XXIII, NO. 14 Tuesday, April 8, 1958 CULLOWHEE, N. C. FOUR CANDIDATES IN RACE FOR TOP POSTS WC Staff Makes Nominations For Editor And Business Manager For 58-59 Richard Jackson, a Junior from Hendersonville, and Weaver Hipps, a junior from Canton, have been nominated by The Western Carolinian staff for Editor-in-Chief for the 1958-59 college year. Bob Abbott, sophomore from Bryson City, and Ernest Sullins, sophomore from Spruce Pine, have received the nominations for the post of Business Manager. Both Jackson and Hipps have served as assistant editors during the current year and, according to Ben Edwards, editor, have worked hard to improve each publication. The nominations were made at last week's staff meeting and the election will be by secret ballot at the next staff meeting to be held on Wednesday night, April 16. Bob Abbott has served as feature editor during the past year and as author of the "Just Between Us" column. Ernest Sullins has held the post of feature writer and as author of the "Introducing . . ." column. Ballard Medford Juliano New Cafeteria Plans Complete MEANDERING —0— ABOUT —0— CAMPUS By B. E. DR. PAUL A. REID, president of the college, was in Pilot Mountain this past week end visiting his home town. Mrs. Anna Crawford, his secretary, was off to Hampton, Va. THE WHG OFFICERS were working overtime this week. THE CROWDS attracted to the Student Union by the recently organized dance band on Tuesday nights are something to behold. A- bout the only thing that's been found to stir them with is the "bug dance." THE NEW DORMITORY now has a roof and the men are as busy as bees in the brick hive as they hop around finishing up the inside. They say it'll be ready by fall and Mrs. Elsie Brown, housing officer, already has the rooms numbered and is assigning them to prospective students. Anyone know what name will grace the front entrance? THE TREES will soon be budding but the litterbugs have already beat them out. These nice spring days are fine for walking a- bout the campus, but it's a shame the trash cans 'aren't used more often. THE CAMPSITE still lies undeveloped at Glenville Lake. This spring weather should bring some construction crews out to begin work there again. Any students wishing to help are urged to see Marvin Cole. THE BASKETBALL BANQUET held last Tuesday night was quite a success, say the players, and the food was excellent. Congratulations to Randall Shields and Swede Frauson for being elected captains for next year. More about this on the Sports page. RAY MEDFORD was the first presidential candidate to get some campaign posters up around campus. Soon the campus will be well decorated with more of the same. TYREE KAISER was loading up his car with college catalogues, copies of The Western Carolinian and other materials this week as he prepared to make another journey eastward to attract students to dear olde Western Carolina College. THE CLUB REPORTERS did better this week about getting their news in on time. Congratulations. OUR APOLOGIES to WMSJ in Sylva for saying their call letters were WSMJ in our last edition, and also to Ernest Sullins for calling him Edward. THE AIR FORCE may not be in the satellite race with the Army and Navy but they're sending their band to Western Carolina College next year for a lyceum number. GHOST TOWN, USA, was a good name for the campus this past week end. Except for the fact —Continued on Page 6 Reid Announces At Faculty Meet Dr. Paul A. Reid, president of WCC, announced to the faculty at their last meeting that the architect's plans for the new cafeteria have been approved. This means that the contract will be let a- round April 9. Construction may begin in approximately 30 days from that date, according to Mr. Harley T. Shelton, College Engineer. Students welcome the news that the $407,000 cafeteria, with a capacity for some 750 students at one time, is near reality. The cafeteria will be located on the site of the dismantled old Classroom Building which is now a mere ghost of a memory. Several other projects are now in the planning stage. One of these will interest car owners. A car- washing station will be built behind Robertson Hall. It should be completed in a month or so. Likewise, a parking area is being constructed behind the steam plant. While it is likely this lot will be for the use of staff cars only, it will certainly relieve pressure on other parking areas. The hill near the steam plant is also being graded for a new substation. Pines will be planted a- round this building. Both the parking area and the sub-station should be ready by Fall Quarter. Work will soon begin on the college camp site on Lake Glenville. Any students or organizations who wish to help with this work are urged to see Marvin Cole, student body president. Cats! Grin! What this country really needs is more young people who'll carry to their jobs the same enthusiasm for getting ahead that they display in traffic.

The representatives at this time are Rosalee McLoughlin and Margaret Norton for Sigma Theta Pi, Dot Rhodes and Jo Cothran for Delta Gamma Phi, Bob Game and Ed Henry for Lambda Phi Kappa, Joe Pool and Griff Miller for Gamma Tau, and Bob Searle for Chi Delta. The Greek Council will meet Wednesday, April 9 to elect officers and to ratify the constitution. The Bloodmobile was on campus April 3 and 4.

As you can see, the school is on its way out of what is sometimes called the "Victorian Age." We students must move along with the school. We must progress in several different ways. First and foremost, we must consider our pride in our school. Do we try to build our school spirit or do we degrade it? The school has long been thought of as a "melting pot" for the state. Students, both present and former, are the school's greatest asset; so we, as students, must advocate this institution and try to build up tradition that will be attractive to the students of this region and the state. This school has a great deal of potentiality. We have all heard the speech since we have been here that you can have a college without buildings, without administration, but—you can't have a college without students. This statement is true! It is our desire to work as a mediator between all elements of the campus to aid a conscient- ous faculty-student relationship. Some of the things that must be considered are better representation in the student government Yes, Spring has finally returned to the campus of Western Carolina College and that olde Caro- ina Moon has lost its frozen expression. Despite the Sputniks and Explorers whose beepings might turn the young scientist's thoughts to Jupiter C's and Vanguards, that good old fashion moon still seems to fit better into the twilight scheme of things. Yes, all the satellites man can produce will probably never replace the moon as a symbol of man's desire for romance and love. gram in Sylva, and Thursday night in Cullowhee. The first three choruses were conducted by Mr. Richard M. Grace, director of the Sylva Methodist Choir, with Marjorie Moody at the organ. sr these three choruses, the Easter Communion was observed. The last three choruses were conducted by Mr. Richard Trevarthen, director of the Cullowhee Methodist Choir, with Bobby Potts at the organ. One of the most thrilling moments of the program was the bass solo, "The Trumpet Shall Sound", sung by Mr. Richard Grace who was accompanied by Gene Ellis on the trumpet. group run the government. However, the student body must be well informed about all aspects of the student government, its por tentiality as a power on campus, and trie wishes Of the faculty. For only with a student body informed on all levels can we as students or faculty expect to have the complete cooperation, understanding and good will which must underlie a strong GOVERNMENTAL organization. Another point we must consider is the social one. Students should have something to do on Saturday and Sunday. People without cars have nothing to do.
