Classic ENTERTAISMEST page 6 Western Carolinian Voice of the Students Volume XLVI Issue 36 July 15, 1982/Cullowhee, North Carolina Phone 227-7267 WCU Draws Fire From Local Businesses by: MICHAEL A. DAVIS In an informal meeting held last Friday with several Jackson County Chamber of Commerce directors, a group of local businessmen accused WCU of unfairly, and possibly illegally.competing with private enterprise. However, WCU officials, who were not invited to, or notified of, the meeting, have responded to the allegations, and have denied any wrongdoing. The controversy, led by the groups spokesman, William B. Dillard. of Cullowhee, centers around State General Statute 66-58, known as the Umstead Act, which prohibits state agencies, with certain exceptions, from competing with local merchants. The group presented a seven-point grievance of possible university violations along with a petition, signed by sixteen merchants, to the Chamber, asking that they request an investigation of those charges by the State Attorney General's office, to see if possible legal action is warranted. In prepared statements Tuesday and Wednesday, Chamber board president Cecil Brooks declared the accusations "without justification", refused to request an investigation, and disassociated himself and the Chamber from any further involvement. JACK HANEY photos by: TIM SCHUTZ WILLIAM DILLARD Information gathered by the Carolinian indicates that over several years there have ben isolated incidents where various departments of the university have possibly violated the Umstead Act. During late 1976 and early 1977, David Rayburn, formerly owner of T.D.'s Newsstand, discovered the University Book and Supply Store in direct competition with his business on certain non-education related items. Rayburn said, "When 1 first began expanding my business 1 made it a practice to check the supply store to see if they stocked certain items. Ididn't want to compete with them because my capital was very limited; I wanted to offer items they did not so I could kep my inventory moving. But shortly after I added records, they got them in." According to Rayburn, similar incidents followed. Rayburn expanded his paperback line and the supply store followed suit. One particular incident which angered Rayburn occurred when the supply store manager at that time, T.G. Emmons, was asked by Rayburn if he planned to stock hardcover novels. Emmons told the Carolinian in 1977 that he told Rayburn he had no intention of selling them. Shortly afterward, however, the supply store began carrying to page four Jackson County A irport: Past, Present, Future by: ERIC SCHUTZ The Jackson County airport is the most expensive and most extensive and most controversial project ever undertaken by the county. Sitting on Berry Ridge overlooking WCU, the airport has been the subject ot endless debate, legal actions and heated emotion. The fate of several local politicians has been determined by the events surrounding the conception and construction of the airport. The approach taken in building the facility made it necessary to use ;massive quantities of filler to provide a bed for the 3400 foot runway. Use of improper material has resulted in the failure of the fill slope at the southern end of the runway and the loss of some 600 ft. of landing strip. In this first of a three part series. The Carolinian will examine the events leading up to the completion of construction. On August 26, 1967, the voters of Jackson County authorized a 100,000 bond issue to finance the cost of land acquisition, grading, and drainage for a county airport. In November of 1968, D.C. Barbot Associates, Incorporated was commissioned to make a feasibility study. Three possible sites were investigated, and on December 21, 1971, the Federal Aviation Administration officially agreed with Barbot's recommendation that a detailed evaluation of the Berry Ridge Mountain site in Cullowhee be undertaken. D.C. Barbot INC. was then commissioned to develop plans and specifications for a county airport at this location. By January of 1972, exploratory borings and seismic surveys had been carried out to determine the nature of the soil and rock present at the site. The plans called for levelling three peaks and filling intervening valleys with as much as 300 feet of rock. On April 15 1972. an analysis of the construction techniques necessary to maintain a minimum factor of safety for the proposed fill slopes was submitted to D.C. continued to page four Communism, Socialism, Humanism, and Brouwerisms nM* k^ sWf" # C* :onttS|r^ fce«ne IV'-*.1« OCT"" „6 *S.e" ~w\e «l«= ~ ac enve-^ e* oo*s **-5.7l tS>f5**l «*Sed^e* \ves»e,0t (V»e »?.*... tJ»v **S£ Gertflan^~asl0 tess^> des' \r°1 ed »ni« *+&+<* b»s*s tnto' res eW ittPV ovt« C»v oU«a \)nWe occ»terhev*»nV;obsef to" b\<- soC\r>»ct,f! ^t^r»"^Sf^">- ttv&S' to so' me* ,V»ere rr*' , pa"** *«e sbe fco««e- ""stf5-* ta*e e\se" by: MARY ELLEN FLEMING and JOEY MILLER Recently The Carolinian had the opportunity to interview Ogden and Florence Brouwer, publishers of "The Mountain Lakes Shopper". "The Shopper" is a free publication with operations centering in Andrews, NC. The masthead of the paper states that it's purpose is to "report government news for liberty loving, God fearing, homeowning families". The discussion with Mr. and Mrs. Brouwer covered many topics. Mr. and Mrs. Brouwer expressed their views on the public education system, foreign aid, humanism, socialism, communism and race relations. The shopper purportedly stands for the protection of the American family from government interference. The Brouwers are against the US giving foreign aid and technical assistance to any country. The Carolinian's interest in "The Shopper" and the Brouwers arose when they published a rebuttal to a letter which they received, supposedly written by a Western Carolina University student. They feel the letter unjustly branded themselves and their publication as Neo-Nazi. In their reply to the letter, Mr. Brouwer attacked the educational system, claiming that the teaching of "socialogy" and Humanism is to be blamed for social problems. When asked about the derogatory comments aimed at Western Carolina University in his rebuttal Mr. Brouwer replied, "Number one, all we said about the university was this, that, in other words, do you have many like that, that write letters like that? I don't want you to take this personally as far as the letter goes, but the thing is, it's a shame there are people like that in the university that are going to reflect upon the university." Mr. Brouwer believes that our university employs professors who teach communism and socialism, and manipulate students to work for a New World Order, the American-Russian Socialist Republic. The Brouwers expressed their concern for what they believe are inadequacies in the public school system. They understand the public classrooms to to teach Humanistic values without moral and academic rights and wrongs. He explained, "They're teaching now there's no right and there's no wrong, as God's law says there's a right: you shalt not do this, you shalt not do that. Values clarification doesn't say that." In Brouwers opinion, the education system is only one major catlalyst in the breakdown of morality and the family unit. Sex education in the schools is also targeted, "From the angle that they teach promiscuity, in other words, they teach children tq be promiscuous, in other words, sex education, in other words, just like an animal." Mr. Brouwer's views on the educational system are extensive and strong. In his words, "...the public school system is controlled and decadent. It's actually controlled by the Trilateralists, or those who want to educate, in other words, public education now is not education at all, they're called change agents. They indoctrinate the children into what they want them to think about the world. In other words they are actually pushing socialism into our kids so they will accept this as sheep and they will follow it. This is the way it's supposed to be." Mr. Brouwer has taken a biased stand on Humanism and insists that the public education systym creates humanistic values which are then passed on to students. Brouwer says. "Humanism is that man is God, there is no God. Actually it's communism. Man is God, he can predict and he can form his own destiny. "The American Heritage Dictionary" defines Humanism as "a philosophy or attitude that is concerned with human beings, their acheivements and interests rather than with the abstract beings and problems of theology. "Theology is consequently defined as "an organized, often fortnalized body of opinions concerning God and man's relationship to God." Mr. Brouwers' definition of Humanism does not parallel that of the dictionary. The Brouwers also entertain vehement opinions on minorities and race relations. They disagree with interracial fellowship nand believe that the Caucasians must preserve their racial purity. Brouwer says Hitler was right in his beliefs in a pure Aryan race, that is the white race should avoid any infiltration of non-white blood. Anyone who permits or condones interracial reproduction is "mongrelizing" their race. He explained, "III tell you why you're mongrelizing your race. Let's start with the black. Do you think the black has the intellect of the white person? Why is it that the blacks lived in Africa and ate each other? And never did anything at all and they're still living there like that. The only reason they ever came over here is because they've got some \yhite blood in them and they were taught by the whites. They were brought over here to be slaves, but remember, why were they brought over to be slaves? Who sold them? Who sold them to be slaves? They sold each other. Their own people sold them. Now, they lived there for thousands and thousands of years and we're still in the same situation. "My point of view is you better preserve your race. Because if you don't, in other words, what happens is, see, you've got a certain intellect. If you go mixing with a black, your kids will have an intellect lower than yours. No doubt about it...The brain of the white person is, weighs more than the negro's. And the part that's missing in the negro is the frontal lobe, up here, that's the decision making part of the brain. They just lack it. And if you've been around negroes alot, you'll find out they can't make decisions, they can't do it. They're good athletes and all continued on page two
