XXXVII, No. 51 Tuesday, May 2, 1972 Weed growth It's not that we have anything against trailers, or mobile homes, or whatever you call them. There is a place for mobile homes. In Cullowhee, especially, where there is a desperate need for inexpensive housing (CAROLINIAN, Thursday, April 27), mobile homes are not just desirable, they're necessary. The point is, though, mobile homes have a place,, The place should not be anywhere and everywhere. Trailer parks are popping up faster than flowers. Lone trailers are popping up faster than trailer parks. In fact, trailers aren't the only eye sores that are growing from the earth at undesirable locations,, On Western Carolina's front- side juxtaposed the quaint little sign that has long impressed visitors on their first visit a Hardee's Hamburger "restaurant" will soon thrive. It will not be just a Hardee's, it will be the new, improved Hardee's with seating for 'leventy-some odd eaters. And, as we find no harm in trailers, we find no harm in Mr. Hardee and his new, improved model. It, too, has it's place. It is too late to do anything about the splattering of trailers and trailer parks and Hardee's hamburger restaurants. It is not too late, though, to keep more trailer parks from cluttering up Cullowhee and more quick-service chain restaurants from giving visitors indigestion before they even have a chance at viewing the campus. What Jackson County needs, before it looks like the Devil's Half-Mile (just west of Fayet- teville) is a zoning law. If Jackson County were zoned it someday being next to a rundown trailor, entrances and exits to campus would be protected and everything would be in its right place. The Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, Bruce Wike, said that he feels that a zoning law would be ten years before its time in Jackson. We don't think so. Wike said that areas like Cullowhee and Sylva might need to be zoned, but East LaPort ;md Glenville do not need to be zoned. East LaPort and Glenville could be zoned "Agricultural," though, and would not be bothered by any restrictions. If an area in Cullowhee was zoned for permanent housing with a minimun cost for a home being established a trailer in that zone could not be forced to leave. No more trailers could eneter the area, though. It would be protected. Wike said a petition would be a good method for the people to let the county commissioners know that a zoning law would be desirable, and the commissioners would probably not move for anything less, though it seems there should be an active interest for the apperance of the county. Before Western Carolina, Sylva and other parts of the county sink beyond help, some steps should be taken to save them. The first step should be a little prodding. Much more than that will be needed though, but the results will be well worth the effort if careless fertilization of eyesores is stopped. Tartuffe, a delightful voyage Sunday night I had the wonderful experience of viewing our Little Theatre's latest production, Moliere's "Tartuffe." This play is a delightful voyage back into history, and also a wonderful voyage into the satirical mind of Moliere. "Tartuffe" hosts a good view of period style theatre in both setting and stereotyped character roles and action. Direction by Miss Josefina Niggli was very good and there was constant balance on stage through set design, and movement and position of actors. The set for this play, designed by Cathy Dixon, lends itself greatly to the play in many ways. There is a subtleness in the color scheme which was very good, as it paralleled the subtleness of the underthought of the play. The lighting, designed by Fred Jones, is adequate. The set is well lit throughout the play, but seems to lack any creativity and ingenuity. The main thing that gives the light its effectiveness is the color of the set and the costumes. AU the characters were well portrayed, excepting a small few. Cleante, portrayed by Bill Smathers, lost much of his effect through too much rigidity of movement and repitition of some unlife- like gestures. Dan Spaugh's Tartuffe had very little. I felt this was a poor characterization of Tartuffe and did more to hinder the production than help it, Orgon, Brent Carter, was good, but tended to be overacted at times and lacked power in voice tone quality. Mollie Williams as Madame Pernelle is most certainly the most powerful character of the play. The rest of this extensive cast including Nancy Hammill as Elmire, Janus Yates as Dorine, Louis Bell as Damis, Mary Breker as Mariane, John Clark as Valere, Don Loeffler as Loyale, and Dan Smith and David Hearst as two officers, all played very good charac- DRAMA By WARREN WILKES terizations of their roles and are to be commended. One thing which I found disappointing was the playing down of the comedy. Many times the comic order is only hinted at by the actors, instead of being played to its fullest sense. The effect is that the play takes on more of a mood of farcity, rather than a mood of comedy. The subtleness of the lines should be run behind the comedy of the line, for it is through the comedy that this subtleness is generated. This was Moli ere's direction of point when he wrote the play, and should have been put to full advantage in this presentation. Because of the type of play that it is, with the loss of overpowering comedy there is also a loss of the true meaning of the lines and what Moliere wanted us, the audience, to see and feel. The play starts out with excellent vitality and seems to be building to an outstanding central and ending, but pace and energy levels lag through the middle of the show. It was nice to see the pace and vitality established in the beginning return at the end. A very strong climax and ending makes the show very effective. This show should be in top form by the middle of the week, and would prove to be an evening well spent, "Tartuffe" is a play everyone should see. It lends greatly to days of golden memory that we all shall one day cherish. TARTUFFE will be playing through Saturday evening.
