THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN FALL SPECIAL EDITION Page 3 Well, I'm back again. No more "Dear Mom" letters though. Let's face it, they were getting a little old. Et cetera |in small letters) is the name of this new column. I bet you're just dying to know how 1 came up with a name like et cetera. Well, it's Latin for "and so on" or something like that. But you already knew that. It's the little "etc." you use on essay tests when you can't think of anything else to write. [And all this time you thought you were really fooling people! | Well, I was lying in bed the other night and I couldn't sleep because I was trying to think of a name for this column. The column is suppose to be about college life, but it's suppose to be broad in scope. Sounds like a paradox to me. The first title I came up with was "College Life." Somehow, that lacked something. So then I thought of "The College Years." Come on Chip, you can do better than this. By now It's 3 a.m. My next biggie was something really creative! "College Kids," with the "s" written backwards and all the letters written kind of crooked. Next, I thought I'd get exotic and use a foreign phrase. 4 a.m.: "Cul-de-sac". Sounds kinda good, but definitely too commital. It's kind of pessimistic and negative, and I didn't think the column would always be that way. Then I thought of "et cetera", but I didn't like it. So then I came up with "Vis-a-vis," and "viz," before I started getting really tired and decided on "et cetera," subject to change. ["Subject to Change" wouldn't have been a bad name either, except it doesn't sound like Cullowhee.] You know how sometimes you can come up with an Idea or make a decision that you really don't think is all that great, but then you start trying to justify it anyway until it starts sounding pretty good? That's what I did with "et cetera." I thought, "Well, it's definitely non-commital. It's sort of foreign and literary in a way...and I think it's kind of satyrlcal! Yes, by God It Is! I mean think of it: all these people are reading the news and then they come to this column which in essence says...and so on...It's a satyrc on news. And college life just goes on and on too, (especially for some of us], so it's about college life." So that is my justification. Now I'm out of things to write. Well all I have to say is the same old stuff: Welcome back to Cullowhee, hope you had a good break, welcome all in-coming freshmen, goodbye all out-going drop-outs, it's not good to drink and drive, you might hit a bump and spill the whole thing, etc. FOR I TWICE omm\.\ COST FRANKLY SPEAKING by phil frank © College Media ces Bo*9411 Berkeley. Co 94?09 ilTTal I ;l M! hi FW1ZT51 1 The American political scene is ready for major changes. People sense they are on a treadmill, headed in no particular direction. People In this country have not, and will not tolerate the present situation much longer. Americans are finally realizing that we do have control over our destiny—that problems of energy, the environment, and the Soviet threat can and must be met. It is a matter of national will to survive and prosper. It is not forces over which we have no control that are responsible for the condition that we are in today, but rather forces which we do have control over. The energy crisis is a good example. Since the early '70's, forces within the U.S. have been allowed to hinder development of domestic sources of energy. Environmentalists have pushed enormous amounts of legislation discouraging the mining of coal, and the development of nuclear energy—two important keys to energy independence. This country Is not short of ThelTruelview Political changes are most assuredly on the way as Mr Wilkins stated in his editorial, but they will not happen in the direction he foresees. The "neoconser- vative" movement that he referred to will be much like a dead firecracker, a lot of noise that will just fizzle out. The forces within the U.S. that Wilkins said were hindering development of energy resources are the demigods who run the oil companies. Through their political plea bargaining with politicos (i.e. North Carolina's Jesse Helms, Presidential hopeful Ronald Reagan, etc) the oil companies have been able to create an energv shortage bv not buvinc.oil on the openmarket and by ignoring research into synthetic fuels. , Environmentalists have not been the detriment to the production of coal except that they will not accept the oil companies stand that the only way to mine coal is through strip mining in which all of the lands resources are destroyed. There are mining methods that are in practice at this time that allows the coal to be mined without harming the landscape. The process is slightly more expensive, but when it involves destroying thousands of acres of wildlife that produce food, shelter and much more, it becomes cheaper than destroying it. I he true weakness with Wilkins and the people who agree with him is that they are only looking at things with the single perspective of what is good now, what can help us now. rather than what can help us now and in the future. This single perspective on life unmasks itself even further when Wilkins says that the Americans have shirked the free world in the aftermath of Vietman. The only countries that the Americans have shirked in the recent past has been the Shah of Iran and Anastasio Somosa of Nicaragua, both of whom were dictators. If these two were nart of the "free world'- count me out. He insists on noting the 'dangers' of the Soviet bloc and that military forces and weapons must be increased. The amount of money that is sunk :nto the military every year is staggering, over a tourm, wnicn is second only to HEW. The real danger lies in the realization that some politicians would foresake our domestic problems in favor of increasing our military might that is still number one in the world. (Believe it or not) It is true that the public is tired of politicians who try to appease; particulary certain interest groups such as the oil companies and the large business corporations. The populous is read^ for leaders who are out to appease the people, not the rich. The will of the people will show through in the 1980 elections to Wilkins and his entire neoconservative movement as a new wave of politicians concerned with people instead of figures will be America's new force. The 'liberal left' is the real right line of American thoughts and belief. energy because of an actual shortage, but by a failure of political nerve to do what's necessary to exploit the resources, we in fact, have. Another area which Americans are rediscovering is our responsibility to the free world, which we shirked in the aftermath of Vietnam. Meanwhile, The Soviets have embarked on a massive strategic and conventional arms buildup. Americans now realize that we must increase our military forces to maintain some semblance of super power parity. The ways the changes will come about are uncertain. One thing is certain—the growth of the neoconservative movement. Americans are discovering that after years of electing politicians who practice conciliation and appeasement, it is time to elect leaders who are willing to make brave and even politically harmful decisions for the good of the whole country, not the vocal militants. It is through this political movement that American will experience a resurgence of national will and international respect Jimmy's Psalm He'll kick vour ASS Dear Editor, I received the following verse in the mail and would like to share it with your readers. "Jimmy Carter is my shepherd, I shall not want. He lcadeth me beside still factories and abandoned farms. He restoreth my doubt about the Democratic Party. He annointeth my wages with taxes and inflation so my expenses winneth over my income. Surely poverty and hard living shall follow the Democratic Party and I shall work on a rented farm and live in a rented house forever. Five thousand years ago Moses said 'Pack up your camel, pick up your shovel, move your ass, and I will lead you to the promised land.' Five thousand years later FDR said, 'Lay down your shovel, sit on your ass, and light up a Camel; this is the promised land.' This year Jimmy Carter will take your shovel, sell your camel, kick your ass, and fell you he gave away the promised land. I'm glad I'm an American. I'm glad I'm free. I wish I was a dog and Jimmy Carter was a peanut tree." Hope you liked it. Sincerely, Name withheld by request.
