  • CAROLINIAN EDITORIALS Course Evaluations Can Be Asset Course evaluations, if successful, can be a great asset to student and faculty members alike at Western Carolina. However, unless student participation and interest far surpass last year's effort at evaluation, results will again have to be discounted and discarded. As the evaluation committee pointed out, there were less than twenty courses that had even as many as ten answer sheets returned on them. With this lack of participation the evaluation committee had no recourse except to drop the entire project. For several years now students have clamored for course evaluations. Students and most faculty members feel they are worthwhile in presenting to students a valid evaluation of a course Usually the only professors that oppose the evaluations are those that realize their teaching methods or classroom procedures are either outmoded or im proper. We encourage students to participate in these evaluations Spring Quarter so that results will be valid and can be released to students and professors alike. Students need to agitate some instructors into improving their course as well as their teaching methods. A professor who continually fails con scientious students or who uses the same notes today that he used _T) years ago needs to be prodded into some type of improvement, or resignation. Conversely, those that are good in their field need to be congratulated. We believe that course evaluations can be valuable for both parties concerned, yet only through effective participation can tangible assets come from the venture. In this effort at course evaluations the Senate committee is attempting to help the student, but as the adage goes you can take a mule to water, but . . ." So it is with students and a project such as this one. This is an excellent opportunity for students to air their problem.-;, praise and complaints about courses-and the professors who teach them. Not only is it a privilege of the student to participate in a course evaluation of the type, but a duty. A Statement Of Policy — Again The editorial policy of The Western Carolinian is set by the editor of The Western Carolinian. However, any time that a student wishes to ex> press his opinion or read the opinion of someone else expressed in The Carolinian, all that is necessary is a Letter to the Editor. All Letters to the Editor are printed IF signed with name and dormitory or post office address. Letter to the Editor will be printed IN FULL if space pernvts. The editorials in The Western Carolinian are the responsibility of Uie editor. For Uiose editorials that the editor does not write personally it is the responsibility of the editor to choose any guest editorials that are printed! The Cat's Paw The Paw shall now proceed to make a mountain out of a molehill or a foxhole or something equally as important. Too much has already been said about Vietnam from all kinds of informed and uninformed, proper and improper sources. But the Paw must add a few infallible words to this situation. Considering that most of us are fairly mature, we should be able to somehow opine on the present world conflict. First, the great majority 01 us think Uiat the war must be dealt wiUi realistically. So most of us don't mind going - we're Uiat much American, even if we don't look forward to it with exultation and rejoicing. Vou might even look for some paw tracks running around in the jungle in a few months. Second, there's the m nority who believe Uiat the war is wrong and don't mind saying just that, Well, no disillusionment intended to any zealot, but that's pretty American too. The right to dissent is inbred in us, even if you don't see much here in Death Valley. By The Inimitable PAW The tragedy ot it all is the person who really doesn't know what American is. Nobody can sit back and dictate what is characteristic of our great nation, at the expense of a countryman's opinion. So man your posts and see how American you can get, But start reading the Constitution first, and forget some of the melodramatic tragedy of seeing a friend who happens to digress with your opinion. Who knows? Maybe the Paw won't live to get to Vietnam, when the "patriots" come riding in. Things are gettin' hot and heavy in Cullowhee. Maybe we'll get declared a disaster area yet, It's long overdue. THE PAW'S POETRY (with sympathetic acknowledgement to classical tragedy) Hark! Is this a burning cross (maybe of newspapers) that I see before me? Lo! Doth yon spirit add the salt of dissent to her cauldron? THE PAW'S PLATITUDE Patriotism is positive, usually. FOOD FOR THOUGHT The second sneak preview of the new student center would have been very nice, if there hadn't been so much red tape running around. Was there ever an adequate reason grven for that slight misuse of authority in unlocking the student center doors? I hope this isn't true, but it looks like a long bloody-red road aneau tor a lew umor- tunate organizations. How did two ofthefraternites miss the chopping block last week? I'm glad it happened. How else could the Paw have survived, since I've been dodging enormous green thumbs and ping pong balls (along with a few bowling balls) ever since. I hear there are three new shows lined up for the Robertson Kitchen. Watch for them Third South. That was the best letter I've read in a while. Sorry I couldn't have been there to scratch on the windows, The discussion for a certain religiously oriented weekend was supposed to be sex. Now just what does one know about that particular phase of our animalistic existence when one decidedly stays under the influence of evil spirits? Religion might come into its own yeL With two more games to go, can Henry do it? He lacked three points against Eion's Fighting Crucifixes. By the way, crowd response was alright, but it does look like a few idiots would tape-record themselves and find out how much they sound like eighth graders. The Cats are fabulous and they're proving it, Anybody for some new additions to the gym? Back the Cats in the tournament. We're going somewhere this year. Oh, yeah. Have a happy Final Exam or two. Then celebrate. See you in basic training. TheWESTERN CAROLINIAN VOICl Of THE 5Tl'Dt NTS Published semi-weekly by the students of Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, N. C.
