  • page 4 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday .Jan. 18, 1973 Editorial Comment We Are Back With this edition the Western Carolinian resumes publication after a six-week suspension of newspaper funds. We are glad to be back at our typewriters and in our inkpots, and readers will note that our pen is still free and sharp. The reasons for the student government action are well-known and, in our opinion, were not well- founded. We will continue to publish a free, independent newspaper, unencumbered by government tampering, regardless of its causes. Our eyes will be on the future, but we will not hesitate to bring up the past, as a reminder of how bad things might again become. Our hatchet is buried, and we hope student government has done the same with theirs. We will keep ours sharp, nevertheless, just in case. We intend to work with our student government in a cooperative fashion, supporting them when they are right, vigorously opposing them when they are wrong. We intend to treat the administration in the same fashion, for a press that is not free is not worth having. For a month or two we will be publishing on a weekly basis. This development is a function of our inadequate funding by the SGA, but is not a result of the fund suspension or the newspaper shutdown. We are going weekly in an effort to economize, so that the paper can continue to publish down to the final week in spring quarter. We want to avoid the trouble the paper encountered last spring. We have expended our appropriation wisely, but we have never been able to get blood from a turnip, A better newspaper can be had with more money to finance it. Wake-Up Students WCU's new guest visitation policy which was made effective at the end of last quarter is a giant step by WCU standards. When compared to other- schools in the University of North Carolina system, though, Western Carolina continues to dribble along. Open visitation three nights a week is good, but we still have a long way to go before we catch up. According to the new Visitation Policy, "guest visitation is a privilege extended to students by the University." We have always been under the impression that interpersonal visitation is a right. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has open visitation everyday, seven days a week. This is the procedure of normal everyday living, not some privilege a University can grant its student body. Coed residence halls and residence halls for married students have become accepted modes of living at colleges and universities all over the country, Western Carolina , though, has continued to see a need for keeping men and women separated at each end of the campus. It ■ is time for the students at WCU to wake up and take a look around. We are not only behind, we are far behind. If the system is going to change, then, the students are going to have to get off their rear-ends, and MAKE IT CHANGE. oooooeoocooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooocoooocooooooeooooaoooooooooo* Published twice weekly through the academic- year and weekly during the summer by the students of Western Carolina University.

Cartoonists Photographers To The Editor: The use of undue political pressure on Brooks Sanders is unfounded on a college campus. Dwight Nelson was completely unethical in his choice of tactics. To stop publication of the only source of information for students is wrong. Where does Nelson get the gall to use the Western Carolinian as a political stepping stone and ego builder'.' The worst blow of the whole incudent is that the students were never informed prematurely that his action was going to take place. After talking to both sides I accumalated many facts. The basis for the disagreement centers around the hiring of a few non-students on the newspaper's staff, This goes against stated procedures in the newspaper's constitution. The reason for this action by Brooks Sanders and his staff was to complete the working force for the paper. In the beginning of the year there was a drive to get students employed on the Carolinian staff. There was only sparse response, WeALL must claim part guilt in this area. Nelson was negligent in not looking into the situation deeper. The few non-students that are working are only temporarily in that stems, to be full -time students in the near future. This is not. some deviously devised plot as some in .Student Government would like to believe, I think Nelson ought to recall his order. The paper is no place for personal and political quarrels. In the interest of all the students this one technicality should be waived. By Three Judge Panel Nelson should not have this holy control over student's money. Student Government should strive to unite students rather than polorize them, Robert F. Kerris To The Editor: To those of us who grew up to believe that a good teacher and an interested student at opposite ends of a log is the best possible teaching-learning situation, Dr, Carlton's proposals in the Sunday Citizen appear catastrophic. For WCU they are frought with danger. While most college administrators are coming to realize that the student revolts of thel960's were caused by the dehumani- zation and mechanization of the educational process, Dr. Carlton suggests the recreation of the very conditions that prompted the rebellion at WCU I hope he does not reap the whirlwind in the manner of Proverbs 11)29, Above the entrance to Hell in The Divine Comedy is the motto "Abandon Hope-All Ye Who Enter Here" Above the Entrance to Buchen- wald, the German Death Camp was the motto "Arbeit Macht Frei" (Work makes you free) Joining these will be the new motto at the gate to WCU "LEARNING TAKES PLACE HEBE" Sincerely, John Patterson To The Editor: I loved Dr. Carlton's proposals in the Asheville Citizen of December 31. I intend to enroll my Panasonic cassette recorder at WCU while I continue with a full time job and a part time job as a plumber's apprentice. At the end of four years I will have a lucrative trade, four years work experience, and a college degree, I will also have 191 quarter hours of taped lectures, insights and demonstrations. If I can get four of my friends to enroll their cassettes, among us we will have so man.v hours of recorded knowledge we will be able lo start our own college. We might even hire a few PH D's and a few members of actor's eqity to give our institution a patina of re- spectibility. Name Withheld By Request DEAR EDITOR The November 2, 1972, copy of "The Western Carolinian'' jus* recently came into my possession, I noticed an article on Graffiti by Ted Bugg and his wondering at the absence of graffiti on bathroom walls, I would like to answer his question With a question: -Why should anyone hunt vulgar, obscene words on bathroom walls when all he had to do is open up a copy of "The Western Carolinian'-*' Sincere!}, Mrs. Rovert E, Dav s Rt: 1, Canton, N.C, Federal Statute Declared Unconstitutional A federal statute to deny U,S, financial aid to disruptive college students, one of the first major results of the Congressional furor over cam pus violence in 1968, has been declared unconstitutional by a three -judge federal panel here- Ruling in the case of a former graduate studentatthe University of Ulionois's Chicago Circle campus, the panel held, 2 to 1, that the statute's language was "overbroad," anc that it violated "the first essential of due process of law." In an important qualification, however, the opinion indicated that Congress still had the right to limit federal aid to students through "appropriately precise standards," The challenged portion of the law directed colleges and universities to withhold federal aid from students convicted of what the institutions considered to be "serious" crimes that contributed to "substantial disruption" of their administration. Similar provisions have been incorporated in other federal education laws since 1968, including the package of higher education amendments enacted by the 92nd Congress, The University of Illinois student, Jeanne Rasche Deloff, had been denied federal loan ma after being convicted I minial trespass on state-supported property. The offense, a misdemeanor, stemmed from an anti-war demonstration at the university's Reserve Officers Training Corps building in May, 1970. Federal officials have not yet decided whether to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. David Goldberger, legal director for the Illinois division of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which argued the case, said he though the ruling meant that Congress would "have to rewrite the whole statute."
