  • CAROLINIAN EDITORIA LS Slum Conditions It is a sad state of affairs when students must improvise a shower from a garden hose or build a wall so that they may use the privy without°passerbys seeing them. The Day Student Government's off-campus housing evaluation plans in the near future to warn students about such conditions .before they are forced to rent such a house or apartments. The evaluation, however cannot stop students from living in decrepit houses or stop owners from renting them. Students can live anywhere thev please, even in a tent, if they want to. The evaluation will give to students a scale of housing ranging from poor to very good. Many Freshmen who must seek off-campus housing are not aware of what they are renting until it is too late. The housing evaluation is hopefully to be published and mailed to these students so that they will know which houses are and are not acceptable for student living. Many owners charge outlandish prices for the most tumble-down shacks that the mind can conceive. They do this because they know that someone will have to rent it, Next year with the increasing number of students, prices for these shacks will probably go up even more. And student' will be forced to live there because of the lack of dorm space. We trust that, when results are published and houses and apartments are not on the recommended list, the owners will be obliged to improve the conditions of these dwellings. The Day Student Government is doing all it can to get leasors to improve their houses but many will not even let an inspection team look at the house. The owners who will not let a team see the places are usually the ones who have the worst housing conditions. The housing evaluation is a step toward making WCU a better place for the students. We congratulate the Day Student Government for taking the initiative to make a study of this type. Next week the Carolinian will publish a pictorial essay on off-campus housing conditions. J.D.W. Infirmary Incompetence; A Pack Of Ice The incompetence of the night staff at Graham Infirmary is beyond comprehension. Last night, a student was blinded (temporarily, we hope) by a chip of wood that accidentally flipped into his eye, cutting the eye lid severely. The student went to the infirmary to seek medical aid. What did he get? A pack of ice. The nurse reported that there was no foreign body in the eye. After giving the pack of ice, she said there was nothing more she could do for him. She didn't even bother to suggest that maybe, just maybe, he should go to the hospital to have his eye checked. Actions like these tear down all the improvements that the infirmary has made this year, and we are forced to believe that at night anyway, the infirmary is just as incompetent as it has ever been.

Letter Plugs Stickley Denr Editor: We, the members of the Student Committee Organized for Research and Evaluation, are pleased to announce our endorsement of Mr. John L. Stick- ley for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. We cite the following criteria as determinates in our selection of Mr. Stickley: We firmly support the principle of open access as stated in Mr. Stickley's address of March 29, 1968 in which he said, "The basic principle underlying our system of higher education is that of open ac= cess, which provides that every boy and girl finishing secondary school in North Carolina has a right to higher education." We are aware that not all high school graduates have university potential; however, this should not exclude them from post high school level education. We concurr with Mr. Stickley when he stated that "We must realize alongside the principle of open access stands a unified system of higher education with institutions of vastly different types . . ." Realizing the increased emphasis placed upon4nstitutions below the Consolidated University level, such as vocational and technical training c -uters, junior and community colleges, to meet these future needs "... will demand diversity within the system to fill the varied needs of the state, industry, commerce and of all society." We are in accord with Mr. Stickley's proposal to take the Board of Trustees out of the realm of politics. Recognizing the critical need for qualified teacher in rural areas of North Carolina, we, along with Mr. Stickley, advocate what is in essence scholarships for prospective teachers who agree to teach in these areas. We believe that Mr. Stickley's experience as past-President and current member of the Board of Trustees of Win- gate College gives him a first hand insight into the problems confronting higher education in this state. We have based our endorsement of Mr. Stickley primarily upon his stand on higher education — a subject which affects us directly. We wish to make it clear that this endorsement reflects only the concensus of the members of the Student Committee Organized for Research and Evaluation and is in no way in tended to represent the opinions and beliefs of the University Administration, the Student Government, the faculty, or the student body. Speaking for and in concensus with the Committee, we reiterate our endorsement of Mr. John L. Stickley for the Republican nomination for Governor of North Carolina. Respectfully submitted, William J. Burckley Chairman Erskine S. Walther Director of Research and Development The Broken Window By Freeman D. Jones Brrruuunnnnnmmhh. Brrruuunnnnnmin'ih. Strunu Twang. The Electric Jesus (Rock and Roll Group) are in concert one night only for a Rites of Spring dance - Admission Free-. And all the Bacchanates reel and whirl in a drunken possessed frenzy to the throbbing pulsing twang and oang vibrating from the drums and Electric Lyre, pushed through enough electricity to light every house in Suburbia for a month and finally through the ear so that music is no longer outside but inside your head. The Electric Jesus is brought to you live and in person and onstage by The Universal Fraternal Brotherhood Amalgamated Unity Fellowship Board Order Commission Committee and is there for your benefit and yours alone. Also it keeps people off the streets and out of the pool hall. It builds bodies seven great ways. It is good for your mind. Whirl and twirl and blow your mind. Take your shoes off and let your feet go naked. Paint your face and shave your legs and wear your essence of Over- Kill cologne and just turn it loose and let it down and Be Cool. Swagger up to the girl with the pin on her. . .blouse and say "Hi, baby. Wnat's a girl like you doing in a nice place like this?* and impress her. Say, "I have on my new Old McDonald Khaki Sta-Prests." Jump around a lot, Yell. Yell a lot, Put your hands over your head and jump straight up. Sweat Go out of your mind. This is (after all) a dance. the Electric Jesus paints portraits of your mini Yes YOUR mini They use grey brushes and many shadas )f black paint and they only do "paint by the number" pictures because they're all of you. The Electric Jesus has a message for you buried somewhere in 10,000 miles of cord and microphones put up in an apartment between the first and fourth stories of a bass guitar string written in a glass of water at the top of the stair. Listen. . . Stand, with your head insida a full blast speaker and listen like ! Listen until you no longer hear the sound. Listen until you become a vibration. Listen to yourself vibrate; then listen to your own vibration. And you might just hear what they are talking about, Touchdown Signal The University of Notre Dame may be noted for its football, but as a graduate student I was more interested in the towering new Memorial Library that faces the stadium across the mall. As I stood contemplating the library wall, and its 12- story mosaic of Christ with arms upraised in the sign of universal benediction, an old professor stopped beside me. We shared a moment of silent appreciation until, with a sigh, he remarked, "The undergraduates say He's giving the signal for a touchdown." from Reader's Digest
