  • % The^stern Cardinian 16 PAGES THURSDAY OCT. 19,1978 Vol. XLIV, No. 9 CULLOWHEE, N.C. Attendance policy installed for justices Parking meters cause Senate furor byJ.M.TRINKS Senate Reporter The Senate Monday heard an act requesting the administration to institute a major in philosophy. Authored by Senator Tim Sikes and cosponsored by Senators Myers, Hooker and Street, SR 745 reveals a- significant student interest in such a major and would require no additional costs of faculty. The bill has been referred to the Committee on Academic Affairs. In other business the Senate: •established mandatory attendance policies for court justices. In the past there have not been enough justices present to hold court, resulting in a buildup of a backlog of cases. Now all court justices are required to attend their appropriate court session or have an excused absence approved by the chief justice or the attorney general. Two or more unexcused absences per semester will result in that justice's dismissal and a replacement will be appointed. This bill became effective immediately upon passage by the Senate. •reformed the Residence Hall Hearing Board. It now consists of ten justices with five as a quorum. The RHHB will meet in a scheduled circuit once every month in each dormitory and has the final decision on all matters concerning collective assessment unless appealed by the housing office or a student to the student superior court. •referred to the Committee on the Advancement of the University a bill recommending that dinner be served on the UC lawn on the day of spring elections. In the past, social events on the UC lawn have succeeded in drawing large numbers of students while elections yielded about a 20 percent turnout of voters. It is hoped that this will encourage more students to go to the polls. •approved a motion allowing the Committee on University Services to table definitely until the end of this semester an act requesting the removal of parking meters from campus. Senator Linda Street said "this resolution has caused quite a bit of a stir up with people in the office of Traffic and Security and the Traffic and Safety Commission." Ms. Street also said she has heard over a half dozen versions of where and how the meters were bought, why they were erected on campus, and how Traffic and Local water shortage severe A severe water shortage in western North Carolina has made its way to Sylva but WCU appears to be in no danger of a water shortage. Sylva has begun pumping water out of Fisher Creek into its old reservoir and into the towns water supply because the towns six million gallon reservoir is only about one-third full. Although the water out of Fisher Creek meets state water standards, county officials are still asking Sylva residents to boil all drinking water l to 5 minutes as a safety measure. Sources say all ice machines, water fountains and other public water facilities may be turned off. In other parts of the state, Brevard College has been closed two days early for fall break and the break will extend to next Wednesday instead of Monday because of a water shortage there. Brevard has began pumping for more water but the wells will have to be inspected before they can be used. Appalachian State University's fall break may have saved a critical condition in Boone by enabling the town to use the University water supply while the school was closed. The city of Asheville has enough water for about 45 to 50 days and other cities in western North Carolina are beginning to take drastic action to conserve water. Security went about finding out whether or not students approved of the meters. •approved by consent the following clubs and organizations as having approved constitutions and acceptable now for financing: Marketing and Mange- ment Club, North Carolina Student Legislature, American Home Economics Association, Cherokee Native American Student Organization, The English Club, The Nomad, Cecil W. Mann Psychology Club, Social Services Organization, The Biology Club and the Industrial Education and Technology Club. President Wanda Nelson announced that Patti Ann Loy and Jane W. Milner are the recipients of the annual Refrigerator Trust Fund Scholarships. The scholarships are $500 each ($250 per semester). The Senate's next meeting will be at 5:30 p.m. October 26 (Thursday) following mid-term break next week. According to Vice President Cates the budget will be presented then. In last week's business the Senate: •Tum to Page 13, Please Ratcliff, Gudger disagree on $18.7 billion tax cut The following article appears in full from Wednesday's edition of the Asheville Citizen Times with their full permission. Incumbent Democrat Lamar Gudger and Republican challenger R. Curtis Ratcliff, candidates for the 11th District Congressional seats, found much to agree about Tuesday during appearances before the Asheville Civitan Club, but they also disagreed on several issues. Both candidates strongly endorsed the need for a balanced federal budget, limitations on federal spendings, and opposed higher taxes and both opposed area additions to the wilderness system. In referring to once-heated issues, both said they opposed the Panama Canal treaties and amnesty for Vietnam era draft dodgers. The program was held in Trinity Episcopal Church parish hall. Senator Jesse Helms will address the Civitans next Tuesday at the regular meeting place, Central United Methodist Church. Ratcliff, chairman of the Buncombe County Board of Commissions since 1972, said the Kemp-Roth approach to tax cutting that never reached a vote in Congress was superior to the $18.7 billion tax cut bill adopted in the weekend adjournment rush. Ratcliff termed the approved bill "a one-shot cut" rather than Kemp-Roth three-year round of cutbacks. Terming deficit spending the root cause of inflation, Ratcliff said, "The president is partly to blame for not using his veto more, but the real problem rests with Congress for approving the spending programs." Ratcliff said he hopes the public will get to vote oh a constitutional amendment to require a balanced budget in non-emergency times, crediting Gudger with sponsoring the amendment proposal. Ratcliff said the Democratic majorities in Washington need to be removed because they have supported amnesty, the Panama Canal "give-away" and foreign aid. "I think their priorities are all mixed-up," Ratcliff said. Stating the opposition to the Rare IJ proposals, Ratcliff said additional wilderness would reduce jobs in timber-dependent Western North Carolina counties and said even the studies of that and the Mount Mitchell national park idea wasted tax money. Of the Proposition 13 movement which limited tax powers in California, Ratcliff said: "I think it's real and could lead to a nationwide effort to reduce taxes and spendings and make payments on the national debt." Debt payments alone, Ratcliff said, equal all of the income tax paid by individuals. "If Congress had been more conservative," he said, "we wouldn't be spending 42 cents of every dollar to support some form of government." Gudger, attorney and former state representative and senator, defined himself as a fiscal conservative who favors free enterprise and a strong national defense. Since entering Congress two years ago, Gudger said, he has thought newsletters, questionnaires, seminars, and talks to groups kept the public informed on isssues before Congress and his viewpoint on those issues. Gudger said he voted against any pay increase for members of Congress, and opposed a 1 percent budget cut bill because he supported a 5 percent cut. He said the visit of President and Mrs. Carter to Asheville, so far as it affected his campaign, was paid for from the Gudger campaign fund and not by tax •Tum to Page 13, Please Inside today...
