  • The Western Carolinian VOICE OF THE STUDENTS VOL. XXXVII, NO. 21 WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY CULLOWHEE, N.C. NOVEMBER 12, 1970 P.E. major allowed to pre-register MYRON KARTMAN, violinist, and WILLIAM HENDERSON, pianist, wUl perform at W.C.U, as part of the Beethoven Festival on November 18-19 in Hoey Auditorium. Violinist, pianist to appear here for Beethoven Festival Myron Kartman, violinist, and Wi.'liam Henderson, pianist, will appear at Western Carolina University Nov., 18-19, as part of the current Beethoven festival at WCU, For their CuUowhee appearance the duo wUl perform the entire cycle of Beethoven piano and violin sonatas. They wUl preface the recitals with a lecture concerning analysis and performance problems related to the sonatas. The lecture will be presented in room 111 of Hoey Building Wednesday, Nov, 18 at 3:00 p.m. The recitals will be pre • Poll shows WCU women ore against coed dorms A poll taken by toe Student Government Association on coeducational dorms and inter- visitation showed that whUe men were all for co-educational dorms, 333 women voted against "co - educational residence halls of any type." The poll questioned students on co-educational residence halls on an alternating section basis (Albright - men, Benton- women), on an alternating floor basis, and on an alternating room basis. On inter-visitation (a policy of informal visitation in which students may "drop in and move from room to room freely on specified days and times,") students were questioned on whether or not they were for it, and on what nights they would like to see the policy be used on. Females questioned numbered 993 and males, 827, giving a total of 1820. Of the 377 students voting against any co-educational residence haUs of any type, 333 of those votes were made by women. On the other hand, though, women's votes made up a large portion of those cast for coeducational residence hails on an alternating bftsis and floors on an alternating basis. Women voted 243 to a male vote of 92 for residence halls being co-educational on an alternating basis. They voted 314 to a male vote of 318 for floors being co-educational on an alternating basis. The men outnumbered the women by far, though, when asked about residence halls being co-educational on an alternating room basis. Four - hundred and fifty three men voted yes on this point, while only 84 women liked the idea. On the inter-visitation policy, the vote was as follows: fo favor of inter-visitation: men, 536-yes, 12-no; women 655-yes, 104-no. Ihter=visit- ation on aU halls Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon until 12 midnight: men, 672- yes; women, 464-yes. Against any inter-visitation: men.ll; women, 117.

The entire series is open to WCU students free and to the public at a nominal charge. Tickets may be purchased at the door. Both Kartman and Henderson are on the faculty at the Unl- yersity of Alabama, The artists appear frequently as solo recitalists but are becoming widely known as the Steinerius Duo. The name comes from toe names of the instruments that are used, Kartman owns a Guarnerius violin of great beauty and value. Henderson plays a Steinway piano whenever possible, Kartman has pursued an extensive concert career in the U.S, and in Europe. Twice soloist with the New York Philharmonic, he has appeared in solo recitals and with orchestras on both continents. Kartman holds degrees from the JuUiard School and the Eastman School, and was a Fulbright Scholar in Germany from 1957- 1959. He has been first violinist of widely acclaimed Anlioch String Quartet, toe Illinois String Quartet, and currently holds toe same position with the Cadek Quartet, in residence at toe University of Alabama. Kartman is professor of music at toe University of Alabama. William Henderson holds degrees from toe University of Alabama and has done post graduate study at toe Manhattan School of Music in New York. He maintains a busy schedule as recitalist, accompanist and coach. Henderson has appeared with some of the southeast's leading orchestras, including two appearances with the Brevard Music Center Symphony. Henderson is instructor of piano at the University of Alabama- Vicki Morris, the P.E. major who was not allowed to pre- register last Friday has been assured of toe right to attend school next quarter. Dr. Taft Botner expressed toe opinion that the whole issue was "just a misinterpretation" by the P.E. Department He stated that the only way to legally deny a present student the right to pre-register on grounds such as hers would be to require that she appear before a board consisting of faculty members. There was absolutely no ethical way to deny her the chance to pre-register without these procedures., Nearly the same reply was given by Dr. Newton Turner who also believes that toe issue was just a result of a misunderstanding in the P.E. Department. He said, however, that there was another reason for the hold-up in Miss Morris' pre-registration. There was the problem of her evaluation sheets not being returned. These are compUed by members of toe faculty who study each individual and evaluate his or her attitude, appearance, poise, and other essentials. Dr. Turner also said that the P. E. Department keeps closer tabs on its students than does any other department on this campus. Dr. Hamilton, head of toe P. E. Department, has stated that he has no comment to make concerning toe misunderstand • ings. Controversy on toe case runs high in the Health and P. E„ Department. One female P. E. major reports a proposition by several instructors in that department to "walk out with him" if HamUton should resign. K is also being hinted that no comments have been made by Hamilton so that he can wait for the incident to be magnified before revealing another side to the story — thus, causing embarrassment to those who have supported Miss Morris' cause. One sentiment expressed by a great majority of the faculty and student body members interviewed is that the Student Senate acted too hastily in demanding that Hamilton resign — that they did not allow themselves time to evaluate all sides of the argument, It must also be taken into consideration, however, that toe Student Senate added Vicki's case to a long list of student grievances against the P. E, Department which began last year. Former resolutions passed by the Senate have been, for the most part, ignored by that Department. The situation is a sticky one and some agreement on toe definition of "hastiness" in this case must be reached before one can objectively evaluate toe Senate action. Most students who voice opinions on the matter are divided into two camps: those who feel that dress and personal appearance are personal freedoms not to be infringed on by faculty members, and those who "are behind Dr. HamUton." The latter group seems to feel that the complaints are personal ones directed to HamUton — that the issue is somehow a detrimental comment on his worth as a professor and head of the department. This is not the case. The issue is strictly one of regulation of dress In the M»y- •ical Education department. In this light, some professors maintain that a certain conformity of dress must be kept in the P. E. Department in order to uphold the status of an accredited university. In an effort to test this theory, inquiries were made to surrounding universities. Most replies, which follow, negate this theory. Question 1: Does your school exercise a separate dress code for physical education majors? Prohibit long hair, belled jeans etc? Question 2: Are you accredited by the Southern Association of CoUeges and Schools and the National CouncU for Accreditation of Teacher Education (under which WCU is accredited)? a, East Carolina University - Dr. Robert WUliams, Provost (same as Dean of Academic Affairs): (1) No dress code CONTINUED Page 8.... WCU Board of Visitors convenes Sat. WCU's Board of Visitors wUl convene here Saturday, Nov. 14, with a variety of activities scheduled, including information, recreation, and entertainment, John Parris of Sylva, Board of Visitors temporary chairman, said that a highlight of the first meeting wUl be a tour by chartered buses of the. university campus.

Members of the organization will have toe opportunity to meet and visit with students, faculty members, and administrators during a luncheon in Hinds University Center. A short business meeting wiU be held, during which bylaws wUl be adopted and other steps taken for the completion of formal organization of toe board, Officers for the first year also wiU be elected. A highlight of toe afternoon activities wUl be toe WCU footbaU game with Concordia College. The Minnesota team completed the 1969 footbaU season in toe No. 2 spot in toe rankings of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics - (NAIA), and was last year's Northeastern regional NAIA champions.
