  • 'Selling drugs Is as easy as selling Mercedes* for $ 7000' EDITOR'S NOTE: The names ot those interviewed have been changed to secure the protection and credibility of the Western Carolinian and those interviewed. Certain information concerning the use, availability, and supply of drugs has been withheld in order to guard against the promotion or increased distribution of drugs on the WCU campus. The Western Carolinian Is publishing this series as an educational service, not as a promotion or condemnation of drug use. Inquiries concerning this series should be directed to the Editor-in-Chief. By Eddie Yandle Associate Editor It was fitting. A joint was being passed around each time I talked to any of the "connections" at WCU. They were telling me about drugs on campus and how they dispersed them on campus. "Selling drugs on this campus is as easy as selling Mercedes-Benz's for $1000. Everybody wants them. I'm just the person who gets it for them," Jim, one of Cullowhee's connections, said. FIRST IN A SERIES OF FOUR ARTICLES The only problem any of them said they encountered was keeoinu a "constant flow" on campus. One week I'll have 20 pounds of dope and the next «eek I won't have a damn thing and people will be coming up to me begging for the shit, lt just breaks my heart to turn them down, because that's money," 'David' another "connection" said. All of them agreed that it was relatively easy to receive their "goods" from their associates. It just depended on its availability. "The hardest thing for me to get is Coke. But boy when it's here—I only have to tell two or three people that I've got it and the next thing I know, everyone and his mother is over here whippin' out the bills so they can ride the train of happiness," John said. Cocaine was considered by all to be the hottest item on the market as Mark emphasized by saying, "There's never a great abundance of Coke because it's so expensive although there has been around one-half to one-quarter pounds of Coke on campus, and that's a lot of Coke. It's just that it's gone so quick." Although Cocaine was considered the fastest seller, all agreed that it was simply because it wasn't on Tum to page 7, please Photo By E.S. McDaniel WESTERN CAROLINIAN Voice of the Students Thursday, October 18,1979 Vol. XLV, No.9 Senate budget draws storm of controversy By David Hubbs Staff Writer At the WCU Student Senate meeting Monday night one of the main bills passed is the 1979-80 appropriations. The appropriations for the Student Handbook is to pay for the current issue which has already been billed. Sen. Luther Hollingsworth made the motion and it passed, to take $1000.000 from the Western Carolinian line item concerning wages and transfer it to the Student Handbook. During the debate over the appropriations resolution the Senate heard from representatives of the Catamount, O.E.S., SAGLA, the Western Carolinian and the NOMAD. The editor of the Catamount, Vince Gentry, explained to befuddled senators that the money they requested was to pay for the current issue and that the Catamount would not have enough left over to begin work on next year's issue. President Roger McKinney addressed the Senate about this matter and explained that the $21,000.00 allotted for the yearbook is already one-fifth of the total funds. He said that if the Catamount received the $30,000.00 it desired then this would be one-fourth of the total funds. At that amount, considering there are only 2,000 copies printed, then all 7,000 students would be paying six dollars a piece for a publication that only 2,000 students would receive. The Senate discussion continued, but the allottment of funds for the Catamount was not changed. Al Richardson, president of OES, addressed the Senate and was not happy with the amount funded for the OES. It was never made clear exactly what amount they had requested. The discussion became emotional and was considered not germane to the issue at hand by the Senate. There was no action to change the Inside today • •• Editorials. ..2 Columns...3 and 5 Newsbriefs...6 Organizations...IS Classifieds... 20 Sports...21 appropriation for OES. A representative from SAGLA also addressed the Senate but its funds were not changed. The editor of the NOMAD was surprised that the magazine had not been funded at all, but some mention was made by Controller Duane McPherson and President Roger McKinney of special appropriations in the spring. The Senate voted by role call and passed the budget as it appears in this article. The vote was 24 yes and 1 no. The no vote was cast by Sen. Scott Craig. Several drinkers dropped in jail By Fred Kopp Staff Writer The "Drink Till You Drop" party held Saturday resulted in a lot of good times for a lot of people. Unfortunately, however, nineteen people didn't make it home. The Jackson County Sheriff Department received sevral complaints from residents of the Cullowhee area between 3:30 and 6 p.m. about loud noise and blocked roads resulting from a party being held in a field near the Speedwell Baptist CHurch. An officer was dispatched to the party to clear the read and ask the people to keep the noise down. After feeling that he had accomplished his mission, the officer left the scene. Fifteen minutes later, however, several more complaints were received about individuals from the party using the Speedwell Baptist Church as a bathroom. The same officer returned to the party and several individuals at the party reportedly became belligerent, shouting obscenities at the patrolman. One of the individuals, after being asked not to drive in his condition, got in his car and was arrested for driving while intoxicated. While in pursuit of the suspected drunk driver, the officer observed and reported an accident that had occurred on the Speedwell Road near the Speedwell General Store. The North Carolina Highway Patrol dispatched a patrol to investigate the accident. The driver of one vehicle was a Cullowhee resident returning home from work, and the driver of the other Turn to page 7, please
