  • Thursday, February 10, 1972 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 5 Compliments to Marc To The Editor: Marc Pruett and the Student Government are to be congratulated for organizing and sponsoringthe Second Annual Bluegrass and Folk music Shindig. lie- spite unpleasant, embarassing and volatile interruptions from the audience, there was enough good music and fine performances to keep anyone humming for awhile. Marc deserves special appreciation for the way he handled the disturbances. Without his genial, calming influence from the stage, the evening could have become a very ugly affair. He has the much of a professional. The University rarelj has an opportunity such as this to sit with our working neighbors in the area and have a good time. Hopefully, we can do it again in the future, perhaps making the event an annual affair with possibly two days of m„sic and clogging. Perhaps in the future arrangements can be made to elevate the cloggingplat form so that everyone can see the feet of the performers. A place to the side might be provided for non-performers to dance. After all a tune like "Orange Blossom Special" is enough to make a lame man dance. The I CB might take the cue from the Bluegrass Shindig and invite some of the local groups at various times throughout the year to play for those who want to dance, or stomp their feet, or .just hum to mountain mjsic more than once a year. 1). Newton Smith Apology of all, the audience. Because of my error, I was ashamed to death to have visitors come to Cullowhee and see what kind of population we have here. So, Mr. Howell, I'm sorry. However, maybe you should write a letter to each of the visitors and performers explaining the incident. It could be that they got the wrong impression too. A Violent Spectator, Everett Stiles Ri, 3 Waynesville Thanks To the Editor: In Tuesday's editorial Jim Howell explained the capers of Mr. Buzzard & Company Saturday night as 'venting their pent-up excitement.' I want to apologize for my actions as I had the wrong impression. It struck me that Buzzard & Company were just a bunch of immature long hairs that got up to show off and to show their disrespect for the music, the performers, and most The Western Carolinlvn Published twice weekly through the academic year and weekly during the summer bythe students of Western Carolina University.

To The Editor; I would like to express my thanks to everyone v\!io had a part in making the "Bluegrass and Folk Music Shindig" the overall success that it was. Special notice should go to the effort put forth by Dean Dawson, Doug Arnold and Karl D. Hubbs. All of the performers asked me to relay the word that they enjoyed this year's show and are looking forward to the next. My hopes are that everyone who attended enjoyed it. Marc Pruett Banquet gone To The Editor: Well ladies and gentlemen it has come to pass. The Western Carolina Annual Sports Banquets are now a thing of the past. It Is well known that the money situation is tight at WCU and this is especially true of the athletic department. Ihe athletics problem seems to have develped from someone's inability to look into the future, In ihe past few- years money has been spent without regard for future problems arising as a result. There are many athletes at WCI playing in 'minor" sports thu receive no major recognition for their contributions u> the school, The sports banquet was the only time that they really received anything except for an occasional ''good game" or "lough luck.'' The banquets are something of value to these athletes. It seems that the department should have thought of this be fore they proceeded to blow their funds. In ihe major sports many of the athletes receive compensation in the form of granl-in aids, so maybe they wouldn't miss the banquets. But, what about those who don't receive anything'/ It seems only fair that these ban quels should come before such things as carpeting in the athletic dorm, or coats and slacks for a. team to travel in, Signed, Lnderpaid and Overworked « omin* Next Week Faculty Opinion An editorial by a prominent member of the faculty. The insane Artaud It was with dismay that 29-yea.- old Antonin Artaud read the letter from lac- que Riviere of "Nouvelle Revue Fran- caise" in 19:!3 rejecting three poems Artaud had submitted for publication. But unlike most rejection notes, Editor Riviere expressed a desire to meet the mini who had composed such my sterious- ly vague verse as that of Artaud. Artaud accepted, and after Riv ierehad conversed with the strange poet, he decided to publish Xrtaud's poems not on the basis of their worth, but because the editor was so taken by his intense efforts at groping for expression, efforts which proved futile whenever words were involved. I nderstandably, Artaud quit writing poetry shortly after his meeting with Riviere, and turned to the theatre. He began acting bit parts in minor playsbut- quickly became a polished performer, only to leave acting two years later; the creative impulses which drove Artaud were not quelled, fcfter a short relationship with the surrealists U924-27), he began conceiving his own kind of theatre, a theatre (and a style of drama) which would discard plays of words in favor of plays of "true expression." By 193"), Antonin Artaud had given birth to his revolutionary concepts, which he labeled the "Theatre of ( ruelty.'' Denying the theatre of words which had dominated Occidental theatre from its beginnings, Artaud called for a theatre of pure expression, which had as its essence gestures, incantations, drum rhy thms, and views of pure emotions. Since existence is a cruelty, said Artaud, in which man must cower to the natural forces of the universe, so should the stage, the mirror of life, reflect this cruelty. Since the emotions and expressions of man cannot at all be described by words, the mirror should represent pure life - without what Artaud considered the petty parley s and absurd aphorisms of even Shakespearean drama, Artaud gathered his manifestoes of the theatre to form EE THEATRE ET SON DOUBLE, This succinct credo of Artaud states that Occidental man should realize that the theatre of the Orient, with its mystifying dances, music, rhythms, and expressionistic studies in life, is the most consummate achievement in theatre an. And on the basis of Oriental drama (as well as a trip to Mexico in 1936), the Theatre of Cruelty dictates that a floor-level stage be placed in the middle of a large building around which the audience would be gathered, with smaller stages in the four comers of the room. As the characters changed stages, so would the audience, to the point that all spectators became participants in the action. Huge colored lights, surrealistic sets, and awesome special effects which could easily represent a cataclysm were to be employed, since the stages were to mirror the universe. Great drums and horns enlarged twenty times their actual size were called for. And as material for his theatre, Artaud wrote several plays (which have since been performed quite effectively, incidentally), such as "The Cenci," "A Spurt of Blood," "There are No Heavens Any More," and ''The Life and Death of the Late Satan." Though it will come as no surprise for the reader to learn that Antonin Artaud DRAMA Bv SAM YOINC was considered insane, and because of that fact was bounced from one asy turn to another during the I940's until his death in 191s, no one in his right mind (call it a contradiction if you wish) can dismiss his concepts as the ravings of a madman. Indeed, such eminent •playwrights as Samuel Beckett have employed bits of Artaudian technique. But no doubt M. Artaud would have demanded total borrowing instead, for the dramatic proposals of Antonin Artaud represent some of the most tenacious attempts at theatrical oneness in World Drama, attempts which have not gone in vain. JUNGLE from Page 4 ...Speaking of dogs, Western Carolina has its share. A new one has taken up residence in the post office. lie's a new one because he doesn't ha e big hangy-down ears like the old one who used to live there. Folks called the old one AIRPLANE, but ! tiintt he flunked out. Word is thai the new one was once a prime hunting dog named SAEES. His hill-country owner loaned him out to hunters who reaped gobs of game from his talents. But, alas, one day a city- slicker came around and misunderstanding his name called SALES MANAGER. His owner says he hasn't been able to get the dog to work a lick since. Thirty, QUOTABLE QUOTES: "I ameer- win, I have friends, my fortune is secure, my relations will never abandon me, I shall have justice done me, my work is good, it will be well received, what is owing to me will be paid; my friend will be faithful, he has sworn it; the minister will advance me-he has, bv the way, promised it-all of these are words which a man who has lived a short time in the world erases from his dictionary." -Voltaire "Bad plays don't die, they're merely revived by college little theatres." -Dan Dietz in "The Last Refuge," THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN, November 3, 1966.
