  • CAROLINIAN EDITORIALS Check And Double Check It seems unusual that the WCU Cafeterias are charging students, who have meal tickets, for meals when they forget their meal tickets, and not refunding the money. These students have already paid for their meals, and it is a little unreasonable to make them pay again. The probably reason for this is that in the past SOME students, without meal tickets, have gotten free meals by pretending to have forgotten their meal tickets and have put down false names and student numbers. However, this is not always the case. Many students actually forget their meal tickets and then put down their actual names and numbers, because they have nothing to lose, since they have pre-paid, Even if a student forgets his meal ticket-ID packet there are other ways of checking to make sure that he puts down his true identity. A simple check of his drivers license or some other form of identification would verify his identity. If this were not feasible, why could the cafeterias not have the computer center run off several lists of those students who have meal tickets and give a list to each cashier. Then the student could prove he paid for a meal ticket, This system has proven most successful at several other colleges and universities. Why has the new no-refund rule just now come into effect? Refunds could be made after a simple check of cafeteria files, which would prove the student had a meal ticket, If the cafeterias are going to stress showing meal tickets and LD. 's at every meal to make sure that no one slips by on someone else's ticket, why don't they develop a foolproof student number check? As large as our cafeteria system is they can not lose very much money on the slipping through by non-meal-ticketed students. A dollar's worth of food gets thrown away here or there anyway. As the university grows and the numbers of students eating in the cafeterias increases, the cafeteria will be forced to develop a better, more elaborate system of checking to see if a student has paid for a meal ticket.

Look at it this way, though, it's only eight more weeks till we can all go back home to Coon Holler and impress every= one with our suave, sophisticated, pseudo-intellectual, col= legiate way of thinking and/or acting. Freshmen, weren't Mommy and Daddy surprised last weekend to see the pack of cigarettes you tried to hide from them? And just what did Daddy have to say about the five o'clock shadow you guys started three weeks ago? Congratulations to the ones who have actually stayed and supported the Cats on week-ends. I wish you all would try to learn to stop pouring Vodka into your Cokes. Oh well, at least we haven't sent one of our goodly Pages over lately to steal the enemy's flag (that is colors) and end up with a rap on the mouth (Richly deserved, methinks.) Why doesn't an establishment with a sanitation grade of "A" have its employees at least wash their hands? Let's make sure and realize the importance of this election year. After all, it isn't every year that we have a scholarly Alabamian running for Fuhrer. Hats off to the New Christy Minstrels for a great performance. It is a shame, though, that they had to put up with a few people in the audience who decided to give their own show. Ah, yes! There's nothing like a few Geeks who play chicken with the performers. How about a banana eating contest for them so they can enter the limelight? Speaking of contests, the cider drinkin' turned out to be a big success. Our sincere sympathy goes to whoever cleaned up the general area afterwards. Couldn't you cafeteria cashiers manage to smile at least once in a while? Please? Two things suddenly come to our attention. Number one: We're running out of space. Number two: Is there a single honest person to deal with in the Cullowhee area? Food for Thought: Are we really as cool as we think? Mommy and Daddy can entertain themselves on some weekends. By The Inimitable PAW How many of us shudder to think about exacUy nine months after the past weekend. Drink much, everybody?
