Pasley News Editor A man who is accused of stealing a red Nissan XTerra from WCU's campus was apprehended and charged with larceny October 8 and is now incarcerated and awaiting trial. According to University Police, James Roy Foyles, Jr., 31, is being held in a McDowell county jail after he was stopped by the North Carolina Highway Patrol in McDowell county while driving the stolen XTerra. The XTerra was reported stolen on October 2, and Foyles later admitted to stealing the vehicle on WCU's campus. During the six days that it was missing, the XTerra had 2500 miles put on it. On October 10, residents of Faculty Apartments reported a 2000 Mercury Sable that had been parked in the lot. The residents claimed that they did not know who the owner of the car was. A set of golf clubs was found on the ground near the car. A set of golf clubs had been in the XTerra at the time that it was stolen, and when the vehicle was recovered, the clubs had been taken from it. Police contacted the owner of the Xterra, who identified the golf clubs as his property. The Sable had been reported stolen on July 20, 2000, from photo courtesy of WCU Public Safety James Roy Foyles, Jr. Budget Rent-a-Car in Asheville, and several thousand miles had been put on the vehicle. Employees at Budget Rent-a- Car stated that Foyles' personal vehicle, a Ford Ranger pickup truck, had been parked in their lot since July. Foyles has not yet been charged by the Asheville Police Department for the [ theft of the Sable. Officers found a 2 stolen faculty/staff parking permit from UNC-Chapel Hill in the Sable, which leads Tom Pruett, chief of WCU Police, to believe that Foyles has been committing crimes at other universities. "I feel that he's been at at least one other college campus and possibly others and he sees college campuses as ripe ground for committing crimes," said Pruett. According to Pruett, WCU Police have reason to believe that Foyles, who was a student at WCU many years ago, has been in the vicinity of WCU for about a year and has possibly committed other crimes on campus. Pruett encourages students to look closely at Foyles' picture to see if he looks familiar. "If students look at his picture and recognize him, I would be very interested in hearing about it," said Pruett. Foyles is also listed in the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigations' sex offender registry for taking indecent liberties with a minor in Henderson County in 1997. Crowning of King, Queen Wraps up 2000 Homecoming By Allison Hinson Copy Editor Western Carolina University conducted its annual Homecoming activities last week to promote school spirit. Various organizations on campus exhibited their creativity and aided in community service as part of the Catamount Cup competition. On Wednesday, organizations turned in the canned food they had collected for Community Table, this year's Homecoming service project. Community Table, which is located in Sylva, provides a restaurant type atmosphere for the less fortunate. The Ramsey Center was the site for Thursday evening's float building contest. This particular event awarded Catamount Cup points based on attendance from organization members. The final portions of the competition took place Friday evening. The first of these was a parade that traveled through downtown Sylva. The parade followed up with an event known as Spirit Night, and it featured performances by the cheerleaders, pep band, and dance team. The Homecoming Court was announced. This year's candidates for Homecoming King were Nathan Davis, Josh Jones, Dominique McFadden, Jonathan Rowe, and Keith Upperman. Homecoming Queen candidates were Kitwana Camphor, Kim Cherry, Joanna Chois, Audra Faulkner, and Courtney Tyson. Another aspect of the Catamount Cup competition was the skit contest, also held as part of that evening's festivities. Here, organizations represented school spirit in several forms - anywhere from competing cheerleaders to country line dancers adorned with cowboy hats. Half time on Saturday was a much- anticipated moment for several students. Dominique McFadden was crowned Homecoming King, and Kitwana Camphor was crowned as Queen. Alpha Gamma Delta was announced as the recipient of the Catamount Cup for the fifth year in a row. Is WCU Fallin' Apart? photo by Seth R.
