  • McEniry Denies Any Controversy Acting Chancellor Hugh Mc Eniry yesterday refused to get in a head-on controversy with UNC-A Chancellor William Hi- ghsmith. Highsmith told an Asheville Citizen reporter Monday that he would ask the UNC Board of Governors for a ruling on a possible "duplication of programs" resulting from WCU's extension program at Oteen. McEniry told the faculty-administration senate that the major problem of the controversy came from the "erroneous, inflammatory headline" that appeared in the Citizen. He said that Highsmith had called him when the issue came out to mitigate any hard feelings. Highsmith was interviewed on WLOS-TV Tuesday, and Mc Eniry was interviewed yesterday concerning the issue. McEniry told members of the FAS that he wanted to "allay suspicion and soothe people's thinking" regarding the UNC-A charge. Highsmith said Monday that WCU's Oteen program was an unrealistic burden on the state's taxpayers. The Oteen program was first established at the request of Asheville's industry. Only business administration and education courses were first offered, but now there are several liberal arts courses offered at night UNC-A has only recently been converted to a four year institution. It has 1100 students compared to five times that number at Western. Enrollment at Oteen is about 700. The former junior college has basically concentrated on liberal arts. WCU, along with liberal arts, has a large enrollment of education and business majors. WCU has prided itself in serving western North Carolina. The regional university covers 17 area counties, including Buncombe County where UNC-A is located. Rivalry between the universities has been a continuing matter. While athletics and educational superiority are always casual points for controversy, UNC-A officials were alarmed in 1970 when WCU President Alex Pow mentioned a "University of Western North Carolina." UNC-A feared that it was about to be absorbed into WCl*. The basic problem was summed up yesterday by one WCU official: UNC-A has the location; WCU has the students. THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday November 15, 1973 Page 3 Profs. Not Listed Rogers Calls For English Boycott WCU students are being urged by the student government association to boycott freshman and sophomore level English courses until the English department releases the names of instructors for the master schedule. A petition condemning the actions of the English department had been signed by over 500 persons yesterday, student body president Harold Rogers said. The English department did not list the names of instructors teaching the general education courses catalogued in the master schedule. Under the new system of pre-registration, students may choose courses, hours and instructors in all subjects but English. Fumiko Asada demonstrates traditional Japanese dances during CIRUNA's program, Japan: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow." Students Provide Taste Of Oriental Customs The flag of the red sun flew in Killian Building Monday as Cir- una opened its current symposium, Japan: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. Monday afternoon's presentation prov;ided a taste of oriental customs and ideas to Cullowhee's inhabitants who often wonder what goes on beyond the boundaries of Jackson County. Japanese students from Warren Wilson College were on hand to demonstrate Japanese customs ranging from Judo and Calligraphy to the art of flower arrangement. Sam Tabachi of Osaka, Japan, who holds the black belt in judo, karate, and kendo, and Ika Okamoto, a native of Kobe, Japan, gave demonstrations in judoandkar- ate tactics. A demonstration in traditional Japanese dance was given by Fumiko Asada also of Osaka. The dance, set to native Japanese music, told a story through the dancer's movements and gestures. A demonstration of the Japanese tea ceremony was given by Hi- roko Wada of Osaka, Japan. This traditional ceremony is still used in Japan for formal gatherings, tea parties, and visits to tea houses. A sample of Japanese calligraphy was provided by Sam Tabuchi and was narrated by Sally Chou, a native Taiwanese. Calligraphy is the art of producing beautifully written Japanese and Chinese characters, or symbols representing words. The cultural experience concluded with a demonstration of Ikebana, the traditional art of flower arrangement, Hiroko/ wada, who was a student' of Ikebana for four years, made a stroking arrangement of carnations and ferns. The Japanese students, all of whom were well versed in their respective skills, answered questions posed by the curious audience as the afternoon ses- ion ended. Sandra Gaye Hall won the Homecoming crown Saturday afternoon, she is escorted by Karl Giles. (photo by Bill Mclntyre) Dr. Philip Wade, head of the English department said yesterday that he would not list the instructor's names unless asked to do so by the administration. His actions were approved by the Council of Deans when the new system of registration was first discussed. Wade defended his position by stating that such a methold of "luck of the draw" would give students an opportunity to have a number of teachers during the 5-course series. He maintained that such a system would be better for the students in the long run, because they would be exposed to more professors. He said that his decision to withhold the names was made under the assumption that no fee would be charged for drop- add. If there were such a fee, he said the department would change the policy. There will be no fee for drop-add this quarter, Cecil Brooks, dean of records and admissions confirmed yesterday. Such a fee was considered during discussions of the system of pre-registering with Queen, Football, Festival Highlight Homecoming Day Alumni of Western Carolina University traveled to Cullowhee this weekend for a Homecoming celebrated with the crowning of a new campus beauty queen, a football game with Presbyterian College, a blue grass festival, and a campus decorated to suit the weekend theme, "Take Me Home, Country Road." Acting Chancellor Wm. Hugh McEniry crowned the Homecoming Queen, Miss Sandra Gaye Hall of Mt. Airy, during half-time festivitiesatthegame Saturday. She is a junior nursing major at WCU, Dr. McEniry addressed the WCU Alumni Association at an annual luncheon and business meeting in Brown Cafeteria, (-ilenn Fuqua of Eden, director of social services for Rockingham County, assumed his duties as president of the association, and Keith Hundley of Washington, D.C, was named president-elect. Fuqua succeeds Ralph Dean of Candler. Other activities included blue grass music, a "Cats' Prowl" pep rally and a dinner at the University Center on Friday. Awards for the best homecoming displays in different categories went to Leatherwood -Helder, best residence hall; Alpha Phi Omega, best organization; Delta Zeta, best sorority; and Theta Xi and Delta Xi, tied for best fraternity. Other members of the Homecoming Court are Lynne Sarel- la of Winston-Salem; Cathy Lee Edwards of Richmond, Va., Mindy Sloop of Concord, Susan Proffitt of Black Mountain, Patricia Richardson of Mt, Dora, Fla., and Marcia Burton of Hickory. a master schedule, but details were not worked out, Harold Rogers, leader of the boycott, said that as he sees it, the only reason for not releasing the names is "to cover up the dead wood in the English department," "The heavens won't fall, the constitution wont dissolve and WCU wont be engulfed in earthquakes if he turns over the list,"'he said, quoting Senator Sam. Registration went on smoothly yesterday and sophomore English courses began closing rapidly in the afternoon despite the SGA boycott, Drug Program Gives Answers To Questions What does the word "drugs" mean to you?
