October 9,19C9 WESTERN CAROLINIAN Pag«5 Greetings and salutations to everyone. It Is good to be back with you again after my long vacation. You will never guess what happened to me this summer. First of all I was swept away by the big tornado that hit the campus and blown clear up to New York ... but I did enjoy my stay there . . . You Know that they have this play, where everyone takes off their clothes. . . Cullowhee should be so lucky. . .Speaking of Hairy people. . .The North is with us again. I have never seen so many rejects from a barber shop . . .1 guess someone was right when he called this the New U. Have you seen the girls lately. . . The summer was so hot and humid that it shrunk all those skirts and dresses. , .It is soooooo nice to see all those legs. After a long stay in seclusion, I have become aroused by certain happenings and changes on campus. During Pre-Session Conference, I under stand those Student leaders attending were a little shaken by comments from Dr. Gilman during his speech. But one certain campus clergyman was even more shaken. Sometimes the truth hurts. ..

As I gazed upon the political scene this quarter and the past few days It disturbs me greatly. How can a Day Student Judicial Council or what have you do with so many judicial members . . . what are they going to do .. try each other? I also understand that a certain Senator Is now a member of this Judicial system.. .isn't that a conflict of interest. . . or Is It just something more in the way of political scheming, huh... Mr. P.

And to the band director I wiU personally furnish the musical score for Dixie so the band can play it.. .Unt that the reason you gave someone? Ah, as the quarter beings so goes certain laws and regulations set down last year. .. It seems that our campus cops can now dictate a* wall as enforce these regulations. . . Isn't that so Carl? How come tickets war* given for people parking in front of the Townhouse and Post Office.. .these are private and public parking faculties. .. As for my ole eating spot the Cat's Den.. .Isn't there a conflict of interest to try and compete with the University Restaurant or Is It the other way around? Homecoming, sweet Homecoming. . .It is almost upon us and I understand that this year will be the biggest and wettest of all. . .but what are the Greeks going to do since there aregolnc 40 be only two big displays. . . one for the Sororities and one fer the Fraternities. . . that leaves a lot of time on your hands Greeks. . .better find something else to do. . .Ah, but of course, with the new regulation, there Is plenty to do, .. .1 think 1 •And for the WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE ...

From The Presided A Message From JOHN HENNING, resident Of The Student Body Election Delay Due to a Constitutional technicality, which was discovered In time, the Freshman Class Senator election of Oct. 8, was declared null and void by the Elections Committee of the Student Senate. The elections of Freshman Dorm Senator will also have to be delayed. The filing for these offices will be October 21-23 and the election on Oct. 30. It Is my hope that candidates will re-file and run. Homecoming On October 6, Sue Page (co- chairman) announced to the Student Senat e the theme for this year—WCU's HAPPENING— '69. The activities will be great that week and enjoyable for all students. The committee Is preparing a letter to aU clubs and organizations concerning floats and displays. Following the traditions of WCU is an important part of university life. Freshman are urged to wear their beanies until homecoming. StaffAdditions This past week, two fine additions have been made to student government. John Pechmann, as Presidential Assistant, and Cindy Leonard, as un- er-secretary, adds two dedicated, hard-working students to the staff, I am sure that they will serve their fellow students well In their time-consuming jobs. CRACKS From the Jar Today the jar must depart from Its usual tone of light" ness and sarcasm which readers everywhere have cdme to expect. For the first time in the history of this University an important issue is being raised in a meaningful manner. Important, that is, in the broad er sense, in the sense of relating to' the community as a whole, the nation, indeed the world, The past decade has witnessed the emergence of the American student as concerned with more than dorm rules, parties, and beer as concerned, in fact, with the Important human questions racing mankind. This concern has been expressed In many forms, some sensible and constructive, some irrational and destructive, some meaningful, some vicious, some merely Innocuous. It has been a rare campus, Indeed, at which this concern, and the committment which comes with it, has been absent. Such, however, is the situation we have found with little exception at WCU. Next week, however, on Wednesday, it appears that the silent generations of Western stu- ents will break their silence. And they will not break their silence by taking over a bundling or bydlsruptlnga recruiter. They will notbreak their silence by throwing rocks or by beating people up. Rather, the voice of student concern wiU be expressed peacefully, rationally, and with dignity. Some will join with th e local clergy in special services in order to pray for peace, to pray to God for an end to the tragedy that is Vietnam. Some will give up their classes on that day In order to participate in seminars and discussions at which the Issues will be raised, and join with concerned faculty members in the attempt to make sense out of events which seem to defy both sensibleneas and sensitivity. Some will attend a public invocation and listen to others present their views in the hope that some understanding may be reached. Some will do all of these things. All will try, in their own ways and according to their own consciences, to express to President Nixon their feelings, beliefs, frustrations and concerns about his unresponsiveness to the A- merican people. President Nixon has indicated that he will not be In any way affected Dy tms snow of dissatisfaction toward his policies. No matter how many millions of Americans tell him he must change, he will not listen, he saysl The October 15 Moratorium is based on the idea that he must listen. That when students and professors and workers and clergymen and farmers and professional people speak to their President, not In hundreds or thousands, but in millions and tens of millions, not with rocks, but with words, not violently, but peacefully, that when the A- merican people talk to their President, he must listen. All over the nation, in business and schools, In factories and in Congress, in homes and in churches and on campuses the American people will be talking to Mr. Nixon next Wednesday. Here in Cullowhee, students and faculty and clergymen and other citizens will joir. with their fellow Americans on this d_y. There is no "group" or "party" or faction behind this. There will be no disrupting of anything, no breaking of laws, no violence. There will be a meaningful effort by individuals to raise the issues, to discuss, to think, and to pray. Think about it now. Think about the thousands of boys who have been killed and maimed. Think about the millions of men, women, and children who have lost their homes and their farms, their famUies and their lives. If you believe the needless destruction should end, perhaps you should join the expression of sorrow on Wednesday. And if you still believe there It reason for the destruction, perhaps you should participate on Wednesday and discuss your point of view. In either case. grasp this opportunity to talk and to listen and to show that you do care. And think about this—There is no way to Peace. Peace is the Way. Jar
