  • The Western Carolinian VOICE OF THE STUDENTS Vol. XXXVI, No. 45 Thursday, April 15, 1971 Western Carolina University Cullowhee, N.C 'Athletics - academics' dominates rap session A NEWS ANALYSIS By W. WAT HOPKINS Associate Editor Athletic scholarships versus academic scholarships was the dominating topic of the second administrative rap session, which was held last night, The rap session, on the second floor of the university center, began with a discussion of academics versus athletic, and except for a few spasmodic deviations, that is where it remained throughout the two hours that the session lasted. Mike Baker, a sophomore that dominated the student discussion, asked President Pow what his reaction would be to an ad hoc committee requesting the transfer of some money for a new stadium to purely academic scholarships. President Pow replied, "1 don't think we need such a committee." Baker's response was a quotation of figures for athletics versus academic scholarships, then "That's absurd." And for the most part, that's the way things went, Several times President Pow and Baker asked the other if he might finish a statement or question. After two hours, neither side had convinced the other of its point. And though both sides understood the point the other was trying to make, there was no agreement at the end of the two hours. Three fresh questions were put to President Pow and Dr. Herb Reinhard, vice-president for student development. The administrators were asked their opinions on the new student government constitution, the Black lounge and the appointment of the President of the Student Body to the Board of Trustees. Both President Pow and Dr. Reinhard stated that they felt legislation from student government should have comment and approval or disapproval from the administration. Again, both administrators felt a need for a lounge for the Blacks on campus, whether it be a Black lounge or a Minorities Lounge or an In- tercultural Lounge. In answer to Senator Keith Townsends question of the president of the Student Body being on the Board of Trustees, President Pow said, "I dont think too much of that." He went on to state that he felt such an appointment would not help with the administration of the university. Business building dedicated Friday GREG LOCKEMY, STEVE CARLISLE and Sager Williams Qeft to right) are pictured here in the forum sponsored by student government, Lockemy and Carlisle are presidential candidates. Williams is running unopposed for vice-president. Sen.

Before that, he had served at various times as state representative, state senator, Secretary of State, and governor of Oregon. In 1960, Senator Hatfield delivered the nominating speech for Richard Nixon for President, He served as temporary chairman and keynote speaker for the 1964 Republican National Convention, and, at the 1968 convention, he seconded the nomination of Mr. Nixon, Senator Hatfield serves on the Interior and Insular Affairs Committee, the Aeronautical and Space Sciences Committee, the Senate Select Committee on Small Business, and the Select Committee on Equal Educational Opportunity. Senator Hatfield's appearance wiU be among the highlights of the two-day symposium. Sponsored by the CouncU on International Relations and United Nations Affairs (CIRUNA), the Cullowhee Conference on the Middle East represents an attempt to provide a better understanding of the Mid-East problem.

Morgenthau, eminent political scientist and director of the Center for the Study of American Foreign Policy. Morgenthau will speak on "Rea lities and the Middle East" at 4 p.m. April 23.

Also present wUl be representatives from the embassies of Middle East countries and the U.S. Department of State. Leo Snow, president of the WCU chapter of CIRUNA, said the conference would promote understanding of the realities of the Middle East situation, whUe trying to avoid the cus • ternary Jew vs. Arab emotionalism.

Dr. Charlesworth is president of the National CouncU for Small Business Management Development, and Dr. Oliverio is author and lecturer at Teachers College, Columbia University. At 2:45 p.m. George R. Watts, director of data processing for the State of Indiana, will conduct a forum on the place of Dr. Turner issues development statement The claim that athletics has dominated university development is "patently false" according to Dr. W. Newton Turner, Vice-President of Academic Affairs. Dr. Turner emphasized the fact that WCU is stUl in the preliminary stages of its development program. "We have not arrived, as yet, at a sufficient mass of money to begin to meet the many needs that we have," he added. Justifying his belief that the athletic program is not dominating campus development, Dr. Turner cited several facts which he feels are "clearly to the contrary," He then listed recent progress covering numbers, qualifications, and compensation of faculty members, library development, variety and quality of academic programs, academic buUdings, student opportunities, and regional services. According to Dr. Turner, it is true that WCU needs more academic scholarships. "It is also true that most academic scholarships at the university are directly related to need." He adds that WCU wUl probably continue to increase academic scholarships through Patrons of Quality and other programs. He believes the land on which the present stadium is located is needed for academic expansion. A larger and more appropriate stadium is required to accomodate our expanding university. The building which wUl bear the name of W. Frank Forsyth houses the WCU School of Bus iness, the Computer Center, the Ecomonic Development Center, and the Business and Industrial Placement Office. It provides 63,000 square feet of gross area, including 15 general purpose classrooms, and offices for the dean, four department heads, and 34 faculty members of the WCU School of Business. Forsyth was at one time president of Citizens Bank and Trust Co. of Andrews, anda state senator from the 33rd district. He was a member of the Advisory Budget Commission, and a trustee of WCU. At the time of his death in February, 1970, he was senior vice-president in charge of six Wachovia Bank and Trust Co. offices. computers in business education. Dedication means change in routine The dedication of the School of Business building on Friday, AprU 16, wUl require a few changes in the daUy routine of the University. Parking lots in front of the School of Business buUding and between that building and University Center wiU be closed to faculty, staff, and students aU day Friday to make room for the many visitors expected to attend events connected with the dedication. Pritchard Smith, director of safety and security, announced that barricades to close off the two lots would be put up late Thursday night. People who normally park is one of the lots are encouraged to park in the overflow lot begind Mary White Scott Residence Hall. Except for regularly scheduled classes, the School of Business building wUl be closed Thursday evening to permit university maintenance personnel to clean the buUding prior to Friday's activities. AU organizations that had planned to meet in the business buUding Thursday night should reschedule their meeting place. Denise Schickel launches write-in for president A late runner, Denise S. Schickel, senior political science major, began a write-in campaign for SGA President last night Miss Schickel stated that at the SGA Forum Tuesday night, she realized that she couldbet- ter serve the needs of the stu dents and of the university than could either of the other two candidates.
