Laughter/Elliot to head SGA Fowler and Johnson to direct Last Minute Productions in 1992-93 year Suzanne Kendall Kim Shively News Writers "This election resulted in the highest voter turn-out in the last five years," said Nolan Davis, Chairman of the Elections Commission. More than 1,100 people turned out for the election yesterday. Davis said this is the highest voter turn-out in regard to student body ratio in the state. "This proves that West- em students are not apathetic," said Davis. Winners for the 1992 student body elections are: Tommy Laughter, SGA President; Shannon Elliotts SGA Vice-President; Buffy Fowler, LMP President and Joanna M. Johnson, LMP Vice-President. The Stillion female award goes to AlisaWaerlop. The Stillion male award goes to John Connet. Davis said that this is a university wide achievement award backed by the Chancellor. Commuter senators elected include: Kerry Cumbee, Bryan Hewett, Barney S. Carolinian file photo Tommy Laughter CmoiintaM file photo Shannon Elliot Christner, Dave McCaskill, Jeremy Medlin and Cheryl Cheney. Buffy Fowler, the newly elected LMP President, said that she was impressed with the large voter turn-out. Fowler said, "I was very surprised that I won so I turned on the radio to make sure." Fowler said she felt that her campaigning won the race for her. Through her campaigning, she learned from students in the Hill Area that they want more to go on up there. Fowler would like to work with them on programs that would be more convenient for students in that area. Tommy Laughter, Shannon Elliott and Joanna M. Johnson were not available following the election for comment. In Davis' opinion this is the "cleanest" election of the six elections he has witnessed. Davis said he welcomes comments if there are any concerns regarding the election. Travis "challenged" as new Athletic Director Jimmy White Sports Writer Larry L. Travis was named the new director of athletics at Western Carolina University, according to an announcement made Apr. 2 by WCU Chancellor Myron L. Coulter. Travis comes to West- em from the U.S. Naval Academy where he was the associate director of athletics. Travis was an All Southeastern Conference Guard and All America Third Team in football in 1962 at the University of Florida where he earned his undergraudate and master's degrees. Travis also held coaching positions at Florida, Kansas, Mississippi, Louisville, and Georgia Tech. He held administrative positions at Georgia Tech where he was assistant director for personnel and administration in 1981 and was promoted to associate director for sports programs the following year. In 1985, Travis moved to Kansas State University as director of athletics where he was credited with helping to bring the school out of its financial problems. He joined the Naval Ath letics program in 1989. "I like a challenge," said Travis in a telephone interview Apr. 6. "There's no reason why we can't compete in the Southern Conference if we have a game plan." And that game plan, according to Travis, revolves around fundraising and marketing. "We have to put WCU out in front of the people," said Travis. "I got to go speak to the Rotary Club in Asheville. I got to go to Waynesville, Bryson City, and Franklin. We need to get more people to come to Cullowhee to see a game. People will help a program they can believe in." "At Kansas State, I drove 50,000 miles in one year and made over 200 speeches and I don't mind that. Wecan't spend all our resources in Charlotte because we can't expect to capture 50% of the market But I do think that we need a presence there. And we ought to capture 100% of the market in places like Sylva." "It's very satisfying See "Director" Pg. 2 WCU to hold 13th Annual International Festival From the world's exotic and magnificent to global challenges and opportunities, the emphasis will be on the international April 9-11 as Western Carolina University's 13th International Festival expands fora three- day International Celebration.
