V^ VvCLJ s Independent student Voice ^J I WESTERN ^f aroliniaN February 07, 2000, Vol. 65, Issue 19 www.westerncarolinian.com Cullowhee, USA Bones Found in Forest, WCU Graduate Arrested By Dawn N. Pasley News Editor The recent identification of a man's bones, found December 1999 in the forest off Highway 107, have led authorities to arrest a Wisconsin man who was formerly a WCU student. The remains of a man were found by hunters on a creek bank off Moses Creek Road. The bones remained unidentified until last Thursday when investigators matched the remains of the skull with dental records and named the victim as Allen Krnak, 55. Krnak, his wife Donna, and their son, Thomas, had been missing since July 1998 when they left for their family cabin on a fishing trip and never returned. Derek Nicholas Anderson, 32, formerly known as Andrew Krnak, was arrested last Friday at a halfway house in Wisconsin where he was serving a 17-month term for providing false information on student loan applications. Anderson legally changed his name a short while after his parents' disappearance but had been using the name, on his driver's license and college applications for some time. He graduated magna cum laude from WCU in 1994 with a degree in psychology and physiology. He later returned to pursue a master's degree and a second undergraduate degree but failed in the endeavors and left WCU in 1996. When Allen Krnak's remains were first found back in 1999, investigators also found a woman's gold ring, a women's size 14-16 T-shirt, and tags worn by the family dog, Hunter, who was accompanying the Krnaks when they were last seen. Investigators hope to find the remains of Donna and Thomas Krnak, and authorities from Jackson County continue to sift through the leaves to find more evidence. Jackson County Sheriff Jim Cruzan says that he has reason to believe that the two missing Krnaks remain to be found, and that the search will continue. "The only time I'll call off (the search) is when I find the other two people or they are accounted for," said Cruzan. On Monday, investigators began combing the area at 9 a.m. North Carolina prosecutors want Wisconsin authorities to extradite Anderson and have already charged him with first-degree murder. Anderson and his attorney, Neil McGinn, are contesting extradition. If he stands trial and is convicted in North Carolina, Anderson could face the death penalty, while Wisconsin has no death penalty. The extradition hearing is set for March 2. To get Anderson extradited, officials must obtain a warrant from the governor. The warrant affirms that the person named by it is suspected of a crime. Cruzan foresees that Anderson will be tried in North Carolina. "I anticipate getting him back to North Carolina to stand trial for murder, and I'm ready to go," said Cruzan. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel contributed to this article. Hopes for WCU Athletic Spirit Group Realized By Charles White Staff Writer Catamount athletic teams are hoping to have extra support at upcoming sport competitions in the form of a new student booster club. The booster club will be a student organized group dedicated to the enthusiastic support of Western's intercollegiate basketball and football games, both at home and at away matches. Jonathan Rowe, WCU student body president, conceived of the idea last spring as a way to increase student extra-curricular participation. He looked around at other North Carolina universities and wondered why WCU was the only one that lacked a booster club. He was impressed by the kind of student involvement he saw at athletic events at larger universities like Duke and Wake Forest and resolved to bring that kind of enthusiasm to the mountains. "In the next five years enrollment is projected to go from 6500 to 9000 students," said Rowe. "With the booster club we expect to be able to both support student athletes and increase student support overall." The booster club would be a joint venture of the SGA and the athletic department. The proposed organization has been well received by the athletic director, Jim Compher. "It makes all the difference in the world to have the support of Mr. Compher," said Rowe. "Coming from a bigger Provided the booster club resolution passes, Rowe expects to have the club organized and officers elected in two weeks. photo by Elizabeth Barnes The" Fans make noise beside the WCU spirit group during Monday night's game school like Vanderbilt that has more student organizations, he sees the benefits a booster club can bring." After that he plans to move into the second phase of the club's development: public awareness. "We've already contacted the school's intramurals to let them know about the club. Once the bill passes we will appoint an officer responsible for getting the message out there to the public." The organization will be a subsidiary and receive its funding from the SGA. The booster club will be open to all .current students and includes such perks as special seating at home football and basketball games, free tickets to away games, and a discounted Catamount Club membership. Anyone interested in joining the booster club can contact Rowe at the SGA office on the second floor of Hinds University Center. The only requirements to join: show up to the games and make plenty of noise.
