Western Carolinian November27l99ff News New WWCU Format by Kevin Mcpherson StaffReporter There's something going on at what used to be Power 91 FM. As of 10 p.m. Monday, the name of WCU's campus radio station changed from Power 91 to Channel Z, "The New Music Revolution." If you were listening on Monday-you may have felt like starting a revolution of your own, beginning with the bowels of Moore Hall where the radio station is located. Monday's musical montage prior to the changing of the station's name marked the void between the old and the new. The songs played ranged from heavy metal power ballads to new country top forty anthems. According to Program Director Philip Drum, the station has only changed its name four times since it began. He added that the concept of what used to be "Power 91" was only two years old. Drum said that since the station's staff is new and is continually trying to bury the hatchet of last year's fiasco, now is the perfect time to make such changes. Not only does the station have a new name-but a change of format will be occurring as well. Recently, the WWCU executive staff made an effort to find out what its listeners wanted to hear by putting forth a survey in classrooms and in a recent issue of the Western Carolinian. Of all the surveys that were distributed, 628 made their way back to the staions executives. Forty-percent of the respondents rated Alternative as the number one choice of music that they wanted to hear. Rock was distant second with 17%. R&B and top 40 were third with 11.5%. Rap drew only 10% of the total. Country, local bands, classic rock, heavy metal techno rave only made up 6.5% collectively. The number time slot was 10-1 weeknights. Another issue brought forth in WWCU's survey was the tation's coverage of local and college bands or the lack of it. According to Drum, the station's collection of such music is increasing by the minute and it will be added slowy based on listener response. In other words, if the feedback is positive, the local scene will be increased and vice versa. Finally, according to Channel Z's program director, the survey indicated that the overall feeling about the station was positive and the staff is continuing to seek feedback from its audience. It Really IS Chicken by Kyle Shufelt StaffReporter Rumors have been circulating that the Peking Gourmet, a Chinese restaurant located in the Jackson Plaza in Sylva, was cited for having cat carcasses in its freezer. The Jackson County Health Department vehemently denies these rumors. "This is really just a vicious rumor that some narrow- minded bigoted person, in my opinion, has started," Mack Dendy, Environmental Health Supervisor, said. Dendy said he sent two of his inspectors out to the Peking Gourmet the very day he heard about it and found the restaurant to be in compliance with health standards. They found no evidence of cat carcasses. "It is categorically untrue," Dendy said. "We have been in there at least on two or three different occasions after we heard it," Dendy said. "The place has a sanitation grade of A." Dandy said all restaurants are inspected four times a year unannounced. "We can say through our inspections that we have never found anything but pure wholesome good ole American food," Dendy said. "We would not permit any restaurant to operate that does not have USDA inspected food." Dendy said that the health department has so much confidence in the Peking Gourmet and their inspection program that he and his staff ate there last week. Discrepancy in Orignal Homecoming Elections by Kyle Shufelt StaffReporter SGA President, Jessica Laverty, called for a re vote in the recent elections for Homecoming Queen and King due to a "descrepancy" in the vote count. "We counted how many ballots there were and how many names were crossed off the roster ...there were more ballots than names...," she said. "There are 3 different natured complaints and it was, we felt, in the best interest of the elections commission and in the best interest of the university to have a revote." Laverty was asked if the revote changed the outcome. "Nobody knows that we didn't count the votes the first time." Laverty said she is investigating the vote fraud but "...there isn't enough to go on to really point out one group or organization." She said she is probably going to drop it. Have a Safe Holiday Season News from the wellness program. This holiday season, the wellness Program would like to remind you to celebrate safely by driving sober.

Another I Sexual Assault Occurs 1 by Kelly Donaldson Contributing Writer On October 19, 1995, the second sexual assault incident in three weeks at WCU occurred. The victim chose not to pursue criminal or administrative proceedings. Gene McAbee, Director of Public Safety, said, "The victim does not want to report the incident because the people involved might get hurt. No report was filed and there will be no public record of the incident. There were no investigations conducted by Public Safety or the Jackson County Sheriff's Department on the victim's decision." Mr. McAbee was very concerned about jeopardizing the right to privacy of the victim in conducting this interview. He also did not want to stop any future victims from coming to his department or any other department on this campus concerning sexual assault. He drafted this statement. There are times when the Office of Public Safety works cooperatively witho*« offices on campus to assist our students. Fo example, in the case of a sexual assault, a counselor may ask public safety to provide legal information to a client. That information may concern the investigative process, criminal charges, civil action, and the administrative disciplinary procedures w the University. Using this information, tne^ client can make a more informed decisio how to proceed. In a few cases, the clien will decide that they do not want any investigation and no action through any the channels available. In that case, the has chosen not to file an official police which would initiate an investigation. McAbee did say that the inciden occur off-campus and was not fraterm oriented. f When asked about the concerns actions of the Public Safety Departme d.llMII.N Ul U1C rUUU- jai-v —■ . tUre,t regarding two sexual assault cases in ^^ weeks, McAbee replied. "You can t p^ ^ sexual assault by police control. We * ^ dealing with a mad rapist. Two peop . together voluntarily, one ignores the p ^ leges and rights of another Person.^reSpon- can do is stress to students is to a sibility for their own security. I wo"onS recommend attending SCAARse ^ Rape Awareness Week, the Wellnes gram, and the Counseling Center, power is no good in these situations.
