'La Boh erne' The National Opera Company will present Puccini's popular opera, "La Boheme," at 8:15 March 1 in Hoey Auditorium. Now in its 31st consecutive season, the company was founded in 1948 by Raleigh attorney A.J. Fletcher. From its earliest beginnings, using local talent and touring in one station wagon, the company had three goals—to introduce opera to North Carolina schools, to create audiences by singing opera in English, and to give experience and employment to young singing artists. Over the years, to reach their goals, the company has performed more than 2,000 times in annual tours covering most of the United States. In 1969 the troupe played to the one-millionth student in attendance at matinees for the N.C. public schools. National Opera Company singers have come from as far away as Vienna and South Africa, although most are Americans. Some of the company's singers have gone on to leading roles at the Metropolitan, the New York City Opera, the Chicago Lyric, the San Francisco Opera Company and other leading houses. Since its first U.S. performance in 1898, "La Boheme" has become a favorite of American audiences. Its poignant love story, set in the Latin Quarter of 19th-century Paris, has captivated millions of viewers. The performance is sponsored by the WCU Lectures, Concerts and Exhibitions Committee. Admission will be free to WCU students and LCE subscribers, $4 for other adults and $2 for non-WCU students. Watch out! All cars parking behind or blocking the rear entrance to the Cullowhee Post Office will be ticketted beginning February 26.

The pro-ERA folks do not want to know what the majority of folks think," Jordan said. A Senate committee killed an ERA ratification bill last week.
