The Cat's Pow By The Inimitable Paw As another Winter Quarter draws to a close, the Paw looks back on it with hope and springtime desires. And while on the subject of spring, let's all hope the new business building will withstand the rains and ensuing quagmire which will surround it. Wouldn't you like to see a mall constructed with benches and nice little things like that to sit and enjoy the sunshine on? Doesn't that appeal to some of you more than sitting on 'the wall" like a bunch of jocks and having people dodge your tobacco juice? Well, I didn't really think so. And speaking of not thinking, here's a special section for the people who observed the Clyde Appleton March with contempt and disgust: See the print. Read the print. Think about the print, We hope you can read print. But if you can't read print, what are you doing in college? Yes, dear readers (assuming that most of you DO read with minimum comprehension), while the peaceful little parade was taking place in front of the Bird Cage, the wall- watchers were out in force across the street commenting on the activities, with such little witties as "Let's get some eggs and show those Commies they can't take over our campus" and "This place would be better without all that garbage on the hill." Believe it or not, "concerned" students actually came forth with these brilliant remarks. Get with it, goofballs! If you could read, you would know that Mr. Appleton and his followers were merely protesting the administrative unfairness in his refusal of tenure (1 doubt if you know that word) etc., NOT the overthrow of the righteousness and beauty of the American Way. Even one staunch citizen of Cullowhee was seen to march with the group. If you would look, not even closely, you would see how the administration is shafting YOU every time you turn around. Wake ud. then think on it. NEWS FLASH OF THE WEEK; the eclipse of the sun which nicked Cullowhee and brought darkened skies. For a second, did you .find yourself wishing you could take back that last sacreligious joke you told at the party the night before? Apparently no one offen ded the Sun God seriously, so life was allowed to continue as usual. Hmmm. Maybe it would have been better , , , , And speaking of getting bet ter, have you men noticed the lack of doors on bathroom stalls in McKee? If YOU haven't noticed, someone else HAS, rest assured , . . . Another Springtime thought, Along with nice weather comes heat. And where is one of the hottest spots (not socially, but literally) on campus? Right! In that bastion of learning and understanding—the library. On any given day, a person could fry an egg on a copy of HUCKLEBERRY FINN, or roast mar- shmellows over an ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA, or even observe a girl's garter stays melt on the ground floor mezzanine. The fans help to circulate the already stale and humid air to every corner of the building. Someone must have taken Dante's INFERNO too seriously. And speaking of seriously, as I now speak to you, dear readers, do pass all your final exams and have a Happy Easter, and return safely to feel the Paw's claws again. See you in Miami. PAW PRINCIPLE: Some courses are like sores— they hurt all quarter and finally come to a head, and after it's all over, there's nothing left but a scar. Think on it. GRAFITT1 OF THE WEEK: I want to be different— like everybody else. NEXT QUARTER: Mr. Natural's brother, Parson Plain, is charged with blasphemy for eating devil's food cake. Ragnar By The Raving Ragnar Music Professor Clyde Appleton led a protest march Tuesday and Wednesday in front of Bird Administration Building this week. Many of you undoubtedly saw the picket-line, aid more than a few of you joined in the marching, singing, and rapping. Still others of you sat across the street from the Bird Be-in, holding daffodils and being sympathetic to the cause, but refraining from actual participation because of personal reasons or fear of reprisal. This obvious fear of the Administration by the Students is a sad indication of the ragard n which American Constitutional Freedoms are held locally. But more on that later. The Clyde Appleton thing is only the tip of the Cullowhee Iceberg: more problems of even greater magnitude exist on this campus, Among them, the chief problem seems to be the absolute breakdown of any real communication between the concerned students and the un«- concerned Administration. Sure, the CAROLINIAN has been quite successful lately in identifying local problems such as poor ambulance service, poor safety conditions on local roads, and potholes, Andthe Administration has moved quickly to alleviate these physical problems. But the only problems solved recently have had to do with the body of WCU, The problems dealing with the University's Soul have simply been ignored. For weeks the CAROLINIAN and its readers have discussed problems dealing largely with local morality, ethics, and academic freedom ■ problems such as the seeming disregard foi basic Constitutional Rights within the Physical Education Department by a few self-styled decency freaks; problems such as the cruel and unusual firing of six English instructors, instructors eminently more qualified to teach English than several of the presently "tenured" people on the staff; problems such as the invasion of privacy ( again a Constitutional question) by persons deemed "authorized", involving illegal disclosure of confidential information in students' personal filed - with this particular in mind I suggest that vou read your Student Handbook,page44, the section of the Administrative Bill of Rights dealing with disclosure of student records, CULLOWHEE NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL CERTIFICATE OF MERIT Presented To Sfie Magnificent 27 whereas the STUDENT SENATORS have all displayed the fervor and exurbarance, not to mention the willingness, to perform their highly elevated and complicated tasks; whereas 27 of the 34 Senators are patting themselves on the back for being among the 7 workers in the Student Senate, and; whereas the aforementioned 27 Senators have declared themselves "Monkeys of the Year," the Certificate of Merit is awarded, this the twelfth day of March, In The Year of Our Lord nineteen hundred and seventy. etc; and the problem of a seeming purge from the faculty (not limited to the English and Music depts,, to be sure) of any teachers who happed to be young, liberal, and capable. Problems such as these involve basic morality, ethics, and academic freedom, the Soul of any University. And the Soul of Wes tern Carolina University is de ■ finitely sick, Putting Body and Soul together in a healthy Ad ministration, presently non-existent, and a strong and healthy Student Body. At present the great majority of the students (the "silent-majority") are disturbed by the unheal- thiness of the school, but their concern for WCU is effectively silenced by their actual fear of reprisal should they dare to exercise their Constitutional Rights, Many students on scholarship (including the athletes and the Blacks) were forced to compromise their integrity by signing their "contracts" or "scholarships," Thus, theAd- ministration has bought their silence, and an unwritten but well-understood threat of economic reprisal has effectively silenced these students. Politically speaking, such a policy is sound, I suppose. But I am not so sure that the end result will be healthy for Society. If a man can be so easily bought at age eighteen, how will this affect his moral code? I think the answer to this question is obvious. And rather frightening, too. So I ask for a complete examination of the University's Soul, so that WCU can become a real University at last, seeking knowledge and truth In conditions fo unchallenged academic freedom. To be quite blunt, if the Administration continues to ignore the Students in their search for truth and honesty, then student frustration will give way to student trouble. ihe cards are on the table; may God help WCU see them. Right on! Ragnar. Response to editorial by student senator By STEVE GHEEN EDITOR'S NOTE: What follows is a newsletter circulated by Student Senator Steve Gheen to his constituents in Reynolds Dormitory) The editorial in the WESTERN CAROLINIAN yesterday was a savage attack on the Student Senate. Mr, Whitten, editor, expressed what he felt the Senate did and did not do. I would like to take this oppor- tunity to expound on some of Mr, Whitten*s points and try to clarify them. The example that Mr, Whitten gave of the two Senators who investigated the cafeteria system was true, This oc- cured at Mid Session. Mr. Richard Goodman and Miss Carolyn Mundhenke stated that since Mr. Mitchell thought the food was good so did they. At best this WAS NOT an excep- table answer. Mr, Whitten's statement on the seven hardworkingSenators is also true. There are those who I have never seen in the Senate offices except at regular Senate meetings. There are those who attend their committee meetings and do some work. But I pose this question—is there progress in just attending meetings. I feel that concrete progress comes only when these people discuss matters openly and investigate throughly. In many cases, like the cafeteria, this has not been done. The Senate this year has not been a leader but a follower. Most of the Important legislation has been a direct result of recommendations from Mr. Henning and the executive staff. There is a desperate need for a reorganization of the Senate and its procedures. I feel that all legislation should be accompanied by a written report in which the investigation and research has been outlined carefully. Then the proposed legislation should be sent to a standing committee for investigation into the matter and the committees findings. In this way Senators can be fully informed of the situation before them. The executive officer should act as an enforcer of legislation that has passed the Senate. This would allow one body to legislate and one to enforce— the result would be that more legislation could be put into effect, A new and totally different type of judicial system is needed. These changes are now being planned, but we need your support. In the near future Student Government will have to begin to pay its top officials. Since most active officials' grades drop, there needs to be some type of incentive—and it should have the effect of attracting better officers, I feel that this would lead to a betterment of the existing situation, but would not completely eradicate it, YOU the voter must take the final responsibility for the progress of the Senate and the entire Student Government YOUR votes will decide those who will lead or follow. Much too often I have seen students elected to the Senate that should not have been—but it is your choice, your government, and your school. I believe it is time that we left the popularity and goodlooking campaigns at the High School level. There are definite issues before you— you must look at them. If the student voters continue CONTINUED Page 6. . .. The Western Carolinian Vol. XXXV No. 35 Thursday, March 12,1970 Cullowhee, M.C EDITORIAL COMMENT PAGES 4 4 5
