Briefs Jim and Tammy Bakker say they just need a small amount — about $80,000 by Friday — to stay on the air. The Bakkers said yesterday a woman who promised $50,000 to keep the Jim and Tammy show on the air for the first 30 days never followed through with the donation. The head of a task force that studied infant mortality in North Carolina says a $5,000,000 dollar statewide prenatal program would save taxpayers in the long run. Sarah Morrow says the program could include sending four obstetrics teams to rural sections of the state to make sure adequate prenatal care is being provided. Health officials in the Asheville area aren't calling it an epidemic, but they say an outbreak of influenza is widespread. A survey by the Buncombe County Health Department finds absentee rates at many area schools as high as 20%. What's Inside? Paul Reid Awards Computer in Walker College Republicans in D.C. Movie Review Hats Off to Poss'Pit Jesus Christ Superstar Inauguration editorial Alumni Tower Mice and Men aro winds jobs Tesla Review Interview with Gene McAbee EMT Recognition Counselor's Corner Cats to play Mountaineers Cats Win Two on Road David Donerlson- Southern Conference Player of the Week Tennessee Authorities Theaten To Shut Down Champion Champion officials to meet with EPA this week by Martha McAfee EDITOR Ten months ago, Canton's Champion International Plant agreed on a Pigeon River clean-up comprise with Tennessee. However, the comprise was not successfully met by both parties, and the dispute continues. Champion's paper mill, the largest in Western North Carolina, is operated on a small river which feeds into Tennessee's Pigeon River. Tennessee state officials have complained that the river shows a color differentiation which they considered "pollution" caused by Champion. At present, Champion employs 1,961 workers with 209 of them working at the Waynesville converting mill. "We would like to keep both plants open," says David Craft, Regional Public Affairs Director for Champion. "But there will have to be a reduction of at least 1,000 employees for us to meet the Tennessee color standards." The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is scheduled to meet with Champion this week to hear their plea. Craft says they would like a second negotiation of 3-5 years to see if they can meet the color standard 100% of the time. Champion President L.C. Heist met with the EPA last Wednesday and asked if they would issue a permit that will not force a sudden shut down. North Carolina Governor Jim Martin wants to target Haywood County with job fairs, state-funded industrial recruiters and job retaining through the community colleges. Chris Stevens, 23, a recent WCU graduate, has organized what he calls "SAFE in Haywood County": Stop Annihilation of Everyone. Stevens has a father and two brothers employed with Champion mill. He hopes to draw attention to the seriousness of this issue to Tennessee Governor Ned McWherter by candlelight vigils and letter writing campaigns. David Craft spoke on his opinion, "It's unfair, unreasonable; Tennessee's position does not make common sense." He says that Champion has offered Tennessee a $350 million expansion to redesign the mill and bring in more tecltnology. Champion calls this operation their Modernization Program. "They would not give us the lime to do what's right," says Craft. Now mill workers and other N.C. state residents are finding ways to fight back. A Canton radio disk jockey broadcasted Tennessee Gov. Ned McWherter's phone number and encouraged Champion supporters to phone the governor. Tennessee state press officials spoke on behalf of Gov. McWherter and said, "His number one concern is to clean-up the Pigeon River. He regrets the number of jobs that will be lost and the economic impact it will have on the area. But the governor feels this could have been taken care of years ago." Authorities say that Gov. McWherter is Athletic Director, Terry Wanless Resigns His Position Immunization for Measles: A Serious Responsibility Terry Wanless, Western Carolina University's Directorof Athletics for the past two and one-half years, has resigned to 'pursue opportunities in other areas". Wanless, 41, came to WCU in July, 1986 fromTowson State University where he had served in several capacities since 1973, including assistant athletics director, interim athletics director and assistant football coach. He announced his resignation late last Friday afternoon after consulting with Dr. Myron L. Coulter, Chancellor of West- em Carolina University. Coulter says that Wanless will be named a special assistant to the chancellor and work in the university's department of development and special services for an undetermined period of time. The timetable for Wanless' departure from the athletics department will be determined in the near future, according to Coulter. Coulter says WCU will conduct an internal search for a new director of athletics. "It is the intent first to look for interested and qualified candidates within the university. If that process is productive, it will not be necessary to engage in a wider search," stated Coulter. The deadline for internal applications is February 10. Wanless succeeded Bob Waters as WCU's AD in July, 1986. Waters, who is suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, relinquished /*\^0»> his athletics director's duties after 15 years to concentrate his efforts on the school's head football coach and still serves that position. "I would like to pursue opportunities in other areas," said Wanless. "My goal is to look at other institutions hopefully in the near future. My decision is not based on any particular thing at Western Carolina, but is based on my future goals and directions. My attempt to pursue these goals is best served by my decision to step down at this time." Wanless is a native of Highmore, South Dakota. He is a 1969 graduate of Black Hills State College. He earned his masters degree from Northern Illinois in 1973 and received his doctorate in athletic administration administration from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA in 1985. by Martha McAfee EDITOR Several WCU students will be suspended from classes today if they didn't get their measles shots. A student from Greensboro was dismissed on Monday for having the first diagnosed case. Immunization procedures for students began Monday in Graham Infirmary. The university is contacting students and staff bom on and since January 1, 1957 advising them that they must be immunized, or show proof of immunization. Glen W. Stillion, vice chancellor for student development said state law requires that students, faculty, and staff members immunized for red measles prior to 1969 and/or prior to age 15 months must be reim- munized. State law orders the suspension from classes, campus activities and residence halls of persons failing to comply, according to Donald P. O'Neal, directorof WCU University Health Services. Fantastic Hair Signs Display Obscene Language by Colin Burch STAFF WRITER Perhaps you have noticed some strange things spelled out on the sign in front of Fantastic Hair near Cullowhee Quick-Stop. Apparently someone has been stealing and rearranging the letters on the sign. "It's really embarrassing," said Judy Cohen, one of the stylist at Fantastic Hair. Cohen also said that on a couple of occasions, the sign has been re phrased to say "nasty things." "They are expensive letters," said Cohen. If someone is caught stealing or practicing creative prose with t.he letters on the signs, he will be brought under charges of vandalism, according to the magistrate in Sylva. Fantastic Hair has asked the Sheriff to patrol the area after closing hours since there have been rumors of other signs being vandalized. NOW THIS WON"T HURT A BIT- Lynn Scar brough of Haywood County Health Department administers a vaccine to Stephanie Hughbanks, a freshman from Graham. Waiting for their turns are, left to right, the Cat (WCU mascot); Bob Herring, a graduate student from Forest City; and Mike Hall, a graduate student from Franklin.
