  • The Western Carolinian VOICE OF THE STUDENTS Vol. XXXV No. 42 Tuesday, April 28, 1970 Western Carolina University Cullowhee, N. C SBl investigating recent fires, bomb threats Snake planted in Student Center/ fire bomb found in Joyner By COLLIER SMITH, News Editor AN UNKNOWN SPECTATOR here watches as a fire completely destroys a make-shift warehouse owned by Western Carolina University behind the Camp Lab School. The fire occurred on Thursday, April 23. State Bureau of Investigation officials and the State Fire Marshal are investigating this and other incidents that have plagued the WCU Campus recently. SUC hearing airs complaints Telephone needs cited Informed sources have said that on the basis of testimony presented last week before the North Carolina State Utilities Commission, an order will probably be issued to the Western Carolina Telephone Comijany stating "what must be time if they are to continue operating." The quality of service now being provided by the Western Carolina Telephone Company was the subject of a special three-day hearing conducted by the SUC Wednesday-Friday, April 22-24, In Sylva. P. J. Lucier, president of Continental Telephone Company, the major stockholder in the Western Carolina Telephone Company, admitted Wednesday that the present level of service "is still something to be desired.'p Lucier's statement came after James Armstrong, presi= dent of the Western Carolina Telephone Company, had submitted a long, detailed report of improvements and expenditures by the company since 1967. Armstrong, who spent five hours testifying before the Commission, stated, "We are not what we want to be. But, certainly in my opinion, we are improving. We are trying to improve all the time." Commission member John McDevitt, after listening to Armstrong's testimony, com= mented, "I don't see concrete ffoals for what's going to happen in 1971." "It's got to be more definite for me," he said. "We're sitting on top of a mountain of complaints, and I'm not satisfied with your report on the quality of service being given,'' That mountain of complaints was In the form of 25-30 public citizens who testifiedduringthe second day of the three-day hearing. Only two had kind words for Western Carolina Telephone Company's service. An executive officer of American Components, Inc., which has plants in Hayesville and Robbinsville, stated that the firm had seriously considered relocating because "telephone service for aU practical purposes does not exist in these areas." L. D. Hyde, Assistant to the President of Western Carolina University, stated that the Dre- sent service is definitely crippling the institution's ability to conduct business. Several officers of Western Carolina University also testified, including Dr. Alex S. Pow, President. Several students also testified, and all agreed that the present service "was de= plorable." John Henning, President of the Student Body, presented a resolution which had been passed by the Student Senate. The resolution read in part, "The service and operations of the equipment of Western Caro= CONTINUED Page 4. . . . NEWS BULLETIN Interviews for the offices of Presidential Assistant andSec- retary and Undersecretary the Student Government Association will be held on Thursday and Friday, April 30 and Mayl. Appointments MUST be made tomorrow at the office of the Student Body President, University officials have requested an investigation by the State Bureau of Investigation and the State Fire Marshal Into a series of incidents which have occurred on the campus of Western Carolina University in the last two months. In March, fire destroyed a trailer. On April 5, a stack of straw containing 200 bales was discovered afire, and on April 8, a large warehouse burned with a loss of $25,000 listed for the building con tents. On Thursday, April 23, three incidents occurred, Including a fourth fire, a bomb scare, and the discovery of a firebomb. At 3:05 a.m, Thursday, a firebomb was discovered in Joyner Building by the campus security patrol, according to Pri- tchard Smith, Director of Safety and Security at WCU. Smith said that the firebomb had not been detonated. THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN staff had left their offices at 1:00 that same morning, At 4:45 a.m., Thursday, a fire, that totally destroyed a makeshift warehouse on the WCU campus, was discovered by a campus policeman. The officer had checked the building 45 minutes earlier in accordance with the tighter security measures instituted after the three earlier fires, The structure, an old barn which had been converted into a storage facility, contained fertilizer, lime, and a quantity of veneer wood materials used by the industrial arts department, A University spokesman estimated the loss at several thousand dollars. Between 10:15 and 10:45 p.m., Thursday, two telephone calls were made by two different persons to the High Rise Residence Hall office. The first caller, a female, indicated that a bomb had been placed on a middle floor of that residence hall. Following an evacuation of the building, members of the campus security patrol conduc ted a search of the two floors, indicated by the callers, and of trash cans and other accessible recepticles, No bomb was found. On April 25, a second bomb scare occurred. A resident of the High Rise, who had answered the telephone at approximately 11:30 p.m. was told by a male caller that a bomb had been placed on that floor. Two floors of the residence hall were evacuated, and another search was conducted by the campus security patrol. Again, no bomb was found. Mrs, Peggy Zeigler, Dean of Women at WCU, stated that the girls of the High Rise "... re= acted responsibly without panic," Dean Zeigler also said that there was some speculation among the girls living in the High Rise that the evacuations were a tactic to more easily search for drugs. How- CONTDMUED Page 4.. .. CAROLINIAN EDITOR DAVID ROCK WHITTEN is shown above testifying before the North Carolina State Utilities Commission's three-day public hearing con= cerning the quality of telephone service being provided by Western Carolina Tele= phone Company, The hearing will probably result in an order by the Commission to the phone company stating what must be done if the company is to be allowed to continue service in the area.
