Smith said anyone could enter Albright-Benton at any time, because the lobby doors have no locks on them. "Weordered locks 5 1,2 months ago, but they are not here yet," said Snrth. I^oss of the $500 is a severe blow to both Albright-Benton and Harrill Hall which co- sponsor many activites and programs together. Albright-Ben- to.i had planned to award a scholarship this quarter with part of the money, but now will not be able to. "I really wanted to see that scholarship given," said Smith. Several hall students expressed disgust with the campus Security Patrol which to, aate has been unable to stop the thefts. "Parking tickets and panty raids - that's all the) do," was the way hall vice president Toby Hardin pjt it Campus Security officials were unavailable for coirment.

McCrone also will become professor of biology at WCU. He attended Northeastern University and received the bachelor of science and Ph. D, degrees from the University of Florida. He has published extensively in scientific journals. Prior to joining the University of Iowa as director of agency liaison in 1971 .McCrone was associate dean of the grad" uate school and director of re« search of the University of the Pacific. Earlier, he was a member of the faculties of the University of Florida, Florida Presbyterian College, and Fairleigh Dickinson University. His professional memberships include the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the British Arachnological Society, Sigma Xi, the National Council of University Research Administrators, and others. Many of Dr. McCrone's scientific articles have reflected his research on black widow and other venomous spiders. He has been visiting scientist to the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and the Mu- scum of Natural History in Mexico City. He was chairman of the committee on communications with the public of the Association of Graduate Schools in the Association of American Universities and currently is chairman of the committee on governmental affairs of the American College Public Relations Association.

Resolution recognizes 'skills' by Jim Davidson The student senate last night passed a number of resolutions, ranging from internal matters to Chancellor Robinson, The most controversial resolution recognizes the many- professional skills of Dr, Robinson. Passed by a unanimous consensus, this resolution states that: "Dr, H. F. Robinson, whose most eminent qualities as an administrator and educator, and his undeniable devotion to welfare and progress, should not deny the students and faculty of North Carolina State University the enjoyment of the qualities which the students of WCU have so long enjoyed. Therefore, the senate reluctantly suggests thatDr, Robinson should not dismiss quickly offers of the position of Chancellor at NCSU," The resolution was drawn up in view of the recent disclosure that Dr, Robinson is one of five people in the running for NC State's Chancellorship, Sources close to Raleigh say Robinson is using the chancellorship at WCU to get to the vacancy at State, They also say Robinson only accepted the chancellorship at Western be cause he knew State's Chancellorship was going to resign soon. In other senate business, three resolutions were passed which will make slight changes to the present SGA Constitution. Also, a fourth resolution will set up a computered counting of ballots in future SGA elections. In the past, the compiling of election results was at times inaccurate, slow, and subject to numerable disputes. The intent of this resolution was to eliminate many of these past problems, and to also authenticate the election results in a less questionable manner. This new balloting system will first be used on Jan. 28, when the SGA attempts to fill two senator-at-large vacancies, two senator-at-large vacancies, Filing for elections will be from today through January 21, Any interested students should stop by the SGA offices for more details, Before closing, a letter was read from the general manager of WCAT stating that the station will resume broadcasting on January 20. The reason WCAT has been off-the-air is because it presently is undergoing a reconstruction of their old facilities, UCB tubing contest to be held Saturday If you think that "tubing-- floating down a river on an inflated inner tube--is just a pleasant summertime activity, there're some hardy students at Western Carolina University who arc ready to prove you wrong. And they plan to do just that this Saturday at 1 p.m., when about 30 students take to the icy waters of the Tuck aseigee River to compete in the fifth annual WCU winter quarter tubing race. The race, over a 1 1/2 mile course filled with rapids and shallows, is sponsored by the University Center Board, a WCU student organization. Contestants, who must wear wet suits, will vie for prize (Continued PAGE8)
