  • The estern Carolinian Volume 54, Number 15 VOICE OF THE STUDENTS i i iu I >88 28723 Briefs Governor Jim Martin announced today he would not call a special legislative session to ease the prison population problem. Martin says legislation is needed to prevent dangerous inmates from being released to curb the prison population, but he says a special lenisla- tive session won't significantly help the problem. A New York contractor today identified 38 percent of North Carolina's land area as potentially suitable for a low- level radioactive waste facility that would open in 1993. But the state low- level radioactive waste management authority says that's not to be considered an identification of sites. In maps provided by Ebasco services, Inc., coastal counties appeared least likely to host a facility. But the company did not provide a list of any counties that might be completely excluded. President-elect George Bush is mending fences again. He had lunch with campaign rival Jesse Jackson. The two exchanged compliments. With Bush saying Jackson had some very good ideas and that there'll be times he'll ask for suggestions. Jackson says he's impressed with Bush's openess to discuss a wide range of issues. The meeting came two days after Bush met with former rival Bob Dole and two days before a meeting with another opponent, Michael Dukakis. Denver residents have something to celebrate. For the first time in at least 13 years, the city has met federal clean-air standards. Officials are crediting the weather for the improvement and not motorists driving habits. The national weather service says the system responsible for the clean air usually reaches Denver just a few winters each decade. As three groups bid for control of R.J.R Nabisco Incorporated, the group that's now managing the company has upped the ante. The management group now says it's willing to offer 108 a share, or a total of more than 24.3 billion dollars What's Inside? Printers donated to Business Dept Where Does Food Come From? Nelson Speaks to WCU Counselor's Corner Health Dept. News Ski Slopes Open Exam Relief All-Conference Team Selected Men's Basketball home opener WCU Outreach Students Present Workshop For Med-Tech Society bv Christine Faris NEWS EDITOR Just previous to Thanksgiving break, two WCU part-time students pursuing baccalaureate degrces through the campus' Outreach Program undertook a bit of role-reversal. Alice Salthouse of Valdese and Karen Sprouse of Morganton impersonated teachers one afternoon. Their "students" were members of the North Carolina Society for Medical Technology. Sprouse and Salthouse, both of whom hold full-time jobs in physician's office laboratories while enrolled in medical technology courses at night, offered a three-hour workshop at the society's fall meeting a few weeks ago in Boone. According to Dan Southern, director of Western's medical technology program, "It's quite an honor for student to be asked to give papers at a state meeting. Usually seasoned professionals are the ones asked to speak." Southern explained that the workshop was "an abbreviated version of an all-day session" the students presented last fall as a senior project for a laboratory management course. For the first workshop, Sprouse and Salthouse presented information with other lab technicians from Lenoir, Hickory, and KAto Pizza Hut Receives Grade "A" Morganton Included in the presentation were topics dealing with new federal regulations for doctor's office labs, methods and techniques, and quality control. "The doctor's offer lab technicians appreciated what Alice and Karen had to say because it was coming from people with a better understanding of the reality of working in a doctor's lab," said Southern. "They don't want to hear a university profes- sortalking about working in a doctor's office lab. They would rather hear it from their peers, from someone working in an actual office lab." "It's one thing to teach medical technology practices in a classroom, but it's another thing when you get into the real world," concluded Southern. Both Salthouse and Sprouse plan to complete their studies and receive their degrees in August, 1989. WCU's Outreach Program is advantageous to medical records and medical laboratory workers in Western North Carolina in that it is designed to improve their knowledge and complete degree requirements without forcing them to leave their jobs and families to attend college. The program is offered through Western's School of Nursing and Health Sciences.

According to Chris Henley, a KA brother, "Doug Henderson, the fraternity Vice-President, initiated the idea of a community service project by collecting conned goods for the needy." Members of the fraternity and the sorority will collect these canned goods at the Ramsey Center's three gates until half-time. The organization which turns in the most canned goods will receive a prize of $50.00. Not only will the students at Western have a chance to win a prize, but anyone who is under the age of 18, is not a WCU student, and gives at least four canned goods gets into the game for free. Henley said, "Throughout the year wc sort of forget about those in need and when Christmas season comes we tend to remember what we're grateful for and then After weeks of struggle and over $33,000 in remodeling and improvements, the Cullowhee Pizza Hut has re-achieved a sanitation grade A, and now that manager Nelson Hanak has got the grade up to par, it's going to stay there. "When we received our C rating, I had been there only two weeks," said Hanak. "It made me more conscientious as to what needed to be done." "He (Hanak) is really working with us," said Mack Dendy, Environmental Health Supervisor for the Jackson Co. Health Department. What's more, under Hanak the Cullowhee Pizza Hut has recently received the number one "Quality, Service, and Cleanliness" award for all the Pizza Huts operated by Rage Incorporated. Following the article published in the Carolinan concerning Pizza Hut's sanitation grade C, the Cullowhee Pizza Hut experienced about a $5,000 a week drop in business, but within the past week business has gone up. Hanak had understood what needed to be done, but not how to do it. Once Hanak was instructed on proper methods for cleaning by Jackson Co. Health officials, he made the neces- (Brad Kimzey photo) sary changes. Some adjustments in staff were made to ensure that proper sanitation and cleaning is continued. In order to avoid hurried clean-ups, the students that work at Pizza Hut are no longer scheduled for late hours on school nights; instead, the management staff is responsible for closing duties. "We have been up 'til four in the morning getting this place fixed up," Hanak said. The two major problems at the Cullowhee Pizza Hut were the condition of the dumpster and a residue in the sanitation sinks. Pizza Hut will acquire a new dishwasher in the near future, but in the mean time, it has solved the dish sanitation problem another way. The residue in the sink stemmed from the lime content of the local water. When the lime comes in contact with grease, a residue forms quicker and is more difficult to clean because it hardens. To combat this problem, Rage Incorporated installed a new filter system which draws the lime out of the water. As a result, ice tea sales have boosted. "With all the scrutinization they're getting right now," said Dendy, "That's probably one of the best places to eat." Doug Henderson we're able toshow our gratefulness through giving what we have in excess." The members of KA and Phi Mu hope that the outcome of the fundraiser will show the people in this are "tha: there is a group out there that does care about the less fortunate." The WCU Cats will play Mars Hill this evening at 7:30. Chancellor Coulter Elected Chairman of AASCU Lady Cats Win Season Opener Western Carolina University Chancellor Myron L. Coulter was elected chairman of the board of directors of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities Tuesday at the annual AASCU conference in Baltimore. One of the nation's largest higher education associations, AASCU is made up of more than 370 colleges and universities in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands. Long a leader in AASCU, Coulter was secretary-treasurer from 1984 to 1987 and a director from 1981 to 1984. Coulter's wife, Barbara, will become responsible for the extensive AASCU "Spouses Program" that is conducted in collaboration with AASCU activities, meetings, and seminars. Coulter will be a principal spokesman on national higher education issues, presenting AASCU's views on congressional activities and legislation that could affect higher education. Along with the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges and the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges, AASCU is recognized as one of the three major components of public higher education. William H. Plemmons, the late president of Appalachian State University, was AASCU chair in 1965; Albert N. Whiting, former North Carolina Central University Chancellor, was chair in 1974, and UNC-Charlotte Chancellor E.K. Fretwcll Jr. was chair in 1979. A native of Indiana, Coulter was president of Idaho State University for eight years before accepting the WCU chancellorship in 1984. Formerly, he held a variety of administrative and faculty positions at Western Michigan University and The Pennsylvania State University. He has extensive experience in international education and technical assistance projects and was a key speaker Monday at an AASCU session on international work, describing WCU's international activities and showing a film about them produced at Western.
