  • Page 3 Lex Menz, News Editor Recently, new laws have been approved in North Car- olina. The 53 new laws deal mostly with minors and also with driving, such as no tex- . ting while driving a motor vehicle and new speed zone limitations. In a world where the Inter- net has taken off in new, un- imaginable ways, cyber bul- lying has now been made a criminal offense. If someone were found to be harassing someone online, they would be charged with misdemean- or. The law was founded un- der'an act of Protecting our Kids. One Western Carolina University student found the law to be unreasonable. Cant people stand up for themselves? asked Jean- Marie Jonell. I think thats kind of extreme to make that a misdemeanor. People say they dont pick on other peo- ple, but they do... its a part - of life you have to go through. (Its) ...a good punishment if its proven for the extreme. The law that has grabbed the most headlines is no tex- ting while driving. Recently, states have been pushing for hard punishment when it comes to someone ending anothers life after a vehicu- lar accident due to texting on their cell phones. According to The New York Times, Utah drivers can face a 15 year sentence in prison with a heavy fine if they cause a death from texting on the road.

Jeff Gordon at the North Carolina Highway Pa- trol officer stated the law was mostly geared toward teenag- ers, It (a cell phone) provides distraction, said Gordon.

Seth Sherrin said, 1 think it is very appropriate and a_ good law, but I dont see how it is effectively enforced... When the world has begun to revolve around a cell phone, we can get distracted with it especially while driving. | myself have almost been in a wreck due to texting while driving when I was in high school. Other new laws include placing cameras on the side of school buses to capture vehicles passing busses that are stopped to let children off, permitting a habitual impaired driver to apply for the reinstatement of his or her license after ten years, and license plate frames are no longer allowed to block any important information locat- ed on the license plate. This information includes the in- spection sticker and the state name on the plate.

The firm that is guiding the search for Western Caro- lina Universitys next chan- cellor has identified a pool of approximately three dozen possible candidates for the position who already have in- dicated strong interest in serv- ing as the institutions new chief executive officer. That was. the word Wednesday, Jan. 12, from Jer- ry Baker, lead consultant for the Baker and Associates ex- ecutive recruitment firm, dur- ing a telephone meeting of the 16-member chancellor search committee that is helping se- lect WCUs next chancellor. Baker updated commit- tee members on the status of the search to find a successor for John W. Bardo, who an- nounced in October his plans to step down from the chan- cellorship this summer after more than 15 years in the po- sition. Of those who have said they are interested in your po- sition, 22 of them are men or women who are viable, seri- ous candidates, Baker said. The quality of the candidates is really just first-rate, and I am really pleased with where we are at this point in the pro- Cesss The candidates to date come from a wide range of backgrounds, many of them currently working in top lead- ership roles at other public institutions, he said. Some of them are at very large public institutions, including some of the countrys largest and best- known public institutions, he said. | Many of the candidates are sitting chancellors, provosts or academic vice chancel- PHOTO 3 Jerry Baker, lead consultant for Baker and Associates and pictured in center, has filled in the chancellor search committee on the nominees for WCUS new chancellor. lors, while several are deans of large colleges or schools, he said. Four candidates are currently vice presidents or vice chancellors in student af- fairs, and two currently are in leadership positions outside traditional academia who have extensive involvement with higher education, Baker said. Geographically, the candi- dates literally come from coast to coast, with one candidate who is from outside of North America, he said. Baker also outlined the process that the search will take in the weeks ahead. The committee met at 10 a.m. yesterday, Thursday, Jan. 27, in the Ramsey Regional Activity Center to develop a. list of specific questions that it will ask of all candidates dur- ing interviews. Biographical information about the candidates will be shared with search committee members through a confiden- tial, password-protected web- site. The committee will meet again Tuesday, Feb. 15, at the offices of AdvantageWest in Asheville to discuss the top candidates. and to narrow the pool to between eight on 10 candidates to be selected to participate in off-campus interviews. Discussion of in- dividual candidates will take place during closed session, in accordance with the states open meetings laws, which permit public bodies to go into closed session to consider the qualifications of prospective public officers or employees. The goal is for the commit- tee to complete its work and recommend its top choices to the WCU Board of Trustees so that the board can forward the names of at least three nomi- nees to Tom Ross, president of the University of North Carolina system. Ross then will pres- ent his recommendation to the full UNC Board of Governors for final consideration and ap- proval. Steve Warren, chair of the WCU Board of Trustees and chair of the search committee, said it is the goal to have anew chancellor named and ready to lead the university by July 1.
