  • The Western Carolinian Thursday, June 19, 1980 Voice Of The Students Vol. XLV No. 32 Fly-in flows at airport by Toni Saddler News Editor Last Sunday, approximately 18 airplanes and their pilots, 350 to 500 community members, and 15 Jackson County Composite Civil Air Patrol Squadron members made a rendezvous atop Berry Ridge for the first official CAP Fly-in and aircraft display. Mr. Frank DiCillo, manager of the Jackson County Airport, explained, "The main concern of the Fly-in is to raise the community's awareness of the airport. People need to know that it is available." Pilots within a 150-mile radius were invited to attend. This radius included Greenville, S.C; Athens, Ga.;.; Asheville, N.C; and Knoxville, Tenn. Said Mr. DiCillo,*, "We received about a 10 percent response." Among the planes featured were Ercoupe, a Skymaster, and a Luscombe. Sight-seeing plane rides were given by the management in a Beech Bonanza and a Cessna 172. According to Dallas Stephens, Commander of the Jackson County CAP, "It is hoped that the tly-in will provide positive publicity for the airport. Referring to the community's contribution, Mr. Stephens commented, "It's great." j^m to Page 5, Please. Library on schedule by Eli Walker Contributing Writer Construction on the new addition of Hunter Library is under way as planned, according to Physical Plant Supervisor Jim Culp. Culp said the addition should be finished in one-and-a-half years. Culp said of the structure, "The building is just beginning to come out of the ground. It's not very glamourous at this point. We're very optimistic about staying on schedule." Culp admitted, "We only started about a month ago and we're way within the budget" The general contractor is Haywood Contracting in Waynesville. They have contracted several her companies to do the specialized work. The total cost of the addition will exceed $4,280,000.

Photo by Rick McDaniel Baggs headed to Berkley Dr. Andrew Baggs, current acting head of the political Science Department, will be leaving WCU to become an Associate Professor of Military Science at the University of California Berkeley. Dr. Baggs will also be serving as Executive Officer of Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC). In an interview with Dr. Baggs, he stated tnat the idea of getting back into active duty in a teaching capacity first occured to him while he was in Jacksonville back in December for reserve duty. Having read an advertisement for officers in the reserves to come back to active duty as teachers he called Washington, D.C, and asked whether or not they could use a commander at the academy. After saying no, they suggested that he leave his name and number with them in the event that an opening at another school Kermit to retire from TV The following,article appeared in Sunday's Asheville Citizen and is reprinted in full with their express permission. LONDON [AP] -It looks like curtains for Kermit and goodbye Gonzo. The Muppets have decided to end the zany five-year TV series that turned children and adults alike into Muppet Maniacs. Inside today... The Jackson County aerial show continues on today's centerspread pages 4 and 5 Is Reagan really senile? page 2 Cullowhee Music Festival begins this week page 7 Summer theatre begins anew page 3 'Everybody felt it was time to move on to other things,' Tim Miller of the Muppet Workshop told The Associated Press. The brainchild of America, Jim Henson, the Muppet puppet creatures are now filming here what they say is their final 24-show television series. It will be screened worldwide beginning this September while Henson and his crew turn their attention to feature films. This series will be the end of the Muppets in their present form,' disclosed Lord Lew Grade, the head of Britain's independent ATV network who gave the Muppets their first big commercial TV break. 'But that's not to say that they won't return to TV at some future date,' he added, holding out a glimmer of hope to estimated 235 million fans in 106 countries who adore Miss Piggy and the rest of the Muppet crew. Miller said that as soon as their last TV show is in the can at the end of August, the Muppets will start on the cinema sequel to their blockbuster, 'The Muppet Movie,' which came out last year. What went wrong? 'Nothing,' Miller said. If anything, too much went right. Henson and his crew reportedly were amazed at the phenomenal box office success of 'The Muppet Movie,' a gripping tale of Kermit the froe's search for stardom. became available. About a month later, Dr. Baggs received a phone call informing him that there would be' a position open at Berkeley. If you will remember back during the Vietnam War, there was a great deal of unrest on the campus of Berleley. In the end, the university y decided that it was in their best interest for the ROTC units to leave campus. However the government informed them later that since they were a land grant institution, they would have to reestablish the ROTC programs on campus. In the negotiations with the school, the government agreed that the school would have the final say so in who was hired to teach the ROTC students. The University now requires that all ROTC instructors have the same teaching credentials as a civilian. The military curriculum is also offered to non-ROTC students. In fact, 20 percent of the students entering the ROTC courses are non-ROTC students. Even though the number of students enrolled in the NROTC program is only 100, 90 percent of the NROTC students are on full scholarship and a large number go into programs such as the Navy's nuclear power program. This year for the first time the Navy drafted students into their nuclear program because of shortages. Before, the program participants had always been volunteers. Dr. Baggs stated several reasons for his leaving WCU. Among those he felt that after 11 years at WCU it was time for a change to a different environment. Also he went on to state that the position at Berkley was the "perfect merger" of his two loves, the military and teaching college students. Finally Baggs felt that by going to Berlkey he would have greater access to better research facilities that would definitely upgrade his teaching ability for when he returns to WCU. At the time that this paper was at press, a replacement for Dr. Baggs had not officially been named yet. The department is also still in the process of screening applicants for a position in the field of Public Administration. A new degree will also be offered next year, Bachelor of Public Administration.
