  • The^stern Carolinian 8 PAGES THURSDAY JULY 6,1978 Vol. XL.III, No. 35 CULLOWHEE, N.C. Gettin' down The Buddy Davis Band and Coonie entertained students at the annual 4th of July picnic held Tuesday on the UC lawn. Hot weather and free watermelon were Stereotypes to be erased? enough to convince many students to drop their hectic summertime schedules and spend an afternoon listening to footstomplng bluegrass music. (Photo by E. S. McDanlel) The North Carolina Humanities Committee and WCU are out to erase stereotypes and cliches about the heritage of the WNC mountains and prove its relevance in today's world. A $17,605 project will take a slide-tape show and five experts on southern Appalachian musical, pioneer, Indian and natural histories to four WNC towns in July and August. Dr. Clifford Lovin, director of the WCU Mountain Heritage Center, said the three-part programs are designed to dispel the "TV image of the life of the 'mountaineer' as primitive, barbaric or worse." Lovin said the programs will translate into layman's terms the facts found by academic specialists relating to current misconceptions and socio-economic problems faced by WNC natives and newcomers as well as tourists and part-time residents in the area. Programs will be held 7:30-9:30 p.m. July 17, 24 and 31 in the Macon County Community Building at Franklin; July 18-20 in the Brevard High School; July 24-26 in the First United Methodist Church at Waynesville; and Aug. 3, 10 and 13 in the Carnegie Public Library at Murphy. All of the programs are free to the public. The first night of the programs will feature Lovin speaking on "Problems in Understanding Our Mountain Heritage" and Jim Trantham of Canton playing and discussing mountain music. Dr. James Horton of the WCU biology department will lecture on the natural history of the southern Appalachians and Dr. Theda Perdue of the WCU history department will talk about the Indian heritage of the region on the second night of the programs. Early American pioneer activity in WNC will be discussed by Dr. James Gifford of the WCU history department and all the speakers will conduct a panel discussion with the audience on the general concept of mountain heritage on the third night. The programs are sponsored in part by a $8,550 grant from the Humanities Committee. The other $9,055 is provided by WCU.
