  • THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday, April 8, 1971 3 State tax unfair A bill Sen. Marshall Kauch says would remove a tax inequity against young people 'earning a living with one hand and pursuing an education with the other" hasbeeen introduced in the N. C. Senate. Rep. Marcus Short of Greensboro introduced a companion measure in the House of Representatives. Both seek to broaden an action of the 1967 General Assembly, which granted an extra exemp tion of $600 for each dependent in college. Rauch and Short want the same exemption extended to young married couples engaged in both earning a livin? and rounding out the education of one or both of the spouses. A couple in their forties with one child in college is eligible for the extra $600, "However," Rauch says, "a pair of 20-year-olds with the husband in college is not eligible for the same extra $600. Gwk'But "That just isnt fcir. We are discriminating against those who are earning a living with one hand and pursuing an education with the other. The least we can do is to provide the same Incentive we give under the old law." Student is tried, fined $100 A WCU student was fined $100 and court costs and put on two years probation by Jackson County Superior Court on March 29. Wallace D. Jenkins was found guilty of the theft of a tape recorder, valued at $150,00.

Many people, some almost up in arms about these wrecked cars being dumped near the Bantam Chef, have complained to SCAPE, the CAROLINIAN, and to Mr, Wayne Dillard, Dillard, who owns the property.C'I bought it, I guess I can do what I want to with it") says he intends to cover the cars with dirt, build a retaining wall, and plant grass over it. He says he cares about the appearance of the river and doesnt intend to make it any uglier, A lot of people are hoping that Dillard's project ends up the opposite of the way it started. It hurts, but well put up with pollution By FRANK PATTERSON What is Mead Corporation to the people who live under the smoke-filled skies of Sylva? To . get an answer this writer interviewed ten people who work or live near the mill. One employee of a business near the mill complained of "a burning in my throat and a heavy feeling way down in my lungs." He went on to say that "on certain days the smog is so bad that customers go elsewhere. It hurts business." When asked if he would like to see the Mead Corporation shut down, his reply was a very definite "yes." A middle-aged woman who lives about two blocks from the mill talked of the black particles that fell on the clothes she tried to dry outside. "On certain days," she continued, "when it is warm enough to open my windows, a dirty fog just moves right inside the house." She ended by saying that the Mead Corporation was too important to the the town to be closed up. Another man complained that every morning he had to scrape the black particles off his windshield with his ice scraper before he could drive to work, but agreed that the Mead Corporation meant too much to the community to be shut down. One woman refused to comment saying "too many of my relatives work there." Then she quickly added "Sylva would be a ghost town without it," Of the ten people this writer interviewed, only one was in favor of Mead getting out of Sylva. Each of the ten suffered under the pol luted air, but nine wanted the Mead Corporation to stay. It seems that a majority of the townspeople feel the mill is a necessity to the economic well-being of Sylva. One old man of about seventy- five summed up the situation. He said, "Sometimes it hurts me to breathe and the smoke sure ain't nice to look at, but you've got to put the good up next to the bad. Mead has got to keep running. If they left, too many people would be left without a place to work." Housing will not discriminate A non-discrimination from off-campus landlords will be required by WCU's Housing Office before they will be included in the listing of available off-campus housing for students and faculty. The new listing will probably be in effect by summer school. "This new policy has no effect on where a student may live," stated Robert Dawson, Acting Director of Housing, "it just means that WCU will not refer anyone to a landlord who has not signed the non-discrimination clause." The new clause is in keeping with the requirements of the federal government and the Civil Rights Act, It states that the landlord will subscribe to the policy of nondiscrimination againstanypro- spective tenant or tenants on the basis of race, color, reli gion, national origin, or sex.
