PAGE 4 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Friday, May 13, 1966 From The V. P/s Desk by Buz Helms In the last column of the year it has been customary to look back and point out the accomplishments that we have achieved in Student Government for that year. To the conscientious student this should not have to be done and since I assume that all Western Carolina College students are conscientious, I will not elaborate on this subject. I wish only to offer criticism and appreciation. The main topic at the moment is that of the reelection of Men's House Government officers. After this re-election I was informed that I was wrong; that I had "pushed through the re-election"; and that I had been biased in my decision. I was not told this before the election but after the results had been tabulated. To those few who felt this way, I ask only one thing of you and that is to show me where I was wrong and how being fair to all considered was "pushing through an election." If you can do this one simple task, I will be happy to make amends. Up until now all I have heard is criticism with not one valid statement to back it up. While in this office it may be that I am not to allow these immature rationalizations of some concern me. True, but when it involves the integrity of my honesty and the ability to carry out my duties, it involves not only my office, but also my personal pride. First of all, the decision to have a re-election was not just mine. I am chairman of the elections committee, but keep in mind that this was a Men's House election and was carried out by Men's House. I did question the results, and with good reason. The results should have been questioned by me. The reason? — It was my job. I then suggested that a re-election be held and the person in charge of the election concurred whole-heartedly. The reason for this objection was that all the ballots were not saved, final numerical results were not known, and a recount could not be taken. What was left to do? Each candidate running for these offices had a legal right to know the answer to these questions and just because mistakes were made gave us no right to overlook them. The reason that I am bringing all this out is not to condemn anyone but to bring to light the actual facts after false accusations were made. Anyone who wishes to know the results and full story in detail will be welcomed at my door; but if you're not willing to come to the live source of information then your opinion can't mean anything to me anyway. Before leaving office I would like to express my appreciation to many people, the most important being my secretary, Janet Smith. Many endless hours have been spent by Janet working for you and the highest respect is not enough to be paid to a person such as this. In my book she's classified as an unsung hero. Of course there are numerous others too many to name. To all of you, a special thanks. Both appreciation and criticism have been offered me. To the former I have only to say that it is not you but I who is appreciative. Many opportunities have been offered me and I have only thanks to return for what I hope has made a better person of me. To the latter, I have no excuses to make but say that I have tried to serve in a most befitting way in attempting to work with the student body in mind. — Continued on page 7 The Critic's Eye By Virgil Johnson William Dozier, the man who gave us Batman, has just unmasked his newest moneymaker. It was predicted last year that if Batman clicked, it would not be long before the Green Hornet would be far behind. So, next season there will be two Caped Crusaders on the "telly" screen, but there will be some differences. Dozier states that the Green Hornet will not be played in a "high camp" manner. It will, of course, be large than life and the accent will be on action, action, action. It will be straight action rather than "camp" action, though. Black Beauty, The Green Hornet's car, will be loaded with gimmicks and gadgets that will far exceed James Bond's buggy. As everyone knows, unmasked, the Green Hornet is Britt Reed, the publisher of the Daily Sentinel. Much of the action will revolve a- round Reed as Reed rather than as the Green Hornet. The actor chosen for the title role formerly appeared as a regular on Surslde 6. His name is Van Williams. He also appeared as a regu lar in the now defunct Walter Brennan series that lasted one season. When asked whether he really believed that playing the Green Hornet would advance his acting aspirations, he replied, "I thought this over and I think this is the way to get ahead considering the present stuff that we got going for us in Hollywood. The success of Batman made a lot of people sit up and and take notice. Let's face it, you just can't sell stories any more about normal people and real life situations to the TV viewer or the moviegoer. Joe Doakes in Keokuk want to kick off his shoes, grab a beer and sit back and watch escapism, something that's far removed as possible from his day-today existence. It's the same in movies and TV." So there it is. People are getting just what they want. The Green Hornet will have his faithful Kato along with him. He will be played by a karate expert of the black belt class, Bruce Lee. This seems to be the trend in TV and whether you like it or not, it's what's happening baby. The Green Gate By John Vernelson This is the last one — tomorrow it'll be over — never again — There are a lot of things I'd like to say in this last column but the rules of censorship forbid it — too bad — I think it would be a lot of fun to watch people read words or ideas or phrases they believe to be immoral — I can see some of those little prim and proper girls now blushing in the cafeteria —then running to their dorm to laugh and giggle and take off their artificial morality — Or some of our supposedly mature college men who shudder when they hear the word damn — oh, they and their girls hide their faces in their hands and raise a quickie towards heaven — then eat their food like two pigs — two fat pink pigs who'll marry and have a litter just like themselves — that's what's wrong with the world — too many pink, fat pigs who never leave their pens and always eat the same slops and always grunt the same way — Stupid — that's the way they live and the way they'll die — afraid to take advantage of any experiences — I don't see how they stand it — I mean, if a person commits an act — drinking and the rest of it — and he enjoys it — what's wrong — NOTHING — nothing at all — but, with a society ruled by pink, fat, stupid, pigs — who can do any thing. — You do what you do — there's no right or wrong — you just do it — that's simple enough — but, in this place (no pun — the entire society) the pigs say what you do and they judge all actions by their standards — their personal standards — Oh, to get along everyone must be like them — do as they do — think as they do — dress as they do — and everything as thev do — Who wants to be a damn pig — pigs end up slaughtered — sliced ham — sausage — spare ribs — fat back — bacon — pigs tails — pigs feet and the whole bit — I don't want to be a pig — they stink — next year I hope the old pigs don't return and that no new pigs arrive — if any do, send 'em to that giant pig pen in the sky — if they raise any hell tell 'em John Vernelson said to do it — not that I have any great power or even suggest it — just tell 'em all I said go to hell — It's been a long year — it's over — How do you get the truth through? The Iron Curtain isn't soundproof. And so the truth is broadcast, through the air, where it can't be stopped by walls and guards, up to 18 hours a day to millions of people in the closed countries behind the Iron Curtain. Will you help the truth get through? Send your contribution to: Radio Free Europa, Box 1985, KOsmoiMU Published as a public serv.ce in cooperation With The Advertising Council Look Away By Calpurnia This is not a goodbye — 'cause I'll be back. Neither is is a criticism — 'cause it's not needed? I have sat, watched, and listened — politicians . . . politicing, senators . . . running in and out, meetings . . . with Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Brow, Mr. Kil- patrick, our social deans, Sylva merchants; letters — all over the country, calls — for information on Greek housing, information on course evaluation, TELEPHONES, vending machines, ELECTIONS, RE-ELECTIONS, ballots, PANDEMONIUM, choas. I've heard complaints — heated ones, and suggestions — good ones and bad ones, plans in the making, trips, late hours, pondering, working, playing, compromises with the Administration, help from the Administration, new trends in Women's House, improvements in our Student Handbook, 1966-67 edition; and a new addition — a Handbook for Student Organizations; challenges, more improvements, a Spring Festival instead of a May Day . . . and I could go on, and on, and on . . . for whose benefit has this melange of chaos been directed? YOURS! Do you sometimes wonder why the classroom seat next to you, supposedly occupied by a student government officer, or a Student Senator, or a student publication editor, is often, even frequently, vacant? And do you criticize because he is shirking from the civil responsibility of his office? Look a little deeper — and more than likely you'll find that he's out running some errand for student government or recuperating from an all night discussion on a certain phase of student government. By now you have guessed it — the purpose of this article is praise, not criticism — that comes too often. Praise is something you just don't seem to offer abundantly. Why? Could it be because you aren't prepared to praise, because you don't know who or what to praise? During our recent presidential and vice - presidential elections, I was shocked to hear, "I'm not voting because I don't know any of the candidates running." All the more chaos if we didn't have the "select few" who do know — or at least are familiar with — the leaders in our student government. And another thing — you despise class meetings — because they accomplish absolutely nothing. Have you ever considered nominating a qualified, responsible individual instead of "pushing" a certain group of friends or nominating two members of one group so as to split the vote and bring victory to a i**"iiL lone, candidate. How can*^&, * *■ criticize class officers 'vi^o'0' their purpose is to draw sug--' gestions from you members of the class? How can they draw suggestions when you aren't there to offer them? Sounds like criticism, doesn't it. Think of it instead as suggestions for the production of praise. It wouldn't be hard to start a revolutionary trend in student government — all that is needed is co-operation. In reviewing this past year with student government, I consider it a privilege to praise — not only our Student Body President and Vice-President, but also our editors, co-editors, and staffs of the ..Western Carolinian and Catamount, the officers of the College Center Board, and of Men's and Women's House Governments. Sacrifices have been made. You aren't always aware of them, but they're still there. Witness the questions that have been raised, the improvements that have been made — the summons for SFJC, summer SFJC, the best college newspaper yet, and plans for future improvement of the Campsite. Outstanding achievements have been accomplished before — this year they're gotten even further. Watch them grow and watch your college grow . . . and continue your support. In closing, may I bid — Caesar, Brutus, and the UNKNOWN IDENTITY—goodbye! Friend Or Foe? ■Sometimes the dog is just as unsure ai the visitor. It's yonr responsibility to see that your pet reacts civilly to service people such as the mailman, delivery boy, meter reader. Purina Pet Care Center authorities tell us that highly nervous dogs, dogs that are kept tied up for long periods, and basically shy dogs may attempt to bite these men or other strangers. You should introduce you» dog to the regular visitors, and the men should be encouraged to give the dog a chance to smell and investigate them thoroughly. Ask them to call the dog by name and greet him with prali* plus tidbits, or some of his Purina Dog Chow each time they «N until they're accepted as friends. -
