  • Thursday, October 31,1968 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 5 CAROLINIAN OUTLOOK ByShmlUn Outlook on what? Well, we have the existence of school....that's it—merely school. People, classes, learning, They all learn because they don't have learning of forget because they do. And they all go to learn. To learn what? Something someone else say? Nothing, but they make it sound like they did. Like, for example, education. It's a wonderful thing to people. Especially little people. Like how to call roll. And how to count the number of people in your class. And so on. The reason I can't think of anything else is because I wasn't taught to think or what else I should say (or better say). What does all this mean? Think about it, I went to school for four years to get an education. And what did I come up with? A great big chance to exist in an educated society that learned what someone else said, all the way back to Ogg, Aristotle, and Philo. Well, what does that have to do with education? Ogg started out with nothing to teach to no one (Ogg was a caveman—he couldn't talk). Phllo said something that someone else said for him and said that he said it Aristotle taught and no one understands. And so on. So why education? Because you learn things and you don't want to be a barbarian, and because your mother said so. And you learn that everyone else has something to learn, and you learn that you have something to teach. Well, what do you teach then? Learning, of course. The people need learning and facts and, well, education, merely because they can't call roll and they can't remember them even if they do. And so you teach them—everything. You teach them everything about how to pass on "Here" and "May I be excused?" because that's what you learned to teach them. And why do you teach them that instead of how to read or write or understand? Because you don't—and because you were never taught to. You girls better hurry on down to the Varsity Shop before all the great buys are gone. Kay Poole got carried away (as will you) with the beautiful dresses by John Meyer of Norwich and Villager on sale for 1/2 PRICE. The VS just got In a shipment of lady's handbags, men's wallets, and a shipment of men's & women s belts are on the way. For the latest from the John Meyer of Norwich, Villager, Corbln, Stanley Blacker, and Heathmoore lines stop in the Varsity Shop of Cullowhee. ®tif VarBitg &liop 1 radittonal Clothing for The Gentleman * His Lady Little Theatre Boasts Dance Instructor As Family Member The Little Theatre at Cullowhee boasts a new member this year who is rapidly proving himself to be a very valuable one. Bill Irby, from Wachula, Florida, is currently teaching the cast of The Little Theatre's fall production, Sophocles' "Oedipus Res," basic ballet techniques every evening before rehearsal. According to Way- land Winstead, director , the purpose of the lessons Is to give members of the cast additional poise and grace on stage, due to the difficulties involved in maneuvering while wearing stylized masks and floor-length costumes. Although the exercises have caused a few sore muscles, Winstead says that they have caused a tremendous Improvement in the movement and gestures of his actors, Irby has b een in ballet most of his life, starting at the age of six in his home town of Wachula, and studying there until the age of ten. He later went to Tampa, Florida and stayed with Tony Pasquale's Civic Company, where he was the youngest dancer in the company. After a year and a half with Mr, Pasquale's Company Irby went to Orlando to become a member of the South Central Ballet Company as Its youngest soloist, in the summer of his twelfth year he received a scholarship to study in New York with Joseph Levinoff, who is currently director of Dance Magazine, At the age of fourteen he spent the summer with Thomas Armor's Miami Civic Ballet where he danced his first lead In Debussy's "Afternoon of a Faun." In the following year he performed as lead male dancer with both the Orlando and Tampa Civic Ballet Companies., Throughout high school, Irby taught dance techniques to male soloist students and worked as lead dancer with a number of companies. During his senior year he was artistic director for all Central and Southern Florida's Ciic Ballet Companies. Upon graduation from high school he traveled to New York for extensive study of all phases of dance--primarily with Joseph Levinoff, He remained in New York for two years before traveling to Europe, where he studied Flamenco Dance in Spain and Classical Ballet In England, He later came back to New York for a short time, during which he studied with Robert Geoffrey, who in Irby's opinion is "the finest lead male Classical Ballet dancer in this country." He came to WCU this summer after a four-year tour of duty In the U.S. Air Force, where he still managed to continue his dancing, working one-man and company dance shows at numerous bases, and won the U.S. Air Force World-Wide Talent Contest all four years, in the field of dance, Irby, when asked his opinion of the Little Theatre at Cullowhee and its members has this to say, "Since becoming a member of the Little Theatre Family, I have never ceased to be amazed at how much I have been able to learn in so short a time at WCU from the Head of the Department, Miss Josefina Niggli and her aides, I have enjoyed working under Wayland Winstead this quarter and feel that I have had few- directors in any past experience from whom Ihave learned more.

I would like to get my college education and would like to eventually be in charge of my own theatre or community theatre." It is hoped by all members of the Little Theatre that BUI Irby wiU stay with them for a long time, for he has quickly proven himself to be an indispensable member, important to the Theatre's success. The Daily Lives Of Coeds Filled With Decisions Do you ever wonder what that pretty little coed thinks about? What's behind those perfect blond curls and that Inscrutable mask of composure that she presents to the world? Is today's college girl a sincere intellectual who probes the depths of science and art or do those hornrim specs serve an ostentatious purpose? Do world affairs and an awareness of current events concern the average college female? Is her purpose for being in college the quest of vital knowledge which will deepen her understanding of life and contribute to her success in her vocation? Does she search for the meaning of existence and the pattern of universal behavior? Is she frustrated by the Inconsistency of life? Does a sense of overwhelming futility and inadequacy occupy her most conscious thoughts. Perhaps you'd say a minority of coeds are concerned with taking advantage of the wealth of knowledge and culture college has to offer. They are mature enough to counterbalance fun and study and obtain from both maximum satisfaction. But , , . how starkly this contrasts with one what one sees pictured In the daily routine of dormitory life. The daily routine of a coed seems consumed by triviality. Are these shallow trivialities of a coed's life a mask which conceals her deeper thoughts and aspiration. Is there a thinking capacity beneath the veneer surface? Is this opaque depth what gives woman her mystery?
