  • The^rvfestern Carolinian THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1977 Vol. XLII, No. 65 CULLOWHEE, N.C. Board of Governors visits WCU I want to express my thanks to the students, staff, faculty, and administrative officials whose efforts were responsible for the favorable reactions from the members of the Governance Committee of the Board of Governors and President Friday and his staff during their visit with us last week. The campus was clean and presentable in every respect. The visitors had only positive comments following visits with many individuals and groups througout the university while the) were on our campus. Thank you for such a favorable presentation of our University. H. F. Robinson 300 - plus seen in EH 100 Six members of the Board of Governors ot the University of North Carolina and UNC President William Friday visited WCU last Thursday and Friday. The visit was informal and the governors, who are members of the governance committee of the state-wide board, followed a largely unstructured schedule during their visit, according to Dr. H. F. Robinson, WCU chancellor. Members of the Board of Governors on the trip included Jacob H. Froelich Jr. of High Point, chairman of the governance committee; Philip G. Carson of Asheville, Macea A. Sloan of Durham, Luther H. Hodges Jr. of Charlotte, Mrs. Hugh Morton of Linville and J. Aaron Prevost of Hazelwood. Friday morning the governors, Dr. Friday, and Chancellor Robinson ate breakfast with student leaders in Dodson Cafeteria. The students included Carol Acuff; Ron Clinc and Jake Philips from WWCU; Pat Murphy and Gary Brown from SGA; and Rick F.ichhorn from the Western Carolinian. The topics of discussion were light and the breakfast was a successful 'get acquainted' session. Dr. Friday reiterated his position on the Health Education and Welfare Department versus UNC, stating"we intend to carry forward our plans from four years ago." Friday also made clear the UNC system is "committed to a program of integration." Dr. Friday is still negotiating with HEW about the desegregation guidelines handed down to the state system the week of July 4. The guidelines are the result of a suit filed in a U.S. Distric Court in Washington, D.C. by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). UNC has until the last week of August to submit a plan to enroll, graduate, and employ more blacks at the ten predominantly white UNC schools and more whites at the five predominantly black schools. (The N.C. School of the Arts, also predominantly white, was not included in the guidelines). HEW then has 120 days to report to the The court rejected the plans it approved in 1974 for North Carolina and five other southern or border states. Dr. Friday said HEW and UNC may be on a "collision course" over many of the guidelines, particularly those requiring new programs be given priority at predominantly at black schools, and those calling for a two and a half tii black enrollments in the predominantly white schools. Entering freshmen verbal SAT scores down Of the estimated 1,300 to 1,400 freshmen scheduled to enter WCU this Fall, as many as 300 to 350 will be taking Basic Composition, EH 100, because their verbal SAT scores are below 350, according to several university officials and English professors. Dr. Philip T. Wade, professor and head of the English department, explained that the course is usually taught in one section by a professor and graduate assistants, but this Fall will be divided into two sections taught by two professors. Dr. Wade said his rough figures now show that approximately 175 to 200 freshmen will be taking what some students and professors call "Bonehead English," a class which last Fall contained only about 125 freshmen, and that more are on the way. However, WCU admissions officials said average SAT math scores are up for the entering freshmen class and more of the class is expected to place out of MATH 101. Survey of Mathematical Concepts. The admissions office did not have many specific figures, but Assistant Admissions Directors Lee Starnes and Barbara Brown helped put things into perspective. Starnes explained that freshmen are accepted at Western more according to high school senior class rank and projected QPR than SAT scores. He said on a scale of ten, class rank rated approximately 6.5. and SAT scores 3.5 in considering applicants. Miss Brown estimated the entering 1977-78 freshman class will be between 1,300 to 1,400 and said that last year's entering class numbered 1288. That means last Fall approximately 9.7 per cent of the entering class had verbal scores under 350, and that this Fall that figure could rise to as high as 24 per cent. The specifics might be available from Joseph Creech. Turn to Page 3
