FEBRUARY 22, 1979/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/PAGE 15 Norman West: a Cullowhee odyssey •From Put 1 4T # •From Page 3 was a "Sky City for college kids", supplying students with items necessary for dormitory or apartment living at extremely reduced prices. Solo's was also the first record shop in Cullowhee. West's next business venture, and probably the least successful was the selling of Domes, better known as Bubble houses. After its flop, West sold out of all businesses except The Varsity Shop. Presently, his only other interests lie in the property he owns, the apartments he leases above Cullowhee Outfitters and the ownership of the Pro Shop at Forest Hills. As golf is one of Norman's major interests and hobbies, each July he sponsors the Varsity Shop Invitational at Forest Hills. West himself loves to play golf; his favorite course is Springdale located between Waynesville and Brevard. Also he says "1 watch tournaments on TV religiously." West also enjoys canoeing. His favorite trip is from Cullowhee to Fontana through the Tuckaseegee Gorge. "It's being near Fontana Lake and the Smokey Mountain State Park that keeps me in Cullowhee. West is interested in the folklore and culture of the area and collects paintings and Indian basket work The small town -university almosphcrc holds its appeal for West. •'However," he retorts, "in the fifteen vears I've been here there has never been a time that the campus was not dug up!" With the building of the airport and the construction of the four-lane through the center of campus, we are "losing our quaintness," he says. In regard to future plans for the Varsity Shop, West s.ivs In- would like SO expand to open a separate ladies' shop and make the Varsity Shop exclusively a men's shop. In so doing, West would continue to provide clothing and sportswear for the collegiate market. When asked how he chooses what lines to buy for his shop, Norman says its really a difficult process, as he tries to offer something different than the local department shop. Anything that strikes his fancy as an unusual and sellable product he tries. An example would be the "Snugly" he stocks, a back pack to accomodate an infant up to two years of age. The Product runs around $50. It has been a good seller due to its adjustability and resale value. Other items that STRAND THEATRE 456-8551 Admission for each of these movies - ONE BUCK!

Surprisingly enough, a big seller this fall was men's suits and dress pants In women's wear, India Imports have been one of West's major lines. He likes to stock natural fiber clothing and thus finds this type of line to fit his customers' needs When asked about upcoming fashion, West says all that was being shown in Charlotte for fall was rHseO clothes, which have not proved to be a big fad in Cullowhee, and doubtfully ever will. As a result West will stock some "Annie Hall look, India Imports, some traditional separates, and of course plenty of blue jeans." One of West's primary concerns at this time is the energy shortage. He is quite interested in alternate energy sources and alternate house designs that would prove more energy efficient. About nuclear power. West says the manufacture of such power scares him to death. He feels a great injustice is being done to future generations through our production of nuclear waste, which as of yet we have no place to store safely. Solar energy on the other hand intrigues him. He has built two solar collectors and has taken a class in solar energy at Southwestern. A recent experience West enjoyed immensely was the chance to work with a major motion picture company in the production of a Peter Sellers' film, "Being There." In the film, West plays a presidential Secret Service man as well as playing Jack Warden's stand m. The picture, in which Sellers co-stars with Shirley Mel aine, West predicts will be hilarious in keeping with the tradition of Sellers' past films. Several rimes during production, West says, a scene would have to be shot over just because the actors and crew would "bust up laughing at Sellers." Much of the movie is being shot in and around the Biltmore House, and production will continue then for six and a half more weeks. This week however. West has more important things to be concerned with than his "movie career" as he is to be married this weekend to Carol May of Glenville. • 4 r W€ AR€ NOT ALON€ -4v ^Sflafl n * ■pG/MCtlTftl GUOANCt SUSBSTtQ «XM L^Lf, M^nuaam pjsurraaurae >• -»^| S€ GNCOUNTGRS OF TH€ THIRD KIND (JHIGINAL!>OUNOIHACKAVAItABlf-ON*RtStARFCOROS & TA« 4*0t\%.
