TheWESTERN CAROLINIAN VOICE OF THE STUDENTS VOL. XXXV NO. 23 Thu rsday, Janua rySr 1969 CULLOWHEE, N.C. Attendance Rule Questioned But Not Sick Enough The rumor that classes may be suspended due to the outbreak of influenza among the students has no basis. T. L„ Huskins, Dean of Student Affairs announced Wednesday that the outbreak is no where near an epidemic stage. Over 120 cases of flu have been reported to Graham Infirmary, however, 120 cases among over 4,500 students does not constitute an epidemic. The infirmary reports that the number of cases seems to be dropping off, which means the chance of classes being suspended is even more remote. By: KEN BALL In the past, some members of the faculty have been rumored to lower a student's grade for escesslve absences. The Student Government Association wishes to inform the Student Body that: The Faculty Cannot Lower a Student's Grade Because of Absencesll If a faculty member feels that a student is over cutting, he may report the student to the Dean of the School, but he does not have the right to lower the student's grade. Certain members of the faculty use the following trick. They inform the students that their attendance counts a^cer^ tain per-centage of their total grade, such as a grade for participation. Student Body President Charles Sutton had the following comments on the situation. "I am surprised that some faculty members are taking such a superficial and insecure approach." Sutton went on to say, "We are In the process of revamping class attendance regulations and we can in no better way support our position than by pointing out these instances of faculty abuses of a student's right to be responsible for the attainment of his education. We want to make It clear to the students that a professor does not have the right to lower a grade because of absences. If a student feels that his grade has been lowered for this reason, we urge that he contact myself or Dr. Turner." Mr, Sutton continued, "I regret to report no definite action has been taken on our proposed class attendance re= gulations. In essence, this proposal is that there be no class attendance as such. We strongly feel that a student should be responsible for his Notice All Students planning to take student teaching during 69=70 ssiwe;. year should meet at '£ -3r 1 pm or 4 pm in room 104 Ki;:Iian Tuesday, Jan. 21, 1969. This meeting is imperative. Construction Projects Begin by kaki Howard Over $400,000 of new construction has been recently completely or is in progress on the WCU campus. Bids for an additional two dormitories and classroom building will be taken between now and February, says James Kirkpatrick, Business Manager. Ten of the 16 dwellings in the new Faculty Housing are already filled. The other six are ready for occupancy. The Faculty Housing Complex was built by P. and B. Construction Company of Waynesvilie for $280,000. A new warehouse behind Reid Gym will be officially accepted by the University within the next week or ten days. It will be used to store office and main- ten ance supplies. W.B. Dillard Construction Company of Sylva contracted the warehouse for $40,000. Additions and renovations to the President's Home began six weeks ago, and are scheduled for completion by March 15. The works consists of adding three bedrooms, a family room, and enlarging the library. The James E. Cochran Construction Company bidded the job at $60,000. Hoey Auditorium is also receiving a face-lifting which should be finished around, the first of February. A new floor covering, carpeted aisles, new drapes and stage curtains and all new seats well be added. The auditorium will also be repainted. Associated Con~ Structors of Skyland are the contractors for $50,000. Bids have now been opened for two new dormitories=-each for 400 occupants—and a new Fine and Industrial Arts Build ing, The new men's dorm will be built in the trailer park beside Benton. The new women's dorm will be at the west endof the nine-story dorm. Bidding should be completed by February. Although the opening of bids on some of the projects was late, most of the construction work is on schedule. own education. This does not mean that we need a faculty member to impose any class at= tendance regulations, to give daily 'pop' tests, or use any other device they employ to assure a student's presence in their class." There have been reports that students with the flu are being forced to attend classes because professors will not excuse them. The Infirmary Is filled and cannot give the ill student an excuse since they ask him to remain in the dorm, and the Dorm Hostess cannot excuse a student from class. This presents a difficulty for the student who cannot afford three of four unexcused absences. A student with this problem is urged to come by the Student Government office and see Charles Sutton or go by and talk to Dr. Turner. Students To Vote On Alumni Association Support Question RENOVATION OF HOEY AUDITORIUM IN PROCESS Next Thursday, January 22, the students of WCU will be asked to make a decision on an issue that has been debated for some time. This issue deals with whether or not the students should continue paying $3 per year out of their Student Activity Fee to the Alumni Association. The Student Body will be given an opportunity to make their decision in a referendum Thursday, Day Students can vote on the second floor of the University Center from9-5pm. Dormitory students will be allowed to cast their ballots from 12 noon to 8 o'clock Thursday night. Students will receive a ballot bearing this statement: I am in favor of continuing the $1.00 per quarter fee paid to the Alumni Association, presently collected as part of the Student Activity Fee. yes no In an issue of the Western Carolinian last quarter, Student Body President, Charles Sutton, made the following statements. After our last Infamous Appropriations Committee meeting, I have been very concerned about one Item In our deductions column—Alumni (3500 x $3) equals $10, 500. This money is of course from our activity fee. I can hardly see our Alumni Association being a student activity. We need a strong Alumni As= sociation and we as potential alumni should help our Alumni Association even while we are still in school, but I believe FINANCIAL support is asking too much. Especially when we still have campus student organizations which are in dire need of funds. I do not believe I have ever heard of any other college or university student body fi= nancially contributing to their alumni~the reverse is usually true. Oar Alumii Association has been called weak, and I feel our financial contributions to them causes them to be even weaker. Our alumni should feel more responsibleto their alma mater and should meet any financial obligations they may have. I do not have a quick answer as to how to strengthen our Alumii Association. But I do have an answer to the question "Should we students contribute part of our activity fee to the Alumni Association?" I think not, , *************************** In a following issue, Mr. C. Edwin Allman, President of the Alumni Association, presented the Alumni Association's feelings on the issue in the following letter: Dear Editor: Please permit me to com" ment on some of the remarks appearing In "From the Presi- dent's Desk" in the Nov. 5th issue of The Western Carolinian, having to do with the Alumni Association. First, let me mention some of the ways in which the alumni funds are spent. At the present time, eight students at Western Carolina University are receiving scho° larships -- some full, and some partial — from the alumni funds, These recipients are chosen in open competition and screened by a special alumni committee.
