  • page 2 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday Jan. 18, 1973 Men's New Dormotory Named After W. B. Harrill; Women's New Dorm Named After Miss Edyth Walker Western Carolina University's newest high-rise men's residence hall was named for W. B. Harrill by the WCU Board of Trustees in a Dec. 8th meeting And a companion nine-story hall for women was named for Miss Edyth Walker, In naming the men's hall for Harrill, the boarc honored one of the institutions's best-known retired administrators, credited with building the WCU summer school and public relations programs over a 19-year span from 1947 to 1986. HeandMrs. Harrill live in Cullowhee. Miss Walker, now a resident of Orangeburg, S.C, taught in the campus laboratory school for 28 years during regular sessions and in the WCU English department during summer sessions. Harrill came to Western Carolina in 1947 as professor of education and the school's first director of public relations. During his career at Western, he twice was acting academic dean. His 41-year career in education includes service as a teacher, principal, and college professor. He taught in public schools in Cleveland County, and was principal of Glenwood School in McDowell County for nine years and of Fayetteville City High School for 10 years. After World War II, he served as senior institutional training officer for the North Carolina devision of the Veteran's Administration with headquarters in Winston-Salem, Harrill had a large role in developing and successfully promoting two of Western Car« olina's best known educational programs. One of these is the summer programs for gifted children and the other is an in-service educational program enrolling hundreds of persons in the region to continue in full- time employment while earning a college degree over a six-year period of time. Harrill is active in the affairs of the Baptist church, the Lions Club, and numerous other civic activities. He has long been an enthusiastic outdoors sports^ man. Miss Walker joined the WCU lab school faculty in 1934, She soon became intimately involved with scores of mountain people, often walking several miles to visit the homes of her students. A graduate of Winthrop College, she received her master's degree from Duke University. As a member of the WCU sum mer faculty, she taught classes for a number of years in American literature. The board was toldthatarch- itectural plans fir the new S3.5 million science laboratory building are nearing final completion. It named an eight" member committee to recommend names for the new structure with Modeal Walsh of Rob" binsville, a trustee, as committee chairman. The board approved a visitation policy governing residence halls on the campus. The policy permits visitation by members of the opposite sex in rooms of the residence halls on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays under spelled-out regulations, and empowers the Chancellor to alter or suspend the visitation privileges, The board voted to authorize Chancellor Jack K, Carlton to renew a contract with the Joint Local Mental Health Authority for the operation of a mental health center in the WCU clinic annex building, Carlton told the board that a final contract probably would depend upon further negotiation with the mental health board. In a report from Dean of Records and Admissions Cecil C. Brooks, the board was told that final fall quarter enrollment figures showed 5,640 stU" dents enrolled in residence credit courses, and an overall total of 6,246 enrolled in all courses, including some non- credit work. Brooks also said that admissions for next fall are running somewhat over those of a year ago, and he indicated that the university expected its largest winter quarter enrollment starting January 2, In a status report, the board learned that financial arrangements for the construction of a new Sl.65 million football stadium had been approved by the state. In another action, the board approved a new statement of purpose being developed in connection with the university's self-study. In the statement, the university is described as "an academic community characterized by a spirit of free inquiry and , ..dedicated to the development of the human mind, the enrichment of the human experience, and the improvement of human society," Dr, David E: Henson of Franklin, recently named to the board of trustees by Governor Scott, was welcomed to his first meeting, Dr. Henson succeeded Boyce A. Whitmire of Hender- sonville who resigned in September. The trustees adopted a resolution commending his service on the board and impressing the appreciation of the university to him. SPEEDY *S IS COMING History Census Being Taken Western Carolina University will turn to a younger generation as it seeks to help record and preserve the folkways of an older one. The university unveiled Dec, 14 plans for sending trained student interns into counties around the institution on amission of collecting the oral history of the hills. The undertaking is part of Western Carolina's role in the Appalachian Consortium project of documenting on film and tape the culture, history, and folklore of the Southern Appalachians. After special training from a faculty team, the students will move to rural communities. There, they will work with Community Action Agency leaders to gather data, interview residents, begin inventories of dwellings and other structures in which valuable history might be found, maintain field books, develop lists of persons with special talents or skills, and assist in compiling and analyzing the results of their work. The students, working with facultj members, also will seek to serve the communities in which thej live, especially by being of direct assistance to local CAA workers and organizations. Western Carolina has been asked by the Consortium to be responsible for developing data from Jackson, Haywood, Transylvania, Swain, Macon, Graham, Clay and Cherokee counties in North Carolina; Oconee County, S.C = , and Fannin, Union, Towns, and Rtbun counties in Georgia. Initially, the student teams will work in only four of the North Carolina counties, while the faculty members assigned to the project will assist in the other counties, The four target counties will be announced later. The Western Carolina proposal was presented by the project director, Dr, Patrick G. Morris, associate professor in sociology and anthropology. It was developed by the oral history and folklore committee of the WCU School of Arts and Sciences under the supervision of Dr. J. Gerald Eller, dean, who also is a member of the Consortium board. 3>inin& Bpon) 40A£.cca)6o: r&w^tM ft u4 ft-NCju Cro*/v' w2»* 'O o^>.
