DHL MAKES
STUDENT BODY
SURVEY HERE
Cullowhee, Mar. 24 (Special)?
Dr. Joseph H. Bunzel of Asheville
College, coordinator of the
study of junior colleges, is making
a study of regional Western
North Carolina through the
study of the colleges and what
social and "economic needs of
the communities in which they
are located they are meeting.
H i s study includes Western
Carolina Teachers College which
he visited last week.
Dr. Bunzel's birthplace is in
the Alps. He remarked in the
interview "I am a hillbilly, coming
first to the city at the age
of seventeen. I don't think there
is much difference in mountain
customs and people any where."
He studied Sociology at the Sor- i
bonne in Paris, and psychology
at Genoa.
Dr. Bunzel taught sociology
last summer at Johns Hopkins
University in Baltimore. He has
lectured at the University of
Chicago. He has made a study
of arts of all types and the
theater since he has been in
America. Before he came to the
United States he wrote plays,
some of which were produced,
poetry, and newspaper articles.
Dr. Bunzel is at present on the
faculty of Asheville College. He
was appointed by Dr. Frank
Foster, president of Asheville
College and the head of the regional
board of Education, to
make a survey of colleges in
Western North Carolina. The
General Board of Education is
financing this project but the
regional board carries on the
work. Dr. Bunzel hopes to help
the college -communities throughhis
study. He was picked for
this position by the regional
board because he knows "nothing
about the south and has no
bias."
