  • Vvesref^i EJm^eiIljNiiaM VOICE OF THE STUDENTS VOL. XXXVIII No. 36 Thursday February 22, 1973 Western Carolina University Cullowhee, North Carolina Activities Cut Back At U.C. Due to the fact that there are fewer students attending WCU this year than projected, the A.K, Hinds University Center budget has come up 823,000 short. The budget is largely financed with a SlO per quarter student center fee from all full-tim; students.- With enrollment down, their anticipated budget was not realized, Baxter Wood, director of the University Center said, "unfor- ornately,1' activities would be cut down, but not U,C. "services," The U.C, will no longer offer any arts andcraftsorbridge and chess lessons. Also to feel the money shortage is the information desk, which will now be in service only at night. Wood said that student salaries exceeding the budget were brought "back" in line." The number of students being hired for part-time work was being cut back, as well as the amount of hours being worked. Only 4964 full-time students were enrolled at WCU this past Fall Quarter, Wood stated. This figure is lower than the anticipated average, and has dropped even lower, 4513 , for Winter quarter. Spring quarter is estimated to be about 100 lower than Fall quarter, Wood said. Other unexpected expenditures have also contributed to the tight budget squeeze, Wood noted. Defender Found In Contempt Public Defender Wayne Cooper was found in contempt of court for "dereliction of duty" in last night's session of Student Traffic Court, ChLef Justice Bill Bird said that several cases could not be heard because of Cooper's failure to appear in Court, In the cases that were tried, defendants handled their own defense, with Attorney General Chris Troutman for the prosecution. Cooper was given until March 1st to pay his fines, or five work hours to. be worked off by March 16th„ In ticket appeal cases, David McMurray, James Welborn, Jr., and Linda Allred were all found not guilty. Chief Justice Bird announced that the next session of Traffic Court will be held Wednesday, Feb. 28th at 7 p.m, in the Catamount Room. Joyce Farwell as Dorabella and Orville Wike as Gugliel- mo are caught in a scene from this week's production of'- the Mozart opera "Cosi Fan Tutte." Performances will be held Thursday and Friday, Feb. 22-23, at 7:30 prn in Hoey Auditorium. Cosi Fan Tutte: A Review Bv Jerri Beck As "Cosi Fan Tutte" opens tonight in Hoey Auditorium at Western Carolina University, opera fans and chauvinists a- like will have an event to enjoy. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart based his opera on the premise that women are inconsistent (always), Once this has been "established," three men anda maid set out to prove the "unfaithfulness" of women by using trickery and deceit, Joyce Farwell and Leith Wike as the engaged sisters, Dorabella and Fiordiligi respectively, are more than able to handle the musical demands of their roles and have fairly consistent character projections, There is a degree of awkwardness from time to time, especially when the sisters are supposed to be fluttcry or upset. Orville Wike appears a Gug- lielmo with a nice touch of dash and. swagger. Although his characterization is not so polished as some in the opera, he has a good feel for the role and brings credibility to the deceptive suitor, Tie other suitor, Ferrando, is portrayed by Temple Smith, whose age seems to fluctuate (appearancewise) from scene to scene. As the opera opens, he appears to be a yellowish old man. However, as the deception unfolds, his apparent age begins to drop. The two major supporting roles are, perhaps, the two destined to steal the show, Edgar vom Lehn as Don Alfonso and Janis Dellinger as Despina have the most stage presence of the cast members. Their scenes together are well-paced and each gives full measure as the perpetrators of the hoax. Despina has the weakest voice of the cast, but nothing is lost in her portrayal of the ladies' maid working against them, Chorus members are Becky Adams, Susan Brown, Chris Cole, Vicki Cornelius, DcmgDe- For UNC System Court Orders Desegregation The University of North Carolina system may be in jeopardy of losing millions of dollars of Federal funds as the result of a desegregation ruling handed down last Friday by U. S. Judge John H, Pratt in Washington, D.C, The ruling came as a result of a suit filed by the NAACP Legal Defense fund against the U, S, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, The suit had asked that the department be required to cut off funds for school systems not complying with desegregation guidelines. Jarrett, Stan DeJarrett, Allen Freeman, Karen Furno, Barry Gaskey, Am,. Hicks, Danny Ho'.- loman, William Hubbard, Dar- ryll Jones, Yvonne McKinney, Clare Nesmith, Rose Pleasant and Beverly Rose. Dr, Donald Loeffler, head of the department of speech and theatre arts, directed the satire, with lights and set design?d by Richard Beam, It is a good beginning for opera on a campus that has lacked its own operatic productions , relying on outside performers. Many who have not heard opera before and manv who do not care for Italian operas, can enjoy the English version of an old standby, There are some beautiful scenes, where everything seems to work and the plot is well developed. Dr. James Dooley directs the orchestra, which is a vital and deeply entertaining part of the presentation. "Cosi Fan Tutte" shows tonight and Friday night in Hoey Auditorium, with tickets available by calling293-7491 or writing the Department of Speech and Theatre Arts. Tickets are Sl.25 for adults, 75 cents for high school students and 50 cents for children. Reservations are required. The box office will be open at 6:45 on evenings of production and curtain time is 7:30 prompt, With minor problems of understanding some of the lyrics, hearing all the lines and frailty of the premise of the opera, Cosi Fan Tutte can be an enjoyable introduction to self- staged opera on the WCU campus. The costumes are beautiful, the music is grand and the set appropriate. Even constant, faithful women whose suitors do not devise plans for deceiving them and suitors who never doubt their true love's devotion will find Cosi Fan Tutte a fun production. Desegregation enforcement hearing on schools and colleges in 16 Southern states were ordered to begin within 60 days, but the Nixon Administration is expected to appeal the order before that time. Dr. William Friday, UNC President, will analyze the ruling. He said Wednesday night that the state of North Carolina has been working on a desegregation plan since 1969, "The assumption that the state has totally ignored the integration problem is erroneous," he stated, Friday said he first became aware of the case last November when Judge Pratt issued a decision stating that HEW had not "properly fulfillled its obligation" in requiring compliance with the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Friday was not sure of the exact significance and mean ing of this "multi-million dollar problem," N, C, Assistant Attorney General Andrew Vanore said Pratt's ruling came as a "shock" to him because he was unaware that a case was pending involving North Carolina, Vanore said he had not been notified about the matter and he was "not sure that any state supported institution knew about it, because they would have let me know." Vanore has handled most of the cases dealing with the state's university system. The Asheville "city"school system was included in the order and officials there were equally bewildered, "I can't understand it," said John Q, Schell, chairman of the Asheville school board, "Asheville has received praise from federal officials for its desegregation," Pres. To Get Study The delegation sent by UNC President William C, Friday- has completed its study of the feud between Chancellor Jack K, Carlton and the petitioning faculty members of Western Carolina University, Leaving Cullowhee on Tuesday after the completion of their study, the committee returned to Chapel Hill with their report for Dr. Friday. Having come to WCU at the request of the faculty petitioners, Friday's representatives met individually with all the members of the Faculty-Administration Senate and student body vice president Barry Dod- son, The Committee's interviews were completed after two days of investigation, UNC academic affairs vice- president Raymond H. Dawson, one of the three representatives from Chapel Hill, said in a letter to Dr, David A. Mat- hewes, vice chairman of the WCU Faculty-Administration Senate that "the discussions .... will provide for President Friday a clearer understanding of the problems involved" at WCU. Dawson went on to say that the senate "will hear from the President within the next several days." Reaching Dr. Friday in his Chapel Hill home last night, the Western Carolinian learned that the UNC president had not yet received the report from his representatives. Friday said he had been in Raleigh all day "tied down with the legislative budget," Friday said he wouldbe meeting with the study group today to get their report. Until that time he said he "will not me.ke any comment" concerning the CONTINUED Page 8 . . , .
