  • WESTERN Carol i n ian fhe.Voice of the Students VOL. XXXI, NO. 4 Friday, October 1, 1965 CULLOWHEE, N. C. Radio Station Comments On 'Dress Ban' The following remarks constitute an editorial statement of the college radio station WWOO concerning a recent controversial decision made by State Attorney General Wade Burton and is reprinted here for news value a- lone: Last week, Mr. Wade Burton, the State Attorney General, ruled that "a public school is not a bistro, a joint, or pad where beatniks gather". The uproar over student dress started when Mr. Burton wrote a letter to Mr. Haywood Davis principal of the Joe E. Brown school in Lumberton, N. C. He went on to say, "I am not aware that a public school is a place to display the latest rock and roll and Beatle techniques." With the statement, Mr. Burton placed a flat ban on blue jeans, Bermuda shorts, and so-called Beatle hair cuts in the state's public schools. Now we will agree that there must be in our schools an acceptable mode of dress, especially during the junior and senior year. During this time young persons are developing and there is a definite need for a degree of social conformities in almost every phase of his life. If the young student is left to his own interpretation of society and what is acceptable he will, nine out of ten times, be unable to live in an adult world where certain conformities are absolutely essential for existence. However, what the Attorney General has said is so broad and ambiguous that it could cover 90% of all students. Now what about blue jeans? Mr. Burton says hence forth they are unacceptable in the classrooms. Are we to forget, also, that North Carolina is an agricultural state and that blue jeans are all that some families can afford for their children, besides, blue jeans have been in our society long before Mr. Burton thought about joining. And then there is the so-called Beatle hair cuts, the stigma of our modern society. In this instance, we see the logic of Mr. Burton's opinion, for it is written that individuals with short hair overhelmingly have a higher I. Q. than us "long hairs." In conclusion there are extremes and will continue to be extremes in society, but our elders must not penalize our generation for the nearsightedness of themselves. The entire statement by the Attorney General is really not surprising because it came from the same capital pad where our beloved representative beatniks gathered in 1963 to pass the coolest law on the books — the Speaker Ban.

Killian, Head of the Department of Education and Psychology, Western Carolina College is in the process of establishing a Comprehensive Clinic to serve the western-most counties of North Carolina. Since 1938, WCC has operated a guidance clinic which to Western North Carolina thirteen years ago. Since then he has been a clinical psychologist for the North Carolina Department ot Public Welfare in the twenty-five western-most counties. Concerning his work with the clinic, Dr. Nale said, "I would like to help fulfill the Dr. Max Williams and Dr. Maurice B. Morrill were appointed to new administrative posts at Western Carolina College this summer by the Board of Trustees. Dr. Williams was appointed Assistant Dean and Dr. Morrill was appointed as Director of the Graduate Division. Both appointments became effective at the beginning of the fall term. _ Dr. Morrill came to WCC in 1950 as a professor of education, later served as director of the Summer Demonstration School for several years, and also as acting graduate director of the Summer Demonstration School for several tion to establish an agricultural college at Akwoz in Iran. He spent two years in Iran and when he left, his picture was hung in the Iran's office; later, a new building was named and dedicated in his honor.

Meeting a need in the public schools of the region, this clinic also provided in- service classes for teachers. The name of the Guidance Clinic was subsequently changed to the Guidance Clinic and Extension Division. In the past few years it has become apparent to Dr. Killian that additional centers and clinics are in demand in this area. Finally, his 1964 proposal for a Comprehensive Guidance Clinic is becoming a reality rather than just a dream. This Comprehensive Clinic, as it continues to expand, will eventually include six branches: a Mental Health Center, a Developmental Evaluation Center, a Speech and Hearing Center, a Reading and Learing Disorders Center, a Testing and Counseling Bureau, and a Gifted-Child Center. Dr. Stanley L. Nale is the coordinator of all the centers of the clinic. Dr. Nale, a native of Pennsylvania, received his bachelor's degree from Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania and earned his master's and doctor's degrees at Pennsylvania State University. He was with the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare prior to coming dream of Dr. Killian, which is to provide, in the true sense of the word, a comprehensive center of services for the region." He also said he would like to see preventive practices used rather than curative measures in all phases of the clinic. Each of the six branches will be covered in greater detail in separate consecutive articles. Delegates Picked For Hall Boards Hall Boards from the three female dormitories have been chosen. The Hall Boards are the governing bodies of the dorms.
