WWOO Launches Ninth Year Of Operation With much squawking, squel- ing, and profanity, radio station WWOO, the "Voice of Western Carolina Colleeg" has launched and otherwise thrown itself upon another year. The outcome remains to be seen. Over one hundred students gathered in room 236 Stillwell Tuesday night to pledge themselves to serve the student body. The club was first chartered in 1948 as an extra curricular activity. At that time there were eight members in the club and the station operated for a grand total of 83 hours per year. This year due to the large increase in club membership and interest of the student body plans have been made to operate 83 hours per week from 7:30 AM until 12:00 midnight daily Monday thru Friday. This is a large undertaking and only through the continued interest and support of the tsudent body may support of the student body may club is open to any undergraduate student who is interested in radio and willing to work hard for no pay. The entire operation of the powerful (10 watt) campus station is carried on by students. The writing, programming, advertising, " announcing and a thousand other jobs are all done by students. Plans have been made for many new shows in addition to the Disk Jockey shows now in progress. A drama group is being formed which hopes to present original scripts live from the studios. A news summary is in process of being edited for presentation through out the day. Also a complete sports coverage is in the making. Mail boxes are set up at various places on campus for the convenience of students sending in requests and most important of all suggestions as to how the station may better serve you the students. Any suggestions you may have will be appreciated by the staff. WWOO is known as the "Voice of Western Carolina College" only you the student can make this come true. How? By talking! Do you have a complaint, is there something you'd like to get off your chest? Here's your opportunity. Drope a note in the campus mail with your suggestion, idea, or gripe explained there in and we'll do the rest. Only, one stipulation. It must be true and you must sign it with your real name. This correspondence will go in the club's confidential file and only through due process of law will come into anyone other than a J representative of the club's possession. So let's hear from YOU, help us to make this the most successful year in the history of the Club. Methodist Tri-County Training School To Be Held The Rev.

As you journey about the campus you are very likely to meet a large beaming gentleman with a sparkle in his eyes and wearing a mischevious smile. Dean W. B. Harrill has for the past 10 years chuckled his way into the hearts of countless students. His charming personality and helping hand have been a bulwark of the students here at WCC for the past 10 years. Now acting dean of the college, he is in a position of great help to the students. This is the second time he has served in this capacity. Before coming to Western Carolina Mr'. Harrill served for two years as Senior Educational Training Officer of the U. S. Veterans Administration in North Carolina. His work with the VA consisted in working with all colleges and secondary schools in setting up educational programs for veterans. Prior to working with the VA he served as principal of Fayetteville Junior and Senior High School for 10 years, and as principal of Glenwood Consolidated High School in McDowell county for nine years. Dean Harrill taught at Moores- ville city schools for one year and in his home town of Lattimore for one year. He received his B.S. degree at Wake Forest College and the M.A. degree at UNC through rummer work in the graduate division. He has now completed nine months of graduate work at Columbia University working toward the PhD degree. Other than his job, working with young people, his hobbies are gardening in the summer and bird hunting in the fall and winter, grouse and quail specifically. He has a "very fine" bird dpg of which he speaks with pride, Sir Cedric I Cecile Es Spiffington Sputts. His office has never been known to be closed to students nor has he ever been too busy to listen to their problems and try in every way possible to help them. Editor's note: This is the first In a series of articles designed to better acquaint the students with the administrative organization of Western Carolina College. Some of the desention that has taken place in the past between the students and the faculty and administration has been caused, we feel, in part at least by the student's lack of knowledge concerning what the duties, purposes, and privileges of some of our administrative offices and officers. We think these articles will help better relations between these two groups who have a single goal. Much of the material printed here comes from the "Faculty Handbook." Western Carolina College, like many other colleges of its kind, operates under four administrative areas embracing all functions of the college. These areas are instruction, student personnel, public relations and publicity, and business. Each area is represented by a central committee which serves as the responsible policymaking body and the source of authority for all implementing committees within the same area. It is understood, of course, that the central committees derive, ultimately, their own authority from the President, who in turn repre- State Methodist Student Movement Leader On Campus The Rev. W. M. Wells, State Director of the North Carolina Methodist Student Movement, was on our campus during the past week. Mr. Wells arrived late Thursday night and stayed until Sunday evening. He was here to discuss the program of Wesley Foundation with local officers and to meet the students on our campus. The Wesley Foundation held a Council luncheon in his honor on Friday. Friday night, Wells attended the supper meal in the cafeteria with the Methodist students and on Sunday night he was guest of honor at the Foundation's regular Sunday evening program. The Rev. Wells took over as state director this summer, succeeding the Rev. Robert Reagan, who is now working for the Board of Temperance in Washington, D. C. Wells has his office at 107 Odell Place, Greensboro, N. C.

Their sound started with a distinct "barber-shop" flavor. Aft er a few months of literally "sing ing for their suppers," they con ceived the idea of trying to get a five-voice with only four voices. This germ of an idea has grown and has been polished and perfected until today the Four Freshmen stand at the head of the class, known throughout the country for their distinctive, original style. One night in 1950 they were playing in Dayton, Ohio. A local disc jockey and strong booster took Stan Kenton to hear them. One audition was all he needed to send them to Hollywood, sign them to a Capitol recording contract, and give them the push that propelled them to stardom. Since 1955, and their highly successful single of "Day by Day," the Four Freshmen have had a succession of hits, including "Graduation Day" and "Charmaine," and topped by their albums, "Four Freshmen and Five Trombones," and "Four Freshmen and Five Trumpets." Coupled with their recording successes have been appearances in "Rich, Young, and Pretty," the "Ray Anthony Television Show," numerous guest spots on other network TV shows, and outstanding success in concert appearances in colleges and ballrooms throughout the country. In 1956 the Freshmen were featured in the Nat Cole-Ted Heath Concert Tour. A unique feature of the Four Freshmen is the fact that they provide their own instrumental accompaniment—a fact that permits them almost unlimited versatility in concert performances. They each are outstanding instrumentalists, appealing to audiences visually as well as vocally and in- strumentally. Bob Flanigan sings the top voice, plays trombone, and doubles on bass. Don Barbour, the second voice, is featured on many solos and plays guitar. Ross Barbour handles all the introductions, sings third voice, and plays drums and trumpet. Ken Alber, the bass voice in the group, plays trumpet and mellophone and is featured solo- wise vocally and instrumentally. Bob, Ross, and Don are original members of the group, and all are from Indiana. Ken, who replaced Ken Errair with the Freshmen in April, 1956, hails from New Jersey. The Four Freshmen have won the "Best Vocal Group" catagory in the Metronome Magazine Poll the last three years, Downbeat Magazine Poll the last four years, and thus far in 1957, have led the field in the Billboard and United Press Disc-Jockey's Poll, and Playboy Magazine Jazz Poll. Very few entertainers please the public, critics and fellow professionals as well. The Four Freshmen will appear on our campus on October 14. sents the Board of Trustees of the College. Each of these four central administrative areas is broken down into minor committees within the same area. These lesser committees in turn carry out the duties assigned to their area of responsibility. For instance, under the overall Instruction Committee there is the curriculum committee, the professional growth committee, the teacher education committee, the audio-visual committee, the library committee, the graduate committee, the honorary degrees committee and the faculty welfare committee. Since the duties and responsibilities of the various central policymaking committees often become merged and interwoven, a master committee is provided to define and interpret the duties and fuc- tions of the various central committees as well as of the chief administrative assistants in the college. This is the College Policies Committee. This group is made up of the President of the college as chairman, the dean, four ex-offi- cio members of the four central committees, and six others serving three-year staggered terms, two members being appointed each year by the President of the College. In addition to the Policies Committee there is another committee outside the four central areas. This is the Executive Committee of the Faculty. It serves as an administrative body to aid the President in matters demanding emergency action. It is also one of the constituent units of the Student-Faculty Co-operative Government. The Personnel of the faculty standing committees for the year 1957-58 is as follows: POLICIES: Reid, Chm., Ashbrook (3 year), Beam (2 year), Buchanan (1 year), Chrisman (2 year), Dodson (3 year), Harrill, Hinds (I year) Huskins, C.
