  • The^stern Carolinian 16 PAGES THURSDAY OCT. 26,1978 Vol. XLIV, No. 10 CULLOWHEE, Commisioner hopefuls want county manager [ Ferguson Commuters lose in lot switch The new parking lot behind the Cullowhee Baptist Church is now open and providing commuters with 285 additional parking spaces—but at a cost of 175 more convenient spaces in the center of campus. With the opening of the new lot came the closing of the parking facilities behind the University Center and along Warehouse Road to commuters. Those spaces will now be residence hall student parking to replace the spaces lost in the construction of the new administration building. Residents in Scott Dorm have been forced to park at the football stadium because of construction on the administration building. Traffic and Security said that this has caused an overflow at the football stadium lot and additional spaces were needed for residence hall students to make up for the spaces lost. Commuters will now have to park in the new lot and have a somewhat longer walk to their classes. No tickets will be given to commuters who park above the University Center or along Warehouse Road until next week, however warnings will be given out until Friday and residence hall students may begin parking in those spaces immediately. Traffic and Security could not say whether commuters will again be allowed to park in the spaces above the University Center after the completion of the new administration building but sources seemed to indicate that parking around the building will probably go to faculty and staff. This would mean that Warehouse Road and above the University Center will remain residence hall parking. So as the WCU campus moves down towards the new administration building, commuter parking moves in the opposite direction. PD nabs supply store bandits The University Book and Supply Store was broken into late Saturday night and WCU Traffic and Security has apprehended five juveniles in connection with that burglary and another Sunday morning at Camp Lab School. Approximately $2000 in sample class rings, calculators, clothing, jewelry and other items were taken from the book store with about half that amount recovered by Wednesday night. A camera, valued at $2000, was stolen from Camp Lab early Sunday morning and a cigarette machine in Stillwell building was also burglarized. The juveniles, all 16 years old and under, entered the book store about 6p.m. through a door connected with the WCU Little Theatre. They apparently entered Stillwell building through a window and made their way into a storage room connected with the book store. They used a steal pipe to break through a metal door leading into the store. Damage to the store was limited to the metal door valued at $150. The WCU Office of Traffic and Security said they had recovered about 16 or 17 rings and various other items and were still investigating the burglary. As of Wednesday five juveniles had been apprehended in connection with the two burglaries, three mainly responsible for the book store break in and the other two with the Camp Lab incident. Security said the five may have been together in the book store break-in and may have entered the store as many as three times. The book store burglary Saturday closely resembles a similiar incident last year and Security is investigating whether the same persons are responsible.

Ferguson, Hooper say job too much for one man byJ.M.TRINKS Staff Writer Republican Ray Ferguson and Democrat Wayne Hooper, candidates for chairman of the Board of Jackson County Commissioners, agree that a county manager is needed to assist in running the county government. "I believe the county government is now too big for one person to try to run," said Hooper. "The full-time commissioner needs some additional help besides the parttime commissioners who serve with him, and the manager should have equal say so in important decision making." Ferguson said he is for hiring a recent graduate with a degree in county-management—"someone who would be non-political and knows something about running the county and how to go about getting our share of federal money and the different grants." A county manager/administrator could be employed by the county commissioners at any time or by a vote of the people. Also, he could have almost full authority for county employment and policies, or limited powers, depending upon the decision made when one is elected. Both candidates agreed that settling the airport situtation will be among the first major goals after getting in office. Ferguson said he was against construction of the new facility from the beginning. "But I feel now that we have it it needs to be rebuilt so it could be operated. I think the FAA should go ahead and help with another grant to put it back like it should have been to start with. "The only way to rebuild it is to tear down all the way to the bottom everything that has been going down; not the runway but all the fields and bank slides. 1 would ,get engineers' advice on it first; that was the biggest problem to start with—there was no inspector on the job. •Turn to Page 5, Please Ins#W Coach Shrader resigns, page 6.
