  • CAROLINIAN LDITORIALS The Perfect Hostess Admitted, hostesses in vvomens' dorms have a rough time. They are supposedly responsible for those 200 or more girls who "try to get away with whatever they can,," Hostesses must sign permission slips, check on leaky registers, torn screens and stolen articles, decide if Mary co-ed's story is truth or a well constructed lie, double check the doors at night, make 3 a.m„ trips to the infirmary,counsel some girls, be a mother to others, and last but not least maintain a certain degree of dignity,, We believe it is not a dorm hostess' duty to be a prison warden* Nor is it necessary for her to be harsh or unbearably cruel with a lack of un derstanding for problems and special cases. A dorm hostess, we believe, should be firm. Not only should she have respect FOR her girls, but FROM them„ Not demand it, but earn it. She should be able to come to the girls' room for a friendly chat or serious conversation. She needs to know times to be firm and times to be lienent, She needs to be an understanding listener as well as a good judge of character. She needs to use liberalism with all of those rules. Sometimes, there ARE special cases. There are always exceptions— once in a while she should make the>n. Is it impossible to find all these traits in one woman? No, Because one dormitory hostess on this campus possesses these qualities, A salute to Mrs. Isabelle Harkins, hostess of Albright Dormitory, No Fire-Just Water We found out last week that our fears concerning a Town House fire were quickly washed down the drain, to use an old cliche. In fact, from all evidence, students need never worry about the possibility of being burned in the TH, Being drowned, however, is another matter. Last week a young man and his date were calmly sitting in the Establishment when a small piece of paper caught fire in the ash tray at their table. With the alertness of Agent ,007 and the speed of a flying bullet, a waitress dashed over to douse the raging blaze,, Had it not been for her quick actions, the Town House might have gone up in smoke seconds later, for from all reports the fire was at least 2 inches high in the ash tray. It is heartening to know that, even though the Town House has no exit or windows in the back, the idea that a fire could get out of control is preposterous. Now, of course, we must warn students who plan to smoke in the TH, that proper apparel such as water-repellent raincoals, hats and boots should be worn to prevent being soaked from head to toe with a bucket of water. Of course, this could end the old tradition of throwing the boys in the river. Just take them to the Town House. It's just as effective, and from all reports, lots of fun.

Merry Christmas. The Unpopular War Dear Editor: Mrs. Payne brought up a good point in her letter in the December 6 issue of the Carolinian. I agree—why don't we have the competency to defeat Communism in Asia? But who is she to speak of courage? Personally, that is. The Second World War was a popular war with the United States population and the United States itself was faced with a do or die proposition. The Vietnam conflict is very unpopular wiUi the people on the whole I agree in that Conner overdid the patriotism bit, but Mrs. Payne requested that he speak for himself. Why, then, is she blasting down the kind of M EN we have today? I often wonder how many women fight in the wars that cause MEN to lose their lives...many lose arms, legs, heads, minds, and any other part of the body that might become exposed to the weapons Uiat women of both sides help make. The Vietnamese use women because they are probably running out of men. We still have a few men left to dodge the draft, or rather to protest a very unwanted, confusing war. But the amount of draft-dodgers is not really comparable to Uie amount of draft-eligible boys (or MEN) and the number of men already in Uie rice-paddies (manv were drafted). I commend her husband for fighting in Vietnam. But, surely, she doesn't really believe that he is Uie only man taking his chances wiUi Uie monkev men who may not lose. One of Uie loudest protesters against the war that I talked to here last year is now in training for duty there. He is only one example-but would Connor go?' Would she if President Johnson Played typical and sent women over to fight? She is right-there is no average group of large-scale protesters against Uiis farce. But fnH 'S,Wronginsa>"i»e that men today have no corn-age. They're there, aren't Uiey? Thank you, Stan Rann Dear Editor: avJn'!h.reC?nt cutting of funds available to WWOO was unfortunate; but perhaps now would be a good time to reevaluate the role of a university radio station. I enclose the monthly program guide of WUOT of the University of Tennessee, and would like to suggest that, if possible, the program listings for two or three days be reproduced in the Carolinian. Certain questions come immediately to mind; is WWOO contributing to the cultural life of the community as WUOT is? Is WWOO affiliated with Na- tioanl Educational Radio? Does WWOO need its teletype, since radio news is available every half hour from WMSJ? For that matter, do we need a radio station here on campus which simply duplicates, or competes with the commercial station in Sylva? Wouldn't life be a great deal richer here if radio listeners had at hand serious music , stimulating lecture programs, discussions anddebates concerning current issues, and the like? If funds are a problem, | should be glad to be the first to contribute $10, if the station will start functioning as a university radio station; lam sure that there are a great many people in the community wno would wish to do likewise. Let's throw out the teletype- and all of the insipid.** records, and have some decent, mature programming" De an institution of higher ecu cation. , „„..-, Very truly yours, A, T.
