  • W.C.T.C. ALUMNI NEWS • • • • • =The Western Carolinian= Vol XVI No. 2 CULLOWHEE, N. C, October 2, 1948 Published By Student Ass'n Home - Coming Set For October 9 Alumni To Attend Meeting, Dance And Football Game Graduate Work Held Here Last Summer TO BE CONTINUED NEXT YEAR ON LARGER SCALE The 1948 summer school of Western Carolina Teachers college offered graduate work carrying full credit, including residence credit, that one would receive at the University of North Carolina. Dr. H. P. Smith, member of the W. C. T. C. History department, was director of the graduate unit and taught two of the courses. Western Carolina is the only college in the state that offers graduate work as an extension unit of the University of North Carolina. Plans are being made to continue work next summer on an even larger scale. There were 162 people enrolled in the graduate unit, 90 of whom were graduate students. The other 72 were professional people and teachers working for certificate renewal credit. Four professors, all of whom have doctorates, taught in the graduate unit. Dr. H. P. Smith, who taught courses in the history of education, received his A.B. at Wake Forest college, vhis A.M. at Duke University and his Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina. He has been on the faculty of Western Carolina Teachers college since 1938. The psychology and guidance classes were taught by Dr. Carl D. Killian, head of the Education and Psychology department. Dr. Killian has done outstanding work in resource-use education in West- ern North Carolina in recent years. Dr. Rose Lammel, a specialist in science education, received her Ed.D. degree at Teachers college, Columbia University. She has taught at Teachers college, Ohio State university, and at Syracuse university. Dr. Joseph McCaskill was general manager of the Department of the Interior's Indian Arts and Crafts Board in Washington. He aided in the workshop on resource, use education. Dr. McCaskill did his undergraduate work at Davidson college. He received his Ph.D. degree from Columbia university in 1934. Miss Hartshorn Named Executive Secretary of W.C.T.C. Alumni Miss Helen M. Hartshorn, member of the physical education staff of WCTC, has recently been appointed by President W. E. Bird to serve as Executive Secretary of the Alumni Association of the college. Miss Hartshorn was graduated from Western Carolina Teachers College in the class of '44. While a student there she served —Continued on page 6 DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI AWARD TO BE MADE The Alumni and friends of West, ern Carolina Teachers College will President's Welcome There is always one special day in the year when the College Alumni and friends of the institution must feel that the day at Cullowhee is their own. This is "Homecoming Day." This particular day symbolizes the family relationship when former students and their friends feel that renewed contacts and revival of past friend, ships must mean a rededication of spirit to an abiding common ideal. Human nature is so constituted that it demands as a part of its very substance such renewals and such revivals. Not only as an official represent ing the College, therefore, but as a l How Alumnus possessing a generous portion of the common interest in the very spirit and life Of the College as a great family of like beings, I wish to welcome to our campus on this our Homecoming Day all those who can find it possible to lay aside temporarily their daily duties and domestic or professional responsibilities to assemble here for a day of reconse- cration to a common Alma Mater. I trust that it will prove a day of pleasure and even delight to those who do come. I hope that all who come will share with those who live on or near the College campus Iiie rich experiences that the years In the great outside world of living have'bequeathed to them. We at Cullowhee need the stimuli that such experiences can arouse in us as they are thus transmitted from mind to mind and soul to soul. We welcome every person who comes on this day as a visitor to our College campus and trust that the day will mean to all a me moriable one. W. E. BIRD, Acting President RADIO CLUB BEGUN ON CAMPUS Started Last Spring; Club Now Has Sixty- Five Active Members One of the newest movements on the campus of Western Carolina is the building and operation of a campus radio station. At the present time the station is only in trial status of inner-college broadcasting system. It has been using the call letters of WCCA, Western Carolina Catamounts of the Air. The station went into operation last spring quarter, and by the end of the term it was an accepted activity on the campus. WCTC grew out of the investigation of the I. B. S. organization. The two students who inspired this investigation were John Kay Holt and Phillip Hollyfield, under the guidance of Dean W. B. Harrill. Soon Dr. C. D. Killian, head of the guidance clinic, became interested in the project, and sponsored a tour of campus radio stations of the bigger colleges and universities in the state. This tour was made by Hollyfield, Holt and Frank Murray, who also aided the beginning club, and is now president. At a result of the tour of radio stations, Holt and Holly field immediately began construction of a transmitter, while Murray set about organizing the new club. The station was ready for operation early in the spring quarter. The studio was set up in Tyson A. Cathey's office on the bottom floor of the classroom building. It was fully equipped, even to a grand piano, which was procured by Dr. Killian, who was elected sponsor of the radio club. The Radio Club, one of the first in a school the size of Western Carolina, now consists of some sixty-five hard-working members. From this group of students, programs originated and were put on the air. WCCA presented a one-hour broadcast five nights a week of student-written, student- directed, student-acted and student-engineered programs. This year the plans for the station are big. Its first goal is to become an active member of I. B. S. There are hopes of a longer period of broadcast and a greater variety of programs. With the proper support, direct-line broadcasts of all football games are planned. In the near future it is hoped that a state-wide network —Continued on page 6 have an opportunity to visit with one another and become better acquainted with the college campus in its "new look" stadium and football field at the '48 Homecoming. The calendar of activities for the afternoon of Saturday, October 9, will officially get underway at two o'clock when the dormitory residents will be on hand to welcome visitors in the customary "Open House" visiting of rooms. The schedule will probably be: Madison at 2:00, Robertson at 2:30, and Moore at 3:00. Following open house, all Alumni will be guests of the Alpha Phi Sigma honor society for a four o'clock tea in Moore Parlor. The Student Body will be served their supper at an earlier hour than is customary in order that the Alumni Supper may be held in the college dining room at 6:15. There will be a nominal charge for the feast which will be served in cafeteria-line style. Mr. Jonothan Woody of Waynesville, president of the W. C. T. C. Alumni Association will preside for the business session, which will be concerned with the election of a committee of five alumni who will nominate a candidate or candidates for the "Distinguished Alumni" award. The program and business session will be adjourned at 7:30 in order that everyone will have the opportunity to secure advantageous seats for the W. C. T. C.-East Tennessee State Teach, ers football game. Immediately after the football game the Breese gymnasium will be opened to Alumni, guests, friends and students for an informal dance to the- music of Teddy Martin's fiftepn-piece orchestra. Refreshments will be served. It is deeply regretted that the college will be unable to furnish rooms for visitors to spend the week-end. At present the college has a capacity load of campus students. Only a few guest rooms are available and must be reserved ahead of time with Mrs. David Hall, in Moore Dormitory; Mrs. Tyson Cathey, matron of Robertson Hall, or Mr. Luther Taff who is in charge of Madison Hall. Individuals may make their own arrangements to stay with friends in the dormitories, but should notify their hosts or hostesses so that the college dietitian, Miss Louise Henson, can prepare for them at meal time. Miss Helen Hartshorn, newly appointed Alumni secretary, is requesting that you send her a postal card notifying her of your intentions to attend the banquet Saturday night.
