  • Wooten Named Comptroler George W. Wooten of Statesville, county manager of Iredell County, has been named controller at Western Carolina University, effective July 1. Announcement of his appointment to succeed Neil C. Steifle Jr. was made by Dr. C.J. Carter, WCU vice chancellor for business affairs. Wooten, a 1973 business administration graduate of WCU, holds the master's degree in political science from Appalachian State University. He also has studied county administration at the Institute of Government of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Carter said Wooten's earlier positions in public administration made him an excellent choice for the University position. As county manager in Iredell, Wooten was responsible for coordinating the work of 27 departments employing more than 300 persons, and for administering a $13.2 million annual budget. From 1975 to 1979, he was finance director for the county government. He was named to the chief administrative position in March of last year.

Page 3/Western Carolinian/June 12,1980 Bear Lake To Open Bear Lake should return to normal by next Monday, says a Nantahala Power and Light Company employee The level at Bear Lake has been lowered since midnight, May 27, to repair a leaking seal to a spillway gate. The lake was lowered from the normal 2560 to 2549 feet, making swimming, boating and fishing difficult. Most people seeking lake recreation have had to go to Cedar Cliff Lake, located below Bear. The lake is rising approximately one foot per day, and should reach normal level by Monday. Danish Gymnasts To Visit Cullowhee A Danish gymnastics team will visit WCU next fall as part of its U.S. tour and officials coordinating the visit are seeking families in the Cullowhee area to help house the exchange students. The gymnasts will visit Western North Carolina Oct. 6-9 and are scheduled to perform at Murphy High School, Sylva-Webster High, Blue Ridge High, WCU, Cherokee High, Camp Laboratory School and several other schools before returning to Denmark. There will be 32 gymnasts, 16 males and 16 females. Acting as a host family will involve meeting one or two guests Oct. 6 at 5 p.m. and providing dinner and evening entertainment for that evening only. Hosts will provide rooms through the night of Oct. 9 and be responsible for transporting their guests to the WCU campus each morning around 8 a.m. and back to the hosts' home each afternoon or evening as scheduled. Anyone interested in assisting should contact either Sue Fields at 227-7332 or 293-5189, or Perry Kelly at 227-7210 or 293-5458 as soon as possible.
