XLII, No. 38 CULLOWHEE, N.C Faculty Senate hears new "Listener" program bv RAY CONEYS Stall Writer A plan for allowing "listeners" to sit in on classes at WCU was the main topic of dicussion at the WCU Faculty Senate meeting yesterday. flic plan calls for allowing people to attend classes without having been admitted formally at WCU, and without having to go through the hassles of registration.

Tickets will be distributed on campus this week and Monday. They can be bought even if one does not plan to go to the jam but wants to help get the sax back to the Sax Man. Hardin said. All proceeds go to Morton's sax. Tickets are available from Larry Hardin, the Journey's End on Mill St. in Sylva. The Bridge, and from several students who will be named on posters to appear in Cullowhee this week, he said.
