  • Normal Industrial edition VOICE Oi THE STI'DEJXTS VOL. XL No. 57 THURSDAY MAY 22, 1975 Western Carolina University Cullowhee, North Carolina Senate approves ROTC, semesters This WCU coed gives her opinion of the 1974-75 academic year,, The faculty-administration senate yesterday approved the establishment of an Army ROTC unit at Western Carolina and gave final approval for a change to the semester system,, With only one of its 25 members dissenting, the senate instructed Chancellor H.F. Robinson to tell the Army the university wants a military science program established here. The senate discarded a recommendation by the aca- demic affairs committee which had said the credit given for the military courses should not be applied to the 192 hours need- ed for graduation. According to Robinson nearly 10 other schools had their application for an ROTC already, but he said he thought WCU would get preferential treatment since it was better suited for the program than the other schools. If the Army does decide to establish the military science courses, Robinson said it would not be done before 1976 due to studies that would have to be made. It would become part of the School of Arts and Sciences, he said. According to Dr. Charles Schrader, who headed a committee to study ROTC, about 292 colleges have an ROTC program, and only 10 do not give credit. Robinson, who has been avidly in favor of the program, said yesterday he wanted to get as many different programs on the campus as possible. The senators also unanimously approved a recommendation for the university to switch from the quarter to the semester system. A steering committee to handle the change was also recommended and would be composed primarily of the academic affairs committee. In other business the senate sent a proposed athletics policy back to the committee after Dr. Marilyn Jody said the policy "says absolutely nothing." The policy stated its intent to emphasize high quality athletics that brought recognition to the university and produced winning teams. Jody said its failure to address discrimination matters made it ''somewhat offensive." Robinson also told the senate that the university would be establishing reviews of department heads, administrators, and faculty members. While the faculty would be able toassess its own members, the students also would have their chance at telling what they think of the professors. Robinson said, "if we cannot stand the evaluation by our students, then I think there must be something wrong ... with our performance." He congratulated the senators for their work this year. He described his first year as chancellor of WCU as a year of regrouping and developing procedures for advancements Next year would be one move forward on the policies established this year, he said. Accoi ding to Robinson, WCU will have 500 more students next year — 150 of them increasing the enrollment in the graduate school.
