  • AUTUMN ON THE WANE : ■■:■: ■:; ,.:■ ..... ■ ■ I THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Friday, November 6, 1959 New Courses To Be Offered I Business Department A new course in Cost Accounting will be taught by Mr. Barnett this year. This course is designed to teach the principles of the Job Cost System, the Process Cost System and the Standard Cost System. It is a business elective course and will be taught approximately every fourth or fifth quarter, or whenever there is a demand for it. It will supplement the course in Principles of Accounting, and give additional background in cost accounting to those students who desire to continue in the field of accounting. An interesting course in the Business Department is the one on Management and Investments, taught by Dr. Ashbrook. The students subscribe to the Wall Street Journal, which tells what is happening to the various companies, and lists the retail prices of stocks and bonds on the market. The students select stocks which they think would be good to buy for short term or long term investments, and follow those stocks. From their text book the students find out what companies deal with, such as stocks and bonds, what they are good for, and how they raise money for the companies. This course is an advantage to the student as background for understanding how corporations work, how to read reports, and understand where the company stands. It helps the average citizen make wise investments. Social Science Department The Social Science Department is offering two new courses this year. One of these is Cultural Anthropology taught winter quarter by Mrs. Brown. This is the first time a course in anthropology has been taught here. There will be no text book for this course; it will be built around ten tape recordings. Books of readings which are also based on the subjects dis cussed in the thirty-minute tape recordings will be on reserve in the library. Several new books in the field of cultural anthropology have been added to our library during the past year. Students taking the course will do term papers comparing the culture of America with that of other countries. They will deal with language, education, marriage and the family system, religion, and ethics. They will also study the technological, authoritative, political, economic, literary, and artistic manifestations of primitive and complex societies. This course will help the student to learn about other cultures, and will help him to be more objective in his thinking about other peoples. Political History The other new course in the Social Science Department, also offered winter quarter, is the History of Political Parties and Politics in the United States, taught by Dr. Smith. The course is open to those having had American History 251 and 252, and Junior ranking. The course deals with a study of the history, organization, and functions of political parties in American politics, methods of nominating candidates for public office, problems of American suffrage, and the administration of political elections. One thousand pages of library reading will be required for Juniors and fifteen hundred pages for Seniors. The students will make reports on their research and findings. The course will enable the student to better understand his responsibilities as a voter and citizen. Those who plan to take the course should sign up temporarily with Dr. Smith before Thanksgiving, so that books can be ordered, and other preparations be made. Even now, you can feel it in the air. Winter creeps in, and every sound falling leaves will soon be hushed. The sunlight that was once warm, gives way to a sudden chill as it filters down from the ashen skies. Blind Homer could not see the ornamented hills with their array of trees as colorful as the rainbow, but no doubt he could sense winter's approach by listening to the cold forebodings. The painted leaves, dancing on wisps of air, are one by one borne away. And as the last faint whisper of the Autumn zephyr brushes our ears, we cannot escape the empty feeling that grows inside of us. Soon, the memories of today and yesterday will fade into obscurity when the ponds, the trees, and ail of nature is silenced by winter's whiteness. And what we have done this fall, the things we will always remember, will become confused with countless other autumns we try to remember. So we try to hang on to the last few precious moments of this season, until the last leaf, becoming a little too crisp, gives its final shudder, and falls. Interviews The remainder of fall quarter, representatives from various companies will be on campus to interview interested students. A representative from Burroughs Business Machines, who will return spring quarter, was on campus last Thursday to interview fall and winter quarter graduates. On November 10, a representative from the Gaffney Manufacturing Co. will be on campus to hold interviews. On November 11, Mr. Neal Ross of Pacific Mills will interview those students interested in the textile field. Also on ths day Mr. Jack Jackson from Burlington Mills will interview applicants for the management field in textiles. A representative from the Franklin Hosiery Co. will be on campus November 12. Olin-Mathison, Inc., at Pisgah Forest, will come to campus on November 19 to interview for personnel in one and two-year secretarial courses. NOTICE The Student Union was recently presented a gift of 20 packs of bridge playing cards by the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company of Winston-Salem. Mr. R. Alexander of Asheville made the presentation along with 20 bridge scoring pads. These cards have been very popular with the Student Bridge Club in the past. The Club sends its thanks to the R. J. Reynolds Company. TWIN BARBER SHOP By The Town House "We Need Your Head In Our Business" TWO BARBERS Thomas R. Moore B. T.
