XXXll, NO. 40 Friday, April 7, 1867 CULLOWHEE, N. C. ROGER EULISS WINS BY LANDSLIDE VOTE Sutton Wards Off Write-ins To Win Bid For Vice-President CHARLES SUTTON, VICE-PRESIDENT ELECT M.A. In Amer. History Will Begin Here Next Fall A master of arts degree in American history for Western Carolina CoUege was approved March 16, by the State Board of Higher Education. The planning for a master's degree in American history began in the fall of 1964. The department revised its academic curriculum in American history in anticipation of an evaluation of the program by a representative of the State Board of Higher Education. In the spring of 1965, Dr. Henry S. Stroupe, Chairman of the Graduate Program at Wake Forest CoUege, came to the college as a representative of the State Board, to advise the department on its revisions for the new program. "Dr. Stroupe suggested that the program here was essentially sound, but that the school should not undertake the master of arts degree until the department was better equipped," stated Dr. Williams, head of the Social Sciences Department. In the past two years, as a result of the new graduate pre- gram, three Ph. D.'s were added in American history, and, in European history, two were added. Significant improvements were made in the library holdings in the research program. Next year there will be six Ph.D's in American history and five in European history. "The library has been improved by the addition of biographical aids, professional journals, newspapers, periodicals, and other primary ma- terials,"»Dr. Williams add«L Next fall, John Bell will return to WCC after completing his doctorate study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and he will replace J. M. Pleasants. Bell was the recipient of the R.D.W. Conner Award for the best article in the N. C. Historical Review, in 1963. To complete hes doctorate study he was granted the Danforth Fellowship. Constance Head, also completing her doctorate study with the Danforth Fellowship, will join the staff. She will replace W. R. Thomson, who has also received the Danforth Fellowship to complete his doctorate study. For excellence in the undergraduate study, Miss Head was presented the Cokesbury A- ward. Miss Head, a specialist in Ancient medieval history is presently studying at Duke. Another addition to the staff will be Richard Iobist, a North Carolina History Specialist. Iobist wrote "The Bloody Sixth, The Sixth North Carolina Regiment Confederate States of A- merica." He is receiving his degree at U.N.C. at Chapel Hill. He has had six years of work in the state department in the Archives of History. The history department needs original documents, old letters, and journals to strengthen its primary resources. Students interested in contributing are asked to contact Dr. M. R. Williams, head of the department.

Euliss' Margin Nears Thousand, Record Numbers Flock To Polls ROGER EULISS, PRESIDENT-ELECT Junior Senator Roger Euliss emerged victorious by almost a thousand votes in yesterday's presidential elections at Western Carolina College. Euliss polled 1378 votes during the day's balloting as compared with the 394 garnered by his opponent, Barry M. Steagall, the incumbent vice-president. In other voting Charles Sutton, lone official candidate for Vice- President of th e Student Body, won by a 1246 to 174 vote margin over write-in candidate Jim Minter. A record number of students flocked to the poUs in front of Stillwell between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., with 1772 students marking the presidential ballot. The election capped off less than a week of open campaigning, and it was felt that the high participation was largely a result of the interest and enthusiasm generated by all factions during this time. While the campaign speeches were sparsely attended Tuesday morning, The We stern Carolinian forum the following night attracted a crowd of almost 200 to Hoey Auditorium. WWOO radio coverage of the forum reached those who were unable to attend. Euliss ran on a platform emphasizing the social and cultural growth of Western Carolina College and more direct representation for the student body. A longtime member of student government here, he lists among his experience for the current year the chairmanship of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, President Pro-Tempore of the Senate, chairman of the homecoming and IFC housing committees, co-chairman of the May Day central planning committee, membership on the appropriations, lyceum and student faculty judiciary committees. He is past president of Delta Sigma Phi fraternity and a dormitory counselor. In an interview following his election, Euliss said, "I want to thank everyone who worked on my behalf during the campaign, especially those who spoke in my favor and who showed enough interest in their student government to vote in yesterday's election. The job now lies both ahead and behind; I would like to finish certain Senate and student government projects which have been in the works this year and in some cases for the last several years. But there are also new and better things ahead. With the help of all the students of Western Carolina CoUege, I hope to be able to perform according to the trust they have invested in me. "There are other elections very soon. Let us continue to be dUigent in our efforts to elect those men and women to office who base their merits on both personal and co-operative performance. "I would like to thank Mr. Steagall and his supporters for a campaign that was clean, open and honest, and I hope that his followers will be as active in student government as they were in his campaign." Sutton, the vice-president e- lect, based his campaign around support from his feUow day students, promising to work for better day student facUities, programs and representation. He has served this year as day student Senator, a member of the CoUege Center Board and Day Student Council, and secretary of Interfraternity Council. His chairmanships include the day student committee and Handbook for Student Organizations committee, he is a member of hie Ways and Means, constitutional review and community development committees, and the con- CONTINUED.
