part for being involved in such a film. Next we have Mr. Plummer, Julie Andrews, and Eleanor Parker going through the motions of a triangular love affair. Now maybe we'll have some fireworks, now maybe we'll have some show of honest e- motion. Alas, they sleepwalk through the entire affair and I wondered if they themselves knew what they were doing. Eventually, however, Miss Packer unctiously steps aside to let Miss Andrews have Mr. Plummer, and a potentially good dramatic situation is lost (If only the powers that put this film together had worried less about snowflakes on eyelashes and more about flesh and blood and honest feelings. If only. ..) And then there are all those kids. Everywhere you look they're there, singing •Do-Re- Mi," 'The Lonely Goatherd," and what seemed like a dozen other innocuously sweet songs which should never have been allowed to escape beyond the confines of the third-grade classroom. Indeed, the only admirable songs in the score, the wry, cynical "How Can Love Survive?" and the hard-boiled, realistic "No Way to Stop It," were deleted from the film and two new ones, an insipid ballad called "Something Good" and a cheery keep-that-upper-lip- stiff number called "I've Got Confidence in Me!" were substituted. n Jw,',i,l5,now fl"* THE SOUND OF MUSIC won a lot of Academy Awards, but then Academy Awards have never held much prestige with me. (Some of the most ineptly conceived films mm 6VfT Seen' such as BEN HUR and LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, were multi-Oscar awarded.) For THE SOUND OF MUSIC is soap-operetta aimed at ten- lit^^l? mentolity- Those who like it deserve it you are in the right, appeal it. I am sure that the Appeals Committee will be fair and considerate. I would like to say that Homecoming should be one of the biggest and best ever to take place at WCC. Its theme "Foundation of the Future—Loyalty; Service, and Dreams" giv-^s the clubs and organizations a wide variety of ideas to work with. The competition among the Greeks and different organizations should rate high, as they compete to win "The Best Homecoming Display Trophy" Already, plots have been taken and assigned to the various groups. However, if any club or organization plans to have a float in the parade, and has not contacted me, please notify me as soon as possible. May 1 remind you that the election for dormitory, day student and freshmen class senators, is this Thursday, October 6. PJease go to the polls and vote for the candidate that you feel will represent you best in the Senate. Filing dates for this election closed Friday at 5 P.M. After looking over the candidates that filed, I am confident that we will have student leaders who will be a tremendous asset to our government. FEEDBACK Dear Editor, Do WCC students have any pride in our school or do we have to make the other team seem small, in order to make our team seem big. Why don t our cheerleaders cheer what they know about how great our team is, if this is our opinion? Or is it our opinion? Or do we think the Catamounts aren't any good, but the other team is worse? Is there any great victory then after we win- if we beat a team that is not any good in the first place. Since I've been attending games at WCC, although it has only been this quarter, all I have heard is to beat the other team; I haven't really heard a word of pride or faith in the Catamounts, yet! Why not have cheers and songs showing pride for our team and appreciation for its efforts instead of having those giving criticism and disdain for its efforts. After all. i»n J that what's important—not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game? A disgusted Freshman, Terry Wolfe
