JEAN MILES
Jean MiUs Oordinator
By Judy Fersuson
Jean Miles is an attractive
brunette with sparkling brown
eyes and a sweet disposition.
She works here at WCXJ as Co
ordinator of Human Services.
Jean, a former student of
WCC, has lived in Wilkes
County most of her life. Be
ginning with the Spring of '68,
she attended WOC while her
husband, Lewis, was in Viet
Nam. When Lewis left Viet
Nam, he was stationed at Ft.
Holabird, Baltimore, and for 18
months they lived there. After
he received his discharge from
the army in 1970, they return
ed to Wilkes County. Jean
came back to WOC Winter
Quarter, 1970 and studied two
more quarters.
She graduated in 1971. Jean
then transferred to ASU for
the Summer Quarter. In addi
tion to a full load that summer,
she received credit by examina
tion for 21 quarter hours.
The following spring she was
a marshal in ASU’s commence
ment exercises. At the begin
ning of Summer Quarter, she
only lacked six quarter hours
of completing the require
ments for her BS degree. So,
in addition to completing the
six hours, she began graduate
work at ASU. She graduated
Magna Cum Laude with a 3.71
QP average.
For the Fall Quarter she had
been awarded a graduate
assistance ship to work with a
freshman class while she did
graduate work.
Jean said, “I had always
wanted to come back to WCC
to teach. So after I began my
graduate work, I came and
talked to Dr. Thompson about
the possibility of a teaching
position with the college.” She
was thriUed when Dr. Thomp
son offered her a position as
Coordinator of Human Services
beginning December 1, 1972.
A major responsibility of
Jean’s work is working with
the counselors here at WCC.
In this experimental program,
four students are being trained
to work as counselor associates
here at the college Student
Services Office.
These students are sopho
mores and will work here as

CHARLOTTE CHEERS
By R. Lee and Bill Biz
From noon imtil midnight on
April 21, the Allman Brothers
Concert shook Charlotte. These
reporters arrived at 10 a.m. and
joined thousands of others
gathered in anticipation of a
widely-hailed mu^cal event.
By 11 o’clock, the crowd is
ibecoming impatient and some
one begins playing tapes of EU-
ton John, Derek & the Dom
inos, and the Rolling Stones.
An attempt by police officers
to arrest a spectator arouses
boos and jeers from the crowd.
Onlookers apparently consider
the police unnecessarily rough
and begin pelting them with
bottles and cans. The boos
change to cheers as a full beer
pan connects with its target
and a policeman is removed
from the scene to receive medi
cal treatment. The cheers be
come deafening as the police
men withdraw, never to return.
Around noon SAVANNAH,
jiHft in from Union Grove, op
ens the concert. SAVANNAH
proves to be a very good
acoustical group, sounding
much like CROSBY, STILLS
& NASH.
*nie MC introduces tlie next
group: “I’d like you to welcome
three young men who have
made quite a name for themr
selves in rock musuc, BROWNS
VILLE STATION.” The music
begins anew. Members of the
group are dressed like charac
ters out of A CLOCKWORK
ORANGE or ALICE CXX>PER
(Maybe that’s why guys were
trying to sell Alice Cooper tee
shirts before the concert.), but
they sound lik» the WHO at
BROWNSVILLE STATION’S
current single is “You Gotta
Let Your Yea Be Yea,” and
they have an album due for re
lease in June entitled “Browns
ville Station.” The group
closes to deafening applause,
but is not permitted to encore.
MASON PROFFIT comes on
next and does some good blue-
grass and rock, but is frustrat
ed because the group can’t
compete with the memory of
the high energy BROWNS
VILLE STATION. They show
this frustration when they ask
why the people aren’t getting
off on the music and say tiie
fans were a lot better in Los
Angeles the night before.
Next comes THE MARSHAL
TUCKER BAND, which can
gnerously be called mediocre.
They sound, if ^u can imagine
this, like JETHRO TULL play
ing the blues. MASHAL TUCK
ER is a South Carolina group,
which met WET WILLIE and
signed a contract with Capri
corn Records Allman Brothers
label).
The audience is getting rest
less, and GOOSE CREEK SYM
PHONY comes on next to try
to pick everyone up. GOOSE
CREEK gives a fair concert,
but the combination of a blaz
ing sun, 90° temperature, and
too much smoke defeat their
purpose. Highlights of their
part of the show were the
“Mercedes-Benz,” the clown
who rode the unicycle on stage,
and the people who set off
smoke bomte in the_stands.
WET WILLIE comes on next
and gives out with a very good
and tight blues set. The com
petition of BROWNSVILLE
STATION and sunburns again
prove too much for a band,
and the highlight of the last
few hours seems to be tiie
glowing objects circulated
am(mg the ciwdi.
Now Z. Z. TOP takes the
stage and the hearts and minds
of the people as they give the
best of the day. Z. Z. TOP play
the most high-energy music of
the concert and amaze people
with their dynamic and fuU-
textured sound, produced by a
three-memiber group. The au-
dince loves them and calls
them back for an encore. They
would have had stiU another
had it been permitted.
The MAHAVISHNU ORCH
ESTRA comes on next and

By Judy Ferguson
The previous edition of the
COUGAR CRY quoted two
staff members on the subject
of women’s liberation. This re
porter will present an opposing
viewpoint.
Certainly not all women’s
libbers are man haters and bra
burners, but quite a few of
them enjoy cutting men down.
The movement often seems to
embody an expression of a
woman’s hostility for men.
Some of the more extreme
members even advocate artifi
cial insemination. These womr
en are destructive and seem de
sirous of tearing down the feun-
ily system as it exists today.
Needless to say, these ex
tremists are not the majority
of the group, but they are a
motivating force in the move
ment. The less extreme do not
speak as loudly and are not
heard as often.
The supporters of the group
are of two kinds. The first
type is the housewife who has
grown tired of the responsibil
ity of being a mother and
homemaker. So, she blithely
goes her way and disregards
her family. The second group
is of single girls, VKually from
18 to 35 years of age. T^iey
have been imsuccessful in love
and seek their revenge on men.
They feel more important by
bringing men down.
The divorce rate increases
because many men fird themr
selves with militant or aggres
sive wives. The outside inter
ests these women develop often
prevent them from doing their
usual work at home.
Some men feel their mascul
inity is threatened by the ag
gressiveness their wives so op
enly display. If they have
children, the children also suf
fer from the hostility that oc
curs between their parents. .
Aggressiveness does not lend
itself to feminity! Thus many
women’s libbers lose their fem
inity and their attractiveness to
men. The arguments they use
often lead to misunderstand
ings and rivalry with undue
competition between the sexes.
Women can accept responsibil
ity without losing feminity;
however, many women’s m>bers
