(WCU's Independent Student Voice) I WESTERN \9 aroliniaN Features Section Has New Dictator!!! Pg-8 A May 02, 2001, Vol. 65, Issue 28 www.westerncarolinian.com Cullowhee, USA List of Potential Budget Cuts for '01-'03 Released By Teresa Eberly Contributing Writer The university has released a list of potential budget cuts for the years 2001-2003. The programs among those suggested for elimination are the Mountain Heritage Center Museum, the Math/ Science Network, the Mountain Resource Center, and the Mountain Aquaculture Center. Several students are upset by the possibility of losing so many programs that have been a significant part of WCU. Weaver Haney said, "I can't believe they want to cut these programs. I support the Mountain Resource Center." Daniel Weger said, "I disagree with cutting any of these programs." Joe Innis said, "It seems a bit strange that the university has all this money to renovate old buildings, but not enough to keep the programs that have been such an important part of WCU." To answer this question, which many other students may also be asking, Chancellor Bardo spoke about the potential budget cuts at the General Faculty Meeting on Friday, April 27. Bardo said that unfortunately the money the university has to spend in different areas and programs comes from separate checking accounts, and that the money in one cannot be moved to another. For instance, the money in housing comes from student fees, and the money for salaries at WCU comes from the state, so they cannot be interchanged. The renovation money comes from the bond issue, voted on this past year. Abe Weaver said about the potential losses to the university, "I think the priorities of this university are a bit off camber." The fact is that these are only potential budget cuts, and the North Carolina legislature is in the process of deciding what programs to eliminate at all the state universities. If enough students complain about the idea of losing some of these beneficial programs, there is a strong possibility that they will not be cut. The chancellor and administrative staff of WCU are not responsible for the possible losses to the university. Chancellor Bardo said Friday that usually in these cases the state legislature asks for a certain percentage of reduction to a given state university, and they allow the chancellor and administration to make specific decisions which will do as little damage as possible. This time the North Carolina legislature is allowing the chancellors and administrative staffs of the state's universities to make recommendations, but the legislature will be making the final decisions. Students who would like to let the North Carolina legislature know that any or all of these programs should not be eliminated, may contact the representatives for Jackson County. Representatives include: Robert C. Carpenter and Dan Robinson for the Senate and Marge Carpenter, R. Phillip Haire, and Roger West for the House. You can look up who represents a specific county by going to http://www.google. com and typing in "North Carolina Legislature." One of the sites this search will bring up is the NC government home page, where one of the options at the top of the page is "representation." From there you can look up NC representatives by county. Orators, Clowns Honor WCU By Samantha Helms Asst. News Editor On Wednesday, students dressed formally and ritual clowns of various cultures could be seen performing a ritual in front of the Alumni Tower. This experiential learning activity is tied to Anthropology 365: Religion, Magic, and Myth. The idea was to get students to understand what it takes to organize a ritual like this. "They've been reading about this but had to actually put a ritual together to know that it takes time, effort, money, and teamwork to make it work right," said Dr. Ted Coyle, an anthropology professor who was a key participant in the ritual. The ritual itself was to honor Western Carolina University in light of upcoming changes. Coil said that WCU is experiencing many changes including new buildings, budget cuts, and suggestions to cut programs. "All the new changes are helping to revive and renew the excitement of WCU," said Ethan Clapsaddle, who participated in the ritual. The ritual involved orators, who explained what is good about WCU, and ritual clowns, who mimicked wild people at Western but eventually encouraged and praised the orators. Four students who were dressed formally, Casey-Rae Burgess, Steven Heatherly, Ethan Clapsaddle, and Daniel Johnson, spoke about what they think are the positive aspects of WCU. There were also dancers, musicians, and artists involved who participated in the ritual and helped decorate. "We should think about Western with good feelings," said Coyle. "If we don't, we won't feel good about ourselves." Theta Xi Receives Awards By Cory Habicht Asst. Sports Editor The Theta Xi fraternity was awarded with four honors from their Grand Lodge in St. Louis, MO. The awards were for outstanding performance in the school year of 1999-2000. The two most prestigious acknowledgments were designated as "Benchmarks of Excellence." These included a First Place award for demonstrating outstanding operations in the area of fraternity involvement and for outstanding operations in the area of membership education. Furthermore, the fraternity was given an "Achievement Award" in two more categories. The awards recognized outstanding membership recruitment and being a member of the most outstanding region, the Southeast. Brad Miller, the president of Theta Xi, felt the brotherhood worked extremely hard for the honors and was pleased to be recognized. "All of the brothers put a lot into this place, and that's what makes it a great fraternity," he said. "These awards are not the work of one or two people but everyone coming together and trying to make this fraternity a great place." He added that the national recognition is great to have, but that it alone does not motivate the fraternity. "Everyone is really fired up to get these awards, but that's not why we work so hard," he said. "We have a strong brotherhood who knows what it takes to make a fraternity work the way it should, and I think that is the main reason our nationals have decided to recognize us." This year's awards will be presented at the national conference in August held in Palm Springs. The event is biannual and features two representatives from every chapter in the country.
