  • PAGE TWO THE WESTERN CAROLINIAJS MONDAY, APRIL 7, 1947 WESTERN CAROLINIAN Semi-monthly publication of the Student Association at Western Carolina Teachers College, Cullowhee, North Carolina. WESTERN CAROLINIAN STAFF Editor-in-Chief Jean Hall Associate Editor Maxie Wright Society Editors Betty McCraw, Marie Lessley Sports Editors Chuck Jones, George Booze Feature Editors -- Betty Brown, Loee Alley Exchange Editor _ Walter Carringer Circulation Manager Russell Byrd Assistant Manager Edgar Carpender Photographic Editors Jack Booker, Frank Murray Business Manager Madrie Galloway Faculty Advisor L. R. Taff Typists Jeanne Patton, Hazel Annis, Jean Wood Library Hours The library is the nucleus of any college campus. Here at W. C. T. C. as at most other colleges and universities, a high percentage of all assignments require library research. Not only this but it is a quiet place for concentrated study. It is a known fact among all the students that no large amount of work is done in the dormitories and the library is the place for accomplishing good constructive work .... if we have time. Many students have wondered why the library closes so early at night. With the anemia of term papers and similar forms of work, it is difficult for even the most conscientious workd to accomplish very much in such a limited time. Day students and Boodleville residents are especially at a disadvantage. Not only do they have to come up on the campus but the short length of time they have is not long enough to accomplish lengthy assignments or those that require long research. This time limitation applies not only to the students but also to the faculty members. Lectures that call for careful research have to be done hurriedly and are often the headache of many instructors. If the library hours could be extended a half-hour or an hour, both students and instructors would be happy. If students once settle down for real studying there is nothing so irritating as to be disturbed. What can be done about having the library open longer? EIGHTEEN NAMED (Continued From Page One) tude, (f) Morality. Those receiving this special honor were: Howard Barnwell, James Barnwell, Charles Bird, William Buckner, Russell Byrd, Mary Alice Cowan, Berta Mae Eades, Thelma Joyce Finch, Loee Lance, Vada Lyda, Frank Plyler, Neill Scott, Dorothy Tilley, Jean Woody, Maxie Wright, Lane Arrington, Jack Carpenter and Howard Edgerton. Those receiving honorable mention were: Thomas Garland, Mc- Kinley Hensley, Ruth Hooper and William Pressley. Meeting all qualifications for the Dean's list carries with it certain special privileges which the faculty and the administrative officers of the College grant to those named on the list. These privileges are voluntarily voted from time to time and may vary in different scholastic years. They are effective as long as the student remains on the list. Senate Minutes By JACK BOOKER Frank Plyler, who was appointed to investigate the situation concerning the last formal dance at W. C. T. C, was unable to secure any definite information due to the lack of cooperation of several students. The only matter that was ascertained was that a list of students and outsiders who were believed to have been drinking was turned into Mr. Hinds recently. As Mr. Hinds was unable to attend the Senate meeting, further discussion was delayed until he can be present. Charles Frailer made the motion: "That business concerning the past dance be dismissed and that the committee or club that sponsors any dance in the future should make up a set of rules to be abided by. Names of the violators will be taken and handed in to the Senate for action." The motion was seconded and passed. Other rules drawn up and approved by the Senate are: 1. Have someone at the door at all times during the dance. 2. Have a "black list" which will be the names of any persons showing disorderly conduct. 3. Have a more active floor committee. 5. The floor committee will be responsible for reporting any disorder at the dance. Miss Grace Wingo and Miss Jo Pryor were appointed to the World Student Service Fund. Motions made by the Standards Committee and also approved by the Senate were: 1. That students be permitted to smoke in Moore parlors and that ash trays be provided. Students getting ash trays from the table drawers and returning them there when they have finished using them; in the recreation room the trays may be left out in the room. 2. That students be permitted to smoke in the Student Union building, with the exception of the girls' powder room. Ash trays will be left on tables with the exception of the large center table. 3. That waste baskets be provided for the drawing room of the S. U. B. aiid a committee be appointed to see about getting them. 4. That the regulation already in the handbook about moving furniture in the S. U. B. be called to the attention of the students. 5. That students' attention be called to the regulations in the handbook concerning undue familiarity on the camnus, and that a note be sent to the four governments concerning this regulation Mr. D. E. Sigmon, the assistant state service officer of the North Carolina Veterans commission, will be at W. C. T. C. every Wednesday to give advice or to assist any veteran with regard to G. I. benefits. Mr. Sigmon will answer questions, give information or advice on insurance, subsistence allowances, questions concerning interruptions of training, change of status and classification or change to other institutions. The War Department will receive letters or applications for Regular Army commissions through April 15, 1947, from veterans who left the service in order to complete their education. Veterans who were formerly commissioned officers, applying for appointments in the Air Corps, Judge Advocate General's Department, Medical Corps, Dental Corps, Veterinary Corps, and Chaplain Corps, who will receive a college degree or complete graduate work before 15 July 1947, and who are otherwise qualified under the provisions of War Department Circular 289, 1946 are eligible to apply. In addition, veterans who were formerly commissioned officers applying for appointment in the Coast Artillery Corps, Cavalry, Field Artillery, Infantry, Corps of Engineers, Finance Department, Ordnance Department, Quartermaster Corps, Transportation Corps, Signal Corps, Chemical Corps, and Corps of Military Police, and who will receive a college degree before July 15, 1947, will be less than 28 years of age as of July 15, 1947, were commissioned in the Army of the United States or any of its components after July 15, 1944, and are otherwise qualified under the provisions of War Department Circular 289, 1946, are eligible to apply. Copies of War Department Circular 289, 1946, are available in the office of Dean Bird. Applicants will be accepted only from male citizens of the United States of America who served on active duty as commissioned officers in the Army of the United States or any components thereof, and were not separated therefrom under other than honorable condition. and asking for their cooperation in enforcing the regulation. 6. That dances start at 8:30 p. m. and last until 12:30 except dances held on Saturday night which could start at 8:00 p. m. and must end at 12:00. 7. That the constitution be amended to say "that the May Day dance be held on the first Friday in May; this date may be changed by the action of the Student Activities Committee. 8. That a committee be appointed to discuss the matter of lighting the gym and to get Mr. Gur- ley's aid to help standardize the lighting at the dances and his signature must be secured for the registration of social events reports. At the beginning of the Senate meeting there were only seven members present. Charles Frazier and Russell Byrd came in thus making it possible to have the nine, required members for a quorum. The fact was mentioned that election time for new senators would soon arrive. If the students would like an influential part in running the student government, it's time to start campaigning. In The Spotlight ^fk While flickering our spotlight over the campus, the ray fell on a well-known and well-liked member of the senior class—none other than Russell Bird. You all know Bird. He's the guy who holds a stern but friendly hand over the men around here, better known as the President of the Men's house government. How he manages to laugh good-heartedly at the guys jokes—mostly at his expense—is one of the secrets of his personality. Always ready and willing, Bird can be depended upon to help out in any crisis. Remember all the swell dances he's had a direct hand in? In addition to his office in the Men's house government, Russell is circulation manager of The Western Carolinan, a member of the Alpha Phi Sigma, the Future Teachers of America, and the Dramatics club. He comes from Greensboro, N. C. This quarter he is gleefully and wonderingly delving into practice teaching. The things those kids can do and interpretations Bird can give! If you don't believe it, ask his roommate. The Worm's Eye View ■!..„._„__.,,._,,,_„_.._„_,,.__,,._.._ Get the new drift! The worm crawls around these days with only one eye open so breathe easy chums! Betty Robinson says she'd like Bill Byrd even without his new car—but we wonder. Loee got a wedding announcement from her former fiance, "Granger" in Va. Calling that a dirty deal is mild and after she'd been so true to him too! Colette is making a valiant attempt to keep Mode's mind off that yellow sweater and chicken dinner. When Speck wants a date, he asks who is in the dorm. Then, takes his pick (but he doesn't always get her). There isn't one cute girl on this campus since Bruce Chester doesn't love Brownie any more, according to Bruce. If Jimbo gets his check, Tubby will wear a purple orchid for Easter. If , however, one of .those all-too-frequent quarrels spring up, she may get Corley. And who is the ambitious co-ed who has designs on Frank Hardin? Whether she'll get him we won't predict—just yet. Several people want to know: Why Merle and Perry don't become officially engaged. Why Bob Tate doesn't date anyone even though (we have it as good authority) he is an expert boodler. Why one little blonde on third —Turn To Page Seven
