Editorials Glad To Be Here Welcome to Cullowhee, and from the Western Carolinian best wishes for a good year. If you're a returning student, you no doubt remember the fire that destroyed Joyner building, along with our offices, last Winter. It is a pleasure to report that after a long summer shake-down period, the Carolinian is once again back to normal operations and functioning smoothly. Due to new typesetting and the work of dedicated writers, designers, photographers, and an excellent staff, the Carolinian will be presenting an improved format. It is a paper that we think will be more readable and more pleasing to look at. This Fall Special Edition is the most massive undertaking of the year for the Carolinian. Some features that are new to the Fall Edition this year are humor columns, a feature on the various departments within the school, and other material that will help a new student adjust to the wiles of college life. The entire issue is oriented to help freshmen and transfers get to know the area a little faster, and to be used as a reference throughout the year. Be sure to pick us up throughout the year if you want to be informed as to what's going on at WCU. The paper will also be more entertaining this year, with quality columnists and nationally syndicated, college oriented Western Carolinian EDITOR IN CHIEF Jim Buchanan BUSINESS MANAGER Tim Thompson ASSOCIATE EDITOR Toni Saddler MANAGING EDITOR Rick McDaniel DESIGN DIRECTOR Hughes Grogan CHIEF PHOTOGRAPHER Tim Thomas PRODUCTION ASSISTANTS: Cathy McDaniel Jennifer Passalacqua PRODUCTION: Marilee DeLuca Beth Grable Cyndie Enoch Chuck Arney Andy Sloan Todd Peeler WRrTERS: Larry Hardin Chuck Arney Vicki Schaker Darrell Beck Saundra Hendricks Maria Smith Linda Sharpe AD DESIGN: Chris Wilkins Lindsey Carter Craig McCausland features. The continued growth of the University, with constant improvement in its' scholastic achievements and athletic programs, promises to make the year in Cullowhee an exciting on:. A note to freshmen: WCU is not just a dot on a map and a cluster of buildings; it's a unique community. You're at a university, albiet a small one but nonetheless a university. You meet as many different kinds of people here as you'll meet anywhere. The point I'm trying to make is that Western is only as dull as you make it. If you want to learn, you can learn as much here as anywhere; if you like To meet people, there are several thousand new faces around you; and whatever goals you have in life, this is as good a place as any to start moving toward them. It's here at your disposal. Make as much of it as you can , or you'll never know what you missed. Observations Noli me tangere impune lacessit (No-one touches me without paying for it!) EDITOR'S NOTE: E. G. Rhett is the great grandson of Oswald Simon Prey (O. S. Prey), a relative of John James Audubon, in the the low-country of Georgia and South Carolina. He is now retired in Western North Carolina, and he has consented, at my request, to contribute occasional essays to this newspaper. It is with great reluctance that I take up the pen of my maternal ancestor, Oswald Simon Prey (1798-1898), yet I dare to do so in order that my fellowmen may taste something of Jhe wit that genetically passed from him to me and others of his descendants, at different times. As an inhabitant of this valley and as one connected peripherally with its academic functions, 1 have considered that some of the observations which I now make might be beneficial to those who read this publication. At the beginning, then, of the Autumnal Planting, I am pleased to praise the great care that the High Foreman of the Plantation has troubled himself to take in tidying up the grounds on which the Farmers, Low-Foremen, Slaves, and others perform their various tasks. The idea of a University, as ICardinal Newman so neatly indicated, is that there must be "a community of scholars, 'free from monetary necessities,' able to transmit to students the virtues and values of superior thought." What a fine concept, and how sweetly can it be carried out! So then, Slaves, come here, as you have apparently chosen to do, and enjoy the pleasures and the hardships of a place of learning. The High Foreman, despite his many frailties, is a benign, interesting, and well-informed individual who will do you a variety of favors and will keep you comfortably occupied in the years of your serfdom! Be welcome, thus, and try to keep a pleasant countenance while you are here. Know, too, that all Farmers (faculty-types), Low- Forement (Department Heads and Deans), and other people on the Plantation are here for service to you, the Slave. Believe it or not, you are better treated at this place and in this time than when you were in your cradle or, even now, when you are locked in your lover's arms. So, relax, study, and be thankful for all favors, great and small! Mens sana, corpora sana. VALETE!!! Strange Bedfellows Hopeless Head Meets Freddie Frat "And though our hearts may turn, it's only when you listen that you learn'-Dan Fogelberg '79 All freshmen and transfer students will find Cullowhee to be a totally new environment, an environment of things to be avoided and events to be enjoyed. If you are new to the area, you will have to find out what kinds of people you want to deal with and what types of professors you wish to study under. Here is a list of generalizations to help you new students out there. First, look at the professors: PRIMA DONNA PROFESSOR: Very closed minded, at least his students think so. Usually this overly confident prof degrades his students to establish himself boss and them as the servants. He finds it very hard to lower his egocentricity to the student's level of intellect. PERSUASIVE PROFESSOR: This professor is ususally male. He favors outside participation after his classes. If you (females) have a class under such a professor and your grades are not above average, ask him if there is "anything I can possibly do to improve my grade". You might uplift your scores by showing interest in exams. POSITIVE PROFESSOR: This is the rarest of all professors at WCU. You will experience only a few of these dedicated teachers in your pursuit of higher learning. These profs make coming to class a joy rather than a bore. Unlike the two above mentioned instructors, you will learn something of value from these. Enough about professors. Here is a look at the assortment of students: CARELESS CATAMOUNT: Many of Western's fans worship Dick Crum and hate Bob Waters. These supporters consider real football to be encompassed in the ACC. Besides, who at Chapel Hill has heard of the Southern Conference? REAGAN'S REMEDY: Happy his kind are now in power in Washington, this campus political conservative is overjoyed to be involved with the majority for a change. He is thrilled to be a part of the movement to stop inflation and bring religion back to the schools. LEFTIST LIBERAL: In fear of Jesse Helms campaigning for the presidency in 1984, the liberal student is dedicated to stop injustice during the Reagan administration. This brand belives that the only hope for the future of politics is in Senator Edward Kennedy. Be extra careful to cover your test answers and keep a tab on your girlfriend when this type is around. HOPELESS HEAD: Rarely venturing out of his dormitory, this airhead has graduated from high school as a space cadet and hopes to become a commander by the end of his freshman year. Usually after his first two years of study at Western, he can go back home to work at the Pizza Hut, and miss all the good Cullowhee homegrown. FRED FRATERNITY: This type is easily identified by his choice of subjects for conversation such as women, baseball, cars, and how much time he spent in Forsyth during the past week. More than likely, this brother will ramble on about how much money his father makes and the type of job Fred's going to get at a major corporation. SALLY SORORITY: Always in the mood to gossip and talk of past proms, this sister is wrapped up in a conformist attitude which sees Western as a good place to get her MRS degree. She attracts the brothers by wearing garrish colors and smelling like Evening in Paris. CULLOWHEE CAMPER: It is impossible during your 4 (or more) years at WCU to avoid running into this type. He is easily recognized by his selection of clothing. Even in the middle of the summer, this person wears hiking boots and flannel shirts (as if he is prepared to ascend Mount Mitchell). Besides his attire, he generally loves health food (dehydrated) and yogurt. PROFESSIONAL PUPIL: This student is never seen studying! He spends his time partaking of sex and drugs. Like many professors here, this student could receive tenure! I am certain you will find many more types of individuals than I have listed. I have tried only to hit the highlights. Remember, regardless of who you meet, you are here to listen to others and benefit from your encounters with them.
