  • VOICE OF THi: MIHIXTS VOL. XL No. 37 THURSDAY FEBRUARY 20, 1975 WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY CULLOWHEE, NORTH CAROLINA Women voters planning to fight a irport project The WCL; Volunteer Fire department recently purchaseu foam equipment for use in primarily electrical or chemical fires. The new equipment was tested Monday night on the parking lot near Robertson Hall. (Photo by Rick Rose.) Veterans no longer getting tuition deferrals ; new policy by Sager Williams Administration officials have quietly changed another longstanding policy, this time affecting the payment of tuition and fees by veterans. In the past, veterans who could not pay for any or all of their tuition and other fees were allowed to defer payment. Now veterans must be able to prove they are not receiving their government checks, "The new policy is that we won't be able to give deferments unless it's a new applicant whose checks haven't started, or they're having problems with the check or whatever,," said Richard Cameron, Associate Dean of Student Activities, and in charge of veteran's affairs for the university. "What was happening is people were deferring for this quarter for next quarter and then next quarter for the following quarter, and see, that's a hell of a budget thing to keep up with. Unless you've got the money, you really don't ~ for accounting purposes — have students. And that's a problem. So we had to figure out a way that would solve that problem," said Cameron. Cameron said he regretted the lack of notice to veterans. "We realize it's kind of a surprise, but it's something that had to be done, and it really, in all fairness, shouldn't bother them because they knew they had this money they had to pay. If they were relying on a deferment, that's not the way to handle money correctly," he commented. Like any student, veterans who don't have the money to pay fees before March 4 can arrange with the registrar's office to have their class schedules held from cancellation if they will have the money by March 22,accordingtoCam= eron. "That's the one thing that is being done for these people," he said. WCU Controller Clyde Martin insisted that there was no policy change. "The only policy we've ever had, was if they had a situation if their VA applications had been sent in, and it hadn't come through, Cameron was authorized in those situations to pass them until such time as those checks started comming in, or until they got it squared away," he said. But, Martin added that "some of these fellows have been using that as a permanent type of a thing." "We're trying to get the thing back into perspective — the way it is designed to be. In other words, we're not there giving blanket passes just because he's a VA and because he wants to pay it on a monthly basis," said Martin. Cameron agreed, "Really, if we're going to go ahead and defer for all the veterans, then why can't we go ahead and defer for everybody else. They're at least guaranteed $270 a month. The question I've been asking them is why should we give you a deferment, you've got this money coming in, you don't need it quite as much as some one who doesn't have this income," Cameron stated. Martin said he, Cameron, Business Vice Chancellor Doyle Dillard, Student Development Vice Chancellor Glenn Stillion, and Director of Financial Aid Glenn Hardesty would meet this morning to discuss the matter CONTINUED PAGE 5 The Jackson County League of Women Voters met with Waynesville attorney John Jay Monday night to discuss the feasibility of filing legal actions against the Jackson County Airport Project. The League met with Jay and discussed the airport project along with other items in a program on land use. Another public meeting will be held Monday at 7:30 p.m. in the Jackson County Courthouse in Sylva to further discuss the issue. The county Commissioners have been invited to attend. Veronica Nicholas, president of the local League chapter said that the League's position on the airport issue would come from the national position on representative government. That position states, "the League takes action to promote an open governmental system that is representative,accountable and responsive to all citizens." The local chapter's main concern over the airport issue is that Jackson County only re- cieves $350,000 annually from Federal Revenue Sharing Funds and that $500,000 in Revenue Sharing Funds have been allocated for the airport project. Many persons who are not members of the League were present at the meeting Monday night. Jay said that the majority of the people at the meeting were there "more or less in opposition to the airport project." He said that he has not been formally hired to represent the League but they had contacted him for his opinion on the matter. Jay said that he is investigating the airport project in two specific areas. He said the financing of the airport's construction may be in question. He said that the N.C, constitution specifics how counties may finance these types of projects. If Jackson County is not following this procedure the courts could grant an injunction against the project on those grounds. He said, "If there are any irregularities which might make the bonds invalid, this is one option open to any group which might seek to block the airport project," The other area of concern to the League is the Environ- mantal Impact Statement which was filed with the Environmental Protection Agency. He said that there was some ques- CONTINUED PAGE 3 Food Day support grows; proceeds going for CARE With the World Food Day- Cullowhee less than a week away, support and participation is growing. The World Food Day-Cullowhee Committee hopes that the project will set a precedent to be followed by other universities. This is a chance for the school to establish a "new maturity", perhaps a redemption from the streaking record of a year ago. The project has received both adulation and support since its beginnings and the Culmination of work on Wednesday, Feb. 26 should prove successful. A full advertising campaign was unraveled this week, and workers are approaching area merchants for contributions which will be handled by CARE. All students who wish to participate in the 24-hour fast and have the proceeds go to CARE should turn in their meal tickets at supper Tuesday night. Off campus students may make donations at the tables in front of the Town House and the UC on Wednesday. Members of the World Food Day-Committee, The University Center Board, The Western Carolinian and several faculty, members have already provided manpower and supplies for the endeavor. Beginning at 12 noon, Wednesday, three speakers will present different aspects of the World Food Crisis. Chancellor H. F. Robinson, geneticist and a purveyor of the "Green Revolution" will open the speeches. Mr. Bee Brown, coordinator of the CARE program in Atlanta will also speak. The third lecturer will be Dr. El- lerd Hulbert of the history department. The speeches will take place in the Grandroom of the UC. The afternoon will be topped off by the War Between Men and Women - a massive campus wide water balloon fight. The war which will determine once and for all, the dominating sex on campus, will take place on the UC lawn - weather permitting. Proceeds from the battle will go to CARE. So far the only negative action has been from the Student Government Association which has twice voted down a bill proclaiming Wednesday Feb. 26 to be World Food Day- Cullowhee, The bill called for simple support and not sanctioning, Jim Shive, Chairman of the University Services Committee of the SGA explained that students need to look at Jackson County problems before tackling those overseas. A quick check with County- officials revealed that no one in Jackson County has died of starvation lately.
