Page 8 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN THURSDAY JANUARY 9, 1975 Power 'advise' change to semester system by Mike Tuggle Every four-year state school in North Carolina is either utilizing or planning to implement the semester system. The "advice" from the Chapel Hill powers is that Western Carolina must change also. Chancellor Robinson has been practically inundated with letters from the top of the North Carolina Board of Governors emphasising that he and the school he both represents and serves are quite free in the matter of the course which they wish to follow—however, these letters to Robinson have devoted much of their content to pointing out the myriad advantages for a uniform calendar for the Senators consider utility fee increase The first student senate meeting of the quarter saw one resolution passed and another defeated. The resolution which passed requests that the Utilities Commission of North Carolina begin public hearings pertaining to the service and operations of the Western Carolina Telephone Company. Student senators say, "the service and operations of the equipment of the Western Carolina Telephone Company is not conducive to a productive, effective, and enjoyable environment for the people of Western Carolina." Senate president Roland Johnson yesterday said a public hearing would be held in the Jackson County courthouse for anyone to voice disapproval of a proposed rate increase by Western Carolina Telephone Company. The hearing will be January 14 and 15 starting at 9 a.m. The meeting with WCTC and campus leaders is scheduled for Jan. 16. Asking that anyone with complaints about the telephone 0 B s C u R E D C A P T S s I N E c U R E S 0 M A H A c A E s A R E A N p A N E L A L A A N N A 1. i s ■ F R 0 R I K K L 0 N G E A R E 0 S K Y I S W A G N E R I A N P T s S E D A T E R s P A L A E 0 R E S I D E ■ A R B I T E R S R E s T E N N E S S E E S T A T S 0 L E G T E A M S A M 0 K M U G ■d|o L L 0 P E R I I D A H 0 L A T E 0 W N E R C I T E R S N E E R E D A T S 0 E U R E S S A Y E R S service turn them in to him, Johnson emphasized that the complaints need to be specific including the date, the complaint; and the company's response. He said he hoped to help block the rate hike or at least guarantee better service. He said he had numerous reports that phone bills were too high,_ it took months to get phones installed, and the university was receiving bad service from the utility. Johnson added that these written complaints will be introduced at a joint meeting of the SGA and the telephone company on January 16. In other business, the senate defeated a bill that would have placed the director of the refrigerator leasing program on partial commission for his services. The initial intent of the resolution was to encourage better performance by the program's director. Whether the senate didn't believe this would be a feasible incentive or they just didn't want to change the standard of payment was not clear. Nevertheless, the bill was defeated by two vote s, 11 -9, North Carolina university system. No doubt, the semester system has substantial advantages, but the method with which it is being practically forced upon that both students and faculty will have to cope with, particularly- the potential problems of students planning their student teaching. The earliest that such a basic change could be implemented, he added, would be in two and a half years, marking the Fall of 1977 as the premier year of Western's conversion. Western reeks of sloppy power politics. Granted, the reasons for such a course of action are laudatory; consolidating the uniform effort of the state edu= cational system, which will provide for a more organized use of existing facilities, and so forth—but "Cotton" admits that he has had orders given to him before in similarly indirect but certain terms, and is actually optimistic about the coming change. Robinson termed the calendar change as a chance to participate in a "major aca=- demic revolution." Rather than grumbling about the "fait accompli" decision from Chapel Hill, Robinson wants to use the change to work toward Western's large-scale re-evaluation of each department's goals, with particular emphasis on the objectives of the courses of instruction being offered. Indeed, Robinson said, "It's been my experience that if a school wants to maintain its greatest potential in serving the students, it should shake itself up every ten years or so." Since the calendar change "has to be" Robinson believes that it should constitute more than a "mere mechanical change." He stressed the fact that the change was not his idea, but since he must do what must be done, he was going to make the best of it. However, he expressed concern for the problems that will necessarily arise with the re-adjustment STI offers Cherokee, 6 handicraft courses Southwestern Tech will be teaching the Cherokee language at Western Carolina on Tuesday and Thursday of each week this quarter.
