  • ——: Voice of the Students VOL. XLI No. 14 TUESDAY, SEPTEMBERS, 1975 WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY CULLOWHEE, NORTH CAROLINA Panty, jock raid turns explosive Robinson arrives during commotion ->.%&.- a> (Photo by Gate Traffic signal proposed The Western Carolinian has learned that recently a study was conducted to determine the feasibility of erecting a stoplight traffic control system on Highway 107 at the entrance to the WCU campus, A traffic survey conducted at the Highway Comm. Divisional office in Sylva revealed that for every car traveling North from Tuckasegee on highway 107 toward Sylva, three entered the highway at Cullowhee. It is felt by many that a stoplight at the intersection would help the campus clear more effectively in the peak periods of congestion during the day, Doyle Dillard, vice-chancellor for business affairs, said the WCU adm'nistration is in favor of the traffic light. He said that the traffic situation on campus was a problem. However, James Warner, a spokesman for the Sylva DOT (Dep't, of Transportation), said, "I doubt if it would be a good idea to put it (stop light) up. It might create a situation that is worse than what is there now. Warner said that the hill up from Hardee's deserves some safety considerations. He added that cars attempting to brake for the light under icy conditions may create a more dangerous situation. Meanwhile, traffic continues to remain congested, at least until the final verdict is passed down from Raleigh concerning the proposed traffic signal. by Anthony Brown, Jr. The first "panty-and-jock raid" of the year for WCU, which took place between 12:15 a.m, and approximately 3 a.m. Wednesday morning turned-out to be an explosive series of events involvingnumerous WCU administrators, including WCU Chancellor, H, F. Robinson, At around 12:15 a group of men gathered in the Albright- Benton, Harrill area and began the march to Helder, Scott and Walker area picking up Leatherwood men en route for what started out as a mere panty- raid, The boys and girls exchanged cat-calls and phone numbers, as in most panty- raids of the past until around 1:15 a.m., when the men started back toward their dorms. The women, subsequently poured out of their dormitories in hot pursuit, The women followed the men to the "hill" of "old Fall in the mountains... by Erik Kirzinger Fall creeps into the mountains as silently and as persistently as age overtakes youth. One day the mountains arc carpeted with a thick blanket of lush foliage, and the next thing you know the leaves are ablaze in an orgasm of colors. Ah yes, fall in the mountains,,.a crisp refreshing chill in the air; leaves glowing with rich, brilliant colors so breathtaking that even the most talented artists are humbled; scenes of Nature in Her glory so moving that even the most gifted poets are at a loss for words... Is fall in fact the best of all possible seasons, or is it a favorite because one realizes that the long cold months of 01' Man Winter are patiently waiting their turn in the wings. Actually, in either case it doesn't matter. The important thing is to get out onto the mountains and indulge one's senses in a virtual feast of sights, smells and sounds which abound in the mountains and valleys around Cullowhee. Fall means more than Saturday afternoon football games, the never-ending job of leaf raking or the time to get the house weather- ready for the rapidly approaching cold temperatures. Do yourself a favor. Take a ride in the mountains, go for a walk in the woods, experience autumn I Ah yes, fall in the mountains... experience it (Photo by Gatewood) campus" and a "jock-raid" was carried out. It was during this time that various administrators, such as Chat Sue of Housing; Glen Stillion, Vice Chancellor for Student Development; Bob Doyle, director of Reynolds; Dick Cameron, Associate Dean 3f Student Activities; and Doug Davis, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Student Development arrived at the raid. One of them apparently called Chancellor Robinson to the scene. John Dollard, an RA in Leatherwood, who related the sequence of events, said that the chancellor arrived in his "big state car" when only about "thirty or so men were out ■ side Helder." Dullard, who was at his "station" for a "panty raid" on Helder, said that Robinson stopped his car in front of Helder, jumped out, "shaking and red, he was so mad." According to Dollard, Robinson approached him, asking him what his name was. Dollard explained that he was an RA, "He paid me no attention," he said. Robinson, in leaving the scene, ran into a crowd of men near the intersection in front of Dodson and Leather- wood, which mobbed his car and beat on its top and hood, Dollard relatedo According to witnesses and Dollard, Robinson was "mooned" by "five or six men." Finally, the chancellor left, and because the small crowd at Leatherwood-Helder was sparked on by his visit, the melee continued until "3 to 4 a.m," Dollard said that his hall director informed him that Robinson "is wanting the names of 200 to 300 students so that he can kick them out of school." When Robinson was confronted with questions about the 'commotion,' which Dollard described, and which was collaborated by three to four less brave witnesses who wish to remain anonymous, he denied that there was any "commotion." Robinson said that he was not disturbed by the panty raid in his sleep, but that he saw the action taking place "while going to my office to do some TURN TO PAGE 4
