suspect
arrested
By Sarah Allison
Staff Writer
A UNCA student-security guard
helped apprehend one of three males
who allegedly broke into Gardner
Dorm around midnight Friday, ac
cording to campus police officer
Larry L. Layman.
Police charged Darrell Ervin Potts,
22, of Hillcrest Apartments in Ashe
ville with second degree burglary.
Security apprehended Potts as he
was crawling out of the window but
was unable to capture two other
males who fled from the scene.
Student security officer, John Cla-
bough, spotted someone crawling out
of the bottom window of Gardner
Dorm, said Layman.
It is possible that two other males
fled in a Chevrolet truck which was
reported stolen from behind the
dorms, according to Layman. The
truck was parked in the same lo
cation where police later found some
of the stolen goods.
The stolen truck was later found
in the parking lot at Montford Gro
cery store on Montford Avenue.
Police charged Potts with the
theft of several items worth around
$1,400 from the dorm. Of those
goods, $1,250 were recovered, said
Layman.
According to the Asheville City
Police, Potts is under a $5,000 se
cured bond.
In addition to the burglary, nine
automobile break-ins have occurred
on campus between Sept. 27 and
Oct. 2.
The break-ins are not related to

Career Center faces problems

A lack of student interest makes
the career center’s job an uphill
battle, said David Johnston, director
of Career Planning and Placement
Center.
"When students do not respond to
the ads we run about companies
coming on campus, we have to call
those companies and cancel their
scheduled dates to be here," said
Johnston.
"We have not had any response to
the Miliken Company’s ad," added
Johnston. 'We hope students will
respond so we don’t have to cancel
out on this company.
'When we cancel on a company, it
makes it hard to get them to come
back on campus," pointed out Johns
ton. Companies do not want to set
up times to come and then have
them cancelled at the last minute.
To get good companies to come,
the center needs to build student
participation, said Johnston. It
takes time to do that and to build
up the volume of companies coming
on campus.
"The career center has only been
going for a year, and it will take a
while for us to have the amount of
