Beginning with this Thursday's CAROLINIAN, Ted Whisnant's Feature Section will includes notes and articles of student- type human interest, the latest fall and winter fashions, and a variety of stories for and about the student. Drop-Add Delayed By Breakdown A breakdown in computer operation during the scheduled drop-add period brought about a delay in the completion of registration and class assignment for many students here the first of the week. September 13, the second day of the drop-add period, the staff at the Computer Operation Center discovered, on starting the 1620 Data Processing System used by them at 8:30 that morning, that the typing machine, one of the system's input output devices and an integral part , was inoperative. This caused the entire system to be malfunctioning. According to Mr. William R. Buchanan, manager of the WCC center, the cause of the breakdown was due to the "malfunctioning of the motor which runs the typewriter. It was not due to the over-use of the data processing system during the registration period. * Immediately after the computer was discovered out of order, the IBM Company, who manufactures the system, was contacted. A customer engineer was dispatched to fix Western's ailing computer. The machine was back in order by 2:00 p.m. that afternoon. As stated by Mr. Buchanan drop-add operations underwent only a one-day delay with no faculty schedules processed during the entire drop-add operations. The WESTERN CAROLINIAN will consider cartoonists for the coming year, this Wednesday at 4 p.m. All interested students should bring samples of their work on a current subject of campus interest to the CAROLINIAN office in Joyner Building. Carolinian Appears Twice Weekly New Equipment Facilitates Expanded Operation This •new" WESTERN CAROLINIAN makes its debut this week as a twice weekly newspaper. This year, the WESTERN CAROLINIAN has adopted a new method of printing. Instead of printing with type, the paper is laid out and printed by a photographic process called offset printing. The school bought three ma vhines for the use of the newspaper, at the cost of approximately $8500. Two "Justowri- ers" set up the columns of print as hey will appear in the final edition of the paper. The "Varityper" ssts up the ads and headlines as they will appear in print. When the copy has been run through these machines, the result is a proof copy of the paper. The "Justowriters" are operated by two typists who must produce errorless copy at a high rate of speed. The business manager, copy and managing editors operate the head- liner, primarily. Last year the editors never saw how the paper would look in print. This year a waxed copy of the paper is pasted onto layout sheets, thus showing excess space, if any, or lack of space. There is no guesswork involved, because the exact size of the copy Is known. Even though this offset printing process is new, the cost of printing an eight-page paper has been cut from approximately $250 last year, to the relatively small amount of $75 this year. The publication costs for this entire year will be an estimated $2000 less than last year's, even though the costs for pictures, transportation, and mailing will be more than twice as much. The biggest copy problem is the bottleneck that occurs in the composing room. Every piece of copy has to go through the "Justowriters". All ads and headlines must go through the headliner. Rough copy piles Lyceum Schedule Undergoes Change Western Carolina's 1966-67 Lyceum program, with the help of a badly needed shot in the arm from the College Center Board, will get underway on October 5 with the Four Seasons in Concert featured in Reid Gymnasium. The Lyceum Program itself staggered momentarily this yea when date conflicts and cancellations prevented appearances by the National Shake- FRATERNITY-SORORITY RUSH goes into full swing this week with smokers and weekend parties. speare Company and the Pittsburgh Symphony, leaving only three definite programs on the agenda. Replacements have since been found to round out the schedule, but the College Center Board, acting independently, has filled the noticeable breach in popular entertainment with two bookings to date. Following the CCB's presentation of the Four Seasons, October 15's Homecoming Festivities will feature two appearances by Si Zentner and his orchestra. A 3 - 5 P.M. concert will be held in Reid Gymnasium on the 15th under the auspices of the Lyceum Committee, while the 10 - 12 P.M. dance following the game will be held and paid for by the Student Body under the auspices of Western's Student Senate. November 10th features an appearance by James St. Martin, a top authority in Extra- Sensory Perception, hypnotism and mind reading. A service- oriented program, "Pageant of Flags," is scheduled for the following evening, November 11. "Pageant of Flags" is a replacement program for the previously scheduled National Shakespeare Company, whose February 20 programming conflicted with a Catamount varsity basketball game. To date, the only definite winter quarter scheduling is the College Center Board's presentation of the Dukes of Dixieland for their nationally continued on p. 4 Nick Taylor, Editor, operating Headliner up at the composing machine, but the recorder can turn out copy only as fast as the typists can type it up. The headliner can produce ads and headlines according to the rate that the headliner can develop a strip of finished headliner ad material. In a recent interview with Nick Taylor, editor of the Carolinian, he had this to say concerning the aim of the paper: "The policy of the new CAROLINIAN is very simple: merely to say factually and unequivocally everything that needs to be said concerning each and every aspect of the Western Carolina College community. As long as we adhere to our motto, "Voice of the Students," the students of Western will be our first and main concern." "As in the past, we will continue to investigate areas that warrant investigation in the best interests of the student body. Since it is in the best interest of the College, we shall avoid all forms of sensational journalism, but by the same token, all our news coverage will be as completely factual as our resources allow. "With a semi-weekly CAROLINIAN, we can be of greater service not only to the College itself but to the community as an entirety. A great many college newspapers provide all news coverage for the surrounding community, and eventually we will be able to do this here. Sooner or later, Western will become an independent university, Cullowhee will be incorporated, and the CAROLINIAN will evolve into a daily paper with international, national, and local coverage of interest to everyone in the surrounding area." The editorial staff is composing the ads for the CAROLINIAN this year, whereas it was done last year by the printer. The present staff of the CAROLINIAN hopes to reach the entire community with its ads, in addition to the WCC students . In previous years, the advertisers considered the purchase of an ad from the CAROLINIAN as a donation. This year, we hope that the advertising can be of real value to the advertisers and the readers of the WESTERN CAROLINIAN. ANNOUNCEMENTS The elections for Dormitory, Day Student, and Freshman Senators will be held October 6. At this time the referendum concerning remuneration for the President and Vice-President of the Student Body will also be held. Filing dates for these elec tions will be from September 26 through September 30. An assembly program will be held September 29 in Hoey Auditorium. The program will consist of short speeches by representatives of all campus organizations. These speeches are for the purpose of informing the student body of each group's purpose and activities. Attendance is required of ALL NEW STUDENTS.
