President Pow comments on first days at WCU, p. L Camp Catamount in second year of service, p. 1. Editorial discusses causes of violence in America, p. 2. VOICE OF THE STUDENTS SUMMERVOL.il NO 3 Thursday, July 4,1968 CULLOWHEE, N.C. Pow Comments On WCU Construction Started On Business Building By BUDDY DAVIS The new business building is now under construction on the site of the old day student parking lot. The building wiU have an area of approximately 67,000 square feet, and will be three stories high with a full basement, approximately Uie same height as Killian Building. One aspect of the design will be its rectangular hallways which will help facilitate student traffic in and out of the building. A student will not have to travel more man half the length or width of the building to reach Uie exits. The building will be equipped with modern classrooms and laboratories, and will house Uie Computer Center in Uie basement A 300 seat auditorium will be located on Uie first floor. There will also be a large facility for con ferences and large groups of students, which will be equipped with a kitchenette. The new building will also house Uie Business and Industrial Placement Office, which will be large enough to serve WCU students for years to come. WCU first requested the funds for the new building for the 1965-66 school year. Funds were requested for the construction of a 60,000 square foot building, but Uie General Assembly only appropriated enough money for a building 15,000 square feet smaller. The administration decided that it would not be practical to construct a building with inadequate facilities. The delay in construction was due to an attempt to obtain sufficient funds for the construction of an adequate building for Uie needs of Uie Business Department CONTINUED Page 3 ..... . riewo* fmsmn Q. Why is there no book discount in Uie University Center Book Store for faculty members? A. Mr. H. P. McCarroll, manager of the book store, says: ■ "We have no arrangements yet for any discount on books for the faculty." Q. Why is there no post office drop box at the University Center? A. Mr. Wayne Hooper, Postmaster, states that in order for a drop box to be placed at the center a pick-up and delivery system to all dorms and to major buildings would have to be initiated. "The college does not want a pick-up—delivery system," says Hooper. His understanding is Uiat the University does not wish to be responsible for providing the facilities for such a system. The regional postal office in Atlanta has conducted a survey of Cullowhee's postal needs. They found the area should either have a collection-delivery system or a new postal building with 7,490 sq, ft of floor space on a 26,000 sq. ft lot Such a building would be the largest in the county. The Regional Postal Real Estate Office has been in contact with the University administration several times in the past few months according to Hooper, but Uie Administration declares neither land nor funds are available for such an office. Hooper says he would rather see a collection-delivery system come into effect By DON HARRIS Dr. Aex S. Pow has offically assumed his duties as President of Western Carolina University. Beginning July 1, D;-. Pow took over Uie position vacated by Uie retirement of Dr. Paul A. Reid. "You are actually talking to me at the wrong time; I have only been on Uie job for twelve hours," stated Pow in response to questions asked by this reporter. However, Pow had very definite ideas about the university and its programs. Pow, who is a graduate of the University of Alabama and formerly Vice President of Academic Affairs at Uiat same school, eagerly answered all questions concerning his own opinions and policies. When asked why he had applied for theposition at Western Carolina, the President stated, "My wife and I searched carefully for the place that we wanted to spend in e>ur next period of service, and this is where we want to be. I am excited about the spirit and attitude that North Carolina takes toward education," Supports Greeks Pow. had many things to say in regard to such questions as his attitude toward Greek organizations, athletics, and changes in administrative staff. Pow, a member of the Delta Chi fraternity during his undergraduate career, stated this in favor of Greek organizations, "Fraternities and sororities are a useful teacher of community living and community service. However certain problems can develop if the fraternity or sorority does not have correct goals." Concerning the recent passage of Uie Greek housing by the Faculty Senate and Board of Trustees, ,Pow replied, "I dont know all of the details of the Senate's and Trustee's action, but I do think it was a good move." President Pow also stated that a fraternity house can serve a useful purpose both to the organization and the university if it is used in the correct way. "There is one thing that I do not care for in the Greek system, some one who might want to belong is excluded, but of course that Is a condition of any social organization." Favors Strong Sports Program One question mat has been asked among the students since Dr. Pow's appointment was that of what his policies concerning athletics would be, especially since the new President comes to Western Carolina from a football power like the University of Alabama. When asked this question, he replied, "Well, I'm a great spectator." Pow went on to say that he was strongly in favor of an aggressive, successful athletic program. "An athletic program can be successful without winning a game, but I personally would rather win than come in second," Expressing Uie desire Uiat something would be done for improvement in Uie field of athletics, the President wept on to say, "Committees will be formed with my support and with student participation to increase Uie competitiveness of our teams. I also feel Uiat athletic excellence goes hand in hand with academic excellence." Pow voiced Uie opinion Uiat a good athletic program is an aid to the recruiting of quality students due to its good publicity for the university. In reference to Western Carolina's recent withdrawal from the Carolinas' Conference, President Pow agreed Uiat it was basically a good move, because Uie coaches had been hampered in their recruiting programs by Uie rules of Uie conference. Another question Uiat has aroused Uie curiosity of many of Uie students was Uie question of changes in Uie administration, if any. According to Pow, there will be certain changes made, not necessarily a complete shakeup in the whole staff, but there will be some additions to the staff. Pleased With Student Attitude Possibly one of Uie most often asked questions of a new official is how he likes Uie campus. President Pow highly praised the faculy, administration, and students for their aid so far in his duties by stating, "I have talked with around twenty or thirty students and I am really impressed with the frankness and openness of the majority of them. The students really seem to be concerned with Uie University and its operation." WCU's Day Camp In Second Year By*ACHELHINCHER WCU's Camp Catamount is thriving in its second season under Uie direction of Miss Betty Peele and Miss Betty Westmoreland. The participants are chosen from special education classes from Haywood, Jackson, Mason, and Swain counties. They range in age from seven to fourteen. The Camp Catamount program was started last summer under the leadership of Miss Helen Hartshorn, Dr. C„ D. Killian, and Dr. James Hamilton. It is supported by the Kennedy Foundation funds and by the participating counties. Approximately seventy students are being transported daily by buses to this summer's five-week program. Their day begins at 9:15 a.m. with two hours of recreation. Painting, basket weaving, plastic masonry, and hand tooling fill a part of each day. They also have opportunities to bowl and swim. Sports include baseball, basketball, and archery. Student workers provide music for the Camp Catamount participants. Each afternoon, the students attend classes centering around a study of Uie United States. Math, English, science, and history are brought into this study. One hour is spent in actual classroom work; one is spent in activities connected with the studies. Camp lab teachers Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Baker conduct these classes until 1:30 p.m. each day. Accompanying Pictures Page 3 Several WCU students help in Uie Camp Catamount program with several Junior Volunteers, who are high school students working without pay. "We couldn't do without Uie Junior Volunteers," stated Miss Peele, Camp Director. There are a total of thirty-five staff members in Camp Catamount Visits to a ranger station, the Frontier VQlage, and a new picnic area in the Smokies are planned for the last two weeks of the program. It is hoped that Camp Catamount will prove an enrichment for the participants both physically and mentally. One of the workers says of the program, "It gives the kids a feeling of worth ~ a chance to accomplish something."
