XXXII, NO. 24 Tuesday, January 17, 1967 CULLOWHEE, N. C. ADMINISTRATION DISCUSSES GREEK HOUSING Due to recent actions of the Student Senate concerning Greek housing at WCC, the CAROLINIAN has solicited comments and opinions of several people closely connected with this issue. Dean of Student Affairs Taylor H. Huskins: "I'm not going to comment on Greek housing until it goes through the proper committees, because you people up there don't know all that's going on." Dean of Men, Doug Davis: "1 believe that four questions must be answered by the committees; these are l)the best method of finance, 2)best locations for houses,3)types of houses, and 4)size of building. Nothing I can say in this area will be above what the faculty committee and IFC committee make as their recommendation to the board of trustees. I do not doubt the young men's ability to run the houses, but I wonder what the expense would be to rent a room. We must keep housing cost to where our students can afford it, If all questions are answered satisfactorily, then 1 say I am in favor of Greek housing. Chairman of Faculty advisory committee on Greek housing, Anthony Brown: "From the work I've done so far, I will say that the objects are now clearer and the goals are nearer. We must now follow the proper channels through until we reach our goals. "Some of the problems are, 'What kind of housing do the Greeks want?" 'How do they want to finance them?" 'Where are they going to build them?' "Our Greek organizations are relatively young. They are not ready to build $100,000 houses right now. First, the fraternities could buy the property and have a lodge or hut on it where they could hold meetings, and a few of the brothers could stay, take care of the place and learn just how to run a house. Brothers would be re- a house. Brothers would be rotated every so often so that all brothers would learn. "This week we start working on plans that will be workable here at WCC, but 1 think it will take two years before the Legislature will pass it. Up until now the lack of communication has been the problem. Now, with the two committees working together, 1 think we can get this thing going." Roger Euliss, chairman of the Inter-fraternity Council's committee on Greek housing: "We want to approach this in a way no one can kick about it, not the board of trustees, the Legislature, etc. We don't want to rush into this. "My committee is planning on writing letters to a wide variety of state supported schools to see how they got Greek housing and what suggestions they can give us. "While Anthony Brown's committee is sending out questionnaires to each brother to see what type of house he would like and how they would like to pay for it, through the lodge CONTINUED, page 8 MORROW IS MISS CATAMOUNT 1967 Victor Is Crowned JOAN MORROW AFTER BEING CROWNEI MISS CATAMOUNT FOR 1967' H^^^^^ Steps Are Taken Towards Fire Protection Here Plans to begin fire prevention measures in the Cullowhee area took shape last night at 7:30 meeting in the Camp Laboratory School cafeteria. Major action included appointment of a steering committee to study the several possibilities and report back to the assembled citizens four weeks from today. The committee, headed by Ed Bryson, director of the Jackson County Industrial Education Center, is composed of George Sloan, Julian Hirt, Brady Parker, James Kirkpatrick, Johnny Clayton, and Mrs. Wymer Mincey. They will consider three major areas in pursuing a fire protection program that will be effective for Cullowhee; these are incorporation, establishment of a volunteer fire department through donations, and creation of a fire district. Bryson, who presented the possibilities in introducing the problem, commended the Sylva fire department for its work, but added, "It makes no difference how adequate your fire protection is, it has no value unless it can get there in time, and by that I mean less than 10 minutes." He went or. to say that the formation of a fire district in Cullowhee was the most appealing of the potential methods. Lab school principal Joseph Hicks, who presided at the assembly, then introduced Ronnie Dietz, who gave the results of a recent population survey con- ducted by the college's Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity. Dietz, in offering his fraternity's help in any fire prevention program, said that there were 800-900 homes with four miles of the Cullowhee post office by roads, and a total population of approximately 3300. This figure, Dietz said, while note including the campus dormitory population is more than twice the population within Syl- va's city limits, and the 800-900 figures does not include barns or structures other than dwellings. He added, "These figures should make obvious the need for fire protection here." Equipment needs were outlined by Barton Cope, area consultant for fire services, department of community colleges. In stating that he was "anxious to see fire protection established in the WCC area," Cole set down about $25 thousand in necessary rolling stock and accessories for CONTINUED, page 8 Western To Begin Academic Expansion A program of academic growth, designed to match the ambitious building aims of Western Carolina College, will begin during the 1967-68 academic year. As a result of committee recommendations and the academic needs of a rapidly growing student body, next fall quarter will see extensive changes and additions in some phases of Western Carolina's academic program. The report of a faculty ad- visorary committee revealed a plan for academic expansion which would move the college into university academic organization. The plan called for the establishment of several individual schools, with each school having its own Dean. Newton Turner, Dean of the College, said that at least two schools of this type would be installed in Western Carolina's academic program within one year. The exact purposes or names of these schools re- CONTINUED, page 8 By Miss N Carolina I Joan Morrow, representing the Student National PMucation Association, was mimed Miss Catamount 1967 in the Miss Catamount Contest held last night in Hoey Auditorium.

After much consideration, the committee decided to let later hours for women be effected on a purely trial basis. This act will become effective on Feb. 1 and will be subject to review until May 1. The hours are 11 p.m. on Monday through Thursday, 12 midnight on Friday and Sunday, and 1 a.m. on Saturday. This appeal, made twice last year and denied for various reasons, was presented at the 32nd Annual Pre-session Conference. From there it was sent to the Ways and Means Committee which studied the proposals. The Women's House Government then polled the women about later hours and formulated a letter to the Student Affairs Committee statingtheir aims. The committee studied the advantages and disadvantages of later times for the women. It was resolved that extension of hours could reduce the a- mount of trouble women get into because of late arrival from trips off campus, and the possibilities of accidents could be minimized. On Sunday nights, girls have more time to get back from weekend trips, and on Saturdays return from organizational functions would be easier. It is feared, however, that students might not use these times to the best of their benefits. Also, the dormitory hostesses would be overworked if men and women, especially, did not cooperate. It was also pointed out that extended time privileges might hinder rather than help girls' study habits. The results of these proposals could be revoked at any time, and if they are abused, they more than likely will be. As long as there are no hazards to health, study, or any other related activities, these hours will be in effect. Even so, they may be revoked within two weeks if abused. The committee has decided upon this issue and its members CONTINUED, page 8
