CIRUNA WCU's greatest academic boost all year The greatest academic boost this campus has had all year, as ClRUNA's Cullowhee Con ■ ference on the Middle East was termed by several observers, came to an end last Friday night The two day Conference hosted U. S. Senator Mark Hat field, New York Times corres • pondent Dana Schmidt and sev eral other informed dignitaries from the Middle East and the U. S State Department.

All individuals and groups interested in helping with the beautification project are urged to attend this 8UyM GuU'71 %tq QjUM.

The freshman May Court members are Mary Jane Glenn and Debbie Welch. Voting for the W.C,U„ May Court was yesterday. Approximately 350 students voted for the candidates of their choice in the area beside the Post Office and the Townhouse. Photographs of we nominees were displayed at that location, The May Queen and her court will be presented during the annual Spring Festival celebration in Cullowhee. meeting. Planting areas will be assigned to groups at this meeting. The planting date is set for Saturday, May 1 from 9-10 a.m. Interested persons should meet at the Greenhouse in front of Stillwell to pick up flowers. In case of rain, the planting will be done on Sunday, May 2, at the same time. If any person or group cannot attend the Friday night meeting, . Dr. Brown will be available in his office, Room 210A McKee, on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning and at the Greenhouse on Saturday morning to give instructions. Hatfield, who stated that he was very impressed with the Cullowhee Conference spoke to more than 1,000 people who crowiled into the Grandroom to hear him Thursday night Hatfield, who termed himself an idealistic statesman, said that we need to approach the Mid- East situation from a more humanistic point of view before the problem will be solved. Fourteen major sessions were held during the two days with speakers, panel discussions and question and answer periods. Informal discussions, often more informative than the scheduled activities, went on 24 hours a day during the Conference. Interviews with many of the d'gnitaries were vidieo-taped for future uss in classrooms. Senator Hatfield's speech was fimed and will probably be shown publicly in the near future. According to several of the delegates, the status and ores tige of Western Carolina was greatly improved by the Con ference, some of whom had never heard of WCU before they were invited to attend. CIRUNA has already begun planning the Second Annual Cullowhee Conference which will either be on the Mid-Eastagain or perhaps on China. Many of the Mid-East experts were of the opinion that WCU could be come nationally recognized if it continued having conferences concerning the Mid-East, The cost of the Conference, some $8,000,00, has been "covered", according to Leo Snow, former president of CIRUNA, who resigned yesterday. Although Snow denied know ■ ledge of it, informed sources within C1RMNA stated that several of the featured speakers had said they would return part of their honorariums to WCU, to be used specifically forCIR- UNA's budget. When asked what CIRUNA learned this year that will help them with next year's conference, Snow stated "The bud • get will be watched much more closely-" Play has potential, but lacks unity ELIZABETH GEE By W, WAT HOPKINS Associate Editor THE CRUCIBLE has the po tential for being one of the Speech and Theatre Arts Department's better productions, but, . . . But something is missing from this production of Arthur Miller's controversial play set in Salem, Massachusetts at the time of the witch trials. And what is missing seems to be unity. The script is powerful, the set and lighting are excellent, tho costumes are superb. And that's where the problem begins Though several actors deliver good performances, the play doesn't unify because director Donald L„ Loeffler seems to be attempting to carry the play on the set and the lighting, not to mention the costumes. The actors, too, though each knows Ms part, and the character he is playing, don't fit together as a unifying fore* that Miller demands in THE CRUCIBLE. Loeffler does control the aud- ienc*'s emotions, however, from the opening scent where the play-goer could mistakenly sympathize with Revwend Par- ris, until the final scene, when John Proctor finally realizes he cannot debase his name. Earl Willis bega the audience's disgust, in the part of Parris, the sniveling minister, and John Fahnestock plays the part of Proctor, the farmer that must decide on a confession of conspiracy with the devil and life, or refusal to con fess a.nl death, THE CRUCIBLE, on the surface, is the story of a group of young girls bringing charges of witcUoraft against maiy of th* townspeople of Salem. The girls are led by the beautiful Abigail Williams, whos;; motive is to have Proctor's wife accused and nangud, so siie can have Proctor for herself. Janus Yates, a tall, strikine blonde, plays Abigail. Below the surface, THE CRUCIBLE is the story of a man that must sacrifice his life for what he believes in. Proctor is a single man against society, and th ■ ough he has support from his wife, and other townspeople that will hang, he himself is toe man that finally makes the choice. Besides Willis and Miss Yates, Luther Jones puts on a good performance as the old, but still active Giles Corey. Brent Carter, as Deputy Governor Danforth, the judge of the witches captures the motions and movements of the elderly hanging-judge. To succeed, as have most of the past S/TA productions, THE CRUCIBLE will have to gel more than it did at last night's final dress rehearsal, which played to an open house. The power of Miller's play is undoubtedly present in this production, toe only gripe is that the maximum power toe Speech and Theatre Arts Department is capable of, the maximum power that was evidenced in the dress rehearsal, is not coming across. And the power IS there. THE CRUCIBLE opens tonight in the University Theatre
