  • page 4 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Tuesday May 1, 1973 Editorial Comment Drop Contract Plan Tomorrow the Western Carolina University Board of Trustees will be in town for their monthly meeting. The proposed residence hall contract will be an the agenda, and indications are that the administration will be lobbying strongly for approval of the new regulation. 1 rider the terms of the contract, students would be required to sign a contract binding them to remit in in the hall for a minimum if three quarters from the date of signature. If the student were to move out of the hall to perhaps more desirable quarters, he would be assessed a breach of contract fee equal to one quarter's room rent. This newspaper has opposed the contract idea from its inception. Student senators have been outspoken in their opposition, too, and their opinion is representative of a wide-spread unhappiness among residence hall students with the idea. Every candidate in the recent elections voiced disapproval of the contract. And yet, approval comes closer and closer. Yesterday a petition began circulating among the student body that decries the contract proposal, citing it as an unimaginative approach to the campus housing problem. And unimaginative is what the con tract Is. The Board should vote the idea down, and set our administrators to work on better ways to improve residence hall life. We Want Co-Ed Halls The Student Senate finally decided last night to approve a recommendation for co-educational residence halls. After two months of bickering over trivialities, it's about time they came to some agreement on the matter. The resolution, introduced by Sen. Dwight .Sparks in February, now recommends a mixed-housing situation in Leatherwood and a woman's hall in the Albright-Benton complex. The reasons behind this plea for co-ed housing have been emphasized and re-emphasized - to create a variety in residence hall living, to make thy halls more desirable for would-be off-campus students, to integrate the campus, to keep up with more progressive schools, etc. We've heard the reasoning. And now that WCU's representative senators have voiced their approval of the resolution, we hope that the Board of Trustees will give serious consideration and affirmation to the idea of co-educiitional housing. The Board of Trustees is made up of men (unfortunately, no women) who are intelligent and who certainly realize the financial and social advantages of mixed living. We urge them to approve the development of Leatherwood Hall as a co-ed hall for the 1973-74 school year.

Subscription rates, $4.00 per year. To the students: 1 wish to convey my deepest appreciation to those who helped and supported me in the recent election. Through the continued assistance of the entire student body the SG<\ will have a successful and productive year. I invite all students to visit my office at any time to express their views and opinions. The basis of student government is the opinions of the students. My objective is to maintain a responsiveness to student expression and opinion. It should be very clear that the total body of student opinion on an issue consists of all the views, expressed, and not just the majority or dominant views. Government should provide the maximum opportunity for each student to have the most creative, satisfying, productive living. A good student government is my goal and should be the goal of every student. My office will always be open to you so please feel free to come by. Respectfully yours, Harold Rogers Dear Folks, I would like to thank all the people who came out to vote last Thursday in the SGA elections. I especially appreciate those people who voted for me. It is, however, pathetic that only approximately 1,000 students voted in the election out of the more than 4,500 who were eligible to vote. For those who are quick to criticize student government—think first. If you did not vote in last Thursday's election you should not be so quick to criticize student government. I feel Mr. Rogers will do a very good job, and with the co-operation and help of the student body, student government will have a very successful year next year. I again thank the people who voted last Thursday and encourage them to continue by working with student government and supporting their student body president. Yours truly, Scott Lindsay Dear Students, I wish to thank those persons who supported me for Student Body Vice President. Although we failed to obtain that office, those issues we campaigned for were not defeated. During the coming year I plan to remain as your senator and as a writer for the Western Carolinian. In both positions I will be working for you and those issues we have tried to achieve. Regarding the election, the students of WCU have elected two qualified and able leaders. While they work for your interests, they will always have my support. Unity of purpose and direction is important for the success of student government. I plan to follow that policy. I thank those of you who sup= ported me. That support will not be forgotten. While 1 pledge to continue to work for you, I ask you to unite with your new leaders for the coming year. Sincerely, Dwight Sparks Dear Editor, I'm sure every student here at Western has experienced the following: You have a term paper due, you've chosen your topic, and with determination you head to the library to begin your research. You slave through the card catalog, reader's guide and resource files trying to find magazinearticles suitable for your topic. Sometimes this list may be long, and sometimes, it may include all but article. With this portion accomplished, you venture onward to the magazine rack. Feeling that you're well on your way to completing your paper, you flip through the magazine to the page of your article- only to discover someone had previously read the article- AND TAKEN IT WITH THEM. I would like to remind you that the magazines that are placed in the library are for everyone's use. These articles are very essential to students here-it's a shame that some people have such little consideration for others. We know that sometimes you may be in a hurry to get the info from these articles, but may we remind you that that is why a copying machine is available in the library, be it in Hunter or the Curriculum Lab. This childish and immature behavior has caused many of us extra work. Next time, before you rip out that article, please consider the other students on this campus thatareinthesame predicament and need the article as much as you do. Norma Sumner and 32 other students. Co-Ed Hall Bill Passed A bill recommending coeducational residence halls was passed by the Student Senate last night after more than two months of being kicked back and forth between the senate floor and an ad hoc committee. The revised resolution, sponsored by Senator Dwight Sparks, calls for Leatherwood Residence Hall to be changed to a mixed housing hall. This would mean two wings would be set up for men while the other two would remain women's wings, with non-restricted movement of residents within the hall. The bill further recommends that Benton Hall be made a women's residence, and that these suggestions be effective fall quarter. This resolution as well as suggestions made by Dr. Ty», ler Combs, director of housing, will come before the Board of Trustees at its public meeting here Wednesday, May 2. The senate approved a resolution sponsored by Charles Newman which recommends the dismissal of housing personnel other than maintenance workers, one to two graduate assistant administrators per hall and one professional director of Housing. According to Newman's bill jnds saved by this action should be used to eliminate the need for a housing contract and to reduce room rent. The Senate defeated a resolution to set up a new WP system under which a student could receive a grade of withdraw- Passing frorrn a course on request up until the final examination if he had a passing average.
