But what would have been the response had the program been a ball game, a movie or a dance! Even if one had to study, it is probable that he spends at least an hour of his time talking, gazing, wandering, or resting from his books. The program lasted about 50 minutes. To the chorus, I say thank you for a wonderful evening of entertainment. I know it was disgusting to look out and see only a small number of students, but I think the memories of your program will be long remembered and appreciated by the interested few. Sincerely, Bill Briley Dear Editor, Why do we hear so much rumbling about the library not having the right kind of books? Quite a few of the books there have never had their date due cards marred. How does the average immature student plan on criticizing this fact away? Let's face it, students—we are falling into the new era of the non-reader. I heard this proud quote recently: "If I can get through this quarter I will be able to graduate without having to read a single book." This may be old fashioned, but I was under the assumption that the instructors' purpose was to awaken your intellectual want and you could best satisfy this want through reading. At present, the library has over 53,000 volumes. If we had a bookstore then there would be many more volumes. In fact, I have heard that we are a selected depository for government documents. Unfortunately, we do not have the space for these documents. There is no excuse for not accepting all the books, government publications, or any other documents that are offered. These are free and can be very useful. Space cannot be an excuse when a library such as ours indulges in such luxuries as free movies and open stacks. Even if we did not have the above mentioned luxuries, space could not °e an issue. I agree that we Probably do not have room ■ enough on the existing shelves. However, I believe that the person in charge of such matters knows that floor space in the library is sacrificed for the unneeded roominess. Perhaps, if our library was overcrowded with volumes of oooks, we would have a visual reason for asking for a new addition to the library. ne fact remains—there can °e no excuse for not accept- mg material that could en- "ghten a human being! Wayne Vogler TREES. GROW JOBS The Western Carolina College library has bought approximately $700 worth of new books, of which many are now catalogued, shelved, and ready for student use. Among the new books in the fiction category are: Peyton Place by Grace Metalious; South of the Angels by Jessa- myn West; The Secret of the Eleven groups, each including 20 to 30 selected American college students, will form seminars in various European summer to culture and civilization of these ..; a mat Designed for I .iot plan to - i i Graded classes in small sections of six to ten students, each under the supervision of American and native professors, will deal with the reading of classical and mcdern texts, the daily press, contemporary problems, conversation and composition, pronunciation and grammar. Students will also hear lectures on history and literature and meet with outstanding personalities. They will have full auditing privileges at the university in each of the selected towns and cities and will participate in all academic and social activities with German, Austrian, French, Swiss, Spanish and Italian students. Members of Classroom Abroad will live with private families in each city, eat many of their meals with their hosts and share the activities of their sons and daughters. They will have ample opportunities to meet young people from student religious al organic ^. con- ell as On Campus ... —Continued from page 2 version of A Ceremony of Carols, The Flower Drum Song, etc., on Monday night? An article appeared in this paper a few weeks ago about the lack of decent entertainment here. There is no doubt about the shortage, but where are you when it does appear? Let's face it! Too many of you are diligent advocates of culture until time for the count down. The Swinging Door Stories about animals can always stir a giggle. Do you know why the bell on the cow rings? No, it's ont because it was tinker time. It's because his horn won't blow. Or the man who was always cross-breeding animals. He cross-bred an owl with a goat and came up with a hoot'in-any. Or the mixture between the parrot and the chicken. Instead of the chicken cackling when time to lay an egg, he walked up and said, "Where do you want me to put it this time?"

"We have found th! many years of experience that it is quite possible, even if you don't know a word of the language, to learn more than a year's worth of college German, French, Spanish, or Ital- ln the course of a summer," say Dr. Hirschbach, Director of Classrooms Abroad, "provided that we get serious and mature students who are willing to mix business with pleasure." Dr. Hirschbach, who also heads the German language groups, teaches at the University of Minnesota. The French and Spanish groups will be directed by John K. Simon and Robert E. Kelsey, members of the Romance Languages Department at Yale. The Italian group will be led by Charles Affron of Brandeis University. Classroom Abroad, now in its seventh year, has grown from eleven students in 1956 to an anticipated 300 in 1963. Its former students represent some 200 American colleges.

A private non-profit organization founded in 1957 to promote better understanding between Americans and West Europeans, the ASIS achieves its goal by placing as many college and university students as possible in summer jobs in Europe. According to its executive secretary, ASIS, now has more than 3,000 summer jobs available to students who wish to further their education through practical application. In addition to a paying summer job, the Safari offers a 24- day tour of Europe for under $800, all expenses included. Further information may be Robbyn's Eye-View: n The Beginning By Jim Cloninger Editor's Note: Jim Cloninger, formerly a regular Carolinian columnist, appears this week as guest columnist. Other columns by Cloninger will appear next quarter. A few weeks ago my last column stated the following: "So hurry back Doc, there's not many more like you left in Cul- whee." Doc came back. Now he's gone again. This time for good. With him goes an era, an institution, a man, a friend, an educator—Dr. Fred Wayte. Words have not been coined to describe Doc. Nor will I attempt to eulogize such a man. If you knew him, you do not seek words. You seek a cure to fill the vacant spot in your heart, something to dissolve the lump in your throat, and a word of solace for his wonderful wife, Mary. But Mary Wayte will not seek words to comfort her. There's too much of Doc that remains within her. She was a part of Doc. And there are no more like him in Cullowhee. j How about it, worthy administrators? Promote an atmosphere more conducive to study than to public discrimination! The Living End (I Hope) As Zippy prepared to make his first jump from an airplane, a certain air of nervousness crept into his being. "Be cool, Zip," his instructor advised him. "Just jump, scream Geronimo, and you're O. K." Zip hurled himself into in- finate space. Bam! The door slammed behind him. A few minutes later, a knocking at the door. Behold! There stood Zip. "Uh, what'd you say that damn Indian's name was?" As Zippy himself would say, He has just returned from a four-day tour with the WCC women's, chcrus. A ( ber said, "I didn't know he was going until we saw him at Mocksville, but I should hjve known. He is a terrific boost on a trip. When we are at a school where we don't know anybody except each other, it's a comfort to see him in the audience. He even acts as if he enjoys every performance, which has to be impossible after seeing and hearing it five times, already." Idea his numerous duties of selecting the freshman class chool term, Mr. Kiser represents WCC at many high schools, throughout the state, which sponsor a college day for the benefit of helping students select the college best suited for them. It is a fact that in many situations a students choice of WCC for a college is contributed to Mr. Riser's influence. Mr. Kiser stated the "Many parts of N.C that right off hand."

Well, that's what Robbyn promised you in the brief, but lively, return of my column. Bang No. 2. There it is again. Have you noticed the diligent cleansing which has swept our campi like a white tornado? No., we weren't getting ready for the of L. D.'s Fan Club Meeting Houses (the new telephone booths, stupid), we were but dispersing of a few hours of labor, honorably assigned us by the honorable SFJC (the in- fractoin was using medicinal terms in the pool room, "sew the -O- up!") Seriously, those work hours are just too much for me. I didn't mind too much until I was queried by the six-year- old on the playground of Mc- Kee. As I methodically punched Pepsi cups with my machine (a damn broom handle with a nail eminating from its terminance), the youngster popped the question thusly, "Mister, what did you do wrong?" In the day of old that would have been The Living End! Maybe public ridicule is what the SFJC is seeking when work hours are assigned. But I offer a simple suggestion. How about confined study hours instead of work hours? IVEYS of ashevi obtained from Mr. Clarence Chrisman, chairman of the Modern Languages Department.
