  • Western Carolinian December 3, 1981 Hooper Gives Views Wayne Hooper, Jackson County Commissioner and alumnus of WCU, gave his views concerning the county's relationship with the University and some of the advantages and disadvantages of that relationship. Born in Jackson County, Mr. Hooper has long been in the public eye prior to becoming the county's commissioner. He served the public as a teacher, Postmaster, and school board member. Mr. Hooper also has served in Korea with the army, built and ran the Speedwell General Store, built homes, was a design technician, and raised a family while performing these duties. Mr. Hooper, in talking about Western, stated that he felt very comfortable in coming on campus due to his long association with the University as an alumnus. This is an advantage he feels helps in the county's relationship to the University. Being a resident of the county and an alumnus gives him the ability to understand both viewpoints in many situations. When asked about some of the disadvantages of having a university in the county, Mr. Hooper brought out the fact that the University was state property and the county could not collect taxes on that land. He also mentioned that there are, at times, some problems due to the parties that the students have creating situations where residents of the county must call on the services of the local authorities. However, Mr. Hooper added that there would be something wrong if the students did not have parties at times. Moving from the disadvantages to the positive effects of the University in Jackson County, Mr. Hooper first spoke about the opportunities of education made available for the county's citizens. The creation of social activities such as the sports events, Mountain Heritage Day, concerts, plays, and art exhibits provide expansion for the community at large. — The commissioner then spoke about the income that is generated by the university—WCU being the largest payroll source in the area. This in turn generates sales tax revenue from the employees and students that live and shop in Jackson County. In speaking about some of the past advantages the university has offered to the county, Mr. Hooper looked back to the days when the university provided electricity to a rural area that did not have the means to provide this service to its residents. He also talked about some more recent events such as the water and sewage treatment plant that was a coordinated effort between the county and the university. to pace 16 Voice of the Students Volume XLVI Issue 14 Senate Forms Ad-Hoc Gommittee Greg Dennis, seen here in action against Methodist College, has gotten off to a good start this year and is currenly sporting a 21 point scoring average. by Leah Geanopolus In their last meeting for the Fall 1981 Semester, Western Carolina University's Student Senate held a brief session. It was decided that Senate Resolution #939 would be tabled until their next meeting. This resolution would allow for six appointments to the Student Judiciary for the 1981-1982 academic year. Proposed Supreme Court members are: Steve Cloud, Keith Corzine, John Everhart, Bill Hooker, Bruce Moore, and Jane Watson. A scheduled meeting of the Student Senate for December 6th was cancelled. Two issues of direct importance to students were brought before the Senate at the session immediately preceding Thanksgiving Break (November 23rd) after being postponed for several weeks. The Vice-President's Office sponsored Senate Resolution #936 which created an Ad-Hoc Committee to review the Office of Traffic and Security. This temporary committee will be in existence until April 1, 1982 and will consist of six Senators. In the words of the resolution, their duties will be as follows: (1) To conduct a general review of the Policy of the Office of Traffic and Security. (2) To present problems and the most plausible alternative to them: A) Current appeal processes B) Lack of available parking places C) Student oriented security problems D) Any other items that shall be properly brought before the said committee and is of importance to the Student Body. The Office of Traffic and Security has never been examined in this manner by the Student Senate and the resolution cites an increase in recent problems as impetus for such a review; it was passed unanimously. Also passed unanimously was a resolution denouncing the "recent increase in lock-out fees charged to students residing in campus housing." It charged that fees are unfair and lacking proper guidelines and scrutiny. Funds collected in this manner are usually used for Resident Assistant suppers and often services not benefiting those students who live in the dorms. It is difficult to predict at this time what the effect of this resolution will be, but as it stands SR #938 is simply a condemnation of this practice. We at the Western Carolinian are grateful for the cooperation and consideration of the Student Government Association through Fall 1981 as it is their function also to be the voice of the students.
