  • »-» CuNUMAI VO/CE OF THE STUDENTS THURSDAY, MAY^Ss 1976 WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY POB66. CULLOWHEE. NORTH CAROLINA fay Dr. Conzo Carolinian News Interpretation To rephrase an old saying: You can please all the people some of the time, some of the people all the time, but you can't please all the people all the time. There is probably no one at WCU who understands that statement any better than Stan Pendergraft, director of the Student Government Productions. It is Stan's job to decide how the approximately $20,000 in student activity fees per quarter is spent. [$4.25 per student per quarter]. Sounds fun contacting booking agencies, bickering over prices, and putting on successful concerts, doesn't it? But there is much more work that goes on even before the roadies arrive to set up the equipment. Stan and his assistant Charlie Hyde handle every step: contacting the booking agencies, making sure WCU has the facilities here to meet the demanding "riders" most groups have written into their contracts, promoting the concert, ticket sales, organizing the SCP concert crew, working with the campus electricians and carpenters who must construct the stage in the gym before every concert, helping the roadies set up the equipment — and once the concert is underway the SCP concert crew must act lis security guards, work the flood lights, provide transportation to and from Cullowhee; and then, after the last note has been played and the audience has left, the concert crew must disassemble the stage, load the band's equipment back onto the trucks and finally work with the campus janitors to clean the gym completely before 8 o'clock classes the next morning. It is now that the "can't please all the people all the time" figures in. ' I can t go to class any day without at. least 200 people asking me what group we are going to have next." And worst yet, Pendergraft everyday hears complaints about the groups selected. But first, before examining the criticisms of the SCP successes or failures, it would be best to look at the process for selecting groups. According to Pendergraft, all groups are subject to "availability." In other Words, when he contacts a booking agency he finds out what bands are on tour on the east coast. The ne\t question is price, which when considering the limited seating capacity of Reid Gym | 1,000], eliminates many of the big name .!< (S. If the availibility and price factors don't eliminate the group, the last hurdles to clear are the contract riders. For example, some groups simply won't play in a gymnasium, others demand air-conditioning in warm weather, some have heavy equipment that mast be hung from the ceiling [impossible in Reid}: but the biggest problem is the stage facilities here. Both Pendergraft and Hyde call it "terrible." Appalachian State University, for example, has a much more desirable facility for concerts one stoplight crossroads and others from large Metropolitan cities. Music tastes will always be extreme at WCU. Everybody will agree on the big names in music, but even it Western did have the facilities to accomodate the Who or Led Zepplin or the Stones we couldn't afford their status. On the other hand, suppose SCP had a Chic Corea concert hen"' Imagine the average "Moe" at Western trying to figure who or what a Chic Corea" is when "everybody knows his band is riding the crest of the new progressive rock/jazz movement. Different strokes for different folks at WCU. Pendergraft and Hyde have an impressive record when looking at the list of concerts Over the past few years. [See box], Bui it isn't fair to them to blame the St.P for not tuning everybod) s favorite band. Pendergraft and Hyde have done a notable job, but it is almost too much work and responsibility to expect two students to do alone. Walt Teague, recently elected SGA president, earlier this year worked with several other students and came up with a SCP Advisory Committee plan. The committee would be chaired by the SCP director to be appointed by Teague] who could handle last minute decisions if needed, but otherwise the committtee members selected from several sectors of campus would sample student opinions and serve to promote the input oi ideas the entire campus. "Some of the concert problems that we have to deal with here such as SGP: think about it large seating capacity, but they also have a hydraulu stage that rises with a push of a button I he concert crew cannot begin assembling the stage here until alter i: it) p.m. on the day of the Strident Government ProductionsS since September 1971 Z ■'d. ill ride, id II, wbe Kill and co-ordinate all of the other people involved who are needed to bring off a successful concert. As can easily be imagined. Pendergraft and Hyde both sit in the hot seat." lust organizing concerts is a lull-time job in itself. Most groups that have played here have praised the SCP crew, but on the homefront they have received a fair amount of criticism too. Most of the complaints do not deal with the ticket prices [one of the most reasonable in the state] but instead with the groups selected. Of course availibility, price and riders do figui - Black Oak Arkansas = Ierry Glower — Guess Who Commander Cody Steely Dan Graham Central Sta ZZTop New York Dolls location and facilities we really can t do anything about. This kind of limits us somewhat, to begin with," explained league. I think what we need to do is to work to make what we do be even more efficient. I he best to get a little mor o do this year thet beet gen, disagreement with the SCP's selections. But before any judgement can be reached it is necessary to look at Cullowhee itself. Basically it is a regional school, drawing students from surrounding areas. You have students here from I Billy Preston ■ Marshall Tucker Band I Charlie Daniels Band ; Seals and Croft ■ Linda Ronstadt I Goose Creek Symphony I Andrew Gold j Wet Willie ; Gr inder Switch : Atlanta Rhythm Section ■ Ohio Players I Annual Spring Blu ; Cool and the Gang With the increased input and more students willing to work with Teague and the SCP, there is no reason w/u Reid gym can't soon be referred to as the "Blue Ridge Filmore East. But it's up to you, no matter how hard the SCP works, it's up to you. Fireman encounter hassles by Brenda Walker One man's fun is another man's problem. So it is with the Cullowhee Volunteer Fire Department which must deal with false fire alarms and bomb scares on a routine basis. The most recent incident was a bomb scare call in Killian Building on the WCU campus at 11:40 a.m. Monday. Fire Marshall Tom King and two WCU security officers searched the building for almost two hours. "We were almost certain it had to be a false alarm, but we could not take any chances," King said. "The girl that called us sounded scared like she thought the call was being traced, not mad like someone serious." This is a common occurrence, King said. We experience a bomb scare about every two to three months," he said. False fire alarms are also a problem. Students set off fire alarms in the residence halls eight to ten times a week, King said. This requires evacuation of the building and up to three hours work in finding and resetting the "Students do this when they get bored and want a little excitement, usually around 2 a.m. King said. "They do not realize that they are paying for it. Housing costs reflect the money spent on keeping up fire alarm systems and protection." The Cullowhee Fire Department is housed in the WCU Engineer's Office Building. Up until Jan. 1, 1976, the department was owned by the university. It is now owned and controlled by Jackson County. Twenty volunteers, including local shopkeepers, a barber, a minister, and university employes, make up the fire crew. They train in empty university buildings during the summer months. "The department is centered around protecting students," King said, "but we cover the area within a 3 mile radius of the university." The Student Emergency Care Team faces a similar problem. In early April, they were called to Albright Residence Hall for a reported emergency. They found no one injured and were heckled by some students in the building. It is university policy to suspend any student caught setting off an alarm or calling a bomb scare. The fire department or the SBI would then prosecute the offender," King said. "It is hard to understand why this would go on in a university community," he said, "but I have talked with fire marshalls in other university areas, and they lar problems." Dorm contracts unfair Carolinian News Interpretation It is that time of year again when students find themselves forced into signing contracts if they are to live in a dorm next year. Although the first sentence of the contract urges the student to carefully read the contract, it is certain that many students, out of laziness, illiteracy or end-of-the- year slackness, don't. This is proven every year by the number of students who decide to move out of the dorm, and find out they can't do this without being charged an outrageous fine. For the information of students who have not read it, this legal and binding contract is for the full academic year (Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters). Except under certain conditions, like graduation, marriage, or injury, if a student wants to break the contract after July 1, she/he must forfeit a $75 room reservation con't. to page 3
