  • Page 10 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 1976 Area math students to compete here Area mathematics students are making plans to compete in the Sixth Annual High School Mathematics Contest sponsored by the WCU Dept. of Mathematics, April 29. Mr. Ralph H. Willis, contest chrmn., has announced that 42 of the public, private and parochial junior and senior high schools of the 19 western-most counties of North Carolina have officially entered the contest. The 42 schools, among the largest number of schools ever to enter the contest, will send a total of 557 contestants to the WCU campus. Fifty-three teachers from the participating schools will accompany the contestants to WCU on contest day. Competition will be divided into four subject divisions. One hundred and seventy-six students will compete in the algebra 1 division; 134 in the algebra II division; 135 in the geometry division; and 112 in the comprehensive division. The number of contestants each school may send is based upon the number of students it has enrolled in the subjects involved. Certificates of merit will be presented to the top five contestants in each division; certificates of participation will be presented to all students participating; and plaques will be presented to the three senior high schools and the one junior high school whose students have the highest mean scores. In addition, the top winners of the senior level comprehensive division, who elect to attend WCU as freshman, will be presented scholarships, the amount of each scholarship being at least $300. The contest Committee is hopeful of being able to award seven scholarships; the exact number of scholarships, however, will depend on the funds available at the time of the contest. The public is invited to attend the contest awards presentation scheduled for 1:30pm in Hoey Auditorium. Further information concerning the contest may be obtained by writing the Contest Chairman, Dept. of Mathematics, WCU. Ervin From p. 5 remark that "foreign policy is supposed to be controlled by elected officials" and, in the words of former President Wilson "agreements between nations should be open covenants, openly agreed on." Ervin said that he thought the CIA and the FBI should be regulated by congress. He does not favor the ERA, calling it "unecessary and unwise." ELECT STEVE SHERMAN I /- fikaucJ-iM <n cxLii&rar1 /^mn^vnJ'ediioAs fOtCT SGA TOfcSljXJfT ! I ! •2*2£ai teenage -*o0 wasteland Guitar Heroes, those stratocaster visionaries of the past decade are making some sort of a return. As the Ford recession diminishes slowly into an election ya-ya year just as 1972 was close to the height of American prosperity, heavy metal fury at intense volume levels reutrns. Who are these new heroes and of what good are they? If mass rock and roll is to be viewed with any sense of Realpolitik, then these heroes may signal something of a mass retreat from personal inititive. This retreat from personal inititive can be seen elsewhere. The Free Paper, a socialist publication, is a good example of the guitar hero syndrome being manifested in reality. Rock and roll in the 1960's learned that politics and reality don't mix well, and the mass American populace learned from Nexxon that politics and mega-corporations mix only too well. As rock and roll learned through the deaths of its heroes, politics is learning that no system of ideals currently in use can adequately accomodate reality. A possibility then, is that America, frustrated by a lack of leadership, will turn to some sort of fascism. Homegrown, mind you. And it would play to a sellout crowd in the Jackson Counties of America. Socialism, a system of government total ownership, would then provide the way for a fascist American government, a government de facto supported by apathy, to gain an upper hand. Or "Anything big enough to give you the moon can take it away". An interesting boo, of which I don't remember the title, is one by a French anarcho-syndicalist by the name of George Sorel. Writing in the 19th century and predicting that western-style democracy would become a farce, he proposed what could be called an honest corporate state. Sorel felt that if the mass populace could be reflected in terms of ownership of those corporations then a truly representitive government could be achieved. This would be done through employees purchasing their factories, owning their own small businesses and allowing only minimal government controls. And so here we sit with a Nexxon legacy in the White House (help keep the White House white, vote in 1976) and a populace easily goaded by the current administration into WINNING and the judges still send people to jail on drug charges and I just sit and wonder. by Joe Digges With the cooperation of The Western Carolinian, the Interfraternity Council has revived the "Greek Beat", a weekly column informing readers of fraternity and sorority activities. Lambda Chi Alpha is planning to hold its annual Raft Race on May 1. For further information contact any member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. Everyone is urged to enter. A special pat on the back goes to Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity for a job well done as they collected over $2,100 for the Muscular Dystrophy Fund. The Pika's are in the process of planning their annual "Pike's Peak," a series of competitive events like chugging beer from a baby bottle, dipping for billiard balls in a water hole, and changing clothes in a sleeping bag. Several fraternities are holding raffles this quarter. Kappa Alpha is raffling a television set. Tickets are 50 cents, and the drawing is to be held May 6. Tau Kappa Epsilon is selling chances to win a 1972 GMC van. The drawing will be May 1. Theta Xi is raffling two new radial tires at $1 per chance. The winner has his/her choice of brand and size. Pi Kappa Phi has planned its annual Spring Weekend for April 30 - May 1 in Knoxville, Tennessee. The Pi Kapps have also planned a combined "Parent's Day" and "Scholarship Banguet" for May 9. Delta Sigma Phi is concentrating on an effective rush this quarter. The Sigs had a rush party last Tuesday night that was a tremendous success. They are also planning their annual "Hat Day." The sorority that collects the most hats will have a keg party thrown in its honor by the Delta Sigs. Delta Zeta currently is engaged in three projects to help raise funds for the Special Olympics. The DZ's are selling stationary at $1.25 per pack and selling ads for the Special Olympics. They are also holding a raffle, the prize being a dinner for two at the Down Under in Sylva. The Sigma Kappas have several events scheduled for Spring quarter. They are planning to hold "Parent's Day", car washes, and an ice cream eat on the front lawn of the UC. The dates of these events will be announced at a later date. The Sigma Kappas also plan to raise money for the Special Olympics by selling chances to win a free grocery shopping spree in Waynesville. Later this quarter they will sponsor an election for "Best University Professor" to be elected by the student body. Zeta Tau Alpha had their annual "Crown Ball" the weekend of April 3. The Zeta's plan to be very active, and sponsor assorted fund raising projects for the Special Olympics. The Phi Mu's will be holding their annual "Hike for Hope," a philanthropy in which all proceeds are donated to the USS Hope. Alpha Xi Delta is conducting two fund raising projects. They are currently selling chances for a dinner for two at the Down Under. The drawing is to be April 23. Also, candy will be sold in the near future. The Alpha Xi's will also be holding the "Parent's Weekend" on April 24 and 25.
