  • CAROLINIAN EDITORIALS FREEDOM! In our correspondence with other college newspapers, we have noticed several editorials concerning freedom of the college press. These ranged from editorial condescension to administrative censorship up to the necessity for constructive criticism on the editorial page. In light of this, let us reiterate our stand that any college paper should be vested with nothing short of complete editorial freedom. The EAST CAEOLINIAN, after being criticized for some of its editorial comments, cited several strong points in favor of uncensored constructive criticism. We agree with this wholeheartedly, up to a point. Criticism should, by all means, be initially constructive, but what is to be done if this construc- tiveness is to no avail. Sometimes only the most scathing expose will jar a party, group, or situation into reform for the better. We have been asked, for instance, after adverse editorial comment, why we didn't attempt to solve a problem through personal or committee action instead of editorializing first. Why? Because, as we see it, a newspaper's function is not to form committees to solve problems; rather, it is a newspaper's function to provoke people into forming committees. From the St. Petersburg Junior College WOODEN HORSE comes an editorial mentioning the total censorship of the Texas A & M paper, removing of the editorship from student hands and placing it under administrative control. The editorial concludes by thanking the administration for allowing the WOODEN HORSE complete freedom of the press. To this we say that no college paper owes its administration any thanks for its editorial freedom. Freedom of the press is the incontestable right of any citizen; it is not within the bounds of a college administration to hand it out arbitrarily. When we mentioned to the editor of the Boston University NEWS at a recent convention that we had complete freedom from censorship here, he asked, "Why? Is it because you say nothing offensive or is it an actual case of editorial freedom?" We think the latter is the case, and believe that no paper can boast of its freedom unless it does take issue with administrative, college, or local inadequacies when such criticism is warranted. An October issue of the Carson-Newman carried a news story and an editorial dealing with a statement by the president of the college that "all editorials . . . shall be positive in nature and should advocate some particular program giving specific reasons why the program should be adopted " We cannot imagine an administration this afraid of criticism, nor can we imagine any paper that would feel it necessary to adhere to such a stifling regulation. Again we would state and re-emphasize that it is not a newspaper's function, nor that of its readers, to set up committees. An administration, with the aid of student government leaders, is expected to be competent enough to solve its own problems, pointed out constructively or otherwise by anyone interested enough to comment. This, then, is the CAROLINIAN'S stand: that nothing short of complete editorial and reportorial freedom, remaining within the boundaries of good taste, is satisfactory.

If this was a show of the "sport spirit" of this school, then the "school spirit" seems to me to be greatly demeaned. The booing and jeering of our opponents should not out notice the cheering for our own team. My pride in Western Carolina College was one of the deciding factors in my returning, but after the behavior of some students at this game, I am disillusioned and disappointed in it. Since we are supposely "The Best", why can't we show it in our true friendly and respectful sportsmanship behavior at our games'? Name withheld on request Dear Editor: The lack of sportsmanship, as shown by our students at the game Monday night, was a poor reflection on the student body of Western Carolina College. What has happened to the "mature" college students on our campus? Booing and hissing are certainly not characteris- American Scene Question: What is your opinion concerning thel'.S, involvement in Vietnam'.* This question is simple enough to ask, but replies which are based on a knowledge of our involvement there are hard to come by. One of the tragic things in our society is the fact that Americans are too little concerned with the actions of their government to attempt to find out why the government takes actions. ', f_ . Many Americans are willing and even anxious to tell what they think about our involvement in this far corner of the" world, but very few base their opinions on a critical, analysis of the subject. They are. top willing to let another person, or in. some; cases editorial, tell them rthat to think. They follow blindly the trail which has been laid for them, and are unsympathetic to those who may disagree. There are always two sides to any debate, and any interested observer has by this time had adequate opportunity to acquaint himself with the facts. The average citizen, however, has either lacked the interest or the motivation to acquaint himself with these facts. All the blame cannot be placed on the public, however. The administration has thus far failed to present its case convincingly. Statements of policy have often been marked by seeming indecision, though in many instances it was merely a feeble attempt at diplomacy. Neither can the administration bear more than its share of the blame. Some of the blame rests with persistent critics of administration policy who have served only to cloud the issue. Too often people criticize merely for the sadistic satisfaction they got from tearing down the work of others and not from any legitimate differences of opinion. My purpose is not to call anyone un-American, either because they do not take an active interest in their government, nore. because they criticize it unjustly. Many of the criticisms leveled at the government justifiable , and indeed, if the government needs to be criticized, then by rights it should be criticized. To speak intelligently and express clearly his opinions on matters of importance, a citizens needs to be well informed of the facts. A future column will contain a discussion of some of the "how's" and "why's" of our involvement in this "dirty little war.* It is only by learning the facts that we can expect to be constructive citizens. A qualified Air Force ROTC cadet may enter flight training near his caTmpus and receive a private pilot's license in his senior year through the Flight Instruction Program at Air Force expense. tics of adults who supposedly represent a friendly campus. We don't have to roll out the red carpet, but common ordinary manners haven't gone out of style. I'm all for school spirit, but the variousc but the various comments from W.C.C. students ridiculing the opponent's team and the referees show a warped perception of school spirit. Let's back our team, but at the same time, don't act like small children who boo the "bad guys" at the Saturday afternoon matinee. Name withheld on request. Dear Editor, When I entered this college last spring, 1 confess I was shaken by certain actions and policies on the part of faculty, students, and administration. Perhaps the most important impression a person gets is the first one. and I tried to treat it as merely a first impression, but these speculations only grew into firmer convictions. 1 am now convinced that something is very wrong at this school, but I doubt that anything will be done about it. I was, for instance, favorably unimpressed with some of the faculty. 1 found that the professors hate teaching required courses just as much as students hate taking them. It is a painful process for both parties, made virtually impossible by the fact that the teachers have adopted the policy that Little Johnny has never had a course like music or art, he will probably never have it again (it's not in his major you see) so why not just give him a passing grade and to Hell with it. I was interested in the student's attitude toward all this and discovered that they don't feel cheated by such a system at all. They couldn't care less about their courses: it is enough to pass. A few of the more industrious ones will raise their grades so that they can join a fraternity and wear madras pants, but by and large they are all waiting for the war to end. This policy is whole- heatedly endorsed by the administration, which prefers to stay out of student affairs as much as possible, except to protect the flock from unhealthy movies, and too much dating. Where the adminstration could do something useful like keeping all those empty shelves in the library dusted, it would rather send Dean Huskins over to Hoey to police the balcony. ......CONTINUED, Page 4
