Marc Bryson, who has a very optimistic attitude concerning the future of the airport. Bryson, a native of Greensboro, attended Western Carolina University and Guilford Technical Institute, where he received associate degrees in aviation management and flight instruction. Bryson took over as manager of the airport last Tuesday; the airport had been operating under a "caretaker" status pending the decision of a Bryson City federal jury over the county's lawsuit against the contractor and design engineer of the airport. When the decision was rendered against the county, the commissioners hired Bryson to head airport operations. Bryson noted that the airport is operating on a break-even basis now, gaining most of its revenue from the sale of fuel for aviation operations and flight instruction at the airport. He also predicts a boom for operations at the airport, as well as the rest of the Jackson County area, as a result of the upcoming World's Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee: "Since accommodations are already scarce in the Knoxville area, we should experience a great boom in incoming flight traffic at the airport, when people would rather fly here and make the scenic drive to Tennessee." Flight instruction is booming as well. The airport provides a base for several airplanes, and.is being taken advantage of by many flight students and instructors. The controversy over the breakdown of slopes, erosion, and other geological problems does not worry Bryson. "We are taking appropriate steps to correct the situation, and we encourage area residents to come up to the airport and enjoy the view. I think that the Jackson County Airport is the place to make pictures in this area." With the attitude of its new manager, as well as the optimism already expressed by Jackson County Board of Commissioners Chairman Wayne Hooper, it appears that the airport is on its way to becoming an integral part of the Jackson County area. Elections for Commuter Senator were held on the second floor of the U.C. yesterday. Ronald Fine pulled 43 votes, while Mark Fletcher had 30. photo bv Rick McDaniel Purse Thefts On Rise by Darrell Beck In recent weeks there has been a series of purse thefts on campus. Since January 25, eight purses have been stolen from unattended offices. The director of WCU's Traffic and Security Office, Frank Blackman, says that the thefts usually occurred between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., when individuals went to lunch, or to attend to other matters, leaving their purses unattended in the unlocked offices. Five of the stolen purses wcie later recovered, but not the money. Usually, only cash was taken, but in one case credit cards were taken also. The most recent theft occurred on February 12. Prior to these thefts, the campuses of Charlotte, UNCA, and Appalachian State were also victimized. In one case, an Instant Banker Card was also stolen and used to take money from the Instant Banker machines at banks in some of these areas. Blackman believes that those thefts and the ones here are the work of the same people, a group of criminals travelling to various campuses and committing the thefts. There are no definite leads so far on who the criminals are, although the five purses recovered at WCU were found in men's rest rooms. Blackman says that purses wouldn't be taken from locked offices, and he advises that unattended areas be locked in the future to prevent further thefts. Also, he advises that university employees and other individuals should be wary of persons who appear to be wandering through buildings. Students and faculty take to the outdoors in the springtime weather. It is still February, but who cares when the sun shines like it has recently? ____t________t_________________U photo Doug
