1 f PAGE SIX (Second Section! WCTC To Inaugurate Graduate Work Program In June For Service Degrees (See Picture, P. 3 Sec. 3) CULLOWHEE (Special Western Carolina Teachers Col lege ill open a new field in educa tional opportunities with the addi tion of a graduate division with work leading to the degree of Mas ter of Arts in Education. Paul A. Reid. WCTC President, announced that this program would go into effect with Uie first ses sion of summer school in June I9,r)l. At present this work will be carried on only in the summer srssion, but plans to make it a part of the regular 'school year arc now being considered. , In the past, graduate work has been under the direction of the University of North Carolina. This new graduate unit, however, will be solely under the direction of WCTC. This 'program is a service degree for the tcacliinu prolessiun. not the traditional research type of! Master's degree. It is designed primarily to improve the pioficieii cy of the teachers and to prepare them more adequately for their chosen areas of service. Areas of specialization include: school superintendents, principals, county supervisors, supervisors of student teaching, secondary school teach ers, elementary school teachers, and school counselors. The degree requires the comple tion of 45 quarter hours of gradu ate study which include 27 hours in education and 18 hours in a selected minor field. In lieu of six quarter hours of course work, a candidate may write a thesis in his major field. The college will accept a maximum of the nine quarter hours transferred from another recognized graduate division. President Reid said that the first degree will probably be grant ed at the end of the summer school In 1052. a After the program is launched it is expected that oif-campus classes will be established. Gradu ate study will then be continued on a twelve month basis with students returning to the campus for after noon and week end classes. The new graduate school is ex pected to attract teachers from all sections of North Carolina and near-by states who would enjoy spending the summer in the moun tains while furthering their educa tion.

Winner Of 3 Movie Oscars Still Remains Modest The windstorm that swept north eastern states on Thanksgiving Weekend, 1950, ranks third among the nation's greatest catastrophes in the amount of insurance claims. It was exceeded only by the San Francisco Are or 1906 and the Chi cago fire of 1871.

The only player to win the coveted statuette three times said this is how it's done: "It's 01) per cent material and 10 per cent acting. Without mate rial, the greatest actor in the world can't do anything." Other performers have won two awards Spencer Tracy, Fredric March, liette Davis, Lulse Rain er, Olivia de Haviland. But in the 10 years he has owned 'cm, no body has matched the three on the bookcase in Walter's North Holly wood home. Still, he remains mod est: "I don't even know I'm an actor. I don't think you act in pictures. You think. You can say 'horsefeath ers' and think 'peanuts' and pea nuts will he all over the screen. "I wouldn't hurt a fly, but I love to do heavies. Dirty guys.

But older fans, Brennan conceded, don't like him to play heavies. They prefer him nice. The lanky actor, as a Swedish lumber-camp boss in "Come and Get It", won in 1936 the first Os car awarded a supporting player. His three were among the first five given in this category. In 1938 he was Loretta Young's 84-ycar-old Great-Uncle Peter in "Kentucky". Two years later he was Judge Roy Bean, the law west of the Pecos, in "The Westerner" with Gary Cooper. On top of these honors, he was nominated for another Os car as a mountain preacher in 1941's "Sergeant York". Did the Oscars raise his salary? Walter doesn't know. His pay went up, at any rate, and: "They're swell things to get from the people in your own profession." He never votes In the Academy balloting himself. He doesn't sec enough pic tures to feci qualified. Between pictures, Brennan and his wife of 30 years usually take a commercial airliner to Joseph ure., wnosc bo7 residents last year voted him their outstanding citizen. Twenty-four miles away he owns a cattle ranch. Walter recently com pletcd a role as Virginia Mayo's cattle-rustling father in "Along The Great Divide". Would he like another Oscar? 'Anybody would," Walter said. Other winners would do well to emulate the brevity of his accep tance speeches. The first year Wal ter, who attended in a tux rented for him by the studio Dublicitv man, said, "Thank you." Next time: Thank you very much." Third time: "Thank you verv. verv much." The Sunday School folks from Long's Branch Church gathered Sunday afternoon for an egg hunt which was enjoyed by all.

Exams Show Doctors Age Early PITTSBURGH (AP) A Pitts burgh physician declares selective service examinations for doctors have revealed that they age early. Many physicians, says Dr. George E. Spencer, appear older than the selective service age limit of 50 for medics. Dr. Spencer advises the physi clans to take frequent vacations. Even an "over-night" vacation from calls will be helpful, he suggests, although he recommends three-day vacations as most helpful. The reason physicians age fast Dr. Spencer says, is that they work too hard right from the beginning when they enter college. Irregu lar hours after practice is started is another reason for early aging of doctors, Dr. Spencer adds.

Bill Lyon Furnishes Big Shoulder For Movie Tears By GENE HANDSAKEU AP Newsfeatures HOLLYWOOD When Elizabeth Taylor stepped oil the witness stand with a divorce the other day, she cried on Bill Lyon's shoulder. When Wallace Beery was lowered into his 'Fqrest Lawn grave, Bill was one-of the active pallbearers. When Marshall Thompson becomes a father next. June, Bill, as already requested by the actor, will pace the hospital corridor with him. Lyon is a movie press-agent who happens to love his job. A dapper, 42-year-old ex-habcrdasher with a trim mustache, smooth black hair, and an Immaculate desk, he is probably the busiest studio escort to the stars. He has accompanied Lassie to the city animal shelter to publicize homes-for-dogs. He has gone to court with Margaret O'Brien, Kay urown, iesiie iaron, jliz Taylor, and Debbie Reynolds to get their contracts approved. With others in his department, he helped to handle the Irving Thalberg, Jean Harlow, and Frank Morgan funer als and the Lana Turner and Liz Taylor weddings. When photos raphers were lining up their, shots of the cake-cutting ceremony; for instance, BUI held the knife against the pastry until Liz could take over the blade. Lyon gets around so much by virtue of his post as "downtown planter" at M-G-M, where he has been a tub-thumoer for 18 vears. Two days a week he visits the newspapers with photos and studio tidings. Knowing the newsmen, he is logically assigned to accompany stars in their contacts with them. Bill says: "Actually I have three bosses the press, the player, and the studio. All three may have dif ferent ideas about the same thing. If I ever leave this job, I'm going to apply for one in the diplomatic service." As a partial measure of success, he was best man at a prominent local columnist's wed ding. He dislikes stars who get snooty as succeeding options are picked up. On the other hand, Walter Pid- geon, Clark Gable, Deborah Kerr, ana nainryn Grayson are among those he regards as "honest, down-to-earth people."
