  • I olume 54, Number 23 Briefs Chicago's Mayor-Elect is vowing to reunite his racially divided city. Richard Daley won election yeasterday in voting that ended six years of black political control in Chicago. Daley says he will incorporate the openness and fairness the late Mayor Harold Washington talked about. April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. First Lady Barbara Bush kicked it off yesterday, saying all of us can and must fight child abuse, a number of celebrities are joining the First Lady in trying to make Americans more aware of child abuse. A Businessman who was shot in the stomach and thigh during a robbery attempt in Fay- etteville at his business last May says he used his belt and a stick to fashion a tourniquet until help arrived. Charles Fuller yesterday identified defendant Glenn Williams as the man who came into Fuller Oil company last May asking for a job application. Fuller said Williams then opened fire with a 38-Caliber after Fuller told him he had no openings. The 26-year-old Williams is on trial in Cumberland County superior Court on charges of conspiracy to commit armed robbery, attempted armed robbery and two counts of assault. He could be sentenced up to 80 years in prison. e stern mian OF THE STUDENTS Phone What's Inside?

After a WCU spring football practice session last Wednesday afternoon, Athletic Director Bob Setzer personally invited Coach Waters to his office in the Ramsey Center for an open discussion concerning the decision. While in the privacy of Setzer's office, Waters received the letter of reassignment. The letter, signed by WCU Chancellor Myron Coulter, told Waters that as of April 14 he would be forced to resign his position as head football coach and be reassigned as Associate Athletic Director, retaining his current salary. As of press time Waters had not accepted the offer. Waters would reportedly serve "al the discretion of the chancellor or the chancellor's designee" and would continue to receive state benefits and his current $73,044 salary. Support came quickly from ilic student body and football players, who began to circulate petitions before the end of the day. At an open press confer- Angela Benson is Crowned Miss Catamount ence held by Chancellor Coulter last Thursday, WCU football player Andy Shultz presented Coulter with a signed petition in support of keeping Waters in his present capacity for one more season. The petition was not enough. At the press conference, Coulter read a prepared statement. He credited a lack of leadership with completing his decision. "The loss of leadership began showing itself in the second half of the season. I had the feeling that leadership did not appear to , be present longer...the necessary level of Continued, See Waters Page 19 jffiH Miss Catamount 1989, Angela Benson is a graduate student from Cullowhee working on her Master's degree in Business Administration. She was sponsored by Walker Dorm Housing Staff ■SlrfT M**on photo> by Andrea Oakes STAFF WRITER Hamer and Taylor Take Office; Students are Urged to Get Involved by Christine Faris NEWS EDITOR Brent Taylor and Bob Harrier's victories in this year's Student Government Association's presidential and vice-presidential elections were made official last Thursday night when Taylor was sworn in as 1489-90 SGA president and 1 lamer as vice-president. The ceremony was held at the Catamount Inn and both officially took office after a dinner beginning at 7 p.m. Taylor, who has served as Interftateniity Council President and SGA senate president pro-tcm, feels that he won the election primarily on his campaign platform of re-establishing the Stray Cats program, an on- campus security service. "With all the feedback I've had, it is apparent that the students want to see the program come back," said Taylor. He is currently working with Gene McAbee, director of Traffic and Security, in appointing a director for the service. According to Hamer, who has served as Student Government Chairman and Leather- wood Senate Representative, although he and Taylor have only four weeks until this semester's end, they expect to "conduct a test run of the service by the end of April." Hamer explained that Stray Cats will be an on-foot patrolling service, primarily covering the parking lots and other dimly-lit campus areas nightly from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. SGA swears in new officers. From left: Jim Saltz, President; Brent Taylor, Preident-Elect; Bob Hamer, Vice-President-Elect; and Jeff Stowe, Vice-President (JelT Mason photo) "Because visitation hours end at midnight during the week and the library closes at 12:30 a.m., technically everybody should be inside by 1 a.m.," said Taylor, explaining the designated patrolling hours. Other goals Taylor and Hamer arc working toward include the printing of Bi-Weekly events calendars to be mailed to students and placed on commuter's cars, the publication of campus phone directories to come out in the fall instead of spring semester, the appointing of a club and organizational head to assist and promote WCU's approximate 120 clubs, and the implementation of food service re search so that recommendations can be made to the administration. "To make these ideas realities, we need the students' help," said Taylor, explaining that he is the official liason between the student body and the administration. "I can't help make any changes if the students don't voice their ideas and tell me what changes to make," he maintained. Hamer stands firm with Taylor on this issue. "I want the student body to get word that SGA is here for its benefit and that Brent and I can't exert the pressure necessary to pass resolu tions, if we don't know what it is the students want to see resolved." According to Taylor, he will make it easy forthe students to air their ideas by extending his office hours into the evenings, by installing an answering machine in the SGA office, and by opening himself to campus radio and newspaper interviews. He also maintains that he will be happy to speak at various club and organizational events. Hamer plans to involve the students by making certain they arc aware of who the senate representatives are. "I don't know if everybody realizes that each dorm has at least two senate representatives," he said. "When students have a complaint, all they have to do is tell one of these representatives," he explained. "Then, the proposal is sent to us, reviewed by the senate, and finally we send it to the administration." Hamer said that if the students will take advantage of this system, "things will get accomplished." Both Taylor and Hamer feel they will accomplish all they've set out to, especially if they are successful in their student involvement goal. "The administration, SGA, and the students all need to pull together and make Western the leader in the next 100 years," said Taylor. "We have the opportunity to do so but need the students' help," he stated, elaborating again on the need for student involve- Thc 1989 "Miss Catamount" pageant was held on Wednesday, March 29 at 8:00 in the Ramsey Regional Activity Center. Among the 21 contestants, the judges chose Angela Benson, a 22-year-old graduate student from Cullowhee, as the winner. Sponsored by Pi Kappa Alpha, Phi Mu and Coca-Cola, the event is in its second year since its founding last year by Susan Brannon and Terry Xan- thos. Directed, this year, by Susan Brannon and Brian Poo re, the pageant raised money for Bob Waters-ALS Research and the "Jeff White Memorial Scholarship Fund". Approximately 300 people attended the event and contributed to the donations and scholarship. The pageant, not affiliated with the "Miss North Carolina" pageant, consisted of four competitions. The first, interview, took place before the onstage competition started and counted 40 percent of the total score. The next competition, sportswear, counted 20 percent of each contestant's score as did swimwear and evening gown. Special entertainment was provided by Donna Faye Pitman, the Kappa Step Show and Angela Lyon-"Miss Catamount 1988". Pitman, a freshman from Conover, NC, sang the tune "Looking Through the Eyes of Love". As an experienced singer, Donna has performed in restaurants, variety shows, weddings, and has the opportunity to perform at Carowinds this summer. The Kappa Step Show was performed by the members of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity and is mainly done during Kappa Continued, See Pageant page 3
