Western Carolinian March 21,1996 Hit and Run News by Tony Taylor Associate Editor A local hit-and-run incident left a UNC-Chapel Hill coed in serious condition after a truck dragged her nearly 700 feet. According to Jackson County Justice and Administration records, Tirsha M. Roberson, 20, left a March 9 party at the Pi Kappa Fraternity house and was walking along Monteith Gap Road when she was hit by a truck driven by Robert Marshall Conely, a 20-year-old non- student from Sylva. Conley is charged with five counts of felony hit and run, four counts of assault with a deadly weapon and one count of assualt with a deadly weapon with intent to killl inflecting serious injury. He is being held in the Jackson County jail under a $30,000 secured bond. Conley was leaving the fraternity house after being denied admission to a party. A quick-thinking WCU student may have prevented serious injuries to one of three other WCU students who were injured slightly in the incident. Junior Mike O' Donovan broke his ankle helping others get away from the truck. "I was at the bottom of the driveway and I saw two girls standing there. I was able to push one of them out of the way. The girl I was unable to get to was the one who was dragged." Chief Gene McAbee stated that WCU Public Safety "assisted in interviewing witnesses." "We realized that it was before spring break and our witnesses would be leaving town," McAbee said. "We arrived at the scene at 2:30 a.m. and stayed there interviewing until 7:00 a.m." The Highway patrol office was in charge of the investigation. Public Saftey and the Sheriffs Office assited. According to Dean Haggard, Pi Kappa Phi has been placed on immediate social suspension until the investigation is completed. "This is standard procedure for such an incident," Haggard said. "Until the investagation is completed." Sylva Honors Cats with a Parade by David C. Westbrook Staff Reporter The merchants of Sylva along with the mayor supported WCU on Tuesday with a parade that continued despite thc snow. WCU's parade was paid for by businesses in downtown Sylva and permitted by the entire town as a whole. The Mayor of Sylva, Brenda Oliver, declared that Tuesday be termed "WCU Day," and support was also given by the police department. Businesses of Sylva supported the parade because they feel that they have a "direct relationship" with WCU said Cassandra Collins, one organizer of the parade. Collins also stated that there is feeling that Sylva is a "university town," and that WCU's recent performance against Purdue in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament contributed to the wealth of support that was given by the merchants of Sylva. The sponsors of the parade were the Sylva Partners in Renewal, also known as SPIR, a new group of merchants from Sylva who concentrate on designing, economically restructuring and promoting downtown Sylva. SPIR's Promotional committee was the driving force behind the parade, but support was also given by the Chancellor's Office, Sylva Police Chief Harold McMahan, WCU's University Center and local radio station WRGC 680AM. WCU's Chancellor Bardo and his son were in the parade. Jim Manring, director of Annual Fund, coordinated publicity for the parade, and the University Center distributed posters that were provided by Student Development. The parade focused on WCU's first SC Championship's win other than baseball. Both the Women's Indoor Track Team and the Men's Basketball Team impressed Sylva enough to enable WCU's Jim Manring to state: "It's nice that the community joined in celebrating accomplishments which brought national recognition to the school and the area." SGA Update: Thirteen Resolutions in Two Weeks by Jmaes Gray Staff Reporter In the SGA's past two meetings (March 4 and 18) they had 13 resolutions for consideration. The meeting this past Monday had 34 senators in attendance, making it the highest-attended meeting of this semester. The following is a rundown of each resolution the senate has approved since the last Western Carolinian issue. March 4 Meeting • S.R. 1714— Sponsored by Senator-at-Large Bob Hodges. This was the second resolution the SGA has passed this year that disapproves of the 12-point grading scale. Despite the first rejection by the SGA on September 25, the Faculty Senate approved this measure. Within the resolution's body, Senator Hodges wrote: "The some 6,700 students of this University, whom this distinguished body represents, are overwhelmingly opposed to the University policy of a 12-point grading system in any and all of its forms... Be it resolved that the Western Carolina University Board of Trustees declare any and all policies to put into place a 12-point grading scale to be null and void." • S.R. 1715—Sponsored by Senator-at-Large Bob Hodges. Called for the chain roadblock that obstructs vehicle access to the cross country track (located near the driving range) to be moved so more people could walk around it, but not moved where it would allow automobiles access. The senate passed S.R. 1715. •S.R. 1716—Sponsored by Senator-at-Large Bob Hodges. Asks that, as of the fall semester, a member of the SGA be appointed to the campus Traffic and Safety Commission. The resolution states, "One member is a student who is designated by a recommendation from the SGA President... and, if the student member of said commission was a member of the Senate, this would provide a more effective means of representation..." S.R. was approved. • S.R. 1717— Sponsored by Senator-at-Large Bob Hodges. Asks "that Cablevision Inc. shall provide to its WCU on campus cable subscribers the option of receiving additional pay TV. and/or premium channels in addition to the one that is currently available." The other members agreed that the cable service on campus should compare with local service and went 'yea' on 1717. • S.R. 1718— Sponsored by the Office of the Vice President. Appointed Kim Bennett, Amy Poe, Paul Locklear, Marcus DeMaaijer and Brad Ball as the Committee on Sexual Assault/Battery, with DeMaaijer serving as chairperson. The nominations were confirmed unanimously. • S.R. 1719— Sponsored by the Office of the Vice President. The SGA aid yes to Cole's election of three enators: Philip )rum, Holly ^ashman and itephanie McKoy Jong with three ion-senators: "Roderick Kelly, Neil lines and Kristen Dowdy for the Elections Commis- iion.

The senate accepted Cole's appointment of Pete VonThaden as a commuter senator. • S.R. 1721— Sponsored by the Committee on Clubs and Organizations.

March 18 Meeting • S.R. 1722— Sponsored by Senator Jay Small. Asked that the SGA make a $ 1,000 annual contribution to the CAP Center to help them expand and update their resources. This issue was referred to the Finance Committee for further review. • S.R. 1723— Sponsored by the Office of the President. Asks for the snack and soft drink vendors to put more machines in the dormitories. Some senators questioned whether or not vendors would be willing to put machines on every floor in the dormitories without elevators. Regardless, 1723 was approved. • S.R. 1724— Sponsored by the Office of the President. Since the Executive Assistant to the President position is empty, Laverty picked senator Jay Brewer to fill the spot. The senate seconded the appointment. • S.R. 1725— Sponsored by the Office of the President. Once again the senate approved two appointments to the traffic court. One gave Brent Roberts the Chief Justice position and the other made Jermaine Baxter a justice on the traffic court. • S.R. 1726— Sponsored by the Committee on Clubs and Organizations. The senate passed 1726, making the ROTC Rifle Team an official campus organization. Initially one senator said that such a measure had been taken a couple of years ago, but the sponsor replied that that rifle team had ceased to exist and this was a newly created organization.
