  • PAGE 2/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/JANUARY 12, 1978 Carolinian Newsbriefs Veteran news Veterans attending school full-time under the Gl Bill who are participating in the Veterans Administration work-study program will be paid the new minimum wage as of January 1, 1978. VA Administrator Max Cleland reminded veteran students interested in supplementing their GI Bill income that the agency's work-study program permits VA to pay for a maximum of 250 hours per semester. He said the GI Bill Improvement Act of 1977 authorizes VA to pay work-study students at the new minimum wage rate of $2.65 per hour after the beginning of the year. The VA Administrator said VA will pay, in advance, 40 per cent of the total work-study allowance. Jobs are available for VA-related work either on campus or at a VA installation. Priority for acceptance in the work-study program is given to veterans with service-connected disabilities. Financial need, motivation and the nature of the work are some of the additional criteria used for selection. Further information is available from campus veterans' counselors, veterans' service organization representatives, or at any VA office.

Inventory tax Governor Jim Hunt said Wednesday evening that the "state inventory tax is holding back the introduction of new business to North Carolina and should be restructured." Governor Hunt, a democrat, made that statement to delegates of the Governor's Conference on Economic Growth and Development, but added that he did not favor "any outright elimination of the inventory tax." The North Carolina manufacturer's inventory tax has been a major subject for complaint from new and old businesses within the state, and became a campaign issue in the 1976 gubernatorial race when Republican candidate David Flaherty proposed the total elimination of the tax. Then Lt. Gov. Hunt said he would not favor its elimination or any changes within its structuring. Hunt stated that the total removal of the controversial inventory tax would drain too much revenue from the North Carolina governmental coffers. Hunt also said, "I believe a well focused manufacturer's inventory tax relief can be a powerful development tool and still preserve the state's budget." Sierra Club meets The Great Smokies Chapter of the Sierra Club will meet next Thursday, January 19 at 6 p.m. in the Cherokee Room for a covered dish dinner. Mr. Dave Cone will talk on the Southern Appalachian Slope National Recreation area. Everyone is invited to attend. Bring a covered dish and join the crowd.

A reception will be held at 3 p.m. January 24th in the Chelsea Gallery. Engineers meet Some 30 members of the Blue Ridge chapter of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers attended that organization's regular monthly meeting, held Tuesday WCU. Dr. James E. Dooley, WCU vice chancellor for development and special services, welcomed the group to the campus at a dinner at the Top of the Stairs restaurant. The guests later toured the facilities of the WCU Department of Industrial Education and Technology. The program included a presentation on the Redi-Die system of tool and die design. The visit was hosted by the Department of Industrial Education and Technology and coordinated by Sam White, a member of SME and a member of the WCU faculty. Driver unhurt in hill area rollover Witnesses to the accident said it happened "in a flash," just like in the movies. What they were referring to was WCU student Alan Hardbarger's MGB roadster leaving the road, flipping, and landing upside down in the bushes below Joyner building. According to officials, Mr. Hardbarger left the Traffic and Security office Monday morning after a heated disagreement over a number of traffic citations. Driving west on Joyner Drive, Hardbarger was unable to negotiate the curve because of excessive speed. The MGB convertible left the road at a high rate of speed and flipped over, landing on its top,' crushing the windshield and part of the roof frame. The driver was not harmed. After an investigation of the scene Security Officer James W. Blackwell could find no sign of ice or snow on the drive, and Hardbarger received a citation for "reckless driving." Damages to Hardbarger's auto and university property have not yet been determined, but Traffic and Security secretary Darlene Wallace said they were considerable. A citation for reckless driving can carry a penalty of $20, with possible action against the offender in civil court.
