Theatre Board Is Revived The Little Theatre of Cullowhee's Board of Directors was recently revived, members e- lected and a constitution submitted to the Student Senate for approval,, According to Betty Cooper, current chairman of the board, there had been a board of directors for several years prior to this year. It was dissolved last year under the chairmanship of Bill Smathers, The Little Theatre "family* elects board members, who in turn elect the chairman. The "family* consists of anyone who is significantly involved in the Little Theatre, and is not restricted to dramatic arts majors. The current board of direc- tors consists of two faculty members and three student members. Betty Coop er was elected chairman and Steve Guimond elected secretary. Members remain on the board of directors until they leave the college or graduate. When a member does leave, the Theatre "family* elects a new member. The board has final authority over matters affecting the entire theatre. It is responsible for the selection of the dates for major productions and the selection of the directors. The board also decides if social functions affecting the entire theatre will be held, It may also intercede in personal disputes if the welfare of the theatre "family* is involved. Student Aids Meeting Scheduled A meeting of all students who anticipate financial need for summer school and/or the 1967- 68 academic year will be held in Hoey Auditorium, Wednesday, 7:30 p.m., February 15th. All students who plan to apply for financial aid should be present. Aid applications will be distributed and the procedure for applying will be explained.

WCC Budget Requests Eyed As Legislature Convenes By TOM DILLARD The North Carolina General Assembly convened yesterday in Raleigh ready for a long and grueling session. Among the business confronting the 170 legislators in the coming months are two major financial requests from Western Carolina College. The WCC "B* Budget is the backbone of one of these requests. The other request is the capital improvements plan which is seeking $10,000,000 for new construction and other improvements in the physical plant The "B* Budget is composed of 12 priority areas, ranging from faculty salary improvement to general institutional expenses. The "B* Budget asks for funds to fulfill twelve academic or administrative needs of the college during the two year period, 1967-1969. WCC is seeking $1,275,208 for 1967- 68 and $1,357,889 for 1968- 69, in the "B* Budget which lists the increases over the WCC "A" Budget The "A" Budget fills most of the basic needs of the college. The twelve priority areas meet the demands of a rapidly expanding college and growing student population which will need everyone of them to function as an academic body. The priority asking the largest request is number seven, Instruction and Departmental Research. Priority number seven is a request for $677,995 and $547,631 for an academic reorganization which will create certain schools, each of which will have several departments. Such a move would be a giant step toward university status. Priority seven funds will also be used to permit reduction of the student-faculty ratio from 16.6 to 1 to 15 to 1; creation of a communications center in Department of Education and Psychology; to equip laboratories in the science, Industrial Arts and Business Departments; for faculty research; to establish program of Library Science; and the establishment of a four year program in nursing. The funds will also be used for the creation of a curriculum library for the Education Department, the purchase of e- quipment and supplies for new and renovated classroom buildings, and the creation of several steno positions. Perhaps, the most important priority areas are numbers one and two. Priority number one is asking $169,069 and $381,840 in faculty improvement funds. Citing that "Our young people are deserving of the very best among the available professors," priority one would supply a seven and one-half per cent salary increase each year for present and new professional positions. Priority two asks $170,770 and $145,912 to increase library holdings. According to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, WCC's "book collection is not strong enough to support more than a modest program of undergraduate instruction in the liberal arts CONTINUED page 8 ......... Concert Set For 8 p.m. In Reid Gymnasium Tonight in Reid Gymnasium the Kingston Trio will give a concert sponsored by the Lyceum Committee and the Student Senate, The cost is $1 per person. This well-known folk-singing group had its beginning in a small Stanford University hangout ten years ago. Their music comes from guitars, a banjo, sometimes bongos, other folk instruments, and their voices. They sing songs from everywhere, but they concentrate on Mexican and American folk songs. "Standing-room-only" crowds at such places as the Hollywood Bown, the Waikiki Shell, the hungry i, the Newport Festival, and others saw the Trio perform. The Far East, Europe, and Australia were toured by the three, and they rank among the top record sellers of all time. The three men who are credited with having started the folk music craze of recent years are John Stewart, 27; Bob Shane, 33; and Nick Reynolds 33. Stewart, who replaced a former member in 1961, is married and has two sons. Shane is married and has two daughters, and Reynolds and his wife have one son. Frank Werber, the manager of the Kingston Trio, first spotted the three at the Stanford hangout and is still with them. Judy Davis of Oakland, California is the group's vocal coach. The Trio owns a night club, a recording studio, and other business holdings. They plan to escalate to television production and participation in motion pictures if all goes well. Since 1958 there have been 8 of the 21 Kingston Trio albums to become hits. They have also had many hit singles and successful personal appearances. Some of the hit singles made by the Trio were "Tom Dooley, their first, "Tijuana Jail," "M.T.A.," "The Everglades," "One More Town," "Greenback Dollar," "Reverend Mr. Black," and "Desert Pete." These songs and many others are included on the Kingston Trio albums that have helped them modernize, commercialize, and popularize folk singing. The concert here is the,first on the WCC campus by the Trio. A capacity crowd is expected for the 8-10:30 p.m. performance. Dean Hines, junior senator, made the arrangements for the Trio's visit here. Dr. Taylor, Professor- Emeritus Of History, Completes New Book Dr, Rosser Howard Taylor, Professor-Emeritus here at WCC, recently completed his new book, "Carolina Crossroads," now on sale. In the book, Dr. Taylor discusses and analyzes many southern prejudices. People of the South shared the same ideas a- bout certain things since they DR. R. H. TAYLOR all lived in a typical environment Their prejudices against cigarettes, for example, were the same. Pipes and cigars were acceptable, but the cigarettes definitely were not Employers often would not hire a man if he smoked cigarettes because he supposedly was weaker and less dependable than the cigar or pipe smoker. "However, this is not a personal biography,* said Taylor. "In this book, which, incidently, I did not write in a month or six months, but rather over a period of years, I tried to be objective and present an authenic picture of town and rural life of the farmer around the cotton and tobacco belts. The name of the village is, of course, fictitious, but the people and situations in which they lived are typical of North and South Carolina.* Dr. Taylor utilized his firsthand experiences both with anecdotes and pathos to lend the book feeling and depth. Not only did Dr. Taylor discuss the better-known facts of Southern prejudices, but also items of interest such as community pride, reaction that the people had during this time, the education available to those people who lived in the rural areas, the medical practices, customs, religion among these people, and politics of the Southern man. The conclusive chapter of the book, "Fifty Years Later,* shows the changes since World War I in these areas: The crossroad villages are dying, small privately-owned stores are going out of business, the residences are better kept, and CONTINUED page 8
