  • 2 Thursday, February 131997 News ®Iie Western (Earnltntan Grounds Crew Receives Award PHOTO TERRY K. ROBERTS/WC KEVIN MCPHERSON NEWS EDITOR The grounds crew at Western Carolina University has earned a merit award in the Professional Grounds Maintenance Awards contest, which is sponsored annually by the Professional Grounds Management Society and Grounds Maintenance magazine. Entries in the competition are yudged orv tYie gervera\ appearance of grounds, planting and maintenance of trees, shrubbery, and flower beds. According to Grounds Superintendant Roger Turk, the crew and facility at WCU were entered in the college and university category of the competition. Other top winners in the group were James Madison University, the 'Grand Award' winner; Occidental College; and Wake Forest University, which tied for second place. "I did not enter [the contest] to draw attention to myself," said Turk. "I did it to bring ^WervYion to them, to draw attention to the quality of work that they do." Turk also said this is a group of people that doesn't normally get a chance to be noticed. He believes this award will serve as a good boost for ground maintenance employees. Western's grounds crew maintains approximately 250 acres of turf and ornamental plantings, including one and a quarter acres of flower beds and ten acres of shrubs. The 21-member group, which is divided into three crews, is also responsible for upkeep of 64 acres of pavement and eight miles of sidewalks. The crew is also in charge of snow removal and other weather emergency clean-up. the catamount is now on sale $22.50 includes shipping and handling Call Margie Koch at 7440 or Dick Cameron at 7234 for more information Search Begins for Vice Chancellor of Advancement and Institutional Development EMILY BEITEL STAFF WRITER A search is underway to find a new vice chancellor for advancement, as well as a vice chancellor for student development. The search committee, which is composed of 16 faculty members at Western Carolina, has narrowed down this selection down to three candidates. The committee conducted off-campus interviews with the candidates in order to narrow the selection down. Dr. John Slater, chair of this committee, said that external consultants screened all the applications and made recommendations. There will be an opportunity for community members, faculty, staff, and students to meet the candidates for input before the final selection. A reception for this purpose will be held Monday, Feb. 17, in the lobby of the Allied Health Building at Southwestern Community College in Sylva. All receptions will begin at 5:30 p.m., with a reception for Claire Eldridge, director of development in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Evaluation forms will be available at all receptions and from the Office of University Advancement, room 401, Robinson Administration Building. Other finalists for the vice chancellorship will be announced this week. Tentative dates for the public receptions are Monday, Feb. 24, and Tuesday, Feb. 25; SGA Proposes Community Service General Ed Requirement PHOTO SETH R. SAMS/WC Andrew Brock Calls Tuesdays Meeting to Order SETH R. SAMS STAFF WRITER Will community service be required as part of WCU's general education requirement? At Tuesday's SGA senate meeting, Andrew Brock presented a plan to include 100 hours of community service to be added as part of the general education curriculum. It also included a requirement for other university personnel to conduct thirty hours of community service per year. "It's the right thing to do, and- we can do a lot of good," stated Brock on the resolution. "It would be nice to get more people involved." The assembly did not vote on the resolution, pending consideration by a committee. Last year's resolution 1714 was also brought up, concerning the new 12-point grading scale. The SGA at the time voted negative on the resolution, but the new scale is going to go into effect despite the SGA's decision, according to Andrew Brock. "I think it [ignoring the vote] looks bad upon the University," said Brock. Senate Resolution 1775, which passed with a vote of 24 to 0, called for "an act to allow the us« of meal points for purchase from vending machines." The final draft of the resolution pointed out,"Other schools that have the same features allow students to purchase items from_ vending machfnes off their meal plan." "That sounds pretty awesome. I hope they can implement it soon," said Senior Fashion Marketing Major Christine Kuhn. The third resolution, S.R. 1776, called for the removal of the Old Student Union from SGA funding. The Old Student Union is the only building funded by the SGA. The only organizations housed in the building are the Western Carolinian, the Catamount Yearbook and the Organization of Ebony Students. The Carolinian and Catamount receive funding from Media Board fees rather than student government fees. Asked to comment on the change, Carolinian Editor Tony Taylor said, "I think it's great. The newspaper needs to be independent from student government. "This is a step in the right direction," Taylor added. "Hopefully one day the newspaper will become independent from the university entirely." ftsuksi Isaaiae Mm :::r-:: -.-.
