New construction taking place in Jackson County David McCaskill News Writer Recently there has been some construction across the road from Jackson Plaza (Roses, Bi-Lo shopping center) and at the junction of Speedwell Road and Highway 107. The site across from Jackson Plaza is going to be the new Jackson County Justice Center and wili house various administrative offices. The cost of this project is approximately $5 million and will be 53,000 square feet. "The old courthouse has beeri there since 1913 and is on the register for historic buildings, so it will not be torn down," says Wayne Hooper, Chairman of the County Board of Commissions. The building will still be used for the District Attorney's office and the Occupational Safety Commission. The new Justice Center is scheduled for completion in approximately two to three years. The other project is the new Cullowhee K-8 school which will replace the old Camp Lab below the white building. The new school will cost 6.5 million dollars and will be done by the 1994-95 school year. "There is an agreement between the Board of Governors of N.C. and the Jackson County Board of Education that the school will be off Western's campus by January 1, 1994," according to the Jackson County Superintendent's office. "A decision has not yet been made as far as what we are going to use it for but it will probably be used for continuing education programs, storage space for Mountain Heritage Day supplies, or for art studios," says Jim Culp, Physical Plant Director. Availability of funds is also a contingent factor. SGA Senate Reports Due to the fact that SGA did not have a quorum at the March 17 meeting, Vice President Cole Wildman called roll and dismissed the senators. "B y next week the first resolution will be to get rid of those sena tors that never come," said Wildman. Wildman said next week's meeting should be busy with four resolutions on the table. Wildman suggested that the senators bring any other new resolutions to that meeting also.

Nc \ \ I I I I Asheville area, an egg drop contest, and monthly meetings with guest speakers from people in the industry, such as Fiber Optics and Machine Tool Codings. "The guest speakers we have keep us up to date on changes in these fields," said Wanigasekera. "This and our meetings with our parent chapter, which is made of current employees in the field, are both good chances for our members to make job-related connections." Each member of SME receives an SME magazine and the national organization offers a test that members can take in order to be recognized as a Manufacturing Engineer. "Next year we'd like to ask the parent chapter to come and tour our facilities at WCU, but that is still being worked out," said SME Vice President, Bill Hawkins. Wanigasekera predicts a popular future for the careers involved in SME. "These majors involved are very good. Salaries and job outlook are both good and it's growing," said Wanigasekera. She attributes the positive field outlook to today's need for time efficiency. "We will have jobs because of new products, technology, and the modern conveniences that our society needs," said Wanigasekera. SME is now accepting new members of all majors.
