  • page 4 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday October 26, 1972 Editorial Comment Dealins In Excesses Results of a WCU Housing Office survey indicate that freshmen living in the overcrowded conditions in residence halls last fall made an average 21% lower grades than their non-crowded counterparts. Sadly- enough, this was to be expected. We recall that some potential WCU freshmen, upon seeing their assigned rooms that fall decided to postpone their college entrance rather than put up with the eight-to-a-room idea. We almost experienced a similar predicament this fall, but were saved from that due to the "no- show' ' of a few hundred men and women. The tendency to stock up on fall quarter freshmen should be curtailed. While the University may need the extra dollars that two-quarter students provide, the time, effort, and overall investment is far more profitable to the University and the student if he is able to stay in school for a steady four years. A student body of stable size makes it easier for residence hall operators, cafeteria managers, and other operations personnel to plan their needs, requirements, and budgets. We need to set a limit on the student body size, announce it in public, and stick to it, A Welcome And A Wish Saturday is inauguration day for Dr. Jack Carlton and Western Carolina University. On August 1,1972, Dr. Carlton began to get the feel of his saddle; starting Saturday, he will have to learn to ride the horse. In running a university, especially one expanding in both student numbers and physical plant, considerations must be made for the educational treatment this growing number of young people will receive. Sheer masses of raw products pumped into a smoothly running factory mechanism will, indeed, produce a vast number of well-oiled finished items, each with a basic, expendable function. Detroit has proved this possible far beyond Henry Ford's wildest dreams. People, somehow, are different from production reports or quality control statistics. People have needs and desires that a university could so easily satisfy. Just ask the student who has had a professor, or taken a course, that has shown him a concept which makes life itself an essential, wide-open experience. The problems in dealing with masses of students are tremendous; they become infinitely more complicated when attempting to educate these living, viable members of the human community and still • allow them their identities as individuals, each capable of coping freely in individual life situations. It has to do with understanding, Education can start with ABC's. Now it's up to Dr. Carlton and the University to help provide a more profound completion to four years of college. We wish you good luck.

Dear Editor: On November 7, North Carolina voters will vote on a constitutional amendment which, on its face, seems meaningless but will change the wording of the state constitution to be consistent with the U.S. Constitution as regards the rights of 18 year olds to register and vote. However, the 1971 General Assembly, in its waning moments, amended the bill to include a section settingtheage to run for public office at 21 years. I oppose the proposed amendment for the following reasons: (1) The second part, or a- mended section, is not in the "spirit" of the amendment— that spirit being to encourage the active participation by young people in the political process; (2) the proposed amendment is not necessary. At the time of the drafting of this proposed amendment, the N.C. General Assembly has already ratified the 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Thus, it was already the law of this state that 18 year olds have the right to vote. The only thing this proposed amendment would do--the reason it was proposed in the first place—would be to deny a select group of adult citizens of North Carolina the right to hold elective office. (3) It is simply not "right". To cut out a 3 year period of an adult's life and say that youare old enough to do everything else an adult can do—to benefit from the privileges and be subject to the responsibilities of adulthood—but you are not able to run for the public offices you cast your ballot for, is wrong. For these reasons I oppose this amendment and urge all citizens to vote against it in November. Jim Van Hecke, Jr. Bowles for Governor Staff Raleigh, North Carolina To The Editor: The Time To Act is Now Governor Robert Scott struck the proper note at the Asheville, North Carolina, Democratic Fiesta, Sept. 30, when he urged all-out support for the entire Democratic ticket from Court House to White House. This is more important than ever before because this nation cannot even pretend to have a government OF, FOR and BY the People with four more years of Richard Nixon. He has already brought the government perilously close to becoming one OF Economic Royalists, FOR the Predatory Few. The present Washington administration has been and continues to be wholly regressive: Regressive in race relations, in civil rights, in education, in employment, in the burden of taxation and in monetary matters* In every field except financial, military and industrial, Mr. Nixon's policies have been negative. Every Nixon policy has been directed toward the benefit of the privileged. Relations between the white and toe underprivileged minorities have been set back for decades, probably generations, by Nixon's racist policies. Law and order in the Justice Department have been placed a- bove JUSTICE. The underprivileged will now have to prove INNOCENCE instead of the state proving GUILT as formerly under Anglo-Saxon legal concepts. In education the United States, according to recent United Nations' reports, has become second class, lagging behind Sweden, France, the Soviet Union and Cuba. Unemployment has greatly increased while wages are fixed, and prices and Inflation rise. Tax benefits have been for the privileged few. The whole Nixon economic policy is based upon the trickle-down theory of Monopoly Capitalism. It must be clear now to the informed that our POW's can never be free unless and until the U.S. Government war of AGGRESSION upon the In- dochlnese people is ended; and recent events clearly show that this war will not be ended until Nixon is removed from power. Tom Wicker, New York Times, was obviously right when he stated Nixon did not have a plan to end the war as he promised in March, 1968, and does not have one now, except through bombing Indochina back to the Stone Age a la General LeMay. Surely the mass communications media must know that changing the body count from white Americans to yellow Orientals and thereby increasing the number of the latter threefold, is not ending the war; that hiring others to fight Nixon's war is more cowardly and dishonorable than using his own countrymen to fight it. Why haven't they exposed this even greater immorality, including the regressive acts of the Nixon administration mentioned a- bove? Whatever the true an swer, it will not absolve them from non-performance of their Constitutional duty to inform our people. For If the American people knew the real character of the Nixon administration, they would over- whelmingly elect George McGovern President in November. Nothing short of accepting Governor Scott's advice of vo= ting the straight Democratic party ticket can save our society from becoming totalitarian. Even if every Court House and State House should go Democratic, while returning Richard Nixon to the White House, all would nevertheless be lost. Mr. Nixon has repeatedly shown his contempt for his oath of office, the Constitution, the Congress and the common people. Under successive Washington administrations, the Congress has been reduced toa rubber stamp, and the U.S. Supreme Court has now been packed by Mr, Nixon. Only a victory by McGovern in November can save us at this the most critical period of our history— even more critical than the period of our Civil War, 1861-1865.
