Western Carolinian Voice of the Students Volume XLVI Issue 19 February 11, 1982/ Cullowhee, North Carolina Phone 227-7267 Inside Today Letters 2 Astrology 2 Editorials 3 SGA News 5 Sports 7 Basketball Standouts— 8 Classifieds 9 News Briefs 10 Entertainment 11 Book Review 12 TV Studio Interest Rising by Darrell Beck Established around 1965, when the Killian Building was first constructed, the television studio was under the direction of the School of Education and Psychology. In 1970, the studio was equipped with a four-camera black- and-white television system, a special effects board, and an intercom, and a modulator system; at that time, these advances were considered the state of the art. In 1975, the department of Speech and theatre Arts obtained use of the facilities for the purpose of teaching broadcasting courses. By then, however, the black-and-white system was outdated, so plans began to be developed to convert the studio to a color system. In 1980, the studio came under the direction of the Office of Public Information. That same year, the new color system was established. Today, the studio is managed and supported by the University Media Center, which is directed by Mr. Chris Martin. Martin says that the prime purposes of the studio are to develop a higher level of expertise of all concerned with the facilities to increase the number of realistic experiences for students in television, develop greater expertise for production and scriptwriting abilities, to bring outside video sources to our area, and to improve and increase the community's awareness of television. The studio's existing capabilities include a two- camera color system, videotape recording, editing facilities, lighting systems, and a portable color camera and videotaping system for field work. The studio is used by various university departments, including the Media Center, Education and Psychology, and Speech and Theatre Arts. Other areas of the university may be interested in using the facilities for educational purposes. For instance, if an instructor wishes to have a tape made concerning a project, he can go to the Media Center and tell them what exactly he wants concerning content of the presentation, and they will make it for him. Immediate future plans for the studio include the installation of a new lighting system, which is hoped to be ready by the end of the semester. Also planned is a lighting dimmer board, a microphone mixer system, and a means of having direct audio cassette input into the system. Additionally, more interest in and use of the portable camera and taping system is expected; Martin says that at present. 80 percent of the studio's production is field-oriented. The minicam unit is available photo by Mark Haskett to students who are registered in specific classes requiring use of the unit; this is coordinated through the classes' instructors In the more distant future, it is hoped that an intercampus cable system will be established, operating through the existing studio. A more realistic model for cable transmissions over cable locally is also hoped for, says Martin. LMP's Bagley Wants Student Input by Greg Ryder If asked what they thought of when someone mentioned LMP, most WCU students would probably say, "Oh, those guys who put on the concerts and stuff." Well, that student is absolutely right. LMP is those guys who put on the concerts, and the movies, and the ski trips, and the coffee houses, and the disco's, and the canoeing and kayaking clinics, and a lot of other things. So the student might just ask. "Well why hasn't anyone told me?" Students, they have, so listen up and start taking part in the number of different activities that LMP has scheduled for this semester. "One of the biggest problems we have is getting the students involved in our programs." Jenny Bagley echoed the sentiments of many of the other LMP workers. "Most of them don't understand that the money tor a large part of our programs comes from the student activities fee that everyone pays when they register." LMP receives seven dollars for each student enrolled for the semester, and that money is spent whether all the students participate or not. The money goes to finance the films that are rented and shown on Friday nights in Hoey auditorium and at other important activities. The money is also used to subsidise such student activities as skiing, canoeing, and other costs as printing of posters and the like. When a major act such as the Charlie Daniels concert tonight is scheduled, then the money to pay for the contract price of the group is covered out of the receipts taken at the door. That is a long way from providing for the entire cost of the concert though. The price of paying for the stage crew and other paid workers comes from the general fund for the organization. "We have a total of over one hundred students involved in the entire show but only thirty of these Hooper Talks On A irport Jenny Bagley, President of LMP, talks about the problems of student involvement in LMP programs offered. She explained how LMP is set up and how students fit into these programs as volunteers and paid employees. Ms. Bagley commenting on her personal feelings about her job with LMP had this to say, "It's not a high paying job, but I love it." Ms. Bagley also urged students to participate in the CDB concert so there might be another concert this semester. crew members are paid for the work they do. The rest are all volunteers." And that business of volunteers has been one of the major headaches of the staff of LMP this year. Usually LMP likes to use previous volunteers, but anyone is welcome to go by the LMP offices located in the lower level of the UC and sign up to help. Last Minute Productions is set up on committee system, with six committees deciding on the best way to provide the students with enjoyable leisure time activities. These committees cover such areas as Contemporary Music, Outdoor Activities, Minority Programs, and Films. Jenny has worked with LMP for three years now, two as Vice President and this year as President. The students elect the representative to this office along with other student government officials in the April elections. Jenny, along with the other permanent staff members, is paid a small stipend for the services performed, but this no way goes in compensating for the long hours they put in. "It's not a high paying job. but I love it!" says Jenny of her post. She says that she has gained valuable experience working with the organization, but doubts she will try for a second term as President of LMP. When asked if she had any final thoughts for the students, she said that she just felt that the students needed to get more involved in the programs and activities. "If the Charlie Daniels concert doesn't sell out it's doubtful that there will be another concert here this semester." So students, take a part in the activities offered to you by LMP. As Jenny so aptly put it..."It's your money guys." by Monica Henson The following is an exclusive "CaroIinian'Tnterview with T. Wayne Hooper, chairman of the Jackson County Board of Commissioners, concerning the recent court decision about the Jackson County Airport issue. MH: "I don't have many questions, Mr. Hooper, I just want some basic information." WH: "Well, there's not much you can say about this situation that hasn't already been said, but I don't mind responding to any questions you have." MH: "Why did Jackson County sue the D.C. Barbot engineering firm and the A.B. Burton construction company?" WH: "First of all, the airport project was undertaken by the county and built on the site that was selected by the engineer. There were some questions raised as to the site selected, but the county ultimately decided to put the airport on the site where it is now located. The engineering firm, in this case. D.C. Barbot, designs and oversees the construction of such projects. The contractor in our case was A.B. Burton. The engineer told the county, before I got here, incidentally, that an airport could be built here, and the contractor, after looking at the plans and specifications, said that the company would do it. During construction, and before some of the work was even started, some of the plans were changed. The engineer allegedly consulted some soil experts, including members of the engineering school at the University of Tennessee, and the result was the construction of an airport that began to cause trouble before it was even completed, including erosion, failure of slopes, and other problems. When I arrived, a year or so after the plan had been accepted by the county, the problems continued, the major one being the failed slope at the southwest end of the runway, across from the terminal building. I, along with the part-time commissioners, sought financial assistance to try to correct some of the problems with the airport. The county was at that time under a court order from the state attorney general's office, on behalf of the Department of Natural Resources, to correct the problems. We were successful in getting some grants to fund some offside drainage and to stabilize some of the smaller areas. We believe now that we have complied with the state sedimentation control laws. We replaced one failed slope, and we replaced some of the brush barriers that have decayed. We took legal action against the engineering firm and the contractor because we felt that the county had not gotten its money's worth in the engineering and construction of the airport. The court heard both sides ot the story, and 1 think the jury had a very good overview of what happened. There were some questions as to where certain responsibilities belonged. The jury found both the engineer and the county negligent in the case, which rendered the county unable to recoup any money from the engineer. The contractor was found not guilty of negligence and not guilty of breach of contract. The county did have to pay for some pipe that was never used, and which the contractor lost money on. The county commissioners decided during our board meeting this week not to appeal the decision, because we feel we do not have substantial grounds for appeal." MH: "Where does the county go from h WH: "The airport was built from public funds from various sources, one being some local money which was voted on in a referendum, and which was a small amount compared to the toal cost of the project. Also, some federal revenue sharing money comes to the county from the federal government on a per capita basis, plus we got some Appalachian Region Commission funds and some Federal Aviation Administration airport development grants. We have now expended every effort to have the engineer and the contractor correct the problem of the failed slope without success; also, we have lost about 600 feet of the original 3400-foot runway, leaving us with about 2800 feet of actual usable runway, and we need to correct that problem for several reasons. We are now going to ask the federal government for help, since we have gone every other route we know, and I am just not willing to ask the public to put any more money into it." MH: "Is the airport in use right now?" WH: "Yes. we are now obligated to keep the airport open by accepting federal grants for its construction. In order to not have the airport or to turn it into something else. we would have to repay those grants. It is the off-season for flight school and other aviation right now, but we are expecting things to pick up in the spring. The airport is being used, however: the forest service uses it during fire seasons; the Civil Air Patrol chapter here uses it as a meeting place; local citizens with private planes use it. It is not something that is just 'falling off the mountain." It is a burden right now. but we are hoping that it will b> supporting in the near future." Valentine's Day Is Sunday Valentine's Day draws closer. Some WCU students have already taken care of their sweethearts by getting a jump on card buying this semester. This card giving tradition also fits into student winter time budgets by allowing a special "I Love You" without costing an arm and a leg to do so.
