(Staff photo by Steven Cook) No Funds For Science Laboratory Building By Gay White No money will be diverged from funds appropriated for the new science laboratory building, Chancellor Jack K. Carlton has announced. He informed the Division of Natural Sciences of his decision on April 4. The announcement referred to a study, informally endorsed on March 26 by the Board of Trustees, on the possibility of expanding the size of proposed $2.7 million Arts and Science classroom building. The plan under consideration was to utilize part of a 1969 appropriation for an addition to the administration building and to shift $500,000 of the appropriations for a new science laboratory building to the new classroom building. In an interview Tuesday, the Chancellor said that "after weighing all factors," and after discussions with people in the department concerned, he felt it would be best "to leave the Schedule Of Spring Elections At WCU Spring elections are on the way, hopefully along with the season that usually accompanies them. Elections of president and vice president of the Student Government Association will be held Thursday, April 19 in front of the University Center. thpsp nns> Raid On 3 WCU Men Nets Charges project intact." The Chancellor declined to give any reasons for his decisions other than the University budget for this year calls for a new general classroom and office building housing the departments of English, Music, and Philosophy and Religion. He said he was "very hopeful" that the General Assembly would appropriate the funds, and said that all his information indicates approval. He said the new building, if funds are appropriated, would be located between Killian and Forsyth, on the west side. The building would eventually be expanded, or another building added to include the other departments now situated in McKee, he added. "The aim is to get everybody out of McKee, if possible," the Chancellor said, pointing out that the facilities in that building are sub-standard. Candidates for these positions have until Monday April 16 to file. As of yesterday, two men had filed for the office of president, R. Scott Lindsay and Ed W, Wilson III. The candidates are currently a senior and a soph- more, respectively. Candidates who have filed for vice president are James Burns Jr., junior; Samuel C, Davis Jr., junior; Joseph L. Digges, sophomore; Mary Geanne Morrison, junior; Charles E. Newman, junior; and Wardell C. Townsend Jr., sophomore. These candidates have not yet been certified, but their eligibility is being checked and screened. Others who have expressed their intentions to run are Harold Rogers, senior, for the office of president and Dwight A. Sparks, sophomore, for vice president. The other spring election, to choose senators-at-large, day student senators and officers of the Western Carolinian, WCAT, Catamount, and the University Board is scheduled for May 8. Filing dates for these offices close on May 1.
