■\ The^stern Carolinian 16 PAGES THURSDAY NOV. 2,1978 Vol.XLIV, No. 11 CULLOWHEE, N.C. Senate in session for 2Vfe hours Funding cuts sharply into clubs by J.M. Trinks Senate Reporter Drastic cuts in the funding of clubs and organizations was the center of much controversy at the weekly Senate meeting Monday night. Over 80 persons attended the two and one half hour meeting, including about 20 members of the Organization of Ebony Students. Funding ranged from $50 for the Economic Affairs Club to $20,000 for the Western Carolinian. (The Nomad, WCU's literary magazine, received no funding from the SGA. However, the Nomad editors were advised by Comptroller Roger McKinney to reapply for funding from appropriations that he expects I 1978-79 SGA Appropriations American Home Economics Association $170 Art Students League 200 Biology Club 100 Organization of Ebony Students 375 Catamount Yearbook 20,000 Cherokee Native American Students 100 English Club 100 Geology Club 140 Outing Club 235 Miscellaneous Joyner 400 Music Educators National Conference 150 National Art Education Association 150 Phi Beta Lambda 680 SAGLA 2,000 Cecil W.

Wike is to represent the "Defendant Jackson County" for failure to begin construction on the home of Jimmy and Virginia Ammons which was damaged by runoff from the Jackson County Airport. Jackson County was ordered on June 26 to enter into a contract with builder Richard Wright "with all possible haste." Wike is to explain why construction has not begun. The Ammons were forced from their house 39 months ago. Wike has been afforded two separate hearings on the construction of the Ammons home, contracted at $65,000, and Jackson County still has not taken action on the problem. to receive in the spring.) McKinney said SGA is obligated by a senate resolution to appropriate money each year to the Miscellaneous Joyner account for repairs and maintenance to the several offices in Joyner Building. This year $400 was allotted for that purpose. Commenting on the budget reductions for the Student Association for Government and Legal Affairs, President Doug Beam said he "would laugh if it weren't so tragic." He said the $2,000 appropriated to SAGLA was the lowest amount it has ever received. (Last year SAGLA received $6,760.) It originally requested $13,125 for this year. "It looks rather interesting that we were cut by that much. I surely hope that we are not the victims of petty campus politics," Beam said. "All I can say is that SAGLA will persevere; we've got too much going for us to let such a cut in our budget stop us. We're going to invite some people out and see how effectively we can spend two thousand dollars," he said. SGA President Wanda Nelson asked Beam to elaborate on his statement of "petty politics." He said he was not directing it to any particular individual, but "1 think that is what we have here. In general that's the feeling on campus." Part of SAGLA's appropriated funds would have gone toward expenses of speakers it was going to bring to the campus. . Beam charged that efforts had been made by some SAGLA members and another SGA official present at the senate meeting to get former President Gerald Ford to speak here next semester. He also charged that SGA had been trvine to cosoonsor the former President's appearance here along with SAGLA." He said Vice President Cates, who had originally instigated the idea of Ford coming here, would not give him the necessary information regarding it. Beam said "we were under the impression that SGA was going to sponsor the former president with us. However, no money was offered by the student government. I'm saying that if the student government's going to cosponsor it, let's see some money from SGA." When President Nelson asked Beam to clarify whether he had received an official statement from the government obligating it to any form of voluntary help concerning Ford, Beam said the only information he had was received at the initial SAGLA meeting from Cates while Beam was a member of the executive committee. insidetoday He was supposed to have been notified concerning speaker selections; however, selections had been made during the summer. Now with the slash of funds Beam said all speakers would probably be cancelled unless the club can raise extra monies. Sylva refuses WCU offer to sell water Chancellor H.F. Robinson quashed a rumor that the university would have to supply water to the Sylva area from the university purification plant, even though he said the university has "a tremendous capacity for water" and the university has offered to sell Sylva water. The chancellor pointed out that the university has been supplying C.J. Harris Community Hospital with water shipped in by the National Guard because the hospital requires purer water than that being used in Sylva and Jackson County presently. Mr. James W. Culp, director of the maintenance department at WCU, said the university "made an offer (to sell water to Sylva) several weeks ago and they didn't take up on the offer... I think one of the main problems is there is no way to move it because there is no pipeline from Cullowhee to Sylva." Sylva Mayor T.C. Lewis said the reason that the town had not taken the school's offer was" because the town is not in any major trouble although they have had to pull water from Fisher Creek. "We (Sylva) could hold out for two or three more weeks. The river is still flowing like it was 10 days ago... We'll continue on the boil system indefinitely unitl the water situation improves," Mayor Lewis said. The mayor also rejected any possibilities that the city would need any water from the university, saying that he didn't "...see a need for it in the city." A considerable amount of rainfall will have to occur before the county would be albe to go off the boil system as they would have to flush the water lines, wasting a great deal of water. The water shortage continues for Sylva and Jackson County, but at WCU the Tuckasegee River flows on and on and on and... •Turn to Page 3, Please The seven finalists for Homecoming Queen were selected Monday—see pages 8 and 9.
