  • Supplement Page 2 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN . JS»»4g* ". . . .It is imperative that the regional university. . .must survive." "If we let population growth run wild, we will have four hundred million people in this country by 2000. ..." ''College youth today. . . are basically the same as they were fifty years ago when I entered college. Killian replies to Carolinian questions It should be understood that the replies as here presented represent my personal, in the mnin, off-the-cuff, reactions as I see the situation at this time. After talking in my district to thousands of people, some of whom will represent insti tutions, agencies, or units of local government, my thinking will undoubtedly change con siderably, My views will also be changed by in-depth analy ses which I shall make, They will be further changed by my study of various commission reports. Finally, discussions in the legislature will certainly influence my thinking If el ected senator from thisdistri-jt, I pledge my constituency that I will do my best to keep informed and to represent them to the very best of my ability. If elected I PROMISE 10 look to individual institutions and agcn cies for guidance in setting goals, directions, and priorities. 1. Basically, North Carolina why are Senate? you running for the All my adult life I have been interested in government. In fact, I was brought up to believe that this was a necessity of good citizenship. For the past twenty-two years I have been involved in state government. These involvements, among others, have in eluded the chairmanship of a legislative commission on exceptional children and a committee ot the Board of Higher Education on extension active ties. I have had assignments in the administration of every governor from Kerr Scott to the present. When I retired at the end of June, 1968, I had ten state, regional, and national assign ments other than my university ones. These assignments cut across almost as many units, or facets, of government. This rich background of ex perience leads me to feel that I can malte a genuinely substantive contribution to my re- gion and to my state. I further feel that it is my duty to offer myself for the high office of senator from this district, 2. What is your concept of a regional university? This question can be answered only by stating what we mean bytheterm "REGIONAL" and what we mean by ihe term "UNIVERSITY." The term "university"' is de> fined for the purpose of this paper as an institution that has A BROAD OFFERING of courses in the arts and sciences and in professional and techni cal fields organized on a basis acceptable to the accrediting agencies. It should have an approved master's program before it entertains any idea of becoming a university. It will then be ready to move into the programs beyond the masters and hopefully will become qualified to offer doctorates in professional fields. It should not, however, offer the pure research - oriented doctorate, the Ph. D. In the main its post master's work will be on a sub- doctorial level. Its offerings will be unique in that many of its baccalaureate and masters programs and all of its post masters or sub- doctoral programs will be intended to SEND PEOPLE OUT ON THE FIRING LINE. The carrier ladder should be left open, however, for people in these programs to transfer, on the basis of qualifying examinations or professional evidence to the Chapel Hill or Ra leigh Ph. D. programs, There should not be a lot of m. nkey business abou1. the admission procedure in the case of trans fers. I was admitted to the Ph. D. program in psychology at Oiiio State without even having had Psychology I, for example The main consideration seemed •ightly to be their judgment of whether I could do the work. THE UNIQUE THING ABOUT THE REGIONAL UNIVERSITY IS ITS "OUTREACH" FUNCTION (S). In 1959 the N. C. Board of Higher Education established a committee on extension activities. This committee consisted of a staff member of the boar J, tie provost and director of graduate studies from the consolidated office and the directors of extension, graduate deans, and an undergraduate academic dean from each of the state institutions with organized extension divisions, The schools involved were A & T, UNC-CH, UNC-G,UNC- Raleigh, Appalachian, East Carolina, and Western Caro- lina. The corn mittr-e elected me as hairman This is mentioned because '.he work of this com nittee is most pertinent to the "regional" university concept and in the opinion of some was the im.uriiate thingresponsiblefor its being launched. Alter many hours of d's cusiion we decided that from the .tandpoint of program? the term "REGION" could be DEFINED ONLY ON A FUNCTIONAL BASIS, The statement mat emmated went something like this—the functions of a given school will depend on the appropriateness of the school to perform the function and after consultation with all parties concerned Our region might be the vil lage of Cullowhee, Jackson County, The State of Franklin, Western North Carolina, North Carolina, the Southeast, the United States, the world, according to our ability to perform the function at hand. In fact at the timo of the above discussion we were probably the outstanding school in the southeast in the field of special education. A THIRD Ca^RACTERLSTlC OF A REGIONAL UNIVERSITY IS THAT THE WHOLE UNIVERSITY IS ORGANIZED AND COMMITTED TO RF.GIONAL DEVELOPMENT. Faculty should be employed with this in mind, an J it should be so stated in the contract, Not all faculty members would formally participate, but those who do would be paid for the part relating to off-campus work or evening and Saturday work at a somewhat higher rate than the rest of the contract A small number of people would be full time on adult higher education and service programs, but much of this would destroy the spirit of the whole endeavor. These institutions would have organized divisions of continuing education and professional service. This division would have administrative responsibility for much of the program and would coordinate all university and regional programs. Staff members from other institutions and agencies, businesses, ETC. wouldbecar- ried on its roster of staff. In addition to course work there would be many services ranging all the way from delivery of direct services to complicated consultative services. A FOURTH CHARACTERISTIC OF THE REGIONAL UNIVERSITY IS ITS RELATIONSHIP TO ITS COMMUNITIES. In the past there have been three stages in the develop m-.nt of this relationship. First, it was a matter of the university assisting the community. Then we moved into a reciprocal relationship, and now we are moving into many GENUINE PARTNERSHIPS. By actually working together we ire finding that both groups can have things that neither could have other wise, A good example is the clinic complex at WCU. A FIFTH requirement of a regional university is that it have an ORGANIZED PROGRAM OF RESEARCH DELATING TO COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT. This does not mean that w* would give up other types of research. 3. What do you consider the future of such institutions in North Carolina? In my opinion it is imperative that the regional university along the lines here set forth m:.:st survive. Unfortunately the original four regional universities were established in the waning days of the 1967 General Assembly without any clear idea of what the concept was all about and worst of all with no additional funding to carry out the idea^ Without any clear idea of what to do or any funds to do it with, these schools were given until the 1971 session as I remember it, as a trial period to see how well they could do it To further confound the confusion, the last session of the General Assembly turned Pembroke and all the predominately Negro institutions into regional universities. In addition the other colleges were made units of UNC, In other words all the state colleges in North Carolina became universities. This even beat the record of Charlotte College which, if I remember correctly, grew from a community college to a unit of UNC in one year. If the next session of the General Assembly does as well as the past two have, we should have a system of technical institute universities. For it to succeed the regional university must be taken seriously. There should be a unit in the Board of Higher Education devoting full time to the de= velopment and coordination of the outreach functions of these schools. In bringing business, industry, education, and government together for cooperative planning and development this unit can perform a tremendous function. Our 1963 session of the legislature actually set this up as a result of the previous study but the funds were later diverted for the use of the long range planning group, and the Red Brick University Concept was forgotten. 4. What is your position with regard to student representation on the Boards of Trustees of North Carolina's sixteen state- supported schools? I favor student representation on the Boards of Trustees of North Carolina's sixteen stiie- supported schools. I favor such representation by the president of the student body or his designee or a person elected by the st ident body specifically for this purpose, but for participation in open sessions only and without the right to vote. Boards of Trus tees should be lay bodies acting officially for the state on policy matters. Voting with a student president which would be followed by other groups following suit would be like voting with a gun pointing at you. To state it differently the main function of this person and 'tis counterpart from other groups should be ADVISORY IN NATURE ONLY. suggestions and will be glad to ,i;-„..„o:„_ i om norfirularly I invite youth to give me ^^n^,,, „,„. „ - meet with them for further discussion.
