MacDonnell says they're 'needed9 SEPTEMBER 14, 1978/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/PAGE 3 Meters rival 'car cage' absurdity byAL LAGANO News Editor Thev came as somewhat of a surprise to many students—and to most as an absurdity equal only to the "car cage" located next to the football stadium parking lot where angrv students venture in search of their missing vehicles. But those parking meters are here and here to stay and administrators are hoping they will solve the short-term parking problems in fromt of McKee, the University Book and Supply Store and Hunter Library. Thi' parking meters were approved last year along with the new traffic regulations. The new regulations wire ihe result of a university committee study completed two years ago on the parking problem on the WCIJ campus. According to Hugh MacDonnell, vice chancellor of business affairs, the meters were set up "in areas where we hail a number of complaints from persons PVA attorney visits WCU; talks to senate At its weekly Monday night meeting the SGA Senate was addressed by George Kaneklides. an attorney from Raleigh w ho is assisting the Promoter Voter Awareness efforts. . Kaneklides told the student senate they should pat themselves ami their predecessors on the hack lor having Ihe courage to take on the establishment in a fight for their voter rights. He said he and the SGA presidents and vice presidents "never dreamed how complicated and difficult it would he for students to assert their own rights to register and vote where they go to school—where your interests are, where you pay taxes and where officials make decisions everyday that effect your life." He asked why students should be subjected to stiffer standards of registration than university professors, researchers or someone in the tourism business. "They aren't given these questionaires or run arounds. Just because you say you're a student—especially a student at Western Carolina University—you are given a third degree." Kaneklides said that what started here a year ago is now indeed a state and regional concern. Oral arguments to change procedures to vote where students attend school will be heard this Friday at the state supreme court in Raleigh and he will represent the WCU student senate there. Vice President Phillip Cates was appreciative of the senate for their committment against student voter discrimination, claiming that "we are one of the last blatant areas of discrimination against individuals as students." In other business, the senate passed a bill to protect against over spending in its general fund and established an experimental financing program to find the best means by which SGA can expand its monetary resources. This will temporarily run until March 12, 1979. Stipends for assistant director of legal assistance and director of public information were revised. The assistant director will receive $225 per semester. An office of academic assistance with a director and assistant director to receive $225 and $112.50 per semester respectively was created. Executive appointments were approved: Luther Hollingsworth. director of legal assistance; Bonnie Blalock. assistant director of legal assistance; Cathy Bailey, public defender; Roger McKinney. comptroller: Duane McPherson. assistant comptroller; Elizabeth Shoaf. presidential assistant; Debbie Shew, presidential assistant II; Bill Jarrett. vice presidential assistant; Patty Whitson. executive secretary; Stephany Criss. senate secretary; Susan Tuttle, judicial secretary: and Mark Williams, attorney general. A motion was passed extending the deadline until next Monday for President Wanda Nelson's report on Student Government Productions and refrigerator leasing activities during the summer. The budget request is approximately $3,000 higher than last vear. needing short term parking, these areas included the McKee parking lot next to the Wachovia Bank, the spaces in front of the book store and the spaces in front of Hunter Library." MacDonnell said the parking meters were bought second hand at SSO each and should pay for themselves within a couple of yean, Ihe meters enable people lo park in a space 15 minutes tor five cents or 20 cents lor an hour. Ihe meters hopefully will provide an efficient ami less expensive vvav ol controlling the parking problem in those areas. MacDonnell said he felt the parking "*Ni>. ~ .^tWBteet meters were a more reasonable wav to solve the short term problems than tojusl ticket the cars Ihe WIT Office ol I raffle and Security said they have had no reports ot vandalism to thi- new parking meters despite rumors from various sources that vandalism had occurred. In other areas of the parking situtation. the Traffic ami Safety Committee is expected to meet in the near future to discuss the t\ pe ot parking that will b" allowed in front of Ihe new English and music building. Sources expect thai area will provide parking for both commuters and faculty and staff. BJJBJBJBMa daj Gary Crocker A reincarnated bull rider by LANE GARDNER Staff Writer "If I believed in reincarnation, I'd say I got killed riding bulls and came back as a food director." As funny as those words may sound, they're an accurate description of one man's life: Gary Crocker, director of auxiliary food services at WCU. For fifteen years. Gary Crocker worked and played at being a professional rodeo rider. No longer active in the sport, Crocker at 33 says, "My body got old before my mind did." During his rodeo days, Crocker tried every aspect of the sport. Bull riding and clowning, however, were his specialities. A sign of Crocker's expertise, he was voted the number one bull fighting clown in the Southeastern Rodeo Association. (SRA) in either 197] or 1972. Crocker, himself, doesn't recall which year it was. "1 don't remember things like that. It wasn't for any type of prestige." Rodeo clowning is not clowning as most people know it. Of course, amusing the crowds between events is one of the clown's duties. His primary function, however, is to protect the cowboy from the bull at all costs. Whethe,- it be with his skills or his mv n body, the clown must keep the bull from getting the downed cowboy. Crocker points out the "personal satisfaction" and "the little bit of money" one receives from rodeo clowning. It's also an ideal way to make people laugh. "Even if they laugh for only a minute, they're not crying." When Gary Crocker reminisces about his rodeo clowning days, he speaks only of his love for it. He playfully mentions an old rodeo adage: "A rodeo clown ain't nothing but a bull rider with his brains kicked out." Bull riding is Gary Crocker's other main rodeo event. It may be a physical sport, but Crocker maintains it's as much "brains over brawn. "You got a 135-160 pound cowboy with a three- pound brain trying to outsmart a ton of hamburger that will eat you." Crocker explains that bull riding is a judged event. There are two judges. Each one judges one side of the bull and cowboy. Scoring depends on the way the bull bucks and the difficulty involved in staying on. The cowboy is evaluated according to 1) his style. 2) how easy he makes it look to stay on, 3) how he stays in the middle of the hull's back, and 4) whether or not he spurs the bull. (Extra points are awarded for spurring the bull.) Here. Crocker emphasizes the strict rodeo association rules concerning harm to animals. He points out that a rider can be disqualified and fined for injuring an animal. "A stock contractor (individual who sponsors and runs a rodeo) is stricter about his animals than most people are about their children." Western's resident cowboy has done his rodeoing all over the country, He got his start at the Rocking K Ranch in his home town of Charlotte. The ranch is owned bv C.W. Kidd. a man Crocker greatly admires. "He's close to being a daddy to everybody." Once Gary got started in rodeo, he was hooked. "Mv daddy told me one time I was some kind of fool. I said I
