^ PP together was just short of
‘faster. During their senior
year in high school, they decided
to enter Enka High School’s
Tijuana Talent Show. “It was
terrible,” remembers Carol; “the
piano was ’way upstage, almost
in a corner, and they wouldn’t
move it. We ended up singing
almost off stage.” Needless to
say, the girls didn’t place too
high.
Since then their appearances
have been considerably better.
“A mutual friend arranged a
date at UNC-Asheville; and we’ve
sung at the Sheraton Hotel a
couple of times as well as a num
ber of charity benefits,” notes
Kathleen.
Now that they have some ex
perience and a solid two-hour
act together, the girls have con
sidered charging for their ap
pearances. “We need a really
good public address system, one
that we can take with us,” Carol
states. “It’s really embarrassing
to have your mike go dead in
the middle of a song.”
“And it destroys the mood
we’ve worked to establish,”
adds Kathleen. Both the girls
want to “touch people with our
music. We don’t want the feeling
that we’re up here and the
audience is somewhere out there.
We want the music to bring us
together,” both girls agree.
And it should. The program
reads “Folk, Rock, Jazz, and Blues.’
There’s something for everyone,
and everyone is invited to attend.
There’s no admission charge and
the curtain call for each show is
8 p.m.
MARS HILL-Mars Hill Col
lege is planning four days of
activities April 22-26, in obser
vation of Earth Week. Established
several years ago by President
Nixon, Earth Week is now spon
sored by the Alliance for Environ
mental Education, a non-profit
consortium of 27 organizations
that are committed to environ
mental conservation and educa
tion. Among the activities will
be forums, film festivals, and
environmental hikes. The pri
mary objective of the week is to
help learners perceive environ
mental problems and to assume
a per sonal commitment to im
proving life around them.
The week’s activities will be
gin with a forum Monday, April
22, at 6:30 p.m. in the Memorial
Library auditorium. The forum
will be led by Dr. Arthur W.
Cooper, Assistant Secretary for
Resource Management of the
North Carolina Department of
Natural and Economic Resources.
Cooper is a native of Washing
ton, D. C. and received his under
graduate and M. A. degrees in
Botany from Colgate University.
From there he went to the Uni
versity of Michigan where he
received his Ph. D. in Botany with
a major in Ecology.
Cooper is on leave from North
Carolina State University, where
he is Professor of Botany. In
1971, he took a leave of absence
to assume the duties of Deputy
Director of the North Carolina
Department of Conservation and
Development. He came into his
present position when the state
government reorganized. His
topic for the forum will be “Land
Use Planning and Its Relation
ship to the Management of
Recreation and Wilderness
Areas.”
On Wednesday, April 24, a
second forum will be held in
Belk Auditorium at 1 p.m. The
guest for this forum is Jane West-
enberger, chief of the Educa
tional Branch of the U. S. Depart-
m nt of Agriculture’s Forest Ser
vice. The current president of
the Conservation Education As
sociation, Ms. Westenberger
received her B.A. in Social
Sciences and an M. A. in Geo
graphy from Long Beach State
College. For 12 years prior to
joining the U.S.D.A. Forest Ser
vice, she was a teacher and school
administrator, and has life cre
dentials for elementary and
secondary teaching as well as
general school administration.
Both forums will give the audience
ample opportunity to question
the speakers.
Films will also be shown
during the week which will give
participants an opportunity to
view what is being done in the
areas of air and water pollution,
forests, and the reclamation of
waste products. The first series
of films will be shown in Belk
Auditorium Tuesday night,
April 22, at 7 p.m., and again on
Thursday afternoon, also in Belk,
from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m.
A highlight of the week will
be several “environmental”
hikes through the countryside.
Those interested in participating
in one of these hikes should get
in touch with Dr. Joseph Taylor,
associate professor of Biology,
at area code 704-689-1188.
Solzhenitsyn
(CPS)—In recent weeks exiled
Russian writer Alexandr Sol
zhenitsyn has been praised,
honored and dogged by the
Western media who hnow he
makes good copy.
But the Small Press Review, a
US publication dedicated to non
establishment literary publishing,
has issued a unique open letter
to Solzhenitsyn that warns him
against being exploited by West
ern publishers and politicians.
The letter reads in part: “Do
not forget your own belief that all
governments are jealous of artists
and writers because they confirm
laws higher and more com
pelling than any government
could legislate.
“Beeause you are unpublishable
in your own country you are worth
millions in ours to our Madison
Avenue publishers alone who are
at this point furiously translating
your book to recover themselves
from further decline on Wall
Street.
“The glitter of American and
European enterprise, big-name
writers who thrive on and con
tribute to this enterprise, poli
ticians who will neither read nor
understand your work—all ery
out in your behalf as Tong as you
represent material value to them.
“But slip from this ‘grace’ and
you will again be at the^mercy of
a force which everywhere in
this world punishes and commits
to madness those who oppose it
but have no monetary value to it.
“Our jails and prisons are ugly
and dehumanizing too, as they
are everywhere; but they are
filled with ‘ordinary’ people with
no ‘saleability’ and so the outcry
is small.
“It IS sad that your book, which
decries such dehumanizing forces
and conditions will now have a
part in strengthening them. You
did not intend it this way, to be
sure, my brother, and perhaps
you will speak of it before it is
