  • £% WESTERN ^T CaroliniaN September 1 5, 1 999, Vol. 64, Issue 5 THIS WEEK ^Tueday's SGA Senate election results ► page 3 iW ' ' iiiii limiMWi.l Cullowhee, USA New Development Center to Drive Technological Advancement of Western North Carolina by Jeffrey Sykes Asst. News Editor Western Carolina's new Labor Force Development Center (LFDC), slated for construction this semester, is designed to take WNC's work force far into the future. Funded primarily by $4 million in federal funds secured by 11th District Congressman Charles Taylor, the $6 million dollar building will house components of Industrial and Engineering Technology (IET), Arts and Sciences, School of Business, and Communication and Theatre Arts. This week, the Carolinian looks at how IET will utilize the new facility. "The Work Force Improvement Center will help to improve the economy of WNC by teaching the skills in our work force demanded by the employers of tomorrow. Only with a trained work force can we hope to attract permanent high paying jobs to our region," stated Rep. Taylor in a press release. These sentiments are echoed by the people in IET who will run the programs. "In terms of technology, we are above some programs," said Dr. Jerry Cook, professor of IET. "If you don't keep moving people pass you really quick." In an effort to improve student access to advanced technology and to improve graduates' employability, the LFDC will seek to work in partnership with regional business. IET's existing equipment has been partially acquired with grants from the Society of Plastics Engineers and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers. In the four new lab rooms, IET will look to re- photo by Seth R. Sams Workers from Florida replacing windows in Scott picked up their things and left on Tuesday, according to a faculty member. Some workers were heard making comments concerning not receiving payment from the University as their reason for quitting. Others supposedly were returning because of the hurricane. Andrew Comrey, director of the Physical Plant, stated that he was not aware of the company discontinuing their work, and could not confirm if the company was based in Florida because the company was sub-contracted. main flexible in the use of equipment. "One of the things we've tried to do is to be flexible because industry is changing rapidly," Cook said. "We don't want to be obsolete in two or three years." One of the new advanced technologies generating excitement is rapid prototyping. This will allow a student to take a computer design and create a three dimensional model that can be subjected to testing for development. "It is a step from the virtual thing to a real world part," stated Cook. "If you can make a prototype you can test it and see how it interfaces." Western's current technology level allows for students to create the computer aided design (CAD) but not to develop a prototype. Dr. Dennis Depew, Dean of Applied Sciences, stated that the LFDC will "position us very strategically to be out in front. We want to be best in class. Our graduates are in big demand. The key is having a state-of-the-art facility to attract hi-tech industries to the region." The LFDC will house three other engineering labs in addition to the rapid- prototyping lab. A telecommunications lab will aid in the development of better networking applications. "The telecommunications side would be looking at how we use telecommunications to network organizations and people together," said Depew. There will also be a multi-purpose lab that will house equipment for short terms as the needs of industry changes. "We want to form an ad-hoc committee to focus our wish list on what business perceptions are," Cook stated. Dr. Cook explained how the LFDC would serve to advance regional technology much as technical colleges did in the late 1960's. "Four year degree engineering colleges should do the same thing now," he said. This can be very important in promoting economic development," Depew added. "It is a very unique opportunity to bring some very diverse programs together." The LFDC is slated for ground breaking this semester. The project is expected to be completed in,the fall of 2001. Floyd Causes Tension from Canaveral to Cullowhee by Jeffrey Sykes Asst. News Editor As the Western Carolinian went to press Tuesday night, one of the most powerful hurricanes on record was expected to crash into the Carolina coast late Wednesday. Students from Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina talked with parents who made plans to cjeal with Hurricane Floyd. Walt Disney World closed for the first time because of weather conditions, NASA was unable to evacuate the Space Shuttles, and two sporting events in Cullowhee have been cancelled: Western's football game against The Citadel and women's soccer against South Carolina State. The Governor of South Carolina ordered Charleston and other low lying areas evacuated. The Citadel was evacuated on Tuesday. In reference to the evacuation of The Citadel, Director of Public Safety Gene McAbee stated; "You want them away from there because of the low lying area. This far away from the coast it might not be the best choice. Wei have emergency procedures to put in place in situations like that." According toi McAbee, the decision to cancel classes or evacuate the campus would be made by Chancellor Bardo. The Class IV hurricane has sustained winds at 140 mph and is nearly 600 miles across. Accordingto meteorologists, the storm is taking a similar track to that of Hurricane Hugo in 1989, a storm that caused extensive damage in the Piedmont. Cullowhee had a brush with a major hurricane when Opal roared inland from the Gulf of Mexico in October 1995, leaving the university; and surrounding communities without electricity for almost a week. Students are advised to check the WCU homepage or listen to the campus radio station for cancellations should severe weather threaten the area. i 1 1 I | ■
