  • observation* Hajfl HofecoiiMig C^ahputfeJ *m bv E. S. Rhett U««i. Cjwi'ih* The laws of various cultures, both great and small, have historically legislated against an imposition of the state over the individual, yet the state, given time, eventually wins. The present era is no exception. Consider, if you have the patience to do so, the current condition of the county in which our center of higher learning is located, lis government wishes lo have multi-laned highways and air transport centers, rather than spend its rather healthy revenues on the pooi-. the aged, the weak, and the sick. What sort of government allows for luxury before necessity? What son of government destroys beamy in order to provide convenience to the traveler? Is it not insanity lo cut a lovely tree so that a motorist may be accommodated more comfortably? Of couse, " is insanity, especially lure in our lovely mountains, to which WC have all retreated in order to avoid such mischief. The Economics System, the Academic System, both governed largely be the high foreman, must apparently be served, and change, according to hcraelitus and others, is the first law of nature. The high foremen demand it be so. But where is there an end to this aspect of madness? Do wc run on to the edge of the universe not having learned what foolishness it is to carve mountains into useless airports and hillsides into unused roadways? Why, Captain Ahab, must we have the whale? Why? Valete E.G. Rhett Carolinian Catches Flack From SGA By Jim Wrinn Staff Writer "It's been a long, drawn out process and I hope everybody will be satisfied," said SGA Comptroller Scott Furr. His remark, hearlding the annual budget meeting of the student senate this past Monday was termed by some as being both a prologue to the budget debate that followed and a prayer to the WCU clubs and organizations receiving $122,225 in allocated funds for the 1980-81 school year. The Western Carolinian, which received the largest amount of SGA money, was the first to voice disapproval of its funding for the year. Tim Thompson, business manager for the Carolinian, told the senate that instead of the $26,180 appropriated, he needed $31,000 "Just to be working." "Why, last year's business manager," he added, "left us $3,000 in unpaid bills-we're starting out in the red." In looking for more money. Thompson told the senate that he had already overspent two fixed charge line items by more than $500. that the money allocated for wages was $2,000 less than acceptable thanks to an increase in the minimum wage, and that to offset an 18Vj increase in printing costs, the paper had begun to produce only 5000 copies a week--1000 less than usual. Thompson, however, found little sympathy from the senate. "What about ad revenues?" asked Senator Mary Duggan. Thompson replied that 50 percent went to pay five members of the editorial and production staff as provided for in the paper's constitution, and the other half went into a University established trust tund, which the paper has nearly depleted to carry on business. Thompson was rebuked on the issue of the sagging trust fund when SGA President Mark Williams presented a document dated September 30. 1980, showing the paper's trust fund with $3,815. To this Thompson said that he had not had access to a copy for five months and that the account had been "dipped into a lot" during this month. Senator Robert Allen suggested that Thompson reduce the amount of ad money going to the newspaper management, but Senator Scott Craig countered him. "We shouldn't penalize the paper for being a profit making group," said Craig, "that's five fewer people we have to pay.'' Still other senators made recommend ations to Thompson on "tightening the Carolinian's belt." Senator Jeff Tomberlin suggested that ad rates go up--something Thompson said had been done last year "and will be considered next Spring." Senator Lisa Womack mentioned a reduction in staff; Thompson replied that he had already had to let three people go. Underlying the disagreement on funding for the ■ Carolinian was Senator Tracey Wyatt, who kept interjecting and stating that the newspaper's past finances should be checked into by the finance committee or a group of faculty members. Wyatt's idea did not gain support in the senate, but he was not alone in questioning the paper's finances. "It's clearly a case of poor management," said Comptroller Furr in reference to the Carolinian's deficit situation. In rebuttal, Thompson said, "What can I do now but pay it?" Thompson was stunned when Senator Todd Mason then proposed trimming the Carolinian budget by $2,000-$1,000 from wages and another $1,000 from printing costs. "They'll have no trouble getting by and they're not professional enough to deserve $8,000 in wages."said Mason, when asked by fellow senators why he recommended the cuts. Ultimately, because Mason's proposed cuts were defeated. Thompson neither gained nor lost any money from his allocation. In consolation. Senator Richard Sullins reminded the senate and Thompson that there would probably be additional allocations next Spring and that the newspaper's plight could be heard again at that time. WWCU received the second largest SGA appropriation, $23,440. The station's business manager, Ben Burr, explained that his group needed most of its money to cover expenses related to increasing wattage next year. "When we go from ten to one-hundred watts next fall," said Burr, "we'll need new control boards,frequency monitor, stereo equipment, and these monies will get us ready for the boost." There were no moves to decrease the WWCU allocation, but later in the meeting Senator Sullins proposed that all of the Barbell Club's travel money be split between WWCU and the Organization of Ebony Students, $100 and $175, respectively. Sullins made the motion, he said, because the Barbell Club wouldn't need travel money--it had been suspended from using the motor pool. President Williams, however noted that the expendatures were also available for travel by plane, as proposed by the Barbell Club. Sullins motion failed. The only other group whose allowance was questioned was the Nutrition & Food Service Management Association, a new organization this year. Senator Sullins suggested that $380--all of the club's travel money--be transferred to WWCU. This motion also failed. The Catamount, which requested $53,000 but Cartoon by Tony Cole received only $21,250 was the next largest recipiant group, followed by SGA at $16,175. The Organization of Ebony Students, represented by Vict President Al Richardson, received $l,810-nearly two and a half times what it got last year. Richardson, in explaining the large allocation, stated that his group is about to move into a new building (the old student union) and that funds would be needed to furnish it. That, he said, along with the return of OES's publication. Neo-Blackness, had made the increases necessary. The final vote on the entire budget was 17-for, 6-against. In other senate news, a resolution was passed lowering the minimum QPR of SGA members from 2.0 to 1.8 for a period of one semester's grace; similarly, an act requesting the Traffic & Security Committee reevaluate the designation of parking spaces passed; and Senator Lisa Womack was elected president pro-tempore of the senate. Candidates' Forum Fourteen candidates for county, state, and national office appeared at WCU Monday night in the 1980 Candidates' Forum. The forum, sponsored by the American Association of University Women, the Professional Women's Association, and the League of Women Voters, was broadcast live by WRGC in Sylva. Each candidate was allowed three minutes to make an opening statement, after which the candidates answered written questions put by the audience. The participants were 11th District Congressman Lamar Gudger, a Democrat, and his Republican challenger. Bill Hendon; Democratic State Senators Joe H. Palmer and R.P."Bo" Thomas; State Legislature incumbents Liston B. Ramsey and Ernest Messer. Democrats, running unopposed; Republicans Donald Kinsland and Jeanete K. Smith and Democrats Veronica J. Nicholas and incumbent Robert Smith candidates for two Part-Time Commissioner positions in Jackson County; and. for two seats on the Jackson County Board of Education, Democrats Thomas Turrcntine and incumbent William Rodgers Shelton. who could not attend because the Board met at that that time, and Republicans Mary T. Bradley and Roger Gunter. Rose Greer of WRGC was the announcer, and Jeanne Nienhuis was the moderator. October 23, 1980/ Western Carolinian/ 3
