  • N e w s Western Welcomes New Faculty by GREG RYDER Staff Writer Growth at Western Carolina University takes on many different forms. Besides physical growth through building there is also another sort of growth that is infinitely more important. Intellectual growth; the expansion of brain-power on which a university depends. This is necessary to keep pace with the constant growth of accumulated knowledge in all fields. New techniques are constantly being developed and the coming of the computer age has greatly increased access to this knowledge. WCU has been in touch with this need and this year thirty-two new faculty members have been added to this institution. These include twenty-six new faculty members and six adjunct professors. These appointments, covering seven different schools, were appointed by the universities Board of Trustees for the 1981-82 school year. Numerous staff positions were also filled this semester ranging from Physical Plant operators to CAP Center advisors. In all, a total of 123 new faculty and staff members were hired. These new appointments include: Arts and Sciences James Adams, instructor, mathematics; Russell E. Bachert, Jr., assistant professor, Parks and Recreation Management; Dulce G.

Hopefully these new faculty members, especially new professors, will take their jobs seriously and do their best to provide us the quality education we deserve. They alone can determine what a student really learns. As students we should treat them with the respect due them because of their positions. Pet Problems by LARRY HARDIN Staff Writer If you have lost your dog on campus, that hairy outlaw that roams about WCU, you might want to make contact with Traffic and Security. There is a good chance that you will find your animal at the pound on campus for it is the policy of Western to pick up all unattended dogs. According to Dr. Carter, the Vice-Chancellor of Business Affairs, the main concern of the university with dogs is the health and safety of the students and residents of WCU. Dr. Carter and John McCracken, the Director of Business Affairs, talked about the canine problem on campus. Both were in agreement that Western was in an undesirable situation, but one that has to be dealt with immediately. Unattended dogs represent a problem for WCU in that the pound on campus is not meant to be an animal shelter but, rather, a place of detention. In most cases the owners contact Traffic and Security to find out if their dog is at the pound, located behind Reid Gym. If so, they simply pay the fee (not a fine according to Mr. McCracken), pick up the dog, and that is the end of it. This fee is a flat sum of five dollars. It covers the feeding and the care of the animal while it is being held. If an animal goes unclaimed, then the Traffic and Security Office makes every attempt to find the rightful owner. The policy has been that the owner has five days in which to claim the animal. At the end of the five day period. Traffic and Security attempts to find a new owner for the dog. This is done through personal contacts and with the help of the Animal Relief Fund (ARF) in Jackson County. Should the dog be injured or diseased, then a local vet is consulted. If any pet has not been claimed, or if no new owner is found, or if the animal is diseased, then it is the policy that the animal be put to sleep. Both Dr. Carter and Mr. McCracken voiced that this was an unfortunate situation but the county does not have an animal shelter so there are few choices to be considered. Dr. Carter did say that Jackson County was aware of the problem and was seeking answers. Mr. McCracken also felt that some sort of ordinance was needed dealing with stray dogs in the county. Having pets while a resident of the dorms is a campus no-no and according to Dr. Carter, a very unkind act. Every break the campus must deal with dogs that have been left on their own with no means of feeding themselves. Dr. Carter said that to casually care for a stray dog may seem kindly but the dog develops a dependence on that care. He added that to see these dogs during holidays, breaks, even on weekends, trying to fend for themselves is a very heart-rending sight. So if you come up missing that shaggy friend, check with Traffic and Security. Remember also that any dog found on campus unattended will be considered a stray and will be picked up. If you have to bring your dog to campus, then do not let it roam astray. It may wind up in the pound.
