Banjo-twanging Lawyer Tours Country
Telling Americans Of Carolina Folklore
V
By Sam Whitehall
If you're in trouble or just want
to relax, all you have to do is go
down to South Turkey Creek in
Buncombe County, look for the
house that a "five string banjo
built," and there you'll find
Bascomb Lamar Lunsford, re-
tired lawyer and more recently,
one of North Carolina's more
famous minstrel enthusiasts and
director of the Carolina folk fes
tival.. If the gentleman of the
house is away, two will get you
five that he's off to some part of
I the country talking about the
! rich folklore of North Carolina.
Bascomb Lamar Lunsford is
not a large man, but in his face
and eyes, one can see the vast
ness of the mountains. His voice
exacts confidence because he sel
dom says anything unless he is
sure it is right. He is a man of
prodigious memory, in fact, he
told us that it was memory and
the love for folklore which once
secured him a victory in the state
legislature.
It seemed that Lunsford was
running for legislature reading
clerk, but he had two opponents
who came from Raleigh, the cen
ter of state politics. Lunsford,
as the chapel hour, although tho
time has not been finally decided
yet. Each chapel will last about
thirty minutes and will include
"educational" lectures and oppor
tunity for the freshman to or
ganize for "political" and ".social"
purposes, the student body presi
dent said.
Plans are already underway,
it was announced, for meetings
with representatives from State
and Duke to lay plans for the
(prevention of vandalism during
football games next fall. Last
year, the season was marred by
only one or two minor instances,
as a result of these inter-collegiate
conferences.
Dedmond also announced his ,
plans to expand the responsibili
ties and duties of the studenf
Attorney General. Dedmond sta
ted that he wanted the officer to
have the power to speak for the
president in co-ordinating the
activities of the Student and
Men's councils. Ed Davenport of
Winterville was appointed to the
Attorney
quarter.
General position last
however, did not let their poli
tical knowhow disturb him and
went about his business of greet
ing the legislators with homey
hello's and inquiries about local
county conditions and happen- i
ings. "My knowledge of North j
Carolina folklore and customs of I
back-farms was what won me
that election. My opponents didn't
even come close," laughed Luns
ford. m i i l . i .
ine oanjo-iwanging lawyer Ox
the western Carolina hills is not
an ordinary "One-night-stand"
musician. lie has a deep and quiet 1
understanding of human nature.
"I love humanity, but perhaps
not to the degree that Will Rogers
did. He loved or found good in
everyone, but I have to draw the
line sometimes -when my prin
ciples are endangered," said
Lunsford when he was asked to
clarify his stand on humanity.
In the few weeks that he has
been at Carolina Lunsford says
he has been impressed with the
high standards of the University
and the students. His only advice
to the younger folks is this, "plan I
your life as you would a good
house. Select the timbers and
supports with care as they must
last you forever."
