  • THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN November 5,1970 5 The Cat's Paw By THE INIMITABLE PA W iHOtn The Bt/wiE NOW ion CANT UlL -,MM6 FRtSHMfA/ ,^om mt uppb£ afitsMtw Early yesterday morning, the Paw awoke, tucked away under a thin sheet, in a frigid bed room. After hurriedly dressing, he walked stiffly to his car and tried to start it, Sud denly he remembered the antifreeze he had been meaning to put in—and never had. He gathered up his books and began a frosty and lonely walk to his 8:00 class. It was a rather soul-searching walk for him. The initial anger of his forgetfulness subsided after he had proceeded a quarter of a mile. It was at that point several fleeting thoughts crossed his concerned mind, among them beings Hello again, dear readers. I hope you all had a most delightful Homecoming. If I may take a moment to be serious, that's just what I'd like to do. It seems that over the past few articles written by the Paw, there have been several and certain words of the well-known four-letter variety which escaped the censor's cropping scissors and were printed. This, I must admit .Is of my own intention. But, readers, these words were not written to offend or to signify or reflect in any way the Paw's limited intellect or vocabulary. Really, it seems that nowadays, however, the standard jargon of every ( or NEARLY every) college and university student contains quite an Impressive (if I may use that term loosely) array of these four-letter, blue, lewd, bawdy, immoral, or whatever terms. And since this here paper is known, quite frankly, as "The Voice of the Students," and whereas, in an attempt to keep up with the times and talk the way most people here and now (as opposed to then and there) talk, the Paw merely used these words as objects of communication. There was no spite intended. I did not mean to shock my dear readers, nor did I use said words merely for the sake of being obscene (and not heard). They were only used as words. If I have offended, in any way, any of my readers through the use of such language, I humbly apologize. No shit Now to get down to the business at hand. Here it is, the week after Homecoming. The old campus looked mighty nice for a while there, with napkins and such floating through the chilly air. I dunno. There was something missing this year. I suppose (yawn) everybody maybe just (yawn) lost,.. er...ah... interest, or whatever. Ah well. Have another drink, sport, I suppose this weekend will be just like the last, except with much fewer people. Have you ever walked around campus late Friday afternoon? There's more excitement up in the graveyard, more thrills on the Library's bathroom walls, and more action over the Kampus Kop Kar radios. Have you ever tried Foosball? Best thing to hit campus since panty raids, a real panty raid is one in which the underwear marauders actually ENTER the girls' dorm and make their catches. Heh, Heh. I guess that sort of spirit went out with frolicsome homecomings and beer in Jackson County. Incidently, if any of you readers feel that you have a gripe you would like to have aired—rather satirically at that—just get in touch with your friendly neighborhood Paw c/o this here paper. I depend on folks like you to keep things going. Ah, Father Time tugs at my ear lobes. So until next rime, friends, unless Mr. Davis has another attack of critical gas, I remain, respectfully (at times), T.P. GRAFFITTI OF THE WEEK: Down with Saturn. Up Uranus. NEXT WEEK: Mr. Natural and the Space. Chick battle it out beyond the Cosmos. Issues and Answers The elections are over now and the statisticians will soon begin their vigil to try and figure them out. This was truly an interesting off-year election period: The President and Vice-President campaigning throughout the United States thrilling the hearts of many, chilling the hearts of some; republicans shouting for "Law and order;" Democrats yelling "Where have all the jobs gone?" The cry from the Right, for "Law and Order," seemed to be less relevant to the people than the concern for the Economy expressed by the Left. This is shown by the disregard to the whims of national poll- ticos entering local territory. These politicos, namely the President and Vice-President, had staked out the nation in an attempt to brush out the Democrats (plus Charles Goo- dell Republican Senator of New York) and sweep in the Republicans or conservative comrades. They flew from state to state with rhetoric that could turn almost any man's head. I did say almost. The Democrats were not moved by this dramatic executive play. They felt the people would consider their pocket books and job losses far before they would con- By Peyton H*ms sider crime in the streets. The Democrats were right, President Nixon and Vice-President Agnew succeeded in only a few states where they had planned a sixteen-state sweep. Does this mean that the nation voted against the President and Vice-President? No, not at all. It was just the nation's way of showing the executive brance that they would not be told how to vote. It was the nation's way of saying "we are disgusted with the rise in unemployment," It was the nation's way of saying "with these, our representatives, we expect a change in the status quo." Will the President listen to these statements? Yes, he most assuredly will. I predict that Mr. Nixon will take all of these factors into consideration and put them to good use in 1972. Remember that the Democrats are still looking for an attractive candidate, and may have to settle with atmediocre one. Let's hope not. Speaking of Democratic Presidential hopefuls: look out for senator-elect John Tunney of California. He exemplifys all presidential qualifications. I will close with this quote, "Cowards die many deaths. The valiant die but one. Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: Yesterday evening I went to the record department at our renowned university library and discovered, to my astonishment, that I could not check out a classical record unless I was a member of the faculty. I then walked up to the front desk for further verification of this intelligent policy and once more I was told that a student could only check out the records which had an "X" marked on the outside of the record jacket, I looked through the "X" records and decided I was not up for Bambi Talks To The Lumberjacks In Concert or The Electric Gastric Manic-Depressive Thrill Band and so I left the library very disappointed to say the least. The Classical Record Policy at Hunter Library discriminates against those students who are in need of these particular facilities. Furthermore, the faculty should not be the only entity in the academic community to have access to these records outside the confines of the building. Signed in Disgust, Mary 0. Vargo, Student Dear Editor: A great big thanks from all of us at the M & O Dept, at WCU for your help in cleaning up our campus and road sides on Friday, 10-30-70 for Homecoming. Mr. Roland B. Newhouse Director of Physical Plant, WCU and Mr. Jack Hensan Assistant Maintenance Supervisor, WCU Dear Editor: Mornings after elections are times for tears and cheers, regrets for stones left unturned, and perhaps, for warnings for the future. Vice President Agnew has labeledhis party's efforts as a "bittersweet victory". This term may be especially relevant to many four-year Cullowhee residents. Senator Gore from Tennessee wiU be remembered for two major contributions, efforts on behalf of the working class, and efforts to extricate the United States from Southeast Asia. Both apply to students from Western Carolina University. Whether you joined the administration's targeting of the Gore seat, stood by numb in apathy, or joined the Knoxville caravan, tender a vote of thanks to Senator Gore. It is curious that during the moratoriums the vociferous few that turned out to scream "war" and "kill" and harass the peaceful demonstrations almost inevitably were also claiming student deferments from the draft. It is also curious that many of those elated with the success of the President's "remove Gore" efforts are scarcely scions of our affluent society. If your travel plans after leaving Western are elsewhere than to Vietnam, and if your economic aspirations depend upon being considered as a college graduate, grant some credit to The Man from Tennessee. Thanks to his efforts, you may succeed,. Sincerely, Andrew Bants ENUFBENUF Moonshine afficionados had better take it easy with the illegal whiskey according to Federal agents wh o have seized quantities of the beverage recently and found it to contain dangerous levels of mercury. The revenuers don't know how the mercury gets into the moonshine but speculate it could be from auto radiators sometimes used to distill the whiskey, or possibly from polluted streams. "One drink, probably wouldn't kill you," said Nashville Metropolitan Health Director Joseph Bia- towish, "but over a period of time it will."
