Cagle
reflects on
past and
future
By Penny Kramp
As the end of his term
nears. Student Government
President Ken Cagle can
look back on two years
that have brought him fun,
frustration, and fame
within the UNC system.
He has helped put UNCA
in the public spotlight by
being elected president of
the North Carolina Student
Government Association for
the last two years.
He is the only student
to serve on the search
comoiittee for a replace
ment for the University of
North Carolina President
William Friday, who an
nounced his retirement
last year.
When Cagle speaks of
President Friday, his
voice takes on a tone of
respect.
"President Friday has an
air of authority; a way of
presenting himself. He is
real open. He will come up
to me and say *How are you
doing Mr. President?***
said Cagle.
Cagle said replacing him
is not an easy job.
**We are looking for
somebody who will stay in
the same track as UNCA is
in now — very service or
iented toward students, **
said Cagle.
. *'If there is anyone I
would like to be it is
William Friday,** said
Cagle, who hopes to follow

Cagle plans to begin his
climb to Friday's heights
by applying to the UNC-
Chapel Hill School of Law.
"I^t me show you some
thing," said Cagle, and
hands over a letter from
UNCA Chancellor David
Brown wishing him luck on
his aspirations to law
school.
Cagle is constantly
scurrying around to find
information, as though to
read something in print
somehow makes it more be
lievable.

"Wait a minute, I know J
had that written down
somewhere. Pat, Pat, did
you see that sheet on the
last board meeting?" Cagle
shouts to his vice-presi-
dent, Pat Cabe.
In the midst of ques
tioning, Cagle suddenly
leaps up and exclaims,
"Have you seen our victory
bell?"
He bounds into the other
office, where a miniature
version of the Philadel
phia Libert/ Bell sits in
the middle of the floor.
"Boy this thing can make
some noise!" he said and
then tips the bell to the
side so a resounding
"bong" sends a tremor
through the tiny roMn.
It is probably this kind
of boyish enthusiasm that
has contributed to Cagle's
popularity and helped him
to stay in office for two
terms.
In fact Cagle reminds
one of the boy next door.
His face could grace any
Clearasil advertisement.
His dark blond hair dips
neatly over his left eye

Swain begins 24 hour lock
Stranger roams dorm
By Penny Kramp
Swain Dormitory began
the first 2A-hour lock-up
in UNCA's dorm Village
after an unidentified man
confronted several resi
dents Saturday.
Witnesses described the
BEm as having reddish-
blond hair and mustache,
standing about 5*8", in
his early 20*s, clean cut,
and wearing a navy blue
ski jacket with a red
stripe.
A Craig resident, Mary
Beth Nelson, first saw the
intruder Friday night
about 8:15, only minutes
before someone tried to
break into her room.
"I was on ny way to ray
room from Vance Hall v^n
I noticed this guy stand
ing on the stairs between
Swain and Ay cock. He kept
on staring and staring at
me," said Nelson.
Nelson continued on to
her room. She said she was
the only one on the hall
at the time.
"It was no time at all,
when I heard the hall
lights click off and then
someone began trying to
force open my door," said
Nelson.
"He tried a couple of
times and then quit. I
waited about 10 minutes
then threw open my door.
He was standing in the
corner and When he saw me
he pushed me out of the
way and ran," said Nelson.
Swain resident Susan
Matthews was in the shower
Saturday morning about
9:45 when a man*s hand
slid between the shower
curtains.
"I grabbed a towel and
it must have startled him
because he left," said
Matthews.
Matthews said she rushed
to her room and saw a man
standing in her hall.
"I asked him what he was
doing and he said he was
waiting for someone," said
Matthews.
Meg Johnson, Swain's re
sident hall assistant, had
the same kind of encounter
about 10 a.m. Saturday.
"I was leaving ny bath-
