(WClTs Independent Student Uoice) I WESTERN -^T aroliniaN Girl Rides World's Largest Sausage. WHEEEEM page 7 April 25, 2001, Vol. 65, Issue 28 www.westerncarolinian.com Cullowhee, USA Proposed Cuts for WCU By Dawn N. Pasley News Editor WCU was recently asked to submit a plan to the state for a potential budget reduction that reflected a seven percent cut (about $5.3 million) in the university's $53 million budget for the years 2001- 2003. These cuts are WCU's response to the state's request to formulate a budget cut plan; no cuts are definite at this point. The plans are still at subcommittee level in the legislature, stressed Chancellor John Bardo in his e-mail to the university community, telling of the cuts. The biggest cuts were proposed in the university's public service programs. About 95 percent of the $1.33 million budget that includes programs such as the Mountain Resource Center, Western North Carolina Tomorrow, Local Government Training, and Summer Ventures in Math and Science, could be cut. Some of the programs that were recommended to be eliminated under the potential budget cuts include the Highlands Biological Station, the Mountain Aquaculture Center, and the Mountain Heritage Center museum. The reductions could affect Spending of $98.1 M to Begin in August Plans Spread Over Next 6 Years By Samantha Helms Asst. News Editor Plans for the $98.1 million that WCU received under the bond referendum approved last November are spread out over the next six years, and will begin with the construction of the Fine and Performing Arts Building. Andrew Comrie, director of WCU's Physical Plant, said the plans for the building will go to bid in May, and construction will start in August. Two other projects are in design, according to Comrie. "Renovations to Bird, McKee, and Killian Annex are combined into one project," said Comrie. The new 300-bed residence hall, which will be located across from Harrill Residence Hall, adjacent to the alumni house, is the second project. "A designer is also looking at preliminary work for traffic relocation," said Comrie. The plans call for a pedestrian only campus with perimeter parking lots. Forsyth and Stillwell are next on the list for renovations, followed by plans for partial renovations to Breese Gymnasium and Killian. "We want to finish one project before we begin another so students and professors can be relocated," said Comrie. The order of construction is Bird, McKee, Killian Annex, Forsyth, Stillwell, and then partial renovations to Breese Gym and Killian. the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT) by possibly eliminating 300 teacher participants, asking teachers to pay for their own travel, and leaving no funds for repair or maintenance of the facility. The cuts might also eliminate ten faculty positions, which could cause 70 classes to be canceled. This translates into 2,500 fewer seats, or 250 fewer full-time students allowed to enroll. Bardo and the University of North Carolina System's Office of the President are opposed to these potential cuts. According to Bardo, cutting WCU's programs in such a manner would cause "irreparable damage" to the university. For more information on the budget cut plan, see the Western Carolinian online edition: www.westerncarolinian.com. Faculty Members Nominated for Award By Dawn N. Pasley News Editor Four faculty members were recently nominated for the Chancellor's Distinguished Teaching Award, the highest honor that WCU bestows upon its educators. The 168 faculty members who were initially nominated for the award were narrowed to a field of four by a committee which examined each nominee's teaching techniques and portfolios. This award, consisting of a $1000 honorarium and engraved plaque, is presented to a faculty member each spring at the General Faculty Meeting and Awards Convocation. This year's event will be held on Friday. The nominees come from a variety of departments thoughout the university. James Costa, assistant professor of biology, received his master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Georgia. He has been teaching at WCU since 1996 and says that he enjoys the chance to inspire students. Costa said that his favorite thing about teaching is "the element of surprise that comes from presenting something that the student just may never have thought about before." Kathy Ivey, assistant professor of mathematics and computer science, received her master's degree from Teaching Awards continued on page 3
