'estem Caroumn 30 September 1QQQ lt/l/u Cullowhee, NC The Voice of the Catamounts Volume 59 Number 6 Faculty, students meet for 'bitch' session Jordana Stephens Staff Reporter A gripe session was held from seven to nine Tuesday evening in the main lobby of Buchanan hall. The goal was to address and to solve some of the problems facing people at WCU. The session was arranged by a group called Western After Hours which is sponsored by the Faculty Center for Teaching Excellence. The people involved in Western After Hours try to hold informal gatherings of faculty, staff and students once a month outside the classroom. This is the third year this program has existed. Included in the discussion were six members of faculty and staff. Six students alsoattended—two graduate and four undergraduate. Most students were required to attend the discussion, but many became interested in the gripes and in Western After Hours. The faculty came to the session with a list of gripes. Their list included parking, service on campus, smoking, sidewalk painting, accessibility of computers on campus, general education requirements, Greek organizations and the bond issue. Not all the complaints were taken up during the discussion mainly because of time constraints. One of the biggest gripes of the faculty and students was that there are no effective ways to pass information between and among the two groups. A few suggestions for this problem were an information board outside the University Center, covered bulletin boards in the commuter parking lots and use of banners in the UC and on campus. Students and faculty engage in discussion at the bitch session held Tuesday evening in Buchanan (photo by ASB). The coordinator of the discussion recommended "developing a more centralized information system at the UC would benefit the whole campus." The next topic was parking. The few commuter students in attendance said they do not have a big problem in finding a space. At least two students who transferred to Western from larger universities said it is easier to get a space here than at their previous schools. They also said they pay a considerably small amount for a parking permit here compared to other schools. Suggestions for this topic were to encourage people living in the dorms and stay parked near the dorms, encourage walkingandcarpoolingand possibly prohibiting freshmen from having vehicles on campus. We are one of the few campuses who allow freshmen to have them. Taking the vehicles away from the freshmen also led to thoughts of regaining a community spirit here at Western. A few faculty members and students felt that if there was less of a chance for the students to go home on the weekends, perhaps there would be more weekend programs, and the university could lose its "suitcase college" reputation. There are some disadvantages to taking away the freshmen vehicles. Travis Halbrook, a business major, pointed out one. "Some potential freshmen might decide to go to a different school than Western." A member of faculty also mentioned the fact that someone could then sell off-campus parking to the freshmen who still wanted to have a vehicle near campus. Students are not the only group who tend to use their cars to avoid walking. There are some faculty members who also have this tendency. One example would be a faculty member driving from Forsyth to the Administration building. The parking problem is far from being solved, but the group soon exhausted all immediate possibilities for solutions that came to mind. 1 Mrs. Angela Murphy-Walters came to the session with one of her largest pet peeves, the use of the Curriculum library in Hunter by fraternity and sorority pledge classes. These groups use the area to study but do not use die Curriculum materials. Although there is no written rule, groups are discouraged in holding meetings and study sessions in this part of the library unless they are using those materials. Mrs. Murphy-Walters recommended the groups use the basement group study rooms for this purpose. Dr. Terry Kinnear of the business department asked if there were any other places open for students to use in studying and group work. The students said that there are some buildings which stay open but close after night classes are over around 9pm. Then the students are practically kicked out of the buildings. Those students who live in the dorms agreed that the dorms are not conducive See 'Bitch' pg 4 Fraternal fracas results in arrests of students Hayley Nicholas Staff Reporter A fight involving six students of WCU at the Sigma Phi Epsilon house early last Friday morning has twice brought officers of Jackson County's Sheriff's Department to campus. One visit was made in search of the suspects on Friday, and the next concerned serving of warrants on Tuesday, September 28. Five of Western's football players are implicated in the altercation. Herb Streater, a junior and strong safety for the Catamounts, has been charged with sec ond degree trespassing and simple assault. Larry Goldston, a freshman has been charged with second degree trespassing and simple assault as well. Streater and Goldston turned themselves into the Sheriff's Department on Friday afternoon. Since the charges qualify as misdemeanors, no investigation followed their arrests and subsequent release. Warrants were served for these two on Tuesday afternoon with cou rt da tes set for mid-October. Johnny Johnson and Jay Braithwaite are also implicated in connection with the fight. Johnson, a Catamount cornerback, is charged with simple assault and second degree trespassing. Braithwaite is charged with two counts of simple assault and second degree trespassing. He is a senior first-string cornerback. To date, no arrests have been made or warrants served in connection with these men. The fifth suspectremains unidentified atpress time. Sigma Phi Epsilon is refusing comment in connection with the altercation that occurred at a party at the Sigma Phi Epsilon house around lam Friday morning. Catamount Coach, Steve Hodgin also had no comment. The fight allegedlyinvolved the four aforemen tioned men and Sigma Phi Epsilon member, John "Skeet" Hardy, and stemmed from an argument concerning the invite policy enforced by the Inter-Fraternal Council. The policy,accordingtoabrother of the Sigma Phi Epsilon, allows each brother to give 'invites' to four people of their chosing. The alleged suspects were not allowed into a private party held at the fraternity and the fight ensued. Hardy was treated at the emergency room of CJ Harris Hospital for multiple injuries. Policewerecalledtothe scene, and charges were filed by Hardy on Friday.
