  • Volume 56 Number 10 Peop le The Western Carolinian Page 4^ Thursday, October '2b, 1990 Feaster credits grandmother for inspiration and encouragement Cassandra Barnett Staff Writer Sophia Feaster, a 21 year old senior from Gasionia, North Carolina, has a special talent for pcr- forming.aswellasa desire to counsel youth in troubled areas of the country. She is also active in black awareness events, and spends a lot of time with her sorority. Feaster is president of the WCU chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha, which is noted for being the first black sorority, and for its celebrity members G ladys Knight and Corctta Scott King. The sorority's motto is "Service to All Mankind," and it stresses a positive outlook toward all Greek organizations, black and white. While the sorority is not as large as some, Feaster feels that quality is more imporuuit than quantity. "Some people view wearing the letters and Rili f * 1 '- ____\ W/r ft j Carolinian photo by Jonathan f ondow Sophia Feaster having the most members as the most significant aspects of a sorority. To us, the service we render is what counts." Alpha Kappa Alpha supports service projects, including an African village adoption program. Members are currcnily raising money to help fund the development of water treatment systems in an underdeveloped village. Feaster says that her sorority is close to her heart and that it keeps her going. Also a member of the Organization of Ebony Students, Feaster wants to represent a positive racial image on campus. OES is involved in Black Awareness Month and Black Awareness Weekend, and recendy sponsored Stephanie Hilton, the third black homecoming queen at Western. Feaster helps promote multicultural interests through Last Minute Productions as well, including trips to the Dr. Martin Luther King Center in Atlanta. Other organizations she is associated with include the Criminal Justice Club and the WCU Inspirational Choir. She also sings the national anthem at home baseball games. Feaster chose to attend Western rather than a black college because she wanted to experience a setting with all races and classes of people. She also saw WCU as an opportunity for "all types of challenges" which would help her learn more about independence and responsibility. She explains why she is so involved in various campus organizations, "I want to be a light on campus and show people that I'm trying to make a difference, because we're all in this together. We all need each other." The Inspirational Choir, which performs in cities around North and South Carolina, is nothing new to Feaster. Her friends and relatives realized her ability to perform when she was quite young. Her first speaking part was in a play called "God's Trombone" at her homcchurch when she was ten. Feaster can still recite some of the forty-five page monologue with a great deal of emotion. She was also very active in the youth choir as a teenager, and is now the director. The choir is composed of a group of "very talented young ladies" between the ages of eight and sixteen. Feaster enjoys working with the group for more than the musical rewards. "The girls look up to me as a big sister, a mother, and a lot of them look up to me as a friend." She believes that everyone needs someone to talk to and tries to be a positive influence in her role as director/friend. "We talk aboulboysand sex and different issues. I tell them, 'You always have lime in life for these things, but get an education. That will take you through life.' " Feastcr's own inspiration has been her grandmother. She encouraged her young granddaughter to stay involved with music and the church, Local band offers 'back-to-the-basics' sound Jeffrey Sykes staff writer Over the course of the next few weeks the local music scene will be brought out of obscurity and into the limelight of Cullowhee. If you are part of, or associated with, a Cullowhee band, read on to the end. This week we will be focusing our attention on the cornerstone of Cullowhee rock and roll, taking a good hard look at Electro-Lux. To get a feel for Electro- Lux, one must take his mind back in time to the glorious decade of the '50s. The war was won, you liked Ike, T-birds, and poodle skirls. James Dean was hot and Norma Jean's candle still burned. The most important event of the decade was the birth of rock and roll. Rock 'n' roll is the musical form which combines elements of rhythm and blues with country and western music, having a heavily accented beat. This rockhas ever since driven parents, preachers, teachers and all others associated wilh the establishment crazy. "I think we do it to do service to the roots of rock and roll and to help people appreciate where the pop rock came from. Maybe disservice would be a better word," says David Lamanno. Dave is vocalist, songwriter and guitarist for the band. He, bassist Kevin Barber and drummer Neil Stephens, form Electro- Lux. The band got its start in the spring of 1989. Playing house parties was their main outlet, along with LMP's Open Mike Nite. Since that time they have been regulars at Open Mike Nite and the party scene. They have forged a hardcore following since then through their wit, outrageous style and musicianship. "We want to bring soul back into music by growing soul patches," says drummer Neil Stephens. "That's where it's at." Bassist Kevin Barber adds, "I do it to relieve my tensions." If you have ever seen Electro-Lux play then you know they definitely arc good for tension relief. "One of our goals when we play live," says Dave, "is to entertain by not being into ourselves, making poses and being flashy, but by making light of our shortcomings. We try to keep an older sound, something that isn't being done much. We try to create a sound that other groups don't have by play ing through vintage tube amps and Sears guitars." Also, if you have had the luck to see their act, you know Electro-Lux is known fortheirinsane stage behavior. Remember last year when they destroyed equipment, burned guitars and smashed accordions at Peace and Justice day? And, if you saw Open Mike Nite on the seventeenth, you saw them in true form. As for the costumes, Neil says, "We do it for cosmetic purposes; it's fun." "We try to gctpeople' s attention by wearing costumes," adds Dave. "We're a Cullowhee band so there is no real reason to be glamorous. We take pride in ineptitude. I'm proud to say we play no Led Zeppelin." As far as the overall band scene is concerned Dave says, "I want to see more bands formed because the music scene is dead here. I'd also like to see the school help campus bands out, instead of bring in bands from far away." Neil and Kevin agree. "It's good to have more bands," Neil comments. "They need to have more parties where bands can play," according to Kevin. Electro-Lux is a three-piece, down and dirty rock 'n' roll roots band. They play obscure '50s like Hazil Adkins and Esquenta, covers of Velvet Underground and the Cramps, Elvis tunes and fruity originals like "Kill Richard Marx" and "Blood Done Signed Your Name," songs about cannibals, strippers, and overall sleaze. Those wishing to contact the band can call Dave or Kevin at 293-7101. If you or your band would like equal time and space to be limelighted, contact Jeff at227 -6426. and her love and strength have meant a lot to Feaster. "If she hadn' t kept my mind occupied with activities that would benefit me in the long run, I would have fallen by the wayside." In return, Feaster would like to show other kids that they can reach their goals without many of the problems common in our society. "There are so many things I want to give youth that my grandmother gave to me. Drugs and pregnancy are destroying our young people. They need someone to tell them,'Justhang in there! You can do it.' " Feaster says that she really wants to make a concrete difference in somebody's life, and that she can do that by putting God first in her own life and working together with others. In the future, she would like to work wilh youth groups in areas that most people would shy away from because she feels that those are the places she would be needed most.
