Opinions expressed by the columnists do not necessarily reflect those of toe administration, the newspaper staff, or the student body. Welcome Alumni Homecoming is always a joyous occasion, intr indeed the highlight of the year at Western Carolina University. It is a time when old friendships are renewed and new friendships began. To those returning as alumni this year, WCU holds many surprises. This university is doing greater and bigger things. The theme of the 35th Annual Presession Conference was "The New U." This indeed is the overall theme for this academic year. Many new things are being instituted. This year's student population exceeds 5,400. Many of our returning alumni remember then this institution boasted only 500 students. This year there are new student regulations which place the major social and academic responsibility on the individual. A new, revised Student Bill of Rights guarantees our students fair treatment in all areas. Just a familiar walk around campus will reveal numorous new structures. Returning alumni will find a mature, concerned responsible student body. They will also find several new members of the Board of Trustees, a new alumni director, and to many, a new president. Many will find several of their old teachers still serving the university along side a great many new ones. We are proud of the progress we have made in all areas within the recent years. We look forward to the future for greater progress. We are experiencing our own growing pains, but we know of no other institution which is without them. Here at WCU, unlike many universities today, we have the mechanics for solving many of these problems. Our student government is a very active force on this campus. Our administration is very perception of our needs and receptive to our suggestions. We welcome every returning alumni this weekend. We hope all will be able to attend all of the events being planned in their honor. Many have traveled just to see the game Saturday. We are indeed proud of our football team, but this is only one of the aspects for continued interest in our school. We urge all alumni to become active members of the WCU Alumni Association and support it wholeheartedly. It is our earnest desire to find in our alumni the new spirit which has evolved here on campus in the administration, faculty, and students* We stress the importance of an active alumni to help produce a better university. Remember, just as a university name is strengthened so will yours by having once been a student here. " I HATE QUOTATIONS. TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW. " Ralph Waldo Emerson NEXT WEEK An Exclusive Interview BOB SCOTT Talks About WCU Letters Dear Editor: Do you really believe vou were standing up for America'' Could it be possible you wer" giving aid and comfort to the enemy? Who benefits most from actions such as yours last Wert nesday 15? THE DAILY WORLD newspaper of the Communist Party in toe United States, has carried banner headlines for weeks praising the Vietnam Moratorium, its organizers and its participants. The leaders in toe Moratorium even refused to repudiate the praise bestowed on them by Hanoi and the Communist Party. Students are you blind? Do you insist on being a follower of Communism instead of a leader of Democracy? You have, by your participation in the Moratorium, encouraged the enemy to hang on longer in the war and thus instead of saving American lives you will be destroying them. Wake up students and see what is happening. The Youth of America have beencalledthe backbone of America. Let's show them we are not "yellow." Stand up for America the true way, support her. George Washington and the Boys Editor's Notebook A visit by the (Governor al- ways spurs interestat University campuses^ It was particu= larly pleasing Wednesday after- noon to witness a capacity crowd in attendance to hear North Carolina's Governor Scott's remarks in toe Grand Ballroom. The visit, arranged by the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce and University officials, gave toe Governor toe opportunity of visiting with area dignitaries and friends. The long black state limousine with the #1 license plate presents a formidable aura of political aloofness to the observer. However, when toe Governor emerges we see a young, personable, and cap- able state chief executive. Upon his arrival at the Uni versity Center he was greeted by many officials, calling sev- eral by name. Scott's speech was appropriately based on the broad sense of education. His remarks were geared to students, particularly those enter- ing the teaching profession. At the President's reception, immediately following a short question and answer period in the Ballroom, various members of the University community were able to chat informally with the Governor. Immediately upon arriving at the President's home, Mrs. Alex Pow, hostess, took the Governor on a guided tour of the recently remodeled residence. Over country ham biscuits and coffee, toe Gover- nor expressed his pleasure in The Western Carolinian EDITOR-IN-CHIEF BUSINESS MANAGER DAVID ROCK WHITTEN FRED GLENN CAUSBY MANAGING EDITOR W.

He stated that his aides had all commented to him that afternoon that of all the campuses visited they enjoyed this visit the most, He expressed his deep appre- ciation for the organization of the afternoon's activities. He appeared to be at ease and rested after a weekend of hunting and fishing. Although he was on a tight schedule Wednesday, he always had time to shake a student's hand, exchange pleasantries with an of- ficial, or inquire about a spe- cific project. The Governor was particu- larly interested in meeting and talking with every student pres- ent. We could tell he has a sincere interest in college students. In our brief discussion with him, he was ex- tremely complimentary on his reception and the general attitude of the students with whom he talked. We were able to pull the Governor to the side and ask him several questions. He related that he had been answering the CAROLINIAN questions, working with his assistants and various aides. Scott was presented with the latest issue of the CAROLINIAN which he promised to digest on his trip home. He commented that he was pleased to have been included this year on our regular mailing list, In talking with toe Governor's Press Assistant, Mr. T. C. West, by phone late Wednesday afternoon we learned that the Governor's answers and comments to the CAROLINIAN'S questions will be mailed Friday. They will appear in one of next weeks editions. As an afterthought, turning toward domestic issues, we have received a verbal confirmation from Mr. Frank Brown, V-P, that his resident chicken coop prominently on display Jin toe center of campus, will be moved by Homecoming. Of course, he did not specify what year.
