CAROLINIAN EDITORIALS Us Too! The staff of the WESTERN CAROLINIAN wishes each of its readers a very enjoyable Christmas holiday! and a prosperous New Year. We sincerely hope that everyone will take a little time out Iron, his holiday festivities to remember the true reason why we celebrate Christmas. j I THINV< VU€Rt L0Vf • • u&ti The Closer You Get... Christmas is but 20 days away and with it comes a special spirit of giving to others. Weare now giv- °ng a gift to the students —an insight into the environment of WCU. he problems faced by and created by Western are paramount. Not all of these problems are started internally though by students of faculty; some like the New Christy Minstrels hlod-up came from political hodgepodge behind our backs- Many rules and regulations now in use stem from Victorian protectors of yesteryear, and have not beenupdated by their successor. There are many campus problems which can esily be worked by students and administrators takling them over. However, we feel that there is no certain solution to the parking problem that will ever be able to satisfactorily please the students, faculty, administration, and staff. The library, which is any educational facilhys corner stone , has improved,but there is still need for futher improvement along the lines of bigger and better selections of books. The campus PBX system is working, however, the regular phone service in the regular phone service is not adequate for 4,700 students plus faculty, and other area residents. Day Student Government is working hard to provide a booklet of available off-campus housing and a grading of this housing, but they could use a little more help from the Housing Office, and a University grading system. WCU and Cullowhee still have no fire protection. (Need we say more.) We strongly believe that apathy is still this University's worse enemy. Apathe on the part of : the students, faculty, alumni, staff, and community.

Subscription rate, $4.00 per year". NEW YORK (CPS) « The largest class of high school seniors in the nation hasn't really been back to school since last spring. As a result, many of them may not be going to college next fall. The students are members of the graduating class of the New York public school system, but they haven't been attending classes because the city's teachers have been out on strike. And since they haven't been in school, they haven't been able to complete their college entrance applications. Seniors in the city's 61 academic high schools this year number 45,000. More than 30,000 of them should now be in the process of finding a college for the fall. But in the last two months with the strike, the schools have been open only two weeks. When the students don't go to school, neither do the system's clerical workers. That has meant, for example, that schools haven't been sending student transcripts to college registrars. But that is only where the problems begin. Students who need help in locating a college and guidance in filling out their applications have been on their own because the strike has also meant that school counseling personnel have also not been available. In addition, teachers have not been filling out student recommendation forms. On another front, the state has had to postpone examinations for its scholarship program in the city until the schools open again. New York City students receive generally more than $7 million in grants under this program. A spokesman for the city board of education said that public school students in New York may miss out on these benefits altogether if the strike continues, but an official in Albany denied it. The schoolshavebeenclosed, except for brief periods, since the teachers' union struck on Sept, 9, the opening day of classes. The move was touched off when approximately 80 union instructors at a predominately Negro and Puerto Rican school in Brooklyn, fired by the local school board, were not reinstated. The fight has since expanded to include the whole issue of teacher employment security in the face of a city school board decentralization plan which would place the power to hire and Are at the local level. As the events have unfolded, the city has moved to have union president Albert Shanker jailed for continuing the strike despite a court order, while By BILL FREELAND Shanker has called for the dismissal of the administrators of the Ocean Hill-Brownsville school district, which fired the union members. While efforts are being made to end the strike, college administrators in many parts of the country have indicated they will be willing to make special exceptions for high school seniors affected by it. Typical of the response the Board of Education is getting after a survey of a number of colleges across the country came from R. Inslee Clark, dean of admissions at Yale University. "We have accepted people in the past in extenuating circumstances who did not have a diploma." he said, "and I can't imagine a more extenuating circumstance than this." Just how far colleges will be willing to go, however, is un certain. "If a college wants to exclude New York City applicants," a school board spokesman said, "thenthepro- blems caused by the strike would be a good excuse. It's all up to the individual institution," One area where allowances will be more difficult to make is on scores students make on competitive achievement tests. Some of these tests given in the senior year covering special areas will place New York city students without the benefit of senior year instruction at a strong disadvantage. Thus some students may be excluded from advanced college sections because of their grades. Negotiations aimed at settling the strike are now intensively underway. Some political leaders are threatening to call CONTINUED Page 3. . . Feedback Dear Editor: I wish to address this letter to the student body of WCU. There are approximately forty- seven hundred students enrolled at WCU and each of us pay a considerable amount of money in fees every three months. Twenty-one dollars of this fee supposedly goes into the activity fund. I, for one, would like to know where and how this money is spent. This quarter there have been only five shows. Due to an article in the Western Carolinian it is public knowledge that these shows cost $4,000 each. It wouldbeproper to remind ourselves that there have been only a few home football games this season. How many students attended those games? At most it would be a high estimate to say that there were 1,000 students present. It is interesting to note that the total activity fund for each quarter is between $80,000 and $100,000. Where is this money going? The five shows can only account for $20,000. Also there are a few fringe benefits which we pay for but by no means can they exceed a liberal estimate of $10,000. Oh yes, don't let us forget the football and basketball games. What can they cost when only a fraction of the student body attends them? I propose that the staff of this university present to us, the students and the people of North Carolina, an itemized financial report on the uses of the activity fee. Secondly I urge the student government to appoint a committee to study this financial report if we can get it. It would also be appropriate for a committee to work for a better and more equitable activity program. Yours truly, James K. Waldroup Class of '71 Dear Editor: My friend told me the other day he met a young man who seemed very blus. He asked the young m<in what he was worried about He replied that he was worried about being drafted into the army. My friend said to him, "If I were you, I wouldn't worry. Yoj've got two chances. You may be drafted and you may not. Even if you are drafted, you've got two chances. You may pass the medical examination and you may not. If you do pass th>3 medical examination, you have two chances. You may get sent into battle of you may get a nice desk job. Even if you do get sent into battle, you still have two chances. You may get killed, and you may not. And even if you get killed, you still have two chances. —Author Unkno//n Submitted by Suzanno McGinnis
