  • Thursday, May 11, 1972 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 5 'Case - Church Amendment' Push, push If ! i are one of my regular r To The Editor: This letter is in reference to several posters which have attached to them petitions in support of the •"Case-Church Amendment," (Note: Essentially, what this amendment will do is cut off all funds for U.s, military involvement and aid in the hostilities of the Indo-China Confillct at the end of this year on the condition that our prisoners of war are released bv N. Vietnam.) These posters were pal up with one thought in mind. It is simplv to allow the students of this university to put their names where their "peace patches" are with as little effort or bother as possible. All a student has to do to register a personal disapproval of U.S. conduct in the Indo-China War is to sign his name to a piece of paper which will be sent directly to our congressmen in Washing! m. So, my fellow students if you happen to come upon a pos:er with the word 'READ-." on it take a minute to read i.he amendment, If you agree with it sign ihe petition. If not then thanks an;, way for your taking final exams and from classes until later that year. In February of 1968 three college students were killed on S. C. State campus and the situation was about same at Kent State ex cept the students were Black and it happened at night. These students were harassing the patrolmen and they too had no guns. All they had were rocks and things of that nature. The students at Kent State are dead and there is nothing you or I can do to bring them back. I'm not condoning or condemning the guardsmen at Kent State but I think it is lime for you, the white students, to take the bitter with sweet because we, as Black people always have, What 1 am trying to get across to the white students in the U.S, and maybe the world is that if the students at Kent were Black you would not give a DAMN. So quit trying to play the Thanks," Steve Williams But t the be silent because over a half mil Vietnamese orphans mn of peace" t.io.- Thank you. a "gener-i Gary's, Richardson Varoom vs. verse 'Two years ago' is a joke To The Editor, The article "Two years ago today," which appeared on the front page of The Western Carolinian is a big joke. I think the white people of America have blown the Kent State situation out of proportion. At about the same time of the Kent State "Massacre" there were Black students being killed in Jackson Mississippi, they too were college students. Reports prove that over one hundred bullets were fired into a girl's dorm. In May of 1969 the National Guard invaded A & T 's campus in Greensboro and killed two students. These guardsmen came on the campus with tanks. Now I ask was that necessary? A & T students were dismissed from Write the editor P.O. Box 66 Letter! 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 nave 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 Varroomm motors are fine for kids, but they have no place in the classrooms of Western Carolina University, Invariably though, every spring and summer the piston panging contraptions force their way into lectures on Paradise Lost, Metabolism, or something or the other. The University's master plan calls for a walking campus sometime in the future, but what about the meantime. IX) we just concede that noisy interruptions are a vital part of University life and instruct professors to include them in their lesson plans? Or, will someone take some action now? Truthfully—is it necessary that the lawns be mowed during the busiest class hours? Especially in the areas around McKee and Stillwell where there is already a constant bombardment from the roads. Why not forgo the mow ing until late in the afternoon, after all, we are now on daylight savings timeB Mow on Saturday. Put down artificial turf. But please, don't mix Shakespeare with Pratt and Whitney. And how about the new signs that proclaim QL'IKT DUHING CLASS HOURS? Perhaps the Security Patrol would be a lit" tie more meaningful to University life by spending a little less time writing parking tickets (to desperate students and faculty) and a little more time chasing down Sam Muffleloud or Dilbert Deafcycle, Toll the cement truck drivers and the Macks that we don't offer degrees in heavy equipment operation or professional truck driving, so they can learn to cool it on campus. Tell them that if they don't comply, they'll be forced to sit on the front row at a hard rock concert as a penalty. But don't misunderstand. Noise is no big thing. Just because a student pays his dues an instructor is trying to teach, the students can't hear him,the instructor is inconvienced and angry, the students are inconvienced and angry. It's no big thing. JWR ders (I hope I have one somewhere), you have noticed that I rarely say anything derogatory about any work or artist. That is part and parcel of my whole attitude towards music. I believe music belongs to everyone, that it is entirely a positive effort, and every note is a good thing for someone somewhere. The people I would attack are the pseudo-musicians who attempt to exploit the honest appreciation of a music-loving people. Only in rare in- suuices could I say any work was a As I place musicians and singers in a lofty position, I would place Herbie Mann equally as high in the thus created hierarchy, Mann is an unusual performer on several points and a highly accomplished one in even more. An evolutional chart of his career would show him moving from saxophonist to flutist to bandleader to sponsor of other musicians, producer of recordings, executive in a series of music-related business ventures. All of these endeavors have proven to be artistically as well as eco« nomically rewarding. Known primarily as a jazz flutist today, Mann's beginning goes back to MUSIC June, 1959 when he organized an Afro- Jazz Sextet for an owening at a New York club. In 1960, under the auspices of the State Department, he and his Afro- Cuban group toured fifteen African countries. The following year he played in Brazil where he was influenced by the then new bosso nova movement. Also in 1961, he got his first real exposure to the American audience. At the Village Gate in New York City, he proved his basic and fascinating artistic ability. His engagement there has been hailed as a milestone in Jazz because of the experimentation that he employed. The versatility that was so exciting in '61 has proven to be the maintaining factor in keeping him in the forefront of the Jazz field. One interesting point about Herbie Mann, a white, is that he has always been associated with black music and mu- scians. Competing in this field saturated with talent, black and white, is not the simplest of chores. It only heightens his achievements to consider some of the artists among which he has maintained himself. A very few of these would be Eddie Harris, Yusef Latef, Roland Kirk, Les McCann, and Charles Lloyd, In his current offering, "Bush Push," Mann continues to be the innovative talent that has kept him durable since 1959. The performances range from his own composition of "Bush Push" to the Ray Charles classic "Whafd I Say", He offers us Duane AUman and David Spin- oya on guitars for a fresh taste but maintains the Mann quality thatrunslike a golden thread through each cut. I would compare Herbie Mann himself to a thread running through and interlacing all of the various splinter styles of contemporary music. A thirteen year tenure in the marathon music business has a basis in some valid concept, Eor Mann it has been never dwelling too long on the same musical concept, never wearing out his welcome with a given idiom or particular instrumental set-up. "1'ush Push" is seen then as another manifestation of hisabil- ity and as his attitude towards that ability. Nominations for the forthcoming Cullowhee Normal and Industrial School Awards are now being taken. If you know some whacko, dingbat, person, place or thing that deserves one of the coveted awards, then write the CAROLINIAN at Box 66. Be sure to include the name of the award to be bestowed. Happy Hunting. IP T*C WHOLE BLOVW5 i'^/vJOM'T H*Jt| TO STOfcO ' *0* HMrNV-S-. . iiiiimiiiMiuww
