Transcript

Thursday, September 23, 1971 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 5 New general ed. changes passed The new general education requirements .lave been passed and will soon take effect on the 15th of October. For the B.A. major quite a few changes have been made. The student must take a foreign language but has the option of taking math or not, The hours required of Humanities has increased from 9 to 15 as have that of social sciences; from 10 to 15 hours. Also, 10 hours are now required to an area of study in which the student had no previous hours. Instead of the 25 hours required of natural science and math only 15 now are needed. Also, only 15 hours are now required of English; previously 20, 9 hours of English Com^ position and 6 hours of World Llteratureo Orientation still requires the one hour. Psychology is no longer a must for the B.A. major. Less Importance is being placed on Health and Physical Education. From the 9 hours required before only 6 need be taken. But you must have at least three hours of physical education. For the B.S, major fewur changes have been made but more hours have been dropped. The BjS. major must take math but has the option of taking a foreign language or not, The only increase is the additional 10 hours on untaken area. Humanities and natural sciences and math(one course) still have the same number of hours required, 15 each, Social science now only requires 15 hours, instead of the 18 20 before and English has decreased from 23 hours to 15 with the same number of hours required in English Composition and World Literature as that of the B.A. major. The hours required of Health and Physical Education and orientation are the same with the B.A. major. As of now the individual departments are building programs around this with Dr. Pow's go ahead. This program is identical with the one at UNC-CH SGA makes transition to new constitution The Student Government Association had a busy summer making the transition from the old constitution to the new one. Early to the first session the new court system was established with Steve Gheen being appointed the Public Defender and David Harling the Attorney General. SGA President Greg Lockamy then appointed Roy Patterson, a graduate student, as Chief Justice of the new court and Keith Ramsey, Tommy Franks, Pat Reed, Susan Reynolds, Fran Owens as associate justices. When Patterson dropped out of school second session Susan Reynolds became the Chief Justice of the court. The new system ran into problems over the parking tickets. The North Carolina Attorney General ruled that the university did not have the authority to make students pay fines for violations of university regulations. The SGA senate then passed a resolution reinstating work hours as penalties for persons found guilty of violations. This resolution's legality was in doubt because it allowed students to voluntarily pay fines instead of doing work hours. Finally the Attorney General's office ruled that the rule was legal. The court system ran smoothly for the remainder of the summer, but there will be several changes in personnel now that the year is beginning. Chief In-service programs If you have always wanted to get a college degree without having to give up your regular job, then two new industrial in- service programs beginning this fall at Western Carolina may be just the opportunity you have been waitng for. The new programs lead to the bachelor of science degree in industrial technology. Additional information about the programs and class schedules may be obtained from the Extension Division, Western Carolina Univ., Cullowhee,N.C. Justice Susan Reynolds and associate justice Pat Reed will be to South America this quarter and Public Defender Steve Gheen will not be returning. Although Mr. Gheen has been accepted to graduate school, his request for financial aid has been denied by the university. Gheen stated "when I asked for a reason why I could not receive my fellowship the head of the graduate school told me that I had undesirable connections and that the matter wa;< i >i open for discussion." In July SGA President Greg Lockamy, Vlce-PresidentSag- er Williams, Presidential Assistant David Huskins, Public Defender Steve Gheen, and Attorney Gerneral David Harling went to Raleigh to attend hearings on the re-consolidation of higher issues. On the weekend of Aug. 13- 15 the SGA sent President Lockamy and student senator Dwight Nelson to Raleigh to a convention of student leaders from all over the state. The convention dealt primarily with educational problems and registering the 18 year old voters before next year's elections. The SGA's new office of Comptroller has also come into being this summer. Dan Austell, the new Comptroller, has been busy up-dating financial records of the SGAand modernizing the refrigerator rental service. One of the highlights of the summer for the SGA president was his becominga voting member of the Board of Trustees. "The decision between acting for the Board of Trustees or for the students will put me to a bind." Lockamy said, "I'll have to decide what is best for the entire university. What is not best for the students right now might be good for them a year from now or three years from now,, That's what I will have to decide upon," On Sept 15, all members of the executive staff, several members of the newspaper staff, David Hearst of the BSUL, and David Kirkman participated in the Second Annual Leadership Conference. The conference which was held in the University Center lasted for two days and dealt with what the SGA hopes to accomplish this year. DWIGHT NELSON (top right) led this planning session of the Second Annual Student Leadership Conference that was held last Wednesday and Thursday. SGA goals more efficient The two day Student Leadership Conference, held last week, made S.G.A.'s goal for tho year more active and efficient service to the student, Student Government Association President Greg Lockamy set the Conference philosophy and the resulting Student Government philosophy during the opening session. Lockamy commented that for two years S.G.A, had been attempting to gain power, authority and respect on campus, and finally had succeeded. "Now we have one choice, and only one choice," Lockamy sald„ "To provide the best service we can for the students of this campus." Student government, this year, he pointed out has a good system, so S.G.A. doesn't need to be concerned with structure, but only with beginning to use its power to serve the student "Two years ago," Lockamy said, "Student Government was the existence of people who played games and did almost nothing else. "Last year changes were ma de, but not to the direct benefit of the student, They were made more for student govern- ■ ment," He made the point that "Now we get the chance" to use the power that has been obtained. Lockamy introduced three a- reas he wanted student leaders to discuss during the goal setting conference of S.G.A, "S.G.A.'s profile" was area one, and was a program of public relations based on "action" rather than words. Area two was "Methods of obtaining goals." Lockamy stressed the fact that Student Government must choose the right way of obtaining what It wanted. "The right way, with facts to back it up,"he said. The third area was "Specific interests for the new year." THREE PLANNING sessions dominated the Conference, each session concerning a different area. The results of the conference were revealed at the closing banquet on September 16. Some suggested areas to whi ch Student Government could more effectively serve the student were: ■Arrange for public hearings on administrative or academic areas of concern to students. This included a more effective teacher evaluation system for S.G.A. and some type of student representation on committees for course selection. -Investigation Into an Inter- visitation system. -Investigation into what medicines the Infirmary can disperse and comparison of prices of medicines at the Center Pharmacy and other drug stores. •Investigation into the possibility of establishing a full- time ambulance service, -Investigation into a more complete public-relations program for Student Government, LOCKAMY ended the conference by saying he was looking forward to a "tremendous" year for student government, "Because Student Government could almost survive this year and be considered good and workable if It did nothing simply by the fact that it has got the system. But that's not what we want to do," .
