  • THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday, July 26, 1973 page 3 Wandering About Campus Confessions Of Opium Eater 'Where's Charley?' Now At Highlands Playhouse by Grady W. Burgin Children, what I am about to relate should not be construed to refer to any person living or dead, real or imaginary mainly because I just don't remember enough to be sure of what was and what wasn't. I have this friend see, Crazy Eddie by name and he... well he is .. uh». .he is a goddamn nut is what he is. A four star, tied dyed Cullowhee vintage fruitcake that takes pictures for some outfit that makes dirty Frenchpostcards. Anyway, this friend invites me over to his place one Saturday night. "Just a little cheese and wine." He told me," and someconver= sation with some people he knew." And being very wet behind the ears, I go, more fool me, I go and I havnt stopped going since. Anyway, I get over to his place just after dark. . .place did I day? You ever seen a house that is two stories high in the front and back and roughly one and a half stories in the middle. Covered with Poison Ivy?This joint had to come off of a Hollywood back lot where they make those old vampire flicks. I was just gonna get back in the truck and get the hell out of there when he hollers at me from an upstairs window to come on up. So being polite, but mainly being caught, I go up and am introduced to a lot of strange people who are sitting around drinking beer and grinning at each other. It is at this point that memory begins to fail me. I recollect someone hauling out and unwrapping a lot of plastic bags and tinfoil things and someone handing me a beer that had to be 110 degrees. I asked about the beer and was told that someone named Suzy had been trying to hatch it for three days. After that the joint filled up with a strange smelling smoke and I was just about to hollar fireandr<w when I discovered that I might be real nice to see a big blaze and I began to look forward to it.... I knew two things. First, that I was alive because being dead wouldn't hurt so much. Second, l knew it was morning because the light was coming through the window like ice picks. I very quickly discovered some more things in raid order, one, I didn't know where I was, two, I didn't know who I was, and three, I didn't know how I got= ten here but I figured I was home because my parakeets were making more noise than a handgrenade going off in a chicken house. I looked out the window and discovered a fourth thing, I drive and own a truck of which I am inordinately fond of. The truck wasn't in the drive way. Something that looked like a cross between a Ford tractor and a Chevrolet sedan was. I figured maybe I should call Crazy Eddie and find out where I had left my truck. I [Tor food • d i st i net I y\ f different from country cuisine, the ubi- (quitous burger * other customaryi Quickies, comeA \fo Court MilL Inn.... Here, I the food, service andS atmosphere are without was surprized to realize that I knew his phone number. I very shakily dialed it. It rang a long time before this guy answers. "Ed?" I ask. "Where are you," says this voice, "We been worried." "I was at your place last night," I said irritated. "That," he replied dryly, "was four days ago." "My God, what day is this?" "Wednesday," he saidand you better call the Sheriff." "Why", I asked holding my head. "Cause he had got your truck," he replied. "I was just going to ask you where I had left it," I began hopefully. "The wrecker pulled it out of the ladies ready-to-wear department of Belks in Sylva," he said. "Belks?" I asked. "Yeah," he went on, "and he wants to ask about Suzy too." "Suzy? who is ... 7" "You married her Saturday night before she left for Tang- 161* S " "Listen, Ed, I don't think.,." "You remember, dummy," he went on, "it was just before we went over to the school and burned down... "I don't think I want to hear anymore Ed..." "Listen," he went on undaunted, "Do you have a Chevrolet sedan?" "Sort of," I replied feeling sick. "Thye are looking for that too," he said satisfied, "it seems it was involved in a wreck with a truck carrying manure in Dillsboro, They are still trying to clean up the streets." "Who does it belong to?", I said beginning to get hysterical. "The Mayor of Asheville," he replied. "Asheville, goddamn Asheville?" I screamed, "What the hell was I... " "Hijacking a piper cub to Rio de Janero, it crashed into a whore house before you got through." Thats where you got the car." "Car?" "The Mayors car, he was in the whorehouse, he was running around with no clothing on for two hours trying to find it," "Oh dear God," I intone. "Don't sweat that," said Crazy Eddie, "its the FBI I would worry about if I were you." It wasn't so bad about the girl in Arkansas but that stunt in Missouri was just too much, have you ever seen . . ." "Listen Ed," I interrupt, "I am going to hang up because I am going to be violently ill and I don't think that. . ." "Before you go, " interjects Ed, "we are ha vinga little get to getner Saturday night and I was M °"Ed?" I "Yeah." "What happened to the wine and cheese?" "What wine and cheese?" he "Thats what I thought," I replied, hanging up. Dr. Williams Publishes Work On W.A. Graham A Western Carolina University professor has edited the latest in a series of volumes concerning William Alexander Graham and is being published by the North Carolina Office of Archives and History. Dr. Max Ray Williams, WCU professor of social sciences, is the editor of "The Papers of William Alexander Gra ham, Volume V, 1857-1863." The late Dr. J.G. de Roulhac Hamilton, who began the series and edited the first four volumes before his death in 1961, is listed as co-editor of the fifth volume. A notice from the publisher calls Dr. Williams "uniquely qualified" as the successor to Dr. Hamilton. A native of High Point, Dr. Williams is a graduate of Duke University, and holds master's and Ph.D. degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where his doctoral thesis was written about William Graham. He has since published several articles on the former N.C. governor, Whig leader, and secretary of the Navy. Dr. Williams serves as a member of the advisory editorial borad of the North Carolina Historical Review, and isavice president of the N.C. Literary and Historical Association. He has been on the WCU faculty since 1958. The sixth volume in the series is now being prepared for publication, and Dr. Williams is also working on a separate biography of Graham. *h » eouer hill INN Above the lourtbousQ "Where's Charley?", the hilariously funny, marvelous musical for the whole family, opens Friday evening, July 27, at the Highlands Playhouse for a three-week run, including three Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m., July 29, August 5 and 12.
