  • SVTEM (aMUHAI VOICE OF THE STUDENTS THURSDAY, APRIL29, 1 WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY POB66, CULLOWHEE. NORTH CAROLINA Lt. Gov. candidates woo voters The eight candidates for Lt. Governor of NC appeared before voters and party regulars in Asheville Monday night to woo support for the August Primary race. Areas of concern fell into several distinct catagories: reform and improvement of the state's educational and criminal justice systems, and increasing the rate of industrial development. All the candidates stressed the need for open, responsive, and efficient state government. C.A.Brown, Jr., auctioneer from Maxton, advocated price supports for farmers, repeal of the food tax, and reinstatement of chain gangs. He dodged questions on supporting the unionization of migrant farm workers. The former mayor of Chapel Hill, Howard Lee, the only black in the race, stressed the need for return of justice and welfare system. He encourages efforts to increase industrialization in NC. Lee advocates a stern and comprehensive evaluation of the entire educational network. He cited the proliferation of duplicated community colleges, technical schools, and some universities, and spoke of the need to establish definite educational goals in every institution. Mr. Lee questions the building of East Carolina University's Medical School although he once was an advocate of it. James C. Green, speaker of the NC House, stood on his record of appointing "good committee chairmen" in the House and could do the same in the Senate as Lt Governor. The House Budget Committee, of which he is chairman, cut 290.4 million dollars from the current budget, Mr. Green said. E. Frank Stephenson Jr. of Murfreesboro intends to run on a platform of loving people, teaching the three R's in schools, and wanting to see the state of NC served better. Herbert Hyde, an Asheville North Carolinians as reforming the criminal justice system, re-organizing the State Utilities Commission to curb abnormally high rate increases granted to utilities companies, and up-grading state education.When Hyde was questioned, he advocated the passage of a State housing code for migratory labor camps and increasing allocations to county highway districts for secondary road maintenance. Waverly Akins of Fuquay-Var- ina concentrated his remarks on industrial development. NC has lost numerous industries to SC in the last year, Mr. Allen said. He cited that NC has the lowest wage scale in the US and pointed out that the right to work law was unimportant to attracting companies to the state. The only woman to campaign for Lt. Governor, Mrs. Kathryn McRacken, a school teacher from Red Springs, stressed improvements in education, quick and just trials and control of crime. The late Senator Everett Jordan's son, John, of Saxapa- haw, introduced legislation to reinstate chain gang labor. Jordan advocates freezes on state employment, increases of state minimum wages for all workers to the levels set by the federal government, and a sharing of the revenues from the state sales tax between county and state government. The only question put to the group as a whole dealt with their attitudes on capital punishment. Hyde led the response by saying that although 80 to 85 per cent of the state population supported it, he does not believe one man can rightfully kill another. "That's what the Bible said, Lee, Stephenson, and McRacken echoed Hyde. They all believed the oath of any office would compel them to uphold the law and all court decisions. Akins, a former F.B.I, employe emphatically stated that those who commit crimes should die for them. Brown strongly endorsed Akin's stand as did Green and Jordon. The annual Student Art Show will be accepting entries until Friday, April 30, at 4 p.m. Work should be submitted to the Art Dept. in display-ready form, and a 75 cents entry fee will be collected for each piece of work entered. The show is open to all WCU students of all majors. 400 plus to take part in Special Olympics More than 400 persons will take part in the fifth annual WCU Special Olympics, to be held here May 8 on the track and .in the swimming pool of Reid Gym. Participants in this area event will be sponsored by the Cherokee Sheltered Workshop and by public school systems in Buncombe, Cherokee, Clay, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Pre -registration announced Dates of interest to students planning to attend either Summer School or next fall quarter have been announced by Ms. Harriet Parker, registrar. The advising period for students planning to attend either summer or fall is May 4-7 and May 10, by appointment with academic advisers. Students planning to attend summer school should note the following information: Any student may register early who currently is enrolled in WCU courses and has no delinquent accounts with any University agency. Early registration materials will be available on the second floor of the UC May 3-4 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., including the master schedule of summer classes, registration procedure with schedule worksheet, permit to register forms, fee information sheet, and other special forms. These materials also will be available May 11 from 9 to 4 in the Grandroom, the date and hours of registration of summer school.

To save time and congestion, Hwy. 107 by-pass approved by Fred Barbour In a meeting of the North Carolina Board of Transportation last week, construction of the 107 Cullowhee bypass was tentatively scheduled to begin in 1977. The bypass will run from the end of the current four lane section of 107, near Locust Creek Road, to East LaPorte. The highway will be two lanes between East LaPorte and WCU, and four lanes for the remainder of the stretch. It is estimated that grading, construction, and right of way for the 5.9 mile bypass will cost $8.5 million. Right of way acquisition has been underway for a couple of months. The US Postal Service has contracted to purchase a site for a new post office, to be located on the bypass. Present owner of tht property is Ray Clark of Cullowhee. Attorneys for the Southern Postal Regional Headquarters in Memphis, Tenn., are expected to complete the land purchase soon. When site acquisition has been completed, Postmaster Barham said, the Postal Service will employ an architect to design the building. The lease the Post Office has on its present building in Cullowhee runs out in February 1978. However, it has not yet been determined if the new building will be completed by that date. In other construction projects, it is expected that bids will soon be let for the new administration building and the english music building. Doyle Dillard, WCU vice-chancellor of business affairs, said a tentative date of June 8 has been set for bid-letting on the english-music building, now being designed by architects Foy and Lee of Waynesville. The english-music building is to be located between Forsyth and the UC, in the present UC parking lot. Soil testing of the site is now being done, which accounts for the holes in the parking lot. To replace the TO PAGE 2 students are being asked to pay summer tuition and fees by mail.
