Ttmr ymsrm^ tlM^JSmM VOICE OF THE ST I HKXTS VOL. XXXVIII No. 29 Thursday Jan. 18, 1973 Western Carolina University Cullowhee, North Carolina Rescheduled Tubing Race Is On The University Center Board has announced that its 3rd annual Winter Quarter Tubing Race, originally scheduled for Saturday, January 20, has been rescheduled for Saturday, February 10. The Tubing Race has been rescheduled because of the high incidence of flu among students at the university. According to Gene May, President of the UCB, the postponement was based on the recommendation of Dr. H,A, Mathews, director of Health Services, If you don't know what a tubing race is, you've never seen warm-blooded WCU students plunge into the frigid, tumbling waters of the Tuckaseigee River and race, in rubber inner tubes, down a two - mil-: corn's.' to a finish line. But cont?sunU nd the several thousand spectators who viewed the first and second annual races know that a tubing race is one of the wackiest and coldest sporting events ever launched. Forty entrants have signed up for this year's race, including three women. Only seventy-five entries will be accepted, so students are urged to hurry and sign up. Each contestant must wear a wet suit, which will be provided by the UCB, but once they're in the water, all the contestants are on their own. It's strictly a floatingcontest, with no swim» CONTINUED PAGE 7 . . . . WCU Chancellor Jack Carlton, left, and Dr, David Mathewes listen to (acuity discussion during Wednesday's Faculty Senate session, (staff photo by R, Paul Smith) WCU Requires Frosh To Live In Dormotories CULLOWHEE. N.C, -Freshman siudents at Western Car" olina University will be required to live in university resi- dence halls starting next fall. The action, authorized previously by the board of trust" ees, was announced by Dr,Jack K, Carlton, chancellor, as a move to assure students and parents of the university's "best effort in suport of serious students pursuing a successful college experience." Married students and com- muting students who live with parents or guardians can be excepted from the requirement, The trustees in December 1971 approved a policy that empowered the administration to require that all students live in the campus residence hnlls, The requirement announced by Dr, Carlton, however, applies only to freshmen students, In moving to required resi- dence hall living, the board said it believes that students thereby would be afforded "unique opportunities through fellowship, associations, and involve-• ment in educational, social,and recreational programs," Last week, the universityan- nounced appointment of an assistant director of student housing to specialize in development and improvement of residence hall programming along those lines. Residence hall living, Dr. Carlton said, "promotes social cultural, and emotional growth; self-discipline, personal integrity, and a perspective founded on these elements of character which is a fundamental objective of a college education," The administration, he said, has become increasingly concerned about the loss of students during the freshman and sophomore years. Dr. J. Gerald Eller Resigns As Dean Dr. J, Gerald Eller is resigning as dean of the School of Arts and Sciences to return to full- time teaching and research in the Department of Biology in which he holds the rank of professor. His resignation from the deanship, a position he has held since the school was established in 1967, will be effective June 30. However, Dr. Eller said he plans to be on leave of absence after February 1 for an extended vacation. In a letter of resignation to Chancellor Jack K. Carlton, Dr, Eller said "my mind turns more and more to biology and the research programs which I interrupted in 1967 to undertake ... the formation of the new school. Most of the goals envisioned in 1967 have been achieved and this is a primary cause for my desire to return to the classroom, I believe this action to be in the best interests of Western Carolina University, the School of Arts and Sciences, and my family." Each of the 15 departments in the school is "functioning smoothly under the leadership €2fcfc DR. GERALD ELLER of competent and dedicated heads of department," Dr, Eller said, and "each is staffed with a faculty of exceptional quality. I have enjoyed a full measure of support and cooperation from the heads, the faculty, and students, The Arts and Sciences faculty at present is the brightest star in the University's sky," Dr, Eller was appointed dean of the school by former President Paul A. Reid at the request of former Vice President W. Newton Turner. Dr, Eller said his resignation to return to teaching was a culmination of plans understood when he undertook the administrative task of organizing the school, A graduate of Western Carolina and a member of its faculty since 1947, he has done graduate work at the University of Wyoming and holds the doctorate of philosophy in biology from the University of North Carolina. During his years at WCU, Dean Eller has served on most of the major committees of the university, He has been serving as chairman of the executive committee of the academic affairs committee and was chairman of the study committee which developed the Faculty- Administration Senate, He was chairman of the committee which developed faculty personnel policies, Active in civic, church, and professional organizations, he is a member of the board of C,J. Harris Community Hospital, Faculty Rejects Carlton's Move Carlton Avoids Faculty Collision WCL' Chancellor Jack Carlton averted a head-on collision with his faculty Wednesday afternoon when lie rescinded his controversial one-year moratorium on faculty tenure, 1-ate last week Carlton mailed a memorandum to department heads and school deans announcing a one-year suspension on new tenure appointments, The moratorium caused an uproar among the faculty, and strong opposition to the move was evident earlier this week. The faculty senate met yesterday in a regular session, reportedly to consider a rejection of Carlton's move, Shortly after convening the meeting, Carlton announced that "as a prerogative of the Chancellor," he had asked Dr, Ronald Nelson, American Association of University Professors local chapter president, to draw up a schedule for tenure procedures, and indicated that he had until May to get the job done, "As a consequence, I am going to lift this moratorium," Carlton said, "This would give me the time necessarj lo set up a schedule that I feel would give me the level of competence I discussed in my memorandum," Carlton declared. Normal review processes would continue to be followed, he indicated, and department chairmen were directed lo present the Chancellor with their tenure recommendations "as they have in the past," The board of governors of the University of North Carolina system is currently developing a chapter on academic freedom, due process, and tenure to be included in the new University code, Each of the 16 constituent institutions has been invited to submit recommendations for Chapter 6 of the code, and WCU has until May to do this, The chapter will affect all tenure policies at the 16 state institutions, Jan, 15 was the deadline for notifying faculty members that their contracts would not be renewed for next year. Normal procedure dictates that an instructor is eligible for tenure after three years with the university, At that time either the instructor is awarded a terminal one-year contract or he is continued in his position, After five years with the university the instructor who is rehired is tenured automatically, Faculty senate vice-chairman David A, Mathewes, a professor of chemistry, expressed the concern of the faculty that it had not been consulted on the matter, The senate "must be consulted," Mathewes told the Chancellor, who sat quietly at the head table during the address, Mathewes said that "in the last month or so" actions have been taken by the Chancellor that were "contrary to rules in the Green Book (the facultj -administration handbook)." The Chancellor's actions have "taken into no account the senate, the executive committee and the officers" of the faculty group, "As a matter of courtesy, the senate should have been advised on the appointment" of Dr, Stuart Wilson as the new vice chancellor for academic affairs. "We would keep your counsel," Mathewes told Carlton, Mathewes recalled his speech at Carlton's inauguration ceremony in which "I asked you to help us work together, We want the university to work as best as possible," he said, "But don't drive a wedge between the faculty and the administration.'' Mathewes' speech was received with vigorous applause from the overflow Cherokee Room crowd, Carlton responded quickly, saying the address was "timely" and "well put," "I appreciate it," he said, "I will take it very sincerely," Carlton promised. In other business, the senate adopted a revised admissions policy for those freshmen ad- milted on a provisional, probationary basis, Freshmen in this category are to be required to attend both sessions of summer school following their high school graduation, and achievement of a 1,0 minimum grade point average was recommended after completion of 15 quarter hours. Stump Named Business Director William C. Stump, a former bank officer and industrial statistical analyst in Asheville, has been named director of business services at Western Carolina University, it has been announced b\ Doyle M, Dillard, vice chancellor for business affairs.
