  • The Western Carolinian VOL. XVI NO. II CULLOWHEE. N. C March 5, 1949 Published By Student Ass'n Mr. Siewart Expresses Appreciation Of Student Body's Cooperation Mr. Floyd T. Siewart, who became head of the Health and Physical Education department February 1, expressed his appreciation In a recent interview for the cooperation that the student body has given him in his new position. Mr. Siewart was interviewed concerning his plans for the P. E. department. In the interest of pro. viding the best facilities and e- quipment possible for the student body, he has submitted a request to N. H. Gurley. superintendent of buildings and grounds, for locker rooms, lockers, dressing facilities, and numerous other items. Vents for carrying away steam are now being installed in the shower rooms. A horizontal analysis is being made of the curriculum in the department Mr. Siewart stated, to discover if state requirements are being met and if there is any overlapping in the courses. "We are interested in providing he students with the necessary knowledge to be good instructors in the physical education field," Mr. Siewart said. "I do not anticipate any radical changes." Mr. Siewart requested the cooperation of the student body on two regulations for the spring quarter of 1949. They have been submitted to the P. E. club and have met with its approval. These regulations are (1) that no student be permitted on the varsity floor in street shoes, and (2) that no smoking be permitted on the basketball court level. Mr. Siewart explained that the basketball court is an expensive facility to maintain, and that it will be impossible to keep it in the best condition if students play in street shoes and throw cigarette butts on the floor.

More privacy! You really should try it sometime. However if you are unfortunate enough to be living on first floor Moore then you know what I'm talking about. I am one of those poor unfortunates who saw the horrible destructive scene first hand. All coffee lovers know when and where the destruction started. It was in the parlor during Christmas vacation and necessitated the discontinua tion of coffee hour much to our sorrow (?). Being optimisits, none of us who room on first floor thought that we would ever be touched by this destriuction. The first notion that we had to that effect was the awful day when Jean Godwin and Marie Leslie were notified that they had to move out of their little home.
