  • ^Western Caroliifiaif cuiiowhee, nc j^g voice of the Catamounts Volume 59 Number 19 1 Pirates'' sail into Cullowhee Hayley Nicholas StaffReporter JP "Pirates of Penzance" is billed internationally as Gilbert and Sullivan at their best. Members of WCU's cast of "Pirates" prefer to term their production, which opened last night and continues through Saturday, a non-stop raucous romp of a musical. "There's never a moment without singing, dancing or a joke," stated Mark Osborn who plays Samuel, a member of the cu t-throat band of pirates after whom the musical is named. With fourteen song and dance numbers in each of the two acts, there's not much time for anything else. The cast of thirty creates a constant barrage of lusty pirates, bumbling bobbies (British cops) and flowery maidens fillingHoey's stage to capacity. Music is provided by a twenty-fivepieceorchestraofWCU students and professionals conducted by Robert Holquist. Director Lawrence J. Hill was joined by Mary Kay Bauer as Music Director and Libby Trull as Choreographer in bringing "Pirates" to the Cullowhee stage. Susan Brown- Strauss performed double duty as costume and set designer, while Richard Beam designed the lighting. "It's been a massive undertaking," Christopher Bumgarner said of the play and his role. He is Frederic, one of the principle characters. "I'll be sad when it's done." "Pirates" is officially known as an operetta, which means that there's not much dialogue to carry the plot along. The songs often relate the story. "It's not straight opera, so people who don't like opera should lovethis," predicted PhoebeEsmon who plays a maiden, one of nine sisters. "Pirates of Penzance" is the tale of Frederic, a young man with an overpoweringly Victorian sense of duty and a terrible case of bad luck. As the show opens he is preparing to leave the band of pirates to which he was mistakenly apprenticed as a child. He leaves the band with the intentionof marryinghis maid,Ruth (ReneeGriffith),whohasconvinced him she is young an beautiful. Being a pirate, his exposure to women was somewhat limited. This changes almost the moment he earns his freedom. Frederic encoun- See "Pirates," page"!

No, it's not some war dance performed by Nica- raguan guerrilla rebels. It's strictly American, north eastern to be exact, in origin. Contra dancing is to New England what square dancing is to Appalachia—a folk tradition that is alive and well and still being enjoyed. In fact, you could enjoy it your- self tomorrow night in the Grandroom of the UC. Cathy Henson, a dance caller and teacher from Asheville, will call a contra dance beginning at 8 pm. Music will be provided by "Contradic tion," an Asheville based band that adds an unorthodox twist of conga drums to the traditional guitar and fiddle of contra dance music. Contra dancing is experiencing a widespread renaissance these days, mainly because it is energetic and beginner-friendly. Each dance is taught before it is called, and the See "Contra," page 2 Pretty Maids, All in a Row - There'll be more than simply pirates bounding across the stage during WCU's production of the musical comedy "The Pirates of Penzance."

Morgan is best remembered for his invention of the automatic traffic signal which brought order from chaos in the nation's streets and improved traffic safety. He also invented a gas mask, widely used by firemen in American cities in the early 1900's and by soldiers on the battlefields of Europe during World War I. Morgan was bom March 4,1875, in Paris, Kentucky. He moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, at 14, and with only a fifth grade education, he secured a job as a handy man in a sewing machine shop. Morgan's first invention was a belt fastener for sewing machines, which he sold, in 1901, for $50.00. In 1909, he opened a tailoring shop, employing32 workers, which manufactured dresses, suits and coats. Morgan then directed his attention to perfecting a breathing device which he patented in 1914. This gas mask was widely used by engineers, chemists and working men who were exposed to noxious fumes or dust. He later modified it See "Morgan,"-page. 2 )
