December 7, 1978/the westerncarc inian/page s Looking back: The 'Carolinian' reviews the events of fall'78 Housing situation improving "The worst situation is up at Reynolds where we had to put three persons to a room, but we are right now in the process of making room changes," said Mrs. Hazel Bradsher, a secretary in the Housing Office. She said the problem in Reynolds would be alleviated as soon as space permits, but it depends oh the number of students who will be dropping out of WCU, and the Housing Office isn't sure how many or how soon that will be. Room changes are taking place now and it will be at least another week before the area coordinator (Bee Pfahler) will know just how many vacancies there will be and how much help it will be. Wike, state headed for court Jackson County Commissioner Bruce Wike has been ordered to appear in Haywood County Superior Court next Wednesday "to show why he should not be held in contempt of Court for failure to comply with the terms of that certain Order signed by this Court on October 6, 1978." 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 hegun. 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. Beer in Sylva? A referendum for the sale of beer in the Town of Sylva will be held November 7 during the general election. The right to petition for the referendum was issued bv the Jackson County Board of Elections on June 1 to" Dan Stephens of Sylva. About 300 of the 852 registered voters in the town signed the petition—171 signatures or 20 percent of the voters were needed to place the 'referendum on the ballot. Yes Virginia. m • by AL LAGANO News Editor No Virginia there is not a Santa Claus, but there will be beer in Sylva and maybe in time for Christmas. The town of Sylva voted overwhelmingly in favor of malt beverage (beer!) sales and Democrats made a clean sweep of all Jackson County offices in Tuesday's general election. The malt beverage referendum passed by a 363 to 251 margin. Church groups had been campaigning vigoriously against the proposal. n' sniff? These freshmen are brandishing their first trophies of their college careers after having gotten the first real taste of life at Western Carolina In the year's first "jock raid1' Monday Sylva Dry A severe water shortage in western North Cirolina 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 1 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 beec closed two days early for fall break and the break wfl extend to next Wednesday instead of Monday becausa 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. But not WCU 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." By a roll-call vote the Senate defeated SR #734. an act sponsored by Sen. Tim Sikes and Vice President Cates to establish a campus-wide toga party November 18. night at Reynolds, Albright-Benton and Harrill. The raid reportedly lasted from 10:30 p.m. until after midnight. Scratch *n' sniff? Sho' nuff. (photo by E.S. McDaniel]. the weekend of the WCU-Appalachian game. It had received an unfavorable report from the Committee on University Services and several senators referred to it as "a waste of time." New senators were not allowed to vote on this resolution. . Some new senators expressed an interest in Camp Shelton, a facility the university owns on Lake Glenville (or Lake Thorpe). President Wanda Nelson said it has not been used for about four years because it is in a run-down condition and the university "does not see using fees for upgrading it as being feasible." She said SGA presented an upgrading plan for use by the student body to the administration this summer, but it was not approved. Looking... ... way back TEN YEARS AGO IN THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN WCU students had the opportunity to vote in a mock presidential election sponsored by Delta Zeta sorority. In the contest, Richard Nixon got 596 votes, or 62 percent, over Hubert Humphrey with 221, or 23 percent. Construction on the high-rise women's dormitory at WCU was halted 55 days ago when some under- strength concrete was discovered, but may soon continue at full pace. Work on the $2,252,000 nine story structure was about 55 percent complete when work was halted in September. The 800 person dorm will be the largest building on campus. 30 YEARS AGO IN THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN President W.E. Bird has returned from a trip to Raleigh to defend his budget requests submitted to the budget director and the advisory budget committee. Mr. Bird requested a total of $2,946,000. This includes the large science-classroom building at a cost of $1,250,000, a library building for $630,000 two new dormitories at $395,000 each, and other smaller improvements. Mr. Bird said with a complete college plant the school could further their efforts in training young men and women for better teaching, better homemaking, and better citizenship. The Catamounts of Western Carolina broke back into the win column Saturday night by defeating the Indians of Newberry College, from Newberry, SC 12-7.
