  • The^ster n Carolinian Voice of the Students Thursday, April 3,1980 Vol. XLV No. 26 Several Static military exhibitions were on display Saturday as Western hosted its 2nd Annual ROTC Day as proclaimed by Governor Hunt. The day's activities were concluded with the Cadet Corps' Military Ball at the UC Grandroom. Carolinian interviews candidates Student Government will be holding its annual Spring elections next Tuesday, April 8th. The voting will take place at the Hinds University Center and is open to all students. SGA is asking that all students who wish to vote bring by a valid student I.D. card. Remember this year one card does it all. On the serious side there are two candidates for SGA President, Mark Williams and Jim Adams. This is the most important position in student government, for the president represents the student body at all administrative functions. Mark Williams is a Junior from Robbinsville, N.C. He is presently pursuing a double major in Political Science and Philosophy with his major emphasis being on Constitutional Law. Williams hopes to be a corporate lawyer and feels that SGA will provide him with worthwhile experience. Throughout his years here at Western, Mark has worked his way up through SGA. His freshman year he served on the Committee to Promote Voter Awareness. In his Sophomore year he served as Attorney General of SGA where he obtained some important insights in the judicial workings of student government. This past year he has been serving as the assistant to the president. In this position he has seen that another traffic court was installed to get rid ot the tremenaous SGA elections On April 15, 1980, voting will take place to elect senators and other officers. There are eight SGA commuter senate seats and three senator at large seats open. SGA does not have a monopoly on the election day procedures as voting will also be held to elect a new Editor and Business Manager of both the Western Carolinian and the Catamount. There is also a vote to be taken for the General Manager of WWCU. The deadline for filing for these positions is April 4th at 5 p.m. Students may file for these positions at the SGA Office on the second floor of the UC. amount of backlogged cases. This year for the first time in SGA history the traffic court is not behind. Williams stated that he feels that the main problem with SGA is its lack of communication with the students. He plans to deal with this problem by having a forum aired each week on WWCU with the subject advertised in the Western Carolinian. Williams would like to see the SGA representative on the forum rotated each week so the students could get to know each member of the staff better and get a better insight into what each of the officer's responsibilities are. Williams later went on to add that the powers of the SGA's legal advisor are too limited and he would like to see an attorney come to the school once a week to give the students free legal advice. Jim Adams is a sophomore from Waynesville, Nortl. Carolina. A History major, Jim is an outsider in the SGA race as he has not served in SGA previously. Jim hopes to bring some new blood as well as ideas into student government. The Western Carolinian tried to reach Adams on several occasions to get a better idea of his platform but we were unable to reach him. In the Vice-Presidential Race Scott Furr will face Bill Lauten. Furr is a junior' from Concord, North Carolina. A Marketing Major, Scott's goal as Vice-President is to improve the overall image of student government. Scott would also like to improve on the efficiency of the Supreme Court and the Superior Court. Another point that Scott stresses is the relationship between the Alumni and SGA. He feels that this needs to be worked on vigorously as do other things such as student involvement and the relationship between our SGA and the other student governments across the state. Furr has served in the Senate for one full year. While there, he served as Chairman of the University Services Committee and as Chairman of Commuter Affairs. Furr has also served on the Senate Finance Committee. Scott feels that these are the most important committees in the senate and by serving on these various committees he has gained the much needed experience to be an Turn to Page 9, please. Reagan, Carter take primaries POLITICAL FOOTNOTES By Lee Grant Ihe Kansas and Wisconsin primaries are over and it seems that for all practical lUirnoses so are the races. Ronald Reagan swept both primaries with relative ease taking over 60 percent of the vote in Kansas and around 40 percent of tin- vote in Wisconsin. Ihe victory in Wisconsin was of more importance due lo it being an crossover state. It was expected thai Reagan would be hurt by the liberal and moderate Democrats and Independents who could vote easilj for John Anderson. Reagan received, how ever, approximately 23 percent of the Democrats who crossed o It seems that the final nails have been driven into the coffin of the John Anderson campaign at least in the Republican race. There is still wide speculation that Anderson will seek election as a third party candidate. II Anderson is to be a third party contender now is the time to get started. To get on the ballots in the key states Anderson must get the names in some cases over a hundred thousand signatures of people who wish to see him as a third party nominee. This process would cost an extraordinary amount of money and third party candidates are not given any federal aid in their campaign. Should Reagan and Carter win their parties' nominations, however, they would split around 50 million dollars given by the government to be used to finance their respective campaigns. Finally time is not on Anderson's side. Should he wait until the Republican Convention is over he would have just 30 days to come up with around 300 thousand signatures to appear on three states' ballots within another 30 days, this would leave him with only around 6 weeks to concentrate on campaigning. On the Democrat side it looks as though President Carter will win the nomination over Senator Kennedy. The senator after his two big losses in Wisconsin and Kansas' must get around 64 percent of the remaining vote just to catch the president. That would seem to be impossible but Kennedy says that he is in the race to the end. Of course Gov. Brown said the same thing a week ago and is now out of the race officially. Kennedy has stated that Pa. will be the next real test between himself and the president. Still that is easy for Kennedy to say he has done pretty well in the east but in the west the people, though not happy with Carter, see him as their onlv choice. This could explain why so many of the Democrats have decided to vote with a Republican ballot this year. Senate opposes new GER By Jim Wrinn Senate Reporter It's official: WCU's student senate is definitely against a revamp of General Education (GE) requirements—or at least the version about to be presented to the faculty senate by its own GE committee. At the student senate's regular Monday afternoon meeting, the assembly heard academics committee chairman Bonnie Blalock give a favorable report concerning the policy statement against the GE changes. SGA President, Roger McKinney, then voiced his opinions on the subject, saying, "I feel that it will cause more problems than it is worth." President McKinney also told the group that the GE proposals would abolish the current program entirely; "They would be starting from scratch," he said. A unanimous vote approving the policy statement followed. Turn to Page 3, please.
