  • 2 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN November 3,1970 Editorial Comment THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Editorials are from the Editor's desk unless otherwise indicated by the author's initials. Opinions expressed by the columnists do not necessarily reflect those of the newspaper. Address correspondence to P. O. Box 66, Cullowhee, N. C. 28723. £} FRANKLY SPEAKING ky Phil frank Student service is noted Homecoming day, and the week of Fall Festival which preceeded it, went off without a hitch. It didnt just happen that way. More than a month filled with long committee meetings and planning sessions supported by scores of students and non' students made the smoothness of the week's activities seem naturaL A great deal of the credit for the success of last week goes to three students who were appointed to key positions for the planning of activities. John Conrad, student senator, served as chairman of the Fall Festival Co-ordinating Committee, the committee responsible for Monday through Friday of last week. Jane Queen, women's house government president, chaired the committee responsible for the Scott Residence Hall dedication. She was the first student ever appointed to chair a committee which dealt with political figures. Dan Austell, vice-president of men's house government, co-chaired the homecoming day committee which was responsible for co-ordinating that day's activities. More students than these, of course, contributed toward the success of last week, and we're not trying to play down the role of nonstudents. But we do think that the contributions of these students deserve mention. Their fine service to the University is a credit to students and should weigh heavily when the time comes for more designation of responsibilities. Alumni are self-supporting The Western Carolina University AlumniAssocia- tion is standing on its own feet and is doing a good job of it. Last year the students voted to halt the appropriation of student fees to support the Alumni Office. So that office had to begin a program of obtaining its own funds. The money It uses is for the maintainance of its office, which is continuously mailing correspondence to the 7,138 alumni on the mailing list. Money is also needed to publish the WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE which comes out quarterly and costs $3,000 per issue to publish. When students took away their money, the Alumni Office merely shifted into high gear, and while keeping on schedule with its regular correspondence began frantically sending requests to alumni for support. Since June approximately five letters have been sent to all alumni asking for contributions. There are now alumni chapters in 12 counties in North Carolina, as well as a chapter in Washington, D.C., and one on Charleston, S.C. By the end of the year the office hopes to increase the number of chapters to thirty. With this number, and more chapters being created, there should be little trouble in the support of the office. Presently, though, the Alumni Office is struggling to gain a foothold, financially, before the end of May when the student money stops. At the same time, L.D. Hyde and his staff are continuing to keep the alumni well informed of activities and events at Western Carolina. _ _ W.W.H.

With these elections we can expect the SGA to shift into "high gear," It promises to be the most exciting year ever. Recent elections indicate that the Student, Body is finally beginning to take Student Government seriously. In Men's, Women's, 'and Day Student elections over 1500 voted. The most ever. With voting in individual dorms we can expect a large turn out next week. WUl you vote? If you do you become the literal "back- Done" of the SGA0 Any Stud- ent Government that has the support of the vast majority of students is best able to bring student desires to actuality.. It is the only way, and it works. We all know of apathy. By being apathetic you arenotneu« tral but a negative force on the SGA. There are no inbetweensB either positive or negative. And no one thinks of themselves as negative. So, VOTE! Who wUl you elect? Voting here as anywhere is an intel- lectual exercise. Find those candidates who are run ning on a platform. Vote on what a candidate stands for, not his popularity. There are issues, force the candidate to speak on them. Make pop- ularity a thing of the past. And once your candidate is elected keep informed. Above aU keep him informed on how you feel. Ask your Senator to keep you informed on the issues, by buUetins or personal group discussion.
