  • Editorial Comment THE WESTERN CAROUMAN This newspaper is the Voice of the Students of Western Carolina University, Editorials are from the Editor's desk unless otherwise indicated b> theauthor's initials. Editorial and advertising policy are decided upon b\ the Editorial Board and comments or criticisms should be made to the newspaper. Opinions expressed by the columnists do not necessarily reflect those of the newspaper. Page 2 VOL. XXXVII, No. 53 Tuesday, May 9, 1972 Taken to soul XS»T7WE?? Sure enough, WCAT is prejudiced. It has not been made clear exactly who they are prejudiced against, but the station is definitely prejudiced. It has been blatantly obvious for months, but only now is it coming out into the open. Don Patton first discovered the fact. Patton is a black disc jockey who has been jockeying for about a month. He tried to jockey Fred Jones out of the General Manager's posi= tion, but lost the write°in campaign. It all started because Patton couldn't get his soul show the way he wanted it to be. He wasn't asking too much. All he wanted was a three hour show, during the prime time hours, five nights a week. That amounts to only 15 hours of prime time a week, not too much for a disc jockey of only one month. The narrow-minded exec«* utives of WCAT would not alter the format of the radio sta« tion for Patton though. Armed with his petition of a thousand names, he marched to the Student Senate. The Senate ruled that the problem was "an internal matter." Horse feathers* Internal then, maybe, but later Patton was suspended, so it became external. He should have returned to the senate then, before he was reinstated. He didn't, though. What he did do was injunct the radio station through the public defender. He charged the station with prejudice. Certainly he had done his homework. He asked the court to force the station to play a soul record in every third slot on the format. That would mean the station would be playing 33 1/3 percent soul music. The station now is only playing 20 to 30 percent soul music. What we don't understand is why WCAT did not scrap its whole format when the situation began. It only took the Music Director and a group of radio personnel all Winter Quarter to establish the format, And that format isn't so hot, It chooses the biggest part of its music from the top 40 charts and changes when the chart changes, every week. It has only raised the status of WCAT four or five notches nationally. It's about time WCAT's pre-- judice was made known. Patton had good reasons to have his feelings hurt Right offhand we can't see anything wrong with a constant blast of soul music three hours a night, five nights a week. After all, our radio does have an off button. 'Picture Show*' a classic It's typically Bond If you still think that Thumper and Bambi were a rabbit and a deer, then you haven't seen the latest James Bond flick, "Diamonds Are Forever." When I first saw that it was playing in the Sylva area, only one question popped into my mind, "Is it filmed in the James Bond tradition?" The answer I received was in the affirmative. So, coming from the school of "Gold- finger" and "Dr. No," it was off to the The Western Carolinian Published twice weekly through the academic year and weekly during the summer bythe itudeots at Western Carolina University.

Bond got things off to a quick start by doing in a many he killed two more times before the end of the flick. As the evening progressed, he rescued a damsel in distress named Plenty O - Toole, drove a hopped up Mustang down a dead end alley on two wheels, tangled with a pair of homosexuals that felt the best way to improve business was to liquidate the competition, and managed to liberate Jimmy Dean, multi-billionaire tycoon. The girls were beautiful and willing, and the action almost constant. However, with all the usual acrobatics and narrow escapes, Sean Connery is slipping. The once female devastating physique is sagging a bit and the old sheen of glamour is not so shiny. But I wasn't disappointed. Not really. James Bond was still James Bond. Maybe for the last time. Maybe not. In any case, the connoisseur of the spy spoof will feel at home with "Diamonds Are Forever." It's not an academy award winner, or even a nominee. It's a James Bond movie. To The Editor, In a recent issue of the CAROLINIAN, there was a review of the movie, "The Last Picture Show." The reviewer stated that the picture was overrated and an array of junk. Well, since I'm one who has been won over to the side of Peter Bogdanovkch, I would like to ex- press my view of the movie. "The Last Picture Show" is a view of the downfall of the middle-class, white, silent-majority and "Mom and apple- pie" type of "amerika." True, the movie takes place in the fifties, but instances in the movie can be paralleled with today. Also, the setting, which is a small town in Texas has no Black or Chi- cano inhabitants which points to the fact that the contemporary view of "amerika" is white, middle-classed, etc. The main character, Sonny (Timothy Bottoms) was as unsure of what the future held for him as are young people of today with problems such as war, pollution, etc. Like, the Korean conflict in the flick can be compared with the Vietnam conflict of today. The downfall of morals and decency was portrayed in the movie with the characters of the high school "bitch" (Cybill Shepherd) and her mother (Ellen Burstyn) who urged her daughter to give up her virginity and experiment with sex for pleasure since there wouldn't be a brighT"fu!ure for Tier if she remained in town after she graduated from school. Sam the Lion (Ben Johnson) represented the leader and "father figure" image that this country looks up >~. Examples are George Washington, Tom Jefferson, Abe Lincoln, JFK, LBJ, etc. Like today,'who is there to look up to? Can you imagine a kid looking up to and wanting to be like Tricky Dicky or Spiro? What a laugh! Anyway, when Sam died, so did the town, such as this country is doing now since the deaths of John and Bobby Kennedy and Martin L. King who were great leaders and held the keys to this country's greatness. The coach and the football team who never won a game showed something that this country can't face up to, being a loser (Vietnam). His wife, played by Cloris Leachman, who had an affair with Sonny represented the striving of women for sexual liberation and a quest for a new approach to the concept of marriage. The closing of the theatre has to be viewed as the end of this country, since motion pictures are this country's true contribution to the world of art. Also, did you notice who starred in the final movie that played at the picture show? No other than John Wayne! Who is more American than he? in closing, I suggest that all who were dismayed by "The Last Picture Show," should see it again. For those who haven't seen it, make sure you do if you get the chance. It's truly a classic! Bill Howell Syntactical jungle To The Editor, If today's editorial was one of the better examples of your written English, I suggest that you give up. Any point that you had to make was obscured in that syntactical jungle. Either you have gone into a slump or else Dr. Reinhard is ghostwriting for you. Sincerely, James W. Barden
