  • The Academic Challenge Another step the college of the future might take to assure that it adequately fulfills its role as teacher in the coming years would be to take advantage of an apparent increase among students in "genuine" learning. For the majority of today's college students the necessity of "hitting the books" is all too apparent. It is now, in view of current pressures, a case of "sink or swim," although in far too many instances, many people prefer to merely float. But to those students who take this matter of education seriously, the college of the future bears a tremendous responsibility. It must give these students the challenge they expect from higher education. Some colleges have yet to begin to make the first important moves toward this responsibility. These institutions sometimes fail to realize the necessity of honors programs for superior students who chafe under the lack of real challenge that faces them through four years of study. They often overlook the advantage, even the necessity, of required courses in Logic and Ethics as prerequisite to intelligent study and sound learning. Again they often ignore the need for comprehensive examinations and major-field-of-study orals as degree requirements. Some even fail to provide their students with a "reading day" prior to examinations. These and other oversights or omissions should give an institution of higher learning pause, to consider whether or not it is really facing up to the responsibilities it is called upon to shoulder as a citadel of learning. This is a challenge it must face up to. To ignore or even overlook this challenge would be to fail both itself and the society of which it is a part. AJobHalf-Done On Sunday, March 15, in accordance with the constitution of the Western Carolina College Pre-Session Conference, a second meeting of this conference will be held to "investigate the actions taken on Pre-Session recommendations and to extend the spirit and purpose of the first conference." The second meeting, in other words, is being called to find out what hapened to the first. A lot of constructive recommendations came out of this year's conference. Since September the Senate Ways and Means Committee has been bringing them to the attention of the administration for action or reaction. The conference needs, however, the support of all its delegates. The job was only half-done last September. It has to be finished next month.

Moore as he brought his fight for the governor's office back home to his native mountains. "I have come back to report to you that the campaign is going well, and we are going to win," he told his supporters as they gathered in their county court houses by the hundreds to hear their favorite son. They were poor people gathered at Robbinsville, Andrews, Murphy, Franklin, Sylva; a coat and tie was out of place. But they were people who live and love their politics. They were proud of By Neal Evans their boy, the representative they sent to the legislature, the solicitor they sent to court, and the judge they sent to the bencn. And now they want to send him to the governor's mansion. They have waited a long time for their chance. There has never been a governor from west of Buncombe County. Now the most qualified of the candidates, Dan K. Moore, is in the race to stay, and the far western counties are not going to let their boy down. It has been a long campaign and it is far from over. Three major candidates are out to capture the prize. I. Beverly Student Governmeni Pre-Session Conference-!938, 1940 The following is a list of recommendations concerning the use of the Student Union: 1. That the clause in the present regulations prohibiting "jitterbugging" be struck out. 2. That dancing be permitted during lunch hour for all students. 3. That the enforcement of the "no smoking" rule be emphasized. 4. That the reception room be kept quiet from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. 5. That singing and games be permitted in reception room after 2 p.m. 6. That dating be allowed on Sunday evening as well as Saturday evening. 7. That an effort be made to secure a radio for the building. Suggested that the same group that compose the pre- session conference have a meeting once a quarter in order to discuss problems of a constructive nature. Suggested that the president of the student body call a meeting of sophomores, juniors and seniors as soon as possible after the fall registration to enlist their cooperation in achieving higher moral and ethical standards. That the Student Senate continue the policy of checking undesirable students at the end of each quarter. That the curriculum committee make a careful study of their set-up for the purpose of considering a five- day school week. By Gerald Holder That the college administration investigate the feasa- bility of buying a printing press for both college and student use. That two chapel periods be set aside each quarter for meetings of the house governments and day student government, that the roll be called at these meetings, and that the secretaries turn in all absences to the college office as chapel absences. That the college ask the State Budget Committee for a laundry on campus. Social Problems From The Standpoint Of The Faculty 1. Students to be more interested in available cultural programs. 2. Keeping the campus clean. 3. Greater care in using college property. 4. Self-discipline among the students in matters of health. 5. Proper dress. 6. Learning to sing songs well as a group in chapel. The preceding was a sample of suggestions and recommendations made at the the 1938 and 1940 Pre-Session Conferences. The 1940 conference was not held until November of that year for an unknown reason. From these, one can see that some of our modern problems were also problems of the past. Some of these recommendations have long since been carried out; others, like many of our own, have fallen by the wayside. Lake, an arch-segregationist who was defeated in the 1960 primary by Terry Sanford, L. Richardson Preyer, San- ford's second choice as a successor, and Moore. The first two have come to realization that Moore is the man to defeat if they expect to win. If the mountain candidate is not beaten in the first primary, it is certain that he will win the second by gaining all the votes of the third place candidate. So Lake and Preyer are taking aim at Moore. He is not a vulnerable target, though. His qualifications are far ahead of those of either of the other two candidates. He has had more political and government experience. Neither Lake nor Preyer have ever held elective office. Moore, on the other hand, has served as State Representative, District Solicitor and Superior Court Judge, all elected positions, and he has never been defeated. For the past seven years he has been General Counsel for Champion Paper Company in Canton. This business experience cannot be matched. Moore has represented his political party from the precinct level to the national convention while Preyer had never been to a precinct meeting up until this year and Lake's first political experience came as a losing gubernatorial candidate in 1960. Moore has a number of other factors in his favor. North Carolina has never taken a liking to electing losers. Lake has already lost once. And in recent years the state has shunned hand-picked successors. Kerr Scott and Luther Hodges both failed in this endeavor. Moore has strong support from people throughout the state who are fed up with the Sanford administration and also do not want to see a Ross Barnett in the governor's mansion. He has the support of most of the state employees, a large bloc of political activists who control a lot of votes. Senator Sam Erwin, North Carolina's popular senior Senator, and a number of congressmen have risked their reputations on Moore's candidacy. The campaign is going well. His friends in the mountains need have no qualms. Their boy is going to be in the state house in Raleigh come January 1965.
