  • 2 Thursday, March 2, 1972 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN China is topic of CIRUNA conference CIRUNA (Council on International Relations and United Nations Affairs) announced the second annual Cullowhee Conference set for April 13, 14, 1972. Last year's Conference has been described as "the greatest academic accomplishment in the last twenty years." This was totally in keeping with CIRUNA »s ideal of informing the student on the various viewpoints in respect to the vital issues facing each person living today. The topic, this year will be "China, the United States, and the United Nations: Issues and Prospects in the World of the 1970's." The subject of China is gathering more interest in the American mind and CIRUNA hopes that by bringing a top level group of experts on China to the Conference, a better understanding of the nation, its problems and future, can be achieved. The speakers on the program are all experts on China. Scheduled to speak are members of the State Department, correspondents from the NEW YORK TIMES and University professors from throughout the South. By bringing together so many speakers, with such varied backgrounds and topics, a more complete picture of China will hopefully appear. Two featured speakers, on the program are Audrey Topping and Charles Bohlen. Mrs. Topping, whose father was a Canadian diplomat, was born in China. She attended the University of Nanking. As a correspondent for the NEW YORK TIMES, she has been in China as recently as last year. She has been seen on NBC television as an expert explaining President Nixon's China trip. Her topic will be "China, the United States, and the United Nations: Issues and Prospects in the World of the 1970's" (which is the Symposium's title). Charles Bohlen has achieved the rank of career diplomat in the U.S. Foreign Service. Bohlen served as Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1953- 1957. He has become a lead ing authority on Communist affairs. After leaving the Soviet Union, Bohlen went on to become Ambassador to the Phili- pines and Ambassador to France. Upon returning to the United States, he became deputy Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs. Bohlen's topic will be "Current Aspects of American Foreign Policy; China and the Soviet Union." For anyone who wants to know more about the Conference or would like to participate with any aspect of the Conference, there will be a general meeting of CIRUNA this Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in Room 118 of McKee. Meal ticket charges dropped by court Charges against three students who had alledgedly used their meal ticksts improperly were dropped in last nieht's Superior Court session. In each case the Court decided that the University had failed to present sufficient evidence, as referral memos issued by Food Services Director Stedman Mitchell were ruled to be heresay. In the cases of Raohael Lewis, Bradford Reeves and Claudia Worley, Mitchell sent notices alledging that the students had misused their tickets by going through lunch lines twice in the same day and giving food to friends. All charges were dismissed. The memos, signed by Mitchell, did not say that he had personally witnessed any misuse of meal tickets and neglected to mention which cafeteria employee had. Defender Dwight Nelson also moved for dismissal of charges brought against four students by David Gruin, housing coordinator of the new men's residence hall. Gruin referred Cindy Carp and Patricia Davie for alled- gedly being in a men's room under unauthorized conditions on the night of January 8. William Hutching and John Poole were also charged with unseemly conduct resulting from the same incident. All were also charged with lying to a University official. The case, resembling many of those which have been dismissed from the court earlier this year, were based on evidence acquired through a search of a dorm room by an official. Defender Nelson held that the search was illegal because the coordinator did not get written permission from the Dean, the dorm president was not present, and none of the actual occupants of the room were present. All are requirements of a legal search as specified in the Student Bill of Rights. Chief Justice told the defendant that the court needed more CONTINUED Page 7 .... {vtV the G0U> SySH otv72Vwght op LTHAR T© THE GOIP T\OQtA (tf THE 'rr'SALSO TtlE f.CJ^CcEiOTi).

But he was still an usher at Western's home games* 'Exciting' tour set for Symphonic Band The Western Carolina University Symphonic Band will present tour concerts in three states during the annual winter tour February 29 through Mar.rh 5. The Symphonic Band is composed of 56 future music teachers representing eight states and is one of three bands at WCU. Tenor soloist with the band on this tour will be C. Temple Smith. Dr. Smith holds degrees from Louisiana College, North Texas State University and the Florida State University, and is widely known for his operatic roles includjigap- pearances in Ft. Myers, Jacksonville, and Tallahassee. Conducting the symphonic band will be Robert B„ Welch, WCU director of bands. Welch studied at Morehead State University and the University of Kentucky. Before coming to Western in 1969, he taught at the University of Kentucky and has had wide experience con ducting bands and orchestras at every level. Welch says, "On our winter tourt the symphonic band will play its most exciting program ever. Brent Heisinger's 'Statement' is as contemporary as last summmer; its impact will be felt equally by musicians and non-musicians. The drive and vitality of Nelhybel's 'Symphonic Movements' must be ex perienced to be believed." The band will play several popular favorites, the "Overture to Benvenutto Cellini" by Berlioz and of course, a great Sousa march. The band's itinerary will include appearances in Jacksonville, Daytona Beach, Cocoa Beach, Hollywood, Naples and St. Petersburg in Florida; Franklin (N.C.); and Robins Air Force Base in Georgia. The tour i s made possible by sponsorship by musical organizations in host schools and communities. H.S. honors may earn college credit Western Carolina University this summer will begin a pre- university honors program in which high school juniors may earn university credit and possibly even bypass their senior year of high school. Students accepted in the program will take up to 18 quarter hours of freshman-level courses during the regular 10- week WCU summer school, receiving full academic credit for those courses they complete successfully. If a student demonstrates exceptional aptitude for college- level work, the university will confer with his high school principal, who may recommend that the student be allowed to enroll as a freshman at WCU in the fall of 1972, instead of returning to high school for his senior year. A student who bypasses his senior year could, at the discretion of his high school principal, receive his high school diploma when he completes his freshman year at WCU. To be eligible for the pre- university honors program, a student must have completed his junior year in high school, rank in the upper one-fourth of his class; and be recommended by his high school principal. The new program is a direct outgrowth of earlier enrichment programs for superior and gifted high school students, which have been conducted by WCU since 1959.
