State A continual | resounded through the hills of Cullowhee during the week end of the W.C.T.C. - N.C. Si stling match, ■ems that Mr." Crawford, the wrestling coach of the Wolfpack, didn't like our lh quarters for visi: ms, our food, our hos pitality, nor the colli that goes. Wolfpack Crawford has evidently been leading Eor LI that he couldn't take- the rough and .rustic life of the mountain ir; next time we'll see that you have a feather bed and caviar with champa all your repasts. We have a little complaining to do also. ^Crawford's jumping up and down from his chair, along with his Napoleonic strut to from the officials' table took away from the spectators a good deal of the enjoyment in watching two good teams compete for honors on the mat. It appeared as if Crawford thought he was honoring our humble institution by bringing to it the name of mighty N. C Stat< seen better wrestling teams from much smaller schools. Mr. Crawford, we must 1 w'Trpnrn'enT'him; in officiating some of matches, he did a good job. Voluntary Hostess? Laws, rules and regulations are made to be followed, not broken. When a rule states that a particular job is purely voluntary on the student's part, it means that he doesn't have to do it unless he wants to. You cannot discipline a student for not doing, or force him to do, something that you have already told him was not compulsory- About The Alumni Association In an editorial appearing in the January 29th Western Carolinian cencern- who should support the wrestling team, some comment was made about the Alumni •ion of the college. The editor receiv- i letter a few days ago from Paul Hill, a 1!J49 graduate of Western Carolina Teachers Collcge..Mr. Hill, since graduating from W.C. T.C., has received a master's degree from the University of North Carolina in public health and is now enrolled in Duk£ University as a ar medical student. Mr. Hill states that "... There should be an ; Alumni Association ... I agree with the article on the point that the boys of the wrest- team should not 'foot the bill', nor should | the students since they're already carrying most of the financial responsibilities. And I • other source of financial aid should be looked upon, namely the alumni. Just because we have graduated, it's no sign that we still don't have a lot of interest in W. C. T. C. I think it's vice versa myself—the ' fact, W. C. T C. 1 have not received to the function! n within "V. last June from the Uni- \ . . 1 received a notice urging me to their Alumni Association. I did because] : sold me on the idea right away. I would rather have joined a W. C. T. C. Alumni As- ition, had they one, and contribute to that school's fund ..." Well, first of all, the college has an Alumni Association; its president is Jonathan Woody of Waynesville^How functional it is I cannot for I am not an alumnus — yet. But evidently it is not very active, for, as can be seen by Hill's letter, our alumni don't know about it. I do not believe that it is the job of the to look after the alumni association, if that is what Mr. Ilill means when he says, "the school has forgotten us." But if he means that those of the college's administration who are responsible for such an association have "... forgotten us," then it goes back to the inactive work and interest the alumni have taken in the school. It is too bad that the graduates of this institution are not kept informed as to what : on here. How can they take any interest at all in the college when they don't even know whether the school has closed down or not. Some sort of information about the school should be sent to the alumni at regular intervals. Other colleges have alumni news published, why can't we? It would take extra workers, but the returns would more tHian pay for their help. Let's hope that the Alumni Association will be around at our graduation and offer us the opportunity of joining an active group—one that will remain active. Although it is not the students' responsibility, I believe that we will offer any help to the W.C.T.C. Alumni Association we can, in order to help it get on its feet and be a really worthwhile and active organization. Eye These Eyes Pseudo-Spring, If You Please OPINIONS What Is Yours?

After all these po: iars of approximately 3 men to every coed at Cullowliee. the change in ratio will really range. With a probable increase in the number of women students and the assured decline in enrollment of the opposite sex, another change will have to be made in dormitory provisions.
