  • TheX^stern Carolinian THURSDAY, JANUARY 13,1977 Vol. XLII, No. 28 CULLOWHEE NORTH CAROLINA Saturday authorized for makeup Saturday will be an official makeup day for classes missed last Monday. A memorandum was issued Wednesday to all department heads. In effect, the memo said: holding classes this Saturday provides a day which is authorized time for making up classes. However, if a professor and his class find an alternative way to make-up the class and they receive the approval of the department head, then it would be acceptable for the class to not meet this Saturday. In other words, if you don't want to go to class this Saturday, then you have two days to talk your professor out of making it an "official" school dav for that particular class... However, if you have to go, don't forget that you will be ttn Monday's class schedule. Snow decision is headache to administrators "Is it going to snow enough to cancel classes tomorrow?" That question may provide an interesting subject to speculate on, but to administrators and faculty who must make a decision, it is a headache. If those white flakes begin gracing the ground during the middle of the week, the chances for school being called off are slim. However, with weekend storm like the one that presented itself Sunday when a large number of students were away from campus, the chances for cancellation increase. The first action administrators take when it becomes apparent there will be some accumulation of snow is to gather information. The number of students on campus is a primary concern. A ballpark figure is sometimes obtained by checking the number of cars in student parking lots. Weather conditions are rounded up from the National Weather Service and the FAA. Highway conditions are monitored via Citizens Band radio. After this information has been assembled, the time element is the next determinate that is considered. Last Sunday, for example, a decision had to be reached in a short time if it was to be effective. With many roads open only to four-wheeler or vehicles with chains, and the Highway Patrol advising people to stay off roads, administrators decided late Sunday afternoon that cancelling Monday classes would prevent students who had not yet returned to Cullowhee from having to do Hang on tight! WCU student Tim Otten seems to be hanging on Tim was taking advantage of the snow and for dear life as he prepares for a hard landing after cancelled classes Monday.

(Photo bv Drew Clark) Expenditures regulations approved by Student Senate In pending action the senate failed to override a presidential veto of the SCAPE organization's constitution. A number of bills from last quarter were reported still in committee. These included a proposal to alternate meal plans between Dodson and Brown cafeterias. A bill to expedite the set up of the SGP stage in Reid Gym for concerts and another bill to change the commuter student meal plan. Leak repaired In its first meeting of the quarter, the Student Senate approved legislation that establishes guidelines for the SGA comptroller and regulates aspects of student appropriation expenditures. Included in the bill are regulations which the finance committee must follow when holding hearings on budget requests. They include such provisions as giving proper notice of the hearing and standardizing the hearing procedure. In addition to regulating student government action, it also placed requirements on the various clubs which receive funding. These include proper expenditure reports, authorization, and motor pool use. Violations of the bill's provisions could result in impoundment of a club's funds. Several new bills were introduced and sent to committees. Sent to the committee on academics was a resolution to require instructors to return test to students for their review. Men's and women's affairs committee received a bill to recommend abandonment of the room consolidation policy employed by the university's housing office. President Teague introduced a bill which attempts to provide some limited job security for student employees of the university. It was sent to the university services committee. A propane gas leak in the steam plant in Cullowhee rerouted incoming commuter traffic Tuesday morning for about an hour as the gas spilled over the road near Hunter Library. J. E. Wheatley, plant foreman, said that the gas was leaking from a bad relief valve, which is now temporarily repaired. Wheatley said that the whole gas system would be repiped next summer, according to previous plans. Wheatley said that the plant is now safe.
