The Western Carolinian VOICE OF THE STUDENTS VOL. XXXVII, No. 34 Western Carolina University Tuesday, February 15, 1972 Cullowhee, N.C Senate passes exam option A bill was unanimously passed by the Student Senate of Western Carolina University that final exams become optional for students, and that this recommendation be acted upon by the end of Winter Quarter. It is felt by the Senate that final exams place too much stress on the students. A clause was stricken that stated that the exams encouraged the use of drugs. The ruling will now go before the University for approval. Several measures were passed to improve general conditions aroundthe Western Carolina campus, A new 6' sidewalk Will be constructed (as soon as weather permits) along the perimeter of Leatherwood Residence Hall and its surrounding lawn, to the new Art building. The possibility of installing real stereo music systems in both of the cafeterias is also being seriously investigated. The Senate is also trying to get the phone company to install several non-pay phones, for the use of students, in the lobby of the University Center. They propose to remove all but two of the present pay phones and have a total of three campus (non-pay) phones. The University Se vices Com= mittee also supported the addition of a parking lot below Mad= ison Hall, with spaces for about 15-20 cars, The Charter of Reynolds Residence Hall was defeated at the Senate meeting because of a section concerning the sale of preferred stock (in the form of activities cards) to the members of the dorm. It would be set up as a corporation with a board of directors, The measure had passed, with great success, in the Residence Hall itself.

Honyman came to Virginia from his native Scotland shortly before the Revolution and practiced medicine in Hanover County during the war years.
