Special Buses For Appalachian Game As is the custom each year, the Western Carolina College student body chartered twenty- five buses for one of the football games in Asheville. This year buses were chartered for the Appalachian versus Western Carolina game. The buses for this game were sponsored by the Student Senate and the Athletic Department. This year the Athletic Department paid almost the total bill for these buses. In a meeting with the Student Senate, Athletic director, Coach Tom Young said: "Whenever the finances of the Athletic Department permits we, are happy to provide this service for the students." The majority of the freshman class made the trip by bus. The total number of students who took the bus was around 750. Adding to this the number of students who went by car, an estimated three-fourths of the entire student body attended the game. Nothing In Top 50 To Be On Radio Show The IDIOT AND THE ODDITY show is the improbable name of a new radio program, to be heard for three hours on Thursday on WWOO. MC's are Will Hipps and Bill Raoul. Music to be heard on this show will be classical and modern progressive jazz. Said Raoul, "We guarantee not to play anything on the Top 50." CAROLINIAN columnist, Bill Shawn Smith, has "Music for Monday Afternoon" stressing show tunes — listening and dancing music. He also, according to Raoul, "doesn't play the Top 50." WCC Campus In Constant State Of Construction For the past several years, Western Carolina College has been in a constant state of construction in one form or another. Hardly a year has passed in the last 12 that did not find some construction being either started or completed. The current program includes a women's residence hall placed into use at the beginning of this school year. Actually one building, it is operated as two separate units with a connecting area of approximately 75,000 square feet, which includes a parlor, lounge, two faculty apartments, and other facilities. The two residence units are four- story wings, each containing 100 student rooms. This building was erected at a cost of $794,727, with furnish ings and equip; to $63,977. Now nearing completion is a building between Reid Gymnas ium and the tennis courts, which will house a swimming pool. The building itself is 60 feet by 137; the pool, 42 feet by 75. The pool contains six official lanes, and will figure prominently in the college's physical education pro gram. Construction costs amount to approximately $160,000; equipment, $23,560. Construction of a new laboratory school is under way, with completion scheduled in time for the opening of the 1963 term. Cost is set at $750,- 000. When the public school pupils are housed in this building, the present laboratory school, McKee Building, will be converted for use by college classes. In all, the college's physical plant is valued at well over $10 million dollars. Requests for further appropriations to be presented to the next General Assembly amout to $9 million; however, no plans for additions can be made until that body has acted upon the requests. Western Carolina College's reputation for having some of the State's most beautiful girls in its student body is proudly up-held this year with seven title-holding beauty queens living on campus. First of these reigning ladies is Miss Trudy Cauthen, an 18- year old freshman from Newton, and holder of four titles, including Miss Newton Conover. She also has a brother, "Butch'' Cauthen attending WCC. Joan Carol Davis, 19, an English major from Spindale, holds the title of Miss Rutherfordton as well as Miss Congeniality — N. C. State Apple Festival. Forsyth County Dairy Princess is Winston-Salem freshman, Miss Bette Logan. This title holder has chosen to major in Home Economics. At the age of 10, Pat Melton was Lexington's Miss Junior Er- langer of 1954. Now a freshman Physical Education major, she has also won the race for Miss Lexington, 1962-63. Record-holder among the campus' beauty queens is Miss Gail Robertson, a senior from Spindale. Among her many titles, she is best known as Miss Forest City, 1961-62 and as the 1962 North Carolina Rhododendron Queen. She is sister to Ed Robertson, a WCC sophomore. Miss Hickory Nut Gorge and Miss Civil Air Patrol (1961) of Hickory Nut Gorge are one in the same in Miss Mary Swar- ingen. The 18-year old freshman is a Physical Education major hailing from Chimney Rock. WCC Band To Play The band's first appearance this year is tentatively set for September 29, at the Guilford game, according to Mr. Aaron Hyatt, director of the WCC band. The group had planned to go to the ASTC-WCC game on September 22, but due to the weather, which delayed practice and the illness of Mr. Hyatt, the appearance was cancelled. Present plans for Homecoming and Band Day are for eight to ten visiting bands to march and perform along with the WCC band in the Homecoming Parade and pre-game and half-time ceremonies. A pep band of about twelve members directed by Mr. Hyatt and assistant director Jac Murphy has been organized to provide music for pep rallies. The band's tentative plans for the year includes a pop concert in the winter quarter and a three-day tour of the Piedmont section of North Carolina in the spring quarter. The 36-member marching band is led by Drum Major Buddy Ridge. Fellowships For College Teaching Dr. Charles David Hounshell, associate professor of political science and associate Dean of the College of liberal arts of Emory University, spoke Wednesday evening to a group of WCC faculty members who are interested in making nominations for Woodrow Wilson Foundation fellowships. The Wood- row Wilson fellowships are given each year to college seniors who are interested in teaching in college. The group which met at the Hemlock Inn in Bryson included Dr. W. A. Ashbrook, Jack Bar- nett, Dr. C. D. Killian, Dr. Cecil Mann, Dr. Mabel Crum, Dr. Theodore Huguelet, Dr. R. L. Leftwich, Mr. Ted Matus, Miss Helen Hartshorn, and Dr. Quinn Constantz.

Prior to coming to WCC and Cullowhee, Mr. Godwin had answered the call to the foreign mission field in Ghana. Because of the strict physical requirements of the Foreign Mission Broad, he and his family are unable to return at this moment. In discussing the mountains of this area, he pointed out that they are "varied with moods of contrast and personality." The people are lovely and seem to be progressive, he said. Pleased by the maturity in the students of WCC, he commented, "What I've seen so far of WCC shows me that it is awake, growing, and should produce quality students. The overall attitude is wholesome, attractive, and inspiring because the people seem thrilled in what they are doing." Looking forward to getting to know the students, he added, "I want to share some personal observations from my work overseas in general discussion with the students." It's absolute- cept God to put il ii their work, he said. He added that his position as Chaplain allowed him time to meet and join in fellowship with the Bap tist students on campus as well as at B.S.U. Mr. Godwin is married to the former Miss Carolyn Smith. Their three children, Lark, Leo, and Robin are now attending school in Cullowhee. Funds Appropriated To Campus Groups Rev. Colon Godwin LCT Holds Open House Thank You, Sylva In appreciation to the merchants of Sylva who sponsored College Week (September 17 thru 22), members of the student body made a number of signs and posters which were placed in Sylva at the end of college week. One very large sign which said: "Thank you Sylva for College Week" was placed a- cross the entire front window of the Sylva Herald office. A special trip was made by the buses going to Asheville into, and through, Sylva; and the students acknowledged the friendly relations of the merchants in Sylva. Last Sunday, the Littlc- Theatre-of-Cullowhee held its first open house. From 2 until 4 o'clock, guests were greeted by the Dl Josephine Niggli and Assistant Duane Oliver. The theatre was decorated with displays of student Theatre Arts. Set models by Will E. Hipps, Sam Welsh, Richard Craven, and Bill Raoul, were scattered throughout the various sections of the theatre. In the Greenroom, scrap-books displayed. Two costumed man- nikins wearing costumes designed and executed by Bill Raoul brought back the Court Scene from The Lark, directed last Spring by William Shawn Smith who will also direct the Winter Quarter production, The Diary of Anne Frank. Various other costume sketches were separated by sculpture created by art students Jim Lovett, Ted Home, and Will E. Hipps. Refreshments and music were included in the afternoon's entertainment. Chairman of the Theatre Board, oJseph W. Walker, remarked that he was" . . . extremely pleased with the turn out, but disappointed that more studentsd idn't attend to view the exhibits and become acquainted with the Little Theatre activities." The next major event for the Theatre will be a Fall production of Oscar Wilde's IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, now in rehearsal. With settings designed by Will E. Hipps, EARNEST is under the skilled directing hand of Josephina Niggli, and will be presented toward the end of the quarter. Hyde Happy About 'Harry' The Student Senate bu irolina e and Sylva, which went into effect Sept. 17, has been dally by anywhere from 25 to 50 students according to Student Went L. D. Hyde. Hyde also stated that from this figure the bus service had en used to a gre. tent, but that so far it had proved worthwhile, and that he felt more students would be taking advantage of it in the future. During the week beginning Sept. 17 and ending Sept. 22, the bus service was paid for by the Sylva merchants, but since that time the bus service has been financed by contributions from those making use of the buses. A fee of 250 for those riding the bus will go into effect later. The schedule for the buses going to and from Sylva is as follows: Leave WCC 7:00 am (Leaves from in front of the Townhouse and Baptist Church) Leave Sylva 7:30 am (Leaves from in front of the police station at red light) Leave WCC 3:00 pm Leave Sylva 4:45 pm WCC 6:45 pm Sylva 9:30 pm Leave WCC 9:50 pm Leave Sylva 11:30 pm Two students, Leon Freeman and Dickie Falls, will be driving the buses. Tli.> bow S in Sylva will open this weekend (Sept. 29.) Students who wish to go bowling will be transported from WCC to the bowling lanes on the 6:45 p.m. and 9:50 p.m. buses. The Student Senate has arranged special prices for student bowlers. For a student the fee will be 350 rather than the regular 500 per game and shoes will cost 100 rather than the regular 20e\ The Appropriations Committee of the Student Senate met Monday in the office of Vice- dent for Business Affairs, James E.

This list should be given to the head of the student's major department by noon on Monday, October 1. This is perhaps short notice but we have just been notified that these nominations must be submitted by October 15, and it is sometimes necessary to have several meetings before the final selections. THERE'S PLENTY OF PULCHRITUDE on campus this ytear, as is evident by the seven title-holding coids enrolled at WCC. Seated above, left to right, are Miss Trudy Cauthen, Miss Gail Robertl°"i and Miss Betty Logan. Standing, left to right are Miss Joan Davis, Miss Mary Swaringen and Miss Pat Melton. (Not pictured is Miss Alice Abernethy, who holds the title of Miss Valdese of 1962.) Western Carolina College throughout its 74-year history, has contributed in varying degree to the economy of Jackson county, aside from its cultural and educational contributions. The steady growth of the institution for many years, and its phenomenal rise during the past 12 years have made it a vital force throughout the area, in dollars-and-cents value. The most recent figures show an annual payroll of approximately $1,365,000. This covered a faculty of 119 (including 28 laboratory school teachers), and administrative and service employees numbering 260. As of this fall, the faculty has added 30 new members (11 replacements and 16 new positions), and the increased student enrollment would also necessitate a certain increase in the number of other employees. The employment roll includes many local people, as well as some who reside in the county only temporarily while their husbands or wives are enrolled in the college. It is well known that a number of people have chosen Jackson county as their retirement home, because of its many advantages. Among these are some who, by their own statement, were influenced largely by the fact that the college is located here. As the college personnel increases, and with the considerable number of people choosing this area for retirement home construction in and around Cullowhee has taken on major proportions. This in itself is an economic boost, not to mention the amount of service and commodities required for maintenance of the new homes and families. Fr. John Berry Assumes Duties At St. Mar/s Reverend John Barry has recently been appointed Pastor of Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Sylva. His Pastorate also includes the Newman Center at Cullowhee. For the past five years, Father Barry has served the Catholic congregations of the Sylvania, Georgia, area. He began his work in Georgia following his ordination to the priesthood at Our Lady of the Fields Seminary in Glendale, Ohio. He was active in community and civic affairs while in Georgia. He was a member of the Screnen County Development Board, the Farm Bureau, the Waynesboro Lions Club, the Millen Chamber of Commerce, and the Juvenile Court's Advisory Committee. Father John Gilhooly will continue in his capacity as Chaplain of the Newman Center at WCC. Father Barry will also take part in Newman Club activities. Field Secretary Sees First Fall Miss Carolynn Ballard, National Field Secretary of Delta Zeta National Sorority, visited the Theta Iota chapter this past week, remaining from Sunday to Thursday. Miss Ballard is a member of the Mu Chapter at the University of California, where she graduated this past June with a degree in Clothing Design and Merchandising. She is a native of Los Angeles. Miss Ballard holds a full-time office, and travels over the United States during the nine schools months. She came to WCC from the University of Tennessee, and went next to the University of South Carolina. She described her position as "liason between the national and local chapters." Miss Ballard commented about WCC, "I love the countryside. This is the first fall I have ever seen — there is no fall in California." While at WCC, Miss Ballard met individually with each DZ sister, and attended the Tuesday night meeting. ^i
