  • news February 17,1999 ____________________ inisin II IlCil i Students Speak Out Against Housing Changes by Amy Bridgers Contributing Writer Last semester, everyone living in residence halls received letters confirming the rumors of massive changes in housing on the WCU campus. While most of the halls will stay as they are now, Harrill and Scott are undergoing serious change. As of fall 1999, Harrill will house freshmen only as part of the "Freshmen Emphasis" program. The second, third, fourth, and fifth east wings of Mary White Scott Hall will be male floors. "It's not right," says Joe Herring, a sophomore resident of Harrill Hall, "The floor that I live on has such a great community. The people in my suite have all lived together for over two years. All that time, we have shared a bathroom and spent a lot of time getting to know each other. We are like a family. Now we have to move and we may be split up." "While I do understand the reason they want freshman living together, I really think freshmen and upperclassmen living together is a good thing," Ryan Butler, freshman and resident of Harrill stated, "Living on a mixed hall was great for me. I always had someone to help me with homework or tell me about classes that were good." There are also several monetary issues involved with these changes. "I spent $150 to build lofts that will fit only in Harrill or Walker," says Rob Nations, "I also bought carpet to fit this room. Moving out of Harrill is costing me money and time." Harrill residents are not the only people upset by the change. Some Scott residents are dealing with the hall becoming co-ed. "We are losing our floor to the guys," says Andrea Staton, a resident of the fifth floor of Scott, "We have a really strong community there. I lived in Walker and had it taken when they put freshmen there. It feels like you are being ripped from your home." Some of the girls are concerned about how this change will affect the comfort of the residence hall. "I really think the community within the building will diminish," Staton continued, "Girls won't be comfortable running around in their pajamas or coming out of the shower in their towels. I like feeling comfortable in my home. I don't like the idea of having to worry when I am showering." _s Jl/S' RUNNING Brie Hichman - Owner Western North Carolina's Running Headquarters 523 Merrimon Ave., Suite 1 Asheville, NC 28804 (828) 252-RUNR Fax: (828) 252-7817 www.crossroads-sytva.com Dining and Entertainment Sylua, fl.C. opening soon I stay in Tune. Support the Alts Crystal Hughes, a junior, is very concerned with the safety issues. "There should be locks on the wind doors," Hughes said, "I know girls will prop them, but they should be there just in case. If we choose not to use them, it is our own stupidity. When Harrill became coed, they added locks to all the suite doors. We should have that option." "Also, the dorm is not going to be as clean," Hughes continued, "Look at the difference between Helder and Leather- wood. Guys are often harder on things than girls." Parking is also a major concern among students. Even with the changes in housing, parking will remain the same. Although Harrill will be all freshmen, the lot surrounding it will still be upper-class parking. Scott will be mostly upperclassmen. "It is already difficult to find a parking spot around Scott," Hughes said, "This campus is very safe, but I still would not feel comfortable walking from Harrill to Scott in the middle of the night."

'History' cont. from page 1 America's first best-selling novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," which gave voice to an issue women fought for, abolition of slavery. In 1870, the 15th Amendment to the US Constitution gave freedmen the right to vote, an accomplishment many in the women's movement also championed. In 1874, the Supreme Court ruled that the 15th Amendment did not apply to women. Not until 1919, after three votes of the House of Representatives, would the Senate pass the 19th Amendment. On August 26,1920, three-fourths of the states legislatures finally agreed and the right of women to vote was secured. "My grandmother has vivid memories of the suffragist movement," said Steve Nash, a History graduate student from Clinton, NJ. "She remembers her mother voting for the first time. To this day she is a consistent voter and never misses a vote." Dr. Gael Graham, Professor of History, thinks that if history were taught with women in it there would not be a need for a Women's History Month. "We need to remember the accomplishments of women which have beenjbrgotten, ignored or erased," she said. "I'm glad I live now and not then, but there certainly still is discrimination." Is the glass half full or half empty? Historian Dr. Gerald Schwartz believes it is relative to the time period. "In the past, improvements have been framed in language many 90's feminist would recoil from. There is still a ways to go as far as equal pay for equal work and the glass ceiling in the work place. But women have become increasingly politically active." In fact, there are around 10 women now in the US Senate, with California being represented by two females. Betsy Shaughnessy, a graduate student from Berlin, NJ, thinks the pay issue is an important one also. "The amount of pay is still an issue. Women need to be paid the same as men for equal work ," she said. "We need to think of Women's History Month not as a radical contingent, but rather in terms of women who have made a difference in your life," says Professor of Sociology Dr. Joanne Hickey. "Mothers, sisters and grandmothers are the true women's history. Every generation feels the burden of limitations. Whatever the burning issue is, equal pay or non-hostile work environment, every generation wants to feel a sense of accomplishment." ATTENTION SENIORS!
