N.C. Consultant Shifts To Begin Appointment of Dr. Guy Burchfield to full-time consul- tative and teaching positions at Western Carolina University was announced recently by Dr. Alex S. Pow, president. The assignment is part of a genaral reorganization of school consultative services, summer school, and public reflations programs- Administrative changes will shift summer school and public relations responsibilities formerly assigned to Burchfield to other university offices. The reorganization is based upon staff studies which produced recommendations for separation of the three pro- grams. The responsibilities have been combined in one office at WCU since, its days as a small teachers college. The school consultative services program, Pow said, needs to be strengthened in keeping with the change to university status, and the university's broadened responsibility for regional services. "Because of the outstanding service which Dr. Burchfield has performed as a consultant to public schools, he will continue teaching in the areas of school administration and supervision," Pow stated. In these capacities, Burchfield will serve in the School of Education where he already is a member of the faculty with the rank of professor. He will assume his duties there, with offices in the Killian Build ing effective January 2, the start of winter quarter. Transfer of summer school and public relations will begin immediately, and Burchfield will assist in the changes in theper- iod until January 2. Burchfield is chairman of several visiting committees of the Southern Association of Col- DR. GUY BURCHFIELD leges and Schools, and serves as a consultant to a number of school systems. He is a member of both the North Carolina elementary and secondary school committees of the Southern Association, and is a director of the Southern Council on Teacher Education. In other facets of the reorganization, administration of the summer school program will be moved to the office of ivce president for acedemic Registration jOpens For Model United Nations Registration has officially opened for the 1969 Middle South Model United Nations which will be held at Western Carolina University March 26-30, 1969. The announcement came in a letter from the secretary- general, Max H. Hopper of Earl, to over 100 colleges and universities in the Eastern United States which are expected to participate in the Model United Nations. Bill Biggers of Asheville, chef de cabinet of the organization, stated that more than 25 delegations have already responded favorably. Each delegation will represent a member nation of the United Nations. The countries most popular with college students this year are the Arab and Communist nations. These countries are among the most active members of the 23rd session of the United Nations General Assembly. Graduate Study Miss Jane Guy from the University of Tennessee Graduate School of Social Work will be on campus Thursday, Nov. 21 to talk with Juniors and Seniors that are interested in Graduate Study in Social Work.

Anyone having any information of this machine should contact Dr. Renfro. A reward is offered. affairs. Dr. W. Newton Turner, who holds that position, will also become director of the summer school. This change, Pow said, is in keeping with the rapid development of the summer school as a full, "fourth quarter," part of the instructional program. Change from a separate function to an integrated part of the acedemic structure had been recommended by faculty studies and by the summer school office. Emphasis in the future development of the summer program will be directed toward an expanding graduate curriculum, Pow stated. Public relations functions will be distributed among other administrative offices, including the office of vice president for administration, and the office of public information. In seeking to develop a campus- wide public relations "awareness," Pow said specialized members of the entire faculty and staff will -be involved through their contacts with professional and other groups in the state and elsewhere. Alumni activities, previously associated with the public relations division, will be assigned to a full-time director of alumni affairs to be employed soon. Little Theater To Present Oedipus November 20-23 The Little Theatre at Western Carolina University will present "Oedipus Rex" Wednesday through Saturday, Nov. 20-23. The play, a Greek tragedy written by Sophocles, will be directed by Wayland Winstead, Winstead is a veteran of the LTC stage. A senior from Sanford, he brings to the production much experience as an actor and director as well as a varied technical background. The cast principal characters are Robert Hollister as Oedipus, Susan Magness portrays Jocasta, and Steve Carlisle in the role of Creon. Hollister, a junior from Southwick, Mass., is also a seasoned performer on the Cullowhee stage. After this production, however, the theatre will lose this valued member. He will leave the stage temporarily for a European tour. Teiresias, the blind prophet, is played by Julian Hirt, a member of the WCU faculty. Phone Gripes To Be Heard Norman McKinney, the regional marketing manager for the Western Carolina Telephone Co., will be in a conference with the utilities committee and members of the administration in order to evaluate complaints of the students of WCU over the telephone service. The student complaints should be submitted through forms found below in the West ern Carolinian and additional forms to be found in the classroom buildings and dormitories. These complaint forms are to be placed in drop boxes which will be in the dorms, classroom buildings and cafeterias. All complaints should be submitted before Thursday, November 21. Some valid complaints would be the fact that it is very dif ficult to reach an operator in order to place a long distance call, that it is virtually impossible for a long distance call to reach Cullowhee. Another complaint would be that it is difficult to obtain a dial tone when attempting to place a local call. All students are urged to submitt valid complaints in that they may be a means of improving the telephone service. (TEAR ON SOLID BLACK LINE) NAME TELEPHONE COMPLAINT FORM Student Utilities Comm.
