  • EDITOR I A L 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 adrr-uv'stration, the news(ai or staff, or the student body. Will aiiThe REAiiy HARDUJORkiN^SEfWSJ DEDiCATED STUDENT SENATORS PLEASE- STANO [I X ^^fHlruT Had Eyggyflflpy you CftM AU SIT BACK &0WN /I Let's shorten time lag A university in a small town creates demands in the surrounding community for many services and commercial facilities which the other segments of the population could not otherwise support, The availability of these goods and services in addition to cultural and entertainment attractions afforded by the university itself, serve especially to enhance the small-town environment The sum of these attractions draw as residents both families with soon- to-be college age children as well as others who, retired or semi-retired, seek pleasant surroundings in which to live. Such people as these add still further to the demands. A rapid growing university such as Western finds itself as having exceeded the supply of goods and services. The time-lag between demand and fulfillment may cause some retarding in its growth when compared to the potential. Many of the best student candidates are quite discerning in their selection of a university; however, the greatest encumbrance caused by the lack of non-university supplied facilities comes in faculty recruiting. The lack of goods and services in the immediate area tends to discourage some of the best qualified faculty personnel who have been accustomed to amenities of urban living. The astronomic growth of Western Carolina University has caused far more than the usual impact on a community. While Cullowhee and Sylva have come a long way in meeting the mounting demands, these communities had further to go than many college communities. Less than a decade ago, shops and their stocks were existant, reflected a backwoods village concept, This was not due entirely to the population not directly associated with the college but the students and faculty made few demands on the community. Students as a whole accepted the status quo and the faculty remained in a state of economic and environmental limbo. The demands on the local economy still reflected an attitude warped by the depression of the 1930's. Today, by comparison, a decade ago appears as ancient history around the Western Carolina community. Both students and faculty are not only more affluent but more sophisticated. They have demanded and in many instances received, a wider variety in goods and services from the local community. Of course, Cullowhee and Sylva now provide far more than a decade ago. The most discriminating shopper can for the most part, satisfy his needs. Hostelries and especially off-campus dining accommodations have exceeded the dreams of a few years ago. Banking facilities, which provide the greatest mirror for showing area growth, have multiplied five fold in the last ten years. But the sophisticated tastes of the university community demand still more and will continue to do so. If Cullowhee and Sylva have made great strides in meeting the requirements, they still have far to go. Shops lack a variety from which to select, There is still a paucity of off-campus amusement and entertainment, Visiting parents require more and better off-campus facilities. The area should be a center for winter sports but here these facilities are noticable only by their absence. Let's hope the time-lag will shorten. " I WILL BE AS HAilSH AS TRUTH AND AS UNCOMPROMISING AS JUSTICE. . . . WITH REASONABLE MEN, I WILL REASON: WITH HUMANE MEN I WILL PLEAD NOR (WILL I) WASTE ARGUMENTS WHERE THEY WILL CERTAINLY BE LOST." Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: Wednesday morning at ten o'clock I finished a P.E. class and proceeded to exit the building, my long hair flying in the breeze. Once outside the building I was stopped by Col. Williams, the school athletic director. He asked me whether or not I was ever in the Marines. When I replied in the negative, he proceeded to take off two Marine insignias that were on the lapels of my jacket. While he was touching my body (without permission) the air was filled with insulting, slanderous, and obscene remarks made against me. They came from Col. Williams' mouth. Who does Col. Williams think he is? I did not provoke him at all. Not one foul word exited from my mouth. And yet here is a university official who takes it upon himself to play God with me. I was alarmed, assaulted, and my in signias were stolen. As of yet, my insignias have not been returned. It appears as though the administration condones Col. Williams' theft because I have personally seen the insignias on a dean's desk. Whan I requested them, I was refused. Students, it happened to me, it can happen to you. This redneck college will come of .age. An age when the administration will respect the faculty, and when the faculty, will keep their calloused hands off of the students. Accosted for wearing Marine insignias? Slandered by an official? I demand justice. Jeff Fox Dear Editor: Today I heard that a student here at WCU had been confronted by Col. W. L. Williams, Athletic Director, and was reprimanded for wearing two U.S. Marine Emblems, In fact this student, Jeff Fox, stated that Col. Williams took these em- - - WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON The Western Carolinian Published twice weekly throughout the academic year, including summer, by the students of Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, North Carolina, Member: I.

As a son of a Marine Colonel and as a Marine Officer Candidate, let me set you straight, Mr. Fox! Col. Williams did exactly what any other Marine would have done. In fact, he did you a favor. Evidently you are unaware of the fact that it is against the law for civilian personnel to wear the insignia of any of the United States Armed Forces. There- tors, you might have been prosecuted for blaten* violation of said laws had the Colonel not relieved you of the emblems. I imagine you'll think twice before wearing Marine emblems again. Thank you, Peyton Harris Dear Editor: I feel that most students get a bad deal on "movie night" We pay our 25<! anticipating a quiet enjoyable night at the movies and what happenes, a bunch of immature brats spoil it. Starting with the name of the female star of the flick they make noise until the last view of the female form is shown. I feel that something oughttobe done about this., I see now why films for mature audiences are hardly shown and when they are they are cut to cater to the 18 year olds with the mental age of 2 years old. At most theatres a crew of ushers are hired with among other duties to see that movie goers enjoy a restful time by getting rid of persons who deprive others of their right for peace. I wouldn't advocate a harsh punishment as arresting the "kiddies" for distrubing the peace but how about, hiring someone to throw the bums out when they hinder the 99 * « the students right to enjoy a movie. Finally, how about some more recent movies? Warner Bros.- Seven Arts unveilled a special college pak last week. Movies included are: Bonnie & Clyde, Last Summer, Midnight Cowboy, 2001 and Rachel Rachel, to name a few. Peacefully yours, Captain America
