  • Thursday, December 5,1968 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 3 Married Students Speak On Their College Life By KAKI HOWARD What is it like to a married student at WCU? Almost like being any other student you might answer. From random interviews of the 657 husbands and wives here, this seems to be true with some qualifications. There are a few important differences. The problem of money, jobs, housing, and studies often take on different meanings when a student changes his marital status. The most important worry of several couples is money. Either tine couples interviewed are self-supporting of recieve parental aid. Dickie and Deborah Redfern are examples of a self-supporting couple. He is an ex-GI after serving in the Army for two years. As such Dickie qualifies, for the GI Bill he is also on Work-Study. Both the Redferns are in school. He is a freshman in business and Deborah is a junior French major. Out of his Work-Study salary and GI allotment, the Redferns pay liv ing expences and school tuition; they also make car and trailor payments. Tommy and Linda Canipe budget the money they recieve from both sets of parents and the money from his summer savings for similar expences. Tommy is a junior social science major; Linda plans to return to school next fall. Abudget based on the average of 18 married couples' sample budgets submitted to the Student Aids Office totals$ 3686. This budget estimates living cost for a married couple in the Cullowhee area for one full year. It is exclusive of school cost. The items on the budget are: Housing $1003.00 Food and Household supplies 902.00 Transportation 575.00 Medical, Dental, Insurence 188.00 Child Care 220.00 Other 798.00 Both the Redferns and the Canipes estimate their yearly budgets as falling within this A-B May Affiliate With Greater UNC System From the Asheville Citizen One of WCU's sister colleges in the western part of the state, Asheville-Biltmore College, moved a step closer to university status Monday, when the University of North Carolina board of trustees approved a proposal to make a campus of the University. The trustees also endorsed a plan to make Wilmington College a part of the Consolidated University. The proposal on the two schools must also be approved by the State Board of Higher Education and by the General Assembly. The trustees, meeting in the Faculty Club of North Carolina State University, approved a recommendation by a special study committee which proposed that the two schools be called the University of North Who's Who .. .

They rejected a substitute plan by Watts Hill Sr. of Durham which would have designated the institutions Asheville College of UNC and Wilmington College of UNC. Hill's plan also would have called for legislation to prohibit the schools from granting doctoral degrees. The study committee's plan emphasized that the institutions should be developed as undergraduate campuses, but did not rule out the possibility of adding advanced graduate programs at some future times. Dr. William E. Highsmith, Asheville-Biltmore president, attended the trustees' meeting and said later the action "is indeed gratifying to all of us." Dr. Highsmith said, "We at Asheville-Biltmore College have been working for years to develop an undergraduate liberal arts college of high quality. Santa Shops Early -Why Don't yoo?

As Linda Canipe has found out getting a job in the campus area is another problem. Since the Student Aids Office can make no special effort to help married students, there are often cases in which the couple can find no work, Lonnie and Rose Alexander have luckily soiveti this problem, Lonnie, a business major, works at Cody's Service Station after finishing clasps Queen Campus Apartments, the Laurel Hill Apartments, and University Apartments — all new in the past three years," "there have also been four new trailor parks in the last two years," he concluded. Both the Rederns and the Canipes live in trailers in nearby parks. "Even with these expanding facilities, I am anticipating still more progress. There willhae to be as the number of returning Vietnam veternans, many of whom are married, grows." their same pre-marriage friends, Rachel Hensley Smith is an example of another type of married student' at Western. Rachel is living in a dormitory while her husband Mike is in the Air Force stationed at Cheyenne, Wyoming, She lives in Allbright where she is key girl. Even though Rachel receives no parental aid, she does not qualify for Work Study. "The Student Aid Office won't accept Mike's income for consideration- my elegibility for financial assistance is still based on my parents' income," says Rachel, "The fact that a student gets married does not make them financially independent of their parents in the eyes of the regulations," says Glenn Hardesty, Student Aid Officer, "We still have to expect contributions from the parents for the student the same as before he was married." What is it like to be a married student at WCU? Just ask Tommy and Linda, Dickie and Deborah, Lonnie and Rose, or Rachel for further information, Setback From page 4 MODERN APARTMENTS AVAILABLE BUT COST IS HIGH, Rose, a graduate of WCU, works as a teachers aid at Scott's Creek Elementary School. Finding suitable housing is yet another headache for marr ied couples. There are no uni versity supported facilities, but the Housing Department does have a list of available off- campus housing. "There are plenty of nice unfurnished places but it is hard to find reasonably priced furnished apartments in this area," says Rose Alexander. "There are a lot of vacancies not on the college list." The housing situation for married couples has improved over the past three years, according to James Barnwell, Housing Director. "There has been a lot of expansion in that area," says Barnwell. "For example, there are the Andrew Barnwell concluded. All three couples interviewed agree that the University should provide some of the needed housing. However, "There are no plans at present for a WCU-sponsored married housing," says Frank Brown vice-President of WCU. The area that presents the least trouble was that of studies and grades. In each case marrage seemed to make studying easier, especially for the husband. Any change in the social life of the couples depended upon the individual pair. TheCanipesa- gree that they spend a lot of time with other married couples but still remain active in Tommy's fraternity affairs. Dickie Redfern says he and Deborah have pretty much the same kind of social life as before marriage. According to Rose, the Alexanders have cut down on trips to the movies in Asheville but still see many of a special session of the state legislature to force a settlement. That action, however, according to many people in the city, could mean the end of the decentralization plan for which many of the communities have been hoping for so long. Meanwhile, with the strike now going into its third month, the estimated 5,000 students who would be graduating in January will have almost no chance of getting into college by second semester. Now Mayor John Lindsay isaskingthatthe school year be extended at least one month into the summer to make up for the time lost so far. That will mean little chance for summer school for those seniors interested. What it adds up to so far is a summer vacation which has now lasted almost five months. That's fine with some of the city's school children, but, as one school official said, "There are about 40,000 seniors and 80,000 parents in this city who aren't happy at all."
