CAROLINIAN The Flu Even though the flu has struck WCU with force and an untold number of students have come down with it, class3s will NOT be called off. The present over-load faced by the infirmary has presented a unique problem, in that students not in the infirmary cannot recieve excused absences for classes missed even though many sick students have been told to stay in bed in their dorm rooms after recieving medication at the infirmary. This situation is worsened by the fact that many professors are lowering student's grades because of their unexcused absences. We feel that students who are sick and need to be in bed, even though there is no space available in the infirmary, should be excused from classes In trying to be good students some will attend class even though running a temperature; this not only endangers their own health, but can spread the flu to other students and faculty members causing an even grater problem. No professo should therefore lower a student's grade because that student has the flu. We hope that some solution can be found in the next few days so that flu stricken students will not fail courses because of illness. A list could be made from Hie list of those treated by the infirmary then given to dorm hostesses, who would keep the students until they are well enough to resume class attendance. The hostess would then give the student an excuse for his classes missed. If the "walking wounded" continue to be forced into class attendance they may bring about the heretofore rumored epidemic and the eventual closing of the school. If any student is having a class cut problem because of the flu we urge him to contact Charles Sutton or Dr. Turner as soon as posible and inform them of the situation. Sutton and Turner are doing all within their power to help flu stricken students.

Chances are she might have the right idea. According to recent survey's conducted by top psychiatrists, the whole country's gone on a sex binge. And what's even more serious, instead of the usual hangover, we may wind up with a population crippled by impotence. While most other animals have ridigly defined mating seasons, man is open for business all year around. Add to his perennial susceptibility a coldly calculated campaign of overstimulation and the results are dynamite. From the time he first dimly senses that little boys are not little girls, a systematic assault is made on the sexual instincts of every American male. The mass media do a sexual brainwash job that would make Pavlov's celebrated dogs yelp and howl for mercy. The movies blaze the trail with an endless parade of infinity desirable fleshpots, each of them apparently intent upon seducing the entire human race with a single paralyzing glance. Acting on the theory that sex is a full-time business, halfhearted or lukewarm responses are strickly verbatim. The supreme object of every talent- hunt is to find the irresistable horn of plenty, a Cleopatra- like siren who can fan the flame she feeds. Delicate little damsels like Marilyn Monroe are a case in point. Her chief claim to fame is not in having what other women lack, but in having more of it, In properly seductive surroundings, with every quivering ounce of her person tantillzlngly on display, shebe- comes the perfect vehicle for the self-perpetrating daydream into which the male is continually casting himself. Taking its cue from the movies and the stage, the world of fashion also plays a decisive role in the conspiracy against male celibacy. Newspaper, magazine, and television commercials all beat the drums in a relentless war on chas= tity, grimly warning the hapless female that her only chance for survival is seduction. In order to meet her more fortunately endowed rivals on the field of battle, she must come equipped with the best armor and most formidable weapons that modern industry can provide. If her face is blemished, they'll wipe it away. If her bosom droops, they'll, give her a lift If her teeth are dull, they'll shine them up. Whatever her natural defects may be, science and industry have an answer. The base metal oi realty can somehow be transformed into the gold that dreams are made of--for a price. By Freeman D. Jones T-ie most popular music of f 3 day echoes the same in= satiable hunger. It is no accident that the primitive Rock and Roll beat has swept the country like a storm! Especially among our youth, this new craze has reached the propor= tions of an institution. And the new ceremonial dance which accompanies the beat and celebrates its meaning is scarcely less suggestive than a tribal strip-tease act. Denounced at first as indecent, it quickly caught on and became the "thing" because it satisfied a need and provided an outlet for the pent up tensions of erotic over-stimulation. It stands to reason that you can't subject an organism to constant prodding and stimulation without expecting a response. If you expose an entire population to temptation and imply that the effects of not indulging will be positively harmful, few will resist the lure. Recent studies of sexual behavior (such as the Kinsey Reports) show an enormously accelerated activity which almost amounts to a national obsession. One of the results of this increased activity has been an alarming increase in the extent and variety of sexual practices: the bi-sexual and homo-sexual may soon become as prevalent in the U.S.A. as they were in the hey day of ancient Greece. Another is the gradual rise of impotence in men. Stimulated far beyond their capacity to respond, many become jaded and lose interest, or weaken and lose their virility. Others are crippled by feelings of fcuilt and inadequacy. Their inability to keep pace with the acceler= ated "norms" of sex practice marks them as different and somehow inferior. In either case, the result spells trouble for future generations which will have to pay for the tune we dance to. End. Reprinted without permission from Vol. 6 No. 1 Jan. 1957 issue of The Male POINT of View this article Are You Oversexed? makes it obvious that contrary to popular belief the human body is not a self= regulating organism and since we are the future generation to which the article refers, and since we have undergone 12 long years of over-stimulation with the added degenerative force of Rock and Roll music and lewd dancing the human race has intercoursed itself out of existence. Oh well. You win a few and lose a few ... Feedback Dear Editor, I would like to bring to your attention what I believe is a bad procedure here at WCU. This quarter, I am a lab assistant for one of the Geology professors. I am In the class~ room from ten until twelve o'clock on Tuesdays and Thursdays for this purpose. Onthesa days, I cannot eat In the cafe= teria because I also have classes from twelve until three o'clock. I requested a refund from the accounting office three times. The first time, they said I needed a note from the professor saying I had a lab at those times. The second time, they said there would be no refunds until the 13th when all schedules would be frozen. The third time, they said that since I was being paid for my work in the lab, I could receive no refund. The refund was to be $10. As many of you know, I won't get rich in this lab. I'll receive $18 per month for these two labs. That's for 16 hours in the class and about 4 or 5 hours helping other students, doing research, or grading papers. So for about 20 hours per month, I'll receive $18. As you can see, I'm not in it so much for the money, but I enjoy Geology and I like to see other students enjoy it, too. It's good training and I like working with the professors. I like doing this, but as I said before, I'm in class from 10 until 3. I'm a 6* 2",175 lb., 20 year old male, and I get hungry. So what do I do at three on Tuesdays and Thursdays? I get something to eat, french fries, coke, anything. It cost me money. My family isn't broke but we aren't especially rich either.. I have two years left here, I hope, and my sister starts college next year. Both my parents work already. And they've already paid for these meals that I won't receive. Is WCU going broke? Do they need money that bad? A state- supported school now, really. How many students, academically that is, help in lab? I have over a 2.7 QPR but I don't have a beard or even sideburns. I don't like violent protests, but I don't want to be short $10 either. Maybe the business office has it in for lab assistants. I heartily invite your comments on this. Thank You. Phil McBrayer 16 Buchanan
