  • 4 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN October 29, 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. 0. Box 66, Cullowhee, N. C. 28723. Drunks leave impression As a result of the efforts of the Homecoming Committee of the Student Government Association and the University Center Board, Homecoming this Saturday has the potential for being one of the most successful Homecomings in the history of Western Carolina University. Parents wUl be arriving to see the leaves, enjoy a footbaU game and visit the campus. Governor Bob Scott, his wife and mother wUl be here to participate in the dedication of the Mary White Scott Residence Hall and visit the campus also. And, of course, many alumni and friends of the University wUl be present Spirits wUl be running high. In such an event as Homecoming, visitors are able to withstand many hardships. They can contend with long lines, large crowds and heavy traffic and still be happy. They can eat cold hot dogs, bo jarred and spUl cokes, be short changed and find out too late, and they will shrug it off as bad luck. They can even watch their football team lose, if it comes to that, and stiU wUl enjoy the week-end. There is one thing that can ruin a day for a visitor, though, faster than anything else. Any person who credits himself with any sense of understanding discipline, consideration and etiquette finds few scenes more revolting than that caused by a public drunk. Unfortunately, this year Western Carolina has had more than its share of revolting scenes at football ipmes. If the drunkards would be satisfied with merely keeping to themselves during the games, the incidents would not occur. They do not, though. They continuously spout obscentiies that offend those around them. It seems that those who drink to excess might maiiapa to do one of two things. They could either control their drinking or control the display of the result of their drinking untU those who are more couth are not in the immediate vicinity. At an event such a s a football game students though they may not realize it, make an impression on those outside the university community. The impression is a lasting one and very easily could hurt the athletic program as well as the university as a whole. Homecoming Day this year will provide students in the university with an excellent chance to begin to improve upon the public relations. Public relations the students release, whether good or bad, is more influencial than anything I>oug Reed in the Public Information Office or the WESTERN CAROLINIAN could write. W. W. H. Crass is for enjoyment Sometimes it almost seems as if there are two kinds of people in the world - those who erect "keep off the grass" signs and tioss who dis • regard "keep off the grass" signs. We choose to be in the latter group where such signs are considered obscene. Earlier this month, a notice was sent to some Residence HaU Directors by Bob Dawson, assistant dean of men. It stated that since Mr. Jim Kirkpatrick, WCU Business Manager, had said playing football on the lawns of the Residence HaUs was damaging to the grass, students should be requested not to use the lawns for sports such as football. The note also asked that offenders should be reported to the Dean of Men. The students that live in Residence Halls are confined t o a smaU room, part of which they can almost caU their own. The Residence Hall is their home at WCU and the fine grass around them should be their lawn. It may well be damaging to the grass when students play games such as football, but it is even more damaging to WCU to forbid students the right to use what should be theirs already. An empty Residence HaU lawn is depressing. There are only a couple of "keep of the grass" signs on WCU's campus. They should be discarded so people wUl tow that grass is to be enjoyed. Walk on it, sit on it, run on it, and turn cartwheels on it Grass is much nicer than concrete and asphalt FRANKLYSPEAWNG f/j/^gN] *"Phil *«■* f z g g t X3 $ ' its a New axi^e-^AFun 2.0s) r*K STROLLINGS Oogoocoo, Etc. By W. Wat Hopkins The first CATAMOUNT was published by the senior class of the Cullowhee Normal and Industrial School In 1918. It was a small book, probably about seven or eight inches tall and five or six inches wide, and it had about 50 or 75 pages. It contained the pictures of the four classes, picture of the faculty, picture of the President, pictures of the athletic teams and clubs, and several other pictures of events that happened through the year. It also had an editorial, class poem, last wUl and testament and various other articles. The second CATAMOUNT, a year later was much the same, except that it had grown some in size and length. The best thing about these first yearbooks, though, was that they were not called CATAMOUNT. They had a name that was much more fitting to the Cullowhee area. The name was OOGOOCOO pronounced with the accent on the middle syllable). Oogoocoo in Cherokee means "owl." The yearbook , then, the book that held the memories of the year, was named for a bird that was noted for its wisdom in folklore. It seems that this name, especially since it is in Cherokee, is much more fitting for the yearbook than a name that denotes athletics, as CATAMOUNT does. You think of a catamount and you think of a vicious wildcat, ready to tear its opponents to pieces. Think of an oogoocoo, though. What more need to be said?

What followed wasn't a mistake — it had to be planned. In less than ten minutes the Stroller met a hunchback, a mummy, a lady in a graveyard, a murderer and his victim, a goon in a haunted houss, and numerous other shady characters. He was also pushed, pulled, grabbed, threatened, slugged, insulted and propositioned (not necessarily in that order, and not necessarily by UCB members working in the Fun House).
