  • Friday, February 4, 1966 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN PAGE 5 Senator's Position Must Be Impartial To Assist Function Of The Senate John Roper and Charles Kirk- patrick are the two Senators who are interviewed in this article. John is a representative of the Junior class and Charles is a Day Student Senator from the Freshman class. They will present their views on problems that the Senate faces and also their opinion on the the Senate's work this year. John is from Sylva and is majoring in Social Science and History. John is President of the Young Democrats Club, Treasurer of the Deabte Club, a member of the International Relations Club, and a columnist for the Western Carolinian. On the Senate, he serves as Chairman of the Senate Newspaper, Chairman of the Community Development Committee, and a member of the Course Evaluation and Ways and Means Committees. John had this to say about the Senate," I have found that the major problem facing me as a Senator is balancing the duties of helping to make life more orderly on campus and those of aiding any student desiring such aid. It is my opinion that the primary duty of a student official is to help an individual student in need of assistance. We have entirely enough organizations for the enforcement and prosecution of offenses. I feel that these organizations are needed and are doing an excellent job. I also feel, however, that an individual Senator, who is not on the disciplinary organization concerned, should place himself at the disposal of anyone who desires aid in any disciplinary action. I hope that the students consider this when they choose their officers for the coming year. Many of the Senators have devoted themselves to this duty more than any other. A student should also consider whether or not a Senator is a member of one of these disciplinary bodies. If he is a member of one of these bodies, it is impossible that he help anyone in an action appearing before his committee. For this reason, all Senators can not be judged by th<. amount of help given to individual students. All in all, I feel that the Senate has done an exceptional job this year and hope it continues." The Day Student Senator, communications are a problem. Lack of communication between Senate and student body among senators, and between senate and administration result in many unnecessary difficulties. To operate effectively, our gov- Snow, Sleet, Muck, Cold Feet Arouse Interest In Boot Styles JOHN ROPER AND CHARLES KIRKPATRICK, SENATORS. Bread In Viet Nam Homemade bread is baking in Saigon, South Viet Nam, thanks to a wise homemaker, the Mecklenburg County Home Demonstration Club cookbook and an alert extension agent. Several weeks ago, a home- maker called the Extension office. She reported her daughter, a government worker in Saigon, was trying to bake bread. But it wouldn't raise. The extension agent gave her several possible reasons for the failure. Three weeks later the mother called again. She said her daughter had been adding hot water, rather than warm water, to the yeast. Now, she reports, daughter and bread are both doing fine. Watch Repairs at The Varsity Shop Special Student Rates Charles Kirkpatrick, is a Freshman from Sylva majoring in History and Political Science. His campus activities include being a pledge of Alpha Phi Omega and a writer for the Western Carolinian. He is also a member of the Young Democrats Club, the German Club, and the Concert and Dance Bands. In his views as a Freshman, we find these outlooks, "As a freshman day student senator, I have found unique problems which confront both day students and dormitory students. Essentially it is one of communications. A day student never knows about many campus functions and is seldom aware of the problems of dorm students. Conversely, the dorm students are unaware of Day student problems. This lack of awareness results in a disunited student body. This is one of the more serious problems facing the student government. The Senate accomplishes much on the campus of which most students are unaware. Here, again, erning body must work with, not against or parallel to, every organization on campus. If not, it is worse than useless. From these two Senators' opinions, one can see Senate problems as related to students. The objective of the Student Senate is to better life for the WCC student. Only by supporting this objective can the student senate continue to function. The sisters and pledges of Alpha X| Delta Fraternity are sponsoring a Record Hop on Saturday, February 5. The dance will be held in the Gallery and will start immediately after the WCC- Elon basketball game and will last until 12:00. The price will be 50$ drag and 25£ stag. Everyone Is Invited and refreshments will be served. This is one of the first dances sponsored by Alpha Xi Delta and a large attendance is encouraged.

Sloshing at times, sliding at times, at times even managing to walk through the stuff, goes our hero, the WCC student. A stoical type, the Western student seldom complains about his lot. Taking it all in stride, he comes and goes through our brisk, invigorating mountain climate. How, one is inclined to ask, does this marvel, the conscientious scholar, get from dorm to class to wherever? With such interest aroused, a survey of student modes of transportation was taken. The use of sleds, roller-skates, and tennis shoes being impractical and at least slightly frowned upon, the average student avails himself of more usual footgear. Prominent among male footgear, surprising in the light of the possibility for its becoming the standard for its wearers, is regulation, unglamorous black United States Government issue military boot. In all stages of repair and evident in the several styles which have seen service in the past two decades, this shoe leads the field in popularity. Running a close second is the equally plain commercial hunting boot. This shoe, well oiled, has shown itself to be most adequate in combating the wet and cold. The ladies have shown a marked preference for the fur- liner boot. In many styles, with various shades of fur, the boot evidently does well in keeping miladyjs feet comfortable. Exhibiting a flair for color, varicolored rubber boots and overshoes complete, for the most part, the run-down of girls' boots. Last, but certainly not the least to be considered, is the work shoe worn by those who go forth to clean the walkways so that our overshoes should not be necessary. Obviously fighting a losing battle, the man in the leaky leather shoe goes on, removing snow and ice to Digging out , . . see it return as he works. Quietly squishing on his way, his complaints remain heard only by his rapidly dampening feet. And so it goes. As we dig out from one snowfall, another greets us with its cheery gray- ness. Snow, rather than any fashion center, continues to set the style. THE "SLUSH BOWL," day student parking lot behind McKee Classroom Building.
