  • VOICE OF THK STUDENTS VOL. XL No. 22 THURSDAY NOVEMBER 14, 1974 WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY CULLOWHEE, NORTH CAROLINA Our photograper Steve Cook forgot to ask this Western Carolina coed what she was laughing at. Could have been the weather, or it could have been . . . ? Senate passes resolutions The Student Senate met Monday night and passed five resolutions, three of which were aimed at making significant changes to the University community. The first resolution was a recommendation "to the University and State to provide for a posted reduction of the speed limit, and.br other measures to insure pedestrian safety on Speedwell Road, from its intersection with University Drive to the area adjacent to E. J. Whitmire Stadium." The resolution is an attempt to change the current "hazardous" speed limit there to one that will enhance the safety of pedestrian and vehicular traffic. This "hazardous" speed limit is a result of increased pedestrian traffic along the roadway. The bill was passed unanimously. A second resolution, which also passed unanimously, establishes an "Office of Legal Assistance" for WCU students. Primarily, this office is to provide three main services to the students. First, it will keep and make available to students a list of local attorneys who have indicated a concern for student rights. Secondly, the legal assistance director and his assistants will aid student- defendants in obtaining legal assistance, raising bond, and notifying their families or other persons which they want contacted. Finally, the office will serve as an information center, pro- Student loan fund set up The Twentieth Century Club has an established Loan Fund of $250 per year at WCU,known as the Ruth Allison Morris Student Ixian Fundi Any worthy student, preferably a Jackson County student desiring this Loan Fund may use it for one, two, three or four years before paying any of it back. The Club asks that a stu dent using this scholarship be= gin paying it back at the end of nine months after graduation, or if they stop school and secure a job. The interest rate is 3 per cent on unpaid balance. Anyone interested in this scholarship, please contact Mr. W. Glen Hardesty in the office of Student Aids and Awards at the University. Call 293- 7290, viding students with information on various federal, state, local, and University laws or policies. A third resolution that was passed would delete one section of the Traffic Code, which reads: "Any vehicle in violation of any ordinance or regulation created herein will be towed at the owner's expense. Such expense shall constitute a lien against said vehicle." The resolution states that violators are given no opportunity but to pay the towing fee to private towing service operators. In addition, the bill claims that the current provision is open to abuse. The Senate voted 20-2 to send the recommendation to the WCU administration. The last two resolutions brought before the Senate dealt into financial issues ofthe SGA. One resolution called for the purchasing of an electric calculator, which would be made available to all departments of the SGA. An increase of S25 for the stipends of the presidential and vice presidential assistants was also passed by the senate in another resolution. Previously the stipends were $50. Before adjourning, Don Ramsey, director of Student Government Productions, told the senators that Dickie Betts, of the Allmap Brothers Band, will be here ih concert tonight. Yearbook subscriptions Go on sale Students wanting a copy of next year's yearbook will have to buy a $2 subscription, according to Catamount staff members last night. Next week they will be making door-to-door calls in the residence halls to sell the books. Commuter students will be able to buy subscriptions in the University Center. According to Catamount editor Phyliss Snider, the yearbook did not have enough money *x> fund a book of any size due to debts.from last year. Tim yearbook has originally been completely subsidized by he Student Government Associ ation, but this year SGA and the Catamount agreed to only partial funding. Rising costs of producing and printing a quality book was taking a larger and larger percentage of the almost fixed amount of money the SG>\ has to appropriate. Rather than cut the yearbook entirely and place the total cost of the book on the student wanting a book, the senators devised ;he partial subsidy policy. Students who do not pay the $2 will not receive a yearbook next year. Also, seniors will have to pay an additional Si.59 for mailing costs if they want the book mailed to them. At University Center Students to make gigantic submarine A 250-foot-long submarine- probably wouldn't make any waves in nautical circles, but when the submarine in question is a sandwich, then 250 feet might set a new record. That's what the students at Western Carolina University hope to do today when they gather on the front lawn of A. K, Hinds University Center to put together a ham, bologna and salami sandwich. According to the sponsors of this "Cullowhee Record Day," the University Center Board, no one is known to have tried this feat before. Using nearly 75 pounds of meat, 750 .pickle slices, 20 pounds of tomatoes, 10 pounds of lettuce and 84 three-foot loaves of bread, students will make the sandwich atop tables covered with cellophane, wait for a signal to slice a hunk off and taste their completed product. After the sandwich has disappeared, students will spend the rest of the afternoon competing against each other in goldfish eating, kissing, face slapping, limbo, Frisbee- throwing and arm wrestling contests. Winners will be given prizes. Donations for the sandwich have been made from Saga Food Service and Selecto Meats of Knoxville, Tenn. Veterans warned of beneficiaries Make certain the right person is beneficiary on your GI insurance policy, the Veterans Administration reminds five mi;Iion veterans covered under its government life insurance program: Otherwise, you may add to emotional stress of survivors when it is discovered the intended beneficiary was not named on the policy. In such cases, according to VA Regional Office Director H. W, Johnson, VA is obligated by law to pay insurance proceeds to the beneficiary of record. Most of the agency's insureds are World War II veterans who carry National Service Life Insurance, The problem of insurance benefits going to an unintended recipient arises in most instances because the veteran simply never gets around to changing his beneficiary, Johnson said. In a typical case, the veteran named his mother as benefic- iary when he first took out his policy. When he married, he forgot to notify VA that he wished to change his beneficiary. Besides emotional stress, the result often is unwarranted financial hardship, especially for his widow and young children. Johnson urged any veteran who wishes to ascertain or change his beneficiary to contact the VA Insurance Center to which he pays his premiums—either in Philadelphia or St. Paul.
