  • 2 Thursday, September 30, 1971 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Fall enrollment hits record high Total fall quarter enrollment at WCU likely will reach a record 6,000 students. Dr. Alex S. Pow, president, said Wednesday (Sept, 29). A total of 5,307 students has already been registered in classes on the Cullowhee campus, and 498 students have already registered in off-campus extension courses, giving a present total enrollment of 5,805. Campus evening and extension class registration will continue through next week. The number of out-of-state students increased from 633 last fall to 903 this year despite the addition of $350 out-of- state tuition charges imposed in July by the General Assem bly. Earlier, the results of an August survey led some forecasters to expect the number of out-of-state students to di- by as much as 20 per cent at most state institutions because of the tuition increase. Western Carolina had a total on-campus enrollment last fall of 5,125 students, and 640 enrollments in off-campus extension location. This year's on-campus enrollment, while still incomplete, already is the largest in University experience and is up by 3.5 per cent over last fall's final count, A limiting factor in the enrollment this year has been a shortage ofhousingspace. Many students who wished to enroll at WCU decided to attend other North Carolina institutions due to limited on-campus residence hall spaces. Women applicants were being placed on waiting lists as early as last May. Two new residence halls, each with a capacity of 400 students, now are nearing completion. With their completion, space will become available to relieve overcrowding in other residence halls and for new admissions. One of these residence halls had been expected to be completed by Sept. 15 and the other early in the fall. Because they were not, some 600 students are being housed in inadequate and makeshift spaces. The new completion date for the 400-bed men's hall is Nov. 3, university spokesmen reported, and the expected completion date fbr the 400-unlt women's hall has been set at "two to three weeks" after the completion of the men's hall.

The Department of Speech and Theatre Arts of WCU will begin the 1971-72 theatre seasoa with William Hanley's Off- broadway success, SLOW DANCE ON THE KILLING GROUND, SLOW DANCE ON THE KIL- LING GROUND is a human drama with moments of high suspense and emotional impact, The play takes place in a small candy store in a factory district of Brooklyn in 1962 on the night Adolph Eichmann was hanged. The candy store becomes a temporary sanctuary for a strangely met trio—a sanctuary from the outside world which one character describes as "the killing ground," The three characters ares Mr. Glas, a German excomm^ unist, Randall, a Negro youth, and Rosie, a 19 year-old pregnant college girL Caught up in the dilemmas of guilt and punishment, each one in turn exposes his own fears and anxieties. The play is also concerned with a slowly developing moral issue—an issue which each per= son must resolve for himself, as one character puts it: "We choose the dark streets up which we walk. And if we are guilty of the denial of life who is there to save us from that but ourselves." SLOW DANCE ON A KILLING GROUND will be directed by Deborah Lewist a senior S/TA major, and the set will be designed by Mr. Richard Beam, technical director for the S/TA department, The cast includes Brent Carter as Mr. Glas, David Hearst as Randall, and Marsha Yowell as Rosie.
