  • The^stern Carolinian The Voice of the Students 12 PAGES THURSDAY JUNE 7, 1979 Vol. XLIV. No. 32 CULLOWHEE, N C Cable TV could be in Cullowhee's future By Lane Gardner Staff Writer Cable TV in Cullowhee is gradually becoming more than just a possibility. Mr. William Christy of Sylva, who has franchise rights for Jackson County, is now waiting on his funding to come through before beginning construction of facilities. "I had a little problem getting my money arranged due to the high interest rate. I was trying to hedge that, but it looks like there's no getting around it. From all indications, maybe I can get started within the next 30 to 60 days," explained Christy. Christy, who has been working on this project for the past year, sys, "It's been a long, hard struggle. Many things have had to be considered.'' Pole attachment agreements had to be worked out with the telephone and power companies. Also, a site had to be pinpointed for location of the headend station. Enrollment is up . Christy says he now has two locations which are suitable for a headend station. One is at Locust Creek and the other is on Carter Top at Dick's Creek. If the headend station is built on Carter Top, Christy says he will serve Cherokee in addition to Jackson County. Christy has been working closely with Cherokee and STI. He says both are interested in originating programming. According to Christy, Cherokee has already made an application for a grant for studio equipment and for assistance in purchasing necessary amplifiers. Also, STI has already purchased a camera. Concerning WCU, Christy says Chancellor H.F. Robinson is very interested in bringing cable service to Turn to Page 3, Please Believe it or not It's quiet around Cullowhee and one could hardly tell enrollment was up over last summer. But it is and a full 3.9 percent. Enrollment for both sessions of summer school is 2,171 students taking a combined total of 14,479 credit hours. Of these students, 1470 are undergraduates and 701 are graduate students. Last year 2,089 students took courses totaling 14,261 credit hours.Besides the 3.9 percent increase in students, the summer school offices also noted the 1.53 percent increase in credit hours. Of the students enrolled in summer school classes, 701 are taking WCU classes at UNC-Asheville. There Woodstock are also students enrolled in WCU classes in other North Carolina cities which are not reflected in the figures. These figures may still increase as incoming students register for the second session of summer school. Students who have already registered for second session are included in the above totals. Besides regular students taking courses at WCU, the school will host a number of camps, both athletic and educationally oriented, as well as various other activities in the weeks to come this summer. So, by the time the second session of summer school rolls around, WCU might not be such a quiet place. Munch out! (ATTENTION ALL STAFF MEMBERS! The Wester Carolinian is having a meeting Monday night at 7 p.m'.l The only justification for missing is if there is a death in| the family-YOURS. The names are the same -only the characters have changed by MALCOLM N. CARTER Associated Press Writer WHITE LAKE, N.Y. (AP)— Although it was music that drew hundreds of thousands of young people to this Catskills hamlet on a steamy August weekend in 1969, they also came to the Woodstock festival to celebrate the spirit of social revolution. But no revolution came. . The Woodstock generation grew up and became the establishment it so opposed, its dream of creating an alternative society now gone. Like generations before, members of the Woodstock nation have taken up traditional lives. Thanks to women's liberation, more work than in previous ages. And, says the National Association of Home Builders, they bought a "starting" half million houses last vear. It was always a generation of contradictions-of flower children who opposed the war and "hardhats" who waged it-and differences remain among its members, now in their late 20s and 30s. Most of the Woodstock gene ration settled in-working, buying, rearing families like almost everyone else. But remnants of their ideals endure. They have translated the old slogans of peace and love into a greater desire to serve humanity and to fulfill themselves as well--increasingly at the expense of marriage and children. Moreover, business executives note a new skepticism among employees and a reduced willingness to sacrifice everything for the job. Along with a continued wish to "do your own thing", the Woodstock generation has left as its legacy a more relaxed view of sex and drugs. But when lots of people took to wearing bell-bottom jeans and smoking marijuana, these symbols of a generations protest lost their impact as political statements. "The trappings have given way to a search of real fundamental meanings of existence," says Peter Coyote, who went straight "when the revolution failed to materialize." A member of the "diggers," a group which sprang up to look after the hippies in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury, he is now the chairman of the California Arts Council. IT WAS opposition to the Vietnam war that galvanized his generation, and once the danger of the draft was gone, so was the urgency for activism. And as the economic boom of the 1960s ended, the Woodstock nation became more concerned about self-preservation. "They have joined the establishment in the sense that you probably will not be able to find distinguishing characteristics for them." says University of Michigan political scientist Arthur Miller, adding that the group does not seem "sharply different" from any others. But they never truly were, according to many social scientists. Most were white and middle- class, notes Cornell sociology professor Glen H. Elder Jr. Despite the talk of a "generation gap," he adds, the '60s youth and their parents were not really so far apart. "The differences tended to be just in how each generation perceived each other," Elder says. Studying 100 suburban high school boys for 10 years starting in 1962, the Universitv of Chicago's Dr. Daniel Offer reached similar findings. Surprisingly, he says, the students were the same as their parents in sexual behavior and attitude, and they were no more idealistic. When the Woodstock nation massed on the late Max Yas- gur's vast and muddy dairy pasture to hear such flawed idols as Janis Joplin and Jimmy Hendrix in 1969, it was the Age of Aquarius. "What Woodstock meant that was really unique was that we were all part of one community," sociologist Richard Flacks recollects. But the new age already was waning. When a youth was killed at the Altamont music festival in California later that year, it was a last gasp. Too, by the end of 1970, a near decade of plenty was ending as the country slipped toward a recession. The Woodstock nation stumbled into adulthood, its dream colliding with new economic realitied. According to Alvin Toffler, author of "Future Shock", all the Woodstock nation did was take up old arguments against the industrial revolution. It glorified a "mythical past" in which people lived off the land, their wits and their skills, says Toffler. Sociologist Vern Bengtsson of the University of Southern California adds that sheer mass-the "baby boom" came of age then- helps explain the generation's optimistic belief it could change the world. In his study of 2,000 individuals from three generations of families, Bengtsson found that the youth movement had altered Turn to Page 9, Please.
