The Cullowhee Campus is in a valley between the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains, seven miles south of Sylva on North Carolina Highway 107 and fifty-two miles west of Asheville. The location at the southern end of Cullowhee Valley in the heart of the Tuckaseigee River basin gives it an unusually attractive setting.

The University was founded in August 1889 as a semi-public school.

In To Promote the Interest of the Student Body SGA-Working for you The Student Government Association is an integral function of the Student body of WCU. Its purpose is to promote the interest of the student body while acting as a liaison between the administration and the student body. It relies totally on the input of active students it\o of student government. who exercise their right lo participate in the functions The Student Government Association is composed of a system of checks and balances, not unlike our federal system, consisting of Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches. The Executive branch is made up of the President, Vice President, and their respective staff. A thirty member Student Senate composes the Legislative branch of which the Vice President of the student body presides. The Judicial branch is divided into three main divisions, The Supreme Court, Superior Court, and Traffic Court. The Supreme Court is the highest court and serves as an appellate court. It is a stare decesis court and decides questions of constitutionality and reviews decisions of the lower courts that have been appealed. The Superior Court deals with all cases that arise concerning violations of a disciplinary nature. The jurisdiction of the Traffic Court extends to all students who receive citations for traffic infractions. All students who feel they have been unfairly ticketed should appeal the citation through the office of the Public Defender. The Student Government Association also provides the students of the University with legal assistance through the office of the Director of Legal Assistance. This office will, at the request of any student, aid him or her in securing an attorney or other legal aid. It also maintains and is responsible for obtaining current information of federal and state and local laws that are of interest and value to the students. The Student Government Association is also responsible for providing numerous other services to the University community such as Student Government Productions, a Refrigerator Leasing Program, and the 1893. with the first state appropriation of $1,500. a normal department was established. In 1905 the institution became Cullowhee Normal and Industrial School, a title it held for twenty years. Beginning about 1912, the status of the school was gradually raised to that of a two-year normal school or junior college. With state support increasing and work at the secondary level discontinued, the name of the school was changed in 1925 to Cullowhee State Normal School. . In 192". under a new charter authorizing the school to extend its work to the four-year level, the name Western Carolina Teachers College was adopted. Modifications in function and rapid growth were climaxed in 1951 by the addition of a postgraduate year to the college curriculum, and the granting of the Master of Arts in Education degree was authorized. Demand for liberal arts and for programs in other areas ol learning led to an expansion of its offerings and to a further change, in 1953, to the name Western Carolina College. In 1971 the state legislature reorganized higher education in North Carolina, and on July 1, 1972, Western Carolina University became a constituent institution of The University of North Carolina, under the jurisdiction of the thirty-two-member Board of Governors of The University of North Carolina elected by the North Carolina General Assembly.

The Faculty-Administration Senate is the principal policy-recommending body of the institution. let the UCB Entertain You' By ELI C. WALKER Staff Writer You may think there isn't much to do in Cullowhee. This is not necessarily true, thanks to the University Center Board (UCB). The UCB is a non-profit organization on campus which picks, plans, and coordinates many of the events here at WCU such as weekly discos and tournaments. Two events. Casino night and the Halloween funhouse have been favorites here at Western for years. In the past the UCB has been in charge of all the recreational and cultural events in Cullowhee with the exception of the major concerts, which were presented by Student Government Productions. This is no longer true. Vice Chancellor Glen Stillion gave the duties of producing major concerts to the UCB, under the advisorship of Tim Jacobs. Business Manager Mike Fry is proud of the UCB's reputation of fiscal responsibility. At the end of the year thev finished out with ahout seven dollars in their account as opposed to SGP who ended their fiscal vear •$7,000 in the red. \inee all the maior artivities are under the same roof more to do for less money. They will offer seventeen films during the year at a $1 admission charge. I he experimental television station, XUCB will also be offered during the year on the second floor of the UC I en programs will be shown to the students during each semester free of charge. Fry is very happy about the program and mentioned that they might beable to get several programs from the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) to air during the coming year.
