  • 2 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday, AprU 15, 1971 Trash burning investigated Is there a law against open burning of trash on WCU's campus? Student and faculty comp lalnts against the Townhouse and Center Pharmacy, who bum trash almost daily, prompted the CAROLINIAN to investigate. Concerning the Center Pharmacy, which reportedly burns trash six days a week, a nearby resident stated that his apartment "literaUy STOJKS,and I have to close my windows between 5-6 every day because of the ghastly smell." The resident further stated that on returning home from a holiday, found "black flakes in my bathtub and on my furnit Sidney J. Harris to speak here next Monday Sydney J. Harris, author and syndicated newspaper columnist, wUl speak at WCU at 8:15 p.m. Monday, April 19, in the Grand Room of the University Center. Harris's address, "The DU- emmas of Modern Man," is sponsored by the WCU Lecture, Concert, and Exhibition Committee. Harris has won a number of journalism prizes, including the "Page One" award of the Chicago Newspaper Guild and the Friends of Literature Award. His daUy column, "Strictly Personal" has been widely and frequently reprinted in various educational, civic, and literary journals throughout the country. "Strictly Personal" is also the title of his first book, published in 1953. This was followed by "Majority of One" in 1957, "Last Things First" in 1961, and "On the Contrary" in 1964. The address is open to the public at a nominal fee. ure" which had come from the Center Pharmacy's trash burning. Other nearby residents complained of the trash burned in the old bar-b-que pit behind the Townhouse, stating: "I find ashes from the Townhouse in cinerator on my car nearby every day." "The smell is sickening." "Between the wind and the smoke, I can hardly see at times." "The smeU is overpowering. Sometimes between classes the smoke is so thick you can't see." Several students became so annoyed last fall that they fUed a public nuisance complaint with the County Board of Health against the Townhouse. Mr. G. Goddard, County Sanitation Engineer, stated in a telephone conversation yesterday that he came to Cullowhee to investigate the complaint. "I told him (Townhouse manager) not to burn trash openly anymore, that he should haul it to the dump and not burn at all." Goddard stated that the Townhouse manager had agreed not to burn trash in the future and had said that he would haul it to the dump in plastic bags. Goddard said that he had heard nothing more of the nui sance, and had assumed no trash was being burned. He promised however to come to Cullowhee in the next few days to check f on the open burning. According to the students who fUed the complaint, no trash was burned for perhaps 5 days, then burning continued as usual. Oftn Robinson, chairman of the Health and Safety committee of WCU. is not aware of any university ordinance prohibiting open burning of trash on the campus. He pointed out, however, that the property involved was private property and questioned the authority of the university to stop the burning. William Scott, Legal Counsel for WCU, was not available for comment on this question.

A substantial savings is possible Lf one attends several activities the same quarter. Wood emphasized that the quarter passes would be a "strictly voluntary" thing and those students who did not buy one would be charged regular admission to all events. With the demand for better and more recent fUms on campus, and the change-over from 16 mm fUms to 35 mm films, the cost of the films has increased, said Wood, and this makes it necessary for the admission increase to a minimum of 75(5.
