  • PAGE 4 THURSDAY FEBRUARY 21, 1974 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Flash! It has always been a natural instinct of man to shed his clothes tnd inihbitions and return to the primal days of Eden. But is asking for a little professionalism too much? Now that the college phenomenon of streaking has hit Cullowhee, we have seen some of the most half-baked streaks ever performed. Two of the three men who ran across the University Center lawn in the buff Monday night forgot to leave their clothes in the car they jumped out of. Wearing shoes and socks are acceptable paraphanalia and a face mask is all right for the bashful, but carrying ones clothes is intolerable. Still it can be overlooked this time since it was the first streak on campus and we recognize the streakers were lacking experience. But Tuesday night's streaks were a fiasco of collossal proportion. Three separate streaks occurred in about one hour between Leatherwood and Helder halls. Bashfully, three males suddenly sprang from the north entrance of Leatherwood, raced about 30 yards toward Helder, whirled around and pointed their behinds toward the moon, and ran skittishly back to the shelter of Leatherwood. Needless to say the women in Helder roared in approval and demanded more. Like us, they wanted to see real streaking, not just the timorous type. Soon a chubby fellow flashed around Leatherwood to the amusement of all, but he too was timid and quickly went back inside the dorm. The final streak of the night was of gross incompetency. Not only did all five of the streakers carry their clothes with them, but one was caught by a security patrolman. Depend on amateurs to bungle an operation. Fortunately, the streaker was released with only a verbal reprimand. However, he could have been thrown the book. A state statute makes it a criminal offense to expose one's private parts to one or more members of the opposite sex. If found guilty of the misdemeanor, one could be fined $500, receive a six- month prison sentence or both. Wearing masks, hoods and the like on public property or public roads and walkways is also a misdemeanor. Expecting the security patrol to stand idly by while the law is being broken is like waiting for two weeks without rain in Cullowhee. So potential streakers beware. Don't take streaking lightly. It's serious business. If one is preparing to streak use this set of guidlines: 1. Make it appear spontaneous. Don't tell anyone other than those few needed for assistance. 2. Be calm. This will be hard, but just keep repeating, "My mother will never know." 3. Run, don't walk. Don't run so fast that you trip or anything, but sprint gamefully. 4. Be able to re-robe quickly. End the streak in a secluded spot. Should anyone appear while you are still there just say, "He went that way." 5. Don't streak past patrol cars unless you can really run. Dead End The tenure appeals process released last week by acting chancellor Frank H. Brown appears to be a cul-de-sac, to say the least. Even under the most favorable circumstances, those appealing negative tenure decisions face slim chances of a reversal. Most appalling is the fact that an appeals committee would be selected from the very body that approved the tenure denials two months ago. The very definition of an appeal is that it is a rehearing under a higher and completely different court from the one where the original decision came. Another questionable process is that of the committee to set its own rules of evidence and procedure. The appellant will have to defend himself without knowing why he got the axe to begin with, as it is very unlikely that the board will release reasons of dismissals. It looks like the same dead end these persons were confronted with in December.

Thank You The WCU Gymnastic Troupe wishes to take this opportunity to thank all the people and students who supported us throughout another fine year of competition. We wish to conclude our season by saying thanks to the Western Carolinian for the publicity that it allowed. It's not easy to have a team and win successively without the backing of many fans and es tablishments. The organization can't run on its own. There are so many people in the background that gives us support and acknowledges our victories. These people are they very ones to which we are referring. There is a special thanks that the WCU troupe would like to say tribute to. This deep appreciation and sincere thanks goes to Coach Sue Fields. She's what the team needed to be successful winners in the art of competition and sportman- ship. From the gymnastic troupe and all involved, to the many followers, we want to ex- . press our gratitude and thank each of you for making all this possible. Even though this season seemed short, it won't be long until another season will approach us and again we will need your gracious support. Thanks again. Jeanie Pock President, WCU Gymnastic Troupe Cody Has New Old Sound by David Venable Talent? Yes, Commander Cody and his boys have an a- bundance of it. But, as one WCU coed pointed out, ''Cody is O.K., but his music is for special tastes." True, Cody and company put on a "high - energy performance", coupled with variations of different types of music- His selections ranged from Hank Williams to "Sha-Na-Na" and back again. But, his style of country - western, country- rock left some people with a bad taste in their mouth. Why? Because Cody's music is one of the forerunners of a new, but old sound - it's country and at the present it's different. Special, advanced tastes are required for the enjoyment of this upcoming popular sound, at the present. Remember tuning to another station when WMSJ plays a number by Conway Twitty? Well Cody turned the dial back and centered his show on that seemingly "red-neck; greasy spoon'"' style of songs that the average listener does not appreciate. Country-western music is the back bone of our present day- musical culture. Each day that goes by one can hear a group doing an old song in a new way. Sometimes adding color or toning it down, and sometimes playing it in the original form. This marks another era, another change for the world of music. Thusly, it reflects the change of the people, the times, and our culture itself. Sometimes though, too much credit is given to the big name bands and the smaller, not yet discovered talents, such as "Single Tree," are left in the backstage shadows. "Single Tree," the country- rock group that started the Cody Show, possesses the talent, originality, and music of a great band. Let it be known that the warm -up act is the most important ingredient in any successful concert. These six musicians, hailing from North Carolina and Virginia, have warmed-up audiences for such bands as "The Amboy Dukes," "Black Oak," "Cactus," "Marshall Tucker Band," and "ZZ-Top," each time gaining in experience, style, and musical knowledge. All important turns on the road towards success. ' 'We try to go out and touch people in a way, and let them know we are there to "boogie" and to have a good time, but at the same time if we can't interject our philosophical views in what we're doing, then it isn't enough to do it any- other way," says Woody Thur- man, lead singer and rythmn guitar player for the group. "Single Tree's" dream is to own a large tract of land so that the members of the band and their families can live together, grow their own food together, and produce original "home-grown music"together. The break that every small band hopes for,- will soon open wide for this group of "philosophical, country - rock performers". And, one day "Single Tree" will plant its roots in the fertile soil of success and have their dreams come tn>°,
