  • CAROLINIAN EDITORIALS The Nomad This year the WCU literary magazine, The NOMAD, will attempt publishing two issues. However, this cannot be done unless students submit materials to be published. In past years the major problems of the NOMAD have been a lack of funds and a gross lack of student interest. The first problem has been almost eliminated by the state grant of two thousand dollars, over and above school appropriations. But the magazine still needs at least 1,000 dollars to put out the two planned editions. This additional money will be used to make the editions larger and allow the staff to use color pictures and reproductions of paintings. If the Appropriations Committee does not grant this request, chances are that Western will not have a quality literary magazine this year. Beyond the scope of this year's publication, it is not likely that the state will award us another two-thousand dollar grant for the NOMAD. Lack of student interest is, however, a totally different type of problem. The NOMAD could have all the money the university could give it and still not be able to put out a quality magazine because students will not use their talents and/or will not submit anything for publication. Students are not required to be members of the Student English Seminar, English majors, Professional Writing majors, or Art majors to submit short stores, poems, or art work to the NOMAD. Any student, no matter what his major, may submit stories, poems, art, or pictures to the NOMAD for consideration in the publication. We believe that if a student has any literary or artistic ability, he should share his talents with the entire student body, and the NOMAD is the perfect media for these abilities. We strongly urge each and every student to try his best to submit any literary or artistic work he has to the NOMAD. Besides the- chance to have an article or painting published, the magazine offers the author or artist an excellent addition to his portfolio to show prospectve employers. This year is totally different from last year and the magazine will be different, We believe that, if students submit material to and support the NOMAD then WCU can have one of the best college literary magazines in the state.

Kick off your tassle loafers rip off your ban Ion and run naked screaming off into the hills. Grind up some poke berries and some red clay and paint magic all over your body, put crow feathers in your hair, tie bright shiny things together and wear them, build little fires and singe your supper in the smoke and fresh air, get up when you feel like it or if you feel like it, spend hours and hours watching a water fall or a hawk making it on a thermal updraft and consider this a wise investment, Revert, Regress. Grub around in the dirt and eat roots and berries for a season, dine on anything you can lay your hands on; believe it or not the woods are still full of game and human beings are still more adapted to hunting than most of them would like to admit. You can catch things like fish and rabbits and snakes with your bare hands and they can be eaten raw. Learn that time is not mea" sured in hours, minutes, and seconds but in seasons, wet and dry times, and the amount sunlight you get during any given day. Wake up some morning... or afternoon and find that your watch has ceased to function. After you stop laughing, either toss it in the nearest bush or tie feathers and string and little bits of esthetic looking stuff to it and make a totem or charm or troll stick out of it. Watches, after all, can be useful. Probably the next convention to bite the dust will be the old hang-up of eating with spoons and forks and table manners. Food (yes even snakes and bugs) tastes just as good and sometimes much better when you eat with your hands. Even dribble juices and little bits of whatever you're devouring down Into the beard you will have grown by this time and down onto your chest, It won't hurt, might even help. There are all sorts of therapy you know. Find a lake for Instance. Not a nice lake with picnic tables and houses and boats but an old cruddy lake miles from the nearest house, with only a footpath going to lt—away from the safety and security of police protection and these carbon arc Birth Control lights—miles from the warm congenial atmosphere of the neighborhood Launderama (100 machines—no waiting) just a plain old lake with plain old water in it and when you find such a place peel whatever few shreads of clothing you still wear from absolute necessity and leap kicking and screaming back into the womb of mother nature. Let the water slide over your skin without a bathing suit strangling your lower abdomen to death, loll around knowing that your country club and your television and your mortgage, and crabgrass and car payments, and fiberglass outdoor barbeque pit, and all the traffic lights and bitchy clerks and other little cogs In the giant CONTINUED Page 3 . . . . THE CAT'S DEN SHAZAMM Here we've caught Mr. Lee Farmer (N.C. Brown Belt Karate Champion) testing the perfect blend of crisp crust, thick sauce, tangy cheese, & spicy toppings that the Cat's Den offers on all Its fine variety of pizzas. We also have a great selection of sandwiches to add to the already tasty menu. So take It from Mr. Farmer (You noticed we called him Mister) it's hard to BEAT a Cat's Den pizza. Open 7 days a week From 4:00 p.m. til 12:00 p.m. 'cept on Fri. & Sat Then it's 1:00 p.m. (The Finest Pizza and Subs this side of Tilley Creek) (THE CAT'S DEN)
