  • The Western Carolinian Published twice weekly throughout the academic year, including summer, by the students of Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, North Carolina, Member: I. S. Student Press Association, Collegiate Press Service, Carolina's Press Association, and Intercollegiate Press Service. EDITOR IN CHJEF. . DAVID ROCK WHITTEN BUSINESS MANAGER. FRED GLENN C AUSBY MANAGING EDITOR W. WAT HOPKINS News Editor Collier Smith Happiness is sharing a pint with others The American Red Cross Bloodmobile will be on campus April 27, 28, and 29, from 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. It will be located In the Blue Rx>m of the A. K. Hinds University Center. This project is being sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity. Giving blood is an excellent way to contribute to the welfare of humanity. At this time, B-positive donors are needed desperately. Last year, 31 pints of B-positive blood were donated at WCU. The Bloodmobile needs those 31 pints and more this year. B-posltive donors are asked to come to the Blood mobile between the hours of eleven o'clock and one o'clock. If you do not know your blood type, donating next week wiU be a good opportunity to find out, It is a most important safety measure in case of an accident, There are several other good reasons why everyone on campus should donate blood. During the preliminary examination, your blood will be tested for iron deficiencies and your blood pressure will be taken. Are you sure you don't have iron-poor blood or diseased corpuscles? Come to the Bloodmobile and find out. When you donate a pint of blood, you will be given a card which entitles you to free blood for the next full year, if needed. Eight pints given periodically will entitle all of your immediate family to free blood for the rest of their lives. Non-donors pay for blood transfusions. As if these reasons were not enough, Asheville- Biltmore College, alias UNC-A, has formally challenged our student body, faculty and staff to a "Best Percentage of Students Giving Blood" battle. Also, free tickets to a free movie will be given to donors. These tickets will entitle donors to view a flick at the Ritz Theater In Sylva, or to a movie to be shown in Hoey on Saturday, May 2, There is an excellent chance that you may see yourself on television if you donate, because WLOS-TV, in Asheville, and a news service in Waynesville will cover the bloodmobile visit, If that won't get you there, THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN will be on hand to snap a few photos. You say you don't want to be caught writhing in pain? About 30 per cent of the blood donors at WCU are girls. The percentage keeps increasing, too, because once they find out that it isn't at all painful, girls come back again to donate. One day, female donors on this campus may outnumber male donors. Does this speak well of the men at WCU? Your personal pride, school spirit, and concern for humanity are being challenged. Donate. YOU may need a pint of blood someday. We're polluted A disease has infected our country. It has brought smog to Yosemite and the Blue Ridge Mountains. It has killed Lake Erie, crippled major rivers and dumped 'soap suds' into the Tuckaseigee. It has put DDT in our food and bodies and has left our cities in decay. Its sole carrier is man. The weak and already dying trees by the Pacific; fish in our streams and lakes; birds and crops; and sheep. And people. Southwestern North Carolina is not protected by its remoteness. Man has brought pollution to Canton, to Sylva, and even to Cullowhee. The air around Canton stinks! U. S. Plywood- Champion Papers has desecrated the air and water in that area. Often, the air in Sylva stinks. Mead Corporation is responsible for the filthy air and the black sudsy stream that empties Into the Tuckaseigee at Dillsboro. Cullowhee is lucky. Only an occasional strong wind brings a bad smell into our valley. But we, as carriers of pollution, do our small part even here. The Cullowhee dump can be seen from Highway 107. From a distance, it is a dirty scab on a green mountainside. The flies and rats are sickening. Rusting car bodies line the roads in our area. Beer cans, throw-away bottles, and other waste materials are scattered and heaped under nearly every tree. We must become aware of the disease before we can begin to fight it. We must be concerned with our own back yard first, The month of Mav has been declared Clean-Up month by the Jackson County Beautification Committee. This is a chance for a beginning. Cullowhee is not immune to pollution. It is already here and it is each individual's responsibility to himself and to his fellow man to FIGHT IT. HELP! The Cat's Paw By The Inimitable Paw This week, dear readers, with the advent of Spring and balmy breezes ani the likes, and In keeping with the American way of letting all sides be known, I offer you the latest edition of the latest underground newspaper. Please don't get the idea that its "ideas" are those of my own, because, believe it or not, they aren't, Jjst look, then, at the type of propaganda that people are bombarded with daily, and often are misled into believing. And now, presenting: ***** THE GUARDIAN NUT Freaks, Frats, and Fools: Now don't get the idea that we are a bunch of radicals who are out to make trouble or anything of that there nature. We are just a bunch of Normal College kids who want to pre- sent the TRUTH, justice, and the American way. Everything you read wi (1 be the truth and our all-seeing eyes will relate to you an unbiased ;ind unopinlonated, highly intellectual underground paper. Repeat: We are NOT radicals. Do you understand? We are not radicals, Believe it or not!! NYAA21 Remember, this paper Is for your benefit and is only In existence for your enlightenment. Since we are not radical, we do not belong to any fraternities or sororities. Everyone in these organizations are no- good conservatives who have to belong to a group in order to survive. NYAA!! Why don't you join our staff and see the real truth, See how things really are. People in fraternities are no goods. Remember that, Tear down all the smoker signs you see. What right do those people have to belong to groups of their choice? Some of you GDI's are the same way! And the rest of you—NYAA! Apathy, apathy, apathy. Don't you like our highly literary style? And we're presenting the truth, too. You know that little old lady in the cafeteria line? She's retiring. Why one day she even had the aud . . . ad ... er . . . the nerve to ask one of our non-radical normal staff members for his meal ticket. Is that any way to run a cafeteria? rhe confusion was terrible and not only thai, it was immense. Tne poor average kid had to reach all the way back info his rear pocket, pull out his billfold, show her the ID, and reverse the procedure, At last she's retiring aid it's none too soon. Let's get the confusion out of the cafeterias. I'm sure everyone is aware of the truth now. Why she was even, I hear, normal at one time. Highly unlikely! And as for th* camous literary magazine.THE GONAD —it really stinks. I'm sure everyone who was rejected, as I was, for publication in the magazine agrees with my true statement aforementioned. Why, my kindergarten put out a better literary magazine than that, Come to think of it, I got rejected by that one, too, Oh well. Nothing but the truth. At last my sensational talent has been published. _; For more truth about The GONAD see the STUDENT HAND- BOOK. Nobody is allowed to take the course In which the publication is produced unless he is a certain major, which disqualifies him right there, How can one majoring in something like that know anything about it? Is that college work? Remember, we're trying to help you, now. Too bad if you got published. If you did, you must belong to a fraternity, because you are a no good writer, What ever happened to Wads worth and Cooledge? I wish this magazine would publish something up to par with them. Get busy out there! NYAA! And the movies stink, too. I spent my money wisely, like on paper for the "Guardian Nut" and can't afford to pay for movies. I don't ever have time to see them. See how "The Nut" is for your benefit? See, I try to get good movies for you, but I can't see them myself. And since we know the truth and know about normal colleges and like that, we know all about normal movies and how and where to get them. An informed source—third stall from the last latrine in the library base •nent bathroom--tells us that normal colleges are seeing up- to-date movies. Why can't we? NYAA!! Whoever orders those films m;jst belong to a fraternity, Why can't we see good movies like "A Day in tha Artichoke House," "My Sister the Necrophilia?," and "I Am Furious—Cello," the touching story of a mad cellist, Why can't we see thisbrandofhighlv intellectual film-that we truth seekers could appreciate? And for all you boobs who voted in the elections last week —you call yourself citizens? The truth is that anyme NORMAL would vote for absolutely no one at all, because none of the candidates are normal enough. I think I'll start a nasty little rumor about the candid dates to show them up--espec- ially the guy who won, Next time, "The N'tt" will present more truths for your enjoyment and betterment, In ensuing issues we wiU enlighten and help you with articles like "If a Student Government mem- ber votes to demonstrate, should he be required to attend the demonstration?" anil "The Campus Toilets Really Stink," WeU, readers, there It is, Be on the look out for similar publications which may be circulating and infiltrating their ways into your hands. If you get ahold of a copy, read it, inspect it, and see if it really knows what it thinks It knows. Usually knot. GRAFFITI OF THE WEEK: Readers beware—'The Guardian Nut" is full of Tuckaseigee River Water. NEXT WEEK: Mr. Natural sleeps through an entire week of classes, wakes up with a bad sunburn, gets arrested at the beach for loitering, and passes his Air Force physical.
