TAYLOR EXECUTIVE EDITOR Basketball's not just a game to Bobby Phillips, the Catamounts' 6'6" junior guard from Salisbury, who leads the team in scoring. Phillips sees basketball as a way to improve his life while giving him a chance to be his younger brother's role model. His first experience with organized basketball ,_ame in his hometown, Alexandria, Va. "I was the waterboy for my uncle's basketball team in Virginia," Phillips said. "I will never forget when they won the championship. It was only a rec league tournament, but in the neighborhood that I was from, it was a big deal. Everyone got involved ... they lit fireworks. I remember throwing the water on my uncles and watching them play and it just carried over." Phillips moved to Salisbury at the age of 11 and began playing organized basketball. Catamount teammate Joel Flemming and Phillips played together when both were 14 years old. They starred on the Statesville Flight, a youth all- star team that went on to play in the nationals. Phillips first knew in the eighth grade that he had a talent for basketball. "It really hit me when I was going into my eighth grade year in middle school, when I dunked the basketball," Phillips said. "My coaches were like, 'Wow! Bobby Phillips dunked the ball.' All the middle school students were talking about it and it was a big thing. But at the time I didn't realize it was as big as it was. I think that really put a lot of courage and confidence in myself as far as playing basket- PHOTO MARK HASKETT/OPI Phillips slams door shut on ETSU. ball." That confidence stayed with Phillips throughout his high school career at Salisbury High where he became the school's and Rowan County's all-time leading scorer with over 1,800 points. He was a three-time all-conference and all-county selection. Phillips averaged 28.4 points per game, 8.7 rebounds per game and 4.4 assists per game during his senior year while earning all- state honors. The team compiled an 82-11 record during his four years there. Phillips chose to begin his playing career at Western Nebraska Community College for personal reasons. "My best friend from high school, Bobby Jackson, plays for the university of Minnesota," Phillips said. "In high school, he was number 24 and I was 42. Our numbers were switched around. He was called BJ One and I was called BJ Two. He went to Western Nebraska before me. He was a year older than me, so that really influenced my decision." Phillips was the sixth man on a team that had three ail-Americans, the national player of the year and the coach of the year, and which finished third in the nation. During his sophomore season, Phillips averaged 15.4 points per game and 5.5 rebounds per game on a balanced team, while graduating with honors. Pergonal reasons also led Phillips to transfer to Western, "PHIILIPS" CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 WCU Receives Notice of Reaccreditation Western Carolina University has been reaccredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The recently received notification of reaccreditation by SACS brings to a successful close a two- year process of examination of the institution. Accreditation of the university itself, as well as its ongoing programs, is required every ten years by SACS. The reaccreditation process included an extensive period of self-review completed by 18 faculty committees in 1994-95. The result is a two-volume, 450-page report examining the university's institutional purpose and effectiveness, educational programs, educational support services, library, student development services, and institutional administration and finances. That report was followed by a March 1996 visit by a 14-member reaffirmation committee composed of college and university educators from across the Southeast. Members fanned out across campus to interview faculty, staff and students and to tour departments. The visit culminated in a 100-page final report in which team menders reported their findings. The university drafted a response document addressing all questions raised in the final report. Upon review of the university's response, SACS announced reac creditation of Western and its programs. Following normal procedure, a follow-up report to SACS is due Oct. 1. "Our university has undergone a rigorous self-examination in a process that encouraged participation by the entire university community," said Frank Prochaska, director of the university's self-study and chairman of the SACS steering committee. "It is gratifying to have a group of outside professionals and educators affirm the work that we're doing here at Western, and to do so after such a rigorous review."

Calendar Changes Eliminate Fall Break BRIAN POSTELLE STAFF WRITER In response to recent legislation and a new university system regulation, both fall and spring semesters of the coming academic year will be longer. According to Frank Prochaska, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs, the changes were made to bring the university in line with standards set by University of North Carolina General Administration. New guidelines from General Administration involve increasing the number of instruction days in the semester to 75. As justification for the changes, Prochaska said that increasing days is a move to make better use of taxes spent on the university system. In September a committee, chaired by Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Richard Collings, was formed to determine what changes would be needed to bring WCU into compliance. The group did not include a member of the student body. According to Prochaska, due to deadlines the committee faced, it was unable to solicit student opinions about the changes. However, Prochaska acknowledged the importance of student opinion and said the committee probably should have sought student representation. The resulting changes include the removal of fall break from the schedule. Some students will object to this change. "You need a little bit of a break," said senior sociology major Kyle Mendenhall. "It's only two days, but at least it's something." Another significant change is that instead of having classes end on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, the holiday will include all day Wednesday. Not only will the fall semester be lengthened by elimi- nating fall break, but the spring semester of 1998 will begin on Jan. 7, shortening Christmas vacation by one week. Some other student and faculty reaction to the change in the calendar were mixed, but the majority of comments on the issue were negative. Flashback OnJanuaryl7,1973, WCU chancellor Jack K. Carlton issued his own academic calendar for the 1973-74 school year without consulting faculty or students. Although the faculty was already in conflict with the chancellor at that time, the student reaction was also negative. According to the February 1, 1973 issue of the Western Carolinian, an estimated 1200 students attended a special session of the SGA in the U.C. Grandroom to voice their opinions. And at that meeting, Carlton accepted a petition signed by nearly 2000 students abolishing the calendar. As a result of the unrest left in the wake of the meeting, 400 students left the U.C. and marched to the chancellor's home to continue the protest.
