  • News The Western Carolinian Page - 2 Thursday, October 29, 1987 College Democrats Lose SGA Funds By MARY FLEMING News Editor A resolution passed Tuesday by the Student Government Association will result in at least one campus organization losing its funding, while establishing formal guidelines for campus clubs and organizations seeking SGA funding. Sponsored by SGA Vice-President Steven Sizemore, Senate Resolution 1220 will require student organizations seeking SGA funding to meet eligibilty requuirements. No formal, written guidelines exist at present for the recognition of campus clubs and organizations. Money used to fund SGA recognized clubs and organizations comes in part from student fees and state taxes. To preclude possible illegalities in the disbursement of SGA funds, S.R. 1220 will require that in addition to having elected or appointed officers, meeting on a regular basis, ensuring non-discriminatory membership requirements and raising money on their own, clubs and organizations must have an official, politically non-partisan constitution and not support any political party. Because of the stipulation that organizations receiving funding not supporr any poiiTical party. The College Democrats, a WCU student organization .will lose all future funding. Monies approved for and received by the organization for the 1987-88 school year will be the last supplied by the SGA. William Latimer, associate professor of Political Science , advisor to the SGA and former advisor to The College Republicans, became aware of the approved funding of The College Democrats approximately one month ago. He advised the SGA that funding any politically associated organization was, in his words, "totally improper and may be illegal." Although not intending to pursue the legal aspects of the partisan group's present financing, Latimer was prepared to resign as SGA advisor In the event that S.R. 1220 was not passed and The College Democrats, The College Republicans or any other politically affiliated group were to receive future funding. 'No politically partisan organization should receive subsidy from student funds," he said. 'It is in violation of the spirit If not the letter of the law." James Bennett, Vice-President of The College Democrats, believes that the resolution was a "sour-grapes" retaliation by The College Republicans. "The issue of funding should have been raised lastyearwhen budgets were submitted," he said. "Because the Republicans were apathetic and lazy, and didn' t submit their budget in time for approval, we got money and they didn't. The resolution makes a mockery of the system. Peole within the SGA were manipulated because of The College Republicans lack of effort." "There was no meeting, no vote and no request for funding by The College Republicans," explained Latimer, "for 20 years we have adamantly opposed funding from any outside source on the grounds that it is not only improper, but it also endangers the club's independence from the funding source." Carl Brickman, a former president of The College Republicans applied for SGA funding last Spring without the knowledge or consent of the other members. The request was withdrawn when other members of The College Republicans were made aware of the request. Mark Weaver, President of The College Democrats, was advised by Latimer to not seek funding. "On more than one occasion," Latimer said," I expallned to Weaver the impropriety of outside funding. He wanted the money from SGA, however and chose to disregard the advise." The College Democrats are willing to solicit future monies from other sources but Bennett protests the resolution's results. "It's not the money," he said. "That's immaterial. It's the principal. Each club, regardles of political affiliation, should get the same amount of money." Crum Scholarships Announced For Math and English Majors The Joseph U. and Mabel Tyree Crum Scholarship Fund to benefit students pursuing careers in mathematics and English has been established through Western Carolina University's Development Foundation. The fund was established in recognition of the two deceased professors' life-long careers in education and service to WCU. Joseph U. Crum was a native of Greenville, TN, and lived in Jackson County for 40 years. He was a professor of mathematics at Western for 20 years before retiring in 1969. Mabel Tyree Crum was a native of Graves County, KY, and lived In Jackson County for 49 years. She joined the WCU faculty in 1938 and was head of the department on English when she retired in 1970. Crum died in September of 1985 and Mrs. Crum died in July of 1986. The scholarship fund bearing their names was established Through the Joseph U. Crum estate and memorials on behalf of the two. The fund currently totals more than $76,000. The Crum scholarships will provide continuing support for undergraduate students majoring in mathematics and English at WCU. Applicants must be at least in the sophomore year of study and will be selected on their academic achievement and promise of continued success, participation in school activities and overall social and civic contribution. The scholarships are for one academic year, but may be renewed by students who continue to meet the above criteria and maintain a 3.0 QPR. Additional information on the Crum scholarships may be obtained by contacting the WCU Development Office at 227-7164. NEW CO-ED HOUSING PROGRAM ANNOUNCED FOR HONOR STUDENTS Every year the subject of co-ed dorms arises on campus and this yearWCU's Housing Departmentis making adecision. Randy Rice, director of housing, stated that a proposal for a living/learning program for the Honor Students is currently being discussed. Rice believes the proposal will be approved by the end of the semester and would take effect Fall 1988. Of the 16 universities in the NC system, 11 have some sort of co-ed housing, usually for Honor Program students. Rice said that part of a resident hall would be used as a co-ed dormitory for 198 Honor Students. Rice added that co-ed housing would give students more responsibility and he foresees no security problems. WCU's summer school program already implements co-ed housing. According to Rice, the proposal has evolved from student and staff Inquiry, and that he had no projection of enrollment changes due to a new co-ed housing policy. ...Continued From Front Page Junaluski A less obvious, but by no means less damaging form of pollution effecting Lake Junaluska is chemical dumping. Many firrrs in the area use Richland Creek cs a means of dumping waste. Rogers said that in recent years there las been a greater awareness of this problem, and, in turn, a crackdown on those businesses guilt/ of causing such pollution. But nei her the state nor the county agencies which handle Issues of this type possess adequate manpower to inspect possible violators. Rogers said that stricter en- formement by the porper authorities of ordinances which make such pollution illegal is vital in making any improvements whatsoever in this situation. When Lake Junalusska is full of water, it is, upon mere sight, absolutely beutiful, and seemingly harmless. But the harm does indeed exist, and in its present barren state, the lake makes it impossible for anyone who visits Lake Junaluska to overlook or ignore the pollution problem. Said one elderly lady taking a stroll around the lake, "We think it's ugly." It's about time som- enone noticed.
