  • Volume 56 Number 19 News Thr n,.rf>ffl Carolinian Page 2 -Thursday, February 21, iaai Southern Cal players cheated on drug tests, paper says LOS ANGELES, Calif. (CPS) - University of Souther California football players regularly cheated on their drug tests, with some students selling their "clean" urine to drug-using athletes for $45- $50 a vial, the Los Angeles Times reported Feb. 2. Most of the players, the paper added, were trying to conceal cocaine use, not the use of steroids. Players would conceal a bag of "clan" urine in their pants and then, using surgical tubing, empty thecontents into specimen cups as USC officials unknowingly watched, one "former linebacker"told reporters. ROTC to close on at least 17 campuses ■ n WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS) - Citing budget concerns and denying worries about campus hostilities to its anti-homosexual policies were involved, the Navy announced it would stop enrolling new Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) students after next September at five campuses, and consolidate ROTC units at 12 others. ROTC programs at Texas Tech University and the universities of Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico and Utah will be closed , a ROTC spokesman said Feb. 1. ROTC programs at some other individual campuses will be closed and consolidated intoeight "geographic consortia" in Boston, Chicago, the Research Trinangle in North Carolina, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Houston and a site, to be named later, in either Tennessee or Mississippi. Students win aid for community college students SRINGFIELD , 111. (CPS) - The Illinois state legislature agreed to extend an inventive scholarship program - to which students themselves make voluntary con tributions that are then matched by the state - to community col leges, David starrett of the Illinois Student Association said. Starrettcrcditcd student lobbying for convincing Icgisla tors to override a gubernatorial veto of the measure to let two- year campus students participate in the program for the first time. Courtesy CollegePress Service Student Senate reports JeffDeMoe Staff Writer The Student Senate met Tuesday and discussed old business of the changing of the street lights and the parking situation. The resolution proposing the changing of the street lights from the orange tint to white light failed. A new resolution was submitted sponsored by Senator Jim Jones as "being an act to improve residence parkingatMadison Dorm." Resolution 1402 proposed changing "commuter parking spaces in Joyner plaza and in the road between Madison and Moore be changed to residential parking spaces to accommodate Madison residents." Another resolution concerning recycling was submitted by Vice-President Chris Kallao. Resolution 1403 proposed "an act to develop a formidable recycling system on Western Carolina University's campus." This resolution was submitted to the University Services committee for further development and discussion. The meeting adjourned for the week. The next meeting will be on Tuesday, February 26 at4:30p.m. Chris Kallao, Vice-President of SGA and President of the Public Safety Reports Jeff DeMoe Staff Writer Public Safety has had its hands full this semester, and traffic fines aren't the only thing keeping them busy. There have been a lot of arrests this semester, most of them due to continuing investigations. According to reports, on February 12 a staff member reported that her car was vandalized while parked at the Ramsey Center during a basketball game. Three days later, officers identified the culprit. There have been a few drug arrests, under-age alcohol possessions, and break-ins. All these arrests were made due to on-going investigations. On Friday, February 15, at 8:10 p.m., Public Safety arrested George Lee Wiggins III, a non-student trespassing in WalkerResidence Hall for committing an alleged sexual assault on his girlfriend, a resident in Walker. Wiggins was charged with first degree-rape and is being held in Jackson County Jail under a $53,000 bond. Wiggins faces a possible sentence of life imprisonment, Chief ■ McAbee said. One thing McAbee said that he'd like to see was for "everyone to realize that it is possible for crimes to happen here and take responsibility upon themselves to prevent crimes." He also added that two issues not likely to change were those discussed by SGA last week. He said, "to raise fines, you would need community support which would be unlikely." He sees some potential in raising fines "if it would allow us to have to give less parking tickets." He also added that changing some commuter spots up near the Moore building to resident spots for Madison was unlikely. The following incidents occurred on campus last week. On February 12, Public Safety officers and members of the Smoky Mountain United Narcotics Investigation team arrested one male student on nine counts of conspiracy to sell marijuana. One male student was arrested for simple possession of marijuana. Both arrests were the result of an on-going investigation. Also on the twelfth, officers confiscated a weapon from a non-student who was found on campus at 2:05 a.m. The person is a student at Camp Lab School and had been warned earlier in the week. On the fourteenth officers apprehended two students for snowballing at Harrill dorm at 8:45 p.m. The students were referred to Student Development. On February 15, officers identified a male non-student who admitted to vandalizing a vehicle at the Ramsey Center during a WCU basketball game. Disposition is pending.

The stars come out Feb. 25 Want to take a live, close-up look at the moon, Jupiter, Mars or the Orion nebula? Well, the party's Thursday evening, Feb. 21. Professor Paul Heckert and Western Carolina University's department of chemistry and physics will host a "Star Party" at the WCU picnic area that evening beginning at 8 p.m. "Everyone is invited," Heckert said, "We will have several telescopes set up, and we plan to have an entertaining and informative evening." Heckert is an associate professor of physics and an accomplished astronomer and stellar researcher. He has been involved in research at several of the nation's foremost observatories and recently received a large grant for long-term study of continual changes in brightness of variable stars. The Star Party is free and is open to both adults and children, although young children should be accompanied by an adult. If the skies are cloudy or overcast, the Star Party will be held on Monday, Feb. 25, at 8 p.m. at the picnic area. Cold weather will not delay the event, so dress appropriately. To reach the WCU picnic area, turn left after entering campus through the main entrance off Highway 107. Take the first road to the left, cross Cullowhee Creek, and bear right to the end of the parking lot. The telescopes will be set up near the log cabin at the picnic area. For additional information, contact Heckert by telephone at 704-227-7260. Senate, is somewhat disappointed with the way things are going this semester. "There is not a lot of major changes that need to be made," Kal lao said. He thinks things are too slow. "There's not much controversy for us [the Student Senate] to get into." One thing that Kallao sees in the near future is a plan to restructure the SGA. He plans on eliminating some assistant positions and other positions, not because of poor job completion, but lack of things for these people to do. Kallao says that they're throwing money away on jobs that they don't need. He wants to consolidate the SGA by "eliminating the middle men. This will make the duties of each officer clear.". Like SGA President Andy Lambert, Kallao wants to see more student involvement. "If they [the students] want something done, they can come see me. My office is always open and if I can't help them, I'll send them to somebody who will."
