  • February 18, 1998 Volume 62, Issue 21 western • • arolinian western Carolina university's independent student voice SGA Approves 24-Hour Weekend Visitation By Seth R. Sams Student Resolution 1874 was introduced to the senate by SGA President Joe Monroe on February 4, resolving to change the current visitation rules to 24 hours on weekends. The current visitation policy, concerning visitors of the opposite sex in the dorm rooms, is noon to midnight Sunday through Thursday and noon to 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. SR 1874 resolves to change the policy to accommodate visitors of the opposite sex 24 hours a day on weekends. No more "Have a seat and wait,"... maybe According to -photo by T.K. Roberts the notes and statistics stated in the resolution, "98% of the on-campus residents signed there [sic] signature of approval, stating that they wanted a change" and also that the change "will only benefit the student body as a whole." The resolution also calls for the Department of Housing to designate certain floors or wings to house students who do not want to participate in the proposed change, and to inform students about both of the options before they sign up for their rooms in the Spring of 1998, should the change be approved by the administration. The resolution was passed by the senate on the same day it was introduced, February 4, and was voted against by only one student senator, Brook Beasley. "I feel like it's not good for the campus morally," Beasley commented during a phone interview on February 11. "I think it doesn't promote the right kind of atmosphere for an academic institution." When asked about his thoughts concerning the impact this new policy would have on the campus crime rate, Gene McAbee, the Head of Public Safety, commented that, "there certainly are some security factors that need to be considered, but I haven't been consulted about it yet." "I think it's do-able, but I'm not sure there is enough time to get the right publicity needed out by August," Randy Rice, Director of Housing, commented. "The key is just making sure all parties have had some voice in it and are well aware of it." Rice agrees with the resolution's recommendation that a wing, or certain floors, be designated so that they would not have the 24- hour policy. "I think as long as there's some designated areas the students could sign up for, and it be well publicized that there is going to be weekend 24 hour visitation," continued Rice. "And if that's a concern for you, you need to be sure to sign up for [non-24-hour policy] locations." Chancellor John Bardo could not be reached for comment. Student Suspected in Indecent Exposure Case by Seth R. Sams A WCU student is currently a suspect in a series of indecent exposure cases. On February 6,1998, two students reported that a male exposed himself to them as they were walking across campus. On the following day, Saturday, February 7, a female jogger on the walking trail reported a similar incident near the Print Shop; the victim got the suspect's license plate number. The suspect, a male student, was located in Franklin on the following afternoon and upon questioning by authorities admitted to a series of incidents dating back to January 1997, including several in Franklin, in which he publicly exposed himself. Gene McAbee, head of Public Safety, has said that he expects an arrest to be made on Wednesday and that the suspect is cooperating fully. Stephanie Ann Stow Scholarship Awarded to Arden Student by OPI A Western Carolina University student teacher who lost her life in a car accident last year was remembered Monday, February 2, by family, friends and WCU faculty and students who gathered together to award a scholarship in her honor. The first Stephanie Ann Stow Scholarship was presented to Stephen Harrison, a WCU senior from Arden who is majoring in art education, during a ceremony held at WCU's Killian Building. Stephanie Stow's father, Bob Stow of Asheville, spoke on behalf of his wife, Karen, and friends and family. He told the gathering that his daughter graduated from Michigan State University with a bachelor's degree in marketing, but she soon realized that "she really wanted to become a teacher." "All during her life, she was constantly talking about how she loved working with children," Bob Stow said. Stephanie Stow, or "Sassy," as she was called by her family, enrolled in WCU's business education program. She progressed through the program, and was on the last day of her student teaching semester at Asheville High School when she died in a car accident on April 17, 1997. Family and friends established the endowed scholarship fund in her memory to pro vide financial help to education students who are undergoing their student teaching semesters in the elementary and secondary schools, when it is typically difficult for the students to make ends meet because of the commitments required in student teaching. Earnings from the Stephanie Ann Stow Scholarship Fund will be used to award a $500 scholarship in each of the fall and spring semesters. Preference will be given to student teachers from Buncombe County. "In the coming years, the financial burden of many deserving student teachers will be eased because of the Stows' generosity and thoughtfulness," said Gumey Chambers, dean of WCU's College of Education and Allied Professions. "The scholarship also will ensure that our memory of Stephanie and our appreciation of her wonderful qualities—qualities that are worthy of emulation by other students—will remain with us for a long, long time," Chambers said. Harrison, a graduate of Roberson High School, is currently working in his student teaching semester at Fairview Elementary School in Jackson County. In presenting the scholarship, Marilyn Feldmann, associate dean of the College of Education and Allied Professions, said that Harrison A WARD, CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 Western on a Winning Streak Stories on pages 9&10 Senior Forward Karen Mason sends another one home. -photo by T.K.
