Apps Primed For Cats See Page 4 ©tajjtftstern Carolinian "Voice of the Students" Chad Mitchell Trio Due In February See Page 3 VOL. XXIX, NO. 13 Friday, January 17, 1964 Cullowhee, N. C. Gubernatorial Race Candidates Favor The Communist Ban WCC Alumnus Bobo Burleson Is Minor Candidate In Contest North Carolina's three major candidates for the Democratic party's gubernatorial nomination, which is tantamount to election in this state, have expressed opinions in favor of the "Red Ban" Bill that Western Carolina College students have been protesting since early this quarter. L. Richardson Preyer, Dan K. Moore, and I. Beverly Lake, who are considered to be the leading candidates in the 1964 governor's race, have all issued statements in support of the bill which was pushed through by some swift political maneuvers in the final days of the 1963 General Assembly. It was designed to outlaw the appearance at North Carolina colleges of speakers who were known Communists or who had used the Fifth Amendment when questioned about Communist activities. The Western Carolina College Student Senate went on record as opposing the bill at a meeting on October 7. Recognizing that the bill was "a direct insult to the intelligence of a college student and very undemocratic in nature," the student representatives passed the resolution without a dissenting vote. The Carolinian had joined newspapers throughout the state in opposing the ban explaining in the editorial of September 20 that it "betrays a lack of confidence, on the part of the General Assem bly, in these institutions and the people who are part of them." Former Superior Court Judge Moore, who has a Western Carolina College student committee in his behalf, was the first to come out for the bill. He felt that the ban was beneficial but that the bill itself needed a- mending to avoid the legal issues. Former Federal Judge Preyer, whose chances, many political observors feel, have been greatly hurt by pro-communist accusations, stated that he too was in favor of an amended bill. Dr. I. Beverly Lake, who ran on a segregationist plaform in 1960, has expressed complete approval of the speaker ban as it presently exists. A number of students have expressed their disappointment that not one of the major candidates dissented against the bill. There is, however, one minor, candidate, Western Carolina College graduate "Bozo" Burleson, class of 1951, who has opposed the bill. Burleson, former champion heavyweight wrestler who is remembered at Western Carolina College for his humorous antics on the mats, said he did not see any necessity for the bill since communists would be outlawed by his platform anyway. He opposed the speaker ban bill along with his opposition to tariffs, taxes, and tattooing. News Briefs Campus Police Are Deputized, Class Meetings Slated Jan. 29 Two Men Added To Police Force The Western Carolina Campus police force, recently increased to five members, has been deputized by the Jackson County Sheriff's Office. The five members making up the force are Carl Hopkins, Fred Bumgarner, Luther Coggins, College Engineer Eugene Pettit, and assistant Engineer George Crawford Jr. The first three men mentioned had possessed police authority only while on campus until their deputization. According to Dr. Quinn Constantz, head of the Health and Safety Department at Western, the deputization of the campus policemen was "for more complete protection of the college family."

Best Dressed College Girls Win Prizes "I like New York in June, How about you?" could well be the theme song for the winners of GLAMOUR magazine's 1964 "Ten Best Dressed College Girls in America" contest. For a glimpse of what's to come, here, a sampling of high- Igihts from the '63 winners' prize June visit in New York with GLAMOUR. First highlight: GLAMOUR'S annual College Fashion Show, starring the "Ten Best Dressed." The show was held at Carnegie Hall and presented the newest campus fashions to an audience of more than 1500 leading members of the fashion industry. The key word to the visit was variety—the endless variety of culture, entertainment, fashion, and business that only New York can offer—from the Museum of Modern Art to dinner aboard a Chinese junk; from a tour of the United Nations to a tour of a top advertising agency; from cocktails at the elegant new Regency Hotel to a wine- tasting party aboard a boat circling Manhattan; from tea With Madame Helena Rubinstein in her art-filled penthouse to a swimming party on top of the Midtown Motor Inn. The winners went behind the scenes of famous fashion houses, went backstage to meet the stars of "How to Succeed in Business." Variety was the key word, too, for the profusion of gifts they received nearly everywhere they visited: watches from Sheffield; Rugby sweaters, modeled in the fashion show, from Smartee; rings from Coro; pewter tankards embellised with their college crests from Dawson's English Pub; their choice of a coat or suit from Finger and Rabiner. They went tea dancing as Elizabeth Arden's guests at her Blue Grass party; famous photographer, Milton Greene, captured them on film for the New York edition of LIFE; Mr. Kenneth restyled their hair. No two years are ever the same and the contest prizes vary with infinite variety. The delighted '63 winners discovered at a surprise drawing that each was to receive a different trip to some part of the globe during the year and that each trip would be featured in an issue of GLAMOUR. We cannot promise all that's in store for the 1964 winners but we do anticipate exciting experiences to enjoy, new friends to make, and wonderful memories to cherish for a lifetime. We do know that the winners will fly to New York via American Airlines, will stay at the Barclay Hotel and that they will be , photorgaphed in the spring at a yet-to-be-disclosed location for the August, 1964 College Issue of GLAMOUR.

Results Given In Carolinian Opinion Poll The results of the recent poll, conducted by the Western Carolinian regarding the question of the effectiveness of the newspaper in fulfilling its role as a reflection of campus opinion and thought, were tabulated earlier this week. The survey revealed that a majority of the readers who answered the questionnaire considered the Carolinian effective in its function and purpose. Thirty-one readers responded to the questionaire. Although this number was small, the participants held varied opinions on each question. Of the 23 students participating, ten felt the newspaper to be "one of several important activities;" six regarded it as "the most important student activity on campus;" six considered it "second in importance" to various activities, such as the Catamount or sports; and one felt the Carolinian to be of "middling importance." Twenty-one of the students considered the editorial opinion to be "generally respected and iroved by the student body;" one regarded them "only somewhat influential in leading student opinion;" and one stated that "they formed student opinion." Opinion among the five faculty participants also varied. Two felt the Carolinian to be "something to be supported wholeheartedly;" two considered it "something with usefulness out-weighing disadvantages;" and one regarded it "a toss-up in terms of being worthy of support." The Western Carolinian was considered "a generally useful instrument in meeting the school's objectives," by all three of the administration officials participating. Executives, College Personnel To Discuss Details In March Charles D. Hawkins, Navy Honorman Hawkins Wins Naval Honors C. D. Hawkins, who graduated from Western Carolina College in 1959 with majors in mathematics and science, received an award as Honorman at his graduation exercises from Recruit Training Command at the United States Naval Training Center in Great Lakes, Illinois. Hawkins was selected for the honor on the basis of his performance In leadership, sportsmanship, military bearing, initiative, response to order, general cleanliness, qualifications of a good shipmate, and high scholastic standing. The United States Navy has sent a complimentary copy of the Recruit Training Yearbook to the library. Hawkins is to be transferred to Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island, during February. Originally from Murphy, Hawkins has taught in Thomasville, Murphy, and Sylva- Webster. He received the Master's degree from Western Carolina College in 1963. He is married to the former Betty Lovingood, a Home Economics major at Western Carolina College. Plans are underway now for expansion of the newest feature of WCCs Summer School, that of workshops sponsored by business and industrial associations. Professor W. B. Harrill, summer school director, said this program began last summer with one economics workshop for teachers, which was sponsored by Central Piedmont Industries, Inc., of Charlotte. Results were so favorably received that CPI and several other regional associations wished to take part again this year. Now in the planning stage is a comprehensive, continuing curriculum, which is expected to cover many aspects of economic endeavor in the future, and will include not only industry's executive personnel, but banks and other commercial enterprises. Basic plans are laid in three major categories: (1) orientation and informational courses for teachers, ministers, statesmen, and others who find it necessary to have a working knowlege of the economic structure; (2) seeking solutions to problems in the southeast, for top management personnel; and (3) utilitarian courses in development of management for the middle and lower levels of management. Last week-end a meeting was held in Charlotte to discuss plans for the coming summer, attended by association delegates from different areas of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, and the following from WCC: Mr. Harrill, Dr. D. C. Sossomon, Dr. Floyd Cunningham, Mr. Ned Tucker, and Mrs. Lillian Hirt. Harry W. Clarke of Asheville, president of Western Carolina Industries, presided and will serve as liaison between the college and the industrial associ ations. For the immediate future, the group completed plans for two workshops for high school teachers, for which the dates will be announced later. August 10-21 was set as the date for a new workshop, which will be developed on lines commensurate with the needs of industrial executive personnel. Other facets of the broader program will be considered during a three-day seminar to be held in mid-May at WCC. Attending this meeting will be executives of industries and industrial associations, who will study with college personnel the needs to be met in future workshops and seminars. A slate of top-notch speakers and consultants will be present for the three-day session, which will be planed around a theme of "Changing Business and Indus- tria Environment in the Southeast." Meanwhile, the industrial executives and college personnel will meet here on March 4 to work out the details of the seminar. Mr. Tucker is serving as coordinator. Professor Harrill, Dr. Sossomon, and Dr. Cunningham were all enthusiastic in their apraisal of the program's potential. They said it was ineniionec'T s& the Charlotte meeting that no other college or institution in this region is serving such a function, and feel that it is a distinction to have WCC chosen as the college through which such training will be offered. Poetry Discussed In English Seminar The Student English Seminar held its monthly meeting Monday, January 13, at 7:30 p.m. in the Faculty Lounge of Hunter Library. Vice-President Joan Burnett took charge of the meeting in the absence of Seminar President Bob Abbott. The program consisted of listing to recorded reading of poems by Robert Frost, T. S. Elliot, Marrianne Moore, and Edna St. Vincent Milley. A discussion was held as to the merits of each individual poem and the quality of the reading. Later in the evening, the Seminar debated the question "Is poetry today at a standstill?" German Club Sees Slides At Meeting A program consisting of slides on Hessia and of recorded German music was presented by Hans Borov, vice-president of the German Club, at its regular meeting last Wednesday evening in the Staff Lounge of Hunter Library. Following the program, there was an informal party provided by the club sponsor, Mr. William Herlinger, at which new members were welcomed into the club. The meeting Borov announced that Dean Marian Renfro, chairman of the subcommittee which approves the formation of new organizations, had stated that the constitution for the German Club has been approved by the sub-committee. This makes It fairly certain that It will receive the approval of the regular committee, he added. The meeting next Wednesday is to include a program conducted by MacArthur DeHart, a freshman German student, on certain areas of German music.

We hope to have an hour of "different" entertainment. We would like all those who wish to take part in the entertainment program to pick up an entry blank at WWOO or the Senate Office in Joyner. But even if you have no talent to offer we hope everyone will support the March of Dimes by attending the Variety Show."

Library Adds Card Volumes A notable addition has recently been added to the already extensive collection of reference books in Hunter Library in the form of the Library of Congress Card Catalogues, Mrs. Lilian Buchanan said early this week. The catalogues, intended for reference use by both students and faculty, are presently located on the main floor of the library in front of the glass partition that divides the library offices from the main floor of the building. Mrs. Buchanan, Head Librarian, said that although the library has had the need for these catalogues for quite some time, only this year have the appropriations permitted such a purchase. The collection of card catalogues presently in the library were procured at a total expenditure of $4,327.75. This price Includes a number of books which remain outstanding on the recent order. The collection of volumes that the library now has does not constitute the entire set of catalogues, either, for some of the books are not presently available. The Library of Congress Card Catalogues are valuable as reference works, for they contain photographic reproductions of author cards for every published material copyrighted by the U.S. Government. The entries are compiled alphabetically and are divided into subject and author sets. Mrs. Buchanan stated that the collection would be kept up to date at the cost of between $500 and $600 a year. She said "This collection of catalogues is certainly a wonderful addition to our library; they will surely prove helpful to anyone who uses them!" Dance Slated The Men's and Women's House Governments of Western Carolina College are sponsoring a dance the night of Friday, January 24. The dance will be held in Brown Cafeteria from 8:30 until 11:30 and music will be furnished by the Delacardos.

The Western Carolinian is Western Carolina University’s student-run newspaper. The paper was published as the Cullowhee Yodel from 1924 to 1931 before changing its name to The Western Carolinian in 1933.
