THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Saturday, January 25, 1958 Started Nine Years Ago WWOO Provides Enjoyment Plus Benefits For Students Station WWOO started out as a venture to provide enjoyment for the students of WCC. It now serves a dual purpose — provides enjoyment and is used as an academic course. The station was started nine years ago. One year later when Dr. Ritter came to WCC the club consisted of ten members — three active ... At that time "there was one class with three students. At the present one can obtain a concentration in radio — the club has approximately 150 members — fifty active. WWOO has approximately 800 records in its files'compared to 30 eight years ago. It also has around 200 sound effect records — from monkey chatter to train wrecks. The station is licensed for a closed circuit, however, hopes are for an eventual air circuit. Previous to the past fall quarter the station operated from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.; the hours of operation now are 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. This results in -ergjarpximately 2,300 hours of air time a year. The station offers valuable experience to those who are willing to work. Some of the former members of WWOO are listed below with their present vocations: Bill Stone, Announcer at WMSJ ia Sylva. Danny McClure, Engineer i WMSJ in Sylva. Harvey Nations, Engineer WLOS in Asheville. Paul Raione, Teaching radio at a Jr. College in Florida. Don Fowler, Disc Jockey at Waynesville station. Ray Hollyfield, last account he •was installing radios in airplanes. Hervert Hyde, raising young attorney in Asheville (WWOO is good vocal training). Dr. Paul Ritter, Director of A. V.A. was for seven years assistant station manager for WMWC at Mary Washington College. For many years Dr. Ritter has given his full devotion to the station — seldom receiving any credit, but often criticism. But he has tirelessly devoted himself to the task of bettering the quality of entertainment for the students. Veterans News Veterans Administration spelled out the various groups of GI insurance policyholders who will and -who will not participate in the Tegular annual dividends of $262,- 000,000 for 1958. VA said approximately 5,300,000 policyholders will and approximately 820,000 will not participate. Included in the 5,300,000 participating policyholders are 5,000,- 000 holders of National Service Life Insurance (World War II) with the letter "V" preceding their policy numbers, and 300,000 holders of U. S. Government Life Insurance (World War I), with the letter "K" preceding their policy numbers. VA said the 820,000 policyhold era who will not participate are divided into the following groups: 1—Aproximately 715,000 Korean and post-Korean veterans who •were issued special term policies classified by law as non-partici pating. The letters "RS" precede these policy numbers. 2—Approximately 61,000 World War II and 8,000 World War I vet erans who have extended term in aurance in the "V" and "K" series, respectively. These veterans laps ed their permanent plan policies and VA automatically extended them as term insurance without further premium payments. »3—Approximately 28,000 Korean and post-Korean veterans who -were issued special policies because of service-connected disabilities These policies are classified by law as nonparticipating. The letters "RH" precede the policy numbers. 4—Approximately 7,000 World War II veterans who also were issued special nonparticipating policies because of service-connected disabilities. The letter "H" pre Introducing Dr. Taylor To those who have not come in contact with a real "Southern gentleman" we would like to suggest that you meet Dr. Rosser Taylor. Dr. Taylor was born in Cas- talia, N. C. He attended grammar school in Ashe county and then was graduated from an academy. At that time high schools had not been established. The first seven grades were free and then one had to attend an academy to further one's education at his own expense. At the age of 17 Dr. Taylor started teaching in an elementary school in Sampson county, or as he put it "in a dark corner of Sampson county." The school year was then only 4 months and he received $40 a month for his services. He roomed with a nearby family — cost $7 a month — laundry free — buggy furnished for Saturday night courtin'. After a year of teaching he resumed his studies at Wake Forest and was graduated in 1916 with a B.A. In 1916 Dr. Taylor taught at the Augusta Military Academy for a short period. He then attended the University of North Carolina and received a .Master of Arts degree in 1921. After receiving his M.A., he taught at The Citadel for a year. It was here that he met Mrs. Taylor who was then a student at Ashley School For Girls — four years later they were married. At the end of the academic year at The Citadel he began work on his Ph.D. and was awarded it in 1925 from the University of Michigan. He was also awarded a University Fellowship at Michigan. In such a fellowship one receives a certain amount of money without duties being attached. Dr.| Taylor resumed teaching and this time it was at UNC where he taught history for two years. At the termination of two years he accepted the position of Head of History Department at Furman Ibraham's Rules Of Order Revised By Jack Ibraham Thar seams to have ben quite a bit of discushun concernin just whot kind of order orter b used whin one is plannin to have a meetin at W.C.C. I hav jest got together enof time to set down hyar and rite out jest wot I consider the best order and you had darn-well better toiler 'er! U wil find these rules r used almos no- hair, but thair is no reason y we can't start sonthin nu. After all we conseder our stoodent-gum- ment suthin unique — now by^ golly we can make it unique — Maybe? First and Hindmost is the Bored Motion, more commonly reffered to as the Fany Fatigue Movement. This is the Motion to Adjourn. It shuld be used at the first opportunity that a man feels it necessary to do so; in fact the only thing many peple contribut to a meetin is the Motion to Adjourn. Thair air sevrul ways to adjourn. One of the most prominently used methods is to git up and walk out. This method will meat with mixed feelings amung the grup . . . But whats a good meetin with out mixed feel- ins and a good fight. It should be noted rite here that at each meet- in thor should be a ref and a head- linesmen to give out the pennal- ties if iny. It should be noted that this Fan. Fat. Move, can be amended. As an example: "Mr. Chairman, I wuld like to amen the motion to adjourn to read: 'move we adjourn at 10:00 p.m., July 12.' " (I hope that nun of you English Props read this to closely.) I must remind u this is a hypothical case, and shuld not b used n iny meetin I'm atteedin un- les the date was July 12. Dag-gum- it laugh. Closely akin to the adjournment motion is the Lay on the Table Motion. People r constantly movin to lay on the table; this shud not b considered a proper notion in a formal meetin. The con-founded members shuld refine themselves to sleepin n thair chair. A further definishun is called fur to explain the meanin of the Chair. It wuld seam that a definishun of this trum wuld not b necessary, but u kno how sum peple r. The Chair is wot runs a meetin, and comes in handy for those who don't want to lay on the table. Wen one moves the Previous Question, it shuld b born in mind thet this is only a etiqueted manner of tellin peple to shut up. I've found that jumpin from one's seat and shoutin "Shut Up" to the wind is by fer the most effective method. Division of the Question sum- times causes difficulty, especially wen the question is a simple one. However, sum questions can be divided, and wen this case presents itself, I can c no reson for not dividin it. I do find, however, that wen Fan. Fat. sets in, thair is less consideration of such tri- vialties as dividin the question, but sum peple do get all-shook- up over such a simple English principle. The amendin thing, can b a real thing, and it can amend an amendment, the constitution, the bylaws and even the standin rules. For a dissitation on the Standin Rules, I refer u to the discussoin of the Chair, Laying on the Table, cedes these policy numbers. VA said the 5,300,000 policyholders who will participate in the dividends will receive their checks shortly after the anniversary dates of their policies. University where as he said, "I stayed for more years than I care to say." In 1947 Dr. Taylor became Head of Social Science Department at W.C.C, the position he now holds. Dr. Taylor is distinguished in the literary field. He has published two books, Ante-Bellum, S. C, and Slave Holding in North Caroline, both by the University of North Carolina Press. He also was co-author for Memoirs of Richard Connor Watts. He has had numerous articles published in book reviews, national, regional, and state publications. Dr. Taylor is a member of N. C. Historical Society whose membership is made up of persons elected on the basis of their authorship. Dr. Taylor is vice-president of Minister's Word 'A Meditation' Editor's Note: Since there is no "Minister's Word" this week, the following meditation is presented: We would call it a miracle if God should suddenly reveal For merely an instant a Brilliant star in the pitch Darkness of night; if He Should set before us for a Single moment the radiant Glory of a sunset; if He Should cause just one White lily to blossom in Blackest muck. We would Call it a miracle if God Should guide a lonely tern In unerring flight from Pole to pole; if just once He should quicken human Ear to hear the sweet song Of a mocking bird; if to One person only He granted A Caruso-like voice. We Would call it miracle if God shonld bless with lovely Beauty only one girl on all The earth; if within just One soul of all races and Clans He implanted an Impelling sense of duty; If He touched Einstein Alone with sheer genius. We would call it a miracle if God should enable only one Couple to experience the Bliss of true love; if to Just one woman in all time He gave the joy of fondling Tenderly a tiny bit of her Own flesh and blood; if He Should grant only a single Friendship through the long Centuries. We would call and Fan. Fat. Move. Thair seams to b kno end to the positions one can take accordin to these rules — I am herwith settin down. When Informally Considering a Question, tea can be served, however, if u are particularly interest ed in a certain bill, somethin a little mor potent mite be more per suasive n the long run. I personally am opposed to Objections to Consideration of the Question. Y b objectionable wen for such a little mor u can b a real stinker. A half-time stretch is sofetimes good too, and for the precedures I refer u to your own conscience for the standin rules, don't be hoggish over the punch and cookies peple. Readin Papers is generally taboo n most legislative circles, so I wil leave this type Mickey Mouse stuff, for a discusshun on classroom procedures where the action is much mor prominent, bloody and devastating. Thair r all differunt kinds of motions, many peple of which have already ben brung up. Many peple don't move at all, sum peple don't move at all, sum peple move occasionally, and sum peple move all the time. This seams to bring out once again thar air differunces amung peple. Wen the question "May I assume the roster, Mr. Chairman?" presents itself, it shuld be conse- dered proper for the Chairman to reply, "Personally I don't give a HOOT wot u assume." Assuming the Roster and Obtainin the Floor are sometimes consedered one in the same, but any fool knows that a roster and a floor ain't the same Dodd Says New Dormitory Will Be Finished By Sept. By Don Ashe According to Mr. F. F. Dodd, resident inspector, the new $500,- 000 men's dormitory now being constructed above the College Shop will be completed by September. The new building will be of the most modern design, fire-resistant, and will house two hundred students. It will be four stories high. In describing the inner construction of the building, Dodd explained that each room would house two students and would contain two built-in desks, book shelves, and two large closets with slide- away doors. Inside the closets will be dresser-drawers, a mirror, and electric outlets. Seven community baths will be scattered throughout the building. Other features of the building include several lounges, a laundry and ironing room, and a large storage room. A communication system similiar to that now being used in the other dormitories will also be installed. The exterior of the building is to be of red brick construction with blue-stone coping. There will be four entrances: one in the center at a traffic circle on the ground floor, one at each end of the building, and one on the second floor of one of the wings. Freedom Needs Educated People c* every business, every industry, the need for college-educated people mounts year by jrear. In a world that becomes constantly more complex, brains are a prime necessity. That's why all of us have a vital stake in our colleges and universities.

Almost three million visitors, traveling in 808,445 vehicles entered the Great Smokies last travel year. This was a slight gain over last year when 2,885,819 entered the Park. The increase has been steady over the past six years, when in 1952 the total was 2,322,152. Checks made at four entrances showed that 47 per cent entered the Park via Gatlinburg, while 33 per cent went in from Oconaluf- tee (Cherokee). 13 per cent from Townsend, and other areas accounted for seven per cent. Tennessee cars accounted for 43 per cent of the total, followed by North Carolina with 12.6 per cent.
