Let there be light Work is expected to begin in mid-April on a $175,000 lighting and electrical project at WCU, according to Jim Culp, director of the university physical plant. Most of the work will involve installation of new street lighting on Central Drive between the post office and Harrill residence hall and on Camp Lab road between Scott Hall and the bridge over Cullowhee Creek. The lighting system will be high-pressure, sodium vapor on aluminum poles, identical to the system on Central and University drives. Work on underground circuits already installed at other locations on campus also is included in the project. Bids on the project opened March 6 exceeded funds available, requiring modification of original plans. Contracts are being awarded and work is expected to be completed by mid-September. Seale to speak Bobby Seale, who received world-wide attention in the late Sixties as co-founder of the Black Panther Party and co-defendant in the Chicago Seven trial, will speak at WCU April 19. Sponsored by the Student Association for Government and Legal Affairs, Seale will speak in the auditorium of Forsyth Building at 7:30 p.m. Born in Dallas, Texas, in 1936, Seale grew up in Oakland, Calif., where he worked as a draftsman, carpenter, mechanic, jazz drummer, and sheet metal worker. In 1963, Seale became a member of the Revolutionary Action Movement and his career as a community organizer began. He was organizer of one of the first Black Student Unions at Merritt College in Oakland in 1965. He and Huey P. Newton met and together formed the Black Panther Party in 1966. In 1969, as a defendant in the Chicago Seven conspiracy, Seale was ordered gagged and chained after repeated courtroom outbursts. Seale ran for mayor unsuccessfully in Oakland in 1973 and has been working on an autobiography since 1974. Seale is now director of Advocates Scene, a national lobby group representing poor, black and minority people in the U.S., a non-profit educational research organization to reduce violent assaults and homicides. Admission is free to the public. Warren elected WCU junior Steve Warren has been elected governor of the North Carolina Student Legislature by members attending the organization's statewide Annual Session held in Raleigh last week. Warren, who chaired the WCU delegation, will serve a one-year term. A native of Canton and 1976 graduate of Pisgah High, Warren is majoring in economics at WCU. He has served as president of College Democrats, a member of the Student Association for Government and Legal Affairs, and is a member of the Marshals Club. He has also served as a member of the dean's student advisory council. The North Carolina Student Legislature is patterned after the state legislature of North Carolina and operates under the same format and rules structure. It is the oldest student organization of its kind in the U.S. and was chartered in 1937. Since that time, more than 40 percent of legislation passed by the student group has later been passed into law by the state legislature. "My platform stressed giving the organization back to the individual members," said Warren. "I think the NCSL has been top-heavy over the past few years. Also, I hope to continue our excellent record of presenting findings of our studies to the legislature." it Steve Warren SECT Needs Your Help The Western Carolina Student Emergency Care Team (SECT) is a volunteer ambulance service. The SECT is run totally by students, 24 hours a day, seven days a week during regular and summer school sessions. Currently we have four permanent members and one trainee, and we are hoping to grow. SECT desperately needs volunteers. The organization is open to all full or part-time students who are interested and have either their North Carolina Emergency Medical Technician or North Carolina Ambulance Attendant certification. If you are interested come to our crew meeting tonight at 6 p.m. in Moore Building room 1. Or call Chief Elliot Rich at 4099.
