Item’s are ‘child’ level descriptions to ‘parent’ objects, (e.g. one page of a whole book).

  • ENTERTAINMENT For the best entertainment, read THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN. Otherwise, don't forget to study for finals. TheWESTERN CAROLINIAN INSIDE THE CAROLINIAN . . . WCU is slated as fastest growing university in North Carolinia. p, 1. Editoral speaks out on peace in Vietnam, p. 2. VOICE OF THE STUDENTS SUMMER VOL.11 NO.4 Thursday, July 11,1968 CULLOWHEE, N.C. Midon Msmn Q. Why was Uie new parking area behind Stillwell given to the faculty when it is so desperately needed by Uie commuting students? A. "I don't think it is needed by students," says James Kirkpatrick, Business Manager of Uie University. The areas behind the Methodist church, Baptist church, Student Union, and spaces at Reid are designated for commuting students. Kirkpatrick feels Uiat there is ample space in these places since empty spaces can be found any time of Uie day. Kirkpatrick added that Uie spaces behind Stillwell are assigned to Uie Faculty and Staff. During Uie next year this area will be used mainly by the staff of Uie library. Q. Why haven't Uie lanes at Reid been resurfaced and new bowling balls purchased? A. According to Dr. Hamilton, head of the P. E. Department, the lanes were resurfaced between spring quarter and first summer session. Also at that time new balls were bought and placed on the racks. New bowling pins were purchased during spring quarter and put into use. Hamilton continued Uiat, "the lanes are resurfaced every year." Q. Does the Security Patrol have the authority to search a Student's car? A. The authority of the Security Patrol is delegated by the state (Student Handbook, Traffic Code A.-2., p. 87.). According to Dean Davis the Security Patrol can legally search any student's car if they find it necessary. They will not forcefully enter a car. If a student does refuse to unlock his car or trunk Uie Security Patrol will obtain a search warrant and continue Uie search. Q. Who is the man that rides around with the Security Patrol? A. The "man" is Pritchard Smith, a former lieutenant with the N. C. State Highway Patrol. He has been appointed Director of Uie Health, Safety, and Security Office. Q. Why does the library start closing ten or fifteen minutes before the posted time? A. Peter Hart, librarian, says that due to Uie number of electrical switches (nine scattered over the building) which must be cut off and the numerous doors which must be locked, Uie staff has to begin closing a few minutes before ten in order to leave the building at ten. The staff is not paid for time after ten o'clock. "There are never more than three or four students present when the building is closing," states Hart, Q. Now the library has been completed for six months. Why can't they get their material out of the stairs in Stillwell basement so the student's can use the stairs and basement door? A. "That is going to be cleared before fall quarter," says Peter Hart. Q. How many fraternities will have off-campus housing this fall? Whq? A. To this date it appears only Kappa Alpha will move off campus next fall, according to Taylor Huskins. Now First In State WCU Surpasses ECU In Growth Western Carolina University has grown faster man any other public senior college or university in Uie state but with significantly less support than many of them, Uie Advisory Budget Commission announced recently. Dr. Alex S. Pow, WCU president, said the university will need not less than $16 million for capital improvements and from $3.5 to $4 million in "B" budget operating funds for the 1969=71 biennium. Latest State Board of Higher Education reports, Pow said, show Uiat WCU's enrollment jump of 73.2 per cent from 1963 to 1967 led all other senior public institutions. In contrast, the average Increase for all public colleges and univer- sities, including Uie fastest- growing class (community colleges) was 55 per cent. For two of WCU's sister institutions, Uie report showed a growth of 55 per cent at Appalachian State University and 57.8 at East Carolina University. Despite this pace-setting growth rate, Pow told the commission, "Western Carolina University is, both absolutely and relatively, significantly below its peers and other universities in North Carolina and the nation," in such important areas as: The amount and usefulness of its physical plant; the number and types of faculty members and their compensation (as much as $1,500 below the norm for full professors); the number of administrative and supporting personnel; the quantity and quality of library holdings; services rendered to Chapman To Head Department Of Earth Science By GERALD MATHENY Dr. John J. Chapman, Arkansas geologist and educator, has accepted appointment as head of the Department of Earth Sciences at WCU, according to Dr. J. G. Eller, Dean of the school of arts and sciences. According to Eller, Chapman is a highly trained and widely experienced scientist who will strengthen the earth science program greatly. He will begin his duties at WCU in the fall after leaving Southern State College in Magnolia, Ark. He was chairman of the Natural Science Division at Southern State. Earth Sciences is one of the newer academic departments at WCU. It was established in 1967 under the School of Arts and Sciences and embraces the major areas of geography and geology. Cathey has been acting head of the department. Chapman has served as a consulting geologist to industry in oil and gas, water supply, mineral survey and engineering geology as well as his academic responsibilities at Southern State. He is a fellow of the Geological Society of America, president of the Arkansas Academy of Science, a charter member and Arkansas co-or= dinator of the American Institute of Professional Geologists, and a member of Uie American Association of Petroleum Geologists, Uie American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the National Association of Geology Teachers. WCU vice president for academic affairs, W. Newton Turner, himself a specialist in the earth sciences, said the university "is fortunate not only to obtain a person of this stature to develop a strong department but also to bring to Western North Carolina a geologist who can serve as a consultant to Uie mineral industries of the region." Chapman earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in geologic engineering at the students; and services rendered to Uie community. The funds requested for 1969 71 "are conservative," Pow said, "but given these funds, we can make impressive and warranted strides toward developing an admirable and competent regional university of which all of North Carolina can be proud." He told the commission that, "We are trying valiantly at WCU, and wiUi notable success, to develop a regional university of increasing quality, both by North Carolina and national standards, and of appropriate scope. "We are trying to put this university actively to Uie ser vice of Uie region and Uie state, and to their economic, social and cultural development, But to perform this job adequately, we must increase Uie extent and impact and quality of our service, and to do this and to excel in its responsibilities as a state regional university, Western Carolina needs and must have your substantial help." Specific "B" budget requests will be submitted later, but Pow previewed some of Uie principal items Monday. These included ~A $500,000 one time appropriation to bolster Uie library collection by about 65,000 volumes, a $100,000 annual in crease in regular book purchase funds, and other funds for additional shelving and services. The present library collection, Dr. Pow said, provides 18.6 volumes per student, the lowest ratio among all state-supported senior colleges and universities in the state. In contrast, ASU has 145,000 volumes or 31.5 per student, ECU has 305,000 volumes or 34.2 per student, and Uie state average for all public senior institutions is 56.4 per student, —A 7„5percentannualincrease in Uie total academic salary allocation, to be awarded to individuals on Uie basis of merit, and requiring $225,000 in 1969-70 and $472,000 in 1970- 71, —A $250,000 fund as the university's matching share of federal and other grants for instruction, research and service. —Funds to boost faculty and meet other costs necessary for the School of Business to meet accreditation standards of the National Association of Collegiate Schools of Business. —Additional faculty to keep pace with expanding enrollment and provide faculty specialization in all divisions; graduate assistantships to supplement CONTINUED Page 3 .... . Colorado School of Mines. He received the doctor of philosophy degree from the University of Illinois in geology and chemistry. Chapman was previously a topographic engineer with the U.S. Geological survey in Washington, and served in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers during World War H, He has also worked with Creole Petroleum Corporation in Venezuela as senior geologist and field party chief. His research interests include structural geology, ore deposits and paleontology. He has published in mining journals, educational magazines, and geological bulletins. Dr. Perry Kelly, state supervisor of art in N.C. for five years, also joins the faculty of WCU in the fall. He will function as head of the new Department of Fine Arts. Perry has served on the Governor's art commission as well as aided in directing the state museum, CONTINUED Page 2 Construction Begins On New Athletic Complex Construction has started for what will be "part of one of the finest physical education units in the state when it is completed," says Jim Hamilton, Head of the P. E, Department Below Reid Gym and between Leatherwood and Camp Lab school two large areas are being graded and prepared for athletic fields. The area below Reid next to Cullowhee Creek is to be transformed into a competition track and two playing field for classes and intramurals. One of the fields will be located inside the track oval while the other will be on the north end of the track. The oval will be used in physical education instruction as well as intercollegiate competition with our track and field team. Its surface is to be rubberized asphalt, There will be seven, four-foot lanes in the twenty-eight foot-wide oval. Also the track will feature an extended straight-away. Immediately below and to the right of the existing intramural fields twelve additional tennis courts will be constructed. These are to be arranged in four rows of three courts each, facing north and south. BuUding of these courts can- CONTINUED Page 4 . . . .
