Faculty Parking Tickets Accumulate At Safety Office An increasing number of un paid faculty parking tickets have accumulated in the Health and Safety Office and the Health and Safety Committee is study • ing the problem. At a committee meeting last week, a suggestion was made that the tickets be disregarded. This suggestion met with strong opposition from the student members of the committee, who felt that students should have the same privileges extended to faculty members. Some faculty members have as many as 20 unpaid tickets dating back to 1966, while others have only one negligent ticket. A list of faculty members who have unpaid tickets include: J M, Arnott, Jack Barnett, J 1 Bassett, Deanna Bland, James N Blake, Anthony Brown, Mrs, Myrl Brown, Charles Burrell and Dr, Belta Cannon, M.

By CIIAHLO' Speculation concerning the withdrawal of Western Carolina from the Carolinas Conference is running high on campus, but official sources will not commit themselves on the issue, Appalachian State University pulled ahead of Western by announcing their Withdrawal from the Conference last week. Both Appalachian and Western had been working on the problem according to student government officials here. There fore, it is probable to assume that Western will follow Appalachian's example sometime in the near future. An interview with tight-lipped Jim Hamilton, Chairman of the Athletics Committee, yielded no concrete statement concerning Western's position, Hamilton did comment, however, that a decision would hopefully be made within the month, and a recommendation made to Pres • ident Paul A. Reid and the Board of Trustees. The Board has the final vote on the issue. At a meeting today with student representatives, the Athletic Committee will hear students' viewpoints on the Confer ence issue. According to Hamilton, no definite decision will be made until further in vestigation, "The action taken by Appalachian did not surprise me to a great degree. We recognize the problems that do exist within the framework of the Conference and what problems may come up in the future, Some decision must be made soon,* Hamilton said. "If we pull out of the Conference, scheduling could be a problem for a few years, especially in football. I know of five clubs that we could continue playing, but we might have to travel out of the area for other games," Hamilton said. "There isn't much to be said for independent status. There is no major end goal. By this I mean that there are no play- TK WISF. offs and no percentages comparing other games. "If we do get out,* Hamilton concluded, "we would have to think of joining another conference or forming a new one.* Tom Young, Director of At- letics stated that he and other members of the Athletic staff were dissatisfied with theCaro- Unas Conference because of scholarship restrictions. According to Conference regulations, Western is allowed only 37 scholarships for ath - letics. This includes 26 in football, nine in basketball and two in minor sports. If a football player receives an academic scholarship or is even on the work study program, this is counted as one of the 26 scholarships. At the same time, Young explained, minor sports are unrestricted, "If we pull out of the conference we have three alternatives," Young said. "We can stay independent continually, join another recognized conference or form a new con™ ference," With Western's increasing enrollment and change to University status, the feeling of many students, faculty members and alumni is that Western should withdraw from the Conference. Mead Is Now Off Due to undesirable behavior on the part of some individuals the Mead Corporation has requested that western Carolina University students not utilize the private facilities of the corporation, particularly the concession area, according to Dr. Douglas Davis, Deanof Men, Strict adherence to this request will be appreciated by both the University and the Mead Corporation.
