  • Thursday, September 23, 1971 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 9 Housing staff announces programs Activities aimed at student interests; residents will determine future events By STEPHANIE PHILLIPS News Editor The entirely new housing staff, headed by Dr. Tyler Combs, has announced a variety of programs for the fall quarter. According to Combs, fall quarter activities are designed to '"show the students a variety of things that can be done in residence hall programming so that they will soon be able to do their own programming." Scheduled events include a ladies' Football Night in Scott hall, September 28, featuring simple pointers from Coach Bob Waters and members of the team, and a symposium on Careers for Women geared to current needs and expectations of college graduates. Also planned are a horror movie and Road Runner film fest, presented outdoors blanket-style; a course to be taught to the dorms entitled "Basic Automotive Mechanics for Men andWomen;" a Wine Tasters Party, with wine supplied by area wine companies; and a series of movies dealing with World Series and championship sports events, Dr. Combs also announced that his staff Is "kicking around" plans for a symposium on Occult Sciences and Witchcraft anda series of meetings directed by a gynecologist dealing with "what you always wanted to know about sex but didn't have the opportunity to a sit." "The only limit to what we can do," said Dr. Combs, "Is the imagination of people involved.. .students especially. If they can think of it, we probably can put It together somehow." Questionnaires will be distributed by the staff to determine what changes or additions upperclass dorm residents would like to see to their residence hall programs. Freshmen will also be poUed on their interests. "One thing everyone will see this year," promised Dr. Combs, "is that these halls are run for the students. Students can have a very great deal of impact and input into how their halls are run." He continued that his one fear is students being "turned off" if a suggestion cannot be im mediately handled by the staff, though he said he forsees being able to say "yes" to most plans. "College students are reasonable people," he said, "They want to know why, I am the same way and like to extend the same courtesy to other people, If we can't tell them yes rlghtaway, we'U check on their suggestion, , .if it makes sense to change or add a policy we'll change It."

A graduate student assistant has yet to be appointed to Scott Hall. The ' 'most vital link in campus communications" for the housing staff, according to Dr. Combs, are the Resident Assistants (RA's), 86 undergraduate and graduate students who are employed to all the halls. The only full--time post yet to be filled to the new housing office is assistant housing director. Dr, Combs said that plans are being formed for a housing advisory committee, composed of staff, faculty, RA's and students. The committee will be organized to give initial reactions to ideas and programs of the housing staff and to recruit new Ideas. JOHN MARSHALL Restructuring reasoning was that the unchecked rush improved campus facilities and provided the basic degrees. His second point was the de- cling birth rate. Lockamy said, "John Chancellor of NBC News said last week that if the birth rate continues at the same rate it has to the United States for the last two years, by the mld- 1980's, the birth rate will have declined to zero. , , But statistics show, of students already bom to this state, that by the time they reach college age in 1980, the number of people seeking a coUege degree wiU be, at most, less than we have currently enroUed to our sixteen institutions." This "phenomenon," Lockamy said, demands that North Carolina turn its thoughts tow- . . . .FROM Page 3 ard quality in higher education rather than supplying the demand for numbers. "North Carolina's students," he continued, "have been afforded the opportunity and the faculties for an education. Now students wUl be looking to improvements within these structures." to obtaining the quality he was talking about, Lockamy said that the duplication of some degrees causing overlapping and dual expenditures must be eliminated. Lockamy closed his address by saying, "North Carolinians are strong wUled and determined individuals, please dont let them be short changed as they strive for educational ex- ceUence.
