Students may also play basketball, badminton, or use the trampoline if they are supervised by a faculty member. A male quartet with a variety show will be featured at the summer quarter lyceum on July 9. No admission will be charged and the community is invited. Miss Peterson stressed that students should take advantage of the lyceum because they have already helped finance it through their student activities fees.

The Artist In Art By Will E. Hipps Living in a conformist society where the attainment of the bourgeois level of mediocrity is a symbol, i.e., the goal for which the average person is striving, society does affect art indirectly because it can affect artists directly, therefore the artist must offer a dramatic antidote for this prevailing mood. The artist must be indifferent to secular values — pay the piper and call the tune—; art must be immediate in its expressions, which is more important than academic theories. Art must show life as it is and must penetrate beneath the surface to the essential self of the recipient just as the essence of life must penetrate beneath the surface to the essential self of the artist; the personal experience of a peculiar emotion. What must a work of art have to cause a personal reaction or emotion in an individual? The artist steeps himself in tradition, in the conflict between man's beastiality and his mortality and in man's will to be godlike. Therefore, his form of ex pression must be a creative re- expression of these aspirations, which are independent of time and place, and lead to aesthetic ecstasy by way of aesthetic emotion, and he must discriminate between moral passion and nihilism, either of which will paralyze creativity. The artist must use lines, colors, forms and relation of forms, and their interrelationship, to stir our aesthetic emotions. He must search for images of truth that will be meaningful to his contemporaries, but to attempt to recreate the forms of another age is to imitate, and is the prostitution of emotional expression and which would have no meaning to the immediate generation. Before he can achieve the possibility of communication on the highest level, a level which requires the rational evolution of thought and feeling, he must become absorbed in and react to a total reality. Because art does not begin with an injunction to "love all" art, it may not end in persuading man to hate most of it. OFFICIAL DUTIES continue for student body president L. D. Hyde, seated above as he pauses to confer with Joel Freeman, Vice President. Hyde Welcomes Students On behalf of 11; il Body at Western Carolina College it is a pleasure to welcome you to our campus. Perhaps since you have been here this summer you have been greeted with "welcome to friendly Western Carolina." Through the years friendliness is indeed one of the basic characteristics of the people of Western Carolina. As a member of this first Summer Session you are either an undergraduate, workshop student, participant in the gifted child program, member of the music camp, supervising teacher, or a visiting professor. To each of you I extend a personal welcome and invite you to participate in all phases of our college program. Those of us who are regular students realize the phenomenal growth of the Summer School program and we are pleased that you have come to Western Carolina. A number of the Student Senators are here this summer and we stand ready to help to make your summer's study more profitable and enjoyable. The Stu" dent Senate offices are located on the second floor of Joyner Building, we invite you to come by for assistance or just to visit. As you are probably aware the Student Government of n Carolina is a co-operative one, the official title being, The Co-operative Student-Faculty Government. This type of effort has proven itself much more successful than any other ever attempted on our campus. The present system has been in effect, for approximately twelve years with occasional modifications and improvements. The student has a powerful voice through the Student Senate. The Senior Class elects four representatives, the Junior Class three, the Sophomore Class two, and the Freshman Class one. In addition to these, the presidents of Men's House Government, Women's House Government, and the Day Student Association are ex officio members of the Senate. The president of the Student Body usually recommends to the president of the college that six appointed Senators be named in order to equalize the proportion of representation of the constituent units of the Student Body. As President of the Student Body I invite you to join in and participate in the promotion of Student Government. Again, welcome to friendly Western Carolina College. Respectfully, L. D. Hyde President of Student Body expected to have completed the American College Tests. Graduates of accredited Alabama high schools who attain composite scores of 16 or above on the ACT are academically eligible for admission. Non-resident applicants must have graduated from accredited high schools with an overall average of "C," and have attained composite scores of 18 on the ACT or a total of 800 on the College Entrance Examination Board's Scholastic Apitude Test. An editorial in the Auburn Plainsman points out that "Although an average score of 400 e College Board or the equivalent on the ACT could scarcely be called a stringent requirement, it will surely eliminate a few grossly unqualified prospective freshmen. Also, perhaps it will be easier to raise the test requirement, once instituted, than it seemingly has to establish it in the first place." Intercollegiate Round-Up Auburn. Ala. (LP.)—Revision of policy on admission of students to Auburn University was announced here recently by President Ralph B. Draughon. The revision will be effective with the beginning of the sum mer quarter, 1962. Highlighting the revised policy will be more extensive use of tests, and change in requirements for physical examination. Physical examinations no longer will be administered by the Student Health Center on campus, the announcement stated. Each applicant must complete and return, at least three weeks in advance of the opening of the quarter in which admission is desired, a physical examination report on a form the University will supply.

(I.P.)—The class of '62 at NC State College will be the last group of graduating seniors who can exempt final examinations. The recommendation from the Faculty Senate to discontinue the standing policy of relieving seniors from exams in the courses in which they held A or B grades was approved recently by Chancellor John Tyler Caldwell. Commenting on the move, Student Government President Norris Tolson said: "Student Government put on an extensive drive to have the views of the students expressed to the Faculty Senate. It is quite disappointing that the Senate chose not to give the students a chance to express their opinions." The Chancellor's statement said: "Because in matters of this kind the will of the faculty expressed through the senate should prevail, I am approving this recommendation to become effective September 1, 1962." The idea of discontinuing exemption policy arose last year when the faculty also came up with recommendations concerning changes in the commencement program. No action was taken by the Chancellor until the exam request was resubmitted in December. The Student Government sponsored both a faculty and student opinion poll concerning the issue and made unsuccessful attempts to appear before the Faculty Senate body. Atlanta, Ga. (I.P.)—An important change in the structure of the College of Arts and Sciences at Emory University has been announced to take effect next fall. The Lower Division- Upper Division classificatoin system in the College will be eliminated in favor of the regular four-year plan of progression for the student. The student fromerly was required to "graduate" from the Lower Division before entering the Upper. From this fall on students will meet their academic requirements year by year. The new program is designed to give unity to the four college years. It involves technical changes in probation and exclusion rules and a four- point grading system replacing the present three-point one.
