  • THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN THURSDAY AUGUST 8, 1974 PAGE 3 Western plans first annual Founders Day The inauguration of a new chancellor will highlight Western Carolina University's first annual Founders Day here October 26. Dr. H. F. Robinson, former provost of Purdue University who became WCU chancellor June 1. will be formally installed as the eighth executive head of the institution, founded in 1889. Inaugural ceremonies in the morning will be followed in the afternoon with pageantry, displays, and other activities paying tribute to the original founders of the institution, which opened its doors as a little semi-public school in a two-room, rough-hewed building. Flans for the inauguration and historical celebration are being made by a committee of which Dr. Marilyn Jody, professor of English, is chairman. The day-long festivities, to which the institution is inviting the general public, alumni, and many special guests and friends of the university, will be climaxed with a big outdoor barbecue. And instead of the traditional dress-up inaugural ball, there'll be an old-fashioned hoe-down with square dancing and fiddling. In 85 years, Western has come a long way. From a struggling beginning as a school to meet educational nedds of an isolated community, the institution has become a multipurpose state university of about 6,000 students. It was first known as Cullowhee High School or simply the Cullowhee School. In 1893, a normal department was added to train students to become teachers. In 1905, with some technical skills being taught, the name was changed to Cullowhee Normal and Industrial School, a name it held for 20 years until it became Cullowhee State Normal School with instruction through the junior college level. In 1929, with legislative authorization to offer college degrees, it became Western Carolina Teachers College, the name by which it is still best remembered to thousands of older graduates. Following World War II, the institution branched into the liberal arts and sciences, and in 1953 was renamed Western Carolina College. When the state legislature moved to create regional universities in 1967, Western was among the first four formerly predominantly teachers colleges to be designated a university, and thus it became Western Carolina University. For an 85-year-old institution, the school has had remarkably few presidents. The late Professor Robert Lee Madison was the first president, serving twice in that capacity, 1889-1912 and 1920-23. The late Alonzo C. Reynolds was president from 1912 to 1920. The man who was to serve the longest term as president, the late Hiram Tyram Hunter, took office in 1923 and served until his death in 1947. Dr. Paul A. Reid, of Lake Junaluska and Clearwater, Fla., now retired, was elected president in 1949 and also served twice, 1949-56, and 1957-68. He was succeeded by Dr. Alex S„ Pow of Tuscaloosa, Ala., also now retired, 1968-71, who in turn was succeeded by Dr. Jack K. Carlton, now residing • in Chapel Hill, 1972-73. Dr. William E. Bird of Cullowhee, also retired, was president in 1956=57. 'Night Watch' closes with solid seven by J. Sanders A melody and a scream tugged Night Watch watchers away from their daily endeavors, beckoning :l ■'-m Into <..\ u-e.ie s :•ing of marUa.' Mid mental intrigue. This play- by Lucille Fletcher, done well by the WCU Little Theater, accomplished its objective of entertainment. Special credit should be given to Nancy Hammill in her role as Elaine Wheeler and Earl Willis in his portrayal of Curtis Appleby. The audience applause level substantiated my opinion of their performances. It is not my purpose to break down the cast, character by character., and list petty grievances. The entire prodjction, rated on my own scale of one to ten, closed with a solid seven,. Night Watch (CuUowhee style) lost three scale points due to the somewhat unconvincingper- formance of Dan Holloman as T+m*m John Wheeier. His best presentation of the character appeared In line* of conversational sound level, Chuck Arnej lacked a bit in filling out the role of Van- elli as well as the police uniform.

(Photo by Willard C. Davenport). Explosion rips bowling alley An explosion ripped through Eastgate Lanes bowling alley- Tuesday afternoon causing extensive damages to the building. The rear-wall of the structure collapsed, a large hole was blown out of the front wall, and the building was lifted off its foundation. Two employes, Tommy Seals and Lloyd Sellers, manager of the bowling alley were in the building but escaped unhurt. At the time of the explosion they had gone to the front of the building to answer a telephone call. The building was closed for maintenance and repairs. The two men were applying lacquer to the bowling lanes. Apparently, the highly-explosive lacquer fumes were ignited resulting in the explosion. The Sylva Fire Department extinguished the blaze. The building is owned by a group of Sylva physicians.
