  • Office of Academic performance formed The School of Arts and Sciences has announced the formation of the Office of Academic Performance. It is the first such office to be established on this campus, The Office of Academic Performance, which wiU have authority only in the School of Arts and Sciences, has two main purposes: to better contain a number of essential services to students, and to try to find ways to put a stronger focus on academic performance in respect to faculty and stu dents. Dean Eller has outlined sev eral responsibilities for the committee. He specifically em phasized the identification of students at both ends of the academic spectrum. The committee hopes to have an awards banquet where high achievers are recognized and given awards for their achievement. EUer said, "There has been too much rhetoric in the past, There has not been enough said about academics, we need more publicity for academics. We need to find a better way of recognizing stu dents." For the low or under-achie- ver, a better tutorial program lias been developed AU students, particularly freshmen taking English, history, math, biology or chemistry have the opportunity to use this program, Dean Eller also emphasized the coordination of "academic advisement" and the development of a "referral system" for non-academic counseling. Academic advisement means better informing the faculty advisor so that he can in turn be of more assistance to the student in matters of registration, drop-add, course selection, etc. The referral system will help students with non-academic problems, particularly personal problems, find competent counseling. EUer was specific in saying that advising should be kept separate from counseling because the two are different, Another point in the program is the implementation of a a- culty-course evaluation. Dr. Lovin said that this is "a touchy subject" which the committee must investigate and proceed with carefully. The committee is going to consider ways to motivate students and make academic performance the major goal of each student, Eller said that the emphasis is on performance and that is the reason for the name, Office of Academic Performance. "There are two sides of performance," he said "faculty and student," He said iie hopes there can be a motivation of both students and faculty. There will also be an evaluation of the attendence policy and other procedures and their effect on academic performance. The committee, he said, is going to encourage professors to keep students informed of their standing during the quarter and not wait until the last week. Those students who are showing low performance will be called in for consultation. The office, wliich was established by Dean J. Gerald Eller, is governed by The Committee on Academic Performance. This committee is composed of one faculty member from each department in the School of Arts and Sciences and three division chairmen. The majority of members are regular teaching faculty. Committee members are: Dr. Fred Coyle, Dr. EG. Vas- sian, Mr, Tyson Cathey, Dr, Gregory Starling, Dr, Patrick B. McArdle, Dr, BUI Franklin, Dr. John Bell, Dr. Charles Ste vens, James Smith, James E. Byer, Thomas P. FaiU, Roger Bisson, Dr. Betsy Farlow, Mrs, Martha B. White, Dr. Maynard Adams, Dr, Joseph Bassett, Dr. Max WUliams, Dr. Theodore Huguelet, Students will be on the committee as soon as the Student Advisory CouncU meetsandap- points members. The students wUl be full members of the committee. According to Dr, Clifford R. Lovin, committee chairman, this is not a policy making committee. It can implement present policy and offer suggestions but cannot change or enter new policy. Thursday, September 30, 1971 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 3 Casey retires after long 23 years After twenty-three years, three months and two weeks of service to the University community, Henry Casey retires today. His first job at Western was in the original library in Joy- ner in 1948. The university was then a Teacher's College, Mr, Casey says "I wont mind leaving the job but I'll sure miss all the friends I've made," His friends will miss him, Interested in SGA Anyone interested in working in the Student Government Judicial System please come by Student Government offices, 2nd floor University Center. Positions open include judges and justices, and members of the Attorney General's and Public Defender's staff. Appointments will be made the middle of next week. HENRY CASEY retires today after twenty three years of working in the Western Carolina University library, first in Joyner, then in Hunter. SGA president discusses new raises * + l!|i in an interview with SGA president Greg Lockamy, the CAROLINIAN was able to find answers to some of the questions about new tuition increases. New students who apply for admission to Western for fall quarter, 1972, must forward a $100 deposit within 21 days after receiving admission approval. AU applicants must stiU pay the traditional $10 fee for processing of applications. If these students decide not to attend WCU, they may request a refund of the $100. This request must be made no later than May 1, 1972 or the student will forfeit the deposit, New students applying for admission in the winter or spring quarter will have to apply for refunds at least one month before school starts in the quarter for which they have applied. Lockamy said he felt this biU by the State Legislature was "designed to prevent a student from applying to several universities for admission." Any students RETURNING to WCU after Spring quarter this year wUl also have to pay a deposit—called a $50 continu- Campus welcome sponsored here WCU this year for the first time took part in a Welcome Wagon International program called Campus Welcome. The program is for freshman and transfer students. Eighteen Sylva merchants have donated certificates, most awarding discounts to purchases with the coupons. Residence hall students were given packets with the coupons last week. Off-campus students may stUl pick up their pa- Game to be on WCAT The UCB wtU sponsor a live telecast of Saturday nignrs footbaU game between WCUand JacksonvUle State over WCAT. The telecast wiU begin at 8:20. ing student fee. Should said student decide not to return to Western, he must apply for his refund no later than 30 days after the last regular term in which he did attend In other words, any freshman, sophomore, or junior who plans to return next fall wUl be required to pay a $50 deposit, If he doesn't actually return for the 1972-73 year, he must apply for his refund by the end of June (assuming his last quarter of attendance was the 71-72 spring quarter). Both the $100 entrance fee and the $50 continuing deposit will be credited toward the student's tuition for the next quarter of attendance. There have also been two tuition increases for out-of-state students. The first has already gone into effect—a $162 increase of quarterly tuition for the 17-72 year. The second increase for out of staters will become effective in the fall of 1972, and will raise tuition another $500 per year. Lockamy said several student government associations in North Carolina are now attempting to legally stop and reverse the out-of-state increase through court action, "I feel," he said, "like I am the president of the richest student body in the state. It seems as though everyone thinks they can get more and more money out of Western Carolina students." • • NOW HAS LADY LEVI S "^ BRUSHED DeMNAS BUTTON PROMT DEMI MS CORDUROY EXTRA HEAVY D6MW\5 l* STVLE CJEHTetV OF VNvC.U. w Waynewood Grocery Balsam Road "e °rae a ucu grade a market WaynesvUle, N.C.
