  • \ *-- A90-IMAN Vol. XLII No. 10 TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1976 POB 66. Cullowhee, NC 28723 Campus activism not flourshing Hartford Ballet Opens season The Hartford Ballet will open the 1976-77 season of Lectures, Concerts, and Exhibitions Committee proqrams atWCU. The 18-member Connecticut troupe will perform tonight at 815 p.m. in WCU's Hoey Auditorium. Featured on the program are Primavera (1975), set to music by Rossini; La Malinche (1949), choreographed by Jose Limon to music by Norman Lloyd; Windsong (1969), set to Elgar's Serenade in E minor; Aves Mirabiles (1973); and Leggieros (1975), with choreography by Lotte Goslar to Beethoven's Diabelli Variations. Artistic director for the Hartford Ballet is Michael Uthoff, former principal with the Joffrey Ballet and choreographer of Primavera, Windsong, and Aves Mirabiles. The program is sponsored by the LCE Committee with the assistance of a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Admission will be free to WCU students and subscription series members of the LCE. $3 for other adults, and $1.50 for children over six and non-WCU students. The performance, which is included as part of the dance touring program of the National Endowment for the Arts, will be preceded by a lecture-demonstration at 8:15 p.m. Monday in Hoey Auditorium. Also scheduled is a master Cont.on page 2 "I don't think it's dignified to give the finger to the Vice-president of the United States," snapped Nelson Rockefeller after he flipped the bird to 25 student hecklers in Binghamton, New York, last week. "I just responded in kind-it's the American way." While this incident could have triggered a barb-filled series of encounters between students and candidates in past elections, this year it looks like there won't be any fights for Rockv, Grits and Fritz or Jerry Ford- students just don't care. Campus activism hasn't exactly flourished in 1976. Most of the politicking is left to student hacks, the future ward leaders and state senators, who are laying roots for their own careers. The camaraderie and idealism of 1968 and 1972 is gone; there's not the unity that brought 40,000 youths together to work for George McGovern in the '72 New York primary. Jimmy Carter enlisted just 400 students for the same effort in '76. The few youths that are involved in the national election this year keep lonely hours at student union campaign booths, occasionally hawking a bumoersticker or bending some patient passerby's ear. According to pollster Peter Hart, it's an election year that will find less than half the country's registered voters going to the polls, with an even lower percentage pegged for those under thirty. Despite the gloomy prospects of making inroads on the student vote, both Carter and Ford youth directors are at least making an effort to woo the reluctant voters. "Across the board, people are for Carter-our enemy is apathy, not Gerald Ford," asserted Janet Oliver, of the Carter National Headquarters in Atlanta. "Young people want integrity and leadership, and they haven't seen it in their lifetime. They don't remember FDR and JFK." Oliver, who is directing a campus voter registration blitz and canvassing operation, feels that young people are fed up with politics and will be hard to reach, despite the fact that "Governor Carter has had a terrific response at colleges and everywhere else." Carolyn Booth, National Youth Director for the Ford campaign, is more encouraged about getting support for Ford in the southern schools, and Wake Forest, Baylor and Notre Dame are particularly strong," she said. "The Republican college student who is registered is more likely to vote than other students." The Michigan Daily editorialized that Ford kicking-off his campaign at a college campus (University of Michigan at Ann Arbor) "is something akin to Hitler making the first donation the the United Jewish Appeal." The editorial marked Ford as "an enemy of education" because of his anti-education record in Congress, and urged students to demonstrate at the President's arrival. At the University of Texas at Austin, a school that Booth counted among those active for Ford, one student countered that the campus was politically dormant: "There's voter registration going on alright, but the race isn't too hot. There's little activity for Carter, less for Ford. People just don't care anymore." "Even the workhorse Young Americans for Freedom are bypassing the presidential election this year. Disheartened that Ronald Reagan was nosed out in Kansas City, YAF members are concentrating on key U.S. Congressional races, where conservative candidates are facing stiff opposition. What does it all add up to? A handful of hecklers, a score of placards and an occasional cherry bomb scare. And although some students turn out for campaign appearances, the most prevailing attitude towards the election is pretty well summed up by a University of Oklahoma student who said, "Yeah, I saw Carter. He says what everyone wants to hear-just like any politician would." Stills postpones entire tour Stephen Stills has postponed his entire concert tour for an unspecified period of time. Apparently Stills and his band simply were not ready for this round of appearances. Stills was scheduled to perform for his Cullowhee audience on October 8 in Reid Gymnasium. Charlie Hyde, head of Student Government Productions, is expecting Stills to fulfill his engagement sometime in mid-November. "These types of delays are not unusual," said Hyde. The ZZ Top and J. Geils Band concerts had similar problems. Stills is still under contract with SGP.
