  • DECEMBER 1.1977/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN /PAGE 3 UNC radio goes off the air The following article appeared in the Daily Tar He« dealing with the troubles their radio station WXYC left the air for more than an hour Thursday morning as the result of a staff decision to protest the resignation of Station Manager Don Moore. Moore resigned Wednesday night when the WXYC controlling board. Student Education Broadcasting Inc. (SEB). refused to fire SEB Chairperson Mike Hyman and Treasurer David Madison from the board. WXYC staff members Derek Frost. Judith Willinger and Peggy Montgomery signed the station off the air at 9:30 a.m. without the consent of Paui Matthews, interim station manager. Four members of the student radio station's managerial staff also turned in their resignations Thursday: Program Director Robert Walton. Music Director David Weaver. Traffic Director Debbie Chamberlain and Public Affairs and Service Director Susan Burncy. Moore had fired Matthews from his position as chief engineer of WXYC Nov. 14. Following Moore's resignation, Matthews was appointed interim station manager. Moore's reasons for dismissing Matthews included Matthews' failure to comply wilh requests to order equipment for the station, his attitudes towards staff members and the removal of a letter of commendation to the station without Moore's approval. "We would like to see the reinstatement of the old management." said Erost. who signed WXYC off the air Thursday. "This would necessitate the removal of interim Station Manager Matthews and Operations Manager David Penze." Rut Moore defended Matthews, saying SEB has given him a difficult task. "Paul's on the defensive." Moore said. "He's been given a job to do and he wants to do it well, and the staff's attitude has put him on the defensive." JIM GOLDSTON PHOTO Thursday afternoon in lo protest further ol Madison and "Right now mv concern is to keep us on lhe air and keep people filling their shifts." Matthews said. "We need lo try to repair ruined images and past attitudes." Matthews also said he is concerned about WXYC's budget requests. "It was brought up that there possibly was some padding in a few of the items on the original budget," Matthews said. "Some ol these things on lhe budget could have been shot down because ot what was said at the board meeting and with the presence ot several members ot the board being members of the CCiC (Campus Governing Council)." he said. Other WXYC staff members r to discuss a strike against the si the new management and the i Hy man. Stall members, however, decided to draw up a petition to be presented to SEB asking for the removal of Madison and Hvnian. "If Madison and Hvnian remain, there will probably have lo he a new stall because this one won't work with them." Moore said. "It was bad enough finding a staff when Mike (Hyman) and David (Madison) resigned." he said. "I was nol about to go through il again. 1 can't work with Madison and Hvnian now , and I won't be able to in the future." Moore said another reason for his resignation was that he could not comply with SEB's directive to fire David Speigner. WXYC record representative. SEB directed Moore to dismiss Speigner because of reported conflicts wilhin the station in which Speigner was involved. Speigner was dismissed Thursday by Moore's replacement. Matthews, in compliance with the board's directive. SEB did not discuss WXYC's budget at the meeting Wednesday. Lhe CCiC Finance Committee cannot take action on the budget until it is approved by SEB. Matthews said his main concern is keeping WXYC on Steve Mizerak. winner of four Pocket Billiard Championships as well as many other championships, visited WCU the week before thanksgiving. He demonstrated billiard fundamentals, trick shots and also e personal instructions. Diary paintings highlight one man show by STEWART FORTUNE Contributing Writer Now through Dec. 9 the art gallery in Belk building contains an exhibition of Diarypaintings and documents by Tommy Mew, professor of art and department chairman at Berry College. As an artist. Mew's reputation is international, and he has a record of exhibits and one-man-shows that is as impressive as his work is dramatic. GEN. OMAR TORRIJOS The thirty w orks being show n represent a conceptual departure into the artist's view of his life and surroundings. Mew combines colors and shapes with small pictures and short, written statements into a single visual dimension. Once the viewer has overcome the stark appearance of the documents he can begin to explore the moment, brief and precise, that the artist has captured. The iconographic statements play an important part in the overall image being presented. Mew uses the symbol "X" repeatedly, and in several different contexts. His symbolic references are. at times, hidden by the pictures that are included, and add a hint of Canal debate Retired Army Major General George L. Mabry said Monday night that he opposes the recently negotiated Panama Canal treaties only because they do not allow the United States to defend the canal unilaterally in times of crises after the year 2000. Retired Army Lt. General Welborn G. Dolvin said that the best way to defend the canal from Panamanian dissent, and the ensuing higher potential of foreign intervention, is the immediate passage of the treaties. Gen. Mabry, who served ten years in the Panama Canal Zone, said the verbal clarification made between President Carter and the Panamanian chief. Brig. Gen Omar Torrijos. of the U.S.'s right to defend the neutrality of the canal after 2000 was not sufficient. "Any treaty must contain a statement that the United States will retain the right to occupy specific canal operating facilities and military bases in the canal area so that the United States can defend the canal by itself at any time it is deemed necessary by the United States." Mabry said. Dolvin. the deputy negotiator of the Panama Canal treaties, said that "a friendly Panama has a meaningful stake" in the canal's future, and that to re-open the treaty negotiations to clarify a few fine points would not be in the best interest of defending the canal. The two met in a debate sponsored by the University Forum for Contemporary Issues in Western Carolina University's Hoey Auditorium before a crowd of approximately 400 people. mystery to Tommy Mew. the person. To call this exhibit a collage would be a misrepresentation, but there is a puzzle-like structure that runs throughout. Each piece stands on its own. yet in the context of the rest of the work it is just a morsel of the overview presented. The works are busy—playing off each other and themselves—and still they give light to Mew's insight and talent. Hard edged, coldly personal, and in some cases overpowering by their sheer size. Mew's documents and diarypaintings are a unique look at personal reality. Their depth is a very mental one. and while covering the prciod from 1975 to the present, they appear more advanced in both concept and execution than anything previously exhibited in the Art Gallery. Though there is a cohesiveness in style and format throughout, each image is individual and graphic. In fact, they're interesting. And while Tommy Mew's work isn't aimed at everyone's tastes, it should be seen. From 8 a.m. -4p.m.. let the viewer decide. Senate From Page 1 Another bill to enact a no smoking poli student senate was sponsored by Sen. Laganc ■y in the who said make the in the bill. "We should not tclf students smoke in classrooms if we are not willing to same sacrifices..." In Monday's meeting. Senators Tim Sikes. Richard Sullins. Joe Kerley and Tom McGuire sponsored a bill to install mail chutes in the male dormitories. Il passed unanimously. Sen. Wanda Nelson blasted this past week's Sports Illustrated article on Western Carolina (see editorial) that referred to the WCU-ASU game as the "Hillbilly Bowl." Sen. Nelson said. "I suggest that you read it and do what you deem necessary. As for me. I mav write a letter to Sports Illustrated. I don't think that the university here at Western Carolina, one of the major universities in the sixteen university system, should be run down in this fashion."
