  • Calley controversy grows Petition and resignations result from conviction guilty, when possible toe system was guilty. "We know he is guilty," he continued. "But why is he guilty? That is what disturbed us. "I think he was guilty of an act, but not guilty of an intent," Carr Hooper of the Jackson County draft board, upon hearing the verdict of the Calley trial, turned in a letter of resignation that he had written the day before. Hooper quoted toe letter as closely as he could as saying, "I can't in good conscience be a party to toe assignment Vol., XXXVI, No. -43A* By W. WAT HOPKINS Associate Editor The controversy over toe conviction of Lt. William Calley of first degree murder has directly affected Jackson County and the area surrounding Western Carolina University. Five Sylva businessmen have circulated a petition pleading for the "miscarriage of justice" concerning Calley to be reversed. The three members of the Jackson County draft board have resigned in protest to the conviction. And a group of approximately 12 students marched from the University Center parking lot to the National Guard Armory in Webster. Bill Petterson and Charles Elders the managers of Sylva's Kentucky Fried Chicken store began organizing the petitions with the help of Jim Childress, manager of WMSJ radio, Jim Grey of the SYLVA-HERALD and Carl Stanford of the First Union National Bank. "We felt that we should do something to let the state re= presentatives and Congressman Roy Taylor know how toe majority of this county felt," Elders said. "We organized it in a hurry," he said. "We wanted to get started getting names in a hurry." Elders stated that he believed most of toe people signing the petitions knew enough about toe circumstances to intelligently sign. When asked the same question, though, Jim Childress said, "Frankly, no. There are a good number that are opposed to Calley's being tried and convicted, but don't know really the details of it," Childress, who broadcasted toe positions of toe petitions over WMSJ, said that he felt that the people were upset because an individual was found Black comedian scheduled to speak of any young man in a situation where charges could be brought against him as were brought against Lt, CaUey." He noted that the killing of "a woman" and "religious men in white robes" was a part of war. After Hooper turned in his resignation, Raymond Stovall and G.W. Revls resigned. Stovall could not be reached, but Revis, when asked if his resignation was in protest of Calley's conviction, said, "Yes and no. I had been considering resigning for some time, so when toe other two resigned, I did, too." THE SIGN-BEARERS advocated freeing William Calley, who was convicted last week of first degree murder. Approximately 12 marchers left the University Center and didn't stop until they reached toe National Guard Armory at Webster. The Western Carolinian VOICE OF THE STUDENTS Tuesday, April 6, 1971 W.C.U, Cullowhee, N.C. Need*d to 'stabilize1 blacks Black lounge requested by BSUL By STEPHANIE PHILLIPS Black Students United for Liberation have presented a proposal to SGA for a Black Lounge. The proposal is not a new one. It was first presented last year to Dr. Pow, Herb Reinhard and Doug Reed. The proposal has now filtered down to David Huskins, Huskins, in turn, plans to turn the proposal over to David Hearst, Secretary of Minority Affairs and Chairman of the Black comedian Dick Gregory will speak on toe campus of Western Carolina University Wednesday, April 7, at 8:15 p.m., in the Grand Room of the University Center, A native of the slums of St. Louis, Gregory is known equally well as author, actor, and lecturer. In 1963, Gregory abandoned a successful career as a nightclub comedian to become a champion of civil rights. As a social satirist he now uses his talents to deliver a message of freedom and equality. His autobiography, "Nigger," was a best seller. His new book, "Sermons," is now widely read. As a civil rights activist during the 1960's, Gregory was jailed regularly in Deep South towns. He sustained a bullet wound while trying to help restore order during toe Watts riots in 1965. In 1968, he campaigned for the Presidency on a ticket with author Mark Lane as a protest against the machine of Chicago Mayor Richard Daley and its role in the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Gregory's appearance at WCU is being sponsored by the Black Students United for Liberation (BSUL), as a presentation of their annual Black Week observances. Club rep DICK GREGORY Representatives from the following organizations must meet with the Student Senate Rules Committee in order to have their constitutions approved this quarter: Accounting Club, Arte Student League, Christian Young Churchmen, Industrial Education and Technology Club, Inter-Faith Council, Kappa Delta Pi, Lessing Society, Student Organizations Council, Sociology Club, Student Wives Club. The Rules Committee will meet Thursday, April 8 at 6 p.m. in the Dogwood Room," 2nd floor University Center. Division of Minority Affairs of SGA now being organized. If the course of the proposal seems complex, it is even more surprising that toe great majority of students on campus, including Student Senators, have not even heard of such a proposal Public mention of the proposal has been delayed in consideration of the "emotional response of white students to such a proposal." The basic proposal, presented by James Rush, Gene Goodlett and Garret Moore, Resident of BSUL, states that a primary reason that has "prevented Black students from having a wholesome and socially rewarding experience at WCU has been the absence of a social and cultural outlet," It further categorizes WCU as a campus that clings to all the traditional standards and values of white America. The proposed Black Lounge would, then, give Black students an opportunity to "stabilize" their social being and identity. It would be a place for Blacks to "socialize, fraternize, and experience community" as a "basis of unification and solidarity for Black students." The BSUL hopes that such a lounge would serve as "a meeting place for both Black and white students who wish to partake in meaningful dialogue of common concerns and issues." The proposal allows that there is no social outlet on WCU's campus for Black students and that they need a place to meet, to talk and to study. The lounge would also "provide a convenient location for the books and materials we have on the movement that Black students/people in this country are now engaged." BSUL does not ignore the possible reaction of White students and anticipates "a lot of white backlash" to toe proposal. They further acknowledge that a Black Lounge would "tend to alienate Black students from white students." They are resolved that "unity among Blacks usually means disunity among Blacks and whites." Therefore, BSUL agrees with David Huskins' decision to refer the proposal to the Division of Minority Affairs recently set up for minority students, David Hearst, chairman of the division, working jointly with Huskins, has considered toe proposal and then contends that one way to avoid over-emotional response is to entitle toe lounge an International-Interracial Lounge. In that way, the lounge would theoretically be a service to all minority groups on campus. According to toe Admissions Office, there are seven groups of minority students on campus: 65 Blacks, 11 American Indians, 3 Orientals, 3 Spanish Surnamed Americans, and 9 International Students. Consensus reveals, however, the Blacks are toe only minority group on campus who feel the need for such a lounge. In addition, Garrett Moore admits that most members of BSUL, which includes approximately two-thirds of toe Blacks on campus, would be content only if toe lounge were specifically entitled Black Lounge or BSUL Lounge. White students consulted for reaction to the proposal react unanimously to toe question of separatism. The most frequent objection is over the further segregation of Black and white students. White students often realize a lack of social outlets for the Blacks on campus and usually cite toe absence of Blacks in fraternities, sororities and most social organizations as proof of toe disunity between Blacks and Whites. No White students polled however feel that a Black Lounge is a step toward furthering unity of the races. Academic committees discuss general ed. requirements The future status of General Education requirements at WCU was discussed yesterday by both the Academic Committee of the Student Senate and toe Faculty Senate Academic Committee. "We heard general irrelev- ences from Dr. Turner, a history lecture from Dean Eller, and pointless questions from another administrator," said Sager Williams, chairman of the Student Senate Rules Committee who was present at the meeting. The controversial Thomas Report on General Education Requirements, which would allow a student to take 15 hours of humanities rather than a foreign language or a course in natural science instead of the required math course, was generally approved of by all present, The Faculty Senate committee, however, desired certain amendments, toe most imp ortant being that students must take 20 hours of either math or a foreign language. The Student Senate committee disapproved of this amendment anr1 wanted the Thomas Report to stand as it is. "They acted interested, but didn't try to understand our side," Senator Robert Byrd, chairman of the Student Senate Academic committee stated. Byrd said that although the Faculty Senate committee would consider student opinions, he didn't feel it would make a great deal of difference. Byrd said that WCU's Departments would vote against the Thomas dt.od- osal unless it was amnodeaV Dr. Newton Turner, WCU Academic Affairs Vice-President, stated "it was a very worthwhile meeting. They (the students) asked questions and we tried to answer them. They went away somewhat satisfied, I think."
