  • CAROLINIAN EDITORIALS Unnecessary Requests This year there were more clubs and organizations requesting money from Appropriations than ever. Because of these added divisions, the Appropriations Committee was taxed to distribute what money it had. Even with the added appropriations, coming from a larger enrollment, the committee was forced to rule out many requests as unnecessary, and many others because they felt they were unfairly requesting student funds. We fully agree that many of the organizations which requested student funds did not deserve them, There are many organizations on this campus which do not serve a majority of the students, or do not allow campus-wide selection of their chief executives. We believe that these organizations should not receive money from the student activities fee. If these organizations assume that they have as much right to student money as the organizations which serve all the students—they are wrong. Student appropriations should be given only to those organizations which use them for the benefit of the students, and not for the organization's enjoyment. When an organization states that it is run solely from its individual revenue, it then cannot expect to receive several thousand dollars from the students. This is especially true when the organization does not want the entire student body to elect its manager. If the organization wants to be run totally by its clique, then the clique must suffer the consequences when it receives lesser appropriations. Other organizations which request monies for the equipping of their members are totally out of order concerning student monies. Personal equipment is the responsibility of each individual member, and not of the entire student body. Organizations requesting monies for public relations and recruitment seem to have overlooked the fact that the University has paid, full-time public relations and recruitment staffs. They should be able to find better ways of improving their services to the campus; other than doubling expenses unnecessarily. The money for the above services will come not from student funds, but from specially designated state appropriations. We stand behind the Appropriations Committee's decision to rule out or cut down on the monies received by organizations which do not fully deserve them.

Dear Editor: The Bloodmobile of the American National Red Cross, Asheville Regional Blood Center, will be on our campus Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 28-29, to receive blood donations. The unit will be set up in the Blue Room of the Hinds University Center from noon until 6 pm each day. The record of the students, faculty, and staff of Western Carolina University in contributing blood Is one of the best in the entire region served by the Blood Center. Last April, during the regular visit of the unit to Western Carolina University, a total of 436 pints of blood was donated. Last summer, a very successful visit resulted in replenishment of the Center's supply of blood at a critical time. Now, for this visit, the goal is 600 pints. Each individual donating blood receives a card entitling him to receive blood in any quantity, without obligation to replace It, for a period of 12 months from the date of donation. This provision applies in all participating hospitals. The protection not only covers the donor, but also the other members of his immediate family, if they are unable to be blood donors. A total of eight donations to the program will entitle the donor to a membership in the Gallon Club, with lifetime coverage. Persons who offer to donate blood and who must be postponed or rejected for medical reasons will receive a card entitling them to receive blood during the ensuing three months. Because of my respect for the work of the Red Cross, I am urging all members of the faculty and staff to join with the students in making this program a great success. First-time donors are especially welcomed. A freshman who donates this year, for instance, can be a member of the Gallon Club by the time he graduates. An urgent meeting out of town will make it impossible for me to join you next week. In anticipation of this, however, I have arranged to donate blood in Asheville this week, and have it credited to the Western Carolina University record. Cordially yours, Alex S. Pow, President Telephone- Dear Editor: A letter I received recently from the president of Western Carolina Phone Company, Mr. Armstrong, concerning the telephone service on this campus: Dear Mr. Jones: Your column, The Broken Window, in the Sept, 24, 1968 edition of The Western Carolinian, contained a statement and a complaint regarding telephone service. The statement was that "There are seven lines from Cullowhee to Sylva ...". There are actually 15 circuits from the University PABX to the Cullowhee central office (this quantity can be increased to 30 if the Administration so desires). There are presently 15 free calling circuits between Cullowhee and Sylva with an addition of five more circuits scheduled for Installation within two months. There are 20 long distance circuits to Cullowhee with an addition of eight more circuits scheduled for installation within the next ten weeks. These statistics are only to indicate to you that we are sensitive to, and aware of, the needs of The University and we planned for, and ordered, circuit additions long ago to try to keep pace with your rapid expansion. It may be that our plans and forecasts of facilities lag behind your needs on occasion, and for that reason we will always be interested to hear of any deficiencies which you find in our service. Yours very truly, J. Armstrong President This is not solely the responsibility of Mr. Armstrong but ... there is still a critical need for improvement of phone service on this campus. If you have (or for that matter if Mr. Armstrong has) tried to get a line from Western to the outside world at any but the most opportune time you too realize this deficiency. Now is the time, people, complain to Mr. J. Armstrong, President Western Carolina Telephone Company, 15 South Main Street, Weaverville, N.C. 28787. If you care, a simple letter may remedy the situation. Yours, Freeman D. Jones The Broken Window By Freeman D. Jones Ten thousand flaggelates mar- ing Up a hill in a lightening storm While peeping toms doing their peeping Through windows of ten thousand dorms. Alone in a roomful of spiders Asleep on the head of a tack Wrapped up in a leather ban- dina Stapled tight to the flesh on the back. Sitting naked beneath ice cold showers Their toes playing bob with the drain A dozen one armod bongo drummers Drumming drums of passion and pain. A candle is flickering lightly Pushing gloom from crevice & crack Revealing a dozen gorillas Tied up to their necks in a sack. A flagpole throbs in the twilight A light pulsates in the hall The triangular girl scouts choose teammates And frantically climb up the wall. The coctail party still rages, Crashing to death by a bore. A drunk softly sighs in a corner While he nails his own feet to the floor. A bear in a barrel of jello Singing Christmas Carols In the dark; While the Blind Lemon Jefferson Singers Stitch patterns on heads in the park. An impotent ice box stands weeping Never having a role it could play Denying, that by its existence It, too, has a price it must pay. A priest picking flowers at midnight A chocolate covered-up nun The hound of the Baskervilles blinded From howling all day at the sun, Convinced of his own inhibitions The illigimate child Of a race of mental pygmies CONTINUED Page 3
