  • THURSDAY FEBRUARY 13, 1975 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 7 Harrill, SGA tangle on funds by Sager Williams Harrill Hall's programming council and the Student Senate have been having fun with each other lately. The Senate, through its committee on clubs and organizations headed by Steve Sherman, began the activity by launching a mysteriously vague probe ofthe Harrill Hall group's finances. To date, the committee has been able to hold only one official hearing, primarily due to the clever delaying tactics used by Harrill Hall leaders, including one of their own student senators, Chris Reed, and the Hall's housing director, Jim Metzger. At that one meeting, conducted with more formality and solemnity than the Watergate hearings, sworn testimony was taken from two witnesses, one a former member of Harrill's programming council, and the other, his girlfriend. Tommy Borders, the current president of Harrill's programming council attended the hearing, but only gave the committee a prepared statement, refusing to answer any questions. He also did not bring the council's books and canceled checks, as the committee had requested. Instead, Borders invited the committee to visit Harrill Hall, and there, at a public regular meeting of the council, ask its questions and look at any financial records it wished to see. The committee accepted the invitation and went to Harrill last Monday night. They shouldn't have. Now, it was Harrill's turn for a hearing. To set the scene, the first part of the meeting began with Sherman, sitting on a couch that nearly swallowed him, asking questions to Borders who was positioned behind a table between four other members of the programming council. Sherman wanted to know how the council's book-keeping system was set up, and specifically who could and would have to sign checks. At the committee's previous hearing their star witness had charged that only hall director Metzger's signature was necessary. His girlfriend testified that Metzger bought a carpet for his private apartment with Hall funds. Both said Metzger ran the programming counsel, not the elected officers. Of course, Borders and Reed now denied all of this. "Now I don't really know too much," began Reed, "But we've got an accounting system that would make General Motors proud. I'm no accountant, but even my simple mind can understand them." "Well, can we see the books?" asked Sherman. "What does the council think?" said Borders. "You can see the books, but they will not be allowed to leave the dorm and nothing can be copied from them in any form." Then, as some courious movement outside the room began, Sherman looked at what the council did have, a few simple entrees just in one ledger and a comedy program funny enough to be done professionally. The comedy program went like this. First a sign — "Harrill Hall Committee on Turkey Affairs" — goes up, followed quickly by two council members pushing in a table with a large box on it. In the box, a real live turkey. "Will the witness please state his name." "Godfrey J. Gobble," says someone. "Mr. Gobble, please raise your right wing and prepare to be sworn in.'' Borders begins to ask a whole series of questions, all similar to those asked at Sherman's committee hearing. Does Jim Metzger run Harrill Hall? Has any money been spent without authorization? Did Metzger buy a rug with Hall money? Does Metzger run around nude in the Hall? (Run around nude in the Hall??) To all of the , questions, we are told that Mr. Gobble answers "No." Borders does most of the talking for the turkey — "He doesn't speak our language, gobble, gobble, gobble." "He says its impossible for Jim to run everything," Borders tells the audience. As Sherman finishes examining the Hall's books, the turkey is wisked away with another reminder that the committee "can subpoena you back if we want to." Now begins a dialogue between Sherman and Borders. Sherman: "The committee has a few questions we would like to ask." Borders: "Mr. Sherman, I was under the impression that you had already asked all of you questions." S: "But how could we have asked questions about your books when we hadn't seen them yet.'?" B: "There's no need for questions, the books are up to date and accurate." Exaspirated, Sherman hands back the books, saying "I do not forsee that anything can be gained from lookingat the books under these conditions." Then he reads another official request, with all the appropriate wherefores and thereofs, from his committee asking for the council's records and for the council members to appear at the committee's next meeting. The senate committee left after that, but the council members wanted to know how their turkey act had gone over. "That was the stupidest turkey we could find," said one member, One of the few sensible judgements of the evening came from Harrill Hall's other student senator, Ronnie Coward, who is also a member of Sherman's committee. Coward, puzzled by the attitude of the hall council, expressed his concern that the whole matter be brought out into the open. "If they don't have anything to hide, then why not come out with it and get itover with'?" he said. Why indeed?

Juli iS, 1973 1 rargt an CV 73-. 1 A groupof local businessmen, teachers and residents are attempting to form a Jaycees chapter in Cullowhee. According to Norman West, owner of the Varsity Shop in Cullowhee, the group held an organizational meeting last week to elect temporary officers and begin to finalize plans for organization of the local chapter. West was elected temporary president. Jerry Ewen, owner of the Canterbury Inn was elected as temporary- treasurer, and Sheldon Smook, owner of Denim Unlimited, was elected as temporary secretary. West said the 25 people who attended last night's meeting at the Canterbury Inn brain stormed ideas about what community service the group could do, including establishing an arboretum and an overall cleanup of the Cullowhee business district. West said that there were approximately 25 person sat the last organizational meeting. Next Wednesday at 7 p.m. the group will meet to collect dues and work on a draft of the chapter's constitution. West said that State Jaycees officers, including a state vice- president, is helping the local group form. 119 N. Main 0 Commenting on the composition of the group, West said that there are "long-hairs, straights, businessmen, and teachers. These are people who really like Cullowhee," he said. He said that the local chapter could support many local projects. One of the larger projects would be the opening of the old Blackwood Railroad bed from Dillsboro to I-aPort into a nature and bicycle trail. The group will probably reel ve a formal charter from the state organization by mid- March, he said. "We will probably be active doing things before then."
