  • PAGE TWO THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Monday, May 5, 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 . Mrs. Jean Miller, 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 Standard Term Papers At a recent faculty meeting, the question of setting up a standard for term papers was brought up. If the proposed plan should be adopted, all term papers would be required to measure up to certain levels; however, anything over and' above the requirements would probably be acceptable. Speaking from the student's point, standard requirements would be beneficial in that it would give the student a reliable statement as to what the instructor expects of him; it would give him a definite goal to work toward. At present, he works for six or eight weeks, not certain whether he thoroughly understands what is expected of him, and has no inkling of the value of his work until the paper is graded and returned to him. Some students spend grinding hours gathering material only vaguely related to the subject and of little real value; others may cover the subject thoroughly in a few hours, usually purely accidentally. The instructors assign a term paper but give no specific requirements except that it must be a certain number of words. After the paper is graded, the student is told what he should have done. Also, term paper requirements (expectations) in the different departments are radically different; whereas if a student is writing two term papers, they will be practically parallel except for the subject matter. This could be remedied by a standard applicable to all departments. Not only would the papers show marked improvement with such a standard, but they could be prepared with a minimum amount of work on the students' part. Teachin' Contrary to the generally accepted idea, that practice teaching and spring just don't go together, the PTs at Cullowhee Training School are doing some excellent jobs and enjoying their work. Most of them say that the amount of work is the worst part, but all agree that even that has been exaggerated. Frankie Lee Dehart says that PT is a great experience and not at all as hard as she had heard. She admitted she's gone into it scared stiff but everything seems to be turning out nicely. Frankie is majoring in primary grade education and her only complain is "the size of those notebooks!" Maggie S. Crisp is also doing her practice teaching in the primary grade field. Mrs. Crisp, also doing a good job, has the same trouble as Frankie Lee with the notebook. Pauline Dills has been doing some outstanding work with handwriting classes in the grammar grades. Pauline, the only major in the grammar grade field, says she hopes she enjoys teaching as much as PT, and is certain that she will; she attributes much of what she calls her "small success" to her critic teacher and instructors. She spends her time writing lesson plans, in the library or spare moments, talking "shop" with other PTs. Ida Mae Gentry, B. E. major and History minor, finds her civics class especially interesting. Ida Mae describes her new experience as "equally thrilling and inspiring." Incidentally, we see Butch Bryson standing around looking lonesome; Ida Mae is putting the proverb "business first" into practice teaching! Terry Joe Johnson has "found his life's work," and himself, in PT. Joe gets a big thrill out of his work and certainly is applying himself to doing a good job. Dennis Franklin looks very much "the little schoolmaster" part. But, seriously, Dennis spends more time in that library than he used to looking at Jo Pryor! From all reports, those hours are paying off. Russell Byrd never finds time to grade Miss Tyree's English Lit papers, now, and hand out those unreliable reports. He's spending his time tying neckties and making lesson plans. His favorite class is his American history group. Byrd is doing a splendid job and enjoying it immensely. Betty Lou Buckner doesn't let her social life interfere with her practice teaching either. She dotes on her B. E. and P. E. classes, and is turning out some admirable work in both of them. Boodleville is well represented among the PTs by "Ike" Olson and Ben Norton. They teach history and math, and, of course, do some good teaching. Elmer Neill and Matt McBraer are doing good work especially in science and history. Martha L. Hunter Speaks Before Women's Club Miss Martha Lou Hunter, daughter of President H. T. Hunter, reviewed the book, Behind God's Back, at the Thursday, April 24, meeting of the Book Club division of the Cullowhee Women's club. The meeting was held at Mrs. Inez Gulley's apartment in Davies Hall. Hostesses for the evening were Mrs. Syrus Phillips, Mrs. Inez GuDey and Miss Anne Albright. Hi chums, here we are on the eve of that grand event known as the May Day bag-drag. And all the girls are racing around in an effort to be drug. I would wait around to see how they come out, but the chief's on the warpath. So here goes— If Jean Hall could take her mind off Chuck Jones momentarily, Don McRainey might attain his goal. NOW you know why neither Bobby Higgins nor Dorothy Sutton are getting anywhere. Give Don a break, Jean, and he'll give Chuck's girls back! Crawling does help sometimes! June Wright is hitting pay dirt with Mace Brown. We're all for you, June. I guess you all know Bill and Melba are going to live in Boodleville next year. Jeff dated Barney a few nights ago. Watch it, Johnny. Maxie Wright has Tom Garland snowed so completely he doesn't even notice those one night a week excursions. HowNabout that? Wonder what happened to Bert Martin and Elmo Neal. Couldn't have been Peanut Cotter, could it? And Anna Rose does like red headed boys especially if he's Bob Nelson. Wish Betty Ann would make up her mind about Apeck. Yes- or No? Frank and Joy's latest quarrel resulted in her dating Bruce Chester. Why shouldn't Betty Sue go to the show with them? We don't think Cootie looked too happy about {he tall handsome first baseman from Appalachian. Did or didn't Bob ask her for a date the night after the game? Why doesn't Cosette just stay engaged but swap the man in on a new fine! We recommend Joe Hunt. Grace Wingo dated Gus what's- his-name and Bobbie Haynes went for Margaret Mallonee when they didn't date each other any more. Brownie looks bored lately; Joe DOES look better in a car, doesn't he, Gladys? The way Bobby Dillard is true to Jake—Yeah, true; so is Benny Weaver. How about that pretty girl, Benny? Spurgeon Ayers has the right idea lately—a self-sustaining local yokel with a car who's willing to go more than half the way. Why doesn't some ambitious young man blaze the way into the Woody girls, Joy and Jean's, home and heart? They've got the car, too, and plenty of oomph. Let's hear no more that girls can't be cute and still be ladies —just take notice of "Blackie" Madison. When* Ruby G. went home last week end, Bob promised to be true, he went to Asheville to resist— all temptations!! Still a mystery—whether it was Faye Davis or Ralph Clark who called it quits. Loee and Poly are going to teach at Buckro Beach in Virginia. There goes our educational system toppling!! Information please—does Coleman Wilson have a steady at home? Carole Cabe, either? Jo, Shot, Faye, and Grace turned out in full array a few nights ago with A. C. boys. Thanks to Wayne Gentry and T. J. Finch. Word got around that the girls liked red-headed boys and now they're multiplying like bunnies— with the help of peroxide. Jack McCracken and Bud Whis- Illustrious people are hard to find on this campus, but it wasn't difficult for The Spotlight to pick out Mary Louise Brown as she outshone them all last week in May Court. "Queen of May," Mary really deserved the position of leading the 13 other attendants, all rivals. Brownie is from Asheville, the daughter of Mrs. Irene Brown. A senior, she will finish with a B. S. degree in business education and physical education, come graduation day. Since Mary came to Cully she has been an active person on the campus, interested in dramatics, participating in all sports and cheering "the boys" to victory as a cheerleader this year. Elected "prettiest girl" in the senior class, the campus Joes and Janes agree that Mary has personality to go with her looks and brains to go with her personality. Mary's future plans are undecided, but with the aforementioned traits she'll probably make a long journey down that road called Success. We'll keep the spotlight on you, Brownie. Orchestra Has Made Progress Organization of the W.C.T.C orchestra started during the winter quarter, and has shown rapid development during the spring quarter. Great interest has been shown. The first public appearance was April 29, introducing the First Secretary to the British Embassy. The orchestra is made up of the following instruments: seven violins, one cello, two violas, one bass viol, piano, two clarinets, two horns, four trumpets, two trombones, one baritone, one bass horn. Officers are as follows: Ruth Hooper, president; Virginia Madison, vice-president; and Martha Ellen Lynch, secretary. Mr. Lindberg is director. Mr. Lindberg would be interested in knowing how many wind instrument players would like to study music this summer. Possibilities for a band and orchestra this summer look hopeful. All candidates interested please contact Mr. Lindberg before the end oi spring quarter. Mr. Lindberg hopes to have a small football band by fall, the orchestra being used for orchestral purposes. enhunt bid off a supper at the auction for Anna Lee Bauman and Ellen Burnett. Bauman's latest nickname is "Speed." Brownie has Woody running around in circles again but she doesn't seem to happy about it. Bruce probably has something but we can't figure out what. The worm's got to slip off his mask and don his duds for the May Day rat race is on: We'll tell you which bag was with which jerk next time. S'Long.
