  • The Western Carolinian VOICE OF THE STUDENTS VOL. XfXXW NO. 40 Tuesday, March 9, 1971 Western Carolina University Cullowhee, N.C. Music Dept. gets new hnrpsichord By CHRISTY MARTIN News Editor That glittery sounding instrument with the classical tone which was used extensively in the motion picture, TOM JONES is called a harpsichord. The same instrument is also becoming more popular for use In current television commercials as well as In the rock music trend (Let Your Love Go by BREAD). It came before the piano and last week was brought to the WCU Music Department from West Germany. "Students have commented on the 'modern' design of the harpsichord," states Dr. Betsy C. Farlow, of the Music Department. She adds that the design of the harpsichord is actually from the 17th and 18th century; "but classical lines are always modern." The harpsichord was handcrafted in West Germany. New- pert is the manufacturer. The WCU instrument was purchased from the John W, Allen dealer in Bristol, Virginia. The retail price for the harpsichord is $4750 and the Music Department wUl receive a discount. According to Dr. James E. Dooley, Head of the Music Department and Henry Lofquist this is probably the second harpsichord of this particular model In the United States. Since music written before 1760 was composed for the harpsichord, WCU students will now be able to authentically study music from this period. The instrument wUl be used for demonstrations in music courses as well as concerts. Students also use it for practicing. The harpsichord hastwokey= boards and three sets of strings. It has a black walnut case and maple inlay. The precision of German craftsmanship Is unique and adds much to the style of the harpsichord. The instrument will tentatively be used in a faculty recital this spring. It wUl also be used to accompany performances of the WCU Concert Choir.

Perhaps you're shown a warrant—perhaps not, You stand with your hands against a wall whUe you're frisked. Then your hands are brought down behind your back and you feel the steel of handcuffs being snapped on your wrists. Chances are that you're scared to death--because you've finally been caught or because you don't know what's going on. You stand and watch with your stomach beginning to knot while the arresting officer reads your legal rights from a little white card. If you listen to those legal rights, do you understand them? In the back of a police car on your way to jaU you wonder what to do—who to call—can you call? Once at the police station you go through the "booking process," havingyour fingerprints and picture taken and maybe you're advised of your rights again but do you know what "Miranda -Escobedo" means? They say that you have the right to remain sUent but why do they keep asking you questions? You wish you could call somebody to help you—and you can, but when? Folk festival held The SGA sponsored Country, Blue Grass, and Folk Festival, organized by Marc Pruett, wUl be held Thursday, March 11, in Hoey auditorium beginning at 6:30 p.m. The event is FREE and open to the public. They say the court wUl appoint an attorney for you so where is he? Whendoeshegetthere?What do you do tUl them? Maybe you've been through the above before. Maybe not. If you don't know what to do if you're arrested—what your legal rights are—then come learn. Thursday night, March 11 at 8:00 p.m. Mr. Clark Parker, attorney at law, wUl address students in the Business building auditorium. AU are invited—all are urged to come. Tubing race gets coverage in magazine The first annual winter quarter tubing race has received state-wide coverage. Robert Scott a local writer and photographer sold his picture-story of the tubing race to THE STATE a magazine of North Carolina published in Raleigh. The magazine carried a three-page spread, and was also the cover-story of the recent issue. Scott originally submitted the story to SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, but it was rejected. Besides free-lancing Scott works for MOUNTAIN LIVING. THE STATE is published semi-monthly. A News Anaysis By W.WAT HOPKINS Associate Editor The Student Government Association, in a report to the President of the University, proposed that he provide for the earmarking of three dollars for popular entertainment and clubs and organizations. Dr. Pow's reorganization of the university fee system wUl be taken before the Board of Trustees on March 18. The report from the executive branch of S. G.A. recommended that he earmark two dollars for popular variety entertainment and one dollar for student Invitational prints shown in Joyner The Western Carolina University Department of Art cur- renUy is showing an exhibit of "North Carolina Student Invitational Prints" in Joyner Gallery. The exhibition, circulated by the North Carolina Museum of Art to schools and galleries throughout the State, consists of 25 original prints by 16artists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The prints, In woodblock, intaglio, silkscreen, and lithograph, range from clearly representational to completely abstract. The public is invited to view the exhibit in Joyner Gallery, open daily Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. tU 5 p.m. appropriations to student clubs and organizations. The Student Government under John Henning decided at the 35th Annual Pre-Sesslon Conference that an increase in fees was necessary. Recommendation #62 of that Conference stated that four dollars be added, two for movies and two for popular entertainment. The Faculty Senate, though, partly because only 20% of the student body participated in a referendum taken to see if it was in support of the recommendation, decided that not enough information was available. The David Huskins administration began new research. Part of that research showed that for the 1970-71 year a total of $162,576 was requested by 37 clubs and organizations, Only $94,675 was distributed, and to only 35 of the 37 clubs. For the coming year, the report showed that 48 clubs and organizations have requested $183,205. The requests exceed actual monies initially earmarked for such use by approximately $97,300. The extra dollar Student Government wants for clubs and appropriations, based on 4200 students per quarter wUl increase appropriations by $12, 600. The added two dollars for entertainment wUl increase the funds for that purpose from $34,000 per year to approximately $60,000 per year. Huskins hopes the new budget, if approved, will allow the Student Government Association to book big-name bands and charge, at most, fifty cents a head. "We hope to book two, maybe three bands for concerts a quarter," he said. Huskins also reported that Pow was favorable toward the proposal. HE DOESN'T KNOW YET. Or he's just tired of being sent away. Or maybe he's just going to sit and wait until Dan Rather shows up. Rather, originally scheduled to speak at WCU on March 1, cancelled and reset the talk for last night. Again, though, he cancelled his engagement.
