The Western Carolinian Voice of the Students Thursday, January 31,1980 Vol. XLV, No. 18 WCU receives new bid Library construction halted Many students at WCU have been wondering what happened to the construction crews that were beginning to work on the new addition at Hunter Library. The Mid-South Construction firm had begun preparatory work before the Christmas holidays. When the students came back the construction crews were gone as was their equipment. At first it was assumed by several people that the construction company had decided to halt any further work until warmer weather. In a.recent interview with C.J. Carter, the vice-chancellor of Business Affairs and William Kirwan, the head of Hunter Library, the real reason has come to light. As previously reported the administration opened bids in early October but they found themselves substantially over their budget by some 1.3 million dollars. The administration decided to attempt to negotiate on the amount of work to be done in hopes of awarding the contract quickly with construction costs rising everyday. Finally a verbal agreement had been made with one of the four contractors, the Mid-South Construction Co., just a few days before the expiration date of the bids. The Mid-South company decided that since it was so close to the deadline that they would go ahead and do some preparatory survey work so they might be able to get some footings poured before cold weather set in. All of this work was done at their own risk as no formal contract had been drawn up. Another general contractor protested stating that the scope of the original design was substantially different than the plans developed during the negotiations with the Mid-South company thereby resulting in a greatly different project. The administration sensing that action could be taken, possibly against the school, called the State Construction Board to get a ruling before proceeding further. The state board said that while the school could negotiate on the amount of work to be done to a reasonable extent they did not define what a reasonable amount was. Therefore, the administration felt that the project should be bidded upon again as revised to be on the safe side. Since the Mid-South Construction Company was no longer guaranteed a contract they decided that it was time to pull out. As of now rescheduling for bids has been advertised and the new bidding should open on Feb. 21. The administration hopes to start work again some time in early April. Carter lashes Soviet moves POLITICAL FOOTNOTES THE STATE OF THE UNION By Lee Grant The Nation was watching and the World was listening to what Mr. Carter had to say last Wednesday nighft. There were actually few surprises," but at the same time some things were spoken upon openly for the first time by the President. From the outset the President touched on the two kev issues that have been on the minds of most of us—Iran and Afghanistan. The President reemplified his earlier statements concerning Iran stating that the United States would not be blackmailed and asked again for the aid and sympathy of the other nations in regards to condemning the actions taken by Iran. Also the President went on to remind the people of Iran that their country's greatest threat to peace and freedom was to the North, meaning Russia and its troops that are now in Afghanistan. President Carter then went on to denounce the Russian troops in Afghanistan stating that "the Soviet Union must pay a concrete price for its aggression. While this invasion continues, we and the other nations of the world cannot conduct business as usual with the Soviet Union. I will not issue any permits for Soviet ships to fish in the coastal waters of the United States. I have cut Soviet access to high technology equipment and agricultural products. And I have asked our allies and friends to join with us in restraining their own trade with the Soviets and not to replace our embargoed items." Later in his speech Carter stated that while at the Perinial crowd pleaser Harry 'The Glide' Dolan goes up for two against Davidson Monday night. Dolan, a 6'9" senior from West Palm Beach, Florida, overcame a slow season last year to start most of this season's games. The Cats are on the road tonight against Carson-Newman College In a non-conference match-up. Tickets for the February 19 Waylon Jennings concert will go on sale Mondav for students and Tuesdav for the general public. Tickets are $4.00 for students, $8.00 for the public, and can be purchased at the information desk at the U.C. present our nation's armed forces were adequate enough for today's needs, we must guard ourselves from the future. With this in mind. President Carter went on to announce that "the Selective Service system must now be revitalized." The President plans to send to Congress some time next month legislation and budget proposal so the country can begin registration. The President closed his message by reiterating his stand on bringing the middle eastern countries back to peace, further attempts to balance the budget and the importance of energy conservation. With his stands outlined, the Republicans and even some members of the President's own party offered their opinion of his remarks. GOP Chairman Bill Brock turned on President Carter on Sunday night when the Republican rebuttle was televised. Brock stated that the reasons that the United States was in the position that we are is due to Mr. Carter's ineptitude. Brock charged that while the Soviets were increasing their military capabilities Carter was consistently cutting back on the defense budget, delaying the development of strategic weapons systems, for example the cruise missle, and in some cases eliminating others such as the Bl bomber. Also Turn to Page 3, please SGA Vice President Sullins BY R.B. COCHRAN Staff Writer The following news feature is a personal interview with Richard SulMns, Vice President of SGA and President of the Student Senate. Carolinian: Tell us a little about yourself Richard. Where are you from? What is your major? etc. SulMns: Well. I'm originally from Spruce Pine, N.C. I'm 21 years old. I'm a senior political science major on the 4 and one-fourth year plan. I graduated from high school in 1976. . .and plan to graduate here at Western in December. Carolinian: What kind of experience did you have in student politics before your present term as Vice President? Sullins: In high school, I was on the high school student council. My junior year, I was Vice President of the student body. Then when I came to Western, I served as Senator my sophmore year. 1 was a Senator again half way through my junior year last year. Then in January of last year I resigned as senator to take a job up here as Director of Legal Assistance. Then I ran for Vice President in April of last year and was elected. Carolinian: You said in a recent interview that your job as Vice President was to streamline things so that the SGA could run smoothly and more efficiently. Would you elaborate on that a little more? Sullins: Well, let me say that Roger's job as president is to look out for the Student Government Association as a whole. Roger does a lot of the representative functions, such as dedications or entertaining visitors. As a result of this, it takes a lot of his time away from actually being in the office and seeing how things are run. So what I've tried to do this year is to be in the office while Turn to Page 3, please
