7, CHRISTMAS EDITION INSIDE THE CAROLINIAN . . . Features - -er Vicki Jackson, Miss tern Carolina University, Uie 1FC smoker and other items of intrinsic interest. Sports catches up on the latest Catamount cage activity and offers a pictoral look at Uie Western Carolina Holiday Tournament held last week in Ashe ville. Twenty Peqes TheWESTERN CAROLINIAN VOICE OF THE STUDENTS VOL. XXXIII, NO. 18 Tuesday, December 12,1967 FEATURES, SPORTS ..... In this large tabloid issue there is a full quota of columns, national and local news, and editoral comments. The "Carolinian Report* looks at Uie visible signs of Christmas. The Student Bill of Rights is featured'and offered to you, the student, as a public service. Twenty Peqes CULLOWHEE, N.C. Smith, Art Instructor At WCUf Named Prize-winning Artist Mr. James E. Smith, aiv instructor at WCU, is featued along with 250 prize winning artists across Uie country, in Margaret Harold's newest edition of PRIZE-WINNING ART. This handsome volume is Uie seventh in an annual series published by Allied Publication, Inc., uniquely recording paintings, watercolors, graphics, and sculptures Uiat have won the top award in Uie important North American art competitions. Mr. Smith is represented with a portrait photograph and a full color reproduction as his top award in Uie Richmond In Drawings and Paintings Biennial at the Valentine Museum in Richmond, Virginia. The prize winning painting, entitled Wilson's Grocery, consists of a portion of a small store side, with only Uie beginning of Uie name "Wilson" and a section of a Pepsi-Cola sign against a weathered clapboard wall, fur= ther decorated by a section of a real pipe and the addition of an old, already made wooden cornice. " 'Wilson's Grocery' is one of Uie few works in Uie show making use of a contemporary idiom, a development of the earlier, brassy Pop Art approach. One of the legacies of pop (which is changing, but by no means dead) appears to be a solid return to represent tation, to picturing things as Uie eye sees them on the outside, and this contemporaneity, along with the merit of Smith's paint- ing, probably won him Uie prize." Mr. F. D. Cossitt, art critic, Richmond Times Dis • patch. Many of Uie artists represented have offered statements describing their approach to Uie creative act as well as their techniques. As John Constable once said ". , . I am anxious that Uie world should be inclined to look to painters for information on paintings." This book certainly accomplishes Uiat. But coupled with this unusual feature are also photographs of the judges who make Uie awards, and their statements as to why they chose Uiat particular work of art. So far as can be determined, this is Uie only source of such information. To duplicate Uie information included in this book, one would need to travel to all Uie top art exhibitions, view Uie top-award painting or other piece of art, personally interview Uie individual artists and talk to Uie judges who make the award. Its side contribution is Uiat it also provides an overall look at contemporary painting styles and trends around Uie Thirty-three Named To Who's Who THE OFFICERS OF THE NEW SIGMA XI CLUB, RECENTLY organized here at Western Carolina, are pictured above.

CONTINUED, Page 19 Peace Corps Deferments Are To Be Sought The Peace Corp has announced it will begin intervening on be half of Peace Corps volunteers seeking draft deferments for two years of overseas service. In a major policy shift, Peace Corps Director Jack Vaughn, concerned by mounting induction calls for volunteers serving overseas, said he will take an "active role" in future deferment cases before Uie Presidential Appeal Board, the court of last resort for draft reclassifications. In Uie past, Uie agency has performed only as informational function-advising volun - teers and trainees of Selective Service laws and procedures and confirming to local boards the fact of Uie volunteer's service. In future appeals, however, Vaughn plans to write letters to the local boards describing the circumstances in each case and urging board members to grant a deferment until completion of the volunteer's overseas tour. "We have a serious situation, " Vaughn said. "Pullinc a volunteer off a productive job at mid-tour is unfair to the nation, the host country, Uie Peace Corps, and the individual." Peace Corps volunteers have lost about 60 deferment appeals before Uie three-man board in the last six and one-half years. 'Virtually all of these have occurred in the past year," Vaughn said. Of the approximately 25 volunteers who have already returned to Uie United States for draft induction, two were disqualified for physical reasons and returned to their overseas assignments. Most volunteers are granted deferments even though Peace Corps service does not take the place of military service obligations. If the local board is upheld by the State Appeal Board, the case goes to the Presidential Appeal Board for a final decision.
