  • CAROLINIAN EDITORIALS Fire Protection Mandatory The recent fire in Cullowhee Valley which completely demolished a two story frame house brings us more acutely than ever to the question of fire protection for Cullowhee and Western Carolina University. It is obvious now more than ever before that fire protection of some type should be provided for the students here as well as the residents. Since Cullowhee is not incorporated and its population so minute, the responsibility for fire protection falls on the university. It is a responsibility that the university has shirked for much too long. It is a responsibility that could have been taken care of long ago, had the university paused long enough from constructing buildings to provide some facility to keep them from burning down. Even administrators here do not agree on what is being done or what can be done in this vital area. One administrator told a student senator that appropriations sent to the 1969 General Assembly would request two fire trucks at a cost of $65,000. A copy of the capital improvement requests show that one fire and ladder truck at a cost of $60,000 has been requested. There are further discrepancies between what the university is able to do in this area and aid we received from the Raleigh office of the property control division of the state. A university administrator explained that this control division assumes the responsibility for "the control and provision of state property . . . including fire protection." Therefore, according to this administrator, it is the responsibility of the state office in Raleigh to recommend to the General Assembly that Western Carolina University provide some type of fire protection for its students. However^ a telephone conversation with Frank B. Turner, chief engineer of the property control division, shed a slightly different interpretation on this matter. He suggested that it was the university's responsibility to request fire fighting facilities. He explained that for any type of capital improvement the university must make a request to the Gereral Assembly via several subsidiary steps. Turner pointed out that when the university makes requests they must list them in order of importance, since not everything can be granted. Thus, if Western Carolina University listed the proposed fire fighting equipment as the number one proposal to the General Assembly, we would have a good possibility of getting this equipment, according to Turner. A list of the capital improvements requested for 1969 has already been compiled. The fire truck is listed in the fifth position, although this list is supposedly not in order of importance. We strongly urge that the fire fighting equipment be placed in the number one position. We are virtually the only state institution of higher learning in North Carolina without fire protection of our own or without immediate access to protection. Will it take a serious fire in a dormitory or classroom building, damaging property and killing innocent victims for administrators and the board to wake up to facts? Wake up! We need fire protection on the campus of Western Carolina University! TheWESTERN CAROLINIAN VOICl Of THE STl'DENTS Published semi-weekly by the students of Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, N.

Turkey is what remains of the old Ottoman Em- pire. This empire a t one time included almost all of the Middle-east, As European nations grew in strength they turned to the Ottoman Turks for knowledge and learning. The Turks ex- cell- K.u. „e astro nomy, mathematics, science, and medicine. By the nineteenth century, for numerous reasons the empire was in a state of decay. European powers took great advantage of this. Time after time they would take possession of various parts of the empire. Balance of Power politics however saved Turkey from European domination. It was to the advantage of the great powers to preserve her. During the nineteenth century she was referred to by Nicholas I of Russia as being the "sick man of Europe." After the Crimean War changes took place in Turkey. Reform movements were start- ed by the government The first step was the modernization of the government. The origins of the present legal and administrative framework was started during this period. This reform was done largely through the knowledge of a special class of people in Turkey. During the Empire period the Ottomans would take the sons of captured Europeans and train them in the art of government. Most of the reform originated from the work of these students. Government reform was fol= lowed by transportation and communications systems. This resulted in the founding of a postal system. Other Western ideas put into use were: compulsory primary education and modern banking. Most of these reforms were well established by 1923. These efforts though greatly needed did little to heal the "sick man." True modernization did not result till 1923 with the founding of the Republic. Kemal Atatiirk became the President. He is credited with developing modern Turkey. He was a young officer in the Ottoman army. To him the social change was too slow, inconsistent, piecemeal, hesitant and partial. By Bill Biggers His attempt to modernize the nation not only included schools and factories but also headwear, family relationships, language and social customs. Twice during his administration Atatiirk attempted to create a parliamentry democracy with a multiparty system, but this was still in the future. Following World War II, Turkey was able to adopt universal suffrage with a multi-party sys- tern. This system continued until 1960 when the democratic government was disposed of by the military. A new constitution was drawn up and within one year the democracy was restored. This brings us to modern Turkey, her government, alliances, and domestic problems. These will be discussed next week and the following week Turkish involvement in Cypress. The Cat's Paw By The Inimitable PAW It looks as if Col. Curtin's Raiders (commonly known as the WCU Band won't be heading South over quarter break as previously planned. Unless they come up with some of their own funds to finance the Florida tour, it will probably be limited to the confines of good old North Carolina with possibly a swing into South Carolina. Rumor has it that the A.K. Hines University Center will open next week for student use. This is going to be a real test for WCU students. With all that carpeting, furniture, etc. in it, the question is: how long will it last? Not that the Paw doesn't have faith in the students here. The students have waited a long time to use the new center and to look at it you'd think it should have a "look but don't touch" sign on it, With all the continuing complaints about parking facilities for off campus students, why is it that certain areas which have been or were to be used for day student parking have been turned over to the faculty? Is it true that next year there will be fewer Greek counselors in the dorms? There have been some complaints this year about Greeks who are dorm counselors having an advantage in rush. This is quite possibly true, but does Men's House have the right to discriminate against Greeks on this count? What's going to happen to the TH when the restaurant and snack bar in the University Center open? The recent addition of new waitresses at that establishment indicates that they may know something we don't know. Whatever happened to the committee that was going to find a new president for the university? Is is possible that we'll get a new president be- ' fore we get to use the new dorm? Did you ever see so many students worry about a date? The computer dance scheduled for tonight seems to have less problems than worries. Men who ordinarily wouldn't worry about a date are asking how manv work hours they'll get if they fail to show. Wonder what they're worried about? Don't forget to back the Cats! They're moving into the final drive before the tournaments, and they'll need us behind them however far they go. The PAW's PLATITUDES "The absence of ignorance does not necessarily indicate the presence of intelligence." "Winning isn't everything, but losing is nothing." FOOD FOR THOUGHT "The fruit stand got more money, but it seems orchards are hard to come by." "Isn't it nice that the "Red Coats" made it first to Reid last week and won the Battle of the Lettermen." "Funny thing about the Senate chamber in the new center. There are nearly 30 senators and room for only 15 in the new Senate chamber." "Do some professors really believe that if 50% of a class doesn't fail a test it is not a good test? Ot might be their teaching ability)" "Since when does one professor start teaching a course, another later take over the teaching of it, and still another make out tests for the students? You're right That's WCU for you."
