  • VOICE. OF THE STUDENTS Vol.XLI No. 32 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1976 WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY CULLOWHEE NORTH CAROLINA Photo bv Stokes Gatewood EMS* illinium iiiiiimiiiimiiii ^|t| \J W I iiiiiiiiii Three charged in McGuinnis by A. E. Brown, Jr. Three Charlotte men were arrested Sunday and charged with the December 30, 1974 murder of Western Carolina senior, Eddie McGuinnis. William Jack Payne, Jr., 18, Charles Bruce Keeten, 29, and Michael E. Madden, 26, ail of Charlotte, were being held in Mecklenberg County Jail Monday on charges of first degree murder with no bond. Madden is also being held on $100,000 bond for a charge of hit and run. McGuinnis was found at approximately 11:00 p.m. December 10, 1974 in an office storeroom of a Kwik-Pik convenience store just outside of Charlotte with two McGuinnis was found at approximately 11 p.m. December 10, 1974 in an office-storeroom of a Kwik-Pik convenience store just outside of Charlotte with two Phone rates hiked by A. E. Brown Jr. Western Carolina University will pay an extra $841.80 per month on its telephone bill if the rate hike proposed by the Western Carolina Telephone Company is implemented. WCTC Vice-president T. A. Rogers said that the proposed rate increase of $9.15 for private business lines will double for WCU's Private Branch Exchange (PBX) "trunks," which feed the campus operator's switchboard and connect Western with the outside world. An unidentified campus operator said that WCU has 46 various types of PBX "trunks." WCU Chancellor H. F. Robinson said at a dinner meeting with WCU student leaders held January 21 that money saved from the university's new policy of intercepting illegal collect calls placed to dormitory pay telephones will more than compensate for the proposed hike. Rumor has it that Robinson agreed not to oppose the rate increase if the telephone company agreed to place 25 free telephones on the WCU campus and give WCU a possible rate decrease. However, according to WCU Student Government Association Vice president Steve Sherman, "Western Carolinian" Editor Annelle Beall, and WCU Vice- chancellor for Business Affairs, Doyle Dillard, Robinson promised the WCTC nothing. The three said Robinson stated at the student leader dinner that if the telephone company placed one telephone per floor in every dormitory (24 telephones), he would have no platform from which to criticize the rate hike. Dillard said that Western has made no plans toeither attend the public hearings on the rate hike. Robinson at press time was unavailable for comment. The anonymous campus operator explained that of the 46 "Trunks." 15 are one way (from the outside to WCU) long-distance lines. 24 are "Central office" lines on which long dis tance calls can be made from WCU to the outside world, three connect Western with the local community, three are watts line long-distance lines, and one is a special "attendant line" for the exclusive use of the campus operator. The proposed rate increase is $3.70 for private lines, $3.35 for party lines, and $9.15 for"private business lines. A Public Hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m., February 10: written comments can be made to the telephone company at: NC Utilities Commission- Consumer Services Section, Box 991, Raleigh, NC, 27602. Refer to Docket Number P58, Sub. 99. Bond issue support urged slaying bullets in his head and one in his shoulder. A sum of $600 was found missing from the store's cash register. Payne was arrested at 12:20 a.m. Sunday, and Madden and Keeten were arrested some seven hours later according to police sources. Police officials refused to disclose evidence leading to any of the arrests. Addressing a group of faculty, staff, administrative and student leaders, Chancellor H. F. Robinson and Frank Brown, vice-chancellor of development and extended services, urged support of the proposed $43 million state bond issue to be presented to voters March 23. The bond issue, which if passed will allocate money for capital improvements to 13 of the 16 state universities, will provide $3.4 million to be used for the building of an administrative/mountain heritage museum building. Brown, one time acti.ig chancellor of WCU, said that WCU had to "put the shoulder to the wheel" in getting support for the issue. Currently ten buildings on campus house administrative offices. The erection of the new building would eliminate this problem. Mike Killam, student body president, indicated in an interview later that one might be against the priority of administrative facilities over library or classroom facilities, but this should not cause a no-vote on the issue. He stressed that the improvements for other universities outweighed any negative feeling he had for the bond issue. "The whole university system needs it," Killam said. Other allocations provided for in the issue include $3.3 million for a library addition for Appalachian State University, $1.9 million for a classroom-office building for UNC at Asheville, $6 million for classroom-office space at UNC-Charlotte, $5.4 million for PE and intramural facilities at UNC-Chapel Hill. Twenty students clad in wet suits and clutching inner tubes plunged into the Tuckaseigee River Saturday for the promise of $85 in prize money and the chance to do it again this weekend. Winners of the sixth annual WCU Winter Quarter Tubing Race were Richard Baker of Valdese, John Pinkerton of Asheville, and Derek Hiscox of Hendersonville. (Photo by Will Mclntyre).
