VOL. XXXIV NO.6 Thursday, October 10, 1968 CULLOWHEE, N.C. Day Student Council °ver *7*"Mon Holds First Meeting Budget Tied Up In Assembly By KEN BALL The Day Student Council held its first meeting of '68- '69, Monday, Oct 7. The Council consists of the five Day Student Government officers and ten appointed council members. John Henning is President of the Day Students, with Ken Cobb serving as Vice-President. Three senators are Ken Ball, Jim Grant, and Jimmy Barnwell, This year the Council members are: Libby Davis, Terry Nevius, Bob Nesbitt, Barbara Mincey, Gary Dills, John Kouns, John Helgeson, Robert Newton, and Norman Dudley. Donna Ashe, of Sylva, because of her willingness to work, and her interest in student affairs, has been appointed Day Student Secretary. As Day Student Vice-Pres- ident, Ken Cobb will serve as chairman at the meetings of tlu> council, which are held every other Monday. Four committees were established at the first meeting. Bob Nesbitt was appointed chairman of a Housing Committee to begin work on improving and establishing more and better off-campus housing. Terry Nevius was placed in charge of a committee to begin work on the very pressingprob- lem of campus parking. Ken Cobb heads a committee to rewrite the Day Student Con- stitution in order for Day Student government to become a separate body from Men and Women's House Government, A Day Student Publicity Com- mittee, headed by Ken Ball, was also established One of the major functions of the DS council is to establish closer contact between the JOHN HENNING, PRESIDENT DAY STUDENT GOVERNMENT Day Student government and the Day Student body. Any day student who has any problems, complaints, or suggestions is urged to contact one of the coun ■ cil members or members of the Day Student government, There is a Day Student of fice on the second floor of the A.K. Hinds University Center. Office hours are as follows: 10 and 2 p.m. on Monday, Wed., and Friday, and 10, 11, 2, and 3 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thurs- days. By STAN RAHN The decisions concerning the 1969-71 capital improvements and "B" budget requests for WCU should be known at the end of the present session of the North Carolina General Assembly. Western Carolina University has asked for $18,112,000 in capital improvements and $4,975,455 in general fund appropriations under the "B" budget. There are many im = provements and changes to be made if the funds are allocated when the final revenue bill is passed to Raleigh this June. Since present water storage capacity is 300,000 gallons and presen'. daily consumption is over 400,000 gallons, additional storage capacity is urgently needed to cope with emergencies and to take care of normal situations, A new reservoir with a 1,000,000 gallon capacity is requested at an esti- mated cost of $175,000. The University has no fire control equipment except portable fire extinguishers and fire hydrant water. The hydrant water pressure is too low for effective fire hose use in high- rise dormitories, resulting in a definite need for equipment to greatly increase the hydrant pressure. Also needed are trucks equipped with fire controlling and life saving devices to take care of nine and ten story buildings. $50,000 is requested to take" care of this necessity, Impressions Re-Booked For Oct. 14 Concert The Fabulous Impressions, popular singing group, have been rescheduled for a return engagement at Western Carolina University to make up for a performance cancelled last month. Dean of Student Affairs Taylor L. Huskins, chairman of the Programs Committee, said the informal concert has been scheduled for 8:00 pm, Tuesday, Oct 14, in Reid Health and Physical Education Build ing. The Impressions' concert September 23 was cancelled after the group was unable to fulfill its contract and arrived on the campus late. The English, Modem Foreign Languages, and Music departments are desperately in need of more room. The English department will need 20 classrooms, 40 offices, and room for Dramatic Arts by 1970. Languages will need a minimum of eight classrooms and three language laboratories, and 15 offices. Music seriously lacks space at present The department will need six classrooms, one small recital hall, two large rehearsal halls, 30 practice rooms, and 15 office studios. Accompanying the critical need for a Humanaities Building is the problem of space which will become more acute with any increase in enrollment, Buildings The proposed Humanities Building will cost an esti mated $2,375,000. The new Education and Psychology Building needs space to accommodate increased en rollment, This space will come as a result of an added fourth floor to the building. Addition to Bird Administra tion Building and renovation of Stillwell Building are also re quested at an estimated cost of $565,000. The space requirements for functions such as recreation, athletics, student assemblies, graduations, teaching, and others are far greater than anv presently available. A faci lity to aid Reid Health and Physical Education Building is re quested at an approximate $3,025,000, Bids were opened on May 2, 1968 for Outside Health and Physical Education Facilities, which includes the grading of 12 tennis courts. The cost estimate, based on the May 2 bids, is $80,000. The present infirmary was constructed in 1939 when enrollment was approximately 500. A $102,000 request to add room for 12 beds, two examination rooms, and a laboratory has been made, The additional 12 beds would be used for men, and would bring the total to 34 beds for 5,000 students. Walks, drives, and landscaping, air conditioning for Hunter Library, addition to the campus greenhouse, addition to Campus Laboratory School, more faculty housing, and alterations to the electrical distribution system are more of the requested improvements, and come to a total of $1,505,000. WCU has also requested $2,730,000 to undertake abroad and active continuation education and conference and short-course program. Three 600-bed dormitories are in the planning stages, and are to be ready by 1971 for the expected enrollment of 5,000. The cost is to be an approximate $6,120,000, The University Sewage Treatment Plant needs a total $500,00 for improvements and additions. For purchase of land to expand the campus, $600,000 is needed, 'B' Budget The "B" budget request placed emphasis on urgently needed improvements to the University library. A total of $941,405 was requested for the library for a two-year period, Also requested were funds to implement its baccalaureate degree program in nursing, which has been approved by the N. C. Board of Higher Education. Biennium requests also included: —A 15 per cent faculty salary increase, $823,483. -Increased maintenance and operation of the physical plant, $201,930, --Data processing services, including larger computer and increased personnel, $166,628. -Additions to School of BuSl ■ ness faculty to meet accreditation requirement*, $113,850. '-Implementation of nursing program, $187,790. —"Seed" money to match federal and other grants and contracts for [nstruction, research, and service, $250,000. -•Funds to support organized faculty research, $60,000, ••-Supplies and materials, $40,000, • Support for undergraduate program in social welfare, $49,677; planning funds for School of Allied Health Pro- • fessions, $85,435; equipment for Stillwell Building,$294,469; additions to faculty, $856,205; funds to match federal funds sought to establish a Bureau of Economic Research and Development, $79,705; support for lopment, $79,705; support for graduate assistantships, $140,000, increased summer school support, $183,653. A number of other requests involving lesser sums were part of the proposed "B" budget Red Cross Begins Nationwide Program The American National Red Cross has begun a nationwide retraining program for all currently authority water safety instructors who wish to remain on active status. This mandatory retraining program, which is to be accomplished by December 31, 1969, is necessary because: there is a change in the Red Cross philosophy and approach to teaching swimming, a new instructor outline has been prepared, and it is nationwide in scope and acceptance, and it is extremely important that all persons teaching Red Cross swimming and life saving courses be throughly grounded in the new aspects of the program.
