  • Ca^dUmiaM VOHi: OF THE STl'DESTS VOU. XXXIX NO. 49. TUESDAY APRIL 9,1974 WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY CULLOWHEE, NORTH CAROLINA Hitchcock Film Airs Tonight by Steve Eberly A Canadian in London visits a show featuring "Mr. Memory," an amazing manwh- ose mind is a veritable com = puter; he can answer almost any question of fact a person can think up, as he proves to a noisy and incredulous crowd. However, a fight breaks out and the crowd joins in; shots ring out, and in the ensuing melee the Canadian manages to escape with a lovely young lady. The lady endears herself by inviting herself home but acts so cautious that one wonders if she is modest or mimsy. How- ever, she explains to her ben- efactor: she fired the shots as a diversion to escape from two baddies bent on killing her. She is a secret agent devoted to the highest bidder"-who happens to want some valuable British secrets to stay out of the hands of a hostile foreign power. She mentions such enticing matters as "thirty-nine steps" and Alt-Ma-Shallach, Scotland, where she must meet a friend, but expires (mysteriously stabbed in the back) before she can explain matters. He heads for Scotland chased by police (for the murder) and baddies (intent on eliminating him). So begins The Thirty-Nine Steps, considered by many critics (including WCU's Josefina Niggli) Hitchcock's greatest film. Made in 1935, and therefore a delightful example of early film and acting techniques, this film marked Hitchcock's early contribution to movie innovation. Robert Donat who won an Academy Award for his role in Goodbye Mr. Chips and who starred in an early production of T.S. Elliot's Murder in the Cathedral does a fine job of portraying the bewildered but capable Canadian, Mr. Hannay. The girl he meets quite by accident, first in a train to Scotland, later in a political rally at which Hannay finds himself a surprise orator, is played by Madeline Carroll. She finds herself literally shackeled to Hannay for some exciting and very funny episodes; picture a girl who hates a particular man. firmlv handcuffed to him, running mad- ly across rocky Scotts highland terrain in darkness and fog to escape the henchmen of the notorious short-fingered vil- lian. At one point they try to scramble onto a road--he over the fence, she under it. At another point, having found temporary refuge in a hotel, sharing a one-bed room (which makes the girl very skittish), the girl has a bit of trouble trying to remove her wet nylons (dampened under a waterfall earlier): she finds that three hands aren't necessarily better than two. Hitchcock (who appears briefly as one of the police CONTINUED PAGE 4 .... , Two-Thirds Vote Fails The first portion of WCU's Miss Catamount Pageant was held last night in Hoey Auditorium.

Cook) Student Senate Sets Campaign Money Limits by Chuck Kirtley A bill limiting campaign ex- penditures in student elections at Western was the main topic of last night's brief Student Senate meeting. The bill limited campaign spending to 3c, 2i, or 1C per enrolled student, depending on the office sought. Higher offices Oil Critic Talks Here Wednesday Lawyer - environmentalist Joseph Schatz of Hendersonville will speak at 8:15 p.m. Wednesday (April 10) in the auditorium of Forsyth Building. Schatz, a former general counsel for a major oil company in the New York area, will discuss the role of the oil companies in the energy crisis. He is known to be an outspoken critic of oil company policy. The program, which is sponsored by the WCU Lectures, Concerts and Exhibitions Committee, is free to the public. are allowed the larger amounts. The measure passed by a large majority. Those who opposed the bill did so because they felt that by- limiting campaign expenditures they would "limit the competition of the races". Dwight Sparks pointed out that "our current president started campaigning in the preceeding winter", and used the example argument against any limitation. Senators favoring the bill did so because they felt that the elections would be more open to any interested person, rather than favoring the candidate with the most money to spentL There is no monitoring device in the bill, so there will be no way to check the accuracy of the financial statements submitted by ihe candidates. In other business, the Senate voted to delegate the responsibility for running the coming presidential election to the president protempor of the Senate. The is usually the job of the vice president, but Vice- President Wardell Town- send felt that this would constitute a conflict of interests since he is himself a candidate for the office of president. Finally, William Drury was sworn into the Senate, replacing a senator who had resigned. Faculty Rejects Document Changes by Dw The WCU faculty voted down an amendment to its proposed constitution Thursday that would have made the university chancellor the chairman of the faculty senate. Falling eight votes short of the necessary two-thirds majority needed for adoption, four changes requested by Chancellor-elect Harold Robinson were defeated 87 to 55. Robinson had asked the faculty to make the proposed faculty senate a "faculty-administration" senate. Besides" the request to make him senate chairman, Robinson had asked that the four vice chancellors be voting senate members and that the school deans be eligible for election to the senate. Although the faculty voted unaminously to adopt eight small editorial changes in the constitution, Robinson's proposals were defeated atthe meeting in Hoey Auditorium. The changes had previously been approved by the constitution committees which drafted the proposed document, and by the present Faculty-Administration Senate. Before becoming effective, the constitution must be approved by Robinson, It could not be determined whether the rejection of his requests would prevent Robinson from approving the document. Robinson is currently provost at Purdue University and will not officially assume duties here until June 1. Faculty leaders have worked for more than a year on the new constitution. Currently, the faculty and administration have one advisory body, the Facu = lty-Administration Senate. In that senate the faculty holds about a five vote margin over the administration members, Faculty groups started forming a new constitution last year to correct conflicts between the UNC governance documents and WCU regulations. Some of the faculty had wanted to break with the administration since they said to have felt under-represented and in= timidated from speaking freely among the high-ranking administrators. Robinson's proposals would have placed the four vice chancellors and himself on the senate among 27 faculty member o. But by doing so, the body would again be a faculty-administration senate. The close vote Thursday came after a rather impassioned deliberation among the'fac- ulty leaders. Dr. Marilyn Jody, one of the drafters of the new constitution, said Robinson wanted the changes because they would "work best for him." Jody told the faculty Robinson had said he was more accustomed to the faculty and administrators meeting together and thought it worked better than separate meeting, According to Jody, Robinson ight Sparks felt the changes would provide for a "greater possibility to achieve communication, under- standing and cooperation between the faculty and administration." While admittinghe did not like the Chancellor's proposals, Dr, Clifford Lovin, faculty president, asked the members to adopt them to "give the constitution a chance to work." Lovin stressed the internal troubles Western Carolina has experienced in the past two years and said, continued controversy migh'. mean "the end of the institution as we now know it," "It is essential that we all work together," he added. Asking the faculty to help Robinson be effective as chancellor, Lovin said, "The better job he does, the better off we :tU are going to be, and the better off the institution will be," Lovin said Robinson had asked the faculty to try the nevv chancellor's proposal for at least one year and then change back if it did not work satisfactorily, Andrew Baggs, campus president of the American Association of University Professors, spoke against Lovin's argument, saying the faculty should cry the opposite route by having a faculty senate for one yoar and then chtinge as Robinson had tsked if it did not work - CONTINUED PAGE 4. . . ...
