AA ^ - f'' * mr___ Commission Orders Nantahala to Refund Money by Vicki Schaffer Vice President for Rates and Research. Ed Tucker, said the case is far from over after the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ordered a refund to Nantahala's wholesale customers. The proposed merger of Nantahala Power and Light Company and Tapoco. Inc. was rejected by the FERC in a decision received in late May. The merger question was raised in Nantahala's 1976 wholesale rate case by intervenors that consisted of the Town of Highlands, Haywood EMC. and Western Carolina University. These wholesale customers account for approximately 7% of Nantahala's sales. The Commission ruled that the intervenors failed to support their claim for combining the two corporations for rate-making, purposes. FERC agreed with Administrative Law Judge Jacob l.cventhal who wrote in 1981, "Nantahala and Tapoco are separate entities. They were chartered in separate states; were developed separately; served separate customer loads; are not integrate except as part of the TVA system are interconnected at only one point, and have separate corporate headquarters. FERC ruled that Nantahala's wholesale rates should be set as if the company received more credit for its generation from TVA than it actually does. The wholesale purchased power adjustment clause was not accepted because FERC says it is not in accord with the FERC general rules on adjustment clauses. These two rulings caused FERC to order a refund to Nantahala's three wholesale customers. Tucker said that several parts of the decision would influence Nantahala adversely, and will likely be taken to the next step of review or appeal. Snack Bars Now in Scott and Harrill On May 15. 1982. the Catskeller located on the second floor of the A.K. Hinds University Center closed due to the removal of asbestos from the insulation system. Snack bars are now located in Scott and Harrill residence halls.

Schutz Summer is a time for rest and recreation. Students at Western Carolina's Summer Sessions frequently must confine their recreation time to the weekends. This presents a problem. Reid Gym si the hub of on-campus recreational sports. Weight-lifters, racquetball players, swimmers, and tennis players find the equipment and facilities they need at the gym. The locker rooms provide university students with showers and a place to store their gear while at play. However. Reid Ciym is closed on Sundays. Kumors ot student dissatislaction with this policy which effectively cuts weekend recreation opportunities on campus in half, prompted a phone call to Dr. Joe Ray, of this university's Department of Health. Physical Education, and Recreation. Dr, Ray emphasized his departments continuing responsiveness to the needs of Western Carolina University students. "In the past, Reid Gym has been open to students on Sundays," said Dr. Ray, "However, we found ourselves with a very low traffic flow. Apparently, the students are spending their recreation time on the lakes and rivers in the area. We found ourselves keeping the facilities open to accomodate maybe only two or three S.G.A. Takes up Temporary Residence with L.M.P. by M.J. Schutz Although the asbestos-removal project in the Hinds University Center has temporarily shuffled them out of their offices, the members of Western Carolina University's Student Government Association are making do, and they intend to continue to provide the most-used services throughout the summer. In the absence of President Blake Brown and Vice- President Charles Bonnell,( Neither is enrolled for summer courses at WCU), Public Defender Carl Cruse and Comptroller Tim McBride are heading up SGA's summer team. Other members of the summer staff are: David Kahn; Attorney General. Millie Faircloth; Clerk of Court, Julie Thurston; Assistant Comptroller, Sara Calloway; Executive Secretary, Wayra Brown; in charge of Legal Assistance, and Ken Port; in charge of Refridgerator Leasing. I his group had their first summer meeting on Tuesday, June 15. The afternoon was spent outlining and organizing summer activities. SGA will continue to provide refridgerator leasing to dorm dwellers, and I raffic Citation appeals to all those who have met with the displeasure of an ever-vigilant Traffic and Security officers. Legal assistance will also be offered throughout the summer. "Dr. Glenn Stiilion (Dean of Student Affairs at WCU) told me today that we should be back in our old offices by the middle of July," said Carl Cruse Tuesday afternoon. Until then, students needing SGA's services can find the staff in their temporary offices on the first floor of the U.C, in what is general! known as the Last Minute Productions office(Room 126). Students wishing to lease a refridgerator should bring their validated I.D. cards, their checkbooks(there is a deposit payable in advance), and themselves to the temporary SGA headquarters. The staff also has Traffic Citation Appeals forms on hand, and Summer Court should be in session soon. Court appointments are in the making, and organization is underway, so SGA's summer activities are ready to roll this semester. people's shhooting baskets in the gym." The staff and utilities expenses did not seem justified in view of the small number of users, so the gym started closing on Sundays. It is, after all, commonly known that colleges and universities are having to pare their budgets down because of reduced enrollment. The Department of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation has a real desire to accomodate student needs. No complaints have reached Dr. Ray's office about the closed-on-Sundays policy, which is far from inflexible. Dr. Ray said that "If enough students are interested in using the gym to open it up on Sundays again, all they need to do is come talk to me. Well work something out." With the World's Fair only two hours drive away,many Cullowhee residents have already taken advantage of the short distance.
