  • THURSDAY JANUARY 9, 1975 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 9 Scott houses 18 men temporarily 18 WCU men students have been living in Scott Hall this quarter in temporary quarters on the first floor. They like it, and that's apparently a problem. The University Housing Office plans to move the men out early next week, but last night the Scott Hall Council voted to petition the administration to let the men stay. Earlier this week, the men drew up a petition and presented it to Moon Chat Sue, recently- appointed assistant dean for residence life. Russ Stevens, acting director of housing at WCU, told The Western Carolinian last night that "when we moved them in there it was on a strictly temporary basis and they knew it." Stevens said the men had been "ideal tenants," but university policy dictates that they move. The second floor of Scott is empty, Stevens said, and there are no plans to move women in. WCU has "plenty of space" for women, Stevens said, but is overcrowded in the men's halls. Proposals for co-ed halls would- help eliminate the problem of imbalance, he said, but no progress in this area is forseen until next year. Men lived in Scott last year on a temporary basis, and Stevens said it was "a very bad experience." Hell raising and destruction of property were the main problems, then, he said, but that is not the problem with the group in Scott now. Stevens said there are beds for 500 more women in the residence halls now. Elsie Mallard, a freshman member of the hall council, drew up the women's petition, which asks that the men be allowed to stay through spring quarter. Copies of the petition have been distributed in Scott and other halls across the campus, to get signatures in support of the men. "Many women in Scott feel secure in having men in the dorm," she said. "There is no reason atall why they shouldn't be able to stay. I think it would be good for us." Ty Babb was selected by his hall-mates to represent them on the Scott council. Babb said last night that all but three of the men want to stay in the hall. "There have been problems (living in Scott) but we've worked them out ourselves, he said. "Unless the University has a specific reason for moving us, we'd like to stay," he said. Sue assumes residence post Moon Chat Sue, a coordinator of resident student development at Florida State University, has been named assistant dean for residence life at Western Carolina University, A native of Hong Kong, Sue holds bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Mississippi. Before assuming his present duties here, Sue served as residence counselor and assistant counselor at FSU,. He also has been an instructor of history and political science at Georgia College. Sue is a member of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators, the American College Personnel Association, and the American Association of Higher Education. When questioned yesterday, Sue said the university has a near monopoly on student housing and should keep in mind that the student is a consumer. He said, "The students who live in the halls are customers; we need to try to make them feel at home and serve their needs. UC sponsors bridge The University Center will sponsor a Contract Bridge class during winter quarter. The class is designed to serve the player with very limited experience; however, a person who has previously played bridge should find the course both informative and enjoyable, according to the course directors. There will be twelve class meetings, each of which will last approximately two hours. A class meeting will consist of approximately thirty minutes of instruction with the remaining time devoted to bridge playing by the participants. The classes will meet at 6:30 p,m„ on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The first class meets on January 14 and the last class on February 20. The Charles H. Goren method of point count bidding will be emphasized in the presentations. Some of the topics to be covered include: The basic game, card valuation, rank of the cards, opening the bidding, which suit to bid first, no- trump bidding, doubles and redoubles, scoring, bidding responses, short club openers, pre-emptive bids, overcalls, slam bidding, defensive playing and msking your bid. The class will meet in the Red Carpet room (adjoining the Snack Bar) second floor, AJ\, Hinds University Center. The course instructor will be Cecil C. Brooks, Dean of Records and Admissions at Western Carolina University. Dean Brooks has previously taught contract bridge classes for Southwestern Technical Institute.
