  • Regional baids to meet CULLOWHEE, N. C. — The first annual Western Carolina Marching Band Festival, an expanded program for regional high school bands, will be sponsored Saturday, November 7, in Memorial Stadium here. The festival will replace the traditional WCU Band Day, and will include changes to offer participating band directors and their students more music educational opportunities. Beginning at 1 p. m. , the festival design will permit each band to present a marching show and to observe other particip- itating bands. To climax the day's activities, the WCU marching band will perform a field show at 5:30 p.m. Unlike band days in the past, the festival will be held on a day when no WCU football activity is scheduled at Cullowhee. The festival will be open to parents, friends, and other interested persons tree ot charge. Each high school band will receive a trophy, a competitive rating, and criticism from three nationally known marching band authorities. Adjudicators for the festival will be Dr. William J. Moody, director of bands at the University of Texqs; Dr. Hobert Hawkins, director of bands at Morehead (Kentucky) State Un~ iversity; and Dr. W.J. Julian, director of bands at the University of Tennessee. Judging and awarding trophies to the outstanding baton twirler artists, auxiliary groups, and drum major will be included as part of the day's activities. Robert B. Welch, WCU director of bands, is in charge of the festival. In announcing plans for the festival and changes from the previous band day events, Welch said "Everyone who has been connected with a high school band knows what an effort of time and talent is required. The band, involved so much with community and school service, is too seldom the center of attention. With this in mind, we are delighted to be able to sponsor a day featuring the bands themselves."

Box 125, Astor Station Boston, Massachusetts 02123 FRANCE DE VICE and Maurice Gerlin, two of Western Carolina's students who hail from Columbia find the United States and their native land quite different. They say that one difference is that Columbian students work harder and play harder than students In the U.S. Churches sponsor volunteer workers St, William's Church in Murphy and the Htnton Rural Life Center in Hayesville sponsored volunteers and helped provide accommodation for those who lived beyond commuting distance. Closer to home, the girls of Theta Iota chapter of Delta Zeta sorority at WCU mowed the grass, painted, and puttied windows. Neighborhood Youth Corps kept the grass cut during the sum mer. Harold Jones of Midnight Electric Co. in Andrews rewired the building. Many other individuals helped clean and sew and move furniture. Business firms from all parts of western North Carolina donated materials and services for building the clinic. Among the many organizations that helped in this way are Lees Carpets of Robbinsville; Palmer Discount Sisters of Providence, and Carolina Hardware, Co., all of Murphy; Andrews Builders Supply Co., Huls-Bettls Furniture Co., and Gibson Furniture Co., of Andrews; Sossamon Furniture Co., in Sylva; Dover Mill Co. of Shelby; and Old Fort Mill in Black Mountain. The satellite clinic Is staffed by full-time psychiatric social worker and a supervisor, both provided by the WCU Mental Health Center, and by volunteers from the community who have received special training. Professional mental health workers are available when needed from the center at Cullowhee. Dr. Stanley Nale, director of the WCU Mental Health Center, said that the Marble clinic already offers individual and group psychotherapy, occupational therapy and recreational therapy. According to Dr. Nale, the clinic will soon offer a full range of comprehensive mental health treatment services for the mentally ill in Cherokee, Clay, and Graham counties. Dedication ceremonies will be held in Marble School, and will be followed by an open house In the clinic building. Refreshments will be sarved. SOFT ICE CREAM BANTAM CHEF FEATURING IHE BOXES TO GO CHICKEN BURGER ONE-HALF MILE FROM CAMPUS ON HIGHWAY 107 NEW PATIO AND RESTR00MS AVAILABLE U.S. is different from Columbia By LINDA LENCHERD The United States is different economically, socially, and educationally from Colombia, according to two of Western's students from Colombia, France De Vice and Maurice Gerlin. Economically the prices are much higher in the United States. A good size steak in a Columbian restaurant can be bought for a grand total of $1.00 at the maximum, and amazingly enough, chicken is more expensive than steak or any other type of meat The movies in Colombia cost 25<! per person which cannot begin to pay for a children's ticket in the U.S. Everything else is less expensive also, except for machines and cars, Socially, things are quite different also. The problem of having to be a certain age to buy liquor or beer is nonex- itsent in Colombia since there Is no age limit A five year old could go to the store to buy liquor providing he could get his money on the counter. Surprisingly enough there is not as much drinking in Colombia either. Fraternities and Sororities do not exist and individual dating Is very rare. Double dating is a lot more common. The boys get to know the girls fairly well before they ask them out and blind dates are not heard of. France and Maurice both seem to like being able to date a good-looking female without getting to know her well. They also like the variety of blonde, red, or brown hair on females as well as an assortment of blue, green, or brown eyes. At private parties the parents will provide the liquor which would horrify most Am- erlcan parents. Dances last from about 10 o'clock at night to 4 in the morning. The Colombian students seem to work harder and play harder than we do in the U.S. Education is a lot more rigid than in the U^S. Colombian students start out in grade school taking 1 or 2 languages in addition to their own. Maurice and France speak Spanish, English, and French. Finals in high school cover at least 10 subjects on material from the beginning of the year to the end. Six of thirteen graduating seniors In Maurice's and France's high school got scholar ships and many are attending ivy league schools. After a hard year at school the students get a restful summer, though, since no one works until they are married. One final point of interest in Colombia is the draft If a boy is married, or in school, there is no chance of his being drafted. However, the boys can be stopped at any time and must be able to show their draft papers. Mental health clinic dedicated A new mental health clinic designed to serve the three westernmost counties of North Carolina will be dedicated atMarble, N.C, Sunday, Oct 4, at 2 p.m. The new clinic, a satellite of the Mental Health Center at Western Carolina Universitys is sponsored jointly by the WCU center, the State of Franklin Health Council Inc., and "We Care," a community action group from Cherokee, Clay, and Graham counties. Dr. H„ A. Matthews, WCU director for health affairs and president of the State of Franklin, will preside at the dedication. Featured speakers will include WCU President Alex S. Pow; Cary Hall, Atlanta regional director for the U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare; and Mrs. Miriam Moore, president of "We Care." The satellite clinic is the result of a cooperative effort by many different groups and individuals. Work on the project was coordinated by an action committee consisting of Carl Moore and the Rev. John Burton, both of Hayesville, and Father David Glockner, pastor of Holy Redeemer Catholic Church In Andrews. The 13-room building which houses the clinic is the prop erty of the Methodist Church, and is being leased to the State of Franklin for $1 a year for the next five years. More than 2,000 man-hours of volunteer labor—much of it by vacation work groups—have gone into refurbishing the building for use as a clinic. A group from the Vestavia Hills United Methodist Church in Birmingham, Ala., spent two weeks working on the building and grounds. Students from Fairfield College and Fairfield High School in Connecticut laid new flooring, plastered, and put in plumbing. Another group from Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Aberdeen, S. D., painted and cleaned. Students wives meet The Student Wives Club will have its introductory meeting at 7:30 p.m., October 6, In the Main Lounge of the Baptist Student Center, All new student wives are encouraged to attend. Refreshments will be served.
