  • STUDENT Owned THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN STUDENT Controlled Vol. XIV; No. 1 CULLOWHEE, N. C, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1946 Published By The Student Association NEW PROGRAM IS ANNOUNCED FOR TEACHER-TRAINING To Affect Freshman And Future Students. Must Take Test Marked changes have been made in the general education for teacher tradning the first two years of college, Prof. A. K. Hinds, chairman of the Investigating committee, has announced. The changes will affect only the freshmen who registered this year and the students who enroll hereafter. Specific courses in psychology and principles of education have been combined into integrated courses called The Child and The School. Practice teaching will be required the entire year with four hours credit each quarter instead of ten hours credit one quarter. Mr. Hinds explained that this change should eliminate the tendency of practice teachers to neglect their other studies while doing P. T. In addition to taking practice teaching an entire year, students in teacher training will be required to pass a math test or take sub- college Math 100; to pass an elementary test in swimming unless excused for physical reasons; and to take the first two years of physical education under general education. The third year of physical education may be taken in either the junior or senior year or it may be taken any three quar ters of the last two years. Members of the committee, ap pointed by Dean Bird, who made a study of the present curricular offerings at W. C. T. C, are as follows: Prof. A. K. Hinds, chairman; Dr. W. A. Ashbrook; Miss Addie Beam; Miss Alice Benton; Miss n Cordelia Camp; Mr. C. F. Dodson Dr. Carl Killian; and Mr. Newton Turner. After a thorough study and investigation, the committee made recommendations to the Curriculum committee and to . the faculty for the changes that should be made to conform with the pro- —Turn To Page Two Famous Baritone Conrad Thibault To Appear In Concert Oct. 18th Has Appeared In Many Operas. Is First Event In New Lyceum Series To Sing Here Social Calendar 4—, _+ Dean Anne Albright has announced the social calendar for the period October 5-19th. Highlighting this schedule will be a Lyceum concert October 18 featuring Conrad Thibault, baritone. Also included on the schedule are three consecutive home games for the Catamounts. Dean Albright in announcing the calendar remarked that several dates are open which could be used for square dancing, informal dancing and fun nights. If any club or organization would like to sponsor an activity or social affair arrangements should be made with Dean Albright. The entire calendar as of today is as follows: Oct. 4—All School Reception. Oct. 5—Tusculum game (here). Oct. 11—District Teachers Meeting. Oct. 12—Hiawassee game (here). Oct. 18—Concert, Conrad Thibault. Oct. 19—Milligan game (here). Conrad Thibault, distinguished American baritone who appears in the Hoey auditorium October 18 at 8 p. m., ranks perhaps as the most popular of our younger artists. He was born in Massachusetts, of French ancestry. Although his voice and musical gifts asserted themselves early, he had no regular teaching except what he gained in choir work and the routine drill that was given to all young choristers. His serious studies began when he won a scholarship at Curtis Institute, in Philadelphia. There, Thibault came under the guidance of the celebrated baritone and teacher, Emilio de Gogorza. Although he has accompanied Mr. de Gogorza to Europe to continue his work with him uninterruptedly, Thibault prefers to think of himself as "All American trained." He has appeared in Opera with marked success, but is most widely known to the national public through his popular radio shows and concerts. Thibault's concert activities have covered the entire country. In the past three years, he has given over 160 recitals, including 50 re-engagements. His radio engagements include appearances on: Manhattan Merry-Go-Round, Cities Service, Coca-Cola Hour, Ford Hour, RCA Victor, General Motors, America Melody Hour and the Lucky Strike program. Mr. Thibault appeared with leading symphony orchestras under the direction of such men as Stokowski (the Philadelphia Orchestra), Goosens and Reiner. —Turn To Page Two Pre-Session Group Suggests Program Senators, officers of the student government associations and faculty advisers met September 4 on the college campus for the annual pre-session conference. Approximately 15 students attended the meetings to discuss improvements for the campus during the present school session. Morning, afternoon and evening sessions were held with one of the members of the conference presiding. Different topics were discussed and made into recommendations to be passed on to the student senate and finally to the student body for acceptance. Recommendations made by the conference included organized recreation in the form of "fun nights" and square dances at the gym, turning the road to the college into a one-way drive, abolishing "rat week" for the present and equipping the campus with more lights. The committee on recommendations was made up of students and faculty members. Mrs. H. T. Hunter entertained the members of the conference with an outdoor supper at her home Friday evening, September 7. An all-day trip to Smokemont and a hike up Clingman's dome ended the conference on Saturday, September 8. TO ESTABLISH A GUIDANCE CLINIC ONNATIONALPLAN Emphasis To Be Given On Orientation. Five Objectives Listed CONRAD THIBAULT, the distinguished American baritone, will appear here Friday, October 18, in the Hoey auditorium at 8 p. m. The concert will be presented by the Lyceum program of Western Carolina Teachers College. Recreation Leader Trains Dance Team Miss Marie Marvel, recreational leader for the Council of Southern Mountain Workers, Berea, Ky., with Diana Lockard, assistant, arrived on the campus September 29 and will stay the rest of this week. They are teaching folk dances that will be used in the fifth regional folk festival held at Rabun Gap, Ga., November 2. Considered an expert in the instruction of original and authentic national folk dances, Miss Marvel will teach classes especially for the benefit of P. E. majors, recreation leaders and future grammar grade teachers. The same dances will be used in the National Spring Folk Festival at Berea College. From the group that meets classes, a team of six couples will be selected to represent W. C. T. C. at the festival. To establish a guidance and selection program along the lines suggested by the United States Office of Education is the purpose of the college guidance clinic under the supervision of Dr. C. D. Killian this year. He is assisted by Mrs. Anne Engman, secretary of Guidance, and Louis Hesterly, part-time assistant. In the guidance program, emphasis will be placed on the orientation of students and helping them with their vocational plans. The five main objectives for this year, according to Dr. Killian, are the establishment of cumulative records, the securing of occupational information, counseling, placement and the follow-up. Files of information will be started on each student as he enters Western Carolina Teachers College. The American Council form will be adopted, or a similar form for this type of cumulative record. Occupational information will assist students in choosing their vocation. Books and pamphlets on trade schools and vocations will be placed in the library for their use. Under the guidance counseling, each student will be assigned to a faculty adviser in his related department. The counselors will not only advise in selection of courses, but will be a confidant and friend. The placement division will cooperate with the North Carolina Employment Service to help graduates secure jobs. Students will be advised about transferring and contact will be kept with former students in other schools. In connection with placement there will be the follow-up of former students who have dropped out or graduated. Students enrolled now will assist in getting in touch with —Turn To Page Four Another Record Enrollment Here Enrollment figures, soaring toward the all time record set in 1939, indicated that 495 students registered at Western Carolina for the fall quarter, according to Addie Beam, registrar.
