WCU Delegates Attend Student Legislature By DAVID WATSON In order to bring collegt and university students closer to the North Carolina State Legislature the colleges and universities of the State formed the State Student Legislature (SSL). WCU delegates, Gordon Greenwood, Steve Marlow, Robert Pittard, Carol McRae, Carolyn Croft, Sandy Rogers, Jane Burrows, and Wayne Bald- win, last week attended the 31st Annual State Student Legislature in Raleigh. The SSL like the model UN is to help students better understand the working of state government and politics. Each school sponsors one bill which is debated in the House and Senate. If the bill is passed it is forwarded to the NC General Assembly. All delegates were honored with a reception at the home of Chancelor Caldwell, Wednesday evening. Thursday the delegates met in Memorial Auditorium in Raleigh to discuss business and separated into House and Senate to elect officers and discuss bills further, A few of the bills brought up this year were: Veto power for the governor, Allied Health Center for WCU (this center would train nurses at a cost to the state of $10 million a year), Birth Control Pills for people on welfare, Halfway Houses for state penal institutions, Selling of Public Housing (this bill brought heated discussion in a racial area), and a five cent tax on all tobacco products (this was the nly bill that dealt with taxes CONTINUED Pag'e 8 . Problems Plague High Rise Complications In the con ■ StrtlCtion of the nine story women's dormitor) has delayed the project approximately three weeks, according to lames Kirkpatrick, director of btisi ness affairs, Improper mixture of the concrete which did not stand up to specified tests must be reinforced, but probabh not re- poured, according to Kirkpat rick. Archie Fritz, superintendent of Dickcrson Construction Company stated that a definite decision has not been made concerning the concrete. An engineering team is subject to make a proposal within the n£ar future concerning necessary adjustments, he stated. "We don't believe anything should be done. Wc think it is good concrete," Fritz said. In several instances, the con Crete did not measure up to the specified load bearing ca ■ pacity of 5,000 lbs. to every square inch of concrete, according to Kirkpatrick, Kirkpatrick stated that this problem is not unusual. When the student center was under construction, it was necessary to tear out footing for improperly mixed concrete. The improper mixture according to Kirkpatrick is created by lack of concrete or improper amounts of sand in the mixture. Fritz stated that the compli • cations with the concrete were due to "conditions of mountain weather which kept the material from coming up to design strength. Kirkpatrick quoted a company official as statingthat the building would be ready at the scheduled completion date. He also stated that it will be possible to complete a floor every three weeks. When questioned about the completion of the building, Fritz stated "1 shouldn't make a comment on that." WCU To Host 1969 Model UN Western Carolina University has been unanimously elected to host next year's annual Middle South Model I nitod Nations by delegates to the huh annual conference held March 5-10 at SmithNamed Security Director Appointment of I'ritchardC. smith, Jr. of Waynesville as director of safct) and security at Western Carolina University was announced Tucsdav by James I'., Kirkpatrick, WCU business manager. Smith, one of the slate's best known law officers, recently re tired from the North Carolina llighwaj Patrol after a career of more than _H years, lie held the rank of lieutenant at the time of his retirement, awsou A%smn Q, [ understand that Dr, McKinny in the economics department failed 20 students out of 24 in one of his classes last quarter and 12 our of 26 in another of his classes. True or false'.' A Both. Dr. McKinny stated that the first figures sounded wrong but the second ones might be true. He added that he had had some 'mighty poor students," Checking with an informed source we found the first figures to be incorrect. He did, however, fail 12 out of 26 in one of his classes and 9 out of 19 in another, Q. Why is it that Taylor Huskins readmits students when he is the Dean of Student Affairs? I thought readmission was under the direction of Dr. Turner, vice-president of academic affairs. A. According to W. Newton Turner, "Taylor Huskins is chairman of the readmissions committee. I give him a statement of general principle, that he is to follow when readmitting students. Huskins does not readmit students on his own, but rather follows these principles, If there is a question about a student then the full re- admissions committee decides the issue.* CONTINUED Page 8 ........ . Smith will fill a new position at Western Carolina, where ra • pid physical growth and a mushrooming student body have created the necessity for the new job. "We are fortunate to obtain a person of Mr. Smith's experience and capability for this position," Kirkpatrick said. "He brings to our cam - pus a high degree of professional ability and training," Smith will be responsible for the establishment and maintenance of a 24-hour security program at the university.
