What are the state laws for health inspection of eating establishments? Why hasn't the Town House been inspected since 1965? Why hasn't the grill at the University Center been inspected since it opened. A. The state laws for eating establishments may be obtained by writing the Jackson County Health Department in Sylva. They were not printed here because of the unavailability of space. According to Charles Thomas, Jackson County Health Inspector, the Town House HAS been inspected many times since 1965, and is meeting state requirements. He further added that the T. H. is under constant servalance and that he has been there twice in the last month. The grill at the University Center has not been graded, BUT it has received permit to open, stated Thomas. It was inspected and met state requirements. The grill will be graded within six months, as soon as Thomas has been given a chance to see it in full operation several times. Thomas added that if any student has a complaint about either establishment he may come to the Health Department in Sylva and get him (Thomas) to check on it Q. Why is it that the new faculty apartments are being built with only two bedrooms, when families with three children would find them inadequate? Could they later be turned into apartments for married students? A. According to James Kirkpatrick, Business Manager of the University, the apartments are being built for new faculty members to live in until they establish tenure. After this they will be expected to build their own homes. Most of the new faculty members are expected to be young couples, and for them the two bedrooms will be fine. Kirkpatrick also stated the school wanted to get the maximum number of apartments for the amount of money the government had loaned them. And that the cost would greatly exceed the $ 280,000 set for the project W. Newton Turner, vice-president of Academic Affairs stated that the apartments were planned with three bedrooms but cost factors prevented them from being built that way because the cost exceeded the governments loans. Q. Why is it that the radio station WWOO comes and goes? Sometimes it isn't on the air for days at a time, and at other times, it pops off and on at 30 second intervals. A. The reason is that some parts of equipmenlarcvorn out and limited funds prevented replacement At the present WWOO is making a survey of the system to make the necessary adjustments to improve the service. The fading on and off comes from the transmission from the station to the transmitters in the dorms, A spokesman for the station stated. Q. Why is the University Center Book Store open only 9 to 5, Monday through Friday? Students have to buy books, supplies, etc. and sometimes have to buy them at night or on weekends. Before, it was open to satisfy this student demand. Why has it been changed now? Is it true that the administration does not want to make too much money? A, According to James Kirkpatrick, the store is operated under federal wage laws of 40 hours a week and theeverything over that is time and a half. The store is trying to operate at a profit, and the sales for the longer hours do not justify the number of hours wages to keep it open. He added that stores at other colleges and universities worked on an eight hour day and students there seemed to adjust Additional long distance and free service telephone lines will be added to the present telephone system on campus, according to a letter from C, F. Gore, vicepresidentof Western Carolina Telephone Company directed to Roger Euliss, student body president The letter which Euliss received presented services already in operation at WCU and new facilities that will be added in the near future. Gore stated that when the PBX system was installed five additional free service lines and five toll lines were also added. There will be added to the present system eight additional long distance trunks and ten free service trunks from Cullowhee to Sylva in June 1968, according to Gore. Additional pay telephones may be installed on campus. However, the matter of vandalism and destruction of the booths and public telephones has been a deterent in this effort Gore stated that a sufficient number of telephone books with necessary corrections will be delivered to the campus.
