  • SEPTEMBER 8, 1977/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/Page 15 WCU forensics go far A quick tour of the gymnasium at WCU will reveal several neat rows of trophies lined up in a glass case along one wall of the entrance. Probably everyone has seen them, but there are two other trophy cases full of hardware here at Western that aren't quite as famous. They are located near the Little Theater entrance in Stillwell building and belong to the WCU Forensics Society. No, WCU hasn't won any awards for cutting apart dead bodies, but rather for the competitive speaking abilities of the students in the Forensics Society. The Forensics Society is headed by Sam Gray, president, Vice-president Don Yopp, and Secretary Lynn Bougan, and is coached by faculty advisors Drs. Alexander, Sandquist, and Crisp. The Society represents WCU in competitive speaking tournaments during the year and is open to all students who are interested in building skills in speaking, oral interpretation of literature (both prose and poetry), and in debating. The club's first event will be at Chapel Hill October 14 through 16, followed by seven other tentatively scheduled events. The later tournaments include the Appalachian State University Mountain Tournament in November) which has been held annually for about 40 years), and the Magnolia Tournament at the University of Mississippi for Women. WCU Forensic Society members have traditionally made it as far as the National finals in Washington, D.C. Preparation for the events demands a lot of time and energy devoted to practice and research in whatever area the individual might be entering. Members are encouraged to enter more than one event per tournament to broaden skills. Some tournaments also include a duel acting event in which two actors are given a short scene to perform without props, costumes, or make-up. The Society was founded in 1973 by Ron Fender. Bobby Funk, Peg McLaney and current president, Sam Gray. It is funded through the University Players and all students are invited to participate in the scheduled activities. The club meets about four times each semester and members are required to attend a certain number of meetings per year. In addition to the regular tournaments, a tournament for WCU students only is organized each spring. Trophies are awarded to winners in each catagory, which also include Radio and T.V. Commentary in which the speaker is videotaped for three minutes and then judged. Any student wishing to improve his or her public speaking abilities, or seeking to enjoy a new aspect of literature through oral interpretation is invited to contact any of the faculty advisors and watch the Speech and Theater Arts bulletin board for announcements and further information. Every Thursday evening at 9 p.m. it's MARTY JONES on the progressive music scene! LISTEN! This Saturday at 5 p.m. the old radio show feature will be THE SHADOW with Orson Welles At 5:30, PEOPLE will present Dr. Tom Westcott, counseling co-ordinator for the CAP Center Farwell leads choral program The WCU Choral program under the leadership of Dr. Joyce Farwell is gearing up for another active season this year. Three different choral groups will perform a variety of music here on campus and elsewhere in North Carolina. Western Carolina University is represented each year by the Concert Choir which will tour the state for about a week later this semester, appearing at high schools and small colleges along the way. The group consists of about 30 members, most of whom are music majors. They meet four days per week and will perform in two concerts here on campus this semester in addition to the concert tour. The group is the only one in the program for which singers are selected by audition. All others are open to any student who wishes to participate. Assisting Dr. Farwell is running the Choir are President Jacque Culpepper, Vice President Sara Hinson, Business Manager Gary Green, and Secretary Marcia Marshall. The largest of the three groups is the 65-member University Chorus. This group appears on campus in several concerts a year, performing music more suited to larger groups than the Concert Choir. The Chorus is open to all students at WCU and Dr. Farwell would like to see "about 150 people" in this group. Helping with administrative chores in the Chorus are President David Jackson, Vice President Wynn Justice, Secretary Debra Wood, and Librarian Robert Pritchett. The smallest of the groups is the Chamber Singers, -which has about 15 members. This group performs a variety of music from fifteenth-and seventeenth-century selections to contemporary numbers. During the last part of the fall semester the Singers will perform in a Madrigal Dinner for two nights, and performed last year in costume at the Biltmore House. The first event on schedule for the WCU vocal ensembles is a concert at Hoey Auditorium for all groups on October 6 at 8:15 p.m. On November 17, the groups will again assemble for their Christmas concert, again in Hoey auditorium at 8:15 p.m. The Concert Choir will perform on tour during the week of November 9. through 13, and then will appear at the Biltmore House in Asheville on December 3 and 4. Later, on the evenings of December 6,7, and 8, the Chamber Singers will perform their Madrigal Dinner here on campus, then will finish the semester's program with two appearances at the Biltmore House on December 10 and 11. All three groups will combine efforts in April with the Asheville Symphony Orchestra, performing the Verdi Requiem in Asheville. The season promises to be filled with activity for the WCU choirs, and all students are urged to attend or participate in the programs. OPENING SOON QUIN THEATRES 1&2 E.
