Margery Greenfield English Instructor Has Interesting Background By Joan Davis Feature Writer To the teaching staff of the English department has been added the personality of Miss Margery Greenfield, who is teaching courses on the freshman and sophomore level. Com- ming to Cullowhee directly from graduate study at the University of North Carolina, Miss Greenfield has an interesting background of experiences which culminated in her return to English and the profession of teaching. A native of Rochester, New York, Miss Greenfield attended the Harley School, a small, co-educational country day school, before entering Colby Junior College in New London, New Hampshire. Graduating from Colby, she entered Columbia University in New York City, where she obtained her B.S. degree in Physical Therapy. Posessing a keen desire to be of service to others, Miss Greenfield accepted a position as Assistant Director of Physical Therapy at Charlotte Memorial Hospital. Though working in constant communication with others in a profession of service, there was, nevertheless, present a desire to return to her first love, the field of English, and to determine her ability in teaching. After four years with the Charlotte Memorial Hospital, she returned to school, this time U.N.C., where she earned an M.A. in English, after first completing the necessary prerequisites. Describing her first impressions of the WCC campus, Miss Greenfield stated that "it's beautiful beyond all description! Colby Junior College, in New Hampshire, is almost as remote as it is here, but this is the most beautiful section in which I've ever lived." Finding the first weeks of teaching to be a blur of students, lectures, classes, and time consuming work, her first impressions of teaching have strengthened her desire to do so as she exclaims "I love teaching—and the students. I find them to be more amenable than students in other schools. They are very responsive, open and above-board, making it very easy to work with them." Outside interests of Miss Greenfield are varied as they denote talent and ability in the field of music. Enjoying both listening and performing, she has had formal piano instruction for nine years and a summer of organ instruction. Belonging to several different choral groups, including the Choral Society in Charlotte, proved to be an asset to another of her hobbies, that of traveling. Because of her love of music, she completed an eight-country tour of the major music festivals of Europe immediately following graduation from Columbia. Also listed among her spare-time activities, when there is spare time, is reading. Discovering an avid interest in English literature, Miss Greenfield's future plans include the completion of requirements for her Ph.D., of which a semester's work has already been completed. Also related to the field of literature is her desire to a- gain return to Europe, spending more time in Italy, Germany, and England. Most important in her future plans is an effort to grow in her chosen profession. Linda Alexander Delta Siqs Picks Linda Alexander As 'Dream Girl' Miss Linda Alexander, senior from Hayesville, was chosen "Dream Girl" of Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity recently. Linda is an elementary education major, and plans to teach after graduation. Her hobbies are ice skating, tennis, swimming, music, and boyfriend Chip Brunnemer, a brother of Delta Sigma Phi. Asked her advice to freshman, Linda said, "Four years pass too fast. Have fun and make use of every minute; work hard!" Linda, a blue-eyed brunette, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Alexander of Hayesville. Commenting upon her selection as "Dream Girl," Linda said, "I feel honored to have been chosen. I shall hold this title with respect to the wonderful brothers who bestowed this honor upon me. I shall try my best. em in a way of which they will be proud." Linda is a member of Sigma Kappa Sorority and the Student N. E. A. Kennedy Addresses Nation: The U.S. Eagle Shrieks NSSGA Delegates Meet Here To Exchange Ideas Western Carolina College was host to delegates from seven i for the North State Student Government Association Fall Conference held last weekend. Dave Peebles, President of the NSSGA from Atlantic Christian College, Wilson, N. C, presided at the General Assembly. President Paul A. Reid of WCC welcomed the visiting delegates. Later Saturday Dr. A. K. Hinds, Dean of Instruction at WCC, spoke to the group on the "Impor- ance of Cooperation between the Student Government, Faculty, and Administration." Stressing the improvement of the individual student governments through the acquired ideas from members of other student bodies, the NSSGA delegates attended discussion workshops. Some of the main topics of the workshops were: CULTURE AND INTERESTING AS PECTS OF COLLEGE LIFE, HOW CAN S. G. A. PROMOTE AND IMPROVE LEADERSHIP ON CAMPUS, RECREATION, UNITY OF CAMPUS ORGANIZATIONS, INTEREST AND PROCEDURES OF ELECTIONS, FINANCE, STUDENT REACTION TO INTERNATIONAL PROBLEMS, and FRESHMAN ORIENTATION. Two main resolutions were passed at this year's conference. The first was the coordination of International Relation Clubs from North Carolina colleges in obtaining speakers from other countries. The purpose of this resolution is to enlighten schools on international problems. The second resolution was for the coordination of schools in obtaining "big name" entertainment. By cooperation among North Carolina schools it would be possible to receive cut rates when booking entertainers.

Reynolds Babcock Foundation. Blockade Set; United Nations Security Council Meets In NY Lacy Thornburg Addresses YDC In Hunter Gallery State Representative Lacy Thornburg addressed the Young Democrats Club Monday evening in the Gallery of Hunter Library. A candidate for reelection, Thornburg urged the club to work energetically toward electing Democrats to all available offices. He praised the Democratic party's record of capable government in North Carolina and charged Republican members of the 1961 General Assembly with being more interested in creating campaign issues than in improving the welfare of North Carolina. Luther Shaw, secretary to Congressman Roy A. Taylor, brought Taylor's greetings to the club, and presented a flag which has flown over the United States Capitol. On behalf of Taylor, Shaw urged all club members to attend the 11th Congressional District Rally in Asheville, held October 24. The committee is also asking $10,000 for 1963-64 and another $10,000 for 1964-65 to continue its program of action research. All indications are that the summer program of 1962 was highly successful. The 462 people who participated in the program included: University Editor Fired By Prexy The president of the University of Colorado last week fired the editor of the school's daily student newspaper. In a story in a supplement to the paper, student Carl Mitcham had described Senator Barry Goldwater as "a fool, a mountebank, a murderer, no better than a common criminal." Apologies from the university's administration had failed to satisfy Mr Goldwater. Then editor Gary Althen wrote an editorial advocating the admission of Red China to the UN. It was too much for President Newton. The editor, he said, had "displayed a pattern of editorial irresponsibility that required his removal." The 1963-64 program will consist of three superior elementary school groups and three highly gifted elementary school groups; four classes of superior high school students doing college-level work in Chemistry, English, History, and Modern Algebra; and three classes on "The Gifted Child" for teachers and leadership personnel. Beanie-Clod WCC Frosh Not Alone A random poll taken recently at Davidson College, reported in The Davidson, showed that 37% of the freshman class were violating one or more of the Freshman Regulations. The poll covered a consecutive 100 freshmen, and violations covered were failure to wear name tags and the prescribed beanies. Of 100 freshmen, 24% lacked name tags. Five per cent did not have beanies, and 8% were wearing neither name tags nor beanies. One freshman commented on the regulation system, "I think it's good at first, but it gets pretty old after a while." He stated also that greater enforcement of the rules "would be ridiculous." Another comment was, "It's kinda 'Mickey Mouse.'" He felt that nobody ioleni.ly opposed to the regulations, but said, "They are all right. A beanie just becomes part of you after a while." Another freshman commented, concerning enforcement of the rules, "There are people (upperclassmen) who don't give a damn. It just hasn't been enforced that much; it's getting lax. Only a few people are interested and a couple of gung-ho's." Regulations concerning freshmen are in effect at Davidson until Thanksgiving "unless the Freshmen win the Field Day." Sophomores Must Take Exams Saturday, Nov. 3 Sophomore Exams will be given on Saturday, November 3, 1962, to regular WCC students who have a minimum of 70 quarter hours or more of credit. Other students to be given the tests are WCC students who are to retake tests to remove deficiencies, all transfer or new students, and others who have been advised to take these tests. Students taking the tests must register with Mrs. Norman in Full House At Reid Greets Kaye& Company Of Twenty Sammy Kaye "Swing and Sway" King Sammy Kaye was greeted by a packed house as he kicked off WCC's '62-'63 Lyceum Series with a combination stage show-dance in Reid Gymnasium last Tuesday evening. The entire Kaye organization was on hand for the four hour program which featured numerous specialty numbers, including the bandleader's famed "So You Want to Lead a Band" sequence. Sally Elliott, wife of Senior Russell Elliott, was awarded the conducting prize. Spotlighted during the show were instrumentalist Pnima, who also vocalized, soprano Le- nore Marten, Irish tenor Dennis Smith, a newcomer to the Kaye troupe, comedian Wes Harrison, and star dancer Delores Gay. Also highlighted in the Tuesday night concert-dance was J. Blasingame Bond's Dixieland band which came from the main body of the Kaye orchestra. Lyceum Chairman Lilian Buchanan expressed her pleasure at the reception Mr. Kaye and his company received on the campus. Renowned actress Judith Anderson is scheduled to appear in the Spring to conclude the current series. the Guidance Clinic, 215 Stillwell Building.

Regular WCC students should check by the Student Affairs Office to see about deficiences prior to the testing date. A student should know his total number of quarter hours. This may be ascertained by checking with the Registrar's Office. For further information, students may contact Mr. Taylor L. Huskins, Dean of Student Affairs, m fl By Gerald Holder Carolinian News Analyst History was made last Monday evening as President John F. Kennedy addressed the nation, giving the U. S. a firm policy concerning the Cuban crisis. Essentially, the President endorsed a policy of blockading the small island 90 miles off the coast of Florida. This action came as a result of recent reconnaissance information which revealed that Cuba now possesses Russian- built missiles capable of a range of 1,000 miles. Prior to this the U. S. government had not been overly concerned about Cuba's receiving "defensive" weapons. However, the air reconnaissance photographs revealed the installation of "offensive" missiles. It was also disclosed that bombers capable of carrying nuclear warheads were being uncrated and assembled in Cuba. According to Washington, it is now evident that the U.S.S.R. is attempting to build a striking force in Cuba. Cuban radio reports stated that Castro had been allowed to see the missile sites only once, and then only with special permission. This is further testimony to the complete Communist domination of Castro's Cuba. The U. S. government concluded from these facts that Cuba was a definite threat to the Western Hemisphere. High gov ernment officials decided that the Cuban problems had to be challenged and overcome. Mr. Kennedy stated that the missile bases must be removed either by the U.N. or by U. S. armed forces. The first step toward ending the Cuban problem was a naval blockade enacted at 10 a.m. (EDT) Wednesday, October 24, 1962. Essentially, the blockade was set up to stop shipment of offensive weapons to Cuba, not the essentials of life. The U.S.S.R. immediately stated that it would ignore the blockade and continue shipments to Cuba. The latest reports from the blockade ships is that the leading Russian ships have altered course. Kennedy's plan is to "search or sink" all ships entering Cuban waters. He further stated that if Cuba fired a missile at the United States, it would be considered synono- mous with a Russian assault. This action would result in retaliation on the U.S.S.R. with all powers at U. S. disposal. President Kennedy affirmed that this country is, consequently, holding Russia directly responsible for any action the Cuban government takes. ^*S In the past, the United States has, as have all other nations, v interpreted a blockade as an act of war. Recently the President and Vice President both recog- jj nized this fact publicly. On Tuesday afternoon, mem- ' bers of the United Nations Security Council convened in New York to discuss investigation of munitions points on the small Latin American island. Regardless of the outcome of the present Cuban crisis this reporter believes that time for indecision has ended. The U. S. government has laid down a policy; it is the duty of every U. S. citizen to support and believe in this government. This is not a time for PANIC; it is a time for courage and personal dignity. We must stand behind our government and its policy. In times such as these there is no place for those who are not sure of what they believe in. Bus Schedule The schedule for the buses going to and from Sylva is as follows: Leave WCC 7:00 a.m. (from in front of the Town House and Baptist Church) Leave Sylva 7:30 a.m. (from in front of the police station at red light) Leave WCC 3:00 p.m. Leave Sylva 4:45 p.m. Leave WCC 6:45 p.m. Leave Sylva 9:30 p.m. Leave WCC 9:50 p.m. Leave Sylva 11:30 p.m.
