SGA REPORT
By George Bryan
The Executive Council has re
ceived the resignation of Miss Sally
Bartoo, Secretary of the S.G.A. It
was regretted by the Council that
Miss Bartoo felt that she would
not be able to continue serving the
Student Body and the S.G.A. in
her previous capacity. She has served
the S.G.A. in a most commendable
way since she took office in the
Summer of 1965. Miss Leigh Stev
ens was unanimously elected by the
Council to the office following her
appointment by Ed Harris. The
Council was also pleased to wel
come as a member Miss Barbara
Hudson, recently elected Secretary-
Treasurer of the Freshman Class.
Leigh Stevens
New SGA Secretary
The position left vacant by the
resignation of Mrs. Linda Nelms
from the Judicial Board has been
filled with the appointment and
election of Miss Sandy Ledbetter.
Mrs. Nelms resigned her position
due to unforeseen circumstances.
The Finance Commission report
presented by Jim Day was tabled
until more time would permit a
further study on the rejection by
the Finance Commission of using
S.G.A. funds to supplement the
Drama Department. Jim Day felt
it to be unwise that S.G.A. funds be
appropriated at this time to the
Drama Department until a fairly
close estimate on the expected en
rollment for third and fourth term
could be obtained. In the past
S.G.A. funds have dropped sharply
in these terms due to a drop in en
rollment.
A formal statement on the du
ties of the new Student Center
Manager was presented by Jim Day.
The statement was accepted by the
Council and went into effect im
mediately. It was announced that
the Blood Mobile from the Ashe
ville American Red Cross will be
on campus January 10, 1966. The
Council urges the Student Body to
participate in the drive.
Dr. Highsmith addressed the
Council on a long awaited and
much welcomed topic . . . dormi
tories!! The proposed plans were
presented at this time and explained
by Dr. Highsmith. The plans will
remain in the S.G.A. office for two
weeks in order to give all interest
ed students a chance to see them.
Ground breaking will begin on the
new dorms in the Spring of 1966.
The estimated cost per term for
living in the dorms per student is
eighty dollars.
Speaking of Christmas, the best
to you and yours from your S.G.A.
RECORD
ENROLLMENT
IN U. S.
Cincinnati, Ohio — (LP.) — A
larger proportion of institutions
have increases of 15 per cent or
more in full-time students than was
true a year ago, according to fig
ures released here recently by Dr.
Garland G. Parker, University of
Cincinnati registrar and dean of ad
missions.
Although the freshman increase
will fall short of the record 17 per
cent rise of last year. Dean Parker
said an expected climb of 10-12
per cent will give the nation a new
high in first-year students. He pre
dicts a record final count of ap
proximately 800,000 freshman col
legians in the four-year accredited
colleges and universities and as
many as 1.4 million across the na
tion as a whole.
"The bulging birthrate years of
1946 and 1947 account for the hu
man potential out of which the
bumper freshman classes of last year
and this have come,” Dean Parker
noted.
"Under the impact of the oncom
ing rush of students surviving from
last year’s record class and the even
greater total of incoming freshmen
this year, the nation’s institutions
of higher education must prepare
for much larger numbers in junior
and senior levels in the next two
years,” Dean Parker warned.
"At the same time, on the trail
academically will be two more en
tering freshman classes that will be
equal at least to the present one.
"The educational world is agog
with new plans and programs eman
ating from Washington, various
state capitals, private sources, and
local campuses. The enrollment fig
ures for Ais year and next make it
clear these new venmres and the
resources underlying them will be
sorely needed.”

Round-up
. . . Upset Tusculum
December 3, this writer saw an
inspired Asheville-Biltmore team
roll to their third straight victory
by upsetting the Pioneers of Tus
culum, 82-72. The Bulldogs led the
favored Pioneers from the start. It
seems as if the shut-in feeling the
dogs suffered at Greenville was
counteracted by giving the Pioneers
a "lost-in-space” feeling.
The Bulldogs, playing without
starter Bill White, hit 57% of its
shots to the shouts of 350 fans. Jim
Baker again took scoring honors for
the game with 26 points. It seems
as if Baker has found his spot. Jer
ry Green took 20 points to the
dressing room; Butch Garvin, 15;
and Jim Zentz, 10. The game was
tied many (seven) times, but out-
side-the-key accuracy and a click
ing fast break gave the Bulldogs
the victory.
The game was marred only by
the bad sportsmanship of Tusculum
player Fred Eschweiler. Eschweiler
harassed Green throughout the
game and in the face of defeat felt
the need to take his emotion out on
Jerry. However, forward Larry Ro
land and a few fans stopped him
even though Roland got a bloody
nose for his efforts.
Coach Hartman is to be congrat
ulated for putting the Bulldogs in
prime shape.
most of the game but in the tra
ditional A-B manner the game was
forced into overtime by the steals
of Baker and Garvin. With the
score tied at 61-61, the overtime
began. "Field goals by Green and
White and two free throws by
White gave A-B a quick six-point
lead in the overtime . . . White ac
counted for seven of the 13 points
scored by A-B in the overtime.”
Jim Baker again led the Bull
dogs scoring column with 23 points.
Big Bill White — obviously recov
ered from the food poisoning that
kept him out of the Tusculum
game—^made up for his absence by
scoring 19 points. Garvin brought
home 14 points, Green 9 points,
Zentz 6 points, and Lindley 3 points.
A-B collected 10 fouls and King
College, 13.

Although this writer was unable
to attend the basketball game at
King because of an inopportune
test, I understand the Bulldogs had
their hands full. Because I did not
attend, most of the text will come
from the AsheviUe Citizen-Times.

Although the Western Carolina
Holiday Tournament at Roberson
Gym was at first looked upon as a
possible disaster for the Bulldogs,
this did not come true. In the first
game on 'Thursday night A-B faced
Athens College, and lost. The 78 to
68 final score does not reflect the
closeness of the game however.
Both teams were noticably off for
most of the game and the score at
the half was only 2 5-all. The gen-

erally sloppy ball played by A-B
that night prompted many to be
lieve the Friday night contest with
Western Carolina would be a run
away for the latter. The 83-68
margin of victory for Western does
not reflect the closeness of the
game either. The Catamounts, who
were never seriously challenged in
any previous games this year, were
in peril until the final minutes
when their better bench strength
wore down the A-B troops. Jim
Baker kept the Western coach, Jim
Gudger, sweating most of the night
as he scored A-B’s first 13 points
and bucketed 26 for the night.
The Saturday game was close again,
but the Bulldogs came out on top
64-60 over Concord to preserve a
5-3 record at press time.
