  • The Western Carolinian VOICE OF THE STUDENTS VolXXXV No.18 Thursday, December 4, 1969 Cullowhee,N.C Unsafe Electrical Methods Charged Subject Of WLOS-TV Editorial THE ABOVE SIGN attracted toe attention of a roving humorist who decided to add his own bit of editorializing. Highway officials have now corrected toe sign and have estimated that toe construction should be finished on January 1, New Date b Jai.l Completion Dote Set For 107 Currently under construction Is a series of road improvements toat will provide Western Carolina University wito a better access to other areas of Western North Carolina and to the National Interstate System. This is being accomplished by improvements in U. S. Highways 19-23 and N. C. Highway 107. N. C. Highway 107 is being re-routed and rebuilt from an area south of toe Western Carolina University campus to toe junction of N. C. Highway 107 wito U. S. Highways 19-23 at Sylva. The new section of 107 will be four lanes wide at least as far as Western Carolina University, and will be constructed of bituminous concrete. The first part of the road has been under construction since August 20,1968, This sec- INS Tonight The Political Science Assoc, will sponsor an international simulation tonight beginning at 5:00 and lasting for several hours in McKee. Visitors are welcomed. INS is a political game where each person or group performs as an individual nation in toe world community. The game is for each group to make decisions, policy.etc. as a certain fictitious country. A number of students and faculty will participate. Plans are to hold another one in the Spring. It is similiar to MSMUN. tion starts at the junction of N. C. 107 with U. S. 19-23 and extends 3.14 miles to Locust Creek. Construction is being done by Sherman-Simpson Construction Company of Mount Airy, The construction was originally predicted to be completed by November 1, 1969, but toe revised deadline is put at Jan, 1, 1970 according to W. V. Ledford fo District 14 of toe North Carolina State Highway Commission, Ledford noted toe cold, rainy weather as the main obstacle preventing toe workmen from paving the curves and gutters of the new road. This section of toe road is being financed entirely by money obtained by toe road bonds of toe State of North Carolina. According to G. W. Clayton of toe District 14 office this is costing the state over $850,000 exclusive of toe cost of engi^ neering and right of way. This short stretch of road is but toe first part of what is to be toe Western Carolina University beltline. According to J. M. Worley, also of toe District 14 Highway Office, toe tentative plans for toe remaining portion of toe beltline calls for Highway 107 to cross toe Tuckaseigee River at Locust Creek and proceed up toe west bank of toe river through a series of low gaps. When it reaches toe Western Carolina Campus, it will pass between toe Camp Laboratory School and toe new women's High Rise Dormi tory. It is at this point toat toe new road will narrow from four lanes to two lanes. From here it will continue south until it merges wito old N, C, 107 south of the Western Carolina Camnus. The men of the Highway Commission are apprehensive on one issue. The money for N„ C, 107 was appropriated under toe Moore Administration, and, as yet, toe Scott Administration has not shown a firm position on road building issues. WLOS-TV, Asheville, North Carolina on Friday, November 28, 1969 broadcast an editorial concerning toe electrical service provided by Western Caro ■ Una University. Tho editorial was prompted by a letter from ;< former WCU electrician to Mr. Arthur Whiteside, Public Affairs Director, WLOS-TV, Whiteside took toe letter, reading parts of toe text on toe air and then making his general editorial comments. The letter was written to Whiteside by a former WCU electrician who had been employed for seven months. The WESTERN CAROLINIAN requested and obtained from WLOS-TV a copy af toe letter plus an editorial release concerning toe matter. The copy of toe letter ad ■ dressed to toe station on November 18, 1969 bears toe signature of Donald L„ Eurlng, Box 86, Cullowhee, The charges made in the letter have been repudiated by WCU officials, Eurlng is not an employee of Western Carolina University, Dissatisfied with toe rate of pay and working condiditions, he resigned as an electrician after seven months of service. Approximately three weeks ago he reapplied for his old position; however, Mr, James Kirkpatrick, Busingss Manager, informed him that there were no vacancies at toe steam plant The text of the letter sent to WLOS-TV is reprinted in its entirety below: Dear Mr, Whiteside: Exam Schedule L At last regular meeting prior to December 8: All Tuesday and Thursday classes; all Sophomore Physical Education Service Courses; Orientation 1110, 1120. H. At last regular meeting prior to December 8: AU Evening and Saturday Classes 1IL All other classes as follows: MONDAY, DECEMBER 8t 8:00—11:00 . , . ........,,,.., 1:00 Classes 2:00— 5:00 9:00 Classes TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9: 8:00—11:00 , ................ 3:00 Classes 2:00—5:00 10:00 Classes WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10: 8:00—11:00 2:00 Classes 2:00—5:00 11:00 Classes THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11: 8:00—11:00 .12:00 Classes 2:00—5:00 8:00 Classes FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12: 8:00—11:00 .................... 4:00 Classes Having completed 7 months service at Western Carolina University in Feb, as an Electrical Lineman, I think there are several facts toat should be brought before toe residents of North Carolina. I am refering directly to toe Business Office and Engineers SEE EDITORIAL, PAGE 4, Office at Western Carolina University, First, toe hazardous working conditions of toe Electrical Department are extremely dan ■ gerous. These :nen are now, and have been, working under these conditions prior to my emplayment, They set, or replace poles by toe use of a dump truck. This is done by laying a pole on toe bed of toe truck, then raising toe bed to let toe pole slide in the hole, hoping at toe same time, toe pole goes into toe hole and does not slide toe wrong way, thus Injuring or killing an employee, The safety equipment is very limited, Blankets, hoods, snakes, and rubber gloves were never tested. This limited, and sometimes faulty, equipment must be used to cover up hot wires while working on a pole. For example this past Saturday, toe electricity in toe Cullowhee Valley, which is purchased from Western Carolina University, was off three times due to the incapability and incompetence of boto the acting engineer and the business manager. It was called to toeir attention, by me, toat toe un= trimmed trees would eventually cause toe wires to short out and burn down. Due to toeir neglect, the power was off for 2 1/2 hours on toe coldestnlght yet this fall, I would like to know why toe residents of this area have to suffer because of this neglect Also, toe linemen, who were trying to repair the lines (by using flashlights and moonlight to see by) had to put their lives in jeopardy because of lack of foresight and proper equipment The conditions have even become so bad toat the linemen have threatened to walk off toe job. WHY WAS THIS NECESSARY? Second, what becomes of toe money toat is made by toe resale of electricity? Wito toe large number of meters, it would appear toat these men could have enough decent equipment to work with such as a proper line truck instead of a CONTINUED Page 5. . .. MERRY CHRISTMAS
