  • V/ESTlEf$l CJu^pLAlAlI VOICE OF THE STUDENTS VOL. XXXVIII No. 26 Thursday November 16, 1972 Western Carolina University Cullowhee, North Carolina Reader's Theater Continues Wednesday night the Little Theater held two productions of the Readers' Theater, "We sing of Earth" and "The Hairy Falsetto." The first of the productions, "We sing of Earth," was billed as " a collection of poems, chants, and prayers from primitive peoples all over the world." More accurately, the play by Judy Karen Ashe seems to be Thoreauvian idealization of a primitive golden age. Nevertheless, the abstraction managed to be both credible and consistent, as well as a thought - provoking vehicle by which the audience could reevaluate the role of man in his environment. Predictably, the play ended with a warning that man could learn to coexist with nature or die; however the superb dialogue and poetic beauty of the speeches elevated the production far a- bove the level of atypicalback- to - nature diatribe. In fact, the play seemed fresh throughout. The cast, Cynthia Knopp, Dan» ttete McYoung, Dianne Trudeau, Bobby Funk, and Earl Willis, all did a creditable job in a dificult medium. Judy Karen Ashe, who also directed the play was as successful as a director as a writer, which is intended as no small compliment to the WCU student, "The Hairy Falsetto," the second production of the night, was a refreshing change of pace, being a genuinely funny play which ended the night's presentations on a high note. "The Hairy Falsetto" was a riotous, rollicking play about the trial of the Big Bad Wolf in the Red Riding Hood story. The cast was superb, particularly Linda Black who played a malapropism-mongering Grandma. There was never a dull moment throughout the production as Black and the rest of the cast, Jody Kirpatrick, Anne Robbins, Bert Zipperer, Anna Kelly, and Mike Dean fired line after line punctuated by fusillades of laughter from the audience. B.B.B. President To Speak Daniel Packard, president of the Asheville Better Business Bureau, will discuss the Bureau and how it can help the consumer on Monday, Nov. 20, atl0:30am in the Forsyth Auditorium. The Consumer Service Center of WCU, local consumer advisory is sponsoring the program for all interested people. Packard will also discuss the use of arbitration to settle grievances between consumers and merchants. CONTINUED Page 2 . . . .

Paul Smith) Superior Court Hears Three Cases The Student Superior Court Tuesday night, November 14, found Thomas Haught and Leslie Queen not guilty of unseemly conduct in connection with a shaving cream fight in Buchanan Hall. Thomas Haught and Leslie Queen pled not guilty. John Beatly, Buchanan Resident Hall Assistant, appeared as a witness for the prosecution. He reported that on October 19, at about 11:50 pm, he found Haught and Queen in the hall "covered with shaving cream." William Cox, Buchanan Resident Assistant, also appeared as a prosecution witness, Jerry Kiefer, charged with littering of universityproperty, pled not guilty. He was seen on October 19th throwing paper airplanes out a window in New Men's Hall. David Gruen, witness for the prosecution and coordinator of New Men's Hall, said they have had "quite a bit of problems" this year concerning littering. In her closing address, Attorney General Christine Troutman cited the Utter problem all over the world, and suggested work hours in cleaning up around New Men's Hall. Kiefer was found guilty and given ten work hours. The last case of the night concerned George Queen. Charge with possession and firing of fireworks, he pled not guilty. He was cited with setting off a firecracker at 11:30 pm on October 25 outside Benton Hall. Appearingas a witness for the prosecution, Russell Henson, Benton resident assistant, said that he "could not prove anything," but took them to talk to the Hall Coordinator. Assistant Coordinator for Albright-Benton Hall, Keith Elliott said he talked to the defendant and the two men with him concerning the rules on fireworks. He also said he heard Queen admit to throwing the firecracker. Prosecution witness Frank Stora, also Queen's roommate, said he did not see Queen throw the firecracker. He added that Queen admitted to throwing the firecracker and he was with Queen during the incident. Matt Ketchum for the prosecution, said he was "raising hell" on the night of the incident, was with the defendent, and heard Queen admit to throwing the firecracker. John Marshall, prosecution witness, Assistant Director of Housing and Coordinator of Benton Hall, said Queen admitted to doing it. George Queen, witnessing for the defense, said he "did not do it." He added that he had been "worried for his life," because someone had threatened his life. Russell Henson was recalled for further questioning. Attorney General Troutman, in closing, reminded the court of the charge of fireworks, and the regulations concerning the rule. George Queen was found guilty and sentenced to Citizenship Probation thru the end of Fall Quarter 1973 and work hours. David Friedland and Maskel Bidingfeld were cited for violations of Prohibitive Behavior CONTINUED Page 2..., Higher Land Prices Seen Within ten years most middle class Americans will be excluded by rising prices from owning land except for small lots, a professor of land utilization at the University of Rhode Island said here Wednesday. Speaking at a land-use planning symposium at Western Carolina University, Dr. Edward C. Higbee said that land values have risen so sharply that no farmer who now owns land could afford to buy that land for farmland use. Dr. Higbee blamed suburbanization on lack of planning for what he termed "economic segregation" of the American people. "The agrarian tradition in this country is well on its way to extinction," he said. "Two- thirds of the U.S. population is urban now, and 37 per cent of the total live in suburbs." "As communities go downhill, those who can afford to do so move out," he said. "Others, who can afford nothing better, move in. Thus, a large percentage of our population is destined to live in shoddy circumstances." The demand for second homes and the resulting boom in land development is bringing about the disappearance of the small farm, Dr. Higbee said. In North Carolina, which ranks second in the nation in the number of small farms, the number of farm owners has decreased by half in the past 15 years. Dr. Higbee, who served for eight years as a soil conservationist and senior agronomist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, has been a consultant to the Congressional Committee on Environmental Quality and to the Brookings Institute. He has been a member of the President's Advisory Group on Domestic Affairs, and has written several books on agriculture, city planning, and land use, Ronald F, Scott, state planning officer of the North Carolina Department of Administration, said the state has historically regarded land-use planning as a job for local government. "Local government has been authorized to engage in land- use regulation for some 50 years," he said, "butwestern counties have made relatively little use of this enabling legislation." Scott predicted that the next federal Congress would pass a land use bill to encourage the states to take additional action. Other speakers at the daylong symposium were Ben Taylor, president of Envirotek, Inc., of Raleigh; Mitch Clary, Waynesville area conservationist for the U.S. Soil Conservation Service; Thomas Day, vice president of Wachovia Bank and Trust Co. in Hayesville; Efavid Simpson, senior sanitarian for the Macon County Board of Health; John Cameron, assistant secretary for transportation planning in the N.C. Department of Transportation; and Gaylord Yost, assistant supervisor for planning for the U.S. Forest Service of N.C. in Asheville. The symposium was sponsored by Title I Planning and Zoning in Western North Carolina, Western Carolina University, and the WCU chapter of Students Concerned About Population and the Environment. Veteran's Assistance Phone Hours Extended Veterans and others desiring information about benefits administered by the Veterans Administration may now call the Regional Office Veterans Assistance Division between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, except on legal holidays. This announcement was made by H.W, Johnson, Director of the North Carolina Veterans Administr- ationRegional Office, Winston- Salem, N.C. This extension of telephone service will permit veterans and others an additional hour and fifteen minutes each day to obtain information from the Veterans Administration. The telephone number is 919-723- 9211, Calls must be at the expense of the caller as collect calls cannot be accepted by the Veterans Administration. Johnson stated further that this test is being conducted to determine if there is a need for extended hours of telephone service on a permanent basis. Veterans and others are invited to take advantage of this extended telephone service as it is the VA's desire to make this service available to those whose hours of work have kept them from being able to call before 4:45 pm.
