  • _^ WESTERN Carolinian The Voicc of the Student's VOL. XXXI, NO. 18 MARCH 18, 1966 CULLOWHEE, N. C. Chambers, Taylor Attend Convention Jerry Chambers, editor of the 1965-66 Western Carolinian, and Nick Taylor, news editor of the weekly paper, recently traveled to Columbia University in New York City where they attended the forty-second annual Columbia Scholastic Press Association convention. The convention took place from March 10 through 12 and represented a great many of the certified colleges and high schools throughout the United States. The main purpose of the convention was to discuss methods and present examples of outstanding newspapers, both high school and college, throughout the nation, and the same topics were discussed although the several age levels present at the convention met separately. Topics under consideration included headlines, layout, photography, and the four main sections of every paper: news, editorials, features and sports. Speakers at the various meetings included professional journalists from all phases of magazine and newspaper work, and college editors who chaired the various sectional meetings cov ering such points as the inside news pages, sports features, and editorial freedom. Other points under discussion were approaches to selling advertising, coping with criticism, magazine layout, and how to uncover the news. Following the Friday morning critiques for the college division, the college representatives attended a luncheon at which nationally known syndicated columnist Drew Pearson spoke. Pearson's address was on the subject, "Forming Public Opinion," and he included notes on methods of obtaining information for column topics. Vice-president Hubert H. Humphrey spoke at the concluding luncheon of the convention, held on Saturday, March 12, in the Imperial Ballroom of the American Hotel. Other leading journalists to address the delegates were Judith Crist, of the New York Herald-Tribune; Mrs. Ruth Whitney, executive editor of Seventeen magazine; and Lester Markel, associate editor of the New York Times. Chambers said concerning the trip, "The Carolinian stacked up very well against the papers we saw at the convention; perhaps next year we will be able to submit copies in time for the judging and critiques. I also hope that this trip will set a precedent for future editors, since we obtained many helpful ideas for publishing the college newspaper." The Columbia Scholastic Press Association, sponsored by Columbia University, was established in 1925. Coronary Fells Simpson r • r *• I n I I Purchasing Agent For College Spring Festival Replaces Had Filled Posiiion Since ,58 Annual May Day Event The annual May Day festivities lengthened and re-christened as Spring Festival, will be held this year during the six- day period beginning May 9 and continuing through May 14. The theme of this year's festival is in conjunction with the spring quarter musical My Fair Lady being presented by the Little Theatre May 11 through the~15th. The week's activities will begin with an informal songfest to be held at Woodland Stage below Madison on Monday night, May 9. All campus organizations are being asked to sponsor some sort of musical group which will compete for prizes. This will be followed by a hootenanny-type affair if time permits. Dean of Women Miss Margaret Ratterree has given permission for girls to wear slacks to this event. Plans remain tentative for Tuesday, but the play will be presented Wednesday through Sunday nights. Friday night will feature Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs at an informal dance sponsored by the Student Senate. The Little Theatre has agreed to show a matinee production on Saturday afternoon, curtain time 1:00, for alumni and parents specifically in mind. This will be followed by a tea for the May Queen, her court, and their parents which will be given by Delta Zeta Sorority. The week of activities will be climaxed by a gala ball on Saturday night in Reid Gymnasium, at which time the May Queen will be officially crowned. Following the crowning, the Western Carolina College Chorus will sing several selections from My Fair Lady, accompanied by the WCC Dance Band, which will also perform at the dance. The May Day Central Committee instituted the week-long agenda due to the fact that May Day itself seems to be waning in popularity among the larger colleges. There have been several objections to the elimination of the afternoon program and crowning ceremony, but the Central Committee did this for a specific purpose. May 14 was the only available weekend and is, as well, the weekend prior to final exams. In this way, students will have more time on Satruday for study; nor would an afternoon program suit the theme. In initiating an entire week for Spring Festival, it is hoped that the event will grow into a much bigger and more elaborate affair at WCC such as the Jubilee presented at the University of North Carolina each spring. Plans for the affair here are still tentative in some respects and more activities may be added during the week. Project Concern Will Begin Local Campaign March 20 Project Concern, an independent, non-profit relief organization, will be effected upon the campus of Western Carolina College and throughout Jackson County beginning March 20. The purpose of the non-partisan organization is to solicit funds to provide a method of training people to treat the sick and hungry in Viet Nam and elsewhere in Southeast Asia. Beginning Sunday, March 20, the ministers of Jackson County will announce the project from their pulpits. That Wednesday, the 23rd, WCC radio WWOO will carry a report on Project Concern at about 9:00 p.m. On Thursday several campus organizations, including the International Relations Club, Presbyterian Westminster Fellowship, the Young Democrats and Young Republicans Clubs, will solicit funds in all dormitories. Then on Friday, the 25th, the organizations will collect donations in Brown Cafeteria during the noon meal. These students will again collect funds on Saturday and will this time cover all of Jackson County. Project Concern can, with the money it receives, provide with $1 seven days of treatment for removal of parasitic intestinal worms; $5 provides 21 days of treatment for severe fungus disease in a child; $10 will give a child suffering from malnutrition three months of medicine and food necessary to overcome the illness; $25 provides salary and support for a native village medical officer and basic medical care for an entire village for one month; $50 provides necessary daily medical treatment for tuberculosis for one year. Founded by Dr. James W. Turpin, Project Concern in 1961 was incorporated as a non-profit organization in the State of California. In Viet Nam the project treats more than 600 persons per month. Mr. Billy Burke Simpson, Western Carolina College's purchasing agent since 1958, died at the age of 36 Saturday, March 22, of an apparent heart attack. Mr. Simpson, born December 23, 1930, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Henry Simpson, was a native of Cullowhee. Number 358. He is survived by his wife, Shirley Parker Simpson, formerly of Sylva, and three children: two sons, Tommy and Mark, and a daughter, Beverley. Also surviving are his brother, Thomas Willard Simpson, who is president of the Asheville-Bun- ■PI nE*i Billy Burke Simpson He was a graduate of Western Carolina College, receiving his Bachelor's degree in business administration in 1958. He was appointed to his position as purchasing agent in July of the same year. Prior to his enrollment at Western Carolina he served with the Navy from 1951 to 1954 and was a veteran of the Korean War. Mr. Simpson was a prominent member of Cullowhee Baptist Church where he served as a deacon and a trustee. He was a past superintendent and teacher of the Sunday school there as well. He was also a member of East LaPorte Masonic Lodge combe Technical Institute in Asheville, and his sister, Caroline, the wife of Dr. William Acker of Knoxville, Tenn. His younger brother, Charles Edward Simpson, is a resident of Winston-Salem. Funeral services were held at Cullowhee Baptist Church March 14 by the Rev. George Braswell. Graveside services were performed by the East LaPorte Masonic Lodge. Arrangements were made by Moody Funeral Home of Sylva. According to Mr. James Kirk Patrick, Western Carolina College Business manager, no successor has as yet been announced to Mr. Simpson's position. Senate Meets For Discussion The Student Senate of Western Carolina College met Monday, March 14, 1966, at 7:30 p.m. The first matter discussed was traffic violation appeals. Any student receiving a ticket which he considers unjust does not have an alternative in paying the fine. A student must pay the fine and then he may apepal to Dr. D. W. Matthews and if this report is found justified the student will be given a hearing in which he can call witnesses to prove his innocence. Another matter discussed was the telephone situation in which new telephones have been installed but they do not rended any service yet. Western Carolina Telephone Company has re ceived daily calls of complaints about the poor service on campus. The Senate affirmed the fact that if such conditions are not corrected, the matter will be referred to the State Utilities Commission. Also, the suggestion came up that the Senate publish a large calendar for each student next year. This calendar would include the dates of all functions such as ballgames or dances and would leave ample space for the student to put in personal dates. This is pending inquiry as to cost and adaptation. The Senate also dismissed two fellow Senators for disciplinary reasons. The student handbook —Continued on page 9
