  • AtJO«J\IA\ THURSDAY OCTOBER 2 wis 1 ERN CAROLINA UN1VERS11 V POBoo. Cullowhee, Writer speaks at Hoey Wolfe says European ideas influenced American change Photo by Drew Clark by Fred Barbour In a speech in Hoey Auditorium last night, author and journalist Tom Wolfe expressed his views on the forces that have shaped the changes that have taken place between the sixties and the present, and said an exhaustion of these forces is taking place. Wolfe said "there is a feeling that tremendous changes have taken place-invisibly." The author said he believed these changes began 65-70 years ago in Europe, particularly in post-World War France. "The vision of European intellectuals was brilliant against the slag heap of European history," Wolfe said. He said American intellectuals liked this effect, and thus wanted their own rubble pile to stand against to make them look good. Using the term "adjectival elevator shoes", Wolfe said the American intellectual used the Students favor OES funds-cut The finance committee of the Student Senate is considering an appropriation to the Organization of Ebony Students of approximately $600. A telephone poll of students on campus was conducted. Students were randomly selected and polled. The results show that almost 60 percent of the student body supports the preliminary amount under consideration by the committee. Last year the Senate appropriated a total of $ 1000 to OES after extended conflict between the two bodies. If the figure currently under consideration by the committee is adopted by the Senate, it will represent a cut in the OES budget of 40 percent or $400. Each person polled was asked sex, class rank, and if they were familiar with OES and its functions. Following this they were asked, "Student Government is preparing to provide $600 to the Orgainzation of Ebony Students. Do you feel that this is a fair amount, if vou do not. do von feel that more, or less, or no money should be funded?" Polled were 40 percent freshman, 25 percent sophomores, 15 percent juniors, and 20 percent seniors. Of these polled, 57 percent were male and 43 percent were female. When asked if they were aware of OES and its function, an even 50 percent indicated that they knew about OES. The poll showed that 59.4 percent believed the amount under consideration was fair. Those responding that the amount was insufficient accounted for 12.5 percent of the total as did those responding that the amount was excessive. Another 6 percent believed that no money should be appropriated. Lastly, 9.4 percent had no opinion on the issue. The survey confirmed earlier work in this area. Last year, when SGA appropriated $1,000, a poll by the SGA Vice president found that 71 percent of the student body supported a reduction in the OES appropriation. bourgeoisie as a "psychologcal rubble pile", and created a "cultural genocide" to correspond with the genocide that was taking place in Europe. Wolfe said the war in Vietnam was the fust real rubble pile faced by American intellectuals. Wolfe said that this emulation of the European intelligensia has produced writers and youth with "two track minds." One of these Hacks. according to Wolfe, is the persons private lite. which involves his personal goals and outlooks. In this life, surveys show, everything is looked at In most persons optimistically. The second part of this "two-track mind." Wolfe said, is the public life, which includes polities, and natural trends. A pessimistic view is usually taken on the public life, said Wolfe. Wolfe blamed this paradoxical mind on the American writers and shapers of opinions. "Most of the good young writers today have looked toward Europe for influence. They have written about something that is totally removed from American society," Wolfe said. Wolfe concluded his speech by saying the exhaustion of European ideas has come, and people are breaking loose. He said "the problem is to bring this whole realm of ideas into the twentieth century." In a question and answer period which followed his speech, Wolfe was asked what he thought of the press. The writer said "I take the institution of the American press very seriously. I don't take TV news seriously at all." Wolfe said the press is a safeguard "that doesn't exist anywhere else."
