  • LLai^dLiMiaNi VOICE OF THE STI WE>TS VOL. XXXIX NO. 8 THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1973 WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY CULLOWHEE, NORTH CAROLINA Whiteside Retires As Cartoonist Larry Whiteside, a long time cartoonist for the Western Carolinian, will be leaving Cullowhee after the end of the second summer session. Whiteside, whose cartoons have delighted and infuriated Western Carolinian readers for eight years, first came to WCU in the summer of 1965. His scathing, often devastating caricatures earned him the enmity of such people as former dean Gerald Eller. The conflict reached a climax when in 1969, one day before Whiteside was to have participated in a commencement rehersal, Eller accosted him in the Townhouse and informed him that he was being expelled from school for "moral" reasons. Underpressure from an ACLU lawyer, the WCU administration finally agreed to mail Whiteside his diploma if he would not participate in the graduation exercise. LCBW recalls that ontwooc- casions, once in 1969 and again in 1973, his cartoons have been altered with obscenities without his knowledge. ' 'Somehow I've gotten a reputation for being a badmouth," he remarks, "but actually I wouldn't say anything that would offend even the president of the Fellowship of Christian Atheletes." When asked whether he would draw cartoons for another newspaper Whiteside replied, "Absolutely not. That's the most aggravating thing in the world, doing any kind of commercial art. It's bad enough working for some micky- mouse knec-jerk operation like the Western Carolinian, so you can imagine what it would be like with a real newspaper." Upon leaving WCU Whiteside plans to go to work as a machine operator in a plastics^ molding plant near Henderson- ville "if they're still interested in hiring me. Actually, I've been having trouble gettingjobs now that I'm a college graduate." Kindergarten Teachers At WCU Forty teachers and school administrators from Jackson, Macon, Clay and Transylvania counties arc attending an early childhood education institute at WCU this week. The institute, under the direction of Dr. C. Thomas Pickering of the WCU School of Education and Psychology faculty, is one of several programs being held across the state for persons involved in public school kindergarten programs,, Among the subjects being discussed at the institute are open education, establishing a program for five-year-olds, and language, art, and physical education. At September Meeting Committee To Report To Board Of Governors Recommendations for resolving the WCU situation will be given to the Board of Governors at its next meeting September 14 in Chapel Hill, members of the inquiry committee announced last week. The report will not be made public until October, however. The investigating committee listened to the views of 75 parties, chairman William A. Johnson approximated in a tele« phone interview yesterday. Though the committee had at first planned to remain in Cullowhee only until Friday, the large number of appointments necessitated a rescheduling which lasted through Sunday morning. Johnson said that with the exception of three or four persons who were unable to meet on the weekend, everyone who had requested an appointment was heard. When asked about his general feelings of the hearings, Johnson stated that his impression was the same as that expressed by a number of persons, that "there are serious and complex problems which need to be resolved," He declined to comment on the committee's report, saying that it' 'would be premature" to do so. Residents Of Reynolds Released From Contract Larry Whiteside contemplates his last effort as Western Carolinian cartoonist. Photo by Bill Mclntyre 3COOOOOOOOOOOCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOI S/TA "Roses" Better Than TV Version by Deane Love "The Subject Was Roses" by Frank Gilroy was the last play this summer for the Department of Speech and Theatre Arts. Directed by Ro=' bert L. Yowell and designed by Richard S. Beam the department glowed with competence. It is not often when a bad play is played well. David Boyd as Tommy, Mary Bennett as Nettie and Earl Willis as John projected more than the script and saved the over rated play from disgrace, something Hollywood failed to do if anyone watched T.V. this week. Plays to be produced next fall include "The Boys in the Band," by Mart Crowley, "I Never Sang for My Father," by Robert Anderson and William Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew." "The Company of Wayward Saints" by George Herman, Stephen Sondheim's musical, "Company" and "Nightwatch" by Lucille Fletcher are tena- tively planned for winter and spring, along with a set of one- act dinner theatre productions in February and March. Students who signed a contract to live in Reynolds Hall next year will be permitted a release from the contract if they wish. The decision to close Reynolds Hall in the fall was announced last week by Dr. Tyler Combs, director of housing. In a letter to the 137 up- perclassmen who had planned to live in Reynolds, sent out by Combs and Harold Rogers, student body president, students were informed that they would have three options on housing. They can move as a group to Harrill Hall, singly to another hall at the Reynolds price of $130 per quarter, or can be released from the contract if the two other alternatives are not satisfactory. Parking provisions for the students in Harrill Hall are now under consideration. The Housing Office has proposed a plan to facilitate the large number of students in the Harrill- Albright-Benton area. The plan, which is not yet definite, calls for the lot below Buchanan Hall to be designated for students in Harrill and Al- bright-Benton, while women in Buchanan will be assigned the water tower lot behind Robertson. *MB^ Timmy and John Cleary (played by David Boyd and Earl Willis) exchange war stories in Frank Gilroy's play "The Subject Was Roses," which ends its run tonight in the Grand- room of Hinds University Center. "Roses" is the last in a series of four dinner theatres presented by the Department of Speech and Theatre Arts this summer. Reservations are still available by calling 293-7491. photo by Bill Mclntyre
