  • CAROLINIAN EDITORIALS Profs Disregard Tickets; Why Shouldn't Students? Living in what is supposedly a democratic society, we question the unjust practice (or malpractice) of allowing faculty members to be completely negligent about parking tickets when students are forced to pay them. No actionhasbeentakenagainstProfessor Doe who has accumulated over 20 parking tickets, but John Student must pay fines and remove nis car from campus after only three parking violations. Although this is just another example of "Cullowhee justice", we feel that the time has come to correct the situation. However, there are those who would carry the injustice further. In a recent Health and Safety meeting it was suggested that the parking tickets for all faculty members be DISREGARDED and DESTROYED! To say that we disagree is an understatement. The student handbook states that: "Should a PERSON continue to receive citations for parking he shall be fined $1.00, first violation; $3.00, second violation, and loss of registration on the third violation within the same quarter. The loss of registration shall require the violator to remove his car from campus and refrain from operating any vehicle tor the period of one full quarter from the date of the last violation"..."Ten per cent of the fine shall be charged for unpaid fines which are not paid within a five day period." Note that the handbook does not use the word "student" but rather the word "person". Therefore, this statement should, by all rights, include faculty and staff members. Besides the above punishment, students who refuse to pay traffic tickets have their grades withheld or are not allowed to graduate. Yet if faculty members refuse to pay their tickets, no action is taken. We believe that students should have the same privilege. We strongly urge that the Health and Safety Committee look further into the problem and act on it immediately. May we suggest that the Committee or the Dean find some effective way of persuading faculty members to pay these fines. We understand that checks cannot be withheld, but perhaps an issuance of warrants to the guilty parties involved would evoke payment of these fines. Since Cullowhee is within the state, state laws are enforceable here. If no action is taken against these faculty members, we suggest that students also disregard such tickets, just as faculty members do.

Several hot spots have flared up and others smoldered or vanished from the news. The conflict of greatest concern to us in the United States last year was the war in Vietnam. President Johnson has continued to esculate the war without achieving any signs of a let up by the Vietcong. Our generals have assured us that we are winning but little is seen that indicates a victory in the near future. Unless negotiations are open there is little chance of the conflict easing during the new year. Red China has been in turmoil. Rumors have spread from the country that a power struggle has developed. Mao is getting old and many feel that he is no longer in control of the government. Red guards have run wild through out China. They traveled from one end of the country to the other searching out enemies of the revolution. Work is put off due to their travels and the Chinese economy has suffered. On Christmas eve China tested another nuclear weapon. Western observers feel thatthis test was a failure and that it indicates possible problems in the Chinese program. Pro- blems have been reported on the Sino Soviet border and every indication is that the split between China and Russia is still in existance. Last spring the Constitutional government of Greece was overthrown by a military junta. King Constantine has fled to Rome after he tried an unsuccessful coup d' etait, The military leaders have assured the people that they wiU return to a constitutional govern- ment but the conflict continues. Also in the spring French President Charles De Galle urged the French Canadians to fight for a free Quebec. Since then he has continued to shock the world through his statements and foreign policy. In June the Middle East Crisis once again erupted. To the amazement of the world Israel through surprise attacks destroyed the well-equipped Arab armies and gained control of the Sini peninsula. A world since she was considered the show place of modern Africa. In South Africa pressure continued to mount on her racial practices. United Nations action was taken to remove South West Africa from her possession. This action has not yet materialized but will take place when the General Assembly meets this year. The question of Cypress was once again in the news. For a while it appeared that the NATO alliance would suffer a major break due to Turkey and Greece's conflict of interest over the island. In the last minutes, tensions were eased and war was prevented. Only time will tell whether peace will prevail on Cypress this year. Sigma Kappa Ranks First In Test Scores Panhellenic Council has released scores on Panhellenic Constitution tests given each sorority on campus. The tests were administered in an effort to better acquaint each sorority member with Panhellenic oper- ation, rules and regulations. Each new pledge class of each sorority will also take this test. The Council voted to publish the scores as an incentive to high grades among the sororities. Scores were machine calculated and are as follows: Sigma Kappa .... .89.076 Zeta Tau Alpha . . .86.307 Delta Zeta . .... 84.941 Alpha Xi Delta .... 83.548 Epsilon Sigma Phi . . .83.272 .vv«>Xv:-Xv>x;:-:-Xw>:W:%: After several years of speculation as to his where abouts Che' Guevera, the Cuban revolutionary and right hand man of Castro's, turned up in Bo- cease fire was then declared and tension eased. Unfortunately this war placed a greater dependance of the Arabs on the Soviet Union and Russian influence has increased in the Mediteranian. Black Africa once again showed the world that she was unready for democratic government when Nigeria erupted into a civil war. This was a disappointment to the rest of the livia. He was captured leadi ■_ revolutionaries in the high lands and executed by the government To Cuba and her attempts to spread the revolution this was a severe blow. Great Britain was forced to devalue the pound due to her large national debt and balance of payments deficit. This in turn resulted in a world rush to buy gold and a strain on the American dollar. Much has happened in 1967 to change the world. The events of the year will be studied for years to come. All we can do today is speculate on how they will change the world. MANDRAKE the MAGICIAN
