Tour Highlights Concert Choir Activities By JANICE MONTEITH Western Carolina's Concert Choir, sponsored by Dr. Ar- mand Kitto, has planned several activities for the coming year, including a three-day tour of North Carolina cities. As in past years, the Choir plans to give a winter-quarter concert. This concert will be on December 10, and will consist of music appropriate to the Christmas season, as well as other selections. The main work will be Bach's "Magnificat" According to Dr. Kitto, the choir will present this work with orchestral accompaniment, and instrumentalists are being gathered from all over Western North Carolina to participate in the orchestra. A special feature will be the use of three special trumpets, of the kind that were used to play the piece originally. The choral work calls for a chorus as well as soloists, and Kitto intends to draw as many as possible of these participants from the students. In February, the group will take a three-day tour of North Carolina, as well as Atlanta, Knoxville, "The purpose of touring these cities," Kitto stated, "is to let metropolitan people see what Western Carolina University is like." After returning from their tour, they will present the concert on campus. The Chamber Singers, a group consisting of 11 members drawn from the choir, will have a separate concert during Winter Quarter. They will present Brahm's "Liebeslieder Waltzes." As a spring attraction, the choir hopes to sponsor a visit of an outstanding high school concert choir to our campus. Other tentative plans for the year include visits to various schools in this area for concert presentations, attendance at the Intercollegiate Choral Festival, and the cutting of a record that will include representative examples of their work throughout the year. Dr. Kitto stated that as yet, he didn't know what amount of money had been appropriated to the group. However, he ex- CONTINUED, Page 8 . . . Enrollment Set At 3,930 Nearly 4,000 students are enrolled for the fall quarter, according to a registration report released by Dr. Paul A. Reid, WCU president. Dr. Reid said registration figures show 3,930 on-campus students have been signed up for the fall term. Additionally, but not counted in this total, are part-time students throughout the mountain region enrolled in the university extension and industrial in-service programs. The enrollment report represents a 7.61 per cent increase over the 1966 fall quarter enrollment of 3,652. The increase at WCU came despite the fact that no additional dormitory bousing had become available since last year, when two 400-bed dormitories were opened. The availability of those beds last year resulted in a 1966 enroll ment jump of 22 per cent over 1965. For the past several years WCU has had to reject applications for admission at the rate of two for every one accepted, for lack of space. Dr. Reid pointed out that part of a multi-million dollar construction program now under way at the university will increase its dormitory capacity by 1,600 beds during the next two years. Now under construction is an 800-bed nine-story highrlse dormitory for women in the new south 'campus complex On the drawing boards are two more dorms, each providing 400 beds with one designed to house men and the other women. The 400-bed women's dorm will be built as a ■ring to the high-rise dormitory. Appropriations Announced Western Carolina's Student Appropriations Committee met this past week to consider organization requests for appropriations. The entire $58,332 in available funds was allotted among the eligible organizations requesting money for the coming year. From the original total of $182,700, more than $120,000 was reserved for athletics, ly= ceums, gym fees, one quarter's salary for Baxter Wood, station wagon expenditures and alumni. This left a total of $58,332 for appropriation to student organizations. The organization receiving the largest appropriation was The Catamount which received $25,000 in appropriations. Fol lowing closely behind was The Western Carolinian, which received $8,000, and the band, which received $5,500. The more than thirty organizations which received funds originally requested more than $117,000 in appropriations. The committee faced the problem of balancing the funds appropriated with the funds available.
