February 29,1996 Western Carolinian Features Yearbook Editor Vows Quality by Scott Francis Associate Editor The office of the Catamount Yearbook is small—a couple of grungy chairs, a tiny computer and dozens of colorful magic-marker signs saying "REMEMBER, WE ARE A TEAM!" Margie Koch, editor in chief of the Catamount, launches into a tirade. "I find the lack of school spirit at this university disgusting," she says. "No one cares about the yearbook." In the past approximately 250 yearbooks have been sold each year. When you consider that over 7,000 students go to this school, then you can appreciate exactly how poor the amount of support has been. When Koch was hired as editor, she was told that she had to increase sales or the yearbook would be discontinued. She vowed to go head-to-head with student apathy and sell double what had been sold in past years. This didn't seem like such a tall order, but it seems that the student body is going to great lengths to prove her wrong. According to Koch, one student, when asked whether or not he was considering buying a yearbook, actually responded by saying, "Hell no!" This year the yearbook staff has doubled its efforts to produce a quality book and increase interest in the publication. Koch says, "I think the biggest thing we changed is that we actually spent tine on it." The yearbook promises more pictures and copy as well as representation of all campus life, including clubs and organizations, greeks, minorities, and your general, average Joe College. The last day to buy a yearbook is March 15. The cost is $22.50. "Instead of buying two cases of Bud Lite™ or six Whopper With Cheese Combos™, buy something more tangible," says Koch. And if you're thinking that you'll wait until next year and buy one for half price, think again: "You'll pay full price as long as I run this joint." Upcoming Women's History Month Events by Rachel Sheppard Staff Reporter •The League of Women Students is sponsoring a presentation by Civil War buff Lauren Cook Burgess during Western Carolina University's celebration of Women's History Month. Cook Burgess will present letters she found from Private Lyons Wakeman. Wakeman was actually Rosetta Wakeman, a farm girl from upstate New York who disguised herself as a man and fought during the Civil War. She was born in 1843 and was the oldest of nine children. She ran away from home at the age of 19 and assumed her male identity. Wakeman died during the war in 1864. The presentation will be March 4 at 7 p.m. in McKee 150. •Dr. Trudier Harris, professor of English at Emory University, will discuss the stereotypes of African- American women on March 5 at 7 p.m. in Forsyth Auditorium. Harris, who has taught English since 1973, is a recognized scholar in Black American Literature and Women's Literature. Among her works are books about James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, Zora Neale Hurston and Gloria Naylor. Her lecture, entitled "This Disease Called Strength: Black Women and the American Literary Landscape," is sponsored by the English, History and Social Work and Sociology Departments. For more information on this Women's History Month celebration event, please contact Dr. Jo Ann Hickey. WCU Experiences Sensual Brazilian Music by Ann Wright Staff Reporter Think of the most sensual experience you've ever had. Then, imagine what that experience might sound like if it were set to music. That melody would probably come very close to the sound of Brazilian music. On Thursday night, February 22, Western Carolina University's own Professor Matthew Nicholl and his friends brought a sampling of the sultry sounds of Brazil to the Coulter Recital Hall. All twelve pieces plus the encore (brought on by two standing ovations from the crowd) overflowed with passion. The first piece, "Aquarela do Brasil" by Ary Barroso, was quick and intense. The sounds of clinking glasses could almost be heard as Nicholl's piano, Eliot Wadopian's bass, and Ozzie Orengo and Byron Hedgepeth's drums transported the audience to a Latin club. Nicholl seemed like a blur of black ink as he wildly caressed the keys of his piano. "A Felicidade" by Antonio Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes from the Academy Award-winning movie Orfeo Negro mellowed the sound considerably and provided a good contrast to the first arrangement. In the third piece, Oscar Castro-Neves' samba in bossa nova "Felicia and Bianca," Alan Mattingly's horn added to the other instruments to again quicken the pace of the performance. Nicholl then played alone on "Travessia," a piece by Milton Nascimento, Fernando Brant, and Geen Lees. Jobim and Chico Buarque's elegant "Retrato em Branco e Preto" in a minor key followed. Brad Ulrich on flugelhorn came in to bring a mellow quality to the piece. Vocalists Chris Houston and Kathy Dittman joined the instrumentalists during the sixth piece of the evening, Ivan Lins and Vitor Martins' bittersweet samba "Ce." Their soft voices blended so perfectly that they seemed just like the addition of two new instruments. Houston said that, in preparation for the performance, he practiced alone with a tape and a chart of music and with Dittman only twice. That Thursday night was the first time the vocalists had performed with Nicholl and the other instrumentalists. No incongruity could be detected anywhere in their performance, though. "Embola A Bola" by Djavan brought a combination of funk, reggae, and samba while Dori Caymmi's 1995 piece "Sambo Novo" gave the audience a taste of contemporary samba. Jazz's influence on Brazilian music was given a nod in Carlos Lyra's slippery samba "Influencia do Jazz." In Eliane Elias' "Moments," brushes and string bass were used to create a dreamy, lazy day feeling. Bass Chris Houston performed a stirring vocal solo in Luiz Bonfa's "Manha de Carnival," also from the Orfeo Negro soundtrack. Of the love ballad, Houston commented, "It's a song I will continue to sing." Yet another piece from Orfeo Negro, Bonfa's "Samba de Orfeo," was the scheduled close of the performance. The chair-dancing audience, however, wanted more. The slick sambaists obliged with a piece from "The Girl from Ipanema."
