  • Grassroots' leader talks about life By CHRISTY MARTIN Warren Entner wears blue jeans^ snake skin shoes, and has a kind of nice way of saying things., l-ike, "Travel ing kills you, after awhile, You're on the road so lon« the only things you see are motels and restaurant tables. Everything else is justamist." Entner is the lead member of THE GRASSROOTS, He has been into the music thing for :en years, starting with a junior nigh school band, THE GRASSROOTSarrived in Cullowhee at approximately 6:30 p„m. on Wednesday night, and Entner didn't have a vivid impression of Cullowhee at the time of the 7^00 interview "It's like I said, after awhile, all you see is a mist." He did make one emphatic comment about our environment however, "You can tell them to stop throwing that rubbish in your streams and rivers," When questioned about the group's use of drugs, Entner hesitated a moment before he answeredo "Sometimes 'yes' and sometimes 'no.' But you play much better when you're down." He believes the members of a group perform better if they are totally conscious of their audiences. The GRASSROOTS aren't in big name entertainment just for the money. Entner likes what he does and says "making the bread is just thf end t~ what Destruction of phones is problem According to Dr. Doug Davis, dean of men; the problem of the destruction of telephones on the Western Carolina campus is growing. Recently Davis has received reports of four telephones being either rendered inoperable or completely torn out and missing. Two of the phones, Davis reportedi, were torn out of the walls in Buchanan Residence Mail. He said that the Western Carolina Telephone Company listed the price of replacement of the two phones at $500, "I don't understand it," Davis said, "The students don't gain anything by tear ing a phone out if it is not functioning. There is really only one thing that can be done about it. I don't wa.it to do it and the telephone company doesn't want to do it. That is. simply not replace them when they are torn out." Davis also said <hat a way to alleviate the problem might be to add the price of replacing the phones to the fees of the dormitoi-y students. He stated that the plan was infeasible, "But we've ^ot to do something." Davis, when asked if the problem might prompt the telephone company's refusal to replace phones. sa:d that it has "n the past, and could easily happen again* "When I first came," he said, "the telephone company put phones !n ail the dorms Soon there were no phones in Robertson, and one in Reynolds? And it was like thatall over campus, The company just refused to replace them, and I don't blame "The ne«t year the Student Government Association ap- nealed to them and finally they put in all the phones. But Sow they're being torn out we're doing. But there's nothing wrong with free enter- prize." At this point in the interview, he was asked about problems presented by 'groupies.' Entner smiled a little slowly, sat back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling of the gym dressing room. "Most groupies are harmless, I guess. They're the little girls who stand outside your motel rooms and giggle all night. They use the rock singers, We don't use them. Maybe they'll outgrow it, I hope they will, anyway." And so much for the'groupies.' All members of THE GRASSROOTS have what he terms "individual music traps." They don't confine themselves to a certain type of music, "That's left up to the critics and the writers," adds Entner. Ten years from now, he wants to be making a film or taking pictures with his camera. "I just want to do things that are fun to put together. I don't know. Maybe I'll just put a recording studio in my house and sit there.(pause) For a couple of years." THE GRASSROOTS have a four day vacation coming up this month. And they plan to go home (Los Angeles). After that, they're "out" again to travel Kansas, Nebraska, and Florida. Entner seems to be rather woary of being on the road. "I don't know anybody in this business who really looks forward to going out on tour." And that's the less glam ■ ourous side of the life of a big name rock singer. Complete with blue jeans, snake skin shoes, and a kind of nice way of saying things. Like, "1 think I'll flip out if 1 see one more Holiday Inn." New student activities dean named Assistant Dean of Men, Bob Dawson, will assume the duties of the Dean of Student Activities when the position is vacated by Taylor Huskins July first. Herb Reinhard, Vice-President for Student Development announced earlier this week. Dawson sees the Student Activities as a "voluntary resource that is available to all student organizations as well as the academic community in general." Dawson also stated that the purpose of this volumtary resource was to increase the effectiveness of any organization who might need help. Dawson will continue to serve is International Student Advisor after he assumes Student Activities duties. Dawson 's move to Director of Student Activities will leave the Assistant Dean of Men's office open, but the office will probably be filled by the time the change is made. Catamount meeting held There will be a meetingof the CATAMOUNT staff Monday, Feb. 15. at 7:00 p.m. in the CATAMOUNT offices. All staff members are expected to attend. Warren Entner of the GRASSROOTS THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday, February 11, 1971 3 Sfie New Athletic Director offers a positive approacfi It is the purpose of the \thletic Department to develop a program that the students and people of Wester i Carolina Uilversity can be proud of. We an working toward this goal in all phases of our athletic program. Success is being achieved as evidenced by our teams in the past two years and most recently; our fine basketball team. Needless to say we have not yet reached the desired heights, Wo have a long way to go. The majority of the burden of getting there rests on our shoulders—the competitive part of the program.. The students and the fans are. however, not without responsibility. We must take a positive approach to athletic competition.. Our opponents f>r the most part have worked just as hard as we have in preparation for events.. They are talented and conditioned competitors. They, too, deserve our respect if not our support. An illustration of my point would be our games against S. C. State. When our basketball team played them a few weeks ago In Orange- g'li-g, our players were applauded during the team introductions.. As you may remember S.C State was rudely received when they were introduced here, This, 1 believe is a negative approach to Athletic competition., We need to change this. It is ojr hope that opposing teams will leave the campus of WC'J impressed by, and hopefully in most cases, defeated by the athletic talent, courage, and endurance of its teams. It is also hoped that they will be impressed by the courteous treatment and respect given to them by our students and fans. There is no doubt that our athletes and fans have been mistreated and abused on vis'ting othor campuses. Let's not bring ourselves down to their level—let's bring them up to ours. In our remote geographic situation, we depend lieavily upon the student body for the support of our athletic program. Your enthusiastic support in the past has been deeply aDo- reciated. As we grow in the future, we sincerely hope to retain your spirited backing, cooperation, and desire to develop a winning athletic program. Bob Waters Club receives orientation The Western Carolina University Sociology Club received an orientation from Mr. Ernest L. Rose, Jackson County Director of Social Services, on Feb. 3, at 7:00 p,m. The talk included the historical development of Voluntary and public social services. Mr. Rose said that the present Public Assistance program in Jackson County costs in excess of $750,000 annually. The agency was described as a multipurpose family serving agency. Financial assistance is made to the aged, disabled, and to dependent children. The thrust of the department is on professional services to include medical assistance, surplus food, adoptions, foster home care, juvenile court cases, assistance to neglected and abused children and psychological testing. The Sociology Club members were briefed on career opportunities in social services and were challenged by Mr. Rose to become involved either as volunteers or as career staff members in meeting human needs. te^cheRs kktiftKS mmzmsti ... in Public Schoeli ona* College, For early placement writ*: tmvopth TEACHERS AGENCY »OXlloiTP)Higl^oinf^1611 Member National Anociation . | , Teatnert Aqenciei.
