Leigh Says... No He Doesn't... Yes He Does! Following an article concerning the infirmary and the new Center Pharmacy in last week's Western Carolinian, the drug= gist, Henry Leigh, denied certain statements attributed to him in The Carolinian. In addition, inferences made in the Action Answer question have not yet been cleared up. Consequently, The Carolinian had another interview with Leigh. Following the article, Leigh had called The Western Caro= linian office and made a state= ment to editor-elect, David Watson. He said to Watson: "If there is not a retraction in Tuesday's paper, I will take legal action." Leigh also made a statement to WWOO radio saying that he had been misquoted by The Carolinian. Carolinian editor, Charlotte Wise, interviewed Mr. Leigh again. The questionable statement was: He says practices at the infirmary are illegal. This was an indirect quote from Leigh. He had said verbatum: CONTINUED Page 8 ...... • In Tuesday's Elections Students Elect Nine ToSenate Posts jewon mswvn New Senior Senators are David Dingier, Chip Roberson and Jane Cabe. Not pictured is Buddy Greenwood. The Western Carolinian desperately needs four past editions of The Carolinian for our files. We will pay for volumes 8 (October 12), 29 (February 8), 31 (February 15), and 34 (March 13). If you have any copes of these issues please bring them by The Carolinian office on Monday or Wednesday nights. Q, How many signatures would be necessary to send to the U. S. Postal Department to get an employee of the U. S. Post Office at Cullowhee fired? I would like to know so that we can do something about the rude women, Martha Hooper, who works at the Post Office here. A. Wayne Hooper, postmaster of the Cullowhee Post Office, stated that he didn't know how many signatures would be necessary. He said that any type of complaint would result in the U. S. Postal department sending a form for him to complete concerning the complaint He suggested that you come in and talk with him, or if you wish, address your complaints to the regional office in Atlanta, Ga. He said he would like to have a conference with you, and perhaps something could be worked out so that the employee in question could work in some area of the building other than at the counter. Q. Why is it that neither Brown nor Dodson personnel will tell students who call the cafeterias what is to be served that day? A. The manager of Dodson Cafeteria stated that Dodson had no specific rule concerning this matter. "We've always told them the menu." At Brown the manager says that they just don't have the time or personnel to go and get the menu and give it to students over the telephone. Q. What is it about the dorm bathroom, that when toilets are flushed or the water fountains are used, people in the showers get scalded? A. James K. Kirkpatrick, Director of Business Affairs, is checking into the problem now, "I'll call the heating company and have it checked out. This should have been reported to the engineer's office here, however." Q. What is the real policy concerning class cuts? What are the ihances of unlimited cuts in the near future? A. All students are expected to attend all their scheduled classes as stated in the Student Handbook. Many professors make their own regulations concerning class cuts, however, so check with your individual professors. Dean Newton Turner stated that chances for unlimited cuts were good if you were on the Alpha Honor Roll or Dean's List (This is already stated in the handbook.) Turner continued by saying that the trouble with unlimited cuts is that the poor students would cut class and the good students would continue to attend. "If unlimited cuts were endorsed attendance probation programs would have to be set up. If a student were failing he would be required to have a conference and prohibited from any more cuts," Turner said. CONTINUED, Page 8. .. By CHARLOTTE WISE Voting in the annual spring elections Tuesday was markedly higher than votes cast last week for president and vice- president of the student body. Eleven hundred and thirty one students cast ballots in elections for student senators, Miss Western Carolina University, Editor and business manager of The Western Carolinian, Editor and business manager of the Catamount, and president and vice-president of the University Center Board, David Dingier led in votes for senior senator with 698, Jane Cabe followed with 668, Chip Roberson polled 617 and Buddy Greenwood, 445. Linda Davis with 425 votes' is alternate senior senator. Other students who ran for the post included Linda Allen, 416; Jerry Conner, 392; Patti Doria, 321, and Pollyann Holcomb,228. Three junior senators elected were Carol McRae, who polled 695 votes, Jim Pope, 449, and Eddie Todd, 423. Miss McRae and Pope with the largest number of votes, will serve as two year senators under the revised constitution. Alternate sophomore senator is Ann Stewart with 386 votes. Other students who ran for the post included John Knight, 352 votes; Sandy Rogers, 299; Tony Johnson, 262, and Nancy Eagles, 147. Phil Walker with 493 votes and Carolyn Mundhenke with 463 votes will serve as sopho= more senators. Walker will serve for two years. David Huskins is alternate with 367 votes, Other students who ran for the post included Patti Line- burger, 276, Donna Ashe, 251, and Lang Kerr, 211, Tony Knott, lone candidate for editor of The Catamount, polled 876 votes, Judy Love received a write-in of 33 votes. Walter Howell with 517 votes won over Rodney Eckard with 510 for business manager of the annual. J. David Watson was elected editor of The Western Carolinian with 925 voles. Write-in candidate Grady Cooper re= ceived 26 votes, George Hood was elected business manager of the newspaper with 969 votes. Carroll Sheppard was elected Miss Western Carolina University with 813 vallots cast. Write in candidate Candy Gibson received 42 votes. President of the University Center Board is Gary Mann with 608 votes as compared with Bunny Bennett's 488. In the closest race of the day, Gene Holmes best opponent Betty Thompson by seven votes. The vote was 525 to 518. Vending Machines May Replace Snack Bar The Stillwell Snack Bar is still closed, but there is a possibility that vending machines may be placed in the building until the end of the year. An interview with James Kirkpatrick, Director of Business Affairs, revealed that it is not probably that the snack bar will reopen as it has been, "As a temporary measure, we could out in snack and coke vending machines," Kirkpatrick stated.. The decision is not left entirely up to Kirkpatrick, however. And, from all indications, if faculty members in the building have their way, the snack bar or any form thereof will not reappear in Stillwell. Kirkpatrick stated that he had received a recommendation Band Concert The Western Carolina University Band presented its spring con wert! last night in Hoey Auditorium from Dr. Gerald Eller and all department heads in the building recommending that the snack bar not be reopened. The Business Manager said that the school had been losing money on the snack bar, Kirkpatrick in an interview last week said that he is considering placing vending machines, including those with sandwiches, in Stillwell next year, as well as future buildings here at WCU. However, these machines must be bought by the university and some cost as much as $6,000. If several vending machines were purchased for several different buildings, it would be quite expensive, but in the long run, the machines would probably be less expensive than trying to maintain a snack shop in different build- ings, Kirkpatrick said.. There is a problem with the vending machines, however. Students are continually trying to cheat the machines with slugs, filed down pennies, Ca= nadiar coins, etc. This has happened in men's and women's dorms, and has cost the univer= sity and the vending companies untold amounts. Thus Kirkpatrick is a little hesitant about placing more vendine machines on campus.
