  • Cbe Mesitern Carolinian I'OH'E OF THE STUDENTS VOL. XXXVII, No. 45 Tuesday, Anril 11, 1972 Western Carolina University Cullowhee, N.C, LOCKAMY IU sn,\s Williams is new SGA president Write-in launched foi pres, last year a last-minute write-in campaign for president fell through. This year Sager Williams hopes for better results. Williams, Student Government Vice-President, yesterday announced that he was running a write-in campaign for President of the Student Body against the only candidate that has filed, Dwight Nelson. Williams said several things swayed his decision, the biggest point being the strong probability that he would be SGA President before the end of this school year. As was expected, Greg Lockamy announced his resignation last night's senate meeting, and the day before S.G.A. elections, Williams became Student Government President. "When I considered filing," Williams said, "I tried to decide on who could get the most for the students, me or Dwight, I figured we were pretty much even, so I didn't file. "Now," Williams said, "I'll have the edge, because I can start now. I will be president," Williams said a second reason for the late decision to try for the presidency is to get the students out to vote. He said he expected about 800 to vote before, but now is hoping for a turnout of 1200 students or better. Three big points Williams is basing his campaign on are: -Complete reworking of the philosophy of Student Government "Our big problem is communications," he said. He wants, to develop "two- way communications," and increase student involvement. -Strengthen S0G„A.'s role in academics. Williams wants to urge new innovations in the classroom. "Maybe we can look at the 4-1-4 system." -Help smooth over housing problems. He said that there are problems with coordinators and that Student Government should help the hall governments with some of their problems. Art building dedicated Western Carolina University will dedicate its newest academic building in honor of Carol Grotaies Belk, wife of Charlotte businessman Irwin Belk. The structure, consisting of three interconnected buildings, -houses the departments of art, home economics, C QNTINUED ON Page 4 SAGER WILLIAMS GREG LOCKAMY Greg Lockamy, President of Student Government Association, officially resigned last night at the regular meeting of the student senate. Lockamy credited his resignation to a drop in his qpr and the fact that he has twelve hours of incompletes. Lockamy intended to register late this quarter, but has not yet been cleared by the accountingoffice for permission to register. He did not turn in the receipts for travel expenses and refused to sign a letter of intent to pay the debt Apparently, he is now collecting those receipts for submittal to the accounting office. Lockamy will not be a student this quarter, though. In Lockamy's resignation speech before the Senate, he said that he felt the Senate had DDT in everything noted ecologist tells SCAPE audience By DON BRADY Dr. Lamont C. Cole shocked his audience Friday afternoon when he stated that, "It is impossible to take a sample of anything on this planet without finding a trace of DDT,'' Dr. Cole was the afternoon featured speaker at the environmental forum. The forum on, "Clean Air: Where Do We Stand—Where Are We Going," was sppnsored by the Students Concerned About Population andEnvironmentand Environmental Education Program of North Carolina. Dr. Cole, of Cornell University, spoke on the general topic of ecology. He told of his work in trying to save the east coast salt marshes and of his research in the consumption of oxygen. In 1966 Dr. Cole did research which proved that the plant life of the United States produced only 66% of the Oxygen used by the American people. Pollution, according to Dr. Cole, is world wide and he believes that any move to clean up the air must be a world wide project. Plastics were named by Dr. Cole as the single most dangerous threat to air pollution. Plastics, when burned, give off sulfur gas and this gas is at dangerous levels in several cities in the United States. Dr. Cole pointed out that President Nixon's tax on those companies who pollute the air with sulfur, in his opinion had little value. In his research he had discovered that it will cost industry nineteen cents a pound to take sulfur out of their waste and the Nixon tax will cost them only fourteen cents a pound to pollute the air. Air pollution, according to Dr. Cole, cannot be separated from other types of pollution. He believes that general laws concerning all types of pollution are needed now. Earlier in the afternoon, Dr. David A. Le Sourd spoke to about 75 spectators on the economics of air pollution. Dr. LeSourd, of the Research Triangle Institute, told his au» dience that air pollution does 24 billion 900 million dollars in damages to American business every year. The total investment to clean up our air between now and 1977, he said, would be ten billion dollars. When questioned on how this would effect consumer prices. Dr. LeSourd stated that the cleaning of the air would cost the public a one percent rise in the cost of goods. New car prices would be the largest increase to the consumer. His research stated that new car prices would rise ten percent if the auto industry were forced to meet the new Nixon, "Clean Air Act." Dr. LeSourd closed his speech by saying that "we can clean up our air if people are willing to pay for it." made a lot of progress in the past year. He went on to say, he had never enjoyed a more enlightening or delightful ex- periende as "I have had this year as President of the Student (kivernment Association." The Senate officially swore in its president, Sager Williams, as President of S.G.A.,andStan Clontz as the new Vice-President, To take the place of Clontz, as president pro-tem- pore, the Senate elected Pat Clayton. Today the student elections for president and vice president of SGA for next year will be elected. The polls, in from of the university center, will be open from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. Williams is running a write- in campaign against Dwight Nelson for president and Keith Roberts is running a write-in for vice-president against Barry Dodson. The validity of a write-in, should he win, is covered in the by-laws of the SGA Constitution. Any write-in candidate may appeal to the Senate for the votes he received to count, With Senate approval of the appeal the candidate's votes become legal. Dismissal for Winston asked by defender Public Defender Dwight Nelson asked for a dismissal of charges against Howard Winston last night in the Superior Court, The court will reach its decision within seven days.
