  • EDITORIAL COMMENT Editorials are from the Editor's desk unless otherwise indicated by the writer's initials. 0|.in ions expressed by the columnists do not necessarily reflect those of the admuv'stration, the news^i-er staff, or the student body. Try the Cold Cols Hie cafeteria amazes us. As Western Carolina continues to grow by leaps and bounds, making progress in many fields, we find ourselves hampered by Stone Age day-to-day operations. One appalling case in point is the methods employed in our cafeterias. The management refuses to open a third line at Brown Cafeteria thus creating a long, winding mass of hungry students, who have lost their patience by the time they have withstood this exhausting ordeal. As if this weren't enough, the student has to ramble through Ihe silver rack in a desperate attempt to find three pieces of clean silverware. Coupled with this, the student must be well-versedinthe rules and regulations of rationing: 1 meat, 2 vegetables, maximum of 2 rolls, maximum of 2 teas, 1 dessert, 1 salad, 1 pack of crackers; or, 1 meat, 2 vegetables, 2 desserts, forfeit salad, 2 teas; or 1 meat, 3 vegetables, forfeit salad and dessert, tea optional; or, miss one tairn_and be disqualified—take cold plate from top. The milk, ice, and cracker game is at a crisis level. Only experienced players can survive. No prizes awarded for low score. Here's how it works. Two milks In the morning, 1 at noon, 2 at mghtfor, forfeit 1 milk and take juice in morning, 1 milk at lunch regardless of who you know. Supper is the worst of all— 2 teas, 2 milks, 1 tea plus 1 milk, 1 milk plus 1 tea, or any combination of the above. We have just learned how to make ice at WCU. Until this new luxury becomes commonplace as any economist will tell you, pay 5<5 for ice year round, regardless of the weather. Now we hit the crackerbox, guarded by the ever- present, ever-smiling, beady-eyed matrons, who patrol , and possess the power to frisk at will. Warning: 2 packs of crackers may be hazardous to your health. Take 2 packs of crackers, miss one turn, or go to the end of the line. Present proper credentials for inspection, i.e. meal ticket backed by I. D., stamped and stapled in a prescribed transparent plastic case. It takes no expert to realize that our day-today cafeteria operations are absurd in a number of cases, ft seems to us that several reforms are desperately needed. They can be instituted without any major calamity resulting. All that is needed is a little practicality. The University's Loss It was with deep regret that we learned of the death of two men who have given much to Western Carolina University. J. Ramsey Buchanan of Sylva, a member of the Board of Trustees for many years, was a devout supporter of our institution. During his years on the Board he saw major changes and *»• imral-ed In a majority of these. His dedication and service was recognized throughout the region, and we were fortunate in having had the benefit of his allegiance. Western Carolina University will miss J. Ramsey Buchanan and should strive to grow and progress in his image. Jim Norton was an invaluable figure in the School of Education and Psychology. His death represents a great loss to our institution. Those of us who knew Jim Norton know of the many contributions and sacrifices he made for WCU. Even those who did not know him will benefit from his work. These men left much to Western Carolina University. For this they will be remembered. Ramsey Buchanan and Jim Norton left much to WCU.

Also, amidst the at= mosphere filled with these happy melodies, one detects the overtones of death, hatred and starvation==-from the corners of Biafra, rice-paddies of Vietnam, mountains of Bolivia, filth-infested streets of the ghetto,collapsing cabins of Mississippi. From the hearts of men, women and children who pray for another Prince of Peace. ... As we the "fat" citizens rejoice at the beginning of anew year, the stomachs of millions are cramped in painful hunger, screams of pain come from the lungs of a dying soldier, sobs of fear exude from a child whose parents lie dead at his side, emptiness dulls the hearts of a family surrounded by squalor, nothingness. And they wonder if there was reaUyever a Prince of Peace... . The great decade of the 60's has ended. Ten years characterized by violpnce and selfishness. The assassinations of such men as John Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., Bobby Kennedy, Malcolm X; wars In Bolivia, Biafra, Vietnam, flu Middle East among others, a time of the great technological sophistication and expansion — a time when human right and dignity were rended asunder; man walked on the moon and on the backs of other men; man isolated the gene—and continued to pollute the waters and air; the courts freed Dr. Shepard—and imprisoned Bobby Seale; doctors performed heart transplants—and the Chicago police murdered Fred The Western Carolinian EDITOR-IN-CHIEF BUSINESS MANAGER DAVID ROCK WHITTEN FRED GLENN CAUSBY MANAGING EDITOR W.

Sincerely, Janice L. Huss Dear Editor: You have repeatedly written this year about the improvements made at WCU. You seem to take a great deal of pride in our school. However, have you eaten in the cafeteria lately? Several weeks ago you gave the cafeteria staff the coveted Cullowhee Normal and Industrial School Certificate of Merit. You cited that ice cost an extra nickel and students were only aUowed one bowl of soup. I am sure most students and administrators got a chuckle with your humor. However, the situation is not funny. I have to eat at noon every day and rush to class. It burns me up to go through all of the chaos and confusion which surrounds our full cafeterias. It is a shame that such stupid measures are implemented. If you really want to report on something then discuss such ridiculous practices in the cafe- ' terias. You might also want to comment on the recent registration and parking problems. A Disgusted Student (EDITOR'S NOTE: Thank you for your kind letter. You might be interested in today's editorial. Keep those cards and letters coming in, folks.) X Letters to the Editor Box #317 Cullowhee
