  • This view of campus before Ihe trees shed their leaves serves as a reminder of area beauts before cold ssinds began to bloss. (Stokes Gate-wood Photo.) EVTEtl W A<?0LI1IA1 Vol XLII No.23 THURSDAY, NOVEMBHR 11. 1976 WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY FOB 66. Cullowhee. N< Shelton renovation rebuffed by Fred Barbour Chancellor H.F. Robinson, in a Monday meeting of the Chancellor Student Advisory Committee, said the possibility of renovating Camp Shelton was a "closed issue" as far as he was concerned. .Student Government had requested to be allowed to renovate Camp Shelton. a WCU-owned recreational facility on the shore of Lake Thorpe. flic facility, which includes a building con- structed by the university on land donated by Nantahala Power and Light, has not been used since the 1974-1975 school year. Several groups, including Housing, the University Center Board, Student Government, Outing Club, and the Interfraternity and Panhellenic s base expressed interest in renovating and using Camp Shelton. It was proposed that the facility he made available to student organizations for seminars. meetings, workshops, and parties, as well as to the general student body for recreational purposes such as swimming, canoeing and camping. A representative bods of members from interested groups surveyed Camp Shelton and mended a list of improvements svith a total cost ol approximately $5,000. It svas proposed that students ssould provide labor for the project and help raise funds. In the past, the facility was used by studcnl groups for a number of functions. Reportedly misuses of Shelton oeeurcd. Robinson told the advisors committee thai until Camp Shelton could be controlled and maintained from his office, he did not want any renovation started. SGA President Walt league said In- thought Robinson ssas "influenced by people ssho did not like the svas il ssas run before." In response to the suggestion of a committee for Camp Shelton. Robinson said he did not want lo be pressured by a committee. league said Studcnl Government and other participating parties would continue to work on long-range plans and try to convince the Chancellor thai the facility ssould be properly controlled and supervised by student organizations. Nebraska regents board meets November 20 The University of Nebraska Board of Regents, which delayed its selection of a president for the University of Nebraska at Lincoln because four of its members were up for re-election, has scheduled a November 20 meeting now that the members have regained thier offices, according to The Daily Nebraskan Editor-in-Chief Theresa Forsman. The student newspaper Editor Forsman is still speculating that WCU Chancellor H. F. Robinson is among the top candidates for the Lincoln presidency along with University of Orono President Howard Neville and Washington economic advisor Clayton Yewtter. Forsman said that these three are considered by many in the Lincoln area to be favorites for the position because they make less than the $47,500 per year salary offered for the Lincoln presidency. Robinson gets $38,600 a year here, according to 1975 base salary figures. Forsman said that although the board has remained silent about the matter, reliable reports have it that an interim president may have to be named in the November 20 meeting because current Interim President James Varner is expected to take a presidential position at the University of Missouri. Yewtter is currently being considered for a position in the upcoming Carter Administration, according to Forsman, which leaves Robinson and Neville as the top candidates. Robinson said that the only reasons he allowed his name to be put on the list of possible candidates are because he was friends with former Lincoln President D. B. Varner (which is the second most important reason Forsman said Robinson is being considered as one of the top candidates, besides the extra money), and because he recieved an honorary degree from the school. Robinson said that he had no intentions of leaving Western. Veteran aid eligibility tightens; student enrollment slackens by Kay Cobb Student enrollment appears to have taken a slight decline this year, but sources indicate that the drop is not a trend. In comparison to the Fall quarter 1975. which has the highest enrollment figure to date at WCU, the number of students attending school has slacked off slightly. A major reason for the downward trend was the tightening up of the Veteran's Administration towards students eligible for financial aid. Off-campus residents and upper-classmen were responsible for the majority of the enrollment decline. The current enrollment at Western, including WCU-Asheville. is 6,380. . 2,090 freshmen are enrolled, 702 of which began before Fall quarter. 1163 students are sophomores. 915 are juniors, and 972 are seniors. There are 1009 graduate students attending classes, and another 155 are special students who are not yet classified as freshmen. 498 of all students come to WCU from out of state. The number of those registered as full-time scholars is 4,938, as opposed to the 1,442 who are part-time. Men outnumber women by 3,357 to 3.023. Enrollment was down slightly in 1976 as opposed to 1975 when it was at a record high. Bad news is not in the forecast, however. The volume of applications received so far this year is approximately 30 per cent ahead of average. With the expansion of school facilities, administration officials predict that future enrollment will steadily : as it has in previous years.
