WESTERN CAROLINIAN/April 10, 1980 Pevehouse Theory: Goceries for free It still may be possible to have your cake and eat it too, but Mrs. Cheryl Pevehouse has discovered a way to have her cake and make money eating it. She has been called the "Coupon Queen" in her hometown of Columbia, S.C., and the Washington Post even went so far as to recently call her "a near-fanatic coupon-clipper and refund-requester.'' Actually Mrs. Pevehouse is an enlightened consumer who has walked into a supermarket, selected four bags of groceries and then moved on to the check-out counter to collect a 20-cent profit. She once visited a store and selected groceries valued at $47.65 and got 11 cents at the cashier instead of paying a penny. On another occasion she purchased $11.95 worth of groceries for $2.55 in cash, then mailed in coupons that brought her an additional $9 in cash or product refunds, all resulting in her original $11.95 in groceries and $6.45 profit. "There're enough offers out." says Mrs. Pevehouse, "that if you took advantage of every one, which would be hard to do, you could make $8,000 a year plus your free groceries." Less than two years ago, Mrs. Pevehouse was earning a salary of about $9,000 as a nurse while her husband was in medical school. Now that people are discovering her methods of clipping and refund-seeking she edits an ever-growing newsletter called "Cash From Trash" and will net close to $30,000 this year. Although her husband is now a doctor, Mrs. Pevehouse has not lost her zeal for finding ways to make the grocery bill pay itself. "Most people don't do it on the scale I do," she said. "Most do it to cut grocery bills. I do it to pay the grocery bill." Whichever category might interest you. Mrs. Pevehouse is more than willing to share her secrets and will be doing so in a series of lectures and appearances April 17-18 in Cullowhee, Sylva, Franklin and Asheville. Her visit is sponsored by WCU's division of continuing education. On Thursday, April 17, Mrs. Pevehouse will lecture in the Mary Will Mitchell Room of WCU's Brown Cafeteria from noon until 2 p.m. Admission will be $5. The cafeteria line will be open and those desiring to bring their lunch can do so. NOW THREE REASONS TO BUY' 2. CHOOSE A selection ol 17 innovative and contemporary styles on display this week only.

Clark Terry performs with Jazz Ensemble I, directed by Dr. Bill Gora, in Farthing Auditorium on Saturday evening at 8 p.m. Terry, who appeared with the ASU Band in 1977, has consistently been one of the most sought after professional trumpet players in the world. A veteran of some forty years of professional playing, he has performed with the bands of Charlie Barnet, Charlie Ventura, Eddie Vinson, Count Basic, and was a featured soloist with the Duke Ellington Orchestra. In 1960 he joined the NBC-TV staff and was featured with Skitch Henderson's "Tonight" Show orchestra. In New York, Clark is one of the busiest studio musicians, with many albums recorded under his own name as well as appearing with many other artists and jazz groups. In his guest appearances he gives equal time to the Flugelhorn, a larger brother of the trumpet with a fuller sound. He stresses the importance of achieving a close rapport with his audience and always seeks to communicate warmth and happiness. Clark and the band will perform the world premiere of "In Memorium: Edward Kennedy Ellington" by James Drew, a former pianist with Clark, who is presently Composer-in-Residence Jor the North Carolina Arts Council.
