  • Page 4 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday, October 27, i%6 CAROLINIAN FEATURE SECTION Viewpoint Perhaps not too many people know John Roper. Whether he is "known or not it is of great significance that something be said in his behalf. Just last week Mr. Roper resigned his position of Presidential Assistant In the field of student government It is not enough to say that Mr. Roper will be sorely missed. To those who have worked with him this is a known fact As a student Senator last year Mr. Roper was elected by his fellow senators as the Senator of the Year. Added to this honor he was and Is responsible for many improvements that have been made to the school and for many conveniences made possible to the student body. Last year the Student Senate felt there was a communications problem with the student body it served. President of the Student Body Paul Cabe and Vice President Buz Helms sought for a remedy. This remedy came in the form of a small newsletter entitled •The Senate Speaks." The editor: John Roper. The face and thoughts, as well as the Ideas of Mr. Roper, were a strong influence in many of the committees of the Student Senate. Under his leadership and willingness to work manv of these committees ac complished unbelievable feats of political good for the students of Western Carolina. As a member of the Ways and Means Committee Mr. Roper spent many hours In obtaining a summons In the form of a letter to be sent to students having to appear before the Student-Faculty Judiciary i Committee or their respective House Governments. This was not enough. Mr. Roper worked even further by counseling these students before their appearances. Keep in mind that all of this was to help his fellow student; not for personal glory. The issue of longer hours for the women of this institution has long been a sore spot Mr. Roper applied ointment to the wounded area through his work in the Student Senate. He attended all of the significant meetings where this issue was discussed and rendered time as well as Influence to the proceedings. When the final draft for longer hours appeared before the Student Affairs Committee it did not come in the form that the Student Senate had intended for it to. Mr. Roper, present at the meeting, killed the motion be- Continued, Page 5 CLYDE'S RESTAURANT Where the Home Folks Eat Welcomes WCC Students 1231Balsam Road Waynesville, N. C. The RITZ SYLVA, N. C.

Crum, head of the WCC English Department, has dedicated her life to teaching English at Western Carolina College. She loves her profession and has reaped many rewards from it, the greatest being her contribution to students learning the English language. Coming to Western in 1938, she began her career as a college critic teacher working with 25 student teachers who were practice teaching at McKee Laboratory School. At that time she was the only English teacher on the staff. She had just received her master's degree from the University of Kentucky and at that time it was difficult to get into college teaching without a Ph. D, She decided that her work at the Lab School would probably lead into work on the regular college staff, and the following year she was appointed to a full-time teaching position on the college level. In her first freshman class she taught Dr. James Eller, now a professor in the biology department and Jim Gudger, head basketball coach. From 1939 until after 1950 every student attending Western Carolina College was required to take a speech course. Dr. Crum taught these courses, and consequently taught every student that graduated from WCC for 11 years. W. Crum sponsored the WESTERN CAROLINIAN from 1939 until 1949. Duringthistime the newspaper was published once every two weeks usually in four page editions. In 1939 during the 50th anniversary of the College, a 20 page edition was published to coincide with the celebration. The newspaper was paid for then, as now, by student activity fees. It was printed at the SYLVA HERALD, WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER and now extinct JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL. At the same time, the English teacher was director of theatrical productions at WCC. "The basement of the Baptist Church was the beginning of the Little Theatre," said Dr. Crum. "There was no where else to give plays at that time. "Our first production was THE WHOLE TOWN'S TALK ING staged in 1940, followed by OUR TOWN and several Shakespearean plays." Dr. Crum believes that the different areas of English are of ereat imnortanoe in the modern day world. "In linguistictics, that part of English concerned service in keeping these standards alive. Mabel Tyree Crum and her husband Dr. Joseph Crum live in a comfortable home on Buzzard's Roost with their spitz doe "Busy." Her most enjoyable moments, however, are those spent in the classrooms of WCC. DR. MABEL T. CRUM with reading, writing and speaking, English is important to the entire college curriculum, and it prepares the student to write or speak effectively in any area he chooses for a career, "she said. in the business world the English language enables a person to speak clearly and precisely. His use of Lie language indicates his education, and to a certain degree, the class of people to which he belongs. She continued by saying that Literature places emphasis on ideas of the ages and man's effort to solve the problems of life. It is a source of man's moral and spiritual ideals, and she believes we characterize these ideals today in our Western civilization. "If one makes the study o* literature a profession," she concluded, "he will study ancient Greek ideals—ideals that are ourjs today.
