wc news@email .wcu.edu CSI CULLOWHEE New Program in Forensic Sciences Launches in Fall A scientist pushes a cart containing a badly decomposed body into an over-sized refrigerator and pulls down the doctors mask that had been shielding him from the stench of death. Its definitely a homicide, the scientist says, removing his latex gloves as a pair of loud snaps echo through the lab. The police have a murder on their hands. On the other side of the room, another scientist is examining a fragment of bone. Looks like this one was about 55 years old at the time of death, maybe 6 feet tall, she says, peering through the microscope to see what other clues can be discovered from the remains. It may sound like a fictional scene from the hit TV show CSI, but its a scenario that could soon play out for real in the basement floor of the Western Carolina Universitys McKee Building, home to the a new area of study in the forensic sciences. Call this highly anticipated new program CSI Cullowhee. John Williams, one of only 55 board-certified forensic anthropologists in the United States, has joined the faculty in Westerns department of anthropology and sociology to develop the program of study. Williams, who comes to Western after 23 years at the University of North Dakota, is a biological anthropologist who specializes in forensic anthropology - the study of the human skeleton in legal situations. Western plans to offer a new concentration in forensic anthropology within the department of anthropology and sociology beginning in fall 2004, and the university will begin development of a masters degree program in forensic anthropology, with classes perhaps available by fall 2005. We want to meet student demand for a program in forensics, said Williams. Forensics sciences have become one of the most highly sought-after degree programs in the past few years, and enrollments are up at forensics programs at colleges and universities across the nation. Some experts have attributed the increased interest in forensics to such popular television programs as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, The X-Files and Cold Case, and to such high-profile court cases as the O.J. Simpson murder trial and the Chandra Levy missing person case. Williams warns that TV and movie writers take the same sort of creative liberties with forensic scientists that they do with police officers, attorneys and emergency room doctors. Forensic anthropology is a fascinating field, but were not out there every day at crime scenes, he said. Our work is primarily in the lab, running tests or analyzing DNA, and then testifying in court about our findings. A fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, Williams is a member of a team of specialists called DMORT (Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team), a federal agency in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that activates forensic anthropologists, pathologists, fingerprint experts, funeral home directors and other specialists to deal with mass fatality disasters. Shortly after Sept. 11, 2001, Williams spent about two weeks sorting through debris from Ground Zero - the site of the destroyed twin towers of the World Trade Center. A founding member of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, he also has assisted in the identification of victims of two airline crashes, and recently developed a procedure to aid cemeteries in moving unvaulted graves. On the job at Western since the beginning of the 2003 fall semester, Williams is transforming a large section of the basement level of the recently renovated McKee Building into a working forensic anthropology laboratory and outfitting it with laboratory equipment, including large refrigerators capable of storing human bodies, microscopes and examining tables. When complete, the lab will specialize in human identification, the effects of decomposition on the human body, and injury to the human skeleton. For more information about Westerns programs in forensic anthropology, contact the department of anthropology and sociology at (828) 227-7268. Donald Jackson Thomas III of Snellville, Ga., (left) and Deborah Ruth Adams of Cary (center), students in an anthropology class at Western Carolina University, take measurements of a human skull under the supervision of John Williams, one of only 55 board-certified forensic anthropologists in the nation. Williams joined Westerns department of anthropology and sociology in the fall to develop new programs in forensic anthropology at the university. enhance cell phone service not fustc on campus, but ee ihe entire Cullowhee Valley, 2 / _ Through the agreement approved by Westerns board, Verizon Wireless will lease the rooftop space at the rate of $15,000 per year for an initial term of five years, with four __ tenewable terms of five years each for a potential overall lease term of 25 years. The project is subject to the Jackson County cell phone tower ordinance, and Verizon must submit an application for the installation, Wooten said.
