Western Carolinian February 8,1996 | News Bardo Outlines Plans for Western's Future by Ryan Wilkinson Staff Reporter Chancellor John W. Bardo called for increased vigor in WCU academic programs, outlined plans for a $28.4 million Performing Arts Center, and cited a number of trends important to WCU in a policy address he delivered on February 2, in Forsyth Auditorium. "The first task for all of us must be for our classes to be taught at a level we know is appropriate," said Bardo. "Instead of aiming our class at what we suppose to be the capacity of students, we must set the standard where we, in our most professional judgements, know it should be." Bardo said that if professors are not meeting their classes through the semester and final exam period and not requiring students to take comprehensive final exams, then they are violating institutional policy and this "contributes to the myth that Western is not a good university." Bardo proposed that each program develop a portfolio of senior work to be reviewed byi faculty members to determine if students are performing at the expected level of work. Bardoiaddressed the concerns of the Chancelloy John Bardo at The 1996 Policy Address Photo by Mark Hasket. faculty members who feel that the book rental system causes students to have low academic expectations. "As part of our quest to raise the quality of Western to the next level of excellence, I am willing to look at the book rental system," said Bardo. Bardo sees Western's rural location as an opportunity for the university to become a true center for performing and visual arts." Therefore, Bardo has authorized three four-year, $ 1,000 scholarships for the Music Department and requested that the Board of Governors approve the funding for a new, $28.4 million Performing Arts Center. "We can take Western to national prominence in performing and visual arts," said Bardo. "We can become the art center for thc mountains and, thereby, in ■aiyn-Ji* Meet the New itead of Admissions by J. Leatherwood Contributing Writer WCU's new admissions director hopes to increase campus diversity and upgrade the number of adademically superior students. A graduate of Emory University with a Master of Divinity degree, he has been a part of the admissions process since 1973. He takes the place of Drumont Bowman, who led the WCU admissions office for 13 years. Bickers said he became ^'accidentally involved" with higher education when he was asked by a friend to work at at North Greenville College as admissions director. At the time, he was active with church youth groups, and Bickers jumped at the opportunity. Bickers has been involved with students ever since, with directorships at various universities in the provides for students, faculty, staff and community," Bickers said. "Our most important function is supporting basic academics, suchlas classroom teaching." To this end, the admissions office plans to improve processing of student information and, according tti Bickers, develop recruitment programs to meet WCU's enrollment needs. Bicker also'intends to increase the visibility of WCU by South, such as West Georgia College and Clin alley College, VA. His wife, Phyllis, still works there as director of career planning. "My primary concern is that the admissions office is a service center that focusing on its strengths, which, in his opinion, are public safety figures and smaller class sizes. "I have heard a word to describe WCU in the few days I have been here. That word is 'family,'" he said. "One university, I recall, had 700 freshmen in one class. WCU brings students much closer with their peers and professors." "Do we build a cast of super-star students while WCU remains accessible, or do we raise the level of the floor?" Bickers asked rhetorically. "I haven't been here long enough to know what Chancellor Bardo and the faculty WCU's New Admissions Officer. Doyle Bickers. photo by Mark Haskett intend to do," "Talk to me about bur job in ! admissions, and help us recruit more students. There's only ten people in our office, and we can't do it alone, so you all i come," Bickers said. Bickers concluded that studfents i make the best recruiters. "Students are able to go home and tell their friends, family and community about the qualities of their school," he said. Radio-Free Bardo The second in a series of monthly radio programs featuring WCU Chancellor John W. Bardo on WWCU-FM, the WCU campus station, is set for Tuesday, Feb. 13. "Campus Update with Chancellor John Bardo" will be broadcast at 7 p.m. The program is hosted by John Owens, WCU assistant professor of communication and theatre arts. The one-hour program features a live interview with the WCU chancellor, along with previously recorded questions from WCU students and a j call-in segment. | Future air dates for "Campus Update with Chancellor John Bardo" are March 20 and April 10. attract fiscal and community support and exceptional students." Bardo also discussed some of the general trends, both worldwide and locally, that could have an impact on WCU in the future. He hopes that some of these trends, such as the recent increase in information technology, will provide WCU and Western North Carolina with the opportunity for economic growth. "Because of technology, specific location will become increasingly less important," said Bardo. "This opens up possibilities for places like Western North Carolina to develop an economic base that supports both its population and the excellent environment that we now enjoy." Bardo pointed out that with this increase in information, universities will begin to further emphasize the importance of "independent learning, communication skills, and intellectual capabilities that are associated with a strong liberal arts and science based education."
