  • Tuesday, November 5, 1968 CAROLINIAN OUTLOOK By StanRabn Somebody said recently, "Have you ever noticed all the losers?" (How can you notice all of them?) I don't mean die ones who walk around in a psychedelic daze—I mean the ones who walk around in a natural daze, although it is difficult to tell which is worse. Or sometimes, which is which, "Grass-user" does not indicate a non-loser, And the abstention from grass does not imply the opposite, Abeard or long hair does not imply "grass-user" or loser. But locks on chin or pate do not establish the idea of WRONG o r non-conformity, True, many losers apply these and innumerable other methods to appear, er, unusual. Usual implication: individualism., Not that individuals lose, but maybe the overworn idea does. There are always excuses and fill- in explanations, a basic one being, "It's not my kick," or "I like it." All right, Why should you, shall we say, submit to forceful monetary remittance to any certain organization because of some social slip? Or why should one's "social" goose-chase be regulated by cloth dampers or copying? Fashion is re= markable, money is beautiful, sex with any urbanite philosophy, and here you have conformity, good taste, and dactylic dictation from those in the know, Not necessarily losers, however. Bjt definitely the majority. From every viewpoint the other viewpoint is a losing one, unless some are open-minded enough. That's all, thing you want to. It's up to you; whatever you like, whatever you want, go to it. You can rub-a-dub or float in any kind of monk's robe or banlon. You are some kind of something else. You are not an individual, you are merely made to think so by making others either ignore you or agree with you. And that's what it's all about. Agreeing and losing to one side or agreeing with that side and losing to the other... smple, eh? Losership bubbles down to one amazingly profound loser- quality—condemnation, Is a homosexual to be condemned because he is the way he is? Should a shaggy orgist be con- cemnsd because he enjoys other people? Well, should anything be condemned? Maybe mavbe not. Take a middle-class "critic" of the inhabitants of the Land of Lose, He works goes to his brick and carpet home, drinks beer, watches the elections, and reproduces more beer- drinking television watchers. Is he a loser? Maybe from his standpoint everyone else is (at least they are if they deviate, radically or otherwise, from the norm.) But if you don't slip out from under the normal bell- curve and, arrrgh!, REACT, you lose, Who says? Someone who doesn't think like you do. So what does all this m.-an? One, if you're a loser, you won't know it, And emphatically if you're not, you will know it, for nothing but certain. THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Appropriations . . .TYom Page 1. The organizations should have been notified ahead of time and given an opportunity to find other resources," However, both Dr. Owen and William Curtin met with President Pow today to discuss other possibilities for getting additional funds. Curtin had "no comment" on the band's situation. The band's request was cut from $13,750 to $500, According to Gary Mann, President of the University Center Board, the cut from the requested $10,800 to $2500 is even less than the appropriations UCB had lsst year, "The entire Board was disappointed in the committee's decision but I want to make it clear that we understand it's position, Unfortunately, the UCB will not be able to give the students all the entertainment they would like," said Mann, "We had hoped to have a dance almost every week, alternating on weekdays and on weekends. But this will mean fewer dances. We also considered free films weekly in the Center, but as of right now, we have approximately $1500 to last the rest of the year," concluded Mann, Feedback . • Prom Page 2. that most visitors come to this campus between 1:00 and 3:00; consequently, why shouldn't the Snack Shop open at 1:00 rather than 3:00? It certainly would seem more logical, and they would certainly benefit. If one has visitors on campus one certainly cannot pile them all into one booth of the Town House; therefore, I have only one sug ■ gestion to make. If the University Center Snack Shop would stop acting as if the students should be at their beck and call, they would gain business, and I would gain a Sunday paper, and my patience. Thank You, A Disgusted Student Page 3 'Campus Pacs'At Student Center Campus Pacs are coming!! That's what the signs around our campus are announcing these days.

Washington (CPS)— A recent observation,, attributed by New York magazine to Fugene McCarthy, seems appropriate this week.
