  • THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1977 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Dr. Carlton 'partially exonerated' • i • The Middle ..Tennessee State University (MTSU) Faculty Senate Monday defeated a resolution calling for the resignation of Ml SI1 Vice-president for Academic Affairs Dr. Jack K. Carlton, former WCU chancellor. But MTSU English professor Dr. William H. Holland,: . who wrote the resolution naming Dr. Carlton in connection with charges.similar to those leveled against "him in 19-73 at Western, said the 18-12 vote was "only a partial exoneration, it it was an exoneration at all. We've uncovered a few prohlems, and forced him (Dr, Carlton) out into the open." . The charges against Dr. Carlton of intimidation of faculty, usurpation of department chairmen's rights, '■'unfair, treatment of faculty, and reduction of university morale Were referred to a special ad-hoe committee of senior tenured'faculty members by the MTSU Faculty Senate April 11. The special committee after having heard £0 witnesses and having read many pages of university documents, told the Senate Monday that it had not found "sufficient documented evidence to justify his (Dr. Carlton's) resignation," but that it had several recommendations to make to Dr. Carlton and the University of Tennessee (UT).Board of Regents. Dr. Holland said, "12 people out of 30 is no small minority. We (the faculty members seeking Carlton's resignation) have the support of several regents, who are keeping their eyes open, and Dr. Carlton knows it. We forced his hand, so to speak." Dr. Carlton, who served at Western from August 1972 to September 1973. resigned from his WCU post after a year of controversial administration which embittered students, split the faculty, lowered enrollment and university morale, and fulminated with an investigation by a speeial University of North Carolina (UNC) Board of Governors committee. in Cullowhee, Dr. Carlton dictated academic calendars to students and faculty and tenure policies to a faculty tenure committee, instituted the current housing contract policies at WCU, and caused several top faculty members to resign and student demonstrators to march on the Chancellor's Home. At MTSU Holland said Dr. Carlton rewrote department chairmen's reports to the UT Regents, and told a new tenure and promotion committee what to legislate and after the policies were published referred all complaints to committee members. After having left WCU, Dr. Carlton served as an assistant to UNC-system President Dr. William Friday, until mid-term 1975 when, on Dr. Friday's recommendation, the University of Tennessee Board of Regents appointed him to his current position at MTSU, a school of 10,000 students near Murphreesboro, Tennessee. Dr. Carlton's secretary yesterday said he had no comment. % Patti Wilson, a Gastonla native who plays in the No. 1 spot on Western's Women's Tennis Team, downed Romi Topp of Hendersonville for the second year in a row to capture the women's singles division of the American Cancer Society Tennis Tournament.

Gifted kids march A large majority of the 391 high school students in WCU's summer gifted program marched on the Chancellor's Home at 9:15 p.m. last night with arms outstretched and the first two fingers together to protest the postponement of pay of their 22 counselors, who marched with them. The peaceful protest was reminiscent of the days of the Reverend Martin Luther King because it was no more than a march to the residence of WCU Chancellor H. F. Robinson and a very orderly presentation of grievances, but the characters were younger, almost all white, and concerned with money, not civil rights. The counselors will receive 60 per cent of their pay today. "Most of us have car payments and/or bank loans to pay off—and we gotta live this month besides—and we just can't afford it. When we get our other 40 per cent next month, we'll end up paying taxes and everything twice," one of the counselors said. WCU student comments on the march varied from, "Well, the damn counselors don't keep 'em in control, why should they get paid anyway?" to "They're using those kids like the Christians used the children in the crusade!" to "Jeez, damned kids marching on Cotton!" The consensus was, however, that the march was the most well-behaved group of high school kids on-campus in a long time. The checks were apparently delayed because of some error "in the Bureaucracy," according to another counselor. No official comment was available at press University Book Store prices committee meets On the recommendation of the Student Senate, a five member committee has been formed to investigate the pricing policy of the University Book and Supply Store. The investigation is underway to determine the possibility of decreasing the price of books purchased by students, and the feasibility of providing a buy-back policy which would allow students to purchase used books instead of new ones. The five member committee is headed by Chairperson Carrol Acuff and advisor Lonnie Hamm. Other members are Senators Nancy Hope and Tony Brown, and Cary Schley, student at large. Hamm is a graduate student at WCU and will become a faculty member here in the fall. The committee is not the first of its kind here at WCU. Attempts have been made twice before, but both attempts apparently fell prey to extensive political entanglements. Hamm emphasized that the committee is not an attempt to chastise the management of the store, but rather to seek their cooperation in determining whether additional service can be rendered to students without damaging the bookstore. "Our goal is to determine if prices are justified, and if any policies can be corrected for the benefit of both the students and the bookstore," Hamm said. The committee will first look at other universities in North Carolina which offer textbooks for sale to students to see if their policies or procedures might be applicable to Western's bookstore. Hamm at this point does not believe that an audit will be necessary, since the voluntary cooperation of the bookstore management is being sought. The committee will also seek a breakdown in price of textbooks, compared to a similar breakdown of the price of other merchandise offered to students. The committee has learned that the bookstore is in the unusual position of being run by the university, but is essentially left on its own as a business. It receives no state financing, and must go through conventional banking means for money. It also pays all the usual bills that a private business would pay, except the rent of its building. The bookstore must tolerate certain unusual expenses also, such as bearing the cost of delinquent books which have not been turned in by students. Hamm reports that this alone represents a large sum of money lost by the bookstore. The SGA committee is meeting on a weekly basis during the summer, and hopes to present a report by Fall. A final proposal may be issued by another committee later on, possibly comprised of both faculty members and students, which would suggest the appropriate changes in bookstore policy and procedure.
