Box 545, Ellijay, Georgia 30540, 010, A 5^J Western Carolina University has something that only two other universities in the nation have, a four year curriculum course specifically for potential chemistry and physics teachers. Known as the pilot program for chemistry and physics teachers, approximately twelve students participate here. Funded by the federal government and sponsored by the National Science Foundation, it was established here three years ago. Students in the program work toward a major in education and a minor in math. The program basically consists of chemistry and physics courses along with general college requirements. The major aspect stressed in the program is simplification. Professors strive to show the students how to explain tilings as simply as they can. This can be achieved by audiovisual equipment which the students use nancy tut's — CHRISTMAS SHOP- Decorations, gifts and make-it-yourself Items We specialize in Miniatures Next to Riverwood Crafts Visit Our >>» Shop For Gourmet Items - Party and GourmetAccessories - - Cheeses - Assorted goodies - LOCATED NEXT TO OUR CHRISTMAS SHOP Dillsboro, N.C. 586-5391 to tape lab experiments. Students can come by the Still- well building tape library and look at themselves on film. That way they can see if something is explained thoroughly enough. The program includes field trips to surrounding high schools where the teachers-in training have a chance to observe classroom teaching methods of their own. The highlight of the year was an April field trip to Atlanta where the students visited large high schools and had an opportunity to see the urban school first hand. Advisor for the students in the course is Ted Moody, assistant professor of physics. To learn how to express themselves simply and clearly, students in the program enroll in a year - long English course for science teachers. Taught by Newton Smith, assistant professor in English, students learn to write in a journalistic style, with emphasis on brevity and understanding. Each student is required to publish an article in a newspaper, and this is one. NOTICE Caps and gowns for graduating students are now available at the University Restaurant (Gold Room), second floor, Hinds University Center. Graduation invitations are nalso available at the Univ. Supply store. wooow HEy BA&y?! f BRIDGE!! VTClAUftl.l Trtt*'M'THAT* *»«.»««. r\6ht by iHfe ie\oe(?--t>«op »m sous.Tims' Ionise!

ReQul^ WCU Yearbook Nears Completion The Catamount is nearing completion, according to David Harb, editor of Western's Yearbook. Taking on a seasonal approach, Harb said the book would portray student life from fall through spring. The Catamount, now in its 41st edition, will be published this summer by Delmar of Charlotte. Harb said it was less expensive to publish in summer due to the heavy demand on publishing companies in spring. The yearbook will be distributed early in fall quarter. Graduating students will receive their book by mail in late summer, Harb said, Harb, a senior political science major from High Point, said he had taken everyone into consideration while compiling the book. "I'm trying to build the yearbook around the students and their lives here, instead of particular groups," said Harb. Foremost among his ambitions in this year's book was to put it on a college level, Harb said. He described past yearbooks as being on a "high school" level. Harb's edition is to be judged nationally. Attempting to avoid the criticisms that past editors have received, Harb said he was going to give color shots to the students instead of only to the beauty queens. Reportedly only 2000 students posed to have their picture for the book. Although he would not elaborate on all the changes to be made, Harb did say the advertising section had been completely removed since in the past it had not paid for its own pages. Harb said he was trimming the sections that have received more space than the deserved. "I'm giving emphasis to things that I feel have been neglected in past yearbooks." He also said that Delmar would be publishing the book on recycled paper. Finances and a limited staff have been his main problems, Harb said. Although the Catamount was allocated $25,000 this year by the Student Government Association, there was a standing debt of $17,000 to be paid from last year. Harb said lie needed much more money for new facilities as well as for the book itself. He described the dark room as beyond hope. Harb said that he could not publish a book that could compare in bulk with some other schools due to a lack of money. Appalachian State reportedly puts $80,000 into their yearbook. However, Harb did say that his book's quality could compare with any. Traffic Court Happenings 21 cases were decided upon in Traffic court last night. Chief justice William Bird, granted directed innocent verdicts to Robert Augon Jr. and Patricia Young. Stephen Long, Barry Tucker, Olan Goodnight, Robert Gibbs, Neil Burns, Jerry Pugh, Jerry Godley, Sheila Ritchie, Kewin Simpson, Nancy Pomeroy, Johnny C. Leitner, Thomas Jenkins, Sherman Hunter, Dan Hin- son, Donald Fonke, Richard Carpenter, Joey Davis, and Larry Deal received verdicts of guilty and must pay all fines before May 25. The case involving Ronald Ross was dismissed. To Vets: AAC Meeting Cancelled The Veterans - Association wishes to inform all veterans that due to circumstances beyond our control, the Academic Affairs Committee meeting scheduled for last Tuesday, was cancelled.

And Dr. Clifford Lovin, acting dean of the school of arts and sciences, requested assurance that no attempt would be made to pass a document without consultation with the senate and the faculty. Carlton assured Lovin that there would be "no attempt" to act on a document without faculty participation. .... FROM Page 1 many things that Nelson said he was unable to accomplish for the students, he saw his chief mistake as appointing people to offices who could not do the job, he said. When he tried to replace them,Nelson said it caused a lot of dissension. Nelson's plans for the future include a possible job with the federal government in Atlanta, He also plans to enter law school after a few years. In advising Western's students, Nelson said, "This institution lives and breathes with its students, and it belongs to them more than anyone else.
