Homecoming Accents Expansion Western Carolina College will play host this weekend at its 76th annual Homecoming to the largest influx of alumni in the history of the school, largely because of the physical expansion of the college and the undefeated record of the Catamount football team. The Homecoming events, under the theme of "Physical Expansion plus Educational Development Equals Greater Opportunity," will open tonight at 8:00 p.m. in Reid Gymnasium with a dance sponsored by the Student Senate. Entertainment will be furnished by Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs. Dress for the occasion will be coat and tie for boys and street shoes, skirts and blouses for the girls. The dance will conclude at 12:00 p.m. Tomorrow the various parade route displays will be judged. Trophies will be given in four categories, Greek, Dormitory, Professional, and Religious. Judging, under the direction of Mr. Duane Oliver of the Fine and Industrial Arts Department and an appointed committee, will be held at 10:00 a.m. Trophies will be presented at the afternoon stadium program. The returning alumni will register in Bird Administration Building from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. During this time they will be served coffee by the members of Alpha Phi Sigma, campus honorary scholistic fraternity. Lunch will be served in Brown Cafeteria from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The freshmen will form for the annual parade at 1:00 p.m., at Reid Gymnasium. Various campus Greeks, other organizations and the visiting high school bands will also participate in the parade. The route will pass the several displays and continue to Memorial Stadium. At the stadium President Paul A. Reid will present the trophies for the winning displays. Also, at this time the Western Carolina College Marching Band will perform prior to the appearance of the visiting high school bands. All dormitories will be opened from 2:30 until 4:30 p.m. for the convenience of parents, alumni and visitors. During the same hours the alumni will be feted at a Fellowship Hour in the Gallery of Hunter Library. Students will eat Saturday evening at the regular time, while the alumni schedule plans for a 6:00 p.m. barbeque in Brown Cafeteria. Highlighting the weekend festivities will be tomorrow night's game and surrounding events, to be held in Memorial Stadium beginning at 7:30. WCC's marching Catamounts, assisted by the Owen High School Band, will present a thematic pre-game show illustrating the growth of the band since its beginning here 20 years ago and projecting its development five years into the future. Then, in a presentation ceremony by President of the College Paul A. Reid, Homecoming Queen Trudy Cauthen will be crowned. Miss Cauthen, a senior from Newton, will be presented with her court, which includes Miss Anita Lynn Wright, a senior from Canton; Miss Greta Beddingfield of Winter Haven, Fla.; Miss Joyce Abbott of Canton, who will represent the junior class; and Miss Rose Biggers, a sophomore from Burlington. Kickoff time for the Cats' contest with Catawba will be 8:00 p.m., with the Western Carolina team going for its fourth straight win of the year. At halftime the massed bands will perform the original compositions of Richard Trevarthen, WCC Department of Music. Following the game Reid Gymnasium will be the site of a dance for students and alumni continuing until 12:30 a.m. The Cavaliers of Charlotte will furnish the music. _. WESTERN Carolinian VOL. XXXI, NO. 5 The Voi cc of the Students Friday, October 8, 1965 CULLOWHEE, N. C. Day Students, Dormitories Vote In Senate Elections Ten new members were added to the roles of student government at Western Carolina College in the Dormitory and Day Student Senatorial elections held here Tuesday, October 5. These additional Senator-elects will round out the Senate's membership to its quota of 18. In Moore, the Freshman girls dormitory, Sharon Davis was victorious over Brenda Trott by a count of 62 votes to 41. In Albright, Brenda Teague carried 104 votes in the unopposed balloting. The total turnout for ihe Albright voting was more impressive than the returns might indicate, however, since write-in candidate Brenda Grubb received 46 votes and eight more write-in candidates receievd a total of 13 votes. Alice Rogers is the Senator-elect from Benton, receiving 68 votes; 20 remaining ballots were spread among nine write- in candidates. The Freshmen men of Buchanan Hall elected Thelbert W. Dowdy from a ticket of eight candidates. Dowdy carried 44 votes; his closest competition came from Gregory Crouse with 31 and Harvey Stergis with 37 votes. Others in the polling were Jerry Carringer, John Griffin, Charles Ratcliffe, Max Hopper and David Shope. One write-in ballot was submitted. Danny Morton was elected as the Senator from Robertson, by a count of 44 votes over 19 for Sonny Catlet. In Reynolds North, Barry Stegall ran unopposed and was elected with a total of 28 votes. Boyce Parks was unopposed in Reynolds South and garnered 25 ballots. Sixteen write-in candidates carried a total of 23 votes. Ken Gibobns was the sole candidate from Madison and won with 37 votes over 11 write-ins. The day students, comprising more than a third of the Western Carolina student .body, elected two Senators in.. Tuesday's polling. Six candidates contended for the two offices. Charles Kirkpatrick, with 187 votes, and Bruce Summey, with 139, emerged victorious. Tom Morgan led the other candidates with 119 ballots, followed by Jim Wade and Richard Gaddy. Paul Cabe, President of the Student Body, commented favorably on the elections. He said, "It was encouraging to gain the services of the additional Senators this week. With a fully composed Senate we will now be able to go forth even more strongly than we have to date on our Student Government projects. I wish to thank the day students especially for their interest in Student Government exhibited by their turnout in Tuesday's elections. Albright and Buchanan Dormitories are also to be commended." Election of Freshman Class Senator and officers is slated for the first two weeks following Homecoming this weekend. Final Figures For Enrollment Are Released President Paul A. Reid of Western Carolina College recently annonuced that the school's 1965 enrollment has increased 20% over that of a year ago. Registration ended Thursday, September 23, with a count of 2921 enrolled in on-campus classes. This is better than a 20% increase over last year's 2431. The undergraduate figure jumped from 2163 last fall to 2618 for the current term. These figures do not include in- service employees and the extension classes. "Enrollment explosion is the correct term," said President Reid. "We have no more dormitory space than we had last year but students are commuting from a wider area than before. Local homeowners have been wonderful about opening their home to students." Dr. Reid said, "Such crowded conditions on campus are admittedly undesirable. However, as a state supported institution, Western Carolina has a responsibility to receive as many qualified applications as circumstances will admit." With completion of two new dorms now under construction, 800 additional students can be housed next year, and plans are under way for two new dorms of the same size to be completed in the near future. Homecoming Queen Trudy Cauthen MISS TRUDY CAUTHEN, A JUNIOR FROM NEWTON, North Carolina, has been named Homecoming Queen for the 1965 festivities. A member of Sigma Kappa sorority, Miss Cauthen has held numerous other beauty titles at WCC, including Maid of Honor in last year's May court. Other members of the Homecoming Court are Anita Lynn Wright, Joyce Abbott, Greta Beddingfield, and Rose Biggers.
