  • Page 4 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Homecoming Edition, 1966 a bunch of grapes By James L. Bass You know, if you think about it long enough, it'll drive you nuts. I am speaking of what is known today as the "Blue Laws" of the United States. Did you ever wonder what possessed certain legislators of various states to the extent that these otherwise intelligent, prudent men could allow themselves to become champions of some of the most ludicrous, unbelievably idiotic laws on the statute books. Not only is it incredible that they are on the books in the first place, but in most cases they have survived even the most enlightened attempts to remove them. For instance, there is, or until recently was, an ordinance in one county in Mississippi prohibiting whistling under water. In Georgia, there is a much more severe penalty for "horse theivin" and "cattle rustlin" (whether it's one or one thousand) than there if for auto theft. Unfortunately, it is mostly the southern states which are afflicted with these examples of legal mockery and North Carolina is no exception. My friends tell me that there are signs posted in all of the state- controlled ABC stores stating that (1) Chronic alcoholics arc not permitted to buy liquor. (2) Persons convicted of DUI within the last twelve months are not permitted to buy liquor. (3) Persons known to engage in bootleg traffic arc not permitted to buy liquor. Add o the above that no one is .ill iw- ed to buy irnro than one gallon of liquor per day, and you !it/3 just aboii' reachad the height. of lega' absurdity. Now before any of you attempt. to justify these laws, I am going to do it for you. The first of these laws is for the mutual protection of both the alcoh >'ic and society. Great, now .>.'! y hi have to do is dotermi e iccu ■ ately who is an alcoh >'ic a.id who is not. Then you can tattoo this information on their forehead and the problem is solved. Secondly, these convicted of 1)1 "f offenses are also rather hard to ide llify, and when you're 35 or 40 years old there aren't many people who want you to prove you're 21. (Supposedly their drivers license is stamped with the nature of the offense). Next, if you think bootleggers can't buy liquor you are definitely in danger of being committed. Or you may really think it is perfectly nal jral for someone to buy 8 pints of the cheapest rotgut on the market for their personal consumption. If you do, you will be comforted by the fact that man;, of them will not be around to make it 16. Finally, the gallon per day rule was meant to keep bootlegging from being highly pr >f- itable even if it couldn't be prevented. What they tend to forget is that the bootlegger, being in an illegal business anyway, doesn't hesitate to "patronize" all the stores in the area unlil he has say, 32 pints of liquor. Since he doubles his money on every pint, he can make a very tidy 64 dollars per day. Anybody else, however, cannot afford to violate this law and is in turn forced to travel ridiculous distances with prohibitive frequency or, you guessed it, patronize the bootlegger. So, round and round it goes and since these prime examples of legal hypocrisy have been with us for years, it is highly unlikely to stop. AN OPEN LETTER FROM STUDENT GOVERNMENT This coming weekend is homecoming, Tnc-e will be many soci:il functions and payable activities on our campus In addition, we will have many guests and friends visiting with us, some for the first time, others trying to recapture mem i 'ies of the past. In keeping with our desire to prom .'e a d \ ri'oie atmosphere on our campus, wc urge you, the students, to be especially cognizant of the importance of dress, behavior, courtesy, and thoughtfulness of others. We would like to urge all stude.iis to refer the the section in the Student Handbook dealing with dress and decorum, alcohol on campus, dining halls, etc. On • public inv.ge is fashioned by you. It is our wish that you keep you:- college in m'nd, enjoj yourself, and have our guests and friends return lion • with a favorable imp-ess- ion if our camp i !.

Here at WCC, your student government is developing it's human resources to match the physical progress m this campus. This year, your student government's mark should be a large one, that may well be remembered at Western Carolina College. The Senators have already been placed on vai■'. > :s co n 'r'ees, which hav'J a tremendous amount of responsibility to carry out this year. They are well qualified and dedicated to their office. Also they will serve the campus in the many aspects where they see fit. We appreciate the fact that a large part of the Homecoming festivities has been placed under the Senate Homevoming Com nitte. The students arc playing a msjor role in the planning and execution of these More Feedback Dear Editor, We have confirmed proof from a reliable source that The Catamount for 1967 will be dedicated to M. Martin of the Pny- sical Education Department. A clandestine poll was conducted last week through the Year Book department, and Martin was unanimously elected over the runner-up, Mr. Robert Parr of the English Department. We feel that this election is a giant milestone being that Mr. Martin has proven himself in so many respects for for the advancement of Western Carolina College. His leadership, organization, and overwhelming charm lias helped many students in finding themselves. His unbiased attitude toward each and every one of his students plus his leadership in the intramu-al activities of this campus has enabled every student to have an equal chance in the vast selection of activities. For this, we salute Mr. Martin, and we encourage the Catam >unt to continue in their excellent selection of dedications. We were so pleased in the past of the excellent choiceof Baxter Wood who we are all so very fond of. Perhaps in the future, Mr. Parr, Dr. Ilerrin?, Dr. Cosper, Miss Addle Beam, and Mr. Growden will also have their smiling faces in aveloved dedication. Sincerely, Spencer Smith and Craig Smith Editor's n >te: According to verified reports from the CA f- AMOTJNT, the above letter has no ba ;is in fact. We of the WESTERN CAR'v. LIN I AN see no plausible explanation for the category created here, but in all fairness to the Messrs Smith, we shall not attempt to analyse their letter. That shall be "left to our readers. THE BOOKSTORE HEADQUARTERS FOR HALLMARK CARDS AND PARTY GOODS GIFTS FOR ALL OCCASIONS In Sylva By Barry Steagall festivities. Also, many of you will probably be working on homecoming displays. Please be careful not to litter the campus while constructing your projects. Homecoming is a big event in the WCC social calendar, and we students should do all we can to make it an honorable one worth remembering. So let me urge you to turn out and support the homecoming festivities this Saturday and make this homecoming the best ever for WCC. Concerning our parking problem, the Health and Safety Committee has propoased .a plan, which will be followed through during this week and a solution will be found by next Monday. Please be patient, because this solution will benefit everyone equally. As I have said, please be careful this weekend, and keep whatever is necessary hidden from the right people plus have a great homecoming. Reed Heads Info Service According to Mr. Doug Reed, the term Institutional Studies •gives everybody a little head- scratching." As Director of Public Information and Institutional Stud' es, Mr. Reed is filling the newest admi istrative position added acquainting the rest of the state east of Asheville with Western Carolina College," for It Is already well known, but "to find out what news and information they want about the college." Last year, Reed claims. there Doug Reed heads Public Information and Institutional Studies at ^Western Carolina College. "Institutional Studies can cover a variety of things and can mean different things to d.fferent people," he says. However, to him, it refers mainly to his job of "increasing the College's program of public information." In doiig ihis Mr. Reed las conducted a survey of numerous educational institutions on a persona! trip acoss the state. At such places as Wake Forest, East Carolina College, and the I mversity of North Car jlina he investigated the means b" wh.ch these institutions handled die aspect of getting their story" to the public. Briefly, it is his job to "Constantly keep the college's name before the public"-to publicize the Western Carolina College story. Mr. Reed seeks to accomplish this aim by "developing" the sort of information that will be used and reflect interest in the college. He is primarily concerned with the dissemination of information to the state's daily newspapers. Mr. Reed says that it is "not a matter of were students from 70 of the 100 North Carolina counties at Western. Included in this expanded prog-ram which Rt^ed is attempting is the coverage of the college by radio and television. These medi ims ha/e "reacted well" to attempts to put out news on the college, he reports. A radio station from Greenville, S. C, covered the recently held Regional Institution for Mental Health here. Mr. Reed's background for this pos'.tion includes a long record of editorial and journalism experience. As feature editor of the Mars Hill HILL- TOPPER, he started his career in journalism when the college was a two-year institution. From there he went on to Erskine College in Due West, S.C., receiving his A.B. degree in English and History in 1949. • He served briefly with the Army Engineers Corps and then became a general assignmeu reporter for the ASHEVILLE CITIZEN. With the CITIZEN, he covered City Hall, then the county government, subsequently becoming City Editor. Continued, Page 11
