  • Page 4 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday, September 25,19^ EDITORIAL COMMENT Editorials are from the Editor's desk unless otherwise indicated by the writer's initials. Opinions expressed by the columnists do not necessarily reflect those of the administration, the newsjjaper staff, or the student body. Who's Tying Up The Line? The telephone problem is and persists to be a menace to the University community. Recent taken improvements by the Western Carolina Telephone Company are not the answer. Simply because the proper foresight and management were not employed and provisions made for an expanding university community, inadequate service cannot be dismissed with a sympathetic nod. The university must not suffer as a result of personal and mana- geral problems undergone by the telephone company. The public demands and deserves responsible and adequate services from its utility companies. Western Carolina Telephone Company and Western Carolina University are not exceptions to this rule. Various meetings have been held between Western Carolina Telephone Company representatives, university officials, state utilities representatives and attorneys assigned by the State Attorney General. These discussions have netted only minor improvements, however. In most cases the ratio of students to phones on this campus is approximately one to 50. Is this adequate? We think not. Many students have expressed interest in private phones. The new High Rise is completely wired to provide a phone in each room. The telephone company has assured the university that the installation of private phones is feasible from their standpoint. The university has in turn assured the telephone company that all dorms will be wired for private phones upon demand. To date no definite action has been taken or any serious proposals made by either party to even determine how many students desire phones. Several university officials feel that there is no student interest in private phones. We think differently. We further believe private phones will relieve our critical situation and could possibly be its answer. The convenience if not the necessity dictates this move. According to local telephone officials a phone can be installed in the High Rise dormitory for approximately $39. Twenty-five dollars of this is security deposit which collects six per cent interest and is returned after six months. Installation cost is $8 and $6 rent is charged each month. The first step that should be taken is an immediate meeting of university officials, student leaders, and telephone company officials to establish a clear doctrine of the responsibility of each in the procurement of private phones. Next, this doctrine should be made available to students and finally orders taken for private lines to be installed in the High Rise. Following closely must be a survey of all other dorms to determine how soon they may be properly wired for phones in each room, We urge every High Rise resident to take advantage of the opportunity available. We think several hundred will. What will be interesting to see, however, is how much attention will be given' to this area of student interest by certain stu- university officials and the Western Carolina Telephone Company. NEXT WEEK An Exclusive Interview BOB SCOTT Talks About WCU From the Thirty-Fifth Annual Pre-Session Conference: Under Phys<:al Appearance, Recommendation Number Three for serious consideration "For the improvement and beautification of our campus , that the chichen cooP adjacent to the Center Pharmacy be used or removed." Editor's Notebook When Governor Robert W„ Scott invited student body presidents and editors to the executive mansion earlier this month, he set another first in North Carolina history. This series of meetings with campus leaders was attended by representatives from most of the state supported institutions of higher learning. Several news articles resulted from the meeting, as several of the black students boycotted the dinner; however, those who did attend not only experienced a unique opportunity, but they also profited from the discus- sionsv The dinner, conducted in the grand ole style of formality as one would expect, was hosted by the governor and his charming wife. The dicussions, a series of informal question and answer periods lasted several hours after everyone had retired to the living room in the mansion. Those discussion periods centered around campus problems, and the governor was an at tentive listener and contributor. Twelve editors from across the state, the Director of Higher Education, Dr. Cameron West; his associate,Mr. John Kennedy; and the Governor's Special Assistant, Mr. David P. Murray; and the governor all sat around in the spacious room and freely and frankly discussed student concerns. The governor later stated that he hopes to periodically meet with this group. The student editors shared with the governor and others what they considered to be legitimate concerns on their individual campuses. These in turn were discussed and rediscussed, all sides considered and some suggestions and alternatives offered This editor left Raleigh with a clearer insight into a number of these problems and shared with the governor many problems facing this campus. It is interesting to note that the problems and concerns of this university were the same as those faced by many others. those taken the day earlier by The Western Carolinian "VOICE OF THE STUDENTS" Published semi-weekly by the students of Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, N.

Box 3,7, Cullowhee, g C.' 3K£™i, «.ffS "I HATE QUOTATIONS. TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW." -RALPH WALDO EMERSON John Henning, Student Body President, This editor came away with a strong feeling that many of our problems are being worked out and that lines of communication are open between students and administrators. This is notthe case on most state-supported campuses., This university is highly regarded by those officials in Raleigh as a leader. This editor met the next morning with officials of the State Board of Higher Education and many Western concerns were discussed. It is interesting to note that those problems related to the governor by the other editors were problems that we encountered several years ago, even though some of the schools are much older and larger than Western. This state is fortunate in having a chief executive who values the opinions and suggestions of college youth and eagerly solicits their views. The major problems that were discussed at the Raleigh meeting included campus housing, quality education, creation of new departments, library needs, general campus- community relations, student- administration relations, parking, telephones, rising costs, student representation, the role of student government, and the responsibilities of campus newspapers. This editor was pleased to report that students were represented on all committees; student leaders are invited to Board of Trustees meetings; tuition costs are lower than most schools despite recent rise; students stand behind student government; students are protected by a liberal Bill of Rights; a liberal code of behavior places greater responsibility on the individual student; students have clear lines of communication with the administration; and a new judicial system is now in effect The concerns of our students are listed in about a dozen questions to the governor.These have been placed in the form of written questions, and the governor has received them. Governor Scott has agreed to an exclusive interview for the WESTERN CAROLINIAN. In this interview, the governor will comment* on eight n^01" items of some concern to WCU students. Watch for this —next week. Think everyone will be most interested in reading Governor Scott's comments. The following week, we shall go somewhere else for the CAROLINIAN exclusive.
