Williams forceably removed two Marine insignias from an old army jacket that Fox was wearing, and refused t > return them when asked. Fox, who personally appeared before the Senate to give his version of the incident, further stated that a sec ■ 6nd attempt to get back his insignia, and to obtain an apology from Col. Williams for his actions and his crude language, met only with a refusal and more obscene language from .Williams. Fox said he then met with T. L. Huskins, Dean of Student Affairs, who told Fox that he would only act as a mediator between Fox ;uid Col. Williams. Also, Fox said Huskins, who now had the insignia in his possession, refused to return them when asked. After listening to Fox, the Senate heard proposals from its own members ranring from a demand that Col. Williams pub- llcally apologize, to acquiring legal assistance for Fox.

The project, estimated to cosl $7.5 million, calls for reioca= tion of N. C. 107 from Rolling Green, near Sylva, to East La- Porte, a distance of 6.7 miles. R. W. McGowan, assistant chief engineer of the State Highway Department, told some 150 interested citizens of the areaat a hearing on the WCU campus that "this will be a comolete new location of N. C. 107." At present, a 3.4 mile section of N. C. 107 from Sylva to Rolling Green is being four- laned and is expected to be ope j 'O traffic in June. Preliminary plans call for new location of the four-lane section from Roiling Green, where a bridge will span the Tucnaseegee River, to a spot back of Camp Laboratory School of WCU. McGoivan s.ild the 1.3-mile section from the WCU campus to East LaPorte will be a two- lane route on a four-lane right- of-way for Mire expansion. "This will be a fully controlled access highway," McGowan said. "The only access will be at certain connector points and the road will be fenced in the whole way." McGowan said that preliminary location plans call for two structures over the Tucka- seegee River at Rolling Greens two over Cullowhee Creek on the WCU campus, andtwo structures over the Tuckaseegee at East LaPorte. The only question raised at the hearing concerned the re- channeling of Cullowhee Creek In the Forest Hills residential section of Cullowhee, which would move the creek from the west to the east side of the highway. Mrs. Hannah Scott, a retired professional landscape architect, told the highway officials she hopes something could be done "to protect the beauty of Forest Hills and preserve the creek in its natural course." Several others also raised objections to rec'nanneling the creek. McGowan told them that "we will look into the ques= tion." However, all agreed that the new highway Is needed and endorsed the preliminary plans in general. George Sloan, chairman of the Jackson County Board of Commissioners, said "we would like to endorse this project and offer our assistance in any way we can." Dr, Alex Pow, president of WCU, told the offIcials that "we have looked iorwardtothisfora long time. "We at WCU and of Western North Carolina need better access and better exposure," Pow said. "We are hardily in agreement with the plans as outlined here today." John Henning of Webster, speaking as president of the WCU student body, said that the present two-lans road, with Its heavy traffic, presents travel hazards for students and 'we hope it can be four-laned to Cullowhee as rapidly as possible." Jim Gray, president of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, said his group "heartily endorses this project, which is part of ouz- request for modernizing N.C. 107 from Sylva to the South Carolina line. "This four-lane highway," Gray said* "is important in this area to commerce , industry, tourism, and to the thousands of students and faculty here at our university." Ed Nicholson, representing the mayor and town board of Sylva, also gave wholehearted endorsement to the Droieei. The hearing was officially opened by E. J. Whitmire of Franklin, one of the two state highway commissioners for the 14th division, Tryouts are held Tryouts for the spring musical, LITTLE MARY SUNSHINE, will be held April 12 and 13 at 8:00 p.m. in the theatre in Stillwell Building.
