Voice of the Students VOL. XLI NO. 28 THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1976 WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY CULLOWHEE. NORTH CAROLINA Improvement of roads planned It will be a while before paving on the NC 107 by-pass is started but other Jackson County roads, including several near Cullowhee, are scheduled to be upgraded and repaved this summer. Robert Patillo, an official of the 14th Division of the Department of Transportation located in Sylva, said Wednesday several Jackson County roads, including River Rd. and University Heights, have been funded for paving or improvement. The ongoing program, which includes paving, grading, elimination of blind curves and the upgrading of general road conditions, is carried out on a priority basis. "One of the main problems we have with roads in Western North Carolina," Patillo explained, "is frost heave." Frost heave is when moisture seeps into the roadbed, freezes, and created upheavals or potholes in the asphalt "roof" of the road. Funds have been allocated by the NC General Assembly for the improvement this summer of nearly two dozen roads in Jackson County, many of which are in the Cullowhee area. The roads in Jackson County, in order of their priority, are: Johns Creek Rd., Ketchens Branch Rd., Hensley Circle Rd., Nations Creek Rd., Cedar Creek Rd., River Rd., Ed Bryson Rd., Ash Loop Rd., Brushy Fork Rd., and Cullowhee Mountain Rd. Portions of these roads are scheduled to be paved. The following roads are scheduled to be stabilized, which includes laying of new stone: University Heights, Nettie Mountain Rd., Charlies Mountain Rd., Barker's Creek Rd., and Sols Creek Rd. But Patillo said that although the roads are on the list for paving and improvement, it may be a while before work is actually done on them. "Rights-of-way have to be secured for paving and we have to' wait on the weather to cooperate with us," he said Wednesday. Many roads for which funds were allocated in prior years have not been improved, either because property owners adjoining the road did not want to sign the right-of-way agreement or the weather was too harsh during the paving season, which runs from April through October. Construction on the NC 107 by-pass, which has been surveyed and slices through a portion of Western Carolina University, is waiting on property owners to sign rights-of-way or if necessary to relocate. If this is the case, the Department of Transportation must aid in finding a home. Two-and-one-tenths miles of Caney Fork Rd., one of the many roads near Cullowhee which was paved to a width of 12 feet under the old Farm-to-Market program under Gov. Kerr Scott in the 1950s, is slated to be widened to 20 feet and paved. "We are hoping to widen Caney Fork Rd. this summer but the short paving season might not permit us to pave the whole thing," Patillo explained. He also said Cox Farm Rd. falls into this category Five-tenths of the Western Carolina University Road is scheduled to be widened and paved and its intersection at Speedwell Rd. improved, but Patillo could give no approximation for when the work would begin. New AIDP offices will be located in Dodson cafeteria as shown by arrow. (Photo by Mclntyre). To be located in Dodson CAP Center becomes a reality by A. E. Brown, Jr. WCU's proposed Counseling, Advisement, and Placement Center will soon become a reality, according to project Director Dr. Raymond Ledford. The CAP Center is a project funded by half of a $1.7 million Advanced Institutional Develop ment Programs (AIDP) grant awarded to WCU by HEW last spring. The grant stipulates that implementation of programs must begin by January 1, 1976. The CAP Center will be located in Dodson Cafeteria "optimistically" by March 1, according to Ledford. "The Engineers Office is sub-letting contracts to renovate our portion ot the cafeteria," said Ledford. For the time being, the Academic Advising portion of the project, under the direction of Coordinator Dr. Marilyn Jody, has assumed all academic advising coordination responsibility as of January 1, in order to fulfill a requirement of the grant. Jody, along with seven paid part-time advisors selected from the WCU faculty, one half-time advisor, and a secretary plan to move temporary offices into the cafeteria by the end of January until permanent facilities are installed. Ledford said that the Academic Advisement program is designed to coordinate regular departmental advisor programs, and to "run interference" for entering freshmen, students with undecided majors, and students "unsatisfied" with their departments' advisement systems. AIDP Director Dr. Clifford Lovin added that the purpose of the CAP Center is "the coordination rather that centralization" of existing advisement programs. Ledford said that a formal announcement concerning the opening of the temporary advisement office will be forthcoming. Enjoy our mountain enviroment by BobWillingham Do you ever think back to your first arrival at WCU and try to remember what you first noticed about Cullowhee? It may have been that "There's nothing here!" which is of course a shame if that was your first impression. Chances are, however, that what you first noticed was the beauty of the mountain environment. You may have had images of what the place might look like after a fresh snow, or perhaps of yourself skiing down the side of a mountain, if such are your interests, but in any case your outlook was probably one of optimism. And then you were exposed to a very contagious and destructive disease that underlies extensive segments of student life at WCU. Some might call it apathy, some depression, while others would deceptively dispute its very existence. This mental malady manifests itself in phrases like, "There's nothing here!" or, "This place is a bummer," etc. This negative energy, pumped through the optimistic new arrivals, often succeeds in perpe tuating itself among the student body. To be sure, there are many things lacking in this campus social environment, such as taverns and their entertainments, TURN TO PAOF. 5
