  • PAGE 2 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN THURSDAY JUNE Two challenges for Robinson Three weeks ago Western Carolina University received yet another new chancellor as H. R. "Cotton" Robinson came to Cullowhee. We welcome him here. If Robinson proves to be beneficial to the university, we hope he will stay for some time. In the past three years this university's administrative head has changed five times. That is too much instability for any institution regardless of its strength, and WCU in the seventies is not very strong. For that reason, what we ask first of Robinson for WCU is a reasonable amount of stability—not stagnation, but the soundness and vitality an institution needs for debate on its future without constant fear of collapse. Stability will only come when Robinson is able to assemble an effective administration and outline his plans for taking WCU out of the "acting" status that it and most of its leaders have maintained for too long. In a time when colleges are folding due to unmet financial burdens and falling enrollments, stability will be hard to attain. However, Robinson in the past has proved to be a skillful administrator. The potential for success here is encouraging if the university community will stop the on-going paper wars and help Robinson rebuild Western. Secondly, we ask Robinson to give WCU effective leadership. This is his bigger challenge. On the surface, Robinson's largest problems seem to be with the faculty over tenure, salaries and leadership appointments. Student demands, in comparison, seem minuscule. A closer analysis leads to a radically different conclusion. Students here are quickly coming to realize that a WCU degree is annually diminishing in its respect and ability to capture jobs or entrance into respectable graduate schools. While there is no real threat of a student strike or rebellion over this issue as there is with the faculty unions over tenure and salaries, the possible result is much more serious. Quality high school graduates will not enroll at Western; the better students here will transfer, and the university will quickly come to nothing. Reversing this decline cannot be overlooked. Entrance requirements hardly exist in order to enroll as many students as possible to pay for the residence halls' debts. Once here the students have found too many professors to be either unable or too preoccupied to teach. At the same time, the University of North Carolina Board of Governors have turned a deaf ear and near- empty wallet to regional institutions such as WCU. The effective practice of the governors has been to attract the best students from all over the state to the favored campuses—i.e. Chapel Hill and Raleigh—while leaving the regional universities with nothing but the second-rate students and acknowledged second-rate diplomas. We have been told that Robinson has political clout with UNC President William Friday and the North Carolina legislature. Even so, it will take plenty of muscle to shoulder money away from the eastern "status" schools. We hope that is what Robinson will try to do instead of simply cleaning up Cullowhee for Bill Friday by getting rid of the "union boys." Again, the two things we ask of Harold Robinson for WCU are stability and effective leadership. We hope he can meet our challenges. And we ask the faculty, staff and students to give him a chance to pull Western Carolina University to its feet again. ~T\iEr WesTEf^ ELai^dLiMiam Published twice weekly through the academic year and weekly during the summer by the students of Western Carolina University.

Taylor is part of a nat- tionwide National Parks scientific research program begun earlier this year. The program, to be carried out through an agreement between WCU and the NPS Nat- tional Science Center at Bay St. Louis, Miss.s will include ecological studies in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park- and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Cooperative units already have been established at a number of other leading colleges and universities throughout the United States. The Science Center, which became operational in January, includes an Ecological Services Laboratory and the Park Service Ecological and Environmental Management Information Center. The scientific professional staff of the NPS has been centralized at the facility for the first time and the center, Safety bag bought for fires in dorms Western Carolina University has added a bag of hot air to its holdings, just to be on the safe side. And if you feel like jumping on a $5,500 expenditure, that's the whole idea. The bag—commercially sold as Life Pack—is an inflatable rectangle of nylon measuring 20 feet by 24 feet and standing, when fully inflated, nine feet high. According to the manufacturer, the bag will sustain 350 pounds of tension per inch of width, which translates into something like a hefty person jumping onto it from a 12- story height. Jumping onto it is the reason for having it. Western Carolina is the first college or university in the nation to acquire the big bag to further assure protection in event of fire in any of its three high-rise residence halls. Easily transportable, the bag can be set up quickly and once two small capacity fans are turned on inflates within 40 sec- conds. Tie Life Pack is designed to save the lives of people who find themselves trapped by a fire many floors up and left with no alternative but to jump. In a demonstration at Western Carolina, both manufacturer's representatives, university volunteer firemen, Student Development personnel and students leaped into the bag from third, fifth and sixth floor windows of Scott Hall. The bag re-inflated within five to seven seconds after each jumper left the bag. The device is based upon an air release system which expels the compressed air energy generated by the impact of a jumper. Lip type breathers open when pressure from a person's jump overcomes tension of elastic binding cords. As soon as the pressure is reduced the breathers reseal themselves. Beneath the upper portion of the bag with the air release system is a lower air cell that is relatively air tight. If the force of a jump exceeds the capacity of the top air cell, the second cell absorbs the energy of the fall. A jumper's body is completely cradled by the air bag so that the impact is without an abrupt stop or even a bounce. The entire pack weighs only 285 pounds and folds into a compact 3 ft, by 5 ft. package that can be moved aboit the campus easily by small truck or car, and can be set up with the assistance of as few as two men. It could even be set up on parked cars, obstructions, ledges or other objocts and doesn't require a level surface to be effective, according to the manufacturer. with 25 scientists, is coordinating scientific research programs for the 298 NPS areas nationwide. Western Carolina's Cooperative Unit will be directed by Dr. J. Gerald Eller, professor of biology, former head of the Department of Biology, and former dean of the School of Arts and Sciences. Assisting him will be a team of natural and social scientists at the university. The WCU unit will work with Dr. Garrett Smathers, a Haywood County native who now is chief scientist of the National Science Center, Smathers is a graduate of Furman University and receive his master's degree from WCU. Generals never go away The following is a story submitted by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States: Proliferation of the federal bureaucracy is hardly news any- longer. In some quarters you will even find those who attempt to defend tripling of government payrolls (federal, state and local) in the 1960s on the premise of increased responsibility. What is news—bad news for taxpayers—is the fact in peacetime we have a proliferation of generals and admirals. An economist for the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, poring over budget data, found there are about seven times as many generals or admirals today per soldier or sailor as there were 30 years ago. As a matter of fact, we have more admirals or generals today with a peacetime force of 2.2 million men and women in uniform than we had in World War II with 12.2 million in uniform. Sort of keeps everyone busy. Saluting.
