  • WESTERN CAROL IN IAN TTic Voice of the St-udenrs VOL. XXXI, NO. 22 APRIL 22, 1966 CULLOWHEE, N. C. Miss Jackson County Plans Under Way Plans for the first annual Miss Jackson County Pageant to be held on the campus of Western Carolina College are well underway. According to pageant officials, nine contestants have signed entries to the preliminary Miss America Pageant and other possible candidates are expected to enter before the final entry date of Saturday, April 23. One of North Carolina's leading pageant experts, Fred Burgess of Clinton, will serve as master of ceremonies for the event. Burgess, who awards the "Most Photogenic" prize at the annual Miss North Carolina Pageants, has been a leading photographer for some time in the central part of the state. He has judged more than 200 beauty contests and has photographed more than 400 such events. Presently, Burgess is News Editor of the Clinton Independent. The Junior Chamber of Commerce in Jackson County is sponsoring the local contest, as do JayCee's throughout the nation. Due to the assistance of various county merchants and to the Mead Corporation of Sylva, prizes and awards total nearly $300. The pageant winner and the three runners- up will receive these awards. At least one scholarship was expected to be announced before the Carolinian went to press Tuesday night. At press time five WCC coeds were expected to participate in the event. They include Cindy Garber, Mary Lou Corbin, Anna Maria Weekly, Carol Sheppard, and Maxie Adams. Entries from Camp Laboratory School include seniors Deborah Jean Mincey and Sandra Rebecca Battle. The winner of the Miss Jackson County contest will participate in the Miss North Carolina Pageant to be held in July. General Elections Contrary to the announcement in last week's Carolinian setting the campus general election date as Tuesday, May 10, these elections will be held on Tuesday, May 3. Candidates for seats on the WCC Student Senate (class senators), editor and business manager of the Catamount and Western Carolinian, and Men's House Government positions will be elected at this time. Candidates for the respective offices must file on or before Monday, April 25. All voting will be held at the front entrance to Stillwell Building with the exception of Men's House elections, which will be held in the men's dormitories. Again, the campus-wide general elections will be held on Tuesday. May 3. The full slate of candidates will be run in next week's Carolinian; full participation is urged. WHG Heads Are Elected Draff Reclassification Guidelines Announced New guidelines for the reclassification and deferment eligibility of all male college students have been set recently by the Selective Service System. According to Dr. Max Williams, Assistant Dean at Western Carolina College, the criteria for the reclassification of a college student previously 2-S to 1-A are as follows: (1) He is an undergraduate who has been out of college for any reason for any length of time. (2) Hs is an undergraduate who has been in college the normal length of time required to receive the first undergraduate degree, but has not yet received that degree. (3) He is an undergraduate who, due to scholastic failure in one institution, has dropped out of that institution and Is currently enrolled In another. (4) He is a graduate student who entered graduate school more than two years previous, and has not yet received his first graduate degree. Williams stated that some people in these circumstances have already received orders to take their physical examinations and some have even been ordered to appear for induction. Any person ordered for induction may appeal to their local draft board for a temporary deferment (l-S(C) classification). This deferment, if granted, will be effective to August 23. Eligibility for the deferment of all college students with or without a 2-S classification will be based on either of two sets of criteria. The first of these will be the scores received on the competitive National Selective Service Qualification Test to be given May 14, May 21, and June 3. These tests will be given on these dates at 12,000 test centers across the country. Western Carolina College will serve as such a center. A score of 70 (80 for graduate students) will be required to be considered eligible for deferment. Williams said that the test will be given on a voluntary basis and that a score of seventy does not automatically assure deferment. He strongly urges, however, that students consider taking it; especially if they are not certain of their class rank or draft board status. Applications for the test Stiles, Baugh Gain Top Posts, Long Is Secretary - Treasurer must be postmarked not later than midnight, April 23. Application material and further information can be obtained at any Selective Service Board. The second set of criteria will be based on the student's class rank. A student will be eligible for deferment if he has: (1) Successfully completed his first academic year and is, at the end of that year, in the upper one-half of the male students In his class. (2) Successfully completed his 2nd academic year and is, at the end of that year, in the upper one-half of the male students in his class. (3) Successfully completed his third academic year and is, at the end of that year, in the upper three-fourths of the male students in his class. (4) Been pursuing a course which requires the completion of more than four years of full-time undergraduate study for the first undergraduate degree and is in the upper three-fourths of his fourth year class. (5) Been accepted to a |graduate school in the class beginning immediately after the completion of the requirements for his admission and is taking a full-time course leading to a degree and, in his last academic year prior to admission, was in the upper one-fourth of his class. In all cases the student must be accepted for admittance to the successive class (based on credit hours) or is already in that class. Williams said that Western Carolina College does not, as yet, have the figures for class rank available, but these figures are in the process of being computed. He also said that the final decision as to whether the student will be deferred or not is up to the local draft boards. The College will give him all the assistance possible, but cannot defer him. Recent reports from the Sylva Draft Board have said that the office is rapidly running out of the application forms for the Selective Service examination. Williams said Tuesday night, however, that efforts would be made to obtain a number of the applications. These, in the event they are obtained, will be placed in the main lobby of McKee Building Saturday, April 23; the deadline for mailing applications is midnight on the 23rd. Last Wednesday's Women's House Government elections resulted in victories for Joyce Stiles in the presidential race, Sandra Baugh for vice-president, and Gwen Long for secretary-treasurer. It was the opinion of several observers that the turnout of Moore Dormitory votes was a major factor in deciding the election. Miss Stiles, a junior from Old Mystic, Connecticut, and There has been generally more interest in the women's government. I hope that in the coming year W.H.G. will be able to better adapt the government to the women students. There is a definite need for the women students to become a working and interested part of their government; there has been interest this year and there is potential for a very effective women's government Joyce Stiles, W.H.G. president Gwen Long, W.H.G. Secy-Treas. an Art and Social Science major here, triumphed over Ginger Lathan and Cynthia Terres for the presidency. Serving as vice-president for the current school year, Miss Stiles is also a member of the College Center Board and has been refreshment chairman of the May Day Central Committee for the past two years; she is currently a life-guard at Breese Gym pool and a pledge of Alpha Xi Delta. In an interview following her election, Miss Stiles said, "This year Women's House Government has made a great deal of progress in rule and regulation changes within the government. Sandra Baugh, W.H.G. vice-president next year." In the vice-presidential polling Miss Baugh won out over Cheryl Goodwin, Shirley Jackson, and Donna Ramsey. A rising junior from Concord, North Carolina, she is majoring in Mathematics Education; Miss Baugh this year has been a counselor in Moore Dormitory, a member of SNEA and the Campus Chorus, and has worked as a library assistant. After the election, Miss Baugh said, "I hope to project, through my office, a different picture of Women's House Government as seen by the girls; I would like to change the attitude that W.H.G. is no more than an instrument of punishment. Since next year the situation of the new women's dormitories will probably necessitate certain rule changes, I feel sure that the girls will take an even greater interest in their government than they have thus far." Of the five candidates in the voting for Women's House secretary - treasurer, Gwen Long was the victor over Myra Fortner, Edwina Fox, Judy Swartz, and Barbara Webb. A sophomore from Lexington, North Carolina, Miss Long majors in Elementary Education. She has been social chairman and librarian of the Wesley Foundation here and next year will serve as program chair- main. Currently serving as secretary-treasurer of Albright Dormitory, she is also a member of SNEA.
