  • 6 Western Carolinian April 18, 1985 Features President's Corner This year's Student Government Association hosted one of the most competitive and successful elections in recent history. More than 1,350 students turned out to vote - differing, of course, with regards to their choice of candidates yet united in their declaration that the highly touted "apathy syndrome" is only a scapegoat for troublesome issues and unanswered questions on Western's campus. I want to thank all of those Senators and staff members who attended the polls, all the students who voted, and especially the candidates whose hard work was chiefly responsible for the high turnout. I wish to congratulate Mr. Davis and Clark for their successful campaigns. I will print now publicly what I have said to Mr. Davis more than once privately: More than a year ago I stated that my first obligation was to the students of this University. I stand firm in that resolve. I will do everything within my power to assure the smooth changeover of administrations and to put them on solid footing for a successful year. I desire for the Student Government Association to be better and stronger than ever next year; and in good spirits I challenge Mr. Davis to meet or surpass the standards set this year by our administration. The President-elect and I spent last Thursday and Friday in Raleigh at the UNCASG Board of Directors meeting. Topics of discussion included the Governor's tuition increase proposal, coed dormitories, raising the drinking age, cuts in federal aid for college loans, and so on. We met with UNC President William Friday on Thursday but our meeting with Governor Martin on Friday was cancelled due to his having to survey the fire damage in Burke County. We met instead with one of his assistants and voiced our concerns. In times of extended turmoil emotions flare and convictions are forged into perpetually burning spirits. In the eyes of many, it is the application of those spirits that justifies or condemns the original turmoil. We learn and we grow through conflict, and it is my greatest desire at this time to see us benefit from our own internal conflicts and to become stronger through them - otherwise they are useless and destructive. Elections, by their very nature, will divide a people. Now that ours are over it is time to reunite behind our new leaders and help them to keep the fire burning. Robert R. Edwards Student Body President Panhellenic Report The 1985 Panhellenic Council spent the past weekend at the Southeastern Panhellenic Conference in Gainesville, Florida on the University of Florida campus. Although the weather was similar to the Cullowhee rain season, the new Panhellenic officers kept busy by attending various workshops aimed at a productive Fall semester with the different sororities. This year's officers were excited at the new ideas for the Western Carolina Greek system. Over one hundred schools and six hundred women attended the conference and the workshops concerning scholarship, rush, leadership, academic and school burnout, community service, women in leadership positions and public relations. This year's Panhellenic Council includes Audrey McAllister, president, (Phi Mu); Lisa Preston, vice-president, (Sigma Kappa); Lynne Chiger, secretary, (Delta Zeta); Ann Marie Sparlin, treasurer, (Alpha Xi Delta); Suzie Thurman, activities, (Zeta Tau Alpha); and Lisa Lettieri, parlimentarian, (Alpha Chi Omega). The Inter-Fraternity Council, in conjunction with the Panhellenic Council,, js: planning the second annual Greek Awards Banquet, one of the highlights of the past Spring semester. Various awards will be presented to the fraternities and sororities, including best chapter, best scholarship and best athletics. This semester has been one of the most productive and most encouraging with the new Panhellenic Council. All officers are looking to one of the best Fall semesters ever with the ever- improving Greek systems. The rapport between sororities is improving as well as the cooperation between the sororities and fraternities on campus. These improving relations coupled with the new ideas from the Southeastern Conference should prove to be a strengthened Panhellenic system in the Fall.
