  • Western Carolinian October 20, 1994 Features Author Vonnegut to Give Asheville Performance f Author Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., a man of irrepressible wit and melodious words is giving a benefit performance for The Writers' Workshop on Saturday, October 22, 1994 from 3:30pm to 5:30pm at the Jubilee Center at 46 Wall Street in Asheville. Author of numerous novels, stories and plays such as: Slapstick, Slaughterhouse Five; Breakfast of Chamipions; Happy Birthday, Wanda Jane; and Hocus-Pocus, Vonnegut will give a discussion followed by a reception and autographing. Author Gail Godwin will also be on hand to make the introduction. Tickets are available at most Asheville bookstores and by writing The Writers' Workshop at PO Box 696, Asheville, NC 28802. Vonnegut's career spans six decades, beginning in 1947 as a police reporter for the Chicago City News Bureau followed by the publishing of his first novel, Player Piano, in 1952. Although he is now one of America's most widely-read and well- respected novelists, Vonnegut was virtually ignored by critics from the beginning of his writing career until the 1963 publication of Cat's Cradle. Apparently his early classification as a Science Fiction writer and his working knowledge of technology played against him. With typical wit, Vonnegut told Publishers Weekly contributor Wendy Smith, "My education is technical... I started out to be a biochemist, then after World War II, I took a degree in anthropology. Why wouldn't I be interested in technology? There is this prejudice on the part of critics, who customarily are English majors, that anybody who understands how a refrigerator works couldn't possibly be an artist." His career also experienced a major transition when author Graham Greene called Cat's Cradle, "one of the three best novels of the year by one of the most able living writers." By 1973 when Breakfast of Champions appeared in a hardbound First printing of 100,000 copies and as the major selection of lour book clubs, the transition was well underway. Vonnegut began garnering international attention (including runner-up for the Nobe! Prize) and continues to be on the cutting edge of American literature. His imaginative works have captured the interest of every generation, in no small part due to the timelessness of themes begun in The Sirens of Titan, published in 1959 and running throughout much of his later work: the futility of trying to change the world and, as a result, the necessity of change within the individual. ^ Smoky Mountain Students Send Out an Open Letter on AIDS Earle Wheeler Associate Editor An interesting twist in education has occurred on the tailwind of AIDS awareness week. Students from Smoky Mountain High School are sending an important message to our state representatives. The members of a Law Tech class, numbering fifteen, have prepared the following letter: Dear North Carolina Legislators: On behalf of the students of Smoky Mountain High School and other interested citizens, we urgently plead with you to inact a law to protect our future. Wc ask that the willful transmission of the HIV virus (AIDS) be made a serious crime. We feel that a person who knows, or reasonably should know, that they have AIDS and willfully transmits that disease to someone else without their consent, is committing a malicious act with intent to ^ cause death to the victim. This is in no way meant to condemn innocent victims of this disease. We feel that the punishment for this crime should be life without parole. The only exception to this punishment would be that offenders that willingly participate in scientific research to find a cure for AIDS would be considered for parole, if a cure is found. Also, all medical personnel should be required to furnish information to law enforcement in order to conduct a criminal investigation into this crime. As voters, potential voters, and citizens, wc urge you to act quickly. Please cross party lines and act in unison to save our lives. Thank you. This letter is on its way to Raleigh though Rep. Charles Beall for legal research to sec if it could be made a law. The class has also sent copies of this letter to local press and radio, as well as other state n eprcsentatives.
