  • THE WESEE OLEN1AN VOL. XXX, NO. 1 Friday, September 11, 1964 CULLOWHEE, N. C. New Policy On Drinking Is Defined Several new regulations concerning the use of alcoholic beverages at Western Carolina were adopted at a meeting of the Policies Committee on July 27. The new policy, which has been incorporated into the 1964-65 Student Handbook, states the following rules: GENERAL POLICY: The College reserves the right at all times to dismiss or to decline to register any student whose social and moral behavior, whether on or., off the campus, is such as may be considered injurious to the College. REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE USE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES: Students shall neither bring, possess, transport, sell nor consume alcoholic beverages on the campus at Western Carolina College. This rule applies to all students, on all college owned property, and at all college sponsored and/ or participating events either on or away from the campus. Violation of any of the above will result in immediate suspension from the College. The parents and/or guardians will be notified of any disciplinary action taken by the deans, or disciplinary committees, and and this action shall be recorded on the student's personnel record. SPECIFICS: 1. One who uses intoxicating beverages on campus or off campus at any College sponsored or participating social or recreational affair will be suspended for at least one quarter. 2. Any student who Is guilty of driving on the campus while under the influence, to any degree, of an intoxicating beverage will be suspended for at least one quarter. 3. A student who has an ordor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath while on campus and conducts himself in a loud and disorderly way will be subject to disciplinary action. After the policy had been presented to the delegates of the 1964 Pre-Session Conference by Taylor Huskins, Dean of Student Affairs, the Conference voted to "extend a vote of confidence from the campus leaders and Pre-Session Conference members to the Policies Committee on these recently adopted rules concerning alcohol on the WCC campus." Conference Report Made Expansion Funds Requested; Two Dorms To Be Built Soon Welcome Transfers While construction is underway on the addition to Brown Cafeteria, plans are rapidly nearing completion for the two new dormitories to be built near Reid Gymnasium. Bids for general construction, plumbing, heating and ventilation, electrical, and other work will be accepted beginning at 2:30 p.m., September 30. The Community Facilities Administration in Washington, with the approval of New York bond attorneys, has sanctioned a housing loan of $2,200,000 to cover all costs. The two dormitories, each housing 400 students, are part of a six million dollar capital improvements expansion program which was approved by the 1963 North Carolina Genreal Assembly, although not directly appropriated. Approximately three of the six million dollars has been made available on a self-liquidating basis, including the money for the new dormitories. Other plans included in the present expansion program are a new one million dollar student center and a second cafeteria. While construction and planning is underway using the funds appropriated and/or approved for loans by the 1963 General Assembly, the North Carolina Advisory Budget Commission is considering for presentation to the 1965 General Assembly the recomendations for further capital improvements made by the Board of Trustees of Western Carolina College. Dr. Paul A. Reid, President of the college, told the Commission during their visit to the campus this summer, that an enrollment of four thousand students is expected here within three years. Thirtieth Pre-Session Takes Giant Step Toward Progress A construction budget of $7,- 056,000 was presented for 1965- 67 in order to expand sufficiently. More than a third of the amount would be spent for two additional dormitories. Dr. Reid told the group that the housing shortage is so acute that more than 2,000 applications has been received for entrance into this year's Freshman class, of which only 475 can be accommodated on campus. Of the 1,452 students which met admission requirements, nearly one thousand had to be refused due to lack of space, even though off-campus housing is being utilized to the fullest extent. The remainder of the total budget request was classified as follows: home economics, fine arts, and music building, $1,736,- 000; addition to physical education facilities, $860,000; building for exapnding business department, $840,000; addition to education and psychology building to accommodate speech, hearing, and language disorders clinics, $540,000; addition to administration building, 198,000; renovation of Hoey Auditiorium, $50,000; pipe organ, $55,000; warehouse, $40,000; walks, drives and landscaping, $50,000; extension of power service, $50,000. This amount is to be considered by the General Assembly when they meet in February of next year, while on Tuesday of next week a hearing will be held in Raleigh to review WCCs projected operating budget for next year. More than 73 million Americans live in counties which have iron and/or steel plants. The thirtieth annual Western | Carolina College Pre-Session I Conference broke with tradition last week as it passed several far-reaching recommendations and opened the 1964-65 academic year with a spirited effort to move the entire college into a phase of over-all development to keep pace with its physical growth. Approximately seventy representative student leaders met with administration and faculty representatives during the three-day conference from Thursday, September 3 to Saturday, September 5. Included among the delegates were officers and senators of the student government, officers of the various campus organizations, and student counselors. Dr. Paul A. Reid, President of the college, and the academic and social Deans also took an active part in the conference. The conference delegates based their work on an over-all theme of "Imagination, Inita- tive, and Incentive Equal Progress." Student Body President Bill Melton stressed the importance of individual initiative in bringing about development and progress in Student Government in a keynote address at the Thursday morning session. An innovation in this year's conference was the delegation of each session to a particular aspect of the over-all theme in relation to a particular section of student life. Featured speakers included Dr. Cecil Cosper, Dean of Men, and Steve George, Vice- President of the Student Body, on the topic, "College and Community Relations — Today and Tomorrow;" Marian Renfro, Dean of Women, and Buzz Helms, "The College Campus — Broadening Social and Cultural Activities;" Dr. D. C. Sossomon, Dean of Instruction, and Bill Smith, Editor of the Western Carolinian, "The College Campus — Increasing Academic Opportunities;" and Rocky John- PICTURED HERE IS AN ARCHITECT'S drawing of one of the two new X-shaped dormitories scheduled for construction soon. The Community Facilities Administration in Washington has approved a housing loan of $2,200,000 to cover the cost. Both dormitories will be of the same design, and each will house four hundred students. They are to be built In the open field near Reid Gymnasium, a part of the Brown farm which the college purchased some years ago. These dormitories are a part of the six million dollar expansion program which was approved by the 1963 General Assembly, although not directly appropriated. The Legislature authorized the college to borrow this money for construction on a self-liquidating basis. BILL MELTON, Student Body President son, Student Senator, "Progress and The Student Government — Past, Present, and Future." Following the keynote speeches each session, the conference committees drafted recommendations to the entire assembly. These suggestions were then turned over to a Recommendations Committee which edited them and returned them to the final session of the conference for approval or rejection. The final session, which saw heated debate on several recommendations, made a breakthrough for progress in its stress on concrete ideas and suggestions in all phases of student life. Recommendations, such as those dealing with community development, extension of cultural and social activities at WCC, and the establishment of an honor system on campus, brought out the sinccity of the students in seeing the entire college and college community keep pace with its physical growth. The 1964 Pre-Session Conference closed with a banquet, held in Brown Cafeteria Saturday evening. A complete listing of the Recommendations and Suggestions of the 1964 Pre-Session Conference may be found on page 4 of this issue of the Western Carolinian. Welcome Freshmen
