XXXVII, No. n Thursday, Octobe r 14, 1971 Penalized for Politics ? Senators, presidential assistants, vice-presidents, presidents, even reporters and editors might take a lesson from "The Steve Gheen Case." That lesson, being, of course, don't work too hard, or push too far, or care too much about the students of this campus. If the listed officials arent in need of financial aid to continue their educations here, or possible at other institutions, they can ignore the lesson. The mix-up Gheen was involved in may not be what it seems on the surface. Lack of funds, a fair appraisal of his academic record, and recommendations, as well as character and potential as an instructor here, may legitimately be the reason Gheen did not receive the assistantship. There are hints mat indicate otherwise, though. First, Gheen believed that he had the assistantship. He resigned as public defender, a job that was perfect for him; he returned ready to begin teaching; he had to leave school and get a job because the assistantship was denied. And Gheen had the qualifications. He was recommended by the history department, through the School of Arts and Sciences to the Dean of the Graduate School. Andrew Baggs, a professor that has had Gheen guest lecture in his classes called him an "outstanding lecturer;" one "born for it," Ghn«»n «mc o« The Western Carolinian Published twice wuekly through the academic year and weekly durinitheaummer by the student, of Western Carolina University.

Gheen was an honor student. So if the denial was legitimate, what was the basis? Why the mix-up? Politics? Gheen was politically oriented. He was an outstanding campus politician, and a chief fighter for student rights. He was not always ethical in his opponents' eyes, but he was always within the law, and always confident, firm, and usually a winner. It seems that Gheen's politics, then, may have kept him from receiving the assistantship he was told he would receive. The name "Steve Gheen" was almost synonom- ous with a struggle for the students, and with a controversy. And that's what politics is about, in part, anyway. The decisionmakers, then, were denying the assistantship because a politician was a good politician. What they are doing, as a result, is splitting education and cancelling out one of the most important parts of a full education. The part that is being cancelled is the practical part, From math, science, art, English and other areas a student learns the facts, the theories and the laws. He learns how a man is supposed to think. That is, he gets the book-learning. And while the subject areas may tell the student how civilizations and people before him thought and acted, and what human nature is supposed to be, they leave out what practical education does not. Learning to govern oneself, to make laws and go by them can not !>e learned in the classroom. Learning to stand up for the -ights of a group, whether a lation or a student body can be taught only one way—through loing. Gheen made an "A»» in "Practicalities." He should not be penalized for it I HdPB THAT Purine mis Teieviseo G30PSe UJ£ MILL ®LL C&JOjOP A ceRTAiM fcAPFOBxi; ▼ DRAMA BY DAN DIETZ t In the wake of the recent disclosures of eagle destruction by ranchers In Wyoming, a new bumper sticker has appeared: MAKE SHEEP THE NATIONAL BIRD. the film version of Eugene O'Neill's LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT, unquestionably the finest of all Ameri= can plays, is scheduled for one showing at 8:00 p.m. Wed. Nov. 17 at Hoey Aud. I emphatically urge anyone who is interested in first-rate writing and acting to see it The film was released in 1962 with Ralph Richardson (James Tyrone), Ka- therine Hepburn (Mary Tyrone), Jason Robards,. Jr. (Jamie Tyrone), and Dean Stock well (Edmund Tyrone). The cast give consummate performances; in par= ticular, Hepburn, certainly America's greatest actress, gives the most memorable, most haunting performance I have ever seen on film. Besides the super- lative actings the screenplay closely follows O'Neill's script, There is no at- tempt to gratuitously "open up" the play for the screen (unlike, say, the superfluous roadhouse sequence in the film version of that other excellent American play, WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF7) and thus the play's claustro- phobic setting, the living room, becomes the film's focal action area, in all, this is an unforgettable film version of America's most tragic play, O'Neill began writing LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT in 1939, completed it in 1941, and in 1945 gave the sealed manuscript to Bennett Cerf of Random House on the condition that the play would be neither read nor acted until twenty-five years after his death. Since O'Heill died in 1953, the play there- fore was not to be read or seen by anyone until 1978. In 1955, however, O'Neill's widow, Carlotta, who had complete legal control over all her husband's writings, asked Random House for the play. Cerf gave her the manuscript and Mrs, O'Neill eventually aUowed Yale University Press to publish it (Cerf of course refused to publish it since he had given his word to O'Neill that Random House would release it only after the quarter century following O'Neill's death had elapsed). fa Fegruary 1956 the play had its world premiere in Stockholm and on No- vember seventh of that year was first produced in the States at the Helen Hayes Theatre in New York with Fred- ric March (James), Florence Eldrige (Mary), Jason Robards, Jr. (Jamie), and Bradford Dillman (Edmund). The play's success was enormous. It ran for one year in New York (for a total of 390 performances) and won both the Pulitzer Prize and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award. Brooks Atkinson, reviewing the play for THE NEW YORK TIMES, stated that with the play the American theatre acquires sizeand stature...It restores the drama to literature and the theatre to art." ^^deed, this "play of old sorrow" U) NelU's description) is the masterpiece of American drama. It is Chekhovian in structure: it has the slightest of plots and instead concentrates upon the alternating affections and accusations shared by the four members of the haunted Tyrone family. The play is autobiographical in nature (hence O'Neill's unwillingness to have the play released until years after his death) and is in essence a compo- site of various events in O'Neill's early family life, The action occurs during one day (from morning after breakfast to an alcoholic and drug ridden midnight) in the August of 1912 at the Tyrone's summer house in Connecticut. The father, James, is an aging actor I who once held great promise as a ma- I jor Shakespeareian actor but who instead fell into easy, popular roles which made I hint rich but demanded little of his act- I ing talent. So at 65 he is rich—but | regretful that he never fulfilled nis early I promise. He has also become paranoid I over the possibility of losing his money I and has thus become a miser of the first I order. Mary, his wife, at once both idoli- I zes and reviles her husband. She resents his having been an actor and com- plains about the long years of raising her two sons in cheap hotels and dirty Pullmans while James toured the coun- try in his romantic, superficial plays* . And, most traglcaUy, the combination of circumstances has made Maryahelp- less drug addict. The two sons, like their mother, alternately hate and love their father. &° mte is approaching his mid=30s wj* still no aim in life and in an alcohohc haze lives only for occasional flings «* the local worn-out whores.
