  • 2 Tuesday, April 17, 1972 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Beer for those cleaning up creek B.v DON BRAO\ It was two weeks ago when the operation began. Some called it Hud and mud, others culled it suds for mud, but everyone agreed that it was a strange sight. \bout fifteen A Ibright-Benton Comic books have place on cam pus Harvey Kurtzman thinks comic books have a relevance to college students and the youth culture and is coming to campus to talk about it. Kurtzman, wirter for ESQUIRE and PLAVBOY magazines, says that the best sellers on campuses ' today arc "The Mighty Avengers," "The Amazing Spiderman,"andother comics with super-heroes who survive by supernatural intervention. The difference in today's comic books from the purely escape literature of "Flash Gordon'- he says, is its interesting art form which approaches social commentary. Kurtzman will be in Albright- Benton Lounge at 8:00 pm., Thursday night. Admission is tree to the public. residents turned out to clean out the creek that runs between the two dorms. It seems that when the two dorms were built the creek ran through two concrete pools with several little waterfalls between them, lAir- ing the past few years the pools grew up with weeds and the waterfalls filled in with mud. List week end there was plcntj of beer to drink, supplied h\ the dorm government, and plenty of help to do the job. The rules were, those who work drink and those who sit don't and as long as you work you can drink. The residents worked for most of Saturday afternoon to restore things to their past beauty. By the end of the day the back of Albright Benton looked better than it had in years. The workers were tired, a little high, and proud of their work. Then the first of last week it rained, and rained, and rained. Next day the pools were about empty and mud had again stopped the waterfalls from falling. The operation was repeated this past Saturday but things were a little different. This time there was no Buds or suds, only shovels, rakes, axes and hard work. Both of the two people who showed up worked hard but failed to finish the re- restoration. The story does have a happy ending because the work is being done, only slower this time. The dorm government is supplying the shovels and tools and a few of the sun bathers each afternoon jump >nto the creek and continue the work. Study to be made to improve WCU's campus Western Carolina University will soon embark on a study designed to improve the physical environment at Western and provide a campus more conducive to pleasurable living and learning. Co-sponsored by the Educational Facilities Laboratories, an organization established by the F'ord Foundation to help schools and colleges with their physical problems, and the Office for Institutional Research and Development, the study will be conducted during the weeks of May 7 and May 21. Two hundred fifty students each week will be asked to complete an activity diary and questionnaire, providing information about how they spend their time and what views they hold on various aspects of university life. Their responses, which will remain anonymous, will provide a major source of information for use in developing WCU's campus. Sager Williams, president of the Student Government Association, which supports the study, said that student participation and cooperation are the most important aspects of the study. In a letter from the Office for Institutional Research and Developmentand Sa ger Williams to randomly-selected students, he said that since each participant would ultimately represent thousands of future students, complete cooperation is imperative. Western Carolina University is the third campus in the na= tion to conduct such a study, Duke and Washington State universities each developed methodologies for collecting student data, and the WCU study will combine the best parts of each previous study. The study will be conducted by the Office for Institutional Research and Development. New academic award established for women History of children's hooks on display in library The Cullowhee Branch of the American Association of University Women has announced the establishment of a new academic award for a woman student at Western Carolina University.
