  • Wester Cai^Uiia* VOL. XXXIX N()_ 32 TUESDAY JANUARY 22, 1974 VOHE OF THE STI OEMS — . — ■ WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY CULLOWHEE, NORTH CAROUNA Williams Re-Runs For Dorm Seat Special senate elections will be held Thursday in Harrill, Scott, Madison and Buchanan halls. Three of the seats have not been filed for. Candidates may file until 5:30 p.m. Wednesdays Sager Williams will try to once again assert the mandate given to him by Harrill residents last quarter as he runs for re-election Thursday. Williams has been a student senator, senate vice president, and student body president at WCU, but he resigned two weeks ago as senator after a minority faction of the senate had three times tried and failed to expel him. During fall quarter, Williams won in a write-in campaign outpacing his closest opponent 53 to 33. The maverick senator from Raleigh is a senior hi story major. Of his resignation Williams said he thought there was an agreement the last time. "I kept my pari of the bargain but a certain few senators did not keep their word. Rather than put up with juvenile crap like that, I decided that the best thing I could do was resign the disputed seat, and seek re-election. I did not want the dispute to continue so that it could be used as an excuse to cover up the fact that SGA was literally doing nothing for the students so far this year. Elections will be Thursday from 5:30 pm until 8 pm in each of the dorms holding elections. Running against Williams will be John Reed, Jr., a freshman. Timothy Kineaid, a sophmore, is the only candidate for three seats in Scott Hall. Holly Derickson, sophomore, is the only candidate in Buchanan Hall. No one has yet filed for the election in Madison. Entertainer Gives Show Here Thursday Max Moralh, pianist-singer- comedian, will appear at WCU on Thursday, Jan. 24, The 8 p.m. show in Hoey Auditorium will be free for WCU students and members of the Lectures, Concerts and Exhibits Committee subscription series, and $2 for the general public. Morath, a popular entertainer and historian, will offer his ideas about America at the turn of the century, as seen through its music, manners, politics and social foibles. A Colorado native, he first gained national attention in the early 1960's with two television series, "The Ragtime Era"and "Turn of the Century." A frequent guest on leading television variety and talk shows, he has compiled and edited several volumes of ragtime and popular music and is an active composer and writer. «*"<* Jim Tinsley came in first place in WCU's Fourth Annual Tubing Race on Saturday Afternoon in the chilly Tuckaseigee. Runners-up were Richard Baker and Alaia Donnell. (photo by Steven C. Cook) Penultimate Tuber Meets No Glory by Erik (Editor's note: ErikKirzinger, one of our bravest staff writers, came in second to the last in Saturday's 4th Annual Tubing Race. Here is his view from the tube.) What causes man to attempt the almost impossible and try- to climb the Materhorn, or makes him want to fly to the moon, or win the English Channel? What could make the early explorers risk fall ing off the end of the world in search of yet un-named continents? And to a lesser extent, what would cause somebody to jump without duress into an icy cold mountain river and ride down its course on an inner tube, as in Cullowhee's rival to the Super- Bowl—"The Fourth Annual Tubing Race." Until race day 1 approached the race question with the philosophy that if man had been intended to float down a river in wintertime that he would have been born a seal or something rather than a warm blooded pleasure seeking human. If God had intended me to be in this race, I reasoned, I would have been born with a spare tire more efficient than the inner tube that I borrowed from a car. Yet against my better judgement, I decided to enter the race. The guy at the U.C. where I was told to register handed me a "letter of intent" to sign when I told him I was interested in signing up. Only- one statement made me question my sanity. Number eight on the page read: "UCB is not liable for any illness, injuries, or unforeseeable acts of God which may result from the Kirzinger race." I read that line a few- more times before I signed my name. I think it was the part about the "acts of God" that got to me. Race day this past Saturday at 1:00 p.m. found this reporter standing on the banks of the polluted Tuckaseigee with, as one fellow tuber so aptly termed, "the Cullowhee dumb asses." A few minutes earlier the faces of those of us foolish enough to enter the race were full of smiles and laughter. Now, however, moments before we were to make tbe big jump, our faces took on the same expres-- sions that paratroopers have just before they jump out of their troop transport over enemy territory. For the last few moments before the tubing race began, I tried to justify my self getting ready to jump into the winter- cooled river rather than cheering someone else to victory from dry land, as a group of my friends were doing. We were provided with wet suits by the UCB to help protect us against the cold. One worried looking, fully suited tuber asked an official acting guy that was holdinga clipboard what to do if you need to — use the bathroom. The guy with the clipboard muttered something and walked away laughing. I later saw the tuber after the race and asked him how he handled the problem, He didn't say' anything and as he walked away, he wasn't laughing. We were herded bio the order that we registered just before race time. This was CONTINUED Page 4 . . , . Nominee DeRosier Visits This Week by Dwight Sparks Dr. Arthur H. DeRosier, vice president for administration at East Tennessee State University, will be on WCU's campus Thursday for interviews with faculty and students. DeRosier is one of the two prime candidates for chancellor here. Dr. William C. Friday, president of UNC, said last night that he would not accompany any of the candidates to WCC as had been reported earlier. He said that the selection of the chancellor here was still under the auspices of the WCU Board of Trustees. Friday said that he would not become involved in the selection process until the chairman of the trustees, James H. Glenn, Sr. made the board's report to him. Glenn last night confirmed that DeRosier would be on campus this week, but he would not say when DeRosier would be here. He was to release a statement today concerning DeRosier's visit. Friday refuted Student Body President Harold Rogers' accusation that one of Friday's aides influenced the selection committee's choices. He said that Roger's accusation was "wholly incorrect." Friday said that he had not heard any reports from anyone that students did not have enough input into the selection, as Rogers said Wednesday at the Faculty-Administration Senate. "I have always asked the student body president to "play the role" of representing the students in the past selections, he said. Friday said he would not be on the campus due to an appearance he had Thursday before the legislative appropriations committee to ask for funds for the university. DeRosier was born in Norwich, Conn, in 1931. He received a B.S. and a M.A. in history from the Uniytjriytv of Southern Mississippi. He earned his Ph. D. from the University of South Carolina in 1959. He has been active in several Indian philanthropies. He is a member of the American Historical Association, the Organization of American Historians, the Southern and Western Historical Associations, the Council of Graduate Schools; he is a Democrat and a Rotarian. He is the author of "Through the South With a Union Soldier," and "The removal of the Choctaw Indians." Intercollegiate Tubers Will Race For Trophy The first Annual Intercollegiate Tubing Race will be held this coming Saturday at 1:00 p.m. by the banks of the Tuckaseigee, Tubers representing seven schools will brave chilly temperatures for a shot at winning Rock Concerts Get Approval By Senators The Student Senate approved the contracts for two rock concerts last night.
