FRANKLIN CO-EDITS NEW BOOK Dr. Bill Franklin, head of the De­partment of Sociology and Anthropology, is the co-editor of a new book entitled "Social Psychology and Everyday Life," published by David McKay Company of New York. The book was edited by Dr. Franklin in collaboration with Dr. Frank J. Kohout of the University of Iowa. Dr. Franklin attended East Texas State University and holds bachelor's and master's degrees and the doctorate from the University of Texas in Austin. Much of the research and editing of articles for his latest book was under­taken while Dr. Franklin was associated with Dr. KohOut at the University of Iowa. Dr. Franklin taught there from 1969 to 1971 before joining the WCU faculty. In a foreword to the book. Dr. Frank­lin said, "We have personally found social psychology to be a tremendously exciting field of study, one that is both academically challenging and sor cially meaningful. Unfortunately, this 'flavor' of the discipline is missing from many of the textbooks and antholo­gies... good social psychology need not be staid or abstruse. We have attempted to demonstrate this conviction in this collection of readings."

Hoard of Nursing, received funding from the 1969 General Assembly, and earned state ac­creditation from the Board of Nursing in 1971. In addition to the first 16 graduates who will receive degrees in June, 27 juniors, 55 sophomores and 79 freshmen are enrolled in the program. In announcing the NLN action, Chan­cellor Carlton said "not only the Uni­versity, but all those in Western North Carolina who saw the need for this pro­gram and helped in its development, can be tremendously proud of the work done by Professor Martin as head of the de­partment, the nursing faculty, and the students." Clinical support for the WCU program is provided through affiliations with ' St. Joseph's, C. J. Harris, Haywood County, Oteen VA, Highlands and the Cherokee Indian hospitals; public health departments in Haywood, Jackson and Swain counties, and the Smoky Mountain and Blue Ridge mental health clinics.
