t.-.i .:,. m WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER (One Day Nearer Victory) THURSDAY, NOVEMBER i6 Page 12 't Plans For Expansion At WCTC Announced New Department In Vocational Field Is Recommended. Beginning where the study made last year on the post-war objec tives and policies of Western Car olina Teachers College left off, the faculty of the college and train ing school at the last faculty meet ing recently, adopted a five-point program for study this year desig nated U set in operation the expan sion program which grew out of the study made last year. The program for study, which was submitted by Dr. H. P. Smith, chairman of the committee ap pointed to submit a program for faculty study, and which was adopted unanimously by the teach ers present, includes the following points to be studied by the various department heads and their staffs and by special committees appoint ed by the president : 1. Re-define departmental goals in terms of the post-war expan sion program adopted last year and determine specific courses to achieve these goals. 2. Determine the number and type of teaching personnel necessary to c arry out this program. 3. Determine the number and type of new departments necessary to put this expanded program in operation, and the curriculum, per sonnel, facilities, equipment, li brary and instructional materials needed for the new departments. 4. Determine the type and amount of equipment and mater ials including buildings and labora tory facilities for every department in the college. 5. Set up a committee to work out a system of promotions and a graduated salary schedule. Any conclusions the faculty will draw from this study will be, of course, merely recommendations to the administration of this college and the board of trustees. How ever, it is in line with the philo sophy of the Southern Association of Colleges that faculties work with administrations of colleges in working out policies for their in stitutions. The recommendations made by the faculty last year were adopted almost in toto by the board of trustess and by the State Planning Board. The most important item in the outcome of last year's study and the basis on which this year's study is based was for the college to expand its curriculum to offer more fields of study to Western North Carolina students than teacher training. Especially rec ommended were two years of pre professional work in medicine, law, nursing, certain scientific fields, and special training in vocational subjects such as agriculture and industrial arts. Among other things, it is plan ned to prepare teachers in home economics and in industrial arts, and to offer degrees in these two fields. Pfc. John E.

Kite si - , IT TAKES PLENTY OF WAR BONDS TO BUILD B-29S THE WAR in the Pacific is the most costly war America has ever engaged in. It's simple arithmetic. A mountain of special, costly equipment is needed. A B-29 Superfortress used in the bombing of Japan costs $600,000 in War Bonds. And this is just one of the many extra costly implements of war needed to achieve final victory in the Pacific. That's why the 6th War Loan Drive is so important. That's why you must back it as generously as you have every other war loan drive. Invest in the .next raid on Japan , .
