Pictures lot this and future editions of The Western Carolinian will be furnished by Marion C. Caldwell, who took over the post of photographer last week. The position was vacated when Zeke Angel left school at the end of last quarter to go to Florida to take a position with the park service. Caldwell, a native of Hickory, is a freshman here, concentrating in drama. Last quarter, he was the technical effects man for the Little Theatre's production of "Visit To A Small Planet," and this quarter he captured the only male role in the forthcoming production of "Ladies In Retirement." A 1957 graduate of Hickory High School, Caldwell went directly into the Air Force under its one year plan. He completed his training and went to an electronics school before he was discharged to finish his service in the AF Reserve. He is presently active in the reserve unit in Charlotte. His wife, the former Miss Linda Hall, is also a freshman here and is majoring in English. Caldwell's interest in photog- graphy stemmed from the pictures he took while being moved around the country by Uncle Sam. This led to an interest in amateur photography, which in 1. 2. Fall Quarter Honor Roll Announced turn brought him to The West ern Carolinian. According to Caldwell, his favorite subject is liis wife. Mrs. Caldwell declined to comment on this. The first darkroom experience tor the new photographer was in his kitchen v. i his wife set up a do-it-.v darkroom and attempted to process their own film. While the results were, as he terms them, unsatisfactory, they were good enough to further arouse his interest in both the shooting and the laboratory sides of photography. Both Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell plan to take Education degrees and to teach. When asked about more specific plans for the future, he stated that they were not yet completed. "After all," he said, "three years is a long time." When asked if his hobby, which is notorious for forming addicts, caused any friction between him and his wife, Caldwell answered that it didn't, but that Mrs. Caldwell thinks that trying to build a house around a darkroom is somewhat unusual. He noted that the house they are planning is still in its dream stages, and that it would have a room for developing and a room * for printing. Mrs. Caldwell declined to comment. Larger Band At WCC i. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Holidays Begin Friday This week, the entire student population of Western Carolina College prepares for the event that overshadows all other happenings—the giant exodus for the 18 days of Christmas holidays that will begin at 12 noon Friday, December 16. This vacation has been anticipated by about everyone since their return to campus after the Thanksgiving holidays. The old routine talk may be heard all over campus, by students who exclaim', ""Boy, will I be glad when Friday gets here!" or, "I don't know if I will last another four days!" Some students have not been able to last the four days and have received special permis sion to leave early to go home to work. This only shows that everyone who is willing to go home and labor must really need a vacation of some kind. The campus will be quite congested at 11:50 Friday morning. Cars will be lined up in front of, behind, and along side of all the dorms. Everyone will be rushing and breaking their necks to beat their fellow students off campus, to get first crack at the newly constructed highway between Cullowhee and Sylva. All good things come to an end, and the Christmas vacation is no exception. The students will be required to return on Wednesday, January 4, 1961, to begin classes and return to the old grind in a brand new year. Tentative plans have been made to form a large dance band on the Western Carolina College campus, band director Aaron Hyatt announced today. He stressed the fact that these plans are tentative, and that definite plans cannot be announced until several wrinkles, notably instrumentation, have been worked out. If the dance band is formed, it will probably make its debut at the band concert to be presented some time during winter quarter. Proposed instrumentation for the new band is three trumpets, three trombones, four saxes and rhythm. Mr. Hyatt noted that there is still an opening for a tenor saxaphonist. The puropse of this band is to provide the college with a school dance band. The band director pointed out that several college dance bands had become well known locally and served a fine public relations service both for their school and its music department in addition to giving the musicians added experience. He cited the Duke Ambassadors as a good example of this. Honor Roll tor fall quar- ed by the office ol 15.85 per cent of 1 ident body, with ^ Kiking the coveted i figures in- part-time (special) stu- A total of 71 students made the Alpha Honor Roll (a 3.5 quality point ratio), or 4.5 per cent of the student body. The Beta Honor Roll (a 3.0 quality point ratio) lists 179 students, or 11.35 per cent of the student body. These percentages slightly exceed the 12 per cent prediction calculated by the administration on the same grading system.

Take Down Your Posters In the past, the campus has been cluttered up with signs and posters of different sorts. The Student Senate has initiated a new ruling which will curb this problem. Many of the clubs and organizations have already been notified, but we feel that the student body as a whole should know about this new ruling. The new rule is: In the future, all posters and signs placed a- round the campus must be signed in one corner of the poster by the person who puts it up. If the poster is not signed, it will automatically be torn down. The reason for this is that many posters have been left up after announcements, elections of different kinds, etc., are over and thus begin cluttering up the campus. in the event of ties. Only one prize will be awarded within a family. 7. All entries become the property of ABC Radio Network to use as it sees fit and none will be returned. Releases signed by parents or guadians will be required from winners who may be minors. For complete list of winners enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope with your entry. Contest subject to all federal, state and local regulations. Winners will be notified by mail. 8. Winners will be flown to New York City for the day and night of January 18 where they will be guests of ABC Radio, and will be transported from there to Washington, D. C, on January 19, where they will remain as guests of ABC Radio and members of the ABC News team through January 20. The Student Senate is not passing this rule to be harsher on the students (remember, we are students, also), but to keep the campus clean and neat. We feel that it will not be too much trouble for someone to sign his name to a poster or go by and take it down when its specific purpose has been fulfilled. Hence, we ask you to please remove them when they have served their purpose. Gurney Chambers is now doing student teaching at Sylva- Webster High School, but Rupert Bowen will be in his office at alomst any time of day. If you have any specific problems or gripes, he will be glad to see you. la Jayne Cabe, Steve Lewis Camby. Charles Remy-Cabiac Car- row, John Gerald Carter, Larry Benford Chilton, Jack L.
