  • Western Carolinian Serving Western Carolina University Since 1935 Volume 48 Issue 18 January 26, 1984 Free mm Kahn Ready For Busy Spring" Monica Henson Editor-in-Chief I he Student Government Association has experienced some shifts and losses since the semester break, but with some quick thinking and reshuffling by president David Kahn the offices ol SGA are now bus} and ready for a new term. Among those positions opened were Attorney General, Public Defender. Director ol Legal Assistance and the position ol judicial assistant. Attorney General Larry Hamrick graduated in the tall, and Kahn replaced him with judicial assistant Sarah Calloway, a familiar face in the SGA offices for the past lew semesters. Calloway stated that she was very excited about the promotion, and has already moved into her new office. Kahn turned to another familiar face to fill Calloway's shoes in the judicial assistantship; Curt Salisbury, last year's judicial assistant, was chosen to resume that otliee lor the spring term. 66 In the past SGA officers have traditionally slacked off in the spring, knowing that the elections come up in April, but it's not going to he like that this time. 99 David Kahn One vacancy that did not come about because of graduation or promotion was that in the Public Defender's office. John Purvis resigned with no explanation, according to Kahn: "I came in tins semester and his key and letter of resignation were on my desk." However, the office will be filled by Rob Edwards, who had been serving as Director of Legal Assistance. Edwards' former office has been combined temporarily with that ol Director of Public Information, currently run by Mark Delk. In addition to those vacancies, Kahn remarked that there were the usual openings in the . Supreme Court, and perhaps there would be some losses in the TrafficCoiirt. He indicated that students interested in serving as justices were welcome to inquire at the SGA offices about those positions. Kahn also commented that SGA will be passing a very busy scnie*t«r this spring"in'the past SGA officers have traditionally slacked 'off in the spring, knowing that the elections come up m April..but it's not going to be like- that this time. I intend for this administration to work just as hard, if not harder, than we did last semester, and •', <- li Icte before April."Some of those projects include a survey; opinion poll to.be conducted as an information gathering assignment for future use; a planned revision of the budget appropriations process; and of course, the SGA campus- wide elections in April. Kahn is also serving on the Chancellor Search Committee, and will certainly be spending a great deal of time on that project.

Randolph-Pamfilis Team Providing Commentary Cat Basketball Network Resurrected, Functioning Activities Center To Be Named For N.C. Speaker Of House Heather Frey Staff Writer Since 1976 Western Carolina's basketball Catamounts have enjoyed play-by-play radio c'o-ver-age. However, at the start ol the 1983-84 season, this luxury came to a screeching halt. At the end of last semester, it didn't look as if there was going to be a basketball network for the Cats, as reported in Hie Western Carolinian. According to WCU Sports Information Director Steve White, the breakdown was due in part to confusion over who would be announcing the games. Dan Greene. owner of the WW IT station in Canton, and his partner Gary Melville had primarily been planning on covering the games themselves. Coach Steve Cottrell. on the other hand, had been under the impression that sportscaster Stan Pamfilis of WI,OS-TV would again be the announcer. When he found out differently, he voiced his disapproval. Greene iped their option to broadcast the games, saving it would be too difficult to work with a coach who didn't want them. Also, linaneial reasons were named by other sources as reasons why Pamfilis was not hired. Consequently. Cottrell was not surprised when his firm opinion resulted in Greene releasing the option to broadcast and cover the games. However, he thinks there's more to it than that. "1 don't think they cared too much about it," Cottrell explained, referring to the basketball network. "I just wasn't satisfied with it." Whatever the reasons, hv the ,start ■'ol the' 1983 -84 basketball season, the Catamounts were.silent on the airwaves. Here the athletic department stepped in, by request ol athletic director Bob Waters, and began working to sign up sponsors See NETWORK. Page 6 OPI - A $16 million multipurpose building under construction at Western Carolina University was recently named the 1 iston B. Ramsey Regional Activity Center. I he action to name the structure for the speaker of' the State House o I Representatives was taken bv the WCU board of trustees at its winter meeting. Ramsey's 44th Representative District includes Jackson County, in which WCU is located. He- has often been credited with obtaining major appropriations for WCU, and was praised especially for legislative actions making the new center possible. The proposal to name the building for Ramsev was made by Robert .1. McGinn Jr. of Lexington, chairman of t h e ■ p r o p e r t y a nd buildings committee, after the committee endorsed the move just prior to the the board session. The center, seating up to 8,700 persons, will be the largest facility on the WCU campus and the largest of its kind west of Charlottee. funds for the structure were appropriated by the 1981 General Assembly and allocated to the project by the University of North Carolina Board of Governors that same year. The versatile building will seat 8.000 lor basketball in the region's largest arena. liov cable curtains will create large auditoriums for stage and musical productions, facilities for workshops. conferences, conventions. and continuing education classes are included. Special areas for handball, television productions, volley ball, gymnastics, a rifle team range and an auxiliary gym also are included. A large outdoor ice skating rink is part of the project. Completion of the building, originally scheduled for late November 1984. may be delayed bv as much as six months, the board was told by Dr. C.J. Carter, vice chancellor for business affairs. Dr. H.F. Robinson, chancellor, and Carter said that efforts are now under wav to reschedule the December 1984 basketball game with N.C. State. originally planned as the opening of the center. That game may be rescheduled in the center in the fall of 1985. they said. Carter said a majoi source of the delay was removed recently when the general contractor signed up a new steel fabricator. Shipment of the steel and fabrication should be complete by late January. Erection of steel will occur as shipments are received. Carter said. In other action, the board named the West Wing ol Dodson Cafeteria for the late Mary Woods Flintom. Mrs. Flintom was in charge ol food services at the institution for several years beginning in 1915. The Mary Wo o d s F11 n t o m Scholarship . fund, estab- d by her children and other descendants in the WCU Development Foundation earlier this year, is providing scholarship awards for outstanding undergraduates at WCU. Phonathon '84 Shooting For $40,000 By March How Sweet It Was Photo By Mark Haskett After being denied the opportunity to tear down the goalpost after many Catamount wins, jubilant WCl fans were not to be stopped this time. The ( atamounts proved to be the real Southern Conference champions In defeating Turman 14-7 in a N( A A 1-AA semi-final championship game and the goalposts came down. Ian support was at an all-time high as Catamount backers packed the Paladin stadium, and cheered the Cats on to victory in a regionally televised game.

According to Jim Mcdlin. director of development, "• I Ins represents a fantastic 36 percent increase over last year's phonathon. and we are still counting!" Mcdlin said. "We have many volunteers to thank for their efforts in making Phonathon '83 a success, and we send our sincere thanks to all of you."
