WCU gains another Patron of Quality THE WESTERN CAROLIAN Page 3 Hillbilly power needed Northwestern Bank recently joined a growing list of Patrons of Quality of Western Carolina University with a pledge of $10,000 to the University. Presentation of the Northwestern pledge to WCU was made by F. Carl Barman of Spruce Pine, executive vice president of the bank. Harman is a trustee of WCU. The Patrons of Quality campaign, begun in June throughout the state and region, is enlisting individuals,corpor- atiotis, foundation, and others in a 10-year program of private financial support for the University to supplement its state appropriations and other federal and contracts support, The Patrons of Quality funds will be used to strengthen the University in a wide variety of ways. One of the important needs, according to Dr. Alex S. Pow, WCU president, is funds for scholarships to be awarded to superior students. "Present public and private scholarships," Dr. Pow said, "are not sufficient to meet the needs of able and needy students, mum less toattractsuperior students*" One of the realities that higher education faces, Dr. Pow pointed out, is the "great competition among universities for superior students. At a minimum, a competitive scholarship at Western Carolina will require about $1,000 a year." Interns held seminar Friday On Friday, July 31, the interns of the Appalachia region held a seminar at Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa Valley, North Carolina. It was a one day seminar with all of Appalachla's interns invited including those of WCU. About 50 interns attended the one day seminar. The interns were greeted at WWC by the dean of the school, Dr. Henry Jensen at Bannerman Hall, after coffee and conversation at the dining hall. After being welcomed, the interns were entertained by Den nis Shaw's "Images of Appalachia." Shaw is an intern from' WWC "Images of Appalachia1" was a film shown on a huge screen, Four different film strips were viewed at toe same time. To make the film more effective, Shaw used modern pop music as the hackeround music. At the conclusion of the film. Shaw spoke briefly of the purpose of the summer internship. He summarized by saying that an intern must respect toe people and their culture, not try to shove their mores on the Appalachians. Mr. Glenn C Tranthan, Field Coordinator of the Youth Leadership Development Project was in charge of the meeting. Tranthan turned toe morning seminar over to a panel which was composed of Mr. Jim Bran-. some, toe Youth Counselor for the Appalachia region and Mr. Bob Sigmon, Director of N„ C. Internship office, Bransome spoke briefly on the dreams of his Appalachia. He said "There is black power, red power, green power, but there was no hillbilly ppwer." He also stated, "Appalachia has more to offer America with its unique culture, than America has to offer Appalachia." Bransome also suggested that education should be a regional development, not a federal one. Explaining this Bransome said that if the blacks wanted a black oriented school, where they teach their children what WCU Placement Service is successful-Waters In spite of reports that job recruitment has fallen off this year at colleges across the nation, the Business and Industrial Placement Service at Western Carolina University has just completed another successful year. According to placement center director Leland R, Waters, WCU has not experienced the severe cutback in recruiters' visits that many other institutions suffered this year. Although visits by prospective employers did not increase as much this year as in the past, the WCU placement center arranged nearly 1,000 interviews for graduating seniors and alumni. ' 'Unlike many colleges and universities, we did not have an increase in interview cancellations," Waters said, About 60' different companies and governmental agencies sent representatives to toe center to interview students during the school year. Many other companies solicited applications from qualified students without actually visiting the center. Starting salaries continued to rise this year, Waters said, although toe increase was not as great as in the past two or three years. The greatest increases in salary offers were in outside sales, retailing, and banking. Starting salaries being offered to WCU graduates ranged from $7,000 to $10,000, he said, The students themselves may have become discouraged by reports of the national business slowdown. About 200 students registered with the center this year. Normally, registrations are somewhat higher. Military obligation and draft status are seen by the center as the prime reasons why some students have not received job offers. The WCU placement center, which is located in toe new School of Business building, serves all WCU students and alumni who are interested in positions in business or industry, A separate center serves students entering toe teaching field.

Each individual had equal opportunity to express himself. As Bransome said, "We lose the ability to deal with experiences in a class, but this Internship gives toe student a chance to deal with our experiences, It's a cross culture experience." After lunch, toe seminar met in Carson Classroom. They were divided into several small groups. In these groups, they discussed the joys and frustrations of their internship.
