Editorial Comment THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN This newspaper is the Voice of the Students of Western Carolina University. Editorials are from the Editor's desk unless otherwise indicated by the author's initials. Editorial and advertising policy are decided upon by the Editorial Board and comments or criticisms should be made to the newspaper. Opinions expressed by the columnists do not necessarily reflect those of the newspaper. Page 4 VOL. XXXVII, No. 15 Thursday, October 28, 1971 Point well made The reasoning seems to be, if you're going to have a homecoming queen, have a queen. If you don't want a queen, discontinue the tradition, but at least leave it with some mod- icum of honor. That's good reasoning. President Pow suggested to the homecoming committee that they remove John Conrad's name from the list of those nominated for homecoming queen. The committee, with one negative vote and three ab° stintions, followed his suggestion. Many students feel that the President overstepped his bounds. He suggested to a committee that they remove a student-nominated name from a list that was to be voted upon by the football team. Maybe the president should not have meddled in the affair. That's not the point. The point has been made very well by John_ Conrad. Since it is safe to assume that the odds were against Conrad's ever being crowned, his name on the list is incidental. For the second year in a row, though, he has caused students to look at a tradition with some skepticism. Seven girls will be in the 1971 homecoming court. Conrad wont. For this year that is the way it should be. Next year, though the homecoming committee should sit down well in advance and make some very important decisions; decisions that are quite obvious. The committee should either eliminate the tradition of the homecoming queen from the activities or allow any student to be nominated and voted upon. Since the homecoming queen has always been somewhat of an honor, the answer is to discontinue the practice. , . .. !

"Keep the book," the same rumor reports, "and give me my six dollars back." Lotsa luck. Thirdly, there is the student that did not receive his annual at all. Probable he is the most unhappy of the bunch. No annual, no $9 back, no nothing. Cept a friendly see ya next time kind of deal. But then, look at the bright side. That is, the guy that received his master's degree last spring or summer. He has an annual he hasn't paid for. He's the happiest guy in the bunch. Write the editor P.O. Box 66 Letters to the editor should be addressed to The Editor of the CAROLINIAN, P. 0. Box 66, Cullowhee, N. C, 28723. It is the policy of the WESTERN CAROLINIAN not to publish anonymous letters, and letters that do not have the author's name signed in longhand so that it is readable will not be published. The CAROLINIAN does, though, withhold the author's name on occasion if the author requests it Two Off-Broadway plays enjoying successes this year are Dale Wasser- man's ONEFLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST (based on Ken Kesey's novel of the same title) and John Guare's THE HOUSE OF BLUE LEAVES. Both plays have thematic similarities (they make comments on the insanity of modern life and deal, directly or indirectly, with insane asylums),butonefails abominably while the other succeeds with brilliance. As a novel, CUCKOO'S NEST has had a substantial following among col" lege students since it first appeared nine years ago. Its play version, however, first presented on Broadway in 1963 with Kirk Douglas as McMurphy, was a critical and financial failure and ran a mere two months. But the play was revived Off-Broadway last March, garnered favorable reviews, is still running, and is doing quite well—particularly with the under-'30s crowd. In fact, on the night when I saw the production, I, at age twenty- five, was probably the oldest person in the audience. The plot deals with a group of inmates in an asylum and their attempts to match wits with the asylum's staff. In particular, the play is concerned with one of the inmates, Randle McMurphy, and one of the staff members, Nurse Ratched, McMurphy advocates more freedom for the inmates and less respect for the authoritarian establishment Nurse Ratched considers McMurphy a threat to her way of life, and, ultimately, sees that he is destroyed (by lobo- tomy). The play is an allegory of sorts, albeit a superficial and foolish one. But the audience responds, perhaps be~ cause it views the play as a comment on our times: the individual vs. society, man against machine, etc. But the play's hackneyed theme(we'll aU be destroyed by the establishment), obvious symbolism (cuckoo's nest being equated with the world), specious reasoning (the insane are really sane and the sane should be committed), clumsy writing, and merely competent direction all make CUCKOO'S NEST an insult to one's intelligence and disallow anyone taking seriously the play's central idea. On the other hand, Guare's THE HOUSE OF BLUE LEAVES is one of the finest-funniest-scariest plays to be seen in New York today. It is a black farce, a view of the American dream gone topsy-turvy, and I shall always treasure it as one of the finest evenings I've ever spent in a theatre. The nonsensical plot deserves summarization. The play takes place on October 4, 1965—the day the pope visited New York City—in Sunnyside, Queens. Artie Shaughnessy is an attendant at the Bronx Zoo who has a crazy wife named, appropriately, Bananas (who occasionally thinks she's a dog and gets down on all fours and barks and growls); a nutty son, Ronnie, who's AWOL and who intends to kill the pope; a daffy mistress, Bunny Flin- gus, who sleeps with Artie but won't cook for him (her logic being that a girl has to save SOMETHING for marriage); and a close friend, Billy Ein- horn, a successful Hollywood director, Artie's dream is to commit Bananas to an asylum (the house of blue leaves), marry Bunny, and head for Hollywood to make the bigtime as a songwriter for the flicks. Unfortunately, Artie has no talent: all his songs sound like "White Christmas" and have such titles as "Who Took the Devil Out of Evelyn and Put It in Angela's Eyes?" Somehow, three nuns make their way into the Shaughnessy apartment and take over the household. They hope to get a good view of the pope as he passes by in his chauffered limousine; while waiting, they watch television, make peanut butter sandwiches, and become giddy with delight when Billy's girlfriend, Corrinna Stroller, drops by the apartment, Corrinna, you see, is a former actress and the nuns besiege her with questions about the "real" Hollywood. And indeed to the nuns' way of thinking the pope is just another manufactured celebrity, in the same category as a Cary Grant or a Mick Jagger, CONTINUED Page 5.. ..
