  • Summer News For those of you who were away for the summer and are wanting to get caught up on the main stories that hit the pages of the Carolinian during the term, here is a brief summary of important summer news articles. Former Traffic and Security Director Pritchard Smith was arrested May 15 and charged with shoplifting. Smith allegedly tried to leave Ingles in Waynesville concealing a package of chicken and a package of ground beef in his coat. Smith, following a flawless 28 year career with the North Carolina Highway Patrol, was appointed Director of T&S in 1968. Prior to the incident Smith had requested a retirement date of September 1, 1981 and the search was already underway for a replacement. According to Dr. Glenn Stillion, Vice Chancellor for Student Development, Smith had enough annual and sick leave to carry him over until his retirement date. Chuck Taylor, Department head of Criminal Justice, is serving as Interim Director of T&S. Smith had reportedly been ill for some time and was admitted to St. Joseph's Hospital. At last report he was recovering satisfactorily at home. Dodson and Brown cafeteria have gone uninspected since 1976 due to a shortage of manpower in the Department of Human Resources and Jackson County Health Department. But don't lose any sleep over it, because our reporter covering the story reported both cafeterias as " spotless " following an inspection with Cecil Ward, Director of Food Services. The Tuckasiegee River claimed the life of Martha Sherry Clark, a summer student at WCU, in a 4th of July weekend accident. It was discovered that starting with the 1980-81 academic year students at WCU have been charged an unauthorized lab fee by the Chemistry Department. The fee was an " insurance fee " charged in order to spread out the burden of damaged ( and very expensive ) lab equipment. The Chemistry Department did not realize that the fee had to be approved by almost the entire university system before action was taken, and immediately took steps to rectify the problem, including refunding students who paid the fee last year. If you have paid your fee for last year, there should be some notification of a refund coming shortly. Chelsea Schedule by Chuck Arney The Chelsea Gallery in the University Center will open its fall semester exhibition schedule Tuesday, Aug. 25, with a collection of pottery entitled "Four Potters From Penland The four-person exhibit will feature works by Stanley Mace Anderson, Cynthia Bringle, Steve Gamza and Jane Peisner, all artists associated with the Penland School of Crafts in Penland.
