T Michigan Gets Bio-Engineering ANN ARBOR, MICH.—(I.P.) The University of Michigan this fall will offer a new educational program — called bio- engineering — in the College of Engineering to combine studies in any area of engineering with those in the medical and biological sciences. The program will provide engineering graduates equipped to perform professional tasks related to life and living systems. Under it an engineering student may take courses for credit in a wide range of biological or medical subjects — such as anatomy, botany, bacteriology, biochemistry, organic or physical chemistry, and zoology — along with the courses required for his chosen engineering degree. He will be graduated with an engineering degree, but also with the knowledge necessary to enable him to work professionally in many areas associated with medicine, dentistry, pharmaceutical and other biological research. Need for the new program was pointed out by Glenn V. Edmondson, associate dean of the College of Engineering, who noted that "there are very few tasks in engineering now that are not assocaiated with the human being and his reactions; engineering is more and more related to the living cell."

WELCOME, STUDENTS TO The College Shop ALL YOUR COLLEGE NEEDS SANDWICHES — SCHOOL SUPPLIES — Next to Joyner — Cafeteria Serves WCC Students 4500 Meals Daily In Two Lines Western Carolina College has one of the largest cafeteria operations in the state—4,500 meals a day, served through only two lines. The "administration from President Reid down" has worked hard for several months trying to improve conditions in and around the cafeteria. A canopy enclosing the walk at the front of the cafeteria has been requested, but the state has not yet made the appropriation. A covered walk is being constructed from the terrace to the front of the cafeteria and should provide an adequate shelter until something more permanent can be arranged. Mr. Stedman Mitchell, manager of the cafeteria stated, "We know that it is uncomfortable to stand in line for so long, and we consider this our number one problem. Our customers have been very reasonable and patient, and we commend them for their understanding." Mr. Mitchell said that the only relief in sight rests in the hands of the students themselves. The students should regulate their timing so that there will be a consistent flow of traffic. In the failure of the school bond issue last year the school lost a new wing to the already existing cafeteria and an additional serving line. Mr. Mitchell summed up the discussion with this statement: "We would like to commend our student body, Senate, student body president, fraternities, sororities, and especially the student cafeteria committee for their patient understanding and fine suggestions. It seems that each year we have more students on our side than we had the year before. This is not Senate Needs Cooperation, Says Senior "I feel the Student Senate could benefit the students more through the cooperation and interest of the Student body," were the words of Vivian Lea- therwood, who is serving her second year as a student senator. As a senior majoring in Spanish and scoial science, Vivian is the President of Albright- Benton Dormitory and a member of Women's House Government. She was Student Body secretary her junior year and a delegate to the North State Student -Government Association Conference this year. Vivian feels that the sponsor- always true with college cafeterias. We are proud of this because we feel that having our fine 'chiefs' on our s|de is not enough; we want a lot of 'braves' also, just in case we have to go to battle." There appears to be no relief in the near future to the long lines, but the administration and the cafeteria staff are doing everything possible to improve the eating conditions and the appearance of the cafeteria.

She went on to say that "we got many compliments from the visiting delegates on the food, scenery, students, and campus in general." "In the near future the Student Senate hopes to begin a project on the improvement of the campsite area of Lake Glenville. This would include the possibility of builidng a boat dock." Vivian feels the improvement of the campsite is the most worthwhile at present because of the great recreational benefit to the students through greater access to swimming and boating facilities. By Robbyn Morrow News & Feature Editor The younger generation has been going to the do^s ever since 1929, thus we see that our corrupt present generation is nothing new. This deduction is drawn from reading a book, published in 1929, entitled Deans and Advisers of Women and Girls. This amazing book, 636 pages in length, brings much enlightenment on today's school situation, and shows that many things (Thank Goodness) have changed. Others, unfortunately, have not. Some things, dealing with "the humanities" have probably been the same since the legendary apple-eating scene. One sentence, in particular, describing the personality of the Dean of Women I find noteworthy: "She should be as bright and buoyant as the sunshine, but in substance as old and stable as the hills." (And there is absolutely no ulterior meaning in this quotation.) According to this book, the Dean of Women is a composite of Florence Nightingale and Dear Abby. One suggestion of her duties, a little on the Abby-ish side, was for a Sunday afternoon reading hour for all the girls. Now this . . . well, we don't have a big e- nough fireplace here on our campus, but undoubtedly, the suggestion has merit. We could have a weekly reading of the Women's House Government rules, but it's pretty doubtful if anybody, much less Mrs. Renfro, would have that much time in one week. This book, incidentally, "broke the first path" is setting forth in clear, concise terms the duties and qualifications of a successful and effective Dean of Women. The author is Anna Eloise Pierce. It is written in two parts, twenty-five chapters, and fifteen appendices. It is weighty — and thorough. Chapter one deals with social activities. One of the more undesirable of these activities is the evil sport of dancing. "Millions . . ." says the book," have carefully guarded their children against what they believe to be the injurous effects of this amusement ..." Furthermore, "The teaching of social dancing should not be fostered by the institution itself. It certainly cannot be consistently done by the institutions which . . . refrain from teaching the Bible and religious truths." Can you imagine how things would be if this were in effect today? Sammy Kaye and his gang, and Miss Peterson, would be wicked, and we all: corrupt! Next, the evils which are resultant of dancing: "The sensuous features of modern dancing too often lead to . . . outrageous license." Also, "Certain women students receive too much attention from the men and "their heads are turned' in consequence." To eliminate this evil, several steps were to be taken. All of the steps are much too numerous to be listed here, but the main ones were "to eliminate vulgar, immodest, frea-k ish dances, by insisting on proper position in dancing, by refusing to permit . . . late hours ... by eliminating the grotesque, noisy, peculiarly accented jazz and substituting high-class dance music ... a beginning will be made in solving this serious problem." These steps were to try to keep the students down while dancing was going on—so nobody got excited or anything. We, in today's college, have done something about the second of the above criteria. Late hours definitely aren't permitted. All Cinderellas must be in by 12! The dance could be reformed, and the following suggestion was quoted from the Atlantic Monthly: "Whoever wishes to reform the dance must break the grip that clutches partner against partner in shuffling, wriggling ambulation." This we of the modern-day world have also done something about. Have you ever seen anyone "clutching" a partner while doing the Twist? Then last, but not least, is a suggestion for simply cutting dancing out of the school program: "studying ways of making the unobjectionable recreations and amusements equally enjoyable and tactfully substituting them for dancing, our schools can gradually bring into the social life of the students a better balanced social program." Which makes one wonder if they meant things like hopscotch, fruit-basket turnover, or (even better) Patty-Cake, Patty-Cake. All fine, wholesome recreation. So cheer up, everybody. We think we are deprived because "they" don't want kissing in front of the dorm. What if we were a church school and couldn't dance. The above remarks aren't as medieval as they may seem. A young man was dismissed from a junior college, in this state, last week, for dancing on the campus. Actually, things here are great!

Harvard Expands Tutorial Program Miss Christine Anne Bergner, a native of Berwick, Penn., is a new instructor in the Physical Education Department. Miss Bergner received her Bachelor of Science Degree in 1961 from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. During the summer of 1962, she ">ed her Master's Degree in I Physical Education from the I University of North Carolina. Miss Bergner worked her way through college. During the summer, she counseled at various camps to earn her fall tuition. To earn the winter tuition, Miss Bergner worked as a cashier in a clothing store. She obtained spring quarter tuition by working as a lab assistant and at other part time jobs on campus. During her college career, Miss Bergner was active in several clubs. She was a member of the Women's Athletic Association, serving as vice-president and secretary, and president of the Physical Education Club. She took an active part in the Biology Club, the University Chorus, the T.C.U. A Capella Choir, the Chapel Choir of which she was librarian, and served as Student Council Representative. CAMBRIDGE, MASS. — (I.P.) — Significant changes adding flexibility and interest to the individual programs of students in the upper three classes at Harvard College were reviewed here by President Nathan M. Pusey. One of the most important, his report revealed, was the rescinding by the faculty of legislation passed in 1958 which in effect limited tutorial work in all fields after the sophomore year to honors candidates. "In its stead new regulations were adopted which make it possible in ail departments for any student who is doing satisfactory work to continue in his department's tutorial program up to and including writing of a senior thesis. This action recognizes that almost all Harvard College students are now able and sufficiently interested to profit from independent work. "The new vote also permits any student whose grades are sufficiently high, even though he is not formally a candidate for honors in his department, to become a candidate for a degree cum laude in General Studies. This move introduces a new variety and freedom of choice for tlv> student. Still another development is the opportunity for independent study offered some students who now can count for credit toward a degree the time they spend on expanded tutorial or individual research. "There have been three other recent developments in fields of undergraduate concentration. One is the institution of tutorial instruction for undergraduate honors candidates in chemistry. The second is the offering of two parallel plans of undergraduate study by the Department of Biology — a comparatively traditional one designed for students whose major concern is understanding organisms in their evolution, environment, function and behaviour; and another plan, in the field of molecular biology, which permits students to take fewer courses in biology in order to obtain a broader background in the allied sciences of physics, chemistry and mathematics. "Still a third development is Although this year marks the beginning of Miss Bergner's teaching career, she finds her work "pleasing and really challenging." She decided to enter the field of physical education because she "had always enjoyed sports in high school." By helping with sports programs in summer camps, her interest in her chosen field was increased. Miss Bergner's hobbies include swimming, particularly diving, tennis, horseback riding, and camping. Her pet peeve is waiting on someone." Concerning her attitude toward the college, Miss Bergner says, "I really like it at WCC. The students and faculty have made me very happy here." the new interdepartmental field of concentration in Social Studies, intended to provide a small number of undergraduate honors candidates with a means for intensive study of problems of industrial societies, problems of developing societies, and problems of international affairs."
