  • Page Two THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN April 16, 1949 WESTERN CAROLINIAN Semi-monthly publication of the Student Association at Western Carolina Teachers College, Cullowhee, North Carolina. WESTERN CAROLINIAN STAFF Co-editor Phyllis Bowen Co-editor Bill Easterling Sports Editor Tom Grogan Feature Editor Charlie West Feature Writers Robert K. Phillips, Herbert L. Hyde Society Editor Martha Ellen Lynch Circulation Manager Tom Horton Reporters—Jane Callison, Bud Smith, Frank Murray, Clayton Ramsey, Paul Nash, Ted Gayle, Annie Ruth Watts. Business Manager Charlie West Faculty Adviser L. R. Taff Foto Forum (The Western Carolinia is a- ware that a great leal of criticism has been circulating on the campus about the paper. To get some student opinions, a Roving Reporter was sent out to take a poll. Five students' comments are printed below. Any other students who have suggestions to offer are asked to talk with staff members. Eds.) QUESTION: What do you think should be done to improve the Western Carolinian os a school paper? F. Robert Bowers (Sophomore): The Western Carolinian is supposed to be representative of the student body of our school; I feel that to make it a proper representative, the paper should have mdre news of campus interest, and at the same time the gossip column should be reinstated. This I feel would make for more wholehearted support of the paper. Helen Bushong (Sophomore): I think the Western Carolinian could be improved by adding a could be improved by adding a gossip column. I be lieve this would make the paper more interesting to the students and put a little life into the paper. Of course, the gossip column shouldn't be "catty" but one just Seventeen Students Made Dean's List At W.C.T.C. Seventeen students made the Dean's list for the winter quarter at Western Carolina Teachers college. To make the Dean's list a student must have made the scholastic honor roll, be active in at least one extra-curricular activity, and make at least average on the General Culture test as compared with the national norms. Such factors as social adjustments, leadership, health, personality, attitude, and morality are also considered. Students who made the Dean's list are Carl Edwin Allman, Dills- boro; James C. Atkinson, Hamlet; for fun and news. Robert K. Scroggs (Junior): It is my opinion that the Western Carolinian would have a greater interest if it could eliminate some of the news which isn't new. I think the student staff of the paper should determine its policies and publications. Helen Hill (Sophomore): In my opinion the Western Carolinian should consist of articles which would be more interesting to students — articles on courses that the stu dents might be interested in taking as elec fives. Some ar- cles might be written about a survey of the Training School and the Music Department, which very few of the student know anything about. Perhaps suggestions for Sunday afternoon activities could be included. Then some groups on the campus would like to see "The Worm" restored. Lawson Brown (Senior): The paper could be improved by having some good clean smutty jokes and a gos_ sip column without slander Student activities should receive major at tention. A so- ciety page would probably prove interest- I might add that it is regrettable that more students do not contri bute to this paper with the staff being a little more broad-minded in many articles that contain news of interest.

Some of the same families who moved in then are still living there. Von Ray and Eunice Harris, Marion, were among the first to arrive. Their two children are Ronnie, age four, and Brenda, two (then only two months old). Von Ray has displayed that fighting power of the Catamounts on the football field during the time that he has been here. Helen and Ott Byrd, also of Marion, arrived in Boodleville in October of '46. They have a three year old girl, Judy. Wanda and Jack Smathers, Con- ton, came in October. Their daughter, Sheila, four months, is one of the youngest children in Boodleville. Jack is majoring in Math and one of his hobbies is playing chess. Helen and Yolanda Taylor, Black Mountain, perhaps have the largest family in Boodleville. Their three children are Stanley, five; Julia, two; and Linda, one. Yolanda's major is Science. He expects to finish college in the fall of '49. Mary C. Brown, Sylva, and s Brown, Cullowhee, moved to Boodleville in October, 1946. Mary is now assistant librarian. Their son, James, Jr., is six months old. Juanita and Ramon Lowe entered school in 1946 but were not living in Boodleville. Juanita is from Ingle Wood, Calif. Ramon, of Clyde, is now a junior. They have one son, Ramon Steven, 17 months old. Elizabeth Hammon Scott, Minor Hill, Tenn., and Neill Scott, Philadelphia, Miss., are among the early families still here. Neill and Elizabeth are both graduates of W.C.T.C. Neill is now an assistant in the education department. The Scotts have a son, Robert Neill, Jr., 14 months old. As all the families now living in Boodleville could not be mentioned in this issue, this column will be continued until all of the families are covered. Letter To Miss Camp The following letter was written to Miss Camp by a former student at Western Carolina Teachers college. Dear Miss Camp, News from the campus as carried by The Western Carolinian sure does sound good, especially when so far from home. This summer I hope to be able to visit Cullowhee or at least be able to be over for Home-coming in the fall. The Western Carolinian that was forwarded to me from my old Rutherfordton address was my first copy to see. How long have they been publishing the paper? Though the students mentioned in the paper are way past my time, I still enjoyed read- and David Walker, Webster Grove Mo. Robert Failing, Los Angeles, Calif., Robert E. Nelson, Arden; and Joan Rogers, Robbinsville, made honorable mention. In the Spotlight By Tom Grogan In choosing one from the feminine group on the campus, it is only natural that the Western Carolinian spotlight should fall on Virginia Gallemore Barnwell of Greenville, South Carolina. Her quiet, pleasant smile and personality have won for her a host of friends, as well as several positions of prestige and honor. One's first impression of Virginia is that of shy, retiring dignity; but the more contacts one has with her, she is found to be also a gay, refreshing and charming person. A transfer from Furman University where she was active in campus activities, Virginia appeared in our midst as a junior in the fall of '47, supposedly for the purpose of acquiring a B.S. Degree in Spanish and English. Obviously, however, she had time to chart another course—that of matrimony, as she was wed to Howard Barnwell, class of '48, this past August. Her double role of housewife and student apparently does not interfer with her consistency in apppearing on the honor roll and Dean's List. Aside from her regular classroom and household duties, Virginia finds time to participate in various extra-curricular activities. She has been president of the Baptist Student union for the past two years, a member of the May Day program, secretary and assistant director of the Baptist choir, a member of the McDowell Music club, Alpha Phi Sigma, the College Quartet and the College Octette. A favorite of both the students and the faculty, Virginia is always willing to help in any way possible, whether it's for an all-campus activity or for individual assistance in last-minute cramming for an exam. With an abundant store of the above - mentioned characteristics, we are sure that Virginia, upon graduating this spring, will find success in anything she under- stakes. Here's luck to you and "Barney" from the Western Carolinian. ing of campus events. Please congratulate Dr. Killian for me. The announcement of the arrival of Carl Dan Killian, Jr., was in the copy that I received. Give my best regards to any of the remaining few on the campus that may remember me. Sincerely, Leonard H. Morrow. Y.M.C.A. - Room 706 Providence, R. I,
