  • The^ster n Carolinian THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1977 Vol. XLII, No. 45 CULLOWHEE, N.C. Candidates air views at Carolinian forum by A.E.BROWN JR. Interim Editor SGA presidential candidates Nancy Hope and Patrick Murphy and vice-presidential candidates Gary Brown and Al Lagano spoke before a crowd of about 30 people at the Western Carolinian forum last night in the UC Catamount room. Here is what the candidates projected as being their so-called platforms: NANCY HOPE-PRESIDENT Hope is a year veteran of the Student Senate and serves on the rules committee. She called herself "an outsider" who became interested in SGA after attending a Senate meeting last year and being taken aback at the proceedings. She is a senior history and political science major. She said she wanted to be president because she wanted to bring into SGA "an outsider's view," and a stress on the functioning of the Senate relative to other SGA branches. She said that she was not a "student government type." She has found that she was capable of great response to students needs and wants. Hope asserted that students don't have faith in SGA because they are largely ignorant of its functions. To solve this apparant problem she proposes to publish SGA activities through SGA offices and by creating a newsworthi- ness which will attract Western Carolinian coverage and editorials, both pro and con. Hope said that she also favored having Senators set up formal or informal office hours to be available to their constituency because she said she thought contact was lost after the elections. Among her other stands are the setting up of a uniform cafeteria style student evaluation of faculty and making the results available in department offices to students; the ending of collective assessment of dorm damages, or at least changing it from an automatic procedure to one that would allow students to be given the right to a hearing; working with the administration to effect coed housing in Albright-Benton in the foreseeable future and moving the displaced men into the first three floors of Scott; providing three concerts per semester plus the annual bluegrass festival traditionally held in the Spring; keeping the current general education requirements system; and "opening SGA back up to students, and picking the best people for the job despite their past relative inexperience in SGA." PATRICK MURPHY—PRESIDENT Murphy is a political science-history major who has been in SGA for the past two years. He has served in the judicial branch as a supreme court justice, the legislative as Senate parliamentarian, and in the executive as vice-presidential assistant. He said he thought the major problem facing SGA was communication with the students, a situation which he said he has been trying to improve in his past SGA involvement. He said he thought the efficiency of SGA has improved greatly a d would make further improvements in efficiency next year, if elected. He said he thought SGA had been going about the business of general education "in the wrong way. General education should not be regarded as an end in itself. Al LAGANO Raising it or lowering it should not be the primary consideration here, but I think that results from studies of our general education system should effect some change in general education requirements not necessarily raise or lower it." He said he does favor allowing schools and departments to have more leeway in general education GARY BROWN requirements, and keeping the core curriculum for all schools and departments. He said that through his past contacts with administrators he would be able to work with them and the Board of Trustees. Murphv said he believes he is capable of handling relationships with administrators Continued on page 2 Ashe Settlement property deluged Airport causes drainage problems by FRED BARBOUR Staff Writer Drainage problems at Jackson County's 2.6 million dollar airport, completed last November, continue to plague two Ashe Settlement residents "every time it rains," according to one resident, Mrs. Lenoir Stack. County Commissioner Bruce Wike, in a phone interview yesterday, told the Carolinian "We are perfectly willing and want to do what is needed to correct the problem." Both Mrs. Stack and her neighbor, Jimmy Ammons, have land with streams draining off Berry Ridge, site of the airport, flowing through it. Before airport construction began, these streams were small spring branches, often drying up almost completely in the summer. After clearing and grading operations began on the ridge, the streams on a number of occasions have swollen with heavy rains, bringing silt and boulders into these resident's yards. In July. 1975, a mudslide swept against Ar house, with large chunks of "shot rock" (pieces of solid rock that has been blasted) knocking into the foundation of his house. During early phases of construction, streams of water carrying heavy amounts of sediment swept within fifty teetof both Ammons' and Mrs. Stack's houses. "We've seen it rain harder and longer but we'ye never had any problems with flooding before the airport," Ammons told the Carolinian in 1975. After the mudslide incident in 1975, drainage water has kept itself more closely within the confines of the streambeds, and there has been less sediment in the water. This is at least partly attributable to a line of brush barriers that were constructed to break the velocity of water draining off the ridge. But, Mrs. Stack and Ammons are far from being satisfied. Mrs. Stack's well was contaminated by airport runoff. Ammons has filed a $100,000 dollar suit against the country. An environmental impact statement made by the county before the airport project began said that if the water supply of anybody was affected, the county would drill a well to replace the affected water supply. In an effort to comply with this statement, the county has drilled a well for Mrs. Stack, which has cost in excess of $2,000, according to Wike. Because of bad weather, connection of the well to Mrs. Stack's house has not yet been completed. Wike said the connection would be made as soon as weather permitted. Mrs. Stack, who says she has been hauling drinking water from Webster for the last two months, hopes the weather improves soon. Even after Mrs. Stack's water supply problem is alleviated, she will still have a stream to contend with which flows about two hundred feet form her house. The stream, which flows through a pasture, has overflowed several rimes after heavy rains, washing away grazing land and knocking down fences, allowing livestock to escape. Wike is convinced that the rate of runoff is causing problems, not the volume of water draining off the ridge. Continued on Page 2
