XXXVIII No. 30 Thursday Jan. 25, 1973 Western Carolina University Cullowhee, North Carolina Disapproval Of Policy Takes Place At the Student Senate meeting of Monday, January 22, a resolution tvas passed to voice disapproval of the new university policy requiring freshmen students to live on campus, The legislation, sponsored by Charlf, :«'?wman, attacks the logic for approval of the policy. The policy was set up to curb the number of students who leave WCU during their freshman and sophomore years, Newman maintains, however , that the residence halls are too noisy to be conducive for studying. Because of this, the new policy will have no effect on the amount of students who leave the university, he said, The resolution states that the new requirements are a "flagrant violation 0f students' rights," After the tremendous increases in residence hall rent his year, 60% in some cases, the policy is viewed by the Student Senate as a "plot" by the administration to fill the residence halls. Disapproval of the 1973-74 academic calendar was also passed by the Senate, The resolution, sponsored by Senators Harold Rogers and Bob Clements, recommends the "abolishment" of the new calendar. The calendar dissolves summer job advantages for WCU students, who have previously been able to work until late September, The Senate maintained that the students should have been consulted on this matter, or any other that directly or indirectly concerns them, Included was a proposal for a study of the new calendar by a committee of members of both the student and faculty senates. In conclusion, the Senate stated that it "considers the actions of the Administration in this matter to be a direct and serious violation of the cooperative relation which should exist between governing bodies of WCU."

The bill , introduced by Dwight Sparks, resolves that the current 8600,000 surplus accumulated by the WCU cafeteria system should be used to provide better foods and a better atmosphere in the cafeterias.

L, Aubrey Drewry Jr., Dean of the WCL' School of Business, has resigned effective June 30 to return to classroom teaching duties as professor of economics and finance,, His resignation follows closely that of Dr, Gerald Eller, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, "I resigned at the request of the Chancellor," Drewry told the Western Carolinian, In a Jan, 23 letter to WCU ■--■ -■-"■•- Chancellor Jack Carlton, Drewry said Carlton's "bluntly expressed scepticism" about his ability to continue as business school dean promptedthe resignation, "Any feeling of accomplishment or productivity has been particularly elusive since August 1," Drewry said in his letter. Carlton's appointment as Chancellor became effective August 1. "I eagerly look forward to a return to the classroom and the library, and to being free to express and defend my own views in campus discussion and debate," Drewry continued. The business dean's resignation is the latest in a number of campus administrative shake- ups. Former academic affairs vice chancellor Dr, Albert Gil- man resigned his post earlier this year. Gil man now teaches mathematics. Drewry noted that he had not been able to achieve accreditation for the business school by the American Association of Colleges and Schools of Business, which he said was his "primary objective" when he assumed the deanship three years ago, "I feel that I have achieved the prerequisite objectives of DR, L. AUBREY DREWRY assembling a first rate faculty with recognized credentials, and building up the morale and sense rif mission of both students and professors in the School," he said. He described the business school as "one of the best Business faculties in this state and one that bears comparison with any School of similar size in the Southeast. As impressive as its quality, however, is the morale of this faculty and of our students,'' Drewry expressed hope that " administrative imperious- ness" and "bureaucratic arrogance" would "not be allowed to destroy this morale."
