  • THEWESEE OLJJMAN VOL. XXX, NO. 7 Friday, October 23, 1964 CULLOWHEE, N. C. Debaters Tie Recent Tournament The Varsity and Novice Debate Teams of Western Carolina College officially opened the 1964-65 season on Tuesday, October 20, by hosting a Practice Debate Tournament with Gardner Webb College. In the first intercollegiate action for both schools this year, the teams battled to a draw in two rounds. In the first round Bill Up- church and Bobby Wilson of the WCC Varsity Affirmative Team faced Brenda Dula and Tony Darnell, Gardner Webb negative debators. The judges, Ronald F. Fisk of the Department of Social Science and Richard Peake of the Department of English, split their votes for the teams. In the second debate of this round the judges, Gentry Crisp, WCC Debate Coach, and Frank Mature of the Department of Modern Foreign Languages, also brought in a tie decision. The participants in this contest Included Pollyanna Hester and Amanda Jenkins, Gardner Webb affirmative debaters and Bill Mueller and Betty Sprung of the WCC Varsity Negative Team. The second round brought one clear cut decision for each school. In the first debate Kathy Abbott and Linda Nichols of the WCC Novice Affirmative Team were defeated by John Logan and Darnell for Gardner Webb. But WCC retaliated with a victory by Brownie Mullis and Jim Chappelle of the Novice Negative Team over Miss Hester and Miss Jenkins of Gardner Webb for the affirmative. Judges for this round included William Dedmond, the Debate Coach for Gardner Webb College, Crisp, and Mature The topic for debate was the National Collegiate Debate Query for 1964-65, "Resolved that the Federal Government should establish a national program of public work for the unemployed." The WCC Debate Club Researchers served as official time keepers for the tournament. Following the second round, a brief social hour was held to give the teams an opportunity to become better acquainted. Debate Club President Bill Upchurch stated that the team members were encouraged by the showing WCC made in its first intercollegiate debate this year. Inexperience is the main weakness of the WCC debaters; only one has participated in previous intercollegiate action. The WCC Debate Teams will travel to Maryville College in Maryville, Tennessee, tomorrow for an Intercollegiate Novice Debate Tournament.

Bob Clontz, Wayne Nance, and Ralph Murdock, living in a college approved dwelling in Webster, were found guilty on this charge and suspended for the remainder of fall quarter. In an interview with Dean of Men, Dr. Cecil Cosper, Dr. Cos- per said that Dean of Student Affairs Taylor Huskins had received an anonymous phone call concerning the students mentioned above. On this basis the two proceeded in Huskin's car, to the boys' apartment in Webster on Thursday, September 23, to "observe some things in the house." Arriving at the house, the two deans were mei door by Murdock, who upon Huskin's request, invited them in. Cosper said that during the process of "observing" inside the apartment, alcoholic beverages were found. Aside from this, the house was found to be in a clean and orderly condition. The three men involved appeared before the Student-Faculty Judiciary Committee on October 6 and October 13, to answer the charge mentioned above. During the lapse of time between the two meetings of the SFJC, the case was referred to the Executive Committee who in return referred it back to the SFJC. The origin of the authority the administration carries over off-campus dwellings, according to Dr. D. C. Sossomon, Acting Dean of the college, is the legislation passed in the North Carolina General Assembly in 1957, placing, among other things, responsibility for discipline of students in the hands of the administration of a state institution. On Friday, October 16, the three suspended students were asked to return to campus for the purpose of questioning in regard to the student publication that appeared on campus Thursday morning. This publication stated "Let your opinion be known this Saturday when it can be heard," leading the administrative officials to believe that the suspended students may have been responsible for it. According to Cosper, attorney Zebulon Alley of Waynesville, who was in the area, was also asked to come to the school to discuss the problem, since he was, at the time, their legal counsel. Although rumors concerning a restraining order have been prevalent, due to the Jackson County sheriff's appearance on campus at the same time but for a different reason, administrative and other reliable sources said that no restraining order was issued. At press time Tuesday night, no further action had been taken. This and other cases led the Carolinian staff to make inquiries concerning the procedures of the SFJC. Pertaining to legal counsel, Acting Dean D. C. Sossomon said that such was not permitted at the hearing since "this is not a court, but a committee hearing." When asked whether each charge must be judged before a new charge is lodged, Sossomon said, "Yes, in theory, but not in practice." In a question presented to Dr. Cosper as the formal presentation of charges in writing, Cosper said, "Yes, charges are made in writing and the Committee reserves the right to its dis- cretion." Cosp a, how ever, that to his knowledge, charges have never been changed to give more serious implications that the original ones. Acting Dean Sossomon said in answer to a question regarding the channels of appeal, that appeals could go to the Executive Committee or in practice, the President of the College as he is ex-officio chairman. However, additional pertinent information must be supplied by the student and approved by the SFJC before such an appeal is granted. Dr. Sossomon stated that a student could not appeal to the Board of Trustees due to the fact that the Bjard serves a legislative and not a judicial function in regard to the school. Jonathan Woody, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, replied, "I wouldn't want to comment on that," when asked if an appeal by a student could be made to the Board, Woody gave the same answer when asked for an opinion on the case cited above. In a statement by Dr. John B. Bennett, Acting Assistant to the acting dean, he said, "the . . . alcohol problem .... is an ill-resolved problem in most colleges which take their responsibilities to students seriously," implying that this problem is "ill-resolved" at W.C.C. APOLOGY The story "Isolation Affected College" on page 5 of the October 16th issue of the Western Carolinian was especially written for the Carolinian by Dr. W. E. Bird, President Emeritus of the college. Dr. Bird should have been given a by-line for his fine and vital article. Due to a printer's mistake he did not. For this we apologize.
