  • I PAGE 4 October 8, 1970 Editorial Comment THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Editorials are from the Editor's desk unless otherwise indicated by toe author's initials. Opinions expressed by toe columnists do not necessarily reflect those of the newspaper. Address correspondence to P. O. Box 66, Cullowhee, N. C. 28723. Our hidden heritage What heritage has Cullowhee? The question evokes blank looks, shrugged shoulders and perhaps a vague mention of Indians - no more. But there is more. Cullowhee wasn't always a University Community with square bricked buildings and angular concrete sidewalks. All that we see, with the exception of the mountains and streams, is recent, Very recent, Even the Cherokee culture, which thrived in the Cullowhee area until one hundred years ago, grows young when artifacts discovered along the Tuckaseigee are dated 8,000 years old. True, traces of these early inhabitants are few and far between, but they are being collected, In the halls of McKee Classroom Building mere are several display cases containing valuable relics and artifacts from the Cullowhee area as well as the whole of western North Carolina. They have been there for years and thousands of students have .passed by them without knowing what they contain. A small minority of students and faculty benefit from this collection as it is now displayed. Western Carolina University is dedicated to the region it serves. A great service to the region could be made by displaying this collection in a more fitting place. There are a great number of regional residents who never enter McKee. The relics and artifacts there actually belong more to these people than to the students. They should be displayed with this in mind. Our collection will grow. There is an expanding interest in Anthropology in this area of North Carolina. In a few years, hopefully less, there will be a Department of Anthropology at WCU. We need a room, or rooms, set aside to be used as a museum. A regional museum. A museum of western North Carolina, so that the people of western North Carolina may better understand from whence they came. Progress is the history of war , not peace. - K.

Gul iowke 3)A5H ST ROLLINGS Greeks-yes, no By W. Wat Hopkins It's rush week. All Greek colors are flying as high this week as they can possibly fly. And seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen with 12 or more quarter hours are eating up all the attention they're getting. NOW is the time for first- quarter to observe the Greeks. Now and all through the quarter, before they have the opportunity to go through rush themselves. Observe all the fraternities now, whUe their best feet are foreward. Greeks should not be stereotyped. There Is a Greek fraternity at Western Carolina University that everybody could fit into. I said could. Everyone can BE a Greek. The Greek system is not right for everyone,though. Some are of the belief that everybody who is anybody could be a Greek. This is true. Being a Greek, though, doesn't make a "somebody" out of a person, nor does not being a Greek make a "nobody" out of a person with strong character, and convictions. The Greek system, that is, becoming a Greek is strictly a personal move. Manypeople, many more that the non-Greek world can imagine, are helped tremendously by pledging a fraternity; helped in becoming a part of a group where he is accepted, helped In feeling like he is important, helped in his education, both from books and from experience. Other Greeks are not helped by the fraternity, but help the fraternity; help its public Image, help its growth, and help in helping others. Overall, the Greek system in misunderstood by those who are, as Greeks are stereotyped as "fraters," are stereotyped as "independents." Greeks are not all drunks, or snobs or heU-raisers, as independents are not all greasers. To become a Greek as a means of gaining status, is a mistake. Not to become a Greek to avoid being classified as not being an "individual" is amis- take. The Greek system at Western Carolina is probably one of toe best on any campuses because of toe wide cross-section , the lack of friction between fraternities, and the purpose the fraternities serve socially. Freshmen should not decide. They should survey the fraternities, then finding one to their liking, if they do, decide to pledge. S 1 S j The Storm's Eye j Sf DtBin S. Schickel • 'THERE IS NO MORAL ARITHMETIC TO CANCEL OUT THE CRIME OF MURDER." -- I. F. Stone No one may ever know what reaUy happened ... at Kent State . . . Franklin ... or anywhere else for that matter. But we do have the Special Report on Kent State from the President's Commission on Campus Unrest. What about the National Guard? The report stated that they shouldn't have been issued loaded weapons, shouldn't have tried to disperse a peaceful demonstration, and should not have fired the weapons. What about the alleged sniper? The report stated that there was no evidence found on a sniper attack on the guardsmen. Thus, maybe no reason to fire . .. Furthermore, even though some of the actions by demon= straters present at Kent State were criminal - the indiscrim inate firing by the National Guard was found, by the Commission, to be unnecessary, unwarranted, and in= excusable. The 'danger' that faced the Guard did not call for such force. And, most important, what about the demonstrators? and the people who were going to class, and others just passing through or watching .. . Were. they ready for the National Guard? Lieut, Alexander Stey= enson - platoon leader - made the following statement describing the atmosphere: "At the time of the firing the crowd was acting like this whole thing was a circus. The crowd must have thought that the National Guard was harmless. They were having tun with the Guard. The circus was in town." think about the feeling . • • the ending... ....
