  • The\vfestern Carolinian 16 PAGES THURSDAY APRIL 20, 1978 Vol. XLIII, No. 29 CULLOWHEE, N.C. Voter victory County board given guidelines Wowee! It's spring and things are busting out all place—and we're not just talking about flower plant leaves. Junior Sheila Mi ice won the Sommers look-alike contest conducted by Rod Hampton in front of Scott last Thursday. 7 for a story and two more contest-winning Somebody tell Kod that a picture's worth a words. over the buds and Suzanne WWCU's See page beauties, thousand by DAVID JACKSON Editor-in-Chief A surprising and decisive victory for the students of WCU was announced last night by Raleigh attorney George Kaneklides. The state Board of Elections has adopted a formal motion which provides extensive fuidelines for future voter registration procedure in ackson County. The guidelines in the form of a 30-page report to County Attorney C. W. "Zeke" Sossomon, wilt affect not only student voter registration procedure, but also specifies procedures for registering all voters. "They can't go to the bathroom without following this thing," Kaneklides said after reviewing the board's findings. "Somebody from West Germany could follow these instructions, they're so simple." Among the provisions of the board's guidelines are: •a provision for duplicate records to be kept, •rules concerning office hours, and •a definition of "transients." "The state board unanimously, heartily recommends and energetically commends the Jackson County Board of Elections to follow the new guideline," according to Kaneklides. Ihe guidelines also state that any form used to determine domicile must be given to all applicants or at least to all transients, but not to students only. The state board also stressed the elimination of any possible discrimination due to political party preference. In issuing the guidelines to Jackson County, the state board has effectively set up a test situation for future implementation of standardized procedures statewide. The state board will monitor the actions of the Jackson County officials to determine what can be done to alleviate problems in other counties. SGA Vice President Phil Cates said. "Student Government this summer will appoint a special committee to observe as a watendoy service the implementation of these new criterion and policies, and we'll jump on them if they go wrong." "The new committee will work with the Jackson County Board to organize a student voter registration program for August of this year," Cates said. Outgoing SGA President Patrick Murphy called the recent development "the culmination of this year's work," and former SGA Vice President Gary Brown said. "Ihe diligence of a good number of students has really paid off. ' "Countless hours of work by unheard of people have helped alleviate problems faced by students registering lo vote hire in Jackson County," Brown continued. He also expressed appreciation for the services of attorney George Kaneklides in Raleigh. WCU construction tops $7 million Bulldozers, workmen grind on and on and on The sounds of college are pretty much the same from campus to campus—snatches of lectures droning out through open windows, someone playing a flute off in the distance, and the laughs and calls of young people in high spirits. But WCU has added to these the roar of bulldozers, as construction crews toil to complete more than $7 million worth of capital improvements of the campus. Largest of the dozen projects now under way or set to begin is the five-story administration building- Mountain Heritage Center now taking shape on the west edge of the campus. Giant cranes are installing white pre-cast concrete forms on the exterior of the $3,356,215 structure, now about 35 percent complete. Scheduled to be finished early in 1979, the building will stand at the new entrance to the campus. Its 72,500 square feet will house virtually all of the university's administrative offices except for the housing office, computer center, and engineer's offices. In addition, it will provide a home for the WCU Mountian Heritage Center, a facility dedicated to collecting, preserving, studying and displaying elements of the Southern Appalachian culture and history. The 13,000-square-foot center on the building's ground floor will include museum and exhibit areas, a 92-seat theater, and research and seminar areas. An access road linking the air-conditioned structure to the rest of the campus will be in place and ready for traffic December 10. The access road also will connect with the new four-lane highway from Sylva now scheduled for completion Nevember 1. 1980. The building's architect is Odell Associates Inc. of Charlotte. General contractor is Buncombe Construction Co. of Asheville. Another major construction project very much in evidence is a new Music-English Building, a classroom building near the University Center. The Music-English Building, now more than 90 per cent complete, will be ready for occupancy this summer. Its 72.500-square-foot area, distributed over four floors, will contain 13 classrooms and some 55 facultv offices. Special features fo the building include a 420-seat recital hall and rehearsal rooms for band and chorus, all with up-to-date recording facilities, 26 sound-proof modules for individual practice, an electronic piano practice laboratory, a music education laboratory, a music reference room containing both scores and recordings for use by students, and office-studios for faculty members of the department of music. Bi ilt at a cost of $2,530,000, the air-conditioned facility will have double sheet-rock walls and floors of vinyl asbestos tile and carpeting. The building is designed to meet all specifications for use by handicapped persons, and the plans call for outside seating and special effect lighting on the east side of the structure. The building's completion will bring the music department faculty, now dispersed in three other buildings, together under the same roof. Architect for the project is Foy and Lee of Waynesville. and the general contractor is Mid-South Construction Co. of Dunn. New construction is not the only kind of work going on at WCU. A $744,000 renovation of Moore Hall, the university's second-oldest building, will be finished next month. When the building is occupied in June, it will mark the first time since its inception that the School of Nursing and Health Sciences will have all its facilities in one place. Built as a dormitory in 1924, Moore Hall also served as WCU's only dining hall from 1930 until 1960. The renovation included all-new heating, plumbing, and electrical services, a new roof and gutters, new floors, a floating drop ceiling, and installation of structural steel reinforcements. Other improvements include a new entrance ramp and an elevator designed to make the building accessible to handicapped persons. The first and second floors of the building have been completely converted to provide classrooms, labor- Turn to Page 4, please The installation of new conduit for an improved campus telephone system at WCU involved digging up much of Central Drive on the campus. The work required considerable re-routing of traffic and resulted in some delays to drivers. When around September 1, the new system will offer several advantages over the old, including telephone service in all residence hall rooms and a tie-in with the State Telephone Network. Here workmen prepare to bury sections of plastic conduit under the road out front of Bird Administration Building.
