  • 2 Thursday, January 12, 1972 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Proposal on repeat system in senate A Student Senate proposal suggesting that any student be allowed to repeat a course and receive only the grade he obtains on the second try should be passed at the next Senate meeting, accordlngto President Sager Williams. The proposal, which has been - in committee for several weeks, would then be passed on the the Student-Faculty Senate Academic Affairs Committee. Williams announced yesterday that he has received some "very favorable comments" on the proposal from several administrators. Should the proposal be adopted by the Academic Deans, any student not satisfied with the grade he earns in any given course could repeat the course at his convenience and receive only the grade earned the second time, be it an "F" or "A." The first grade would be stricken from his records, A previous bill proposing that only students who receive a "D" or "F" in a course be allowed to repeat was defeated in the Student Senate. Williams said that the new proposal would depend on the effort, time, money and initiative of the student and that he could see no reasons for anyone to object to such a "fair" proposal. Reinhard recommends new titles Director of Student Development, Herb Reinhard, has recommended to acting president Frank Brown that the title of Dean of Men or Women be dropped to makeway for more representative titles. The traditional titles, he says, usually "carry a disciplinarian stigma as well as an outmoded philosophy that women only counsel women and men only counsel men. Both titles are rapidly vanishing from the national scene and titles similar to what I recommend are being used." Reinhard recommends that those officials be called Dean of Student Development and Counselor to Men and Women, respectively. The Student Development part, he says would reveal that the person can work with all areas of student personnel while the Counselor part would assist those who wish to rlinnr *V. tho sVaHtXrmal Hilp Counseling center aids vocation search THE END OF AN ERA...nope, not if the car is as sturdy as this 1939 Chevy that collided with Buchanan Dorm last night.

Investigation under in security incident way An investigation into the case of student David A. Walter, who was alledgedly struck by campus patrolman W.D. Gunnin to the extent of breaking Walter's jaw in late November, is now underway. Business Manager Doyle Dillard, in charge of the investigation, said yesterday that most of the witnesses to the incident had been interviewed by Public Defender Dwight Nelson and himself. Since last Tuesday, Dillard has contacted seven witnesses. Walter, who is not enrolled in school this quarter, and patrolman Gunnin have not yet been interviewed. He said that he would talk with Gunnin as soon as possible but that interviewing was difficult to schedule because of WCU professor of anthropology named to volume Dr. Bill Franklin, associate professor and chairman of sociology and anthropology at Western Carolina University, has been named to the 1971 edition of "Personalities of the West and Midwest." Dr. Franklin is the author of numerous research articles in social psychology and research methods.

He is co-editor of a forthcoming book entitled "Social Psychology and Everyday Life," *r\ Ha ralMlchorf lator* titia va'i-r- Gunnin's midnight shift of duty and his own daily calendar. "We will," he said, "get a statement from Walter by telephone or in person." Dillar d said that he had hopes of concluding the investigation by the first of next week, but, he said, "we will take as long as we have to. We don't want any hasty conclusion." Dillard will present his findings to Frank Brown, Vice president of Administration and acting President A new Vocational Counseling Center has been set-up and is staged for full scale operations this quarter. This free service is strickly confidential, and no reports of cases are released. The program, headed by Dr. Harry Salisbury, will provide guidance for students 9-5 in Killian-246. A student may seek aid for a variety of personal problems. Decisions concerning a choice of occupation may be determined through this counseling service and the informational materials and in- administered (at the student's discretion), cretion). Professional help with educational counseling, study skills, or even just talking to someone can also help a normal college student solve his problems.. After a student's initial appointment with a counselor he would continue to see the same counselor unless otherwise desired. Four of the five counselors have a doctoral degree in counseling and members of the staff include: Dr. Harry Salisbury, Dr. Mary Wayte, Mrs. Marian Renfro, Dr. David McMillan, and Dr. Robert Rigdon. Appointments may be made with the secretary. The counseling Center has also been of service, to High School students and adults who are not in college, in relation to career planning. This is hopefully to expand soon and include veterans also. The program grew out of student demand and the evident need shown last year whensev- erl hundred students came to seek aid. If the students of WCU express a desire to have additional hours made available or more services, at their suggestion the program maybe still further expanded.
