Thursday, April 11 1968 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 5 Sights And Insights By Jerry Conner William T.Burke Institutes Program In Linguistics The Easter Season is upon JlA with situations as they uS ;t*s time to have some S'ghts into local and national eVWtth this joyous season „mes the end of penance and rating. Some religious-minded students carried through with the Lenten ritual and gave up Se things they loved the most S,me of the many pleasurable habits given up were: smoking, Sinking, ice cream, cake, Seets of all kinds and sex For many students and old folks alike, fasting of another will close early-like possibly today. 1 understand that either today or tomorrow our local, elementary stores will once again open to the parched throats of many. There will be no more runs across the line or to bootleggers. The get-rich-quick students will be out of a job. They say that we live in cycles, first our clothes style went back to the twenties and now North Carolina, and especially Cullowhee, has prohibition days. It looks like D-Days (Dry-Days) are coming to an end. Here is another scoop on Cullowhee's mother hens. It seems that our nests are a little littered and need cleaning. Well the Cullowhee Garden Club stimulated interest among the Greek organizations again. Those brightly painted and decorative trash cans you see on campus are the results of their efforts. Thank you, Greeks, for following their suggestions and doing their bidding. However, the Club did fail in one respect. Many of you remember the Cullowhee Clean-Up Campaign of 1967 for Lady Bird Johnson. Greeks and some Non-Greeks slaved to clean up personal property adjacent to the campus in order to have a beautiful entrance. Yet, these efforts were in vain, as the owners let the property completely return to the shabby, junky mess that it once was. Now, as before, they start another clean-up campaign, and it was taken for granted that the loyal Greeks would go down and break their backs again out of their loyalty to the Garden Club. A little wiser and a little more aware of the thanks they got for improving property— that didn't even belong to the school, they answered in the negative. You can ask a person to do only so much out of generosity from that point on it is just plain taking advantage. Just think you will all be able to leave the Valley of the Lilies and, if you are like me, travel home to riots and curfews. Isn't it nice that we live in such a civil world. What's even nicer is that I should venture to say half of those agitators don't even care about Martin Luther King, You see a chance to get a new T.V. or a new dress free so what do you do, go out and take it That's it, take it in the name of Civil Rights, What kind of Americans do you call yourselves? What good is looting and burning your own buildings? Oh, that's right, most ol them are on welfare and don't have to pay taxes for the buildings It's O.K. then, as long as it s in the name of a so- called martyr. Take Chattanooga, for exam- Pie. The police, in order to keep from having a riot and as a gesture of good will, offered a free chicken and steals dinner to some 100 Negroes. They tried too hard. After the Negroes got their stomachs filled they joined other Negroes in the streets and rioted. Now, look at Washington. Dear old "Elbie" sat around in his machine-gun protected Capital building and White House and watched Washington burn, just like Nero did in the Days of Rome. I wonder if he had a fiddle to play during the performance. His troops got plenty of entertainment That's about all that they could get since they were ordered not to interfere. How can anybody just stand around and watch a boy get killed by a mob of 10 or 15 black boys and not say or do anything about it? How can anyone just stand around and watch a building burn to the ground and hear the cries of a baby and not be able to interfere because there are too many Negroes around? In the eyes of God, one life is just as precious as another. For those of us Christians, there was one life that was shed to save our sins. However, He did not preach such violence as a means to overcome problems. And to many Negroes, Martin Luther King was their counterpart If they believe this, then let them, as long as they practice what they believe to this extent In his eulogy, given by Rev. Abernathy, the following was said "In the words of M.irtin Luther King himself, let us pray, 'Father forgive them for they know not what they do'.* How can we look down our noses at the old west and talk about those lawless days. It appears that we have a worse condition today. Now, circling back to campus, let's take a last look before the holiday. Cullowhee, the eternal Suit Case School, will become bare again as the multitude leave for points north, south, east or west When you make it back tanned and lobsterish, Cullowhee will be here, the buildings will be here and most of all the administration will be here, that is, unless a riot develops. A new program of study, in the field of linguistics, has entered the WCU curriculum. This modern course offering will be available in the fall of 1968, A student will be able to take linguistics as a concentration. In addition to the seven lin guistics courses, ten more will be added as electives, Mr. William T. Burke is to be credited with the introduction of this program :.nto the English curriculum studies and receive his Ph.D. in linguistics and English at the University of Texas, He already holds a BA degree from the University of Boston. Burke has previously taught linguistics at the University of California in LA, For three summers, he trained students entering the Peace Corps, in San Jose, California. They were taught Tagalog, the native language of the I'hilipinos, for their base would be the l'nil- lipine Islands. At the moment, Burke is doing research on Uie Cherokee language on Uie Qualla Ite- servation. He expects to write a grammar and dictionary on Uie Cherokee language. "Linguistics,* according to Dr, Mabel T. Crum, "Is the study of language and how nrin learned to put sounds together in an intelligible pattern for communication and to transmit ideas,* Time magazine(Fcb, 16,1968) states, "This linguistics program is much in vogue at the present time,,,Linguistics has helped produce Uie mathematics language Uie computers trans mit and digest.,A linguistics program is offered on a com- William T.

WCU is the first institution to offer linguistics in an undergraduate program.in North Carolina Linguistics is a new science wiiich creates the new English grammar based on transformational linguistics. Twenty years ago, only four universities offered 1'hD's in linguistics, now there are thirty. The fascination with linguistics is growing among college students across Uie nation. This linguistics program should hold interest of those . students who arc planning to become anthropologists, sociologists or to enter the diplomatic corps. Studies in linguistics also help to understand foreign languages and their origins with greater clarity, The new WCU linguistics pro - gram should appeal to many students. Linguistics helps to enlighten Uie English curriculum and further broaden Uie courses offered at Western
