  • Page Two THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Wednesday, May 22, 1945 The Western Carolinian Bi-Monthly publication of the Student Association at Western Carolina Teachers College, Cullowhee, North Carolina. Wednesday, May 22, 1945 WESTERN CAROLINA STAFF Editor-in-chief— Lynwood H. Halliburton Associate Editor— Beverly M. Godfrey Society Editors— Madrie Galloway Nancy Allison Sports Editor—Wingate Hannah Feature Editor—Jeanne Hampton Assistant Feature Editor— Jean Hall Circulation Manager— Thomas A. Corley Assistant Circulation Managers— Perry R. Frye Joe G. Henry Philip Penland Reporters—Anne Ray, Jean Lyda Manuscript Editors— Mary F. Long Mary Smathers Thelma Joyce Finch Faculty Advisors—Mable Tyree Charlotte Watson Business Manager— Mary Hall Crawford Business Advisor— Ruth Oliver Hinds Member Associated Collegiate Press Distributor of Collegiate Digest A BIG RESPONSIBILITY By JEAN HALL No one realizes better than the Editor that he has assumed a very big responsibility now that he has actually begun his duties as Editor of The Western Carolinian. For two years he has been an active member of the Journalism Club, and it has been inspirational to him to observe the fine work of his two immediate predecessors, Helen Hartshorn and Beverly Godfrey. His only hope is that he may be equal to their efficiency and ability in the editing of the paper next year. With the cooperation of the Journalism Club and the Student Body which he sincerely solicits, the Editor is certain that he can do so. He will always be aware of the trust placed in him by those who elected him and will earnestly endeavor to print a paper which will make them feel they have not made an unwise choice in selecting him as Editor of their Western Carolinian. In these dramatic days when the powers of the right are asserting anew the privilege of all peoples to freedom of the press, it shall be the policy of The Western Carolinian to be in the greatest possible sense the organ of the student body. This has always been true to a certain extent, of course, but will be more true in the future. A student newspaper, in the Editors opinion, is the acme of democratic expression. Nowhere in the world, perhaps, is there greater freedom of the press than that enjoyed by American collegs newspapers. Our college newspaper is a good one, and it is our privilege to keep it so. Not only is it our privilege—it is our duty. We will do so! PRESIDENT TRUMAN When Harry S. Truman took over the reins of the presidential office on that fateful day of April 12, 1945, he acknowledged what everyone knew at the time—that he had taken upon his shoulders one of the greatest burdens of responsibility on earth. In his message to Congress and to the armed forces shortly after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, President Truman re-assured the shaken population of nearly half the globe that his policy would be in a very real sense that of the dead American chief executive. He rallied the nation around him and made them more confident in their new president by the sincere, earnest manner in which he strove to carry on, insofar as was possible, as though nothing had happened. He called upon God to keep him, to guide him in the way of the right. All he desired was to be "a faithful servant to my God and to my people." Harry Truman will be a good president. All of us realize that he is not as colorful, not as brilliant perhaps, not so commanding a figure as Franklin Roosevelt. However, despite his quiet, unassuming character, he is an able, just, and Christian statesman. He is highly respected and admired by that branch of the government with which he will most have to work—the Congress. And he has already demonstrated that he can work with congress. We have much faith in President Truman; we have great hopes for him. He is our president; we support him, and he will bring the war to a successful conclusion and help to win the peace. WAR CRIMINALS London has announced that the first trials for war criminals will be held May 31. This is indeed good news to the ears of the American people. We had begun to be somewhat disappointed and apprehensive upon hearing reports that some of the more notorious Nazis and collaborationists were being "pampered", to use the terminology of The Asheville Citizen. It will be to the credit of the United Nations if all the known war criminals are ruthlessly hunted down and punished for their heinous crimes against God and mankind. It would not be an exaggeration, perhaps, to say that at no time in the history of the world have there existed so many brutal, unprincipled, and desperately diabolic men as those who will soon come before the United Nations War Crimes Commission. Their names—Goering, Himmler, Quisling, Hess, Deat, Doenitz, Laval, and many others read like chapter headings in an evil book or signposts on the road to Hell. They must be punished—they will be punished. The American people, like the peoples of all the Allied Nations, must stand steadfast in their determination to see that justice is done. We are humane people, and we are willing to overlook the faults of others in a sincere desire to give men another chance to prove themselves good world citizens. But we must remember that there are some persons who do not understand any language except the one in which they speak. In order to be truly humane, in order to make the world a better place in which to live, we must, and we will exterminate without mercy the roots of evil to all mankind. STUDENT GOVERNMENT We have on this campus one of the most valuable assets that any community may possess—co-operative government. It is such a commonplace function here that we have come to accept it almost as unconsciously as we accept the air we breathe or the food we eat. However, it is intelligent and proper for us to pause and think just what a priceless privilege we are enjoying. In many colleges and institutions of secondardy learning there is no such organization as student government. Some educators think it impractical—some say it cannot function efficiently. What we have accomplished here at Western Carolina gives the lie to such a statement. Our government is Student-Faculty Co-operative government. We understand each other, and we get along together. Our student government is one of the most attractive features of Western Carolina Teachers College. The editor is acquainted with a number of students who, when the choice of a college had to be made from among several much alike in their offerings, chose this college because of its student government. And these students were not disappointed by a superficial structure when they arrived. They found the durable, efficient, and practical organization for which they were seeking. Student government is one of the most priceless opportunities to a college student. It is a far cry from the days when colleges were administered arbitrarily by the faculty and the students were given no voice in that administration. Here at Western Carolina some of us have been somewhat lax in carrying out our duties recently: some of us have failed to attend the important meetings of the Senate and other governmental activities. Our excuse has been that we were too busy. We must not develop that attitude. We must realize the value of what we have been given and treat it accordingly. BEVERLY GODFREY The students of this institution sincerely regret to lose Beverly Godfrey as a member of the college community. She is graduating this year, leaving a record of high honor and achievement behind her. Miss Godfrey served under the Council of Student Publications in two major positions. She was editor of The Western Carolinian and business manager of the Catamount during her senior year, and member of several clubs where she always took a leading part in group projects and activities. She has distinguished herself in particular by the efficient manner in which she edited The Western Carolinian. Her staff was small, but with the loyalty she commanded from all of them she was able to publish a good student newspaper. The quality of her editorials has been very high and has brought admiration from all quarters. She has brought The Western Carolinian through another year with flying colors. Good luck to you, Betty. We are counting on you to be a huge success in your future vocation as you have been in college. The "Own Your Own Home" move will save a lot of other moves—with no place to move to.
