  • Wbt TOeStern Carolinian IOH E OF THE STUDENTS VOL. XXXVII, No. 51 Western Carolina University luesday, May 2, 1972 Cullowhee, N.C. in spirit JOHN CHAPPELL (left) is also known as Mark Twain (right). He will be here next Wednesday night, May 10 to play the one-man star of "Mark Twain Tonight," the role Hal Holbrook made famous on national television. Returning students $50 deposit due Students were being reminded Monday that a new $50 tuition/ fees deposit will be required of all students who intend to return to Western next fall. In a memorandum to faculty members, Acting President Frank H. Brown Jr. asked that a special announcement be read in all classes informing the students at all North Carolina public universities who expect to attend the next academic year. (New students, entering an institution for the first time, must post a $100 deposit.) The deposit will be applied against tuition fees charges for next fall. In hardship cases, waivers of the deposit may be granted if applications for waivers are approved by a special committee of which Dr. William E. Scott, University legal counsel, is chairman. The law specifies thatthede- CS.C conducts silent mourning The Committee For Social Change will be conducting a Silent Moratorium "in memory of those who have fallen." The moratorium, CS.C. spokesman said, will be in honor of all that have been killed "Be it because of bullets of enemies, the police, or of prejudicial social pressures. The C.S.C. is urging concerned students to wear black armbands Thursday, May 4, the anniversary of the killings at Kent State. posit must be paid before the end of the last regular term of the year preceding the year for which the deposit is being paid. This year, that means WCU students have until June 4 to pay the deposits. Until the deposit is paid, registration for next fall cannot be considered complete. Greek scholastic average tops non-frat performance Does belonging to a fraternity or sorority really mean a college student devotes more time to fun and games than to studies? A record being kept at Western Carolina University on the academic performance of men and women indicates that it doesn't. In fact, "Greek" women run up scholastic averages that very nearly match those of women who don't belong to the social organizations and fraternity brothers exceed non - fraternity members in performance. During the 1972 winter quarter, for instance, the overall quality point average for sorority women was 2.47 on a 4.0 scale, while the average for women not belonging to sororities was 2.50. For men, the value of belonging to a fraternity was even more positive. At the end of the quarter, men in WCU's seven social fraternities had a quality point average of 2.35 as against 2.30 for non-frater- Mark Twain here May 10 nity men. Most of the fraternity men live in off-campus frat houses. Most of the sorority women live in university residence halls. Phi Mu sorority sponsors a hike for Hope Hike for HOPE. Phi Mu Sorority is sponsoring a "Hike for HOPE," to raise money for the internationally known hospital ship. The 25-mile hike will be from Cullowhee to Cherokee. Phi Mu sisters say hikers don't have to hike the whole trip and tras- portation will be furnished from Cherokee back to Cullowhee. Potential hikers need a hike card, that can be picked up in on of the cafeterias any time this week, and a sponsor, that can be picked up with a little prodding. Each hiker must have a least CONTINUED Page 4.... Mark Twain, master of satire and sage of common sense is not really dead. His spirit, at least, lives on. John Chappell, a noted actor, will give evidence Thursday night, May 10 as he poses as Mark Twain in the very well received "Mark Twain Tonight," "Mark Twain Tonight" is sponsored by the Lecture, Con- Concert and Enterta inment Committee. Chappell comes to WCU boasting a long line of theatrical acomplishments. A- mong these arc two productions of Beckett's "Waiting for Godot," one of which he directed, the role of Harold P. Brown in D. Melmouth's world premiere of "The Great American Light War", the principal role of Governor John White in Lay- ton's production of America's longest-running outdoor drama, The Lost Colony, a part he was asked to repeat on film; and most recently a cameo appear" ance in "Light Up The Sky" at Atlanta's Maeorial Arts Center. Beginning work on his characterization of Mark Twain 1968. Chappell secured permission from Hal Holbrook, acclaimed creator of "Mark Twain Tonight!", to bring the Missouri sage to life in those towns and universities unlikely to ever see Holbrook himself. Chappell made his first appearance in July of '68 after literally months of work, including a painstaking study of the life and character of Samuel Clemens. He has made use of rare photographs of Mark Twain on loan from the Special Projects Division of NBC Television to create an accurate guide for the life-like makeup as well as detailed studies of the humorist's characteristic ways of sitting, standing, smoking, etc. The result has been an illusion so real that audiences are captivated and fall in love with Mark Twain himself. Critics have compared Chap- pell's performances with those of Holbrook's, withhighacclaim for both. Chappell's performances are never planned on a stock scale, but are selected bits of humor, short stories and events pieced together as he goes along, taken from over twelve hours of material In any event, it is ninety-nine per cent pure Twain. Originally from North Carolina, Chappell made his professional acting debut in 1957 at a summer stock playhouse in Dorset, Vermont, and has appeared in a number of professional stock and road companies, while continuing his edu cation. He has a B.S. in Math and Physics from Wake Forest and has since received two graduate degrees: a Bachelor of Divinity and a Master of Sacred Theology and is presently working on his PhD. at Emory University. Time and place of the performance will be announced later. "Foxfire" editor to speak here Eliot Wigginton, English teacher at Kabun Gap-Nacoo- chee School and editor of "Foxfire," a journal of Southern Appalachian culture and folklore, will speak May 11 at 8 p.m. in the lounge of Reynolds Residence Hall at Western Carolina University. Wigginton, whose recently- published anthology "The Foxfire Book" has received con= siderable national attention, will show slides illustratingthe self-sufficient aspect of mountain life. He also will tell how "Foxfire " came into being, how it is run, and what effects it has had on the students who publish it. "Foxfire" is a student = produced quarterly dedicated to the preservation of the Southern Appalachian heritage. Begun in 1966, it now has a circulation of more than 4,000 copies in all 50 states. Wigginton's appearance at WCU is sponsored by the Residence Hall Forum. His talk will be open to the public.
