The Western Carolinian VOICE OF THE STUDENTS Vol. XXXVI, No. 18 Stafford to appear for UCB William Stafford, the present poetry consultant to the Library of Science will speak on Thursday, October 5, at 8 p.m. in the Cherokee Room of the University Center. Currently reading on the North Carolina Poetry Circuit, Stafford is being sponsored by UCB. He has received the National Book Award and the Shelley Memorial Award for ooetrvand also won the 1970 Chicago TRIBUNE Award. He holds a Guggenheim Fellowship. Stafford is the author of four books including WEST OF YOUR CITY, TRAVELING THROUGH THE DARK, THE RESCUED YEAR, and ALLEGIANCES. Lewis Simpson, a 1964 Pulitzer Prize winner states, "Mr. Stafford is a true poet, If ever this country is to have a sense of itself, it will be through work like Stafford's." Recently, an issue of the Tennessee Poetry Journal considered his poetry "major"and some of his lyrics were called "great," Stafford has been called a "gentle" man. The themes of his poetry are personal and large. He speaks of the land and the American way, and in a sense, his poetry is religious. He is reputed to be an ex- cellent reader who radiates warmth and generosity. Stafford is chairman of the English Department at Lewis and Clarke College in Portland, Oregon and holds a Ph. D, from the State University Iowa. Born in 1914 in Hutchinson, Kansas, Stafford is married and has several children. Political Science eliminates P.L By a majority vote of the Student-Faculty Advisory Committee for Political Science it was decided to recommend that courses in the Department of Health and Physical Education be eliminated from the General Education requirements and that this recommendation be transmitted to other departmental student-faculty advisory committees. The committee is composed of 12 students (3 from each class) who were elected by the political science majors, and 3 faculty members. "The purpose of this committee is to provide a forum for discussion of matters of mutual concern..." This discussion is open-ended = any matter may be discussed by the committee which is of concern to any person in the political science department. The political science committee stated that they hope other departments show their concern by forming similar committees. These committees may form a significant basis for action by the various departments _ and interaction within these departments. November 5, 1970 Western Carolina University Cullowhee, N.C. Pow sets Student Convocation plans POET WILLIAM STAFFORD Men with high lottery numbers may escape draft by going 1-A before Under an advisory memorandum sent by National Selective Service Director Curtis Tarr to all local draft boards rec ently, such men may voluntarily relinquish their deferments and enter the 1-A pool. System Spokesmen are quite confident that no registrant with a lottery number higher than 195 will be called this year, unless there is a declaration of war or a national emergency which requires massive mobilization. At the end of the year, those men whose numbers have not been reached by their local boards and who are classified 1-A, 1-A-0, or 1=0 are moved to a second priority pooL Men have not been called from this second priority pool or its equivalent under the old system since the Korean War. Registrants with high numbers who wish to take advantage of this opportunity to take the draft off their backs may write a brief letter to their draft board asking to be reclassified 1-A immediately. Any registrant who does so is taking a slight chance that the system might suddenly decide that it needs many more men than it is presently planning to take and should think carefully about this possibility, however slight, It does appear, from all indications presently available, that the ceiling of 195 will be valid. This rule of course only effects men who turned 19 or older during calendar year 1969. Those turning 19 this year were not in the first priority pool and therefore will be placed in it on January 1,1971. Therefore, this escape route is dangerously uncertain for men not yet in this year's pool who are under 20 years old. Nextyear's lottery ceiling number could be any number at all, and no one can make any predictions about it, Board of Visitors established at Western Carolina Establishment of a regional "Board of Visitors" at Western Carolina University has been announced by Dr. Alex S. Pow, WCU president. John Parris of Sylva, noted author and newspaper columnist, has been named temporary chairman of the new board, an organization designed to increase the regional and statewide support of the university. The Board of Visitors will be made up of more than 130 persons committed to assist in the advancement of the institution, and to increase its service to western North Carolina, the state, and the nation. Representatives of cities, counties, community organizations, business, industry, agriculture, government, public education, the news media, foundations, and philanthropic organizations have accepted mem bership on the board. The board will hold its first meeting at WCU Nov. 14, at which time officers will be elected and the formal organization of the board completed. Twenty or 25 students will be invited to meet with the board, said Pow, in order for the students to gain an under standing of the group and for the group to better understand WCU's students. In announcing the new board, Pow said, "for many years, Western Carolina University has enjoyed the friendship and support of thousands of North Carolinians and residents of other states. Now, a Board of Visitors is being formed to help the University perfect Its mission of service, andtobring to the university the suggestions, advice, and other assistance of interested friends." Plans for a Student Convo<- cation have been released by Alex S. Pow, Western Carolina University president. The program planned will be a report to the students on plans and accomplishments of the University by the Presidentand his administrative staff and will be held Thursday, Nov. 12, at 3:00 p.m. in the Grandroom, University Center. Plans call for a segment of the convocation to be reserved for a question and answer period. The Annual Report to the Board of Trustees, which will serve as a format for the convocation, was presented by Pow last Saturday, Oct, 31, at the board's regular meeting, In order to give a more comprehensive understanding of the report and the convocation, Pow stated that copies of the An-' nual Report were being made available to interested students. Copies will be placed on reserve in the Library and will be available on request in the Student Development Office and at the University Center information desk on the ground floor. Beethoven festival coning The Western Carolina University Lecture, Concert, and Exhibition Committee has announced plans for a month- long festival celebrating the bi- centennial of the birth of Beethoven. A lecture by Dr. Betsy Far- low, WCU assistant professor of music history and literature, on the "Aspects of the Beethoven Personality" will be presented at 8:15 p.m.Thursday, November 5, in Hoey Auditorium. Dr. Farlow's lec^ ture will include the major influences on Beethoven's career, his political views, his radical attitude concerning the artist in society, the difficulties of his personal life, and his importance in the total picture of music history. Other programs planned during the month will include a seminar and two recitals by the Ciompi String Quartet from Duke University and the Stein- erius Duo from the University of Alabama playing the entire cycles of the violin and piano sonatas of Beethoven. The final program will feature Paul Badura-Skoda, internationally known pianist, in a program of piano sonatas. Dr. Farlow is a graduate of Guilford College, Union Theological Seminary, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She has done additional graduate work at the University of Wisconsin. An active organist, she has served as a church musician for Quaker, Presbyterian, Congregational, Episcopalian, Methodist, and Lutheran churches. While in Madison, Wisconsin, she served as dean of the Madison Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. In presenting the report last Saturday, Pow told the Board of Trustees that major goals and objectives for the further development of the institution this year have been formulated, and special "task force" groups of faculty members, administrators, and students have been appointed to help accomplish or achieve progress toward them. "Our objectives," he said, "are to accelerate and improve the academic and physical planning and development of the university; develop further and rapidly programs of continuing education and extension; access vigorously present and desirable other services to the region and beyond, and refine and develop university service programs; improve the in- tellictual and cultural tone and physical environment of the Cullowhee campus; improve the processes of the university; and define further the appropriate role of students within the institution as learners, participants in decision-making,and citizens." Dr. Pow's report contained words of praise for student leadership through the Student Government Association, the student newspaper and other groups and organizations. He said, "The university...re- mained free from the conflict and strife that disrupted many campuses during 1969-70. The theme of our campus, generally, was accord rather than opposition..." The Student Government Association, he said, provided "able leadership for the campus, and...worked for improvement of the university and the enhancement of its image throughout the State." The faculty, he said, "is one that is publishing, resear - ching, and engaging in service to the region, state, and nation." As a result of vigorous recruitment programs and retention policies, more than 49 per cent of the faculty as of June 30 held doctoral degrees. A Faculty Convocation, using the same format as the Student Convocation, is planned for the following day, Nov. 13, at 3:00 p.m. in the Grandroom. Marr appointed assistant prof. Dr. J. Michael Marr, assistant professor of marketing at WCU, has been appointed director of the WCU Economic Development Center. The center, established last year, works in a28-countyarea of North Carolina and on the Cherokee Indian Reservation with a broad technical assistance program designed to provide new employment opportunities and raise incomes through industrial development activities. Dr. Marr joined the WCU School of Business faculty in the fall of 1969. Previously, he was on the faculty of Presbyterian College for three years.
