  • THEWESH OLHN1AN VOL. XXIX, NO. 19 FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1964 CULLOWHEE, N. C. Scott Talks In Library Tues. P.M. Robert W. Scott, candidate for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor, spoke Tuesday afternoon in the Faculty Lounge of Hunter Library to a large group of students and faculty. Son of the late governor, Kerr Scott, he paused in his swing through the western counties to visit WCC where he met with several administration officials before speaking at the reception. Scott, 34, who is past Master of the North Carolina Grange, is active in civic and education organizations. He has also been a member of the state Conservation and Development Board. A native of Alamance County, he resides in Haw River with his wife and five children. In his campaign for votes in the May 30 Democratic primary, Scott made reference to several topics of immediate interest to WCC students and faculty. As the only major political candi date to oppose the controversial "Red Speaker Ban," he was quick to reaffirm the strong stand he had previously taken on the law. Stating that he did not believe in a "gag law" the candidate said, "The law is unnecessary. There is a law on the books which serves the same purpose. There are limits on academic freedom but the present law imposes more restrictions than it does good. I am in favor of repeal." Offering some new concepts for the now part-time office of lieutenant-governor, Scott proposed that the post be expanded to give it a useful purpose. "A lieutenant-governor," he said, "could travel extensively over the state to give citizens, communities, and counties the opportunity to hear and have contact with a major state official and bring them into contact with state government. He could be a sounding board of public opinion throughout the state." The young campaigner, taking note of the current faculty housing problem at state colleges, stated, "While I believe that private enterprise should provide adequate housing facilities, I think that if private enterprise can not or will not provide such facilities the state should step in. Only, however, if it could do so on a matching basis with federal funds. In Cullowhee we should provide the type of faculty we want and need here at Western Carolina College." Scott's visit was sponsored by the Young Democrats Club. Pre - Session Meets Again Psychology Club To Hold Open House On Tuesday The R. S. Woodworth Psy-' chology Club is sponsoring an "open house" in the gallery of Hunter Library on Tuesday, March 24. Dr. Cecil W. Mann, sponsor of the Woodworth Club, announced that the open house will begin at 3:00 in the afternoon. In the manner of a science fair, the project will be essentially an exhibition of psychological equipment and methods. The theme for the project will be Man and His Abilities. Students majoring In Psychology will demonstrate psychological equipment and techniques which are employed in research and testing programs. With the aid of these displayed devices the students will be able to explain to visitors about man and his sensory abilities, learning abilities, research abilities, and social and industrial abilities, in addition, the observer can gain a clearer insight into mental health and career opportunities in Psychology. The public is invited to act as subjects for brief experiments should they desire to discover how well they learn mazes blindfolded, for example, or how fast they are at reaction time. The purpose of the open house may be stated as follows: It is an attempt to answer questions which puzzle us concerning the nature and importance of Psychology. Just what is Psychology all about? What are the practical applications of Psychology in every-day living? Dr. Mann explained it this way: "The demonstrations are designed to point up," he said, "the main aim of Psychology, which is to develop and study in a scientific manner, the laws of behavior. The psychologists use the best scientific methods at their disposal in order to develop deductively methods of employing these laws in various practical situations." The open house will feature among its exhibits a library, a general information booth, and a film. The entire program is so designed that there will be something of interest and value for everyone. MISS PAULA CROOK AND STEVE ROYAL, PSYCHOL- ogy majors, prepare the title for one of the exhibits to be included in the Psychology Open House to be held in the Gallery of Hunter Library next Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. Following a theme of MAN AND HIS ABILITIES, Psychology majors will demonstrate psychology equipment and techniques employed in research and testing programs for students. Visitors will be given opportunities to serve as subjects for some of the experiments.—(Photo by Don Yarbrough) Action Taken On Suggestions Reported By Senate Group The second meeting of the 1963-64 Pre-Session Conference was held last Sunday afternoon in the Club Room of Joyner Building. The purpose of the second meeting, in accord with the amended Constitution of the Pre-Session Conference, was "to investigate the action taken on Pre - Session recommendations and to extend the spirit and purpose of the Pre-Session Conference." A majority of the delegates to the 1963 Conference, held in September, attended the meeting, at which Student Body Vice-President Ellison Mac- Gruder presided. In an opening address to the Second Conference, Conway Jolly, President of the Student Body, stated that the major accomplishments of the Student Government this year were due to the interest and efforts of the Pre-Session Conference delegates, who had worked to secure the approval of the Pre-Session recommendations. The primary business of the meeting was pursued through reports of various Senate Committees. Following a report by the Lyceum Committee, the delegates questioned the present composition of the Lyceum Committee. At present, the Committee is made up of three students and five faculty members. After some debate, the Conference voted to recommend that there be equal student-faculty representation on the Committee. Another question arose concerning an $11,000 appropriation of student fees by the Board of Trustees of the College. The question, which arose at the first meeting of the Student Appropriations Committee, was referred, at that time, to the Business Manager of the College. President Jolly reported that the matter was still pending and that he expected to have a report after the next meeting of the Student Appropriations Committee. The Standards Committee reported that it had decided to change the name and cover design of the Student Handbook. The handbook is scheduled to go to press as soon as revisions in its content are completed. It will be ready for distribution to the Student Body in September. Reports of the other Senate Committees involved no major changes in policy. Those committees reporting were Cafeteria, Building and Grounds, Campus Awareness, Who's Who, and Health and Safety. The major portion of the meeting was taken up with the report of the Senate Ways and Means Committee which is responsible for securing action on Pre-Session Conference recommendations. Committee Chairman Senator Jim Bumgardner presented the Committee's report revealed that a majority of the recommendations and suggestions of the September Conference had been acted on by the College Administration. Bumgardner pointed out such recent improvements in campus activities and facilities as the broadcasting of all off-campus sporting events this year and the first steps toward a book store in the College Shop. He noted also the $5,000 increase in appropriations which was granted to the Student Union and pointed out that these funds were being held in reserve to purchase necessary equipment for Joyner Building and the proposed new Student Union. Other improvements in campus facilities, noted in the report, include extended Library hours and new weekend schedules for Reid Gym and Joyner Building. The action taken on another recommendation, that of providing a directory for Stillwell Building, was also reported. Bumgardner also pointed to changes in the Student-Faculty Judiciary Committee, involving length of terms for members. Members of this committee will now serve for shorter periods and the terms of membership will be staggered. The Conference recommendations regarding restrictions on women's sportswear and a change in the regulations concerning the consumption of alcoholic beverages were referred to the Policies Committee. That Committee, in turn, referred them to the House Government organizations. These organizations, Bumgardner pointed out, will be responsible for review- these recommendations. Other minor recommendations, it was reported, would be acted upon by the various Senate Committees before the end of the year. Following the meeting, President Jolly stated, "The success of this year's Pre-Session Conference points, I think, to an increased student interest in the affairs of the college. This interest reflected itself in the hard work of the Conference delegates. The success of the Conference was due to their efforts." ELECTION DATE SET. Elections for the offices of President and Vice-President af the Student Body have been announced for Tuesday, April 7, 1964, by the Student Senate. Qualified rising Juniors and Seniors who fulfill the requirements as set forth in the Student Handbook are eligible to run for office by filing with the Student Senate office before 4:00 p.m., Wednesday, April 1.
