Dr. James A. Butcher, who assumed duties as president of Shepherd College on Aug. 1, 1968, was formally inaugurated Saturday as fourth president of the college. Many dignitaries and representatives of 50 colleges participated in a ceremony at which the formal addressed were delivered by Dr.

Butcher and by Dr. Hurst Anderson, honorary chancellor of American University. In i inaugural address, Dr. Butcher pledged to make Shepherd College "a home for the spirit of learning." He staled a special concern for making eastern West Virginia a better place in which to live, with more opportunity for the young people who have the academic ability and who deserve the opportunity to carry to completion a course in higher education. Dr.

Butcher also voiced pride in the history of Shepherd College and confidence in its future. He called upon all who are in the college community to recognize the far-reaching effect of their daily work with the young people whom Shepherd College is pledged to serve. Butcher, 40, is a native West Virginian. He served a number of years as teacher and principal in schools in other parts of the slate. The new college president joined the staff at Shepherd in 1961 as assislanl professor of education and director of Elementary Education.

In 1905, he was awarded the doctor of education degree by American University and resigned his position at Shepherd to become professor of education at American University. Butcher returned to Shepherd as director of Teacher Education and chairman of the Division of Education in 1967. In i inaugural address, Butcher said, "it is with humble gratitude and dedication that I stand here today. As a native West Virginian, I gratefully accept the privilege to lead this institution and hopefully to help this college to play a role in aiding young men and women to prepare for future living and to make a contribution to mankind." "The world is his who can see through its pretensions," the new Shepherd Collge president stressed. "There is not good reason why we should fear the future not the challenges it presents." "Though the problems be new," he continued, "and the tasks before us different from those of our fathers who founded and preserved this institution, the spirit with which we meet these problems remains essentially the same." PRESIDENT JAMES A.

BUTCHER "I have faith in students" "I welcome the privilege to lead historic Shepherd College which stands on the threshold of a bright and productive future," he told the audience. "A course must be charged and plans must be made and then it is the duty and responsibility of the administration to see to it that concrete steps are being taken to fulfill these plans." Butcher promised that faculty, students and community leaders would be consulted in planning for the college's future. Butcher said it would be his goal to "raise questions, propose programs, and influence leaders" to make them realize that Shepherd can a will make this a better area in which to live. The new college president praised the youth of today when he said, "America never had finer young people." "They are troubled," he said, "and distressed by world conditions and giant powers who have the ability to destroy most of mankind. But, they are also truly concerned about ignorance, disease and poverty." "I have faith in Butcher added.

"Their idealism is not all bad, and their solutions to problems won't cure all our ills, but here at Shepherd, we do plan to listen and consult with fine young men and women, for they very well may have something worthwhile to tell us which would improve Shepherd College." But in his praise for the college and students, Butcher did not forget the faculty, which he said, "is in reality the college itself, the lifeblopd of the institution, the stabilizing feature and the facilitator of the learning involved." "I am pleased that Shepherd College has many professors who are willing and capable to make learning a living part of each students," Butcher claimed. The new president said it is his responsibility to "create and maintain a climate in which both learning and teaching will flourish." "This will mean," he continued, "an intellectual environment in which imaginations are stirred, which fosters confidence that worthwhile things can be done, and where freedom and security go hand in hand with a sense of obligation and loyalty." "This I strive to do," he pledged. In i closing remarks, Butcher recited a creed which he said would be his philosophy: is a destiny that makes us brothers; None goes his way alone; All that we send into the lives of others. Comes back into our own.

Fulton Commissioners Fight Judicial Status By MARTIN COY EMMITSBURG Responding to an ultimatum given by the president of St. John's College Friday, student government leaders issued one of their own Sunday night.

The boycott will end, only if the board of trustees "relinquish completely the right to determine the question of drinking on campus a women in the dormitories," said John Whelley, student government president. Five proposals uere delivered to Monsignor Hugh J. Phillips, college president Saturday. The proposals call for: --Elimination of curfews. --Student government regulation of the dress code.

--Off-campus housing. --Establishment of a "Club a drinking place on school property. --The right to have women visitors in dormitory lounges. "The minimum concessions to the proposals the Ad Hoc Committee are willing to accept is if the Trustees permit women visitors in the lounges and if they build 'Club 21'," John Whelley, student government president, said. "By 9 a.m.

this morning, we will know whether we will risk challenging president's edict, change the nature of the boycott, or go back to classes and give up," Whelley said. "And giving up will never be acceptable to the student body." The special student meeting stemmed from the college president's dictum to "immediately cease boycotting activities or face suspension" from the private liberal arts college for men. Msgr. Phillips read his statement to about half of the 930 member student body at a special assembly Friday night. Declaring student government proposals unrealistic under the present circumstances, the college president said that "a boycott legally constitutes a disruption of the regular and essential operations of the college." The Msgr.

told the assembly that "For the good of all members of this community it becomes incumbent upon the administration of the college to take immediate and definite action to restore an atmosphere in which reasonable discussion can occur." To accomplish these ends, the college president promised: --immediate expulsion or suspension to students taking part in and-or inciting disruptive actions. --disciplinary action by Board of Review against any student disrupting "regular and essential operations of the institution." --temporary abolishment of the Student Court and enforcement of the rules of the institution by administrative act. --loss of financial aid from state and federal government agencies and from the college for student participants in disruptive activities. --no further changes in rules or structure of the college until all coercive measures are removed.

McCONNELLSBURG, Pa. -Fulton County commissioners here arc fighting to keep the county's judicial status in the 51st judicial district. Commissioners i Wright, Orvillc W. Duvall and Delmar Mcllott a registered their objection by a date to the state in opposition to a possible move in Stale Senate to make Ihc county a part of the 20lh judicial district.

The controversy arose from two bills now before the Senale's judicial committee. The first bill, introduced by Sen. George Wade of Adams County, called for Ihe switch. The second bill, introduced by Senators Wade and Elmer liawbaker of the Fullon Franklin district, not only called for Ihc switchover but also asked for Ihe appointment, of an additional judge for the 51st district. Presently, only one presiding judge.

John A. MacPhil, has jurisdiction over Adams and Fulton County. The Fulton County Commissioners don't want the additional judge appointed to serve in Ihe Fullon County courts because it is the last remaining county in the stale to have Iwo associate judges presiding with a president judge.
