VOICE OF THE STUDENTS /OL.XXXIV NO.21 Thursday, January 9, 1969 CULLOWHEE, N.C. WCU Gives Computer Seminar JAMES TAYLOR, FORMER WCU STUDENT TEACHER Student Teachers Meet To Discuss O/ecf/ves By DON HARRIS 46 of the 47 students who are currently doing their practice teaching met January third for the Winter Quarter Orientation and Planning Conference. According to Ben H. Battle, Director of Student Teachers, the purpose of the conference was to pass along essential information to students before they begin their practice teaching. Battle also stated "Another purpose oi uus conierence is to acquaint the student with problems he can expect and what will be expected of him." However, it was announced that the major purpose of this type of conference was to formulate the objectives of the students taking part in the program. In the conference itself, there were two sessions with John Amick presiding at the first and Frederic Muse presiding over the second. Among the speakers at the meeting was Dr. Guy Birchfiel, whose topic was "What My College Supervisor Expects". Another speaker was James Taylor, a former student teacher at WCU, who spoke on "Student Teaching Objectives". Few students know the care that is taken in starting the students on the right foot as they enter the public schools to practice teach. There are college supervisors who form the link between the university and the student teacher while he is in the field. These supervisors are in charge of 20 or less students. The supervisors are Dr. Harold Anderson, Mrs. Anne Hoyle, Dr, Paul Flynn, and Mr. Harry Hurst, A two-day University Computer Seminar- -linking participants to computer-based research centers throughout the United States—will be held at Western Carolina University Thursday and Friday, Jan. 9-10.

Towne House Announces Possible Early Closing Hours The Management of the Towne House, an on Campus eating establishment, has announced the shortening of the hours they will remain open. According to Charles Sutton, President of the Student Body, many students have approached him, expressing their wishes for the Cafe to remain open as late as possible. Sutton met with Winfred Ashe, owner of the Towne House and told of the students concern over the closing hours. Ashe stated that the change in hours was made to allow the employees a night off, but also stated that if enough students expressed their views to him or the employees of the cafe, that the original hours would be reinstated. Sutton urged, "All of the students who wish the hours to remain the same as they have been should make a point of expressing their views to the employees and manage- the employees and management of the Towne House." The reported hour changes are to close at 4 pm on Saturday, 10 pm on week nights, and an early close on Sundays. The University Center Restaurant will be serving Saturday night from 5 pm until 8 pm and Sunday afternoon from 12:00 noon until 2:30 pm.
