  • SERVING THE CULE OWRHEE AREA SINCE Volume 78, Issue 1 1933 Student charged with sexual battery, other crimes Javed Gant, Staff Writer The last several weeks have seen a marked increase in reports of criminal activity at West- ern Carolina University. Since Jan. 15, there have been three reports of sexual assault, one report of assault on a female and one report of armed robbery. Two students have been arrested in connection with two of the crimes. Logan Christopher Holman of Vale is charged with Attempted 2nd Degree Sexual Offense, Sexual Battery and Assault on a Fe- male for a Jan. 22 assault reported to WCU Police on Jan. 24. Holman, a resident of Cen- tral Drive Hall, is accused of assaulting a non- resident by unwillingly inserting his, fingers into the victims private parts, WCU Police secured a warrant for the ar- rest of Holman on Jan. 25, who promptly left campus to consult with a lawyer according to officers on the case. It is believed he was going _ to turn himself in to WCU Police this week. On Jan. 15, a female student contacted - campus police to report a sexual assault that occurred in Blue Ridge Hall in the early hours of the morning. Sergeant Douglas Hester of the WCU Po- _lice Department said the victim did not want the case to be investigated further and that she did not want to prosecute...and she asked that the alleged suspect in this case not to be held accountable at a university level. It was . found in this investigation that there was no credible evidence to substantiate that a crime had occurred. - The third Soa assault, which occurred | al Wi police reports, WCU police: The sian pono the incident on Jan. 23 and officers questioned the victim -and her RA. When asked about i incident, Set Hester said that WCU Police are continuing to inter- view some folks regarding the incident, and he believed that the case would be resolved ' quickly. : In response to the recent instances of sexual assault, WCU Vice Chancellor for Student Af- fairs Sam Miller sent an email to students last week stating that the alleged assaults occurred in social venues or where students live, and the Victims knew the alleged perpetrators. He cautioned students to avoid becom- ing intoxicated in public,.at parties, or with acquaintances in your room, and to always let someone know where you are going, whom you are going with, and what your itinerary 18.) ; Sophomore Emily Absher said that she is worried by the spike in sexual assaults. Tt bothers me because I dont feel comfort- able walking around school alone at anytime af the day, because a lot of the assaults have happened during the day, she said. When asked if she takes any personal pre- - cautions against becoming a victim, Absher said, I dont talk to random people around - campus unless I know them or a friend knows them. Many students share Abshers concerns. Chris Evans, a senior from Hickory said, Tts a shame that so many of these things are happening. It seems that there have been a lot more instances like this in the past couple of / years than when I was a freshman or sopho- more. He believes that the rapid growth of the University over the past several years has in- fluenced the increase in criminal activity. We used to be a smaller school, but with . growth, we have taken on the crime issues of a- larger university, Evans said. On Jan. 15, a female WCU student was as- saulted outside of Starbucks by Hadi Hamad Almuhamid according to campus police re- ports. Almuhamid is accused of striking the _ victim across her face with his hand during a verbal altercation. Almuhamid was arrested by WCU Police on Jan. 18 and is scheduled to ap- pear in court on Feb. 14. The reported armed robbery occurred on Jan: 17 in the South Baseball parking lot. _ Two WCU students were approached by an unknown individual and threatened with:an object that was believed to be a handgun con- cealed beneath a sweatshirt. The suspect stole $40 in cash from the victims. That individual has not been arrested, and it is unknown if he is a Western Carolina student or not.

Charleston and the College of Charleston have always been a city and university that Ive been interested in, Knotts said on the move to historic downtown Charleston. My mom grew up there and I still have family there. As the Chair of the Political Science Depart- ment, Knotts will undertake many of the same duties that he did when he was head of the Po- litical Science and Public Affairs Department at WCU from January 2008 until June 2011, when the UNC Chapel Hill and Emory Uni- versity graduate was named Interim Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. As a department head, Knotts served on the WCU Department Head Council, hired full- time and part-time faculty members and main- tained relationships with alumni. Dr. Jennifer Schiff, assistant professor in the political science and public affairs depart- ment, was hired on two years ago when Knotts was department head. Gibbs has been one of the bright spots of my first two years as a faculty member at Western, Schiff said. He is always so friend- look out for me as a new faculty member. Hes a big reason I felt so welcomed here in my first year at Western, and I[l miss hirh terribly. Of _ course, I know he ll be incredibly successful in his new position, and I wish him all the best. On his colleague s departure, Dr. Todd Col- lins, an assistant professor in the department | of political science and public affairs, said, He was a good researcher, good teacher, and a good ambassador for WCU. Everything that a faculty member should be, Dr. Knotts was. Thats what we'll miss most about him. On his time at WCU, Knotts said, I am most proud of my work with students: Getting students excited about the political process and research, passing on to them skills that will be useful to them, and then helping them apply those skills in their careers. Knotts, known for his love of research, said that the balance between teaching and research is one factor that helped him decide on WCU as his home in 2000. Since then, Knotts has worked his way up ' from an assistant professor to a full profes- sor, teaching courses on American political parties and state and local government, while also maintaining a solid research reputation. In 2008, Knotts co-edited a book titled The New , Politics of North Carolina with colleague and Interim Political Science and Public Affairs ee Head Chris pee PHOTO BY MARK HASKEY? with superb leadership as, a department head and interim dean. I am confident that he will distinguish himself at the College of Charles- ton just as he has here at Western. . An Olympic Torchbearer for Asheville in 2001, Knotts, who has enjoyed numer- ous teaching and research awards, including the UNC Board of Governors Excellence in Teaching Award in 2010, recollected on his time at WCU with fond memories. The people in this town are extremely nice and supportive and the professors. Ive worked with here are a great group of teach- et-scholars, Knotts said. Its nice to be in a place where people know your name. Im very - thankful for the opportunities ve had at West- ern and I hope that Ive been able to have an impact here. : Knotts will assume his new position at Col- lege of Charleston on July 1. He is excited to teach a course on southern politics in a city like Charleston where the first shots of the Civil War were fired at a federal ship entering Charleston Harbor in 1861. A search for a permanent College of Arts and Sciences dean is already underway. Menz returns to Western leantaee to reassume News Editor position | From Staff Reports Last semester, junior Lex Menz decided to test outa new university for her educational cateer, UNC-Greensboro. She realized after two months however. she would always be a Catarhount. Tt wasnt the right fit for me Menz said. Ne ay missed Westerns campus and the way things worked. UNC-G was much more complicated, - like how to rent text books and being able to graduate. I visited Western in October lic whee I aeued to Greensboro, I just broke down. I realized I made a mistake and wanted to come back, she added. As much as I dislike the - mountains, Cullowhee is my home. Menz was News Editor for the Western Carolinian from October 2010 to May 2011 vand garnered recognition with an Associated Collegiate Press award for her work. Im excited to have Lex back at the news- paper, Western Carolinian Editor-in-Chief Justin Caudell said.
