WHATXHA VvAfCWN'/ SR£P ?>?!?!? -TTia+ i^ ,n^viin«.(?rri£r-rVian -meT-v. -seri^se^" ° Staff members head for hurricane I probably would have never consented to it any other week, and It may take a lot to convince me to try something as outrageous as it again. But It was done and today's paper contains an upclose, on the scene, account of the destruction of Hurricane David, thanks to the marathon efforts of Photo Editor Rick McDaniel and News Editor Taylor Sisk. McDaniel and his camera, and Sisk and his pen, went galavanting up and down the coast of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia Tuesday and Wednesday in search of, or the aftermath of, Hurricane DavJd. There endeavor would last over 30 hours and take them from Wilmington to Charleston to Savannah and then back to Cullowhee in time to print their photos and set their copy for today's paper. That was the plan and they were successful In accomplishing that plan. Generally, we are not geared to send our reporters, all whom are students, across the state or states to cover news stories. But once in a while we get a little crazy and try to bring you something different. Sending two editors into a hurricane is about as crazy as you'll see us get. The story of how and why Taylor and Rick ended up in three states yesterday and Tuesday.began Tuesday afternoon. This week began as most newsweeks in Cullowhee—with us wondering what news we could find to fill these pages. We held a small editorial staff meeting Tuesday afternoon to discuss the possibilities for a photo centerspread. The only logical photo spread we could come up with seemed to be a football pictorial from last weeks WCU—ECU game. Having lost the game, few of us felt it would add much to the paper. Jokingly, someone said we should get some good hurricane pictures and Associate Editor Eddie Yandle's eyes got very large [that usually means he has an outlandish idea].

S- KKIOW W3AFIN6- vXHgKl^^eg'T-,-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-// " 'yMdaf-e, Captain ."/oo're boookme W\t aaeAbehc idea to send someone to photograph a hurricane, but after Taylor and Rick agreed to drive to Charleston, the idea suddenly became more intriguing. Taylor and Rick would leave Cullowhee and head for the North Carolina coast, arrive by 4 a.m., wait until daybreak for the storm which was due to hit Charleston early Wednesday morning, and photograph and interview anyone and anything they could find. If the storm did not make it to North Carolina, they would head south towards it. Our bid for a state car for this adventure fell through due to expense and the two decided to head for David in Rick's jeep. Rick arranged for Peggy Robertson, a staff photographer, to have a back-up photo centerspread ready in case the two did not return before the paper went to press. We began planning a back-up front page and we were ready to make arrangements to have the copy and photos wired back to Cullowhee in case tne iwo were irappeu'. Everthing appeared to be set. I was still a little skeptical about having my Photo Editor and News Editor head 400 miles into a hurricane and then travel another 100 miles along its path of destruction. It seemed a little risky to me. But off they went, cameras, pens and press cards, into the night and into a storm which had already killed over 1,200 people [and I know there is not a cautious bone in either of their bodies). They passed through David in the middle of the night and arrived in Charleston early in the morning just after the hurricane. They by-passed the North Carolina coast as had the hurricane. After photograph ing the aftermath in Charleston they headed south to Savannah to see what damage was done in that area. I received a phone call from the two at 11 a.m. on Wednesday and they told me they were headed for Georgia and would be back in Cullowhee at midnight. Well, they made it back by 11 p.m. and with them they brough three rolls of photographs and enough information to write five pages on the hurricane. But as Taylor pointed out, "The hurricane was no longer news, what it had done had already been reported." What was news was the photographs, the story was in the pictures. And that was what he wrote about. They spent almost 30 hours on the road and they did an excellent job in covering the story. Rick and Taylor covered the storm because it was news and they were reporters, and all the effort seems worthwhile when they are suddenly aware they brought a story to you. Boat people meeting In Joyner TO While we were tracking down hurricanes we were temporarily side-tracked from our Boat-People effort. We appreciate the response last week and we urge your continued support. Anyone interested in discussing future plans and efforts in this area is urged to attend a planning committee meeting tonight at 7 p.m. If you cannot make this meeting and are interested please leave a message in our offices.
