Friday, October 8, 1965 The Western Carolinian Page 7 Dean Williams'Comments Library Is Overcrowded Concern School Problems Max Williams, our college's new Assistant Dean, is not a new face on campus, but is a pleasing and amiable addition to our administrative staff. He is an interesting personality, possessing those qualities that both impress and delight, but still attaining the harmony of dignity that is necessary in his new position. Mr. Williams and hit wife, Sarah, have two boys, ages 4V£ and 3, and one girl 10 months old. He worked for his undergraduate degree at Duke, graduating In 1955. He then served a two-year hitch In the Navy, taking two tours of duty to the Arctic, and serving at an ammunition purpose of any institution of higher learning. He went on to explain that confidence in the abilities of the students was reflected in our Student-Faculty Judiciary Committee's decision to endorse the idea of allowing the Social Deans the opportunity to refer more cases to our Men and Women's House Governments. He pointed out that the SFJC could only endorse this idea and that a definite ruling on this new policy must come from the Executive Committee. When asked about the crowded conditions on our campus. Mrs. Williams made a definite point which we should all take to heart. As a DEAN WILLIAMS By Ted C. Whisnant The overcrowded situation of this college has been brought to attention many times. Perhaps the place where this is most evident, with the exception of housing, is the library. By interviewing Mrs. Buchanan one can see the situation in full perspective. Mrs. Buchanan has been with the library as its head for 35 years. The entire college library was then located in what is now the Club room of Joyner building. It consisted of three to four thousand books. One part of this room was partitioned for her office. From this room the library slowly spread until it covered the entire top floor of Joyner. Mrs. Buchanan used this library as a laboratory where she would work on ideas for her dream of a new library. This dream came true. Mr. Stedman Mitchell, who was In charge of moving the library, said to her as they brought the last of the books down the stairs, "Well, I guess you hope you never have to go up there again." She replied, "On the contrary, this library has been a resourceful laboratory for the new library." In 1942, Mrs. Buchanan returned to Columbia University on a fellowship. Here she wrote her thesis on libraries. She used questionnaires to find out if libraries for teacher colleges are any different. She found that, except in specified areas of studies that they are essent ially the same. This thesis told her what not to do in to the new library. In 1948, Mrs. Buchanan traveled to the Northeast colleges to study the plans of the libraries being built there. She visited many schools such as Harvard, Princeton, and MIT to gain new ideas. Some examples of these Ideas are the mezzanines and the study carrels. Flourescent lighting is used instead of other types. In 1950, the contract for Hunter Library was let and in April of 1952 it was ofl opened. The old libraries were storehouses of books, but Mrs. Buchanan and her staff adhere to the modern theory that libraries should be workshops for the students. On this campus the freshmen learn to use the library in their freshman Psychology courses. Mrs. Buchanan feels that this is a help in maintaining order. The library was a projected 25-year plan but the current expansion has brought about new plans for Hunter. At present, a one half million dollar contract is expected to be let before Christmas, with expansion hoping to begin afterwards. Mrs. Buchanan feels that the staff has been a great deal of help to the architects. She also feels that this is only right since the staff will live and work there. The library is a great center of activity on this campus with its various rooms being used for dances and club meetings. Mrs. Buchanan hopes that the students will always enjoy the library, even when the new student center is built and relieves some of the pressure of meeting places. The students of WCC owe much to Mrs. Buchanan for her never-ending desire to istitution. The ENGAGE-ABLES go for supply station at Sunny Point, N. C. He then returned to his academic endeavors and received a Master's in History at the University of North Carolina during 1957-58. Mr. Williams came to WCC in 19- 58 and taught until 1960, when he returned to UNC for further graduate work and was a part time Instructor of Modern Civilization. After completing his studies, he has now returned to our campus as an assistant Professor of History, teaching eight hours, and the new Assistant Deanship. He has been invited by our State Department of Archives and History to edit the remaining volumes of William A. Graham's papers, about whom he wrote his Doctorate. When asked if his new job had affected his relationship with the students in any way, Mr. Williams stated that the principal purpose of any college's existence is for the benefit and education of its students. He further stated that this was the purpose of a Dean, and any other college official. The education and healthful maturity of its students was the state supported college, W- CC has an obligation to educate as many students as possible. Education is vital to the progress of any Free Society. There can be no Golden Mean. Who is to draw the line and where may he draw it? When the mean is attained, who Is to be denied; turned away? The very essence, the bulwark of our society, is the right of all members to seek higher level of society and intelligence. No individual has the power or the right to deny this right to anyone. So our congested conditions, and so our American heritage is strengthened. The patience and tolerance of all students is necessary. Our teachers have some classes of 80 and 90 students, and they are taking this heavier load with kind spirits. All students should stop and think of what today's changes will mean tomorrow. As can be seen, Max Williams is both an interesting addition to our Administrative staff. He is a man who believes in the students and will work with them for the necessary harmony for an academic life. HEDDENS Barber Shop Sylva, N. C.
