  • Th& Cai^dLiMiaM YOU K OF THE Ml IHiMS VOL. XXXIX N0# 35 THURSDAY JANUARY 31,1974 WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY CULLOWHEE, NORTH CAROLINA Rogers Gets Reply by Dwight Sparks Harold Rogers got the apology that he demanded from James Glenn, chairman of the Board of Trustees yesterday. Glenn told an anecdote last Thursday at the interview with Dr. Albert DeRosier, candidate for chancellor. The story was about a young ruffian from Glenn's hometown in Monroe, N.C. who was always looking for fights. According to Glenn, the boy was bigoted, pugnacious and rather insane. Glenn had seen the boy one night carrying a large stick. The boy told Glenn he was going to the black section of Monroe looking for a "nigger fight," Glenn said the young belligerent came back with a broken arm. The trustee's chairman then compared the story to Western Carolina, and told the students that if they were looking for a fight they could find one from anyone that they provoked. The Asheville banker has a wide reputation for having "a story for all occasions," and some students were amused by- Glenn's story of the belligerent youngster. However, Rogers, who has reportedly been at odds with Glenn for actions Glenn took in the chancellor selection committee, expressed his indignation at Glenn's anecdote. Rogers wrote Glenn demanding an apology. He told the student senate Monday that if Glenn did notapologize he would take the story to "every newspaper in the state." Rogers said the story was "totally out of order, shockingly insensitive, and completely un-called for. This University deserves to be represented by a higher standard of justice and morality." Glenn wrote back that he regretted that he had offended anyone by his "fighting story." He wrote that at the time it had seemed in good taste. "To those who were offended, I extend my sincerestapologies —no offense was intended. I simply wanted to caution all present that we should not form our battle lines before we knew what the fight would be about." "As for morals, it would be hoped that my morals would be examined thoroughly, particularly as they relate to minority groups—Blacks, Jews, Indians, and the like. Just this week I placed a Black on the Asheville Board of Directors of my bank—certainly a first in this part of the country. "Harold, there is much good about our University, our trustees, our faculty, and our administrators. Let's look for the good In all of them, I personally believe we will live a more pleasing and certainly a happier and more content life," wrote Glenn. Snack Bar Gets New Management Ms. Barbara Brown, Assistant Admissions Director. (Photo by Steven C. Cook) WCU Hires First Black Administrator by Dwight "A lot of people expect you to fail," said Barbara Brown, WCU's new assistant admissions director, about women in professional jobs. "It doesn't bother me, but it puts the pressure on you to produce," she stated. Last week Ms. Brown joined the WCU staff as its first black member. She will recruit students for Western. A native of Lynchburg, Va., the attractive 25-year-old graduated with a psychology degree from Case Western Reserve of Cleveland, Ohio. Since then she has been a social worker and, for a short period, an insurance salesman in Greensboro. She has worked as a counselor, group worker, director of a public housing project and also a community organizer. Outspoken on a variety of subjects, she said, "Its hard for men to get over the idea that the woman's place is in the home," Agreeing with Shirley Chis- olm that black women receive more repression due to sex instead of race, she said that white professional men could accept competition more easily from a black man than from any woman. Ms. Brown said she would never attempt to change a man's oppressive feelings about women, because "there are some women who like them that way." While quick to say that shp is not a hard-nosed "Women Libber," she did say that thi women's movement has helped Sparks her tremendously in gcttlngbet- ter educational opportunities and jobs. An active participant in the early sixties racial protest movement, Ms. Brown was a member of the Jr. NAACP that staged sit-ins at Woolworth stores in Lynchburg. When asked about the seemingly dormant stage of the Black Movement, Ms. Brown quickly asserted that "it's still in effect, but in a different way." "Instead of the violence of the Sixties, blacks are now working on the inside," she said. While maintaining that the protests of that period were necessary, she said changes could now be made by discussion and voting. "One means isn't effective all the time," she said. Concerning features of WCU that would possibly discourage students from cominghere.Ms. Brown said the student would "have to be looking for a rural setting, and perhaps be the out- of-doors type. Most people now are brought up near a city," she said. Black students might be discouraged at the absence of a black community in Cullowhee, according to Ms, Brown. On the positive side, Brown said that Western had basically a complete undergraduate program that is progressing. She said the nursing program was a big drawing card for students in that area. WCU has "well rounded activities" for a rural community, she added. by Randy A modernized service of savory foods has arrived at the UC's Snack Bar and restaurant by way of Saga Food Service. Saga is a privately owned company with branches throughout the country. It is the largest of university food services. The coming of Saga to WCU resulted with the retirement of Mr. Jim Jacobs who was director of the snackbar. Saga has been in contact with WCU for about six years and was eventually chosen by WCU to take over the V.C. operations. Representatives from Saga are in charge of changes in the current system. Ideas for improvements were submitted to WCU by Saga and the university is paying for physical improvements. The changes are for the students who are felt by some to deserve better quality. Watch this week as the old Snack Bar Is converted Into a combination snack bar, delicatessen, cafeteria and doughnut shop. The wall and door which separated the mysterious, carpeted dining room has been torn down. A paint job and new fixtures will give the old Snack Bar an atmosphere comparable to a pizza parlor or delicatessen. The counter is to be extended so that two separate lines can form depending on what Is to be bought. One end will serve the conventional snack bar items such as hamburgers, french fries and milk shakes. Better service with a cook-to-order policy will be initiated. TJie other line will feature a hot plate special, delicatessen-type sandwiches, a salad bar and pizzas. The hot plate special will consist of meat and vegetables. Submarine, ham and cheese on rye, and Abee pastrami arc examples of the sandwiches to be served. The salad bar will be a self-service operation. Fresh, hot doughnuts will be featured at breakfast. After the second floor snack bar is completed and in full swing, attention will be focused on the third floor restaurant, Added atmosphere will result from partial redecoration. A better luncheon service with added variety in the menu is planned. The restaurant will experiment by having a dinner service at night. The menu will be steak with special features. The restaurant will open at night a few days a week. If the demand dictates it will open every night, Prices will be the same on all present items, and prices on new itmes will be within the price structure now in effect. Although some new employees will be hired, all now employed at the Snack Bar will remain. New employees will be hired by Saga, and WCU students are welcome to apply. Hours will be the same unless demand calls for more. The new manager for the Sanck Bar and restaurant is Tracy Morgan. He comes to WCU from Arizona State University where he was one of two managers at the student union building, Morgan worked at an operation similar to the one proposed at WCU but on a larger scale. Morgan said he works for the students and wants their opinions on the food and services at the U.C. Morgan feels that the only way to be successful in the food service business is to listen to the customers and give them good food. A suggestion box will be installed somewhere in the snack bar for the students' ideas. Enrollment Reaches Record High Level Winter quarter enrollment at WCU now stands at 5,428, the highest it has ever been, according to Cecil Brooks, dean of records and admissions. Brooks said the present enrollment represents an overall increase of 5.78 percent over last winter's enrollment of 5,131. He attributes the rise to whopping increases in graduate and part-time students. The largest gain—63 per cent —was in the area of part-time students, with 1,008 presently enrolled. Last winter there were 618 part-time students recorded. The number of WCU graduate students has grown from 40'' last winter to 649 now, an ir crease of 60.6 percent, Broc , said. By contrast, the number of undergraduate students has risen to 4,779, an increase of 1.1 percent over last winter. There are 93 fewer full- time students this winter than last, a decrease of two percent, and 32 fewer out-of-state students, for a seven percent decline in that category. The number of women students is up ten percent this winter, while the number of men students has increased only 2.4 percent. Brooks said the rise in part-time enrollment more than offset the slight decline in full- time enrollment, resulting in a 3.1 percent increase in full- time-equivalent students, a term used by the state for funding purposes.
