  • Page 4 CAROLINIAN FLA Tl RE SECTION Viewpoint KAREN COLE CPS Of all toe folk-heroes of toe west, there was never a more desperate desperado than the ferocious young outlaw know as Bobby toe Kid. For indeed Bobby was a colorful character. Even today, they tell stories of how he would ride acorss the plains with his long hair in his eyes and his teeth flashing, screaming, "Let us press forward!!!" He was feared by everyone, but especially by toe older bandits who knew that someday they would have to come to a showdown with him. Strangely, though, young people admired him. They tried to forget toe fact that he was an outlaw and accept him as a human being. Now, toe Kid belonged to the Johnson gang, which ravaged the countryside stealing from the rich and stealing from the poor and not giving anything to anybody. Although toe Kid agreed in principle with toe gang's actions, he was very often in opposition with toe leader of the gang, "Lawless. Linden" Johnson, and his sidekick, Humble Hube. The Kid had his first run- in with Linden over a simple little thing like a bank robbery. While the gang was hiding out in the hills, they made plans to raid toe city of Ama- rillo, Texas and rob the banks. The next day they entered the city fearlessly with their guns blazing. Within a few minutes, they had emptied the vault of one of toe banks, and were well on their way back to the hide out, As they sat around toe campfire in the evening, planning the next day's raid, the Kid blurted out, "Now, uh, it is my opinion that, uh, we should get out of Amariller!" "What?" said Lawless Linden, "What?" echoed Humble Hube. "I said, uh," the Kid repeated, "It is my opinion that, uh, we should get out of Amariller because it's, uh, just not right. Furthermore, I think we should give toe townspeople some of their money back. After all, uh, we may be outlaws, but we're certainly not imperialists!" Lawless Linden was stunned. Was this the boy he had cared for from childhood and taught to be a good bandit? Could this be the sweet cherub who used to sit on his knee and call him 'Uncle Linden?" This was toe first time he had challenged his judgment on any matter and it had him scared. Humble Hube was even more scared. He knew that the Kid was young and ambitious, and he envisioned himself mysteriously disappearing and the Kid becoming Linden's new sidekick. But there was not much he could do about it He never really knew how he got to be Linden's buddy in the first place, and now that he was, most of the time he didn't know what was going on. But this started Linden thinking. Maybe having a romantic young fellow like the Kid by his CONTINUED Page 5. . . . CULLOWHEE BARBER SHOP Students. Welcome To Our New Shop Your Haircut As You Like It BESIDE BROWN'S GENERAL STORE OPEN TUES. —SAT. 8:00 a.m.—6:00 p.m. THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Alpha Phi Sigma Initiates New Tutoring Service Alpha Phi Sigma National Scholastic Society has established a tutoring service on this campus for those students who need assistance in their studies. Forms are available in Mr. Wood's office in Joyner. A student simply has to fill out one of these forms and a tutor will make himsel'.' available through toe various departments. A minimum fee of $1.25 per hour has been agreed upon by the society. This program is not related to the program operated by the Senate. Alpha Phi Sigma is a National Scholastic Society whose national headquarters are in Mayville, N. Dak. Zeta Chapter of Western Carolina College was one of toe earliest chapters to be established. Miss Benton, a former teacher at Western Carolina now in retirement was a past national president Alpha Phi Sigma does not operate as an average fraternity but it does have significant functions throughout toe year. One of these functions is toe annual May Banquet held in honor of all freshmen who have 30 quarter hours and an accumulative quality point ratio of 3.25. This banquet is attended by Dr. Paul . A. Reid and other rotable figures in the administration. Zeta Chapter initiated twelve new members on April 20, in Moore Parlor at 7:30 p.m. The new members listed in alphabetical order are: Hans S. Borov, Kenneth Cabe, Joann Cameron, Leonard Deal, John Fedock, Ted Helms, Charlotte Ray, Lou Ellen Smatoers, Norma Stevenson, David Stur- gill, and Robert Voigt The requirements for membership are 90 quarter hours and a minimum accumulative quality point ratio of 3.25. The officers for next year are: Larry Saunders, President; Stan Sanders, Vice-President; Marion Coble, Treasurer; and Jane Edwards, Secretary. Mrs. Hartshorn serves as sponsor for toe society. Arnold Air Society—composed of outstanding Air Force ROTC cadets—has 169 chapters with approximately 6,000 members in the nation's leading colleges and universities. Thursday, May 4.1967 WAYNEWOOD GROCERY Would Like To Welcome All WCC Students LESS THAN DISCOUNT PRICES ON ALL PACKAGE GOODS Drugs And Cosmetic Supplies We Give Family Stamps Weekend Special 35c Carton Soft Drinks Bcflsam Road Waynesville Revised Constitution Will Aid MHG Functions The term Men's House Government seems to be an unspoken group of words these days. It is not, by any means, taboo to speak of it, but it has slipped the minds of the students up until a week ago when elections for next year's officers came about. Men's House used to be the "talk of the dorms" due to the fact that the man down toe hall, or some guy in Reynolds was placed on social probation by its Executive Board. Today, however, Men's House is not just the judicial body it has been in the past, it is more. It has branched out into related areas of study for the betterment of its members. It would seem that a combination of the two, the judicial and related activities, would be on an equal basis, but it is not Many of today's problems are being settled elsewhere. Some are too petty to be brought before toe Board, and are handled within the dormitories. Still others are taken care of by the Dean of Men. Men's House Government, this year, has processed one case through its channels. According to Tom Potts, president-elect of Men's House, "toe new constituion of MHG as revised in December of last year provides for Men's House to become more of a judicial body and to become less involved in legislation. It provides for freshmen to be represented also. These are two of toe most important changes' made this year. Men's House needs to devote more attention to the actual reason it exists and that is to help the men before some conflict arises. "Next year, Men's House will be working on one particular pre-session recommendation from this year, that of giving counselors some type of reimbursement for the time they spend in the dorm. The choice for counselors this year has been stricter than in the past and if they show this in the conditions that exist in the dorms, they shouldbe given aid. If this aid cannot be given in the form of money, it may come as a reduced room rent," Potts stated. It has been generally held tnat Western is growing up. Along with her, as it should be, her students are growing up. Dr. Doug Davis, Dean of Men, has had a great deal to do with this maturation of WCC's men. Phil Brown, President of Men's House, clearly stated that in a recent interview. Another factor involved is the efficiency of toe dormitory hostesses and their staff of assistants and counselors. This area of improvement will go even farther next year with the careful screening being done in selecting counselors. As most of Western's men know, a Dorm Board has been established in all the men's residence halls with the exception of Reynolds. This exception was due to the lack of time and interest The interest was lacking because many of the established counselors are student teaching this quarter. Therefore, organization was at a temporary standstill. The respective Boards will be able to handle the lesser problems which might occur within the dorms in an official capacity. This will strengthen the Men's House Government Association, and let it expand into other fields. These "other fields" are areas of study which are designed to help the dormitories, the students within them, and the overall MHGA. Some of them include the already-established Dormitory Improvement Committee. This Committee is in the process of evaluating the dormitories and making suggestions to people in charge, and iniating action through proper channels. Action taken thus far, for example, is the ordering of dishes for two residence halls. Both the Hall Boards for men, and the Dormitory Improvement Committee evolved from the 1966 Pre-Session Conference Suggestions. Like many other organizations of campus, Men's House Government has recently revised its constitution. One marked improvement is proper representation for freshmen on the Executive Board of MHGA. In the past, the only representation on the Board for the freshmen was from toe upper- classmen counselors from the freshmen dorms. Next year, in addition, one freshman will be elected from each freshman dorm to be on the Board. Men's House Government seems to be going somewhere. It is now up to toe new officers to carry out what has been started, and to iniate more constructive programs and policies for the men of this institution. Retired officers and NCO's are teaching toe new Air Force Junior ROTC program in secondary schools across the nation. --SENIORS-— If you are ^planning to move to Charlotte after graduation, for all your apartment- needs ...
