All branches of the various Farms were required to send their delegates to the meeting, and I was elected to represent the lowly Slaves' United Government (SLUG). The well-planned and well-attended sessions were designed to familiarize the delegates with all functions of the Plantation, so that everybody, from Slave to Worker, from lowest Farmer up to the highest Foreman and all their secretaries, assistants, and friendly cronies, might know just what to do and whom to know when the fresh group of Slaves arrive for the Fall Plowing. Among other things, I discovered which Foreman to contact for assistance with a panty raid, how to improve outbreaks of certain infectious diseases in the Slave Quarters, and whether to call the Plantation Police or the county sheriff in order to locate the Traffic and Security Director. All such information was designed to aid everyone "to hopefully contribute more significantly to the highly successful and beneficial operation of the Plantation," to quote one of the more eloquent higher Mid-Formen. Above all, everyone attending this "Retreat" thoroughly enjoyed the Closing Party. The local "Wildwood Flower" band provided the entertainment, and the food and liquid refreshments were produced entirely on the Plantation; most especially, all delegates delighted in trying the new, carefully- controlled tobacco-substitute substance that was successfully developed on the Long Branch Farm, Earth Products Division, during the past year. Each person was presented with a package of four of these strongly- scented, hand-rolled, greenish-colored cigarettes, temporarily labelled "Highland Flings," but it is quietly believed that a menthol-flavored companion brand will be called "Kullowhee Kools." Everyone present, at the express request of the High Foreman, sampled the new product to such an extent that a fresh supply had to be sent for. The party lasted well into the following morning, at which time a bowl of the new cereal manufactured on the Tilley Creek Farm and named "Munch-e/.e," was given to every delegate. Thus, since these heady festivities concluded on such a high note, we can look forward to quite a kicky trip this fall. Once again, the High Foreman has successfully inspired his troops to enjoy higher learning! Remember, says Shakespeare, "that memory the warder of the Brain,/Shall be a Fume." (Macbeth, I, vii, 65-66.) Elderhostel: You're Never Too Old To Learn "It's a fun way to combine an education and a vacation-" That's how Cynthia Shay, director of Elderhostel describes the program. Elderhostel is a program designed to enable people over 60 to come together and share a mutual learning experience at college campuses in all 50 states. In North Carolina, seventeen campuses offer an elderhostel program this summer. At WCU, 40 participants can choose in seven 1-week programs, each offering three courses ranging from "Happiness: The grand pursuit to solar energy uses and applications." The hostelers eat in the cafeteria along with regular students and are being housed in Robertson dorm. The program is in its fourth year at WCU. According to Shay, the hostelers enjoy the opportunity to interact with the regular students, and the students enjoy the life experiences of the Elders. The Elderhostel participants in the past have been impressed with the friendliness of Western students. The participants enjoy extra-curricular activities including plays, golf, tennis, and trips to points of interest such as Cherokee. Shay also confided that the Banana Split Day at the UE is also one of the more popular features to the Elderhostelers. Fees for the programs are $140 per person per week. This includes food and lodging.
