FEBRUARY 22, 1979/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/PAGE 3 West has his head in the sky Opened Cullowhee's first head shop b\ LAURA WEST Staff Writer Having served the Cullowhee community for the past fifteen years. Norman West has been the owner ot | large vsriet) of businesses, including the first "head shop" and boutique in Western North Carolina, Originally from Thomasville. NC. West entered WCU in 1964 as a prospective music major. Recipient of the John Phillip Sousa Award in high school for his performance as a drummer. Norman continued to Inactive in the musical programs offered at WCU, playing in as many as seven bands at one time. He was hired during his freshman year to manage The Varsity Shop, then owned by two men from Boone and one from Statesville. He became more interested in the field of business, and thus changed his major to marketing. Outside of working at the Varsity Shop, which he eventually bought. West opened a number of other shops in the Cullowhee area. The first of these was in 1968 with the opening of the Cat's Den where Speedy's is now located. Later he and a partner opened a private club called the Top Cat Club (located where Upstairs Sound is now). Charging $5 per membership, only 55 people joined. Thus Cullowhee's first bar folded. In 1970, West and his partner opened Lord Ashbury's Golden Attic and Emporium featuring clothing, Antiques, and Junque. The shop was modeled after M. F. Shrews Holding Co. of Charlotte. The shop was the first head shop in Western North Carolina, featuring 21 flavors of rolling paper and 250 different posters, as well as a varity of black lights and strobe lights. Ahead of its time, Lord Ashbury's did not make it either. Next West opened Solo's House of Discount, which •Turn to Page 15, Please Norman West the world at a glance The World at a Glance Is compiled from the wires of Associated Press. Edited by Al Lagano NORTHBROOK, III—A survey of "Who's Who Among American High School Students" finds that the nation's outstanding teen-agers are "keen on religion and maintain traditional moral values." Ninety-two percent of student leaders believe there is a personal God or "vital force" in the world; 90 percent say religion plays a significant role in their own moral standards; 81 percent belong to an organized religion, and 62 percent attend services weekly. Among other findings, 76 percent say they haven't had sexual intercourse, predominantly because their own moral standards, and 82 percent prefer a traditional marriage. CLEVELAND—John White, a strict father who made his two teen-agers observe a 9 p.m. curfew, walked into his living room after work and came face-to-face with his killer, a man who police allege was hired for $60 by White's children. Police said the children—a 17-year old boy and a 14-year old girl—described how they hid their father's body in a back room after the slaying on February 9, then cashed his last paycheck and used his credit cards to go on a 10-day spending spree. WASHINGTON—Two senior members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee have agreed on legislation designed to insure Taiwan's security, congressional sources say. But the legislation, which the sources said is stronger than what President Carter has indicated he would approve, faces uncertain prospects in the committee. NEW ORLEANS—Mardi Gras season in New Orleans had a new look yesterday-stripped of its gaudy parades by Carnival captains who said they wanted to keep the festival from being held "hostage" by striking police. Carnival captains canceled all remaining city parades Tuesday—the first such action since the Korean war—to eliminate them as a factor in negotiations with the Teamsters-affiliated Police Association of Louisana. WASHINGTON—Egyptian and Israeli negotiators, meeting in the seclusion of Camp David, were opening another round of secret talks yesterday to see if a long-elusive peace treaty can be concluded. Far from public view, the two sides planned to meet at least until the weekend at the presidential retreat in Maryland. President Carter is likely to join them at some point. And he may invite Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin later if he decides that would help. SAN FRANCISCO—A woman who says a sex-change operation left her virtually neuter, neither man nor woman, is asking $7 million in damages from her physician, whose California medical license was later revoked. Jury selection was to begin yesterday in a suit by Julie Phillips, who has accused John Brown of medical improprieties in connection with two operations to change her from a man to a woman. "I don't know where I belong," Ms. Phillips told a reporter Tuesday. "I don't belong in the gay life. I don't belong in the straight life...It isn't the money, I want peace of mind." SALISBURY, Rhodesia—After six years of war, black nationalist guerrillas are reinforcing their armies inside Rhodesia and launching bold new strikes as their leaders vow to sabotage April elections and topple the first black-led government to emerge. The biracial transition government is strengthening its forces too—ordering an unprecedented mobilization of regular troops and reserves for the elections. All leaves have been canceled for the period before and after polling. The reserves can expand the permanent forces of about 12,000 into an army of about 45,000, and the aim is to raise the largest force ever fielded in the embattled breakaway British colony. BANGKOK, Thailand—Heavy fighting was reported on the eastern end of the Chinese-Vietnamese border as Vietnamese reinforcements poured into the Lang Son area. At the other end of the invasion front, the Chinese captured Lao Cai, northwest Vietnam's major communications and railway center on the Red River. The invaders were said to be 10 to 12 miles inside Vietnamese terrority, and each side claimed inflicting thousands of casualties. WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court said yesterday that it will decide whether the federal government may impose new standards for worker exposure to benzene, a cancer-causing chemical. The justices voted to review a lower court's ruling that struck down the standards, which could affect more than 600,000 workers and initially cost industries up to $500 million. The standards were established in 1977 by the Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration and were to have taken effect last March 4. BANGKOK, Thailand—Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman departed for Hanoi yesterday to discuss the refugee situtation and the fate of 5,000 American dependents or passport-holders remaining in Vietnam. The New York Democrat, chairman of the House Subcommittee on Refugees, Immigration and International Law, left Bangkok by commercial airline. She originally was scheduled to go to Hanoi Monday, but postponed her visit because of the war along the Chinese-Vietnamese border. WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court yesterday refused to get involved in a dispute between former Mecklenburg County, N.C, Sheriff Donald Stahl and two former deputies. The justices turned down an appeal by ex-deputies Everett McCollum and Irvin Crist aimed at nailing down a victory in their lawsuit against Stahl. The two former deputies sued Stahl after they were fired in 1974. BAL HARBOR, Fla.—An AFLCIO vice president and longtime George Meany supporter said yesterday that the AFLCIO president's strident attacks on President Carter may harm the labor movement and should be toned down. Sol Chaikin. president of the International Ladies' Garment Workers Union, said the he remains an ardent Meany loyalist and admirer but believes Meany should exercise more restraint in his sweeping criticisms of Carter. The 84-year old Meany on Monday lashed at Carter's performance on both domestic and foreign policy matters, singling out the trouble in Iran as an example of what he termed poor judgements by the administration. FRANKFORT, Ind.—A distraught husband who held police at bay for more than five hours as he rode in a commandeered patrol car with a hostage gave up peacefully after meeting with his estranged wife, officers said. State Police Detective Sgt. Robert Fox said the man, Doug Meyers, 21, of Kirklin. gave up yesterday after being allowed to speak with his wife as officers stood by. The hostage, Kirklin Town Marshal Ron Devore, was released unharmed when Meyers was allowed to speak with his wife, Fox said.
