  • He OTesitern Carolinian VOICE OF THE STUDENTS VOL. XXXVII, No. 54 Thursday, May 11 , 1972 Western Carolina University Cullowhee, N.C. Removal requested s: Issui Board from housing list Ej£ Notice of discrimination possible reason The University Apartments have been removed from the off-campus housing list in the Housing Office by themanager's request, Housing Director Tyler Combs said yesterday. Combs said that the request came a day or so after the manager, Cris Burrell had been notified by Tony Johnson that a group of students felt Burrell was discriminating against Blacks. Johnson, a special student at Western Carolina, was a member of a speech class that was "Foxfire ed here tonight The editor of the nationally-known "little magazine," "Foxfire," will speak in the lounge of Reynolds Residence Hall tonight at 8 p.m. Eliot Wigginton is an English teacher at Rabin Gap-Nacoochee School and has been editing the magazine since 1966, when it was founded. "Foxfire" is dedicated to the preservation of the Southern Appalachian heritage and is student published. It has a circulation of a- bout 4,000 in all 50 states. Johnson's group chose racial discrimmination as its topic. He said that two students, a Black male and a white fe- tnale, posed as a married couple and visited some landlords in the area. When the students contacted the University Apartments, Johnson said, they were told apartments were available for the summer. When they visited, though, their names were put ona waiting list. Later, Johnson said, two white students posing as a married couple visited University Apartments. He was one of the two students. "We could have signed a lease that night," he said. The group Johnson was in notified the Housing Office of the project and received advice from the department of Business Law. They wrote Burrell explaining the project lad ie'uighim they felt he was prvj'.;•' 13 rv- cial discrimmination. "I was preparing a letter to Mr. Burrell, " Dr. Combs said, ' 'explaining to him that his namo was to be removed from the housing list. I got his letter first, though." policies explained DICK ROBINSON Questions on deposit answered by attorney Three points concerning the $50 tuition deposit returning students must pay before the end of the quarter were clarified by William E. Scott, Jr., university attorney. Scott is also the chairman of the committee that must decide on requests for waivers. In a memorandum to Dean Cecil Brooks, Scott made the following points: —A student who has been approved for any type of financial aid and desires the deposit waived must make appli cation to the waiver committee. This also applies to graduate students who will receive teaching or research assistant- ships. —The deposit of $50 applies only to students taking a full load. Students taking less than a full load will depostl h prorated amount. Students taking at least 1/2 but less than full will pay $25. Those taking less than 1/2 will pay $15. This applies to both graduates and undergraduates. University CONTINUED ON Page 8 . . .. Friday aide gives talk By DON BRADY The new consolidated North Carolina University system wiU have little effect on the WCU student, said Dick Robinson at a Forum in Albright Benton Dorm Wednesday night. Robinson is personal secretary to Dr. William Friday, the president of the new 16 campus university system. Robinson said that the consolidation is for two purposes. The first is to eliminate the politics concerned with North Carolina universities. Until now, those universities with the most alumni in the state legislature had an advantage over the other universities when they submitted their budgets. Under the new system, this situation will be eliminated. The second reason for consolidation is to cut down waste. Robinson pointed out that the state now produces more people in some fields than the state can use. It is hoped that the new system will control the graduate school program in North Carolina so that the state will not over produce in any field. The new system will consolidate all six UNC campuses with the ten regional universities in the state but the names of each university will remain the same. CONTINUED ONPage 8 . . .. As Mark Twain Chappell captivating By MAKILYN CHANDLER The spirit of Mark Twain does indeed still live, as was evident last night, as John Chappell gave an exciting performance as Mark Twain in "Mark Twain Tonight" before a capacity audience in Hoey Auditorium,, Chappell has made detailed studies of Mark Twain's characteristic ways of sitting, standing, and smoking as well as an almost evil little laugh which he inserts in critical spots during his monologue. His life like make=up gives the impression of Mark Twain just stepping off a Mississippi Riverboat. The illusion was so real that the audience fell in love with Mark Twain himself. Chappell invoked laughter, as well as thought, with his satire on the generation gap, politics, smoking and reporters. One of the high points of his performance was his lecture to the young perple of the country advising them, among other things, to use temperance in telling lies and manipulation of parents' moods. He did a satire on interviews and nosey reporters with now truthful, now evasiveanswers throwing a nervous reporter, portrayed by Chappell, completely off the track. He brought the house down with his stories about stealing watermelons, listening to old timers tell stories, and other Mark Twain material characteristic of "Roughin' It" and "Huckleberry Finn". He was full of reasonable advice on any subject and gave the audience the impression of participating in a casual conversation with his question, "Do you mind if I smoke" before lighting his cigar and calmly informing the audience whenever it went out. No performance is ever complete without a grand finale and Chappell's came in the form of a ghost story, one of Mark Twain's favorite pastimes. The mood was set by turning off the house lights, the only light on stage beinga small candle in front of Chappell while he told his story. The audience was captivated (except for a few nervous giggles) and shocked, even though the ending was expected, by the full stage lights on Chappell and his sudden leap from his chair for the ending. Chappell made his exit like a typical Southern gentleman with frankness, openness, and no attempt at modesty - typically Mark Twain, we wonder.
