? Asheville-Biltmore ? VOL. I ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA. OCTOBER 17, IqIF NO. 1 STUDENT OFFICERS ARE ELECTED A-B Enrollmenf' Totals 307 For Fall Semester By Monty Du Puy When the “old school ' opened its doors to the inpouring students for the 1947-’48 semester, every hope of the faculty and staff was fufilled. Dr. Bushey, the newly elected president, revealed that he anticipated an approximate en rollment of 300 students. This an ticipation was extremely close, since there are 307 now registered and attending daily. This is quite an increase over last year’s stu dent body, as the number has risen 65 from the previous enroll ment of last semester’s two hun dred two. ACCORDING to Dr. Bushey, slightly over 50 per cent of the present enrollment is composed of servicemen who are taking advan tage of the opportunities offered them through the G. I. Bill of Rights and are finding Biltmore well suited to their requirements. Biltmore has seen many hous ings since its original opening m the Biltmore High School build ing slightly less than 20 years ago. From there it was moved into part of the Lee H. Edwards High School, and from there into one of the buildings which was hous ing the old Asheville Normal on their grounds just off Biltmore Avenue. After leaving that loca tion it was transferred to the Da vid Millard Junior High School and then to the present grounds on Merrimon Avenue. When Biltmore first began ope rations in its new setting there were nearly one hundred on the student roll and fourteen the total number in the faculty. Yes, Bilt more has come a long way in its twenty years of accomplishments and everyone is pulling this sem ester right onto the top of the list. Soon able to expand into the new building now under construction on the compus, the school is pre pared to serve all those who enter in the best way possible and put the name of “Biltmore” in the top bracket of educational institutions. 4 iiii: CLASS PRESIDENTS—James Hensley, above lefl, and Sonny Camerol were elected presidents of the sophomore and freshman classes, respectively, at a recent student election. The newly elected officers will take office immediately. Debating Club Officers Named John Giezentanner was elected president of the debating society recently organized at the college at the first meeting of the group held last week. Other officers are Noah Stewart, vice-president; Lucy Woodberry, secretary, and Kenneth Bailey, social chairman. The group is contacting various junior colleges in this area to ar range debates. The first debate is scheduled for the first week in December with Mars Hill. REVIEW BOARD IS ORGANIZED BY PRESIDENT By Joe Morris Stressing the need for continued school spirit and outlining plans for the establishment of student personnel board, Glenn Bushey, president, held his first news con ference last week. Dr. Bushey reiterated his former request for student participation in varied activities. “If a college is to grow in the mutual benefit of the student and society, there must be a definite element of school spirit on the part of eacti student,” the president said. THE STUDENT personnel board is something new here at Ashe- ville-Biltmore. Composed of Mr. Hanaman, Mrs. Serota, and Dr. Bushey, the board will interview cases of infractions of rules of conduct. Under present plans, an offender will be placed on proba tion for a period of time and in the event of a second offense, ex pulsion will be recommended by the board. Another function of the board will be to see that a “C” average is maintained by all students. If a student fails to make a “C” average by the end of the first quarter, he will be placed on pro bation. An undesirable average at the end of the second quarter will result in the expulsion of the student. Name Contest On For School Scandal Sheet What’s a school without a newspaper and what’s a news paper without a name? Mrs. Godwin’s journalism class is furnishing the news paper, and now it’s up to you, the student body to furnish the name. IN ADDITION to handing down a title that will be car ried on this twice-a-month pub lication for years to come, a prize of $5 in hard cash has been offered to the successful contestant. Here’s the way the contest will work: On Monday, Oct. 20, Mrs. Godwin will begin accepting entries in the “You Name It” competition and will continue to accept them until the follow ing Friday. AT THAT TIME, a commit tee composed of one facuky member and two disinterested students will select the most clever, most suitable name foi the paper. Members of the journalism class have been ruled out, but all other students are invited and urged to submit a title. These titles should be written on a slip of paper, also bearing the name of the contestant. Only one restriction—each stu dent is limited to one entry. James Hensley, Sonny Camerot Given Offices By Nickie Bonarrigo James Hensley was elected pre sident of the sophomore class and bonny Camerot was elected presi dent of the freshman class at meetings held on Thursday, Oct. 9. NicJcie Bonarrigo was elected vice-president and Kenneth Bailey was named secretary-treasurer of the sophomore class.. Bob Yar borough was named vice-presi- aent of the freshman class. The meetings were held in the new building which has just been completed, with the president and the vice-president of the student council presiding. These two of ficers were elected last year as is the custom under the Constitu tion of the Student Government. 'i ne president is Frank Messer and the vice-president, Katherine Se vier. THE PRESIDENTS of the two classes automatically become members of the council. Other members of the council include three representatives from the freshman class and three from the sophomore class. These repre sentatives will be selected some time in the near future. The Con stitution specifically states that members of the council shall maintain an average of “C” in their school work. The council secretary will be selected from the council body. The Constitution provides that a faculty member be elected by the council and approved by the faculty to act as a faculty repre sentative. It is the duty of the council to faithfully execute the intents and purposes of the or ganization as expressed in the Constitution. AS A PERMANENT project, the student council is responsible for half of the assembly programs to be presented periodically throughout the year. The vice- president serves as co-chairman of the assembly committee with a faculty adviser, selected by the President of the school. The Student Body shall petition the Council for any measure they want enacted. They are required to prepare a petition which shall be clearly stated, signed and pre sent it to the council at a regular meeting.
