Western Carolinian Features Original Members of Parliament to Tear Roof Off UC By Eric Newsom Staff Writer The history of the Parliament Funkadelic is a funny, and sometimes confusing thing. Break-ups and reconstructions of the band have resulted in, at this humble reporter's count, three different incarnations of the P- Funk. The first, George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic is spearheaded by the lively dreadlocked singer. Billy "Bass" Nelson heads another, called O.G. Funk. Funk founders Bootsy Collins and Bernie Worrell both have thriving solo careers. Last, but by no means least, is the group who will be performing this Friday night in the UC Grandroom. The Original P-Funk, led by founding members Fuzzy Haskins, Grady Thomas, Calvin Simon, and Ray Davis. Is there such a thing as too much funk? Not by a long shot. Each of these bands has the power to call down the groovalicious and world- famous mothership to tear the roof off the proverbial sucka. And the funkasaurus isn't going extinct as long as long as the Original P has anything to say about it. Many folks say that they've heard of Parliament but never actually heard their music. The reality of it is that most people have heard the Funkadelic, but they just didn't realize who it was. In addition to funk classics like "Give Up the Funk," "Flash Light," or "Dr. Funkenstein" their music has appeared in more rap and DJ samplings than probably any other artist. For those who still are still not sure what the "funk" is, imagine the most butch disco song you can possibly muster, add a stronger snap- n-pop bassline, syncopated drum beats, catchier lyrics, the occasional strong brass section, a bigger party atmosphere, and a greater booty-shakin' factor. Oh, also put everybody in outrageous looking costumes and playing instruments. Then prepare to get funkified. If someone out there is still not convinced that they will feel the power of the funk, then consider this. All four founders of the Original P-Funk are members of the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. There's got to be a reason for that. For a refresher course in what the Parliament was all about, I suggest taking a listen to the penultimate funk album, "One Nation Under A Groove," or their greatest hits album "Tear The Roof Off: 1974-1980." To get an inkling of what the Original P-Funk sounds like, check out their album "What Dat Shakin'?" The show starts this Friday night at 9:30 p.m. in the Grandroom of the University Center. So blow the cobwebs out of your mind, call down the mothership, take a trip to Chocolate City, and the behind will follow. For more information, call the Univesity Center Information Desk at 227- 7206. WCU Searches for Professor of Musical Theater By Melissa Dills Staff Writer Many readers are aware of the timely updates on Western's theater department, but one must admit that it is a truly busy and happening place. Otherwise, the wordtheater would seem a bit inappropriate. But something that is appropriate and exciting is the departmental growth that is projected for the future. For example, Western is in the middle of a national search for its first distinguished professor of musical theater. This position has been made possible by a $233,000 gift from the estate of the late Carolyne P. Phillips of Waynesville, $100,000 matching funds from the CD. Spangler Foundation, and $167,000 from state funds provided through a program that was established by the General Assembly. The program encourages private support of public institutions of higher education. The professor search has been launched under a 'help wanted' ad listed in such publications as Variety and Back Stage, as well as the standard academic journals, including The Chronicle of Higher Education . The current job description reads, "A dynamic individual needed to develop new undergraduate program in musical theater performance. Extensive professional, Broadway- level experience a must. Ability in areas of dance, music, and theater required. Contacts in the national arts/ entertainment industry necessary." While this may seem to be a daunting and extensive task to fulfill, it is very important to the future of the proposed program. One goal of this program, according to university officials, is to help elevate Western as a nationally known place for the education of undergraduate students looking for professional/ career preparation in musical theater performance. "We are looking for a talented, connected, and charismatic person," said Robert Vartabedian, dean of WCU's College of Arts and Sciences. " Someone who can help us develop and provide continuing leadership for one of the best undergraduate musical theater programs in the country. Applications have been arriving from some very impressive prospects with outstanding credentials." This will be the sixth endowed professorship to be established at Western since 1996. The Carolyn Plemmons and Ben R. Phillips Distinguished Professorship in Musical Theater will be an interdisciplinary area of study placed in the department of communication and theater arts as well as the department of music. Chancellor John W. Bardo announced the professorship as the first such commitment to musical theater studies in the University of North Carolina system. The search committee, chaired by C. Don Livingston, associate dean of WCU's College of Arts and Sciences, hopes to find a qualified individual in time to join the faculty in the 2001 fall semester. The new professor will join another distinguished professor currently employed at WCU who also specializes in the area of the musical arts. Bruce Frazier, a two-time Emmy award winning composer and music engineer, joined WCU in 1998 as th Carol Grotnes Belk Distinguisneo Professor of Commercial an Electronic Music. As coincidence would have it, and if all the plans go well, the n professor will arrive on campus work begins on WCU's new V million Fine and Performing a Center, which is one of the project be funded through the higher educau bond package. The new facility will inc lude and classrooms, studios, galleries support space for students major. ^ the arts and humanities. A . qqo included is the much anticipated , seat hall for music and theai performances.
