  • The Western Carolinian VOICE OF THE STUDENTS VOL. XXXVII, No. 9 Western Carolina University Thursday, October 7, 1971 Cullowhee, N.C. General ed requirements restated There is still some confusion regarding the changes in general education require ments. These changes were approved June 21,1971 to be implemented beginning this quarter. Acceptable courses for ful- fillment of General Education requirements are designated by the Schools of the University for each degree program and major. However, all programs include at least the following: English Composition 9hours World Literature 6 hours Humanities (from two or more subject areas) 15 hours Natural Sciences and Mathe= matics (from two or more subject areas) 15 hours Social Sciences (from two or more subject areas) 15 hours An additional 10 hours from the areas above Health and Physical Education including at least 3 hours of physical education 6 hours Orientation 1 hour Modern Foreign Language is required for allB.A.andB.F„A. degrees. Mathematics is required for all B.S., BJS, in Education, and B.S, in Business Administration degrees. Continuing students enrolled in the University will have the option of satisfying general education requirements with courses prescribed in the catalog current when they entered the University, insofar as those courses are available. All questions of substitution or waiver will be decided by the Head of the Department of the students' first major, subject to approval by the Dean of the students' school. In no case will a student be required to take hours in general education beyond the number required by the catalog under which he entered. A LONG LINE of students waited Tuesday to get the 1970-71 CATAMOUNTS. Another line waited yesterday. And few were satisfied. See the CAROLINIAN FORUM on page 5. Election results Residence hall senators for the 1971-72 year were elected in the halls last night. The winners are as follow: Scott: Becky Irwin 160, Frances Owens 147, Jane Deweese 114 and Ann Marie Lassiter 154. Helder: Billie Pendelton 109 and Cathy Cline 105. Moore: John Fry 145, Reynolds: Keith Roberts 189, Wardell Townsend 146. Albright: Barry Dodson 63. Benton: Tommy Smith 59. Buchanan: Ken Brown 48. Madison: Robert Johnston. Leather wood: Pam Waldrup 49, Roxie Littlejohn 33. Miss Littlejohn ran on a write-in campaign and can become a senator if she appeals to the Student Senate and the Senate decides to admit her ballots. No one ran from Robertson Hall. 'Cat's prowl9 rally to feature skits . This year's Homecoming activities will include a "Cat's Prowl" pep-rally at Memorial Stadium, November 5. Unlike those in past years, this rally will include skit pre° sentations by University soror ities, fraternities, clubs and organ lzations. Any group wishing to participate In the skits must notify the Office of Students Activities by Monday, October 1L, Each group must then present a written script of their skit by October 15. Skits for the "Cat's Prowl" should be either take-offs or parodies of the Homecoming theme (Right On! '70, the football game itself (WCU-West Virginia State College), life in Cullowhee or the University in general. Any number of people can participate in each skit, and they may be produced by any single group or through cooperative efforts of two or more groups. Each presentation should be approximately ten minutes long and may include any props or scenery that the group feels Is necessary to portray their idea visually, Props must be made' by the group concerned and must be easily movable, to facilitate set-ups during a blackout between presentations. Skits will be judged, and those which best present the theme of the rally will be notified by October 20, Those groups chosen to perform in the November 5 rally will be required to present an audio tape of their skit to be used as a sound track on the performance night, Such a track will eliminate the possibility of sound failure or stage fright of the actors. Thus, participants will only have to panto- mine their skit in the actual performance, The Homecoming Committee reminds those interested that the skit audience will include students, alumni, faculty, administrators, Trustees and members of the local community. They urge that skits be "In good taste." Homecoming schedule "Right Onl '71" has been announced as the theme for Homecoming Day, November 6. The tenattve schedule of events is as follows: 10:00-11:30— Board of Trustees meeting. 10:00=1:30-- Alumni Registration. 10:00-12:30— dedication, Arts Complex. 11:30=12:00— Parade. 11:45-1:15— Alumni/Board of Trustees luncheon. 1:45=2:00— Pre-game show, 2:00-4:30=- Football game (WCU vs. West Virginia State College). 4:30-5:30°= Alumni coffee, 4:30-7:00— Open House, residence halls. 4:30-6:30— Dinner. 8:30=9:00— Alumni Mixer. 9:00-1:00°- Dance. Friday night, November 5, a'Cat's Prowl"rally will be held in Memorial Stadium. All-American transfers to WCU for senior year "This could be one of the best basketball teams I've ever been associated with." Western Carolina head basketball coach Jim Hartbarger made that statement last night. He sounded happy. Only a few days before, a story appeared in the GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS by David Lamm. It read this way: 'A basketball magazine hit the newstands Tuesday. One of its pre-season NAIA first- team All-America selections was Guilford College's 6-8 David Smith. Did that make Guilford's Coach Jack Jensen happy? No. Why? David Smith is now at Western Carolina University.' After considering that there is one happy coach and one unhappy coach, and considering that Smith is going into his senior season one would expect that the smoke is just clearing from a battle. Not so. There was no battle. David Smith decided that he was not going to attend Guilford this year. That was that, He decided he was going to attend Western Carolina and play for the Catamounts, And again, that was that, People who know Jim Hartbarger as a great recruiter will likely think first, "He did it again, How'd he do it," True, recruiting had something to do with getting David Smith, but in an indirect way. Smith had withdrawn from Guilford, "The decision was mine to leave Guilford, my reasons for leaving were personal," David says. "The first person I thought about when I decided to go to school elsewhere was Coach Hartbarger. When I was a senior in high school, Coach Hartbarger was at Virginia Tech and he tried to recruit me. I couldn't get in to Tech because of my college board, so I went to Guilford," said Smith. Hartbarger confirms that, "I have known David since high school, his sophomore year. He missed getting into VPI by just a little bit and we wanted him to go to prep school," Hartbarger said. "David says that I came to his mind first when he thought of transferring and former Uiu- ford Coach Jerry Steele suggested that he call me. Immediately after I talked to David, I called Guilford Coach Jack Jensen," Hartbarger said. WCU athletic director Bob Waters says, "It was a friendly-type situaton, otherwise we wouldn't have taken him, It wasn't a matter of taking him. He was going to transfer," What all this means is that despite what kind of a situation it looks like, it's all clean. At 23, David Smith has pretty nifty credentials. During his three years at Guilford the Quakers compiled records of 13-11, 32-5 (into the quarter finals of the NAIA Nationals) and 21-7. He averaged 25, 22.5, and 25.7 points per game during those three years along with 14.5, 12.9 and 13.8 rebounds per game. He was All- Carolinas Conference three times and a second- team NAIA All-American for two years. There is no doubt that Smith is tough. "David is a man and needs to be treated like a man," Hartbarger said, "he will give you everything he can on the basketball court and he realizes that he has a future in pro ball." "He needs for somebody to give him a break," Hartbarger adds, Smith must sit out the first weeks of the 1971 season because of the NAIA eligibility rule that requires a transfer must sit out 18 weeks after enrolling before he can play. He must also successfully complete 15 hours) of classwork here at WCU. That should jut CONTINUED Page 3....
