  • Et cetera By CHIP HAMMOND Staff Columnist Well, I'm back again. No more "Dear Mom" letters though. Let's face it, they were getting a little old. Et cetera |in small letters] is the name of this new column. I bet you're just dying to know how I came up with a name like et cetera. Well, it's Latin for "and so on" or something like that. But you already knew that. It's the little "etc." you use on essay tests when you can't think of anything else to write. [And all this time you thought you were really fooling people!] Well, I was lying in bed the other night and I couldn't sleep because I was trying to think of a name for this column.The column is suppose to be about college life, but it's suppose to be broad in scope. Sounds like a paradox to me. The first title I came up with was "College Life." Somehow, that lacked something. So then I thought of "The College Years." Come on Chip, you can do better than this. By now it's 3 a.m. My next biggie was something really creative: "College Kids," with the "s" written backwards and all the letters written kind of crooked. Next, I thought I'd get exotic and use a foreign phrase. 4 a.m.: "Cul-de-sac". Sounds kinda good, but definitely too commltal. It's kind of pessimistic and negative, and I didn't think the column would always be that way. Then I thought of "et cetera", but 1 didn't like it. So then I came up with "Vis-a-vis," and "viz," before I started getting really tired and decided on "et cetera," subject to change. ["Subject to Change" wouldn't have been a bad name either, except it doesn't sound like Cullowhee.]. You know how sometimes you can come up with an idea or make a decision that you really don't think is all that great, but then you start trying to justify It anyway until it starts sounding pretty good? That's what I did with "et cetera." I thought, "Well, it's definitely non-commltal. It's sort of foreign and literary in a way...and I think it's kind of satyrical! Yes, by God it is ! I mean think of it: all these people are reading the news and then they come to this column which in essence says... and so on... It's a satyre on news. And college life just goes on and on too, [especially for some of us], so It's about college life." So that is my justification. Now I'm out of things to write. Well all I have to say Is the same old stuff: Welcome back to Cullowhee, hope you had a good break, welcome all in-coming freshmen, goodbye all out-going drop-outs, it's not good to drink and drive, you might hit a bump and spill the whole thing, etc. you STIL.L JL/KCK. +09?//CotfsJ OH &OOAJO/ THAT /^lSAA/5 At£^a/5.. Voice of the students Yandle is naive J To the Editor, In response to Yandle's pro-nuclear editorial, a few facts that he ignores: Three Mile Island, if nothing else, should point out the inevitability of human and mechanical error. This is unacceptable when dealing with the awesome power of nuclear fission. Had a meltdown occurred there (and no one knew if they could prevent it), it would have devastated some of the most beautiful and productive land in the world, and contaminated any inhabitants who did not flee in time. Ironically, those who stood to lose the most from an accident at Three Mile Island-the Amish farmer-were those who have no use for any of our technology. Even more terrifying are the steadily growing piles of radioactive waste, for which there does not exist a safe system of disposal. This stuff will be around for thousands of years, long after we have burned our electricity and died. The justification that no one has yet died due to a nuclear accident is unbelievably naive. Radiation works subtly on the human body, inducing such horrors as leukemia, cancer, birth defects, and others, I'm sure, that we have yet to discover. We are talking about agony. Death, ultimately, is blessed .relief... The answer to the energy crunch lies in a more thoughtful, intelligent, and far-sighted approach to life and the planet we inhabit-not the continual mindless exploration and contamination of our fragile environment. If we leave anything to posterity, it should be a habitable world and a respect for it, not a dubious technology and stockpiles of lethal waste. Americans do indeed need to "face up to reality." Splitting atoms is inherently dangerous, and building nuclear reactors all over the world will not make that fact disappear. Rick Pace Webster Mr. Pace, how naive of you. Death will become a blessed relief without nuclear power because of the horrible side effects of NO energy. Life depends upon human technology and its populous co-operating in a joint effort to better our nation. That future most assuredly includes nuclear power. YANDLE June 7,1979/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/Page 3 Cullowhee music festival date set June 14 through 24 are the dates for this year's Cullowhee Music Festival, and area music lovers are already making plans to attend the varied programs of the festival, now in its fifth year Area newcomers are often surprised to learn they needn't necessarily travel to Cullowhee to enjoy the concerts. The Cullowhee Music Festival, sometimes called the festival on wheels, has earned a reputation for taking music to the people. This year's schedule includes 12 performances in five western North Carolina locations. The full festival will include performances by the Festival Orchestra, the Festival Opera, soprano Jeanette Lombard, the Howard Hanger Jazz Fantasy, and chamber ensembles. Dwight Oltman will be back for a third season as conductor of the Festival Orchestra. Oltman has been music director and conductor of the Ohio Chamber Orchestra since it was begun in 1972. He also is music director of the Cleveland Ballet, the Symphony Orchestra at the Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory of Music, and the Baldwin-Wallace Bach Festival, the second oldest Bach festival in America. Oltman studied composition with Nadia Boulanger in France and conducting with Pierre Monteux, Max Rudolf and Richard Lert. He is one of two American conductors selected to participate in the 1971 Inter- national Conducting Competition in Rome. Oltman has studied at the Eastman School of Music, Wichita State University, and the University of Cincinnati. The Festival Opera this year is Johann Strauss' "Die Fledermaus", which will be sung in English at 8:15 p.m. June 22-23 m Hoey Auditorium at WCU. Soprano Jeanette Lombard will perform the role of Rosalinda. Miss Lombard is no stranger to festival audiences, having appeared in festival operas for the past two years—"Cost fan Tutte" in 1977 and "Tosca" last year. She made her operatic debut in Philadelphia and, after winning many awards, was the recipient of a Fulbright scholarship for opera study in Rome. After a period of concertizing in Italy, Austria and Germany, she returned to this country, where she has become well known throughout the Southeast for her numerous concert and operatic performances. Others in the opera cast are Temple Smith as Alfred, Scott Berry as Eisenstein, Edgar vom Lehn as Dr. Falke, Jacquelyn Culpepper as Adele, Paula Barron as Prince Orlofsky, Felix Batten as Dr. Blind, and Keith Kolakowski as Frosch. Musical director is Temple Smith, and chorus master is Joyce Farwell. Oltman will conduct. The full schedule of concerts follows: June 14, 8:15 p.m.. Festival Orchestra Concert, Fine Arts Center, Franklin. June 15, 8:15 p.m., "An Entertainment", WCU Music Recital Hall. June 16, 6 p.m., Festival Orchestra Pops Concert, High Hampton Inn. Cashiers.

"We haven't reached an agreement as of yet, simply because I haven't had anything to offer. When I do, I don't see any reason why we can't come to some agreement," said Christy. Because WCU owns all power poles in Cullowhee, Christy will have to work out an agreement with the university before Cullowhee can receive cable service. If Christy succeeds in bringing cable TV to Jackson County, the cost will be $25 for installation and $8 per month. If a client desires to have the additional "Box Office"service, (first run, commercial-free movies out of New York), there will be an additional charge of $15 for installation and $10 per month. Cable TV is a system for distributing audiovisual information via coaxial cable. It brings in stations that cannot ordinarily be obtained by outside antenna. Each channel (Christy will offer at least nine) is of the same quality.
