  • PAGE 8 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1964 Young Republicans Make Revisions In Constitution A revised Constitution, prepared by the Executive Board, was ratified by the Western Carolina College Young Repub- Tour Of IBM Facilities Held A tour of the IBM facilities was repeated today in order that those people who were unable to attend the Open House program at the computer center January 31 could have the opportunity to observe the computer in operation and learn more about WCCs computer system. According to Michael Kennedy, who is in charge of the half-million dollar college computer operation, the tour corresponded to the Open House demonstration, but was on a more informal basis. Essentially the same demonstrations that were presented at the Open House were presented today. The IBM 1620 and its auxiliary machines: the card punch, interpreter, sorter, collator, and reproducing machine were all on display during the tour. Faculty members and some of the more than 200 students enrolled in computer courses fed programs worked out by themselves to the machine to demonstrate the speed and efficiency of a computer. Several instructors arranged to bring classes for a tour of the operations. Kennedy stated the many interested students and faculty members participated in the tour.

For the past three years, Delta Zeta has won the campus Greek Scholastic Trophy with an over-all average of 2.7. Theta Iota is one of the few chapters of Delta Zeta's 159 chapters to receive this honor.

The Constitution will be presented to the Student Activities Committee for final approval within the next few days, President Bob Gillespie announced. Gillespie stated that several ambiguities in the wording of the previous Constitution made revision necessary. The new Constitution not only clarifies these ambiguities, but has also been up-dated to meet the needs of the club, he added. Also included In the business of this meeting was the election of a Vice President. Dick Davis, a Freshman from Murphy, was elected to this office by acclamation. A resolution that the college organization affiliate with the Young Republican Clubs of North Caroilna was also passed.

Slagle reported that in a keynote address, Young Republican National Chairman Donald "Buzz" Lukens encouraged Republicans in North Carolina to a more vigorous opposition of the policies of the Democratic Party and emphasized the importance of Republican ideals as the standard of the future. Other business included in the convention was the election of state officers for 1964-65, a revision of the state constitution, and progress reports for the past year. Slagle, Gillespie, and Bob Freeman, Western District Liaison Officer, attended this convention.

Lidh Is Recognized Woodcut Wins Second Prize At Winston-Salem Art Exhibit Hyatt Attends Musical Meet In Florida Mr. Aaron Hyatt returned last Sunday night from a three-day meeting in Miami, Florida. The Southern division of the College Band Directors National Association held its semi-annual meeting at the University of Miami. Approximately seventy college band directors from Southern colleges discussed the perennial problems which directors encounter in the music field. The purpose of the organization is to help alleviate difficulties which arise in individual college programs and evaluate new ideas, methods, and proposed systems in instrumental music. "The most advantageous aspect of the meeting," said Hyatt, "was that it provided an opportunity to meet and discuss with successful band directors their programs, how they finance them, and recruit members. The question of music scholarships were discussed, and a thousand other things." Mr. Hyatt said that he attended panels, lectures and concerts. The band and brass ensemble of the University of Miami rendered performances, and the Miami-Dade Junior College also gave a concert. "A subject that always results in a heated discussion is the value of marching bands in a college," stated Hyatt. "I picked up several ideas which I wish to interject in the band program at W.C.C, and since this was the third meeting of the Association I've attended, I managed to learn a lot of vital information about the operations of other institutions." He stated that the National Association itself will I meet in Arizona next year. Prayer Day Is Observed As a part of the observance of Universal Day of Prayer for Students, a joint meeting of the religious clubs on campus was sponsored by the Wesley Foundation last Sunday in the Gallery of Hunter Library. The invocation was pronounced by Reverend Colin Godwin, Baptist Student Union Chaplain. Bill Seegers of the Westminster Fellowship read the Scripture. A call to prayer for students was read by Mary Jo Morgan of Wesley Foundation, followed by a prayer for students by Reverend Victor McGuire, Episcopal minister and counselor of the Canterbury Club. The Wesley Foundation presented a drama, "The Faith Hawker." The cast included Jerry Lance as the Faith Hawker; Bill Culp, Jr., as Donald Alsh; Sondra Wise as Alexandra Drake; Joan Bryson as Marcella Baker; and Marty Frost as the Narrator. The play was under the direction of Jesse Cline and Mrs. A. A. Ferguson War is little more than a catologue of mistakes and misfortunes.—Winston S.

On Commencement weekend In May, when she will graduate, Miss Byrd will be commissioned In special ceremonies on campus. William R. Lidh, assistant professor of art at Western Carolina College, has received a second place award in the 16th semi-annual art exhibit at the Winston-Salem Gallery of Fine Arts. The prize-winning work is a woodcut entitled "Garden of the Psyche," and was purchased by Wake Forest College. Mrs. Katherine Kuh, art editor of The Saturday Review, was judge of the exhibit. From 691 entries Mrs. Kuh selected a total of 188 works by 84 artists in five Southeastern states. In her talk at the opening of the exhibit, Mrs. Kuh said that "a- mong the most interesting work as to subject matter and of the highest quality were the graphic works — the prints — in the show." She said further, "He (Mr. Lidh) exhibited huge woodcuts which were strong in technique, quite remarkable prints. I don't think at this moment we have a highly nationalistic art in America. Nor does any country save, and maybe this tells a lot, the Soviet Union. That print- maker (Mr. Lidh) could have come from anywhere." Lidh holds both the Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the University of Wisconsin and has taught art in the public schools in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Kansas. He came to WCC last Fall from Illinois State University where for the previous six years he taught printmaking, drawing, and art education. Lidh has exhibited his work extensively in regional and state art exhibits. Among his more important shows are those at the Decatur Art Center in Decatur, Illinois; the University Gallery at Illinois State University; and the Premiere Gallery of Sprinfield, Illinois. A group of Lidh's prints is currently on exhibit in the Little Theatre at WCC, and will remain through Saturday, February 22. Resort Offers Ski Training Sugarloaf Mountain, Maine's largest ski resort, has scheduled a special learn-to-ski week for Southern collegians, March 23- 29. J. R. Strunk, executive director of the Sugarloaf Area Association and himself a 1959 graduate of the Virginia Military Institute stated that, "there has been an increasing amount of interest by students to come north to ski rather than going south during Easter vacation. The many smaller ski areas in the South have definitely created an interest and given many people an opportunity to experience winter fun. We at Sugar- loaf can offer top Alpine skiing with our 2600 foot vertical snow- fields and at the same time hope to make it economically feasible for strdents to make the trip. As we have planned it southern skiers can spend a week at Sugarloaf at far less than it would cost in Florida." Dances, dog sled rides and the famed Sugarloaf Easter Parade on skis will also be featured. For information students can write in care of the Sugarloaf Area Association, Inc., Kingfield, Maine.
