  • CAROLINIAN EDITORIALS What Did He Say? A second interview with Cullowhee's newest business tycoon would straighten out, we thought, some tangled up misunderstandings about the new drug store, the infirmary and the "un-connection* between the two. But, by the time we left the drug store, we realized that Mr. Leigh couldn't decide what he had said, what he hadn't said, what he shouldn't say, what he should say, or whether, indeed, he wanted to say anything at all. At any rate, we believe the idea is that Mr. Leigh is here to serve the students, not cause any trouble and not interfere in the workings of the university. This is well and good. All kidding aside, we feel Leigh is a rather conscientious (if confused) pharmacist who honestly is attempting to be of service to the students. We are the first to admit that Cullowhee needed a good drug store with adequate facilities for prescriptions, cosmetics, candies and the like. And, we believe that Cullowhee now has just that. We only ask that Leigh refrain from making threats to the press and that he be more careful in making statements to the press that he later denies, via other news media, then affirms, then denies again. Evaluation Booklet With a second attempt at Course Evaluations scheduled for the last week in April, a course evaluation booklet from the University of Nebraska proves interesting reading material. The booklet is based on an entire year of research, planning and consultation. As stated in the introduction, there are many who question the ethics of such a booklet. Yet, the basic premise of the work is that students have "a right to the best education available, and that the more educational information available to students, the better they will be able to select the kind of education they desire." The booklet presents a one course per professor evaluation of student opinion, evaluation and recommendation. Someday, we hope that administrators and faculty members will be broad-minded enough for such a booklet here at Western Carolina. The booklet, as a whole, states more pro than con comments on the professors and their courses. Yet, for the few that are poorprofessors,the booklet offers honest criticism and gives sound reasons for disliking the professors' methods or the courses. It is obvious from the booklet that students at Nebraska are somewhat more interested in this type of evaluation than students at Western have proved to be. We would like to see a booklet of this type published for students at Western Carolina, The first step is student cooperation in Course Evaluations. Once this is accomplished, the Student Senate can make moves toward a standard evaluation booklet.

Feed back *««K*MH«Wsra»¥B Dear Editor: I want to take the opportunity to agree and disagree with Mr. Jones' letter in Tuesday's issue of the Western Carolinian. One point on which I agree with Freeman is that not enough students have a real interest in Student Government, We in Student Government recognize this fact, and are trying to combat it. It seems that the students and the Student Government are at a stalemate. Student government says that the students are not interested. Some students say that the student gov- ernment does not do anything. The effectiveness of one depends on the support of the other. How does anyone expect the student government to accomplish anything unless we have their support? We have accomplished enough this year to match the support we have received. We are only as strong or powerful as the students make us. We are a student government for 1,000 students for this is approximately the support we received, yet we have students who will demand that we represent 4,000; but we cannot find 4,000 students to support us. To many, this may be a negative response, but it is not intended to be. It would be just as bad for us to say we are not going to work until we are given some support. Student Government wants to accomplish greater things, but we must do it together. Next year, we hope to make greater gains, but we will need your help. In reply to Freeman's state- ment that the student government will become a tool of the administration, Student gov- ernment will become a tool of the administration if the students allow it to happen. Sincerely, Charles Sutton Greeks And Elections Dear Editor: I would like to voice protest against the actions of a sorority in the recent presidential elections. Why was it necessary that members of this new group tear down signs and otherwise vandalize the property of one of the presidential candidates? If this is the Greek way of life, I am very proud to say that I am not a part of it For young women who are supposed to be the leaders on our campus, this action was disgusting and reflected on the entire group and other Greeks as well. Couldn't these indi~ viduals contain themselves to above-the-table campaign tactics during the election? I watched one girl in this group in particular tear down signs and posters, while at the 'same time put up posters for the other candidate. Except for the action of some of these girls—I call them girls because they certainly are not women— the campaign seemed relatively clean. Please withhold my name but sign me An independent who is glad to be one. Conscientious Objectors Dear Editor: A number of people have urged that the category of conscientious objector be enlarged to include, not only those who oppose all war, but also those who object to particular wars, on grounds of conscience. The great reason against such a change is that it seems to transfer, from the community to the individual, the decision as to what is wise or necessary for the community. The power to compel military service, the power to tax, law itself, would disintegrate if individuals were free to disobey community decisions which they disapproved. But suppose the nation as a whole plunges into some radical evil. Should a man obey the state no matter what it perpetrates? At the war crimes trials following World War II, the United States and its allies thought he shouldn't In U.S. policy concerning the Vietnamese War thus far the right of the community to obedience has prevailed without compromise; the refusers are going to jail. But there is a way, available to government, whereby some recognition could be given to the right of the individual to refuse, without subverting the authority of the community. The Congress could amend the Selective Service Act to provide generally as follows: Let the category of conscientious objector be enlarged to include, not only those who oppose all war, but also those who object to a particular war which they claim to be unjust- provided that they are able to sustain this claim, against the government, before an impar- tail body. Let special tribunals be established, competent to hear argument on the justice or injustice of the American mili- tary involvement in Viet-Nam. (The principal appointees might be judges, scholars, and re- tired government officials familiar with international politics and international law.) Let the individuals pleading conscientious objection presentthe facts andprinciples which prove to him that the war is unjust Let the government attempt to prove the contrary. Confining itself to the arguments heard in that particular case, let the tribunal decide whether the government's answer has been sufficient to establish that the war is probably just If the government's answer has been sufficient, CO. status is denied; if insufficient, CO status is granted. The tribuanls would have no authority to prohibit the government from waging war, but only to determine whether particular individuals had met the requirements for classifi= cation as conscientious objectors. Of the collateral benefits, not least are the focus and elevation which the hearings would give to the national debate on the morality and wisdom of the war. Indeed, by amending the Selective Service Act as f"propose, the government will have maneuvered those individuals who refuse to serve in Viet- Nam into performing a rare and immensely valuable service here at home. Curtis Crawford Lecturer in ethics and politics The New School for Social Research New York City Post Office Service Dear Editor: I was wondering what could be done about the attitude of one of the federal employees in the Cullowhee Post Office, that of Miss Hooper. I am not the only person that feels her attitude lacks. Miss Hooper often comes very close to being rude to students that receive mail through General Delivery or receive packages over the counter. I am sure that Mrs, Parker, the other lady that works in the Post Office, has just as much contact with stu» dents as does Miss Hooper, yet CONTINUED, Page 8. ..
