It is to act as a medium between Enrollment at WCU expected to jump by 400 DAVID HEARST The enrollment of WCU is expected to be raised by 400 students for Fall Quarter '71. According to Dr. Herb F.

Sixty-six athletes honored Tuesday night at Fall Sports Banquet A total of 66 athletes received awards last Tuesday night at the 2nd Annual Western Carolina University Fall Sports Awards Banquet held in the Grandroom of the UC. The featured speaker at the event which honored athletes in cross-country, soccer, and football was Dr. Wallace N. Hyde. Dr. Hyde is the chairman of the board of trustees at WCU. Also an extremely successful AshevUle businessman, Hyde spoke to the group on the formula for success. "The simple formula for success is two-fold," Hyde said, "first, you must have a game plan, and secondly you must carry it out with plain old fashioned determination and hard work." Speaking of WCU athletics Hyde went on to say that "you gentlemen out there have already been so successful that you nearly put us out of business." He was referring to that fact that WCU is presently finding it difficult to get teams to schedule with them. "Once it was easy to schedule competition against us. They regarded Western Carolina as a win for them. This is no longer the case. They can not look on us as a win now. I realize our facilities are not very good now, but in the past the faculties were comparable with the teams." After the opening speech by Hyde awards were presented in the three varsity sports which achieved a combined won-lost record of 44-13. Soccer in 1970 achieved k lr2 irscord taiM^mi, 3rd in the final NAIA standings. Coach Charles Schrader presented the top team trophies to Duck Thomas-most improved,' Harry Foley-MVP offense, and Ken Marshburn-MVP defense. For cross-country, who had a 27-7 record, Coach Roger Thomas awarded the top team trophies to Eddie Perrv-most improved, and Terry Helms MVP. Neufeld no longer head Dr. Charles M.

According to Ur. U a. urew- ry, dean of the School of Business at WCU, Dr. Neufeld will continue his administrative duties until June 30. "Dr. Neufeld's research commitments have recently expanded to include major projects on land-use planning and local taxation, as well as a textbook revision," Dr. Drew- ry said. "The university naturally must give priority to those activities, although wc greatly regret that we shaU be deprived of his valuable administrative skills." CONTINUED Page 3....

WCU President Dr. Alex S. Pow commented in closing that "we have reached a new day in WCU athletics when we speak of national rankings, of a foot- ball player outstanding in the political science department, of a WCU soccer player being honored who is from HongKong, and of a football player who could not be here to receive his award because he is student teaching in South America." Pow also stated that "athletics are a credit to WCU and demonstrated to the university community a goal for which we should all strive that you do, you should try hard to do well." Reinhard reported that the contractors for the residence halls have insured the completion of at least one of the residence halls by the beginning of fall quarter. James Kirkpatriek, the university business manager, said that, though the contract date for completion is Nov. 3, officials in the company told him that "with favorable weather conditions" they hoped to have the halls completed by September. Reinhard stated that the university, "beginning now*' was accepting students to increase the enrollment by 400.

Reinhard mentioned possibly the Jarrett House in DUlsboro, Junaluska Assembly and temporary housing in private homes with transportation furnished by the university.
