  • TheWESTERNCAROLINIAN The Voice of the Students VOL. XXX, NO. 19 Friday, April 2, 1965 CULLOWHEE, N. C. Cabe, West To Run For Student Body President Paul Cabe Elections for president and vice-president of the student body at Western Carolina College will be held Wednesday, April 7, at the main entrance of Stillwell Building. At press time Tuesday night two candidates had filed for each office; Paul Cabe and Dan West are running for president, while Chet Gatlin and Buz Helms constitute the vice-presidential race. Cabe, a junior English and History major from Franklin, North Carolina, has been active in student government during his two years at WCC. A transfer student who spent his freshman year at Florida Presbyterian College in St. Petersburg, Fla., Cabe has spent his sophomre and junior years here. During the 1964-65 academic year, his participation in student government has included chairmanship of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, membership on the Student Appropriations Committee, Men's House Government, Standards Committee, President's Committee on Student Patricipation in Standing Faculty Committees. He is chairman of the May Day Central Committee, organizational president of Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity, a member of Delta Sigma Phi fraternity, and a dorm- Dan West itory councilor in Buchanan. A junior Political Science and Sociology major from High Point, North Carolina, West has participated in student government and class functions here at WCC. A sophomore councilor in Madison, he continued in this capacity during Fall quarter of this year. West has been the junior class treasurer this year and was the secretary of Theta Xi fraternity for two years. His plans after graduation include graduate school. Concerning the current state of student government and the upcoming elections next Wednesday, Cabe said, "I want to express my appreciation to the members of this year's Student Senate for their conscientious efforts which have resulted in improved cultural, social, and community development here at WCC. I feel that our successes are evident; however, if we are to achieve our ultimate aims as outlined in this year's student government work, we must continue to advance in these areas already opened. Students, I propose to continue this journey which we have initiated. I do not desire to see our achievements revert to inaction. We must have active student gov- —Continued on Page 8 Alcohol Policy Discussed Radio Forums Sponsored By Senate Here The first of a series of radio forums to be sponsored by the Student Senate was held Thursday, March 25, from 9:30 to 10:00 p.m. This program, carried on Western Carolina College radio WWOO, is intended to stimulate student interest by dealing with campus events ol current interest. It is under the direction of senator Joel Mashburn and the panel is composed of interested students and administrative personnel. Thursday's program dealt with the forthcoming expansion of WCC, as well as the requested improvements under the new budget, and featured Paul Cabe and J. F. Kirkpatrick, business manager of the college. Items under expansion listed by the panel were the two new dormitories presently under construction and an adjoining cafeteria, which is expected to be started in the immediate future. Also mentioned were expansion of the present laundry and steam plant facilities, to be achieved through use of the college's own funds. Proposed construction of a new Student Union was also brought up. The panel also discussed the items which are now pending before the Appropriations Committee of the General Assembly. These include an expansion of Reid gymnasium, a business and educational building, a central warehouse, and expansion of Byrd Building. This week the program will deal with plans to enlarge the college laundry. Joe Liner, laundry manager, will be interviewed. Any interested students wishing to participate should see Joel Mashburn. SFJC Submits Revision Of Rulings To Policies Committee Due to this year's policy on alcohol, under which every student involved is subject to im- mediate .suspension, the Student- Faculty Judiciary Committee at Western Carolina College has submitted a revised ruling to the Policies Committee for consideration. This year's policy, as stated in the 1964-65 Student Handbook, reads as follows, "Students shall neither bring, possess, transport, sell, nor consume alcoholic beverages on the campus at Western Carolina College," and applies to any student on or off campus who is representing the college. Violation of this policy has resulted in all cases in immediate suspension for one quarter, as also stipulated, in the handbook. This ruling has been the subject of much controversy on the part of both students and faculty, and the Carolinian has run articles throughout the year on policies, opinions, and the many problems met by the SFJC in dealing with the dictated suspension called for in the handbook. Student resentment of the policy was noted earlier in the academic year when more than 900 students signed a petition stating that the policy was unjust and lacked fair consideration to all students. These many protests against the ruling on the part of students and other interested persons indicated that what the students wanted was a policy under which the offender would be judged on the severity of the violation, depending on ihe nature and degree of the offense. After the petition asking for a revision was circulated and signed, Bill Melton, president of the student body, and other student leaders, as well as Dean of Women Marion Renfro, undertook an investigation of the problem. Student 2nd Western Carolina College Cafeteria To Cost $715,000 PICTURED ABOVE IS THE ARCHITECT'S CON- ception of the new cafeteria to be built here beginning immediately. Bids totalling $715,955 have already been let for the new cafeteria, which is to adjoin the two dormitories presently under construction. Groundwork is expected to begin within the next few days and completion date is set for July, 1966. The building is designed to seat 800 at one time. Architectural service is by Six Associates, Inc. of Asheville. This cafeteria falls under the present expansion program which includes dormitory construction and a new Student Union building. (Photo courtesy of the Asheville- Citizen.) handbooks from other schools in the area were obtained and checked for their provisions on alcoholic offenses and individuals were interivewed. In short, the policy was thoroughly analyzed for any faults it might have. As the result of two quarters work the SFJC recently called a meeting to discuss a possible solution to the problem. At this meeting Melton presented each member with a copy of a proposed letter to the Policies Committee containing possible solutions. The Student-Faculty Judiciary Committee however, felt that the groundwork for such a proposal should begin with the SFJC itself rather than individuals within the committee, since the SFJC has a greater involvement with the problem. At the SFJC's second meeting to discuss the alcohol problem, the Committee reached the decision to recommend a revision to the Policies Committee. The recommendation stated that the minimum of one quarter's suspension for alcoholic involvement should be removed from the ruling on alcohol. The SFJC, in making this suggestion, felt that the students wanted a policy under which the severity of the individual offense could be taken into account, thereby eliminating a mandatory dictated suspension in a great many cases. Such elimination of a minimum suspension is the main point in the new proposal; the full details of the proposed policy revision are not yet known. The Policies Committee will meet at some time between now and the end of the year for consideration of this proposal. Bill Melton, president of the student body, said in regard to the problem,"A major problem this year has been the alcoholic policy under the 1964-65 Student Handbook. Due to the fact that students have shown resentment toward the policy the SFJC has spent many hours debating solutions in individual cases, in spite of the policy of automatic suspension. I feel that the new policy, if approved, will be better for all students and that the SFJC will be able to administer fair penalties to all concerned. "The student body must realize that this is not yet the new policy but only a recommendation. It is hoped that the Policies Committee will realize the problems we have been confronted with this year and will give consideration to the suggested policy." Average education level of farm laborers has not improved over the last 20 years. In the South, hired farm workers have completed an average of seven years of school, compared with an average of almost nine years completed by workers outside the South.
