  • 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 newspaper staff, or the student body. Hart's Resignation: The University's Loss It was with regret that we learned of Peter W. Hart's resignation as librarian last Thursday afternoon. The full details preceding this decision are still sketchy and possibly the whole truth will never be revealed. However, several things are clear. Peter Hart came to Western Carolina University in 1967 finding Hunter Library the worst university library in the state's system. He found himself faced with a nearly impossible task—to build a reputable library for an expanding and newly created regional university. He was plagued with criticism from students inspired by snide remarks from faculty. He was hampered by a poor tradition built up in the administrators and co-worders in the library through a lack of motivation from former librarians. He was confronted with crowded conditions and a need for trained personnel. And he was virtually defeated through a lack of sufficient funds. Yet through this horrific situation, Peter Hart's dedication began to work miracles. First of all the physical plant was expanded, improved and better utilized." Additional funds were granted for additions in holdings. The staff was increased and trained personnel hired. The library archives were begun. Library services were expanded and more courses in library science offered. The INWATS service program was employed. A work-' able method of book security through checking was established to prevent loss of books by theft. All university dependents were contacted as to what books each required. These titles were in time purchased and quickly made available. A much improved art program was initiated through displays, book additions, and film and slide acquisitions. The cataloging system received a complete overhaul. Administrators were kept informed about improvements and needs in the library. Library hours were made more regular. And most important Mr. Hart was open to constructive criticism and suggestions and often acted favorably on such advice. In short, the students, faculty, and administrators began to take a little pride in what had once been a .campus joke. - Now, whether through some fault of WCU administration or by a personal decision, the university is left out on the proverbial limb. A new and competent librarian must be hired to continue Peter Hart's progressive work. Let us hope together that the position is soon filled with someone of Hart's professional stature. i HEM MiSTER JUMM(j BCPORE TKE PHWfeS Woftk.[ I NEXT WEEK An Exclusive Interview bob scon Talks About WCU Editor's Notebook I Many things pass across the editor's desk throughout toe week. Many of these items are not important enough to merit a news story or feature; however, many are worthy of note. Cossius Clay At Appalachian State University last week students heard Cassius Clay. Also at Appalachian students are somewhat upset over library hours. The library, much larger both in physical facilities and in holdings than Western Carolina's , remains open 8:00 a.m. to 12 00 midnight daily, ECU BILL At East Carolina University a new student bill of rights has been passed. The bill was drawn up by the students them- selves, underwent six revisions before passing. A petition witn 2,6000 signatures supportedthe measure. Also at ECU two students have been charged with tending a patch of marijuana near Greenville. University Cheapened Former Governor Dan K. Moore recently stated in a Charlotte interview that the creation of so many regional universities across the state has cheapened the name "University* and he urged the state to take another look at higher education in North Carolina. "These have the name 'university' but they are not univer- sities. So I think the net effect is we are calling second rate colleges, in many in- stances, a university when they are not qualified to be such. The name 'university' has really been cheapened." Readers may recall that Dan K. Moore was governor when the state university system was broadened. Scott's Interview A recent telephone call to the governor's office revealed that the exclusive interview sche- duled for this week is still being drafted. It should be ready for publication by the end of next week. Mr. T. C. West, the governor's press assistant, stated that we had asked "some lu-lu questions." The questions prepared by the CAROLINIAN staff consisted of eight major items of concern to the students of Western Carolina University. The CAROLINIAN plans to continue this practice of interviews with various local.state, and national figures. Speaking of interviews, it might be interesting to send a few questions to former Gover- nor Dan K. Moore.

TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW." -RALPH WALDO EMERSON Letters To The Editor DEAR EDITOR: We would like to express dissatisfaction with an aspect of the school spirit expressed at the previous football games. In years past there has been a traditional song which has served to inspire fans and hei- ghten spirit during the length of the game. While this song is not directly related to the school, it is inspirational to the students, drawing more response than any other fight song or cheer. The enthusiasm created during the song is not ended with the song's completion, but continues as a support to the game's spirit This song is "Dixie." Must our school spirit rely on our few good fight songs, our cheerleaders, and'our unquestionably great team.' We would like to know why "Dixie" is not being played? Sincerely yours, Richard Goodman Douglas Edge EDITOR'S NOTE: The WESTERN CAROLINIAN is stiU checking on this. Watch for some statement in a later issue. Con't p. 5.
