Variety Vacationland North Carolina is frequently touted as the variety vacation land. This theme has a strong reflection in the WPCC activities curriculum. Physical fitness and structured leisure are aimed at on the campus. One can become a well-rounded sports person by conscientiously pursuing, in only two short years, these activities. The more nature-minded can indulge in the courses: Fit Trek, Mountaineering, Basic or Advanced Canoeing and Bicycling. The social set can perfect skills for competing on the putting greens in Beginning or Intermediate Golf and prepare to leap the net with winning grace in Tennis. If, perchance, your skills in horseback riding were overlooked in childhood, one can recapture that opportunity by enrolling in an Equitation course. There is also the lure of Beginner's Swimming for water babies. The more sedate or meditative nature lover can become an accomplished spring wildflower appreciator and spend a weekend in the pursuit, somewhat like Stalking the Wild Asparagus. In other words we are offered activities that nearly challenge the Outward Bound School. We certainly adhere to the western tradition of working hard at our leisure! 134 , , 'gifwix . 1 : 4r.Yl,.,!,-mg. , ,wi H 'Q .xl ..,.v . .M i,::,:..x...:n Z W-Xu mx Nu... .,,.:Zi.!tA.f::.l..i-It 3.4. til...-'gil 7'9 -1 lf V ' ' wg.l5.fM --1 iff,- ...J .. -Y ,.-f l,,,. i., ,, V45 4 H+:-,,,!,..',ggm,.,..,i Q- U - -, m4,'.f1,...4y i q 4 ,gl .1 yr.. fy M5 .'

Famous Lecturer Visits WPCC INTERVIEWER What is the most important change you see the new Administration having on the social front in Washington, Mr. Goober? Goober: Well, now just a minute there. Several people have used words like front and seige when they've asked me questions about the Carters in Washington. This ain't a dad-burn war zone up here, is it? Int: Well, frankly it wasn't when the Fords live up here. But there arecertain things that are sacred to the social strongholds, er, social set I mean that have defied change for two hundred years and the leaders in society feel somewhat threatened at the lack of formal proprieties that seem to flourish around the Carters. Goober: Why has it got to be so formal - this is the place where opportunity lives and now they can let their hair down for good. It does not have to be a competitive, ethnocentric political playground for the privileged. We're gonna let y'all be good ole boys too. Before long I bet there'll even be some born-again among the brothers. Slight shudder from the Interviewer. 136 Q But, Mr. Goober, it is not desirable to those with the political and social clout to have a sub-culture thrust into the works of a finely honed social structure that has Weeded out the poor ambitious, the social riffraff, and all but the artistic, amusing eccentrics so successfully To overcome these precedents would ambush the faith of the hopeful, the wealthy, the aristocratic. And I don't mind saying, to be overcome by Peanut Power would be both humiliating and set a dangerous international precedent. Goober: We're aching for a reformed world image anyhow. And you talk like aristocracy stops with the Mayflower Yankees. Why, y'all were up here trying to grow rocks under 5 feet of snow when we were enjoying a lucrative Southern society. 'Course the great Wahr was only the beginnin of that trouble. Anyway this is gonna be the second best thing since grits. Int: Whatls the first best thing since grits then? Goober: Ahem! You just aren't lustin' hard enough for knowledge if you hafta ask that.
