  • Page 4 Vol. XXXVI, No. 49 Thursday, April 29, 1971 Editorial Comment THE ITESTERN CAROUNIAN 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. TITANm"***11** ** Ph'' fr°nk| Students should know they are treated fairly Organizational appropriations were released just yesterday and already many people are criticizing the committee's decisions. Only one organization received the amo'.int of money that it asked for and only one organization got a budget boost from the appropriations committee. All but three of tne campus organizations' budgets were reduced, some by several hundred dolHrs. from what they were last year. One thing should be kept in mind, though, and that is that the total appropriations figure of $86, 000 is a minimum figure. Without a doubt, there will be more,. Unless, for some reason, less students come to WCU next year than were here this year. The extra money, though, should not be depended on, for in the words of the committee's chairman, it is to be used for "special" allocations. This implies that it is not to be used just to give an organization more money or to get an organization out of debt, but for a special activity, or a special event. And, the organization will probably have to present a rather good case in order to gain a "special" allocation. Next year, there is a good chance that SGA will be handling appropriations all alone, and there are a couple of changes which might be made in order for everyone to know without a doubt that they are being treated fairly„ First of all, the meetings should be publicized and, if possible, an agenda made up so that an organization might know when its budget would be discussed. The president of the organization might choose to appear before the committee in order to justify the requested amount of money. Then, there should be some kind of appeals procedure set up so that a dissatisfied organization might appeal its appropriation if it feels that it has not been treated fairly. These are small things, granted, but where the students' money is concerned, everything possible should be done to make sure, not only thai everyone has been treated fairly, but that they have no doubt that they have been treated fairlv.

Wat Hopkins Something happened Wednesday night about 11 p.m. It happened around the girls' dormitory. The campus five o squad hauled in someone who was 19, but that's all The Stroller knows. The Str >lt :r si ;pped out of the office about 11 last night, and saw me of the younger members of the campus security office scurrying down the steps. Tne cop jumped In his car and roared off, so naturally the Stroller jumped in his car and folbwed. The cop, obviously one of the more enthusiastic members of the five-o squad cut in behind McKee, made a u-tarn, and screeched to a halt bes'.le the Mental Health Center. Then he commenced chasing, on foot, a guy that darted behind the building. A shot was hoard Ma;-tie The Stroller should say, what sounded like a shot was heard. The campus cop shortly returned with a young man who was told co get up against the wall, spread ■ils legs and not move A moment later a second cop arrived and the man was ;arie<l of Th>> Scroller was told they were returning to the Security Office. So that's the story in a nutshell. But what happened next was what was more interesting than anything else. The cops didn't return to the Security Office. Not right away, anyhow. They were perhaps 20 minutes in returning. And when they did arrive, the man they hi J ;■' ed up *a\ :ot with the officer ho originally started out with. The Stroller tried to question several members of the five-o sq id, but was iold to wait. Then another officer arrived. He was one of tne two that was on the scene to begin with. And he had always been friendly to The Stroller. Up to this iwint, anyway. "Whit happened?" The Stroller asked. "When?" he answered, as he got a drink of water. "Just now. What happened?" "Wiatta you mean, what happened?" "You know what I mean. I followed your friend down the hill. I saw you down there. W\at did you pick this guy up for?" "We wanted to talk to him. Just like I'm talking to you now." "About what?" "About police business That's all. About police business." "You can't tell me?' "No." He turned to walk off. The Stroller called him, though. "Was that a shot? W;is shot or a fire-cracker, or what7" "I don't know. I heard it. I didn't see it. I don't know what it was," "I was told, " The Stroller said, "that you T H E S T R 0 L L guys weren't allowed to carry guns, . . "Who told vouthat?' "Is it true?" "Wait a minute. Who told you that? "That's-uh-that's newspaper business, I can't tell you my source." "Okay." He turned and walked Into toe security office,, "Is that all?' The Stroller asked. "I'm not going to tell you anything. See the director.. ." "Who do you mean the director?' 'See Pritchard Smith. If there's anything to print, he'll tell you." "Okay, thanks." So that was it, A f-w minutes later, the five-o squad carted the guy off, and the news editor and a photographer followed, They Loon him to Sylva, and at the time this was written, he was in jail and charged with public drunkenness. When asked the student's name, The Stroller was told, "I'm not allowed to give °u'^ more information to the newspaper tow gnu But tune in next week. And if anyone saw the incident, The Stroller requests that you get in touch with him as soon as possible. "J ■ihone even. All The Stroller wants, is a witness, not a name, just a witness, Write THE STROLLER Box66
