  • Administrators supportive To the Editor: There has been recently much speculation about this university being afflicted with administrative power- struggles, cessation of progress, drift, etc. Whether or not these speculations are jus'ified, they do reflect a legitimate concern which all members of the university community should share regarding the present and future of our administrative leadership, Ishouldlike, however, to call attention to something which often is overlooked when situations like this arise. The main function of this university is the education of its students. This is not the only thing which goes on here, but it is by far the most important, The university's instructional program is not conducted in Bird Administration Building. Presidents, vice-presidents, and assistant vice-presidents can be important, but no one should confuse their supportive role with the direct conduct o f the instructional program. There should be no doubt of the fact that the schools and their faculties are not, about to permit any Interruption or drift in the main business of the university. Progress has many forms, and some of them may suffer in a period of administrative uncertainty. However, the single most important form of progress at this university is the progress which each individual student makes towards the fulfillment of hjs intellectual interests and talents. Students have not sought this fulfillment in Bird Building in the past, and thus they should not be unduly apprehensive about this progress being significantly affected by what goes on there now. All of us should continue -a vital concern for the quality of our administrative leadership, but at the same time we should keep these matters in perspective. Ellerd Hulbert, Head Department of History Emergency For two years, lhave heard complaints from students concerning the quality of the Emergency Services on this campus. The Student Government Association is very interested In this problem and has started to search for a solution. One possible solution would be to group together students who have experience in Emergency First Aid Services to forma student ambulance to assist the Security Patrol in fulfilling this assignment, If qualified and interested students can be found, we can proceed to end this problem. If any interested student who has a State Ambulance Attendant Certification, or who belongs to a rescue squad or ambu lance service, or who has a validated Advanced First Aid Card would write or call the SGA and list his qualifications, we could compile this information to submit it to the Administration for further investigation of the matter, Your interest and help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Respectively, Tim S. Lanltr Senator, SGA I\0. Box 1666 293-7299 r'^Jrjr^jrjVmY^^jr^^^A Correspond dunce Dear Jay: We don't know who your are, but you seem to know who we are, so Howdy and welcome to our home. Everything here is cracklin' like a fire anyday, but especially Thursdays, in our small, out- of-the-way cabin near a lake where I used to fish as a boy, but can't as a man. No fish. Aunty and I spent a cozy Christmas near the fire (you remember the fire) burning parts of the fall-in of the old Collins house. Missy Collins got sick and died in two days of being crazy from eatine fish (back when there was fish) and her folks nearly drowned in a mud wash splashln' from logger's Knob during the big rain about three years ago. Too bad about all that mud... Which reminds me about the fire. Col- CONTINUED Page 12, . . . Thursday, January 20, 1972 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 5 The television opiate This television, Whas it done to us' Has television become the opiate of the American masses, by which millions are deluded into believing that only true patriots of democracy wear Jack Webb haircuts and that long hair swings from the outside of a mind bent on overthrowing the system? Are television programs—programming us? Let's take a look at three of the most popular t>pes of TV programs and First, there is the crime drama. "The FBI," "Dragnet." The DA," and "Ironside" are examples. The crime drama is an attempt to prove that the judge is the pope of American law, and that hippies are always wrong. And to extend the metaphor, juries are the archbishops, and the defendant is the heretic before the Inquisitors? And then there are sports. And sports. And sports. And more sports., Football games, until last Sunday, were televised about three times weekly, plus bowls. Now, basketball, "TheAmerican Sportsman," golf, boxing, and the Winter Olympics are warming up to perform for an Increasingly sports-hungry public. And of course the first question that arises is "why"? Why are we so willing to give eye service to a competition judged on the basis of how often a ball can be carried to a designated place in a designated amount of time'.7 The only answer I can come up with is that we want entertainment which will TV By SAM YOUNG surprise us. We don't want to know the ending, and we don't want the good the ending, and we don't necessarily want the good team to win—as long as it's a good game. And God save the TV' contest shows, such as "Let's Make a Deal," "The \ewiywed tame," and "Hollywood Squares,'* Where would we be If we weren't given the opportunity to envy the winners of ranges, refrigerators, and thousand dollar bills? And in the case of "The Newlywed Game," how eager we are to watch young marrieds exchange every drop of whatever maturity they possess for a new washer-dryer. Perhaps TV is not the sense- destroying ogre I have presented it to be. But then perhaps it is. Don't look now, Americans, but you might just be sacrificing all of your individualism, intelligence, and maturity for a few minutes of "I only did it so Johnny could have things I only dreamed about in my childhood," or "Dummy, you know I didn't wear red panties on our wedding night!" You might just be going down the Liquid Plumered drain of social conformity.. Down yonder Negativism in pop music is on the way out. And so is much of its constant com panion, hard or"acid" rock, Hard rock's message has always been the sorry state of affairs or how life turns out bad. Much of this was due to the lack of maturity, not in the ability of the musicians but in our attitudes. The music that is fast becoming predominate today is "softer" in presentation and more positive in direction. Some groups are mutating and remain with up as new artists appear with the advent of the new sound. But the most interesting and, in my humble opinion, exciting outgrowth of this is the rise in popularity of bluegrass MUSIC By ED WILSON JUNGLE'S DON'T BELIEVE IT filled with exciting stories. Once last year in Rockwood, Tenn., Steve White, Conrad Cardano and myself drove ten miles back out of our way to verify a dog that Cardano said ran under a house. We pulled up to the house. Conrad and I got out and walked around to the back where the lady of the house was hanging up her wash. Cardano whistled. And when a small sonner pattered out, he commence to yell "zip, zip,..I told you so" to the amazement of the lady. Icouldsaymore.butallyou need to do is try it The game can be twisted or perverted . . , ,FROM Page 4 to suit the individual'sown psychological disorders, I once played (the game)with a pervert who insisted we add a rule stating that if one of us zipped two dogs fornicating, then the one who spotted the act would automatically win, Sheesh. Make up your rules if you wish, but for verification of their validity one' must contact Tom Corbittinow at Appalachian State) to get approval of the National Zipdog International Congress. And, speaking of Corbitt, here is a scoop. Tom agreed to give Jungle the exclusive rights for first publication that his wife.Miss Elaine is with child. (Fits right in with Believe IT or Don't) ...Now as we close out this week's column we find the world as normaL From England, the bobbys are pursuit of a person who insists on stealing man-hole covers,, The culprit has culled a large number to date and several persons have been reported to have stepped into the open holes he has left at night. Shades of Cool Hand Luke. And from California, a government research project is underway to develop a strain of short, fat chickens, It seems that tall, skinny chickens have a tendancy to break their eggs when they drop them. Right. Thirty. music. Bluegrass, in Its various forms, is as old as the first settlements in the mountains. It was born and raised in the Appalachian foothills and enjoys the ability of countless fine muscians, known and unknown. But the key to its return is the fact that it offers the honesty, maturity and optimism In demand today. An outgrowth of bluegrass is what is known as mountain music or square dancing music. Mountain music employs the same instruments and style as bluegrass but has the subtle difference of being "danceable." A fine and brilliantly executed example of mountain music is "The Square Dancer's Answer" given life by High Fidelity Sales of Asheville. It is an album of long-time square dance tunes employing musicians in the Ashevllle are and offers two uninterrupted medleys that lend themselves well into the "big circle goin' left" fans or just plain listening. Mountain music is the music of people; people having a good time; people who know the hardships of life, We all have the "bad" pounded into our skulls so take a break and jump on the good time in "The Square Dancer's Answer,"
