  • THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN THURSDAY, MAY 19,1977 Cap and gown fosters scholastics, leadership "Recognizing the advantage of senior honor societies, we do hereby unite to form a society whose purpose shall be to advance a spirit of scholarship, to recognize and encourage leadership, and to provide the opportunity for a meaningful exchange of ideas as individuals and as a group." This is the preamble of the Constitution of the WCU chapter of Cap and Gown, a unique senior honor society. "There are sever honor societies that only require a high QPR for membership," says Ms. Karen Crisp, this year's Cap and Gown historian. "In Cap and Gown. however, we recognize genuine contributions—things that you don't always hear about. We do have a minimum QPR—3.0—and a minimum number of quarter hours—90—but we place a tremendous amount on service and valuable non-academic activities." Cap and Gown was founded here at WCU in the spring of 1975. According to Ms. Barbara Mann, WCU Dean of Student Development and sponsor of Cap and Gown, the first selection committee was made up of a group consisting of faculty, staff, and students. Since then, however, subsequent groups of Cap and Gown initiates have been selected by current members of the society, making membership an even higher honor.

The founders of Cap and Gown patterned the society after Omicron Delta Kappa and Mortar Board, both national senior honor societies. In three years, according to Dean Mann, Cap and Gown will be able to seek affiliation with national honor societies. New members for this year include Tony Brown, Ms. Vicki Carter, Ms. Ann Darden, Ms. Cheryl Higham. Ms. Sue Hmielewski.

Both lectures will be free to the public. Art students display work bv C. STEWART FORTUNE Contributing Editor The Art Students League has assembled, in the Art Gallery in Belk. the best of the collective artistic endeavors In this year's WCU students. From 8-4 dailv through Mav 30, the 1977 Student Art Show can be seen by anyone interested in art. or culture, or whatever you want to call it. There's something for everyone, no matter what their taste, and many of the pieces are for sale—some with prices up to three hundred dollars. Frank Creech, an artist from Gaston Community College, juried the over-two hundred submissions, and came up with a diversified one hundred thirty-two works to represent this year's campus art. There was one $50 award, and ten $20 awards that went to the top works in the show, all of which were well chosen. And. there were 24 honorable mentions. ; presented in the t. as in anything e vastly different -uipture, jewelry. The wide variety of media that a show can only point to one fact—ir else, individual style and judgment at from person to person. Photography, s printmaking. painting, and glassblowing are among the many types of work presented. All are well executed, and their arrangement in the gallery makes it a pleasure to browse through. Several of the pieces are particularly eye-catching. Among them are a leaded glass window done by Jim Coman. which received an honorable mention, and a foiled glass lamp by the same artist. Another is a collage of some mountains in Pisgah National Forest done by Roger Stephens. A photograph by Chuck Downs, another honorable mention, is also one of the most impressive works in the gallery. In fact, there are so many excellent pieces being shown, that they are too numerous to list. This year's show is, as it should be, a dramatic statement of the direction that both the instruction and talent at this school are going. Without the quality instruction that is available the artists might never have refined their techniques to their present state, and without the talent the instruction would have been wasted. The talent, however, is there, and its combination with the artists' imagination have produced some of the best work yet turned out at WCU. All art is worthless without a viewing audience, and it cannot be stressed too much that everyone should take the time to see the show. Hopefully, the three hundred people who attended the reception Monday night are only the beginning. So far responses have been good, ;.nd certainly they will continue to be.

The cafeteria will serve dinner on the lawn prior to the show. After the show, the UCB will present a movie, "Getting Straight," also on the lawn. Gene Cotton has put out four albums. His first two, "In The Gray of the Morning" and "Liberty," were recorded on the Myrrh label. These albums consisted mostly of protest songs about social injustices. "For All the Young Writers" was Gene's third effort and was the debut album for ABC Records. With this album. Cotton stopped writing so many message songs and started delving into love songs. Gene's most recent album is "Rain Song," also on the ABC label. This album, with its single "You've Got Me Runnin'." promises to be the most commercial release Cotton has had. GENE COTTON
