  • The Western Carolinian VOICE OF THE STUDENTS Vol. XXXVI, No. 28 January 21, 1971 Western Carolina University Cullowhee, N.C. "YANK" WENGLINSKI is conditioning here for the Great Tuckaseigee Tubing Race, which will be held this Saturday. John Slater of the Public Information Office took the temperature of the water in the river yesterday and found it to be 38 degrees on the 'sunny side of the river'. Chicago in concert here Sunday night CHICAGO, the group that has already made its presence known in modern music, wUl be in concert in Ruid Gymnasium Sunday at 8 p.m. The group, which has been compared to such "greats" as Elvis, Ray Claries, The Beatles, The Byrds, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix and others doesn't specialize in any one type ot music. CHICAGO blends jazz, blues, rock, symphonies and "perhaps a dozen other labels/'of music, the International Famous A™ gency, mc. reports. Seven musicians make up CHICAGO, Dan Seraphine, the drummer, studied percussion at DePaul University, then with Chuck Flores, ex-member of Maynard Ferguson and Woody Herman bands., Robert Lamm plays the organ, electric piano and is a vocalist. He studied piano and composition at Roosevelt University. Terry Kath the guitarist and vocalist has been playing eight years though he lias no formal training. Walt Perry plays woodwinds., He earneda degree from DePaul in orchestral clarinet and has studied with woodwind players in the Chicago Symphone. Lee Loughnane studied at De Paul for two years then at the Chicago Conservatory CoUege for two years. He plays the trumpet and flugel horn. Pete Cetera, bass and vocal, began playing the accordial at 12 and has worked with various groups. Jim Pankow plays the trombone. He studied at DePaul and Quincv Collese- The Great Tuckaseigee tubing race is Saturday Whoever thought that tubing down the old Tuckaseigee wuuld rate newspaper, radio, and tel- evision coverage?! Such is the speculation for the First Annual Western Carolina Tubing Race to be held Saturday, January 23 at 1:00,, sponsored by the University Cen = ter Beard. Thirty-six contestants will be in the race. The course will be approximately 1 1/2 miles in length stretching from Dick's Gap Bridge to the finish line at Pi Kappa Village (see map). The event wiU be covered by radio and TV net works. The spectators of the event will be furnished with refreshments. The UCB plans to seU coffee and donuts. Contestants will be placed in line, as reported, in the order which they signed up. As of Wednesday afternoon only one person has dropped out of the race. The event will take place no matter wlmt the weather; ice, snow, sleet, or rain. The course contains many obstacles. Rocks are scattered throughout the course. Contestants wiU have to negotiate the rapids which the river entails. Virgin forest saved Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest will be untouched by the controversial Robbinsville- Tellico Plains Scenic Highway which was formerly planned to cross the virgin tract of climax hardwood. The decision, a result of a Federal Highway Administration meeting, calls for the highway to be 300 feet north of the originally proposed route, or just outside the northern boundary of Joyce Kilmer. Earlier plans, which called for the highway to wipe out some 200 acres of the forest and disturb the untouched watershed of the area, touched off a flurry of protesting letters, speeches, and editorials from residents of the region. WCU students and faculty sponsored an ecology seminar in November at Joyce Kilmer to protest the proposed route across the forest. The new plan, announced by Ralph V. Moyte, supervisor or N. C. National Forests, and Frank Brown, Chairman of the N. C„ National ParK, Parkway and Forests Development Commission, places the highway's center line over the rim of the Slick Rock area outside the national forest, Moyle stated the new route wUl keep the highway in the heights and will not require abandonment of parts of the road already built, Rules for the race are as follows: 1. Must be an individual contestant or team contestants (no more than 2). A. Must be one tube large enough for 2 people or, B. Must have two tubes tied together. 2. Both members of the team must cross finish line to constitute a completed race. 3. A team member cant swim except to catch up to a lost tube and/or the tube must be floating at all times, no pushing or swimm.'ng to move the tube. 4.
