SCAPE symposium received well at Western Carolina Tne three-day symposium on Mui and His Environment sponsored by SCAPE and the WCU Biology Department is alive and well. Although attendance has been less than expected, the speakers and their presentations have been well received. Dr. Allan Moore, Asst, Professor of Biology at WCU, as the initial speaker Tuesday afternoon in the University Center Grandroom. His talk generally covered the ecological crisis from the three areas of population, the environment, and its pollution. Moore emphasized the importance of man's willingness to reorder nis priorities in order that man more nearly operate within the basic ecological system. That man is out of phase with the natural system is the basic problem. Moore was followed by Mr. William Frue, Asheville attorney and Chairman of the N.C. Collins elected SGA-V. P. Steve Collins was elected Vice President of the Student Body of Western Carolina University in a run-off election held Tuesday, April 21. Collins was opposed by three other candidates in the regular election, Don Addis, Steve Scarce, and Paul Felsberg. In that election, Collins received 837 votes to Felsberg's 401.

Council of trout Unlimited, Frue discussed Trout Un- llmlted's organization and goals, speaking both as a lawyer and as an avid trout fisherman, The evening session saw Dr. Harley E. Jolley, Historian on Loan to the U.S. Forest Service in Asheville, together with Mr. Forest Smith, a professional forester and public relations representative for the U.S. Forest Service. The two presented an award-winning Kaiser Aluminum film, "Why Man Creates," followed by their own slide-lecture, "What Man Has Created," which depicted the generally polluted condition of Western North Carolina.

Wildlife Federation, who disucsssil the Wildlife Federation's role in combattingthe despoilers of the environment, He was followed by Dr. Car- lyle Marney, noted Southern theologian and Director of Interpreter's House in Lake Ju- naluska, Marney discussed the environmental issue in basic human terms, hence theological terms, hence moral terms. Although pessimistic about the chances of man in general, he held out the hope of environmental salvation in the form of individual Initiative and involvement, particularly in the form of "intellectual deviance," or genius. He emphasized the importance of student activism and involvement, and noted that those who protest the sad state of environmental affairs are the same ones who protest the United States' involvement In Vietnam. Wednesday evening representatives of Mead Corporation, American-Enka Corporation, and U.S. Plywood-Champion Papers, Inc. met with the CONTINUED Page 4,. . , Infirmary Addition plans are nearing final approval Finished plans for the addition to the WCU infirmary are nearing final approval. The new additions will provide space for a diagnosing laboratory, a large reception room; private rooms, lhing apartments, and three spacious offices. Dr. Hugh A. Matthews, Director of University Health Services, stated that this addition "is only a stop-gap measure. We can survive until 1975 with the adequate services we now have." According to the American Sludent Health Association, a student infirmary should have four beds for each 1,000 students. WCU has 21 beds for 5,400 students. The new addition will provide 12 more beds, enough for an Increase of 3,000 studenrs. The infirmary will be obsolete In about six years, according to computed estimates. With only a limited amount of money available, Dr. Mathews had to cut some much needed equipment from his listofpriorities. A diagnosing laboratory, a reception room, and private rooms were given priorityover all else. An elevator, Important to the nursing staff, will not be included in the new facility. The absence of an elevator will mean must extra leg work for the nurses, such as carrying patients, linens and supplies up and down the stairs. Only 14 beds out of 33 will have closet space. Some four- bed wards have no closet spaces. Dr. Mathews stated that there simply was not enough money for closets. Geneva Kirchberg, night nurse, who has been on the nursing staff many years, stated, "We'd do better to have fewer beds and spend the money on better equipment" Three of the other nurses concurred, Mrs. Annette Shelton, Head Infirmary Nurse, saidtiat, "We won't be able to keep the nurses we have, and we won't be able to recruit more." Dr. Mathews emphasized that the addition is going up because "we need relief now." It was Dr. Mathews' opinion that after this much needed immediate relief, plans for a completely new Infirmary complex will begin to materialize. However, he stated, there is no way to tell if this will happen in five years or ten years. "I hope that we will never have to piecemeal on this building again," said Mathews. National grant awarded to WCU Math Department A $6,676 National Science Foundation grant has been awarded to the Western Carolina University Department of Mathematics to support a regional in-service institute for mathematics teachers and supervisors in grades 7 through 12, The institute, to be directed by J.
