  • voice 01 thi: stioeints VOL. XL No. 35 THURSDAY FEBRUARY 13, 1975 WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY CULLOWHEE, NORTH CAROLINA University to change incompletes' to T's *• Undergraduate WCU students who have incompletes on their transcripts from courses taken in spring quarter 1974 and during the 1974 summer session have until 5:00 p.m. Friday to remove them, according to Edna Waldrop, assistant registrar at WCU. Beginning Monday, Feb. 17, incompletes not removed by a professor will be changed to "F" grades, according to Waldrop, in a memo slip sent to the teaching faculty Tuesday. Last night a regularly scheduled session of the StudentSen- ate's University Services Com- The WCU Student Emergency Care Team practiced monoxide rescue techniques Tuesday night. (Staff photo by Steve Cook) 'Emergency'gets fast help The call was answered at the infirmary Tuesday evening at 6:54 by one of the nurses on duty. A female voice frantically reported what appeared to be four persons sitting un- consciencely in a car parked behind Scott Dorm. Within seconds a nurse was radioing the members of the Student Emergency Care Team. "Attention SECT-Code 5. Car with four students in the overflow parking lot behind Scott Dorm." Less than two and one half minutes later the ambulance was in motion and heading to Lecturer speaks here Sunday on avoiding future rapes, assaults Frederic Sloraska, nationally known lecturer and founder of ihe National Organization for the Prevention of Rape and Assault, will speak Sunday at 8:15 p.m. in ihe Grandroom of Hinds University Center. The program, "To Be Raped or Not 10 Be Raped," is designed to give women the psychological preparedness and physical techniques necessary to thwart any possible future confrontation, and to provide boih men and women with a realistic understanding of the elements of assault. A na'live of Pennsylvania, Sioraska attended North Carolina Slate University, where his inierests included psychology and karate, in which he holds the black bell. His early work in juvenile delinquency led him to ihe study of rape, an area in which litile research had been done. Three months after he presented a program on prevention of assaults on women ai a private women's college, a coed from the school testified in a rape trial ihai her life had been saved by the information she had received from Storaska's lecture. That incident, in 1965, began his crusade to prevent the rape of American women in today's society. Since then he has lectured to more than a million students at more than 400 colleges and universities in the U. S. The program is sponsored by ihe WCU Lectures, Concerts, and Exhibitions Committee. Admission is free to WCU siudenis and subscription series members of the LCU, and $1 to others. the scene. Moments later a critical life support team was also enroute. Seven SECT members were attending classes at the time of the alarm. Upon arrival the SECT members found a parked car with its motor running, the radio playing and its four occupants apparently unconscious. From their flushed red cheeks it was feared that they had been overcome with carbon monoxide poisoning. Following a quick examination by the SECT personel, they determined that the two in the front seat should be transported first to the emergency room facilities located in the bottom of the infirmary. Meanwhile, the nurses at the infirmary were getting the emergency room prepared for the four people. Within two minutes and seventeen seconds the ambulance had transported two of the people to the emergency room, unloaded them and was headed back to pick up the remaining two. There was no doubt in the minds of any of the 11 student SECT members who answered the call that this wasn't a legitimate emergency; however, unknown to them or the nurses at the infirmary, they were being evaluated and timed for their efficiency. C.T. Tilson, student director of Emergency Medical Care Team was intently- watching their actions with binoculars from the seventh floor of Scott dorm. He also (Cont. on page 2) mittee Recommended in ;i bill to be presented to the Senate Monday night that a seven-day grace period be instated before the regulation goes into effect. The committee's bill asks the administration to postpone action on incomplete grades until 5 p.m. Feb. 24. "We wrote this legislation in order that they might notify students" about unremoved incompletes, said committee member Herb Pearce. "We decided this was unfair to students," Pearce said. "We (Cont. on page 5) FAA approves plan to build $2.16 million airport near Cullowhee The Federal Aviation Administration has approved construction of a $2016 million municipal aa-port on Berry Ridge near Cullowhee, according to an announcement Tuesday by Bruce Wike, county commission chairman and county manager, The airport, a subject of controversy here two years ago, received a final approval from the FAA Monday after the board of commissioners awarded Ihe $2,166,000 contract to A. B. Burton Co. of Lynchburg, Va. Construction of the 2,000-foot runway is to be completed within 720 days, according to terms of the contract. The 50-foot wide landing strip will handle business and private aircraft, and is located 2,2 miles west of the WCU campus on Berry Ridge, near Gribble Gap. Bulldozing of an access road to the site began this week. Jackson County received a $1,029,750 FAA grant for the project, along with $411,900 from the Appalachian Regional Commission and $629,000 from Aeronautics Division ofthe N.C. Department of Transportation. The county will match the $629,000 state money from a $100,000 bond issue the voters approved several years ago, plus $25,000 in interest accrued on the bonds. The rest of the local funds will come from $504,000 in general revenue sharing money. Wike said no tax increase would be necessary to finance construction, operation or maintenance of the airport, When general contract bids were opened last August, A.B. Burton Co. submitted a low bid of $2,551,705, more than the available funds. To reduce the cost of the project, earthmoving yardage estimates were reduced by allowing a two percent grade on the airstrip, or a slope of slightly more than one degree. The airstrip will drop forty feet from its highest point on the Berry Ridge site. The electrical contract has not been awarded, but low bidder Rockwell Radio and Electric Company ($55,098) will get it according to Wike. To date, approximately $300,000 has been spent, primarily for purchasing the site and for engineering, Wike said. When bids were opened in August, the Burton Co.'s $2.5 million estimate exceeded available funds for the project, and the N.C, Department of Transportation turned down a September request from the county for an additional $564,000 in state money, apparently killing Wike's hopes for the project. A November appeal by Wike to the Governor's Aviation Committee of the Transportation Dept.'s Aeornautics Division was approved by a 3-2 vote, and an appropriation of $491,000 was granted, Food Day postponed World Food Day-Cullo- whee has been postponed until February 26 instead of the previously announced February 19, This is so to allow more prominent speakers to be able to appear. Food Day organizers said they needed more time to organize the project successfully.
