page 4 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday May 3, 1973 Editorial Comment \^6iH- V*'JT^iLo •^l^'* Torms A Silent Revolution f*ooT*u t>e*ECnv/es..., a** os A silent revolution took place on the Western Carolina campus Sunday afternoon. Unnoticed by all, WCL established its first coeducational residence in Walker Hall. We applaud Dr. Tyler Combs, housing director, for this brave action which he instituted without approval of the Board of Trustees. Granted it is for one week only, but last night we counted men living on Walker's seventh floor with more men coming in today. But don't give Combs too much credit. The men are not students; they are merely here participating in educational programs on campus. Our question is just this: If Dr. Combs truly advocated coed housing, why did he not recommend it to the Board of Trustees yesterday instead of his odious room contract? Last night this writer braved all those juvenile rules and regulations that can get one "removed" from this institution and visited the former women's hall to interview the men who had just moved in. A word about the amicable gentlemen that we met there, some of whom are WCU graduates. It was their general consensus that coed living was quite acceptable. They concluded, as we do, that adult students are adults despite popular belief among the administration and trustees, and students should be able to set their own life style. This year we have seen the administration and trustees violate every law of business procedure. This year they put a $150 increase per year in a room's cost and have cut maintenance personnel For next year they have plans requiring all freshmen to live in dorms and to force everyone living on campus to sign a contract stating that they will remain the entire year. We have said it before; pardon us for being redundant, To fill the residence halls, we should make them more attractive places in which to live. And we are watching the Walker "experiment" with interest. Motorcycle Mania Aa-a-h. Lovely springtime has come to stay in Cullowhee once again, and along with the wa^m weather it seems that hundreds of motorcycles have also blossomed forth out of winter hiding. Or is it one or two cycles with motors that roar with thousands of unmuffled cubic centimeters ? At any rate, the noise is atrocious. Classes in McKee, Stillwell, Sillian and Hoey must observe a moment of silence every time one of these mean machines roars through campus. Please, bikers, use your heads and your mufflers !

Dear Sir: My wife and I attended the Bluegrass Festival at Reid Gymnasium last Sat .irday night. The music was great and the majority of tha audience was enthusiastic and appreciative. Unfortunately, what could have been an exceptional event was marred by the performance of a little band of demented freaks, exhibitionist drunks and spastic creamers. I am not talking about audience enthusiasm. I am not talking about yelling, clapping and foot-stomping. I am talking about the repulsive little group immediately in front of the stage that stumbled about spilling their Budwiser and Boone's Farm all over each other and emitting ear—splitting sow squeals. Their strategic locations gave them maximum visibility and they performed with narcisstic abandon - did little war dances, tried to climb on the stage and proudly held their bottles aloft - like high school freshmen with their first can of beer. One female sprawled by the stage - right speakers gave great, wracking lavor-pain bellows the entire night. She invariably attracted the attention of the groups performing on stage. As the night passed, some of the group became bored and began wandering aimlessly, prowling the bleachers, stumbling and falling over the spectators. Since I have attended other events at WCU, I am aware that this type of behavior is not unusual, However, I feel that the sheer determination of this group was quite remarkable and deserved comment. Gary N. Carden Sylva, N. C. Dear Fellow Students, On Tuesday, May 6, the students at WCU will go to the polls once again-this time to elect the student senators for next year. I urge every student to vote and let their feelings and wishes be known. On that day I will be seeking one of the Day Student Senator positions. I would like to represent the Day Student population, but above all, strive for better conditions and relationships with the entire student body and University government. As a Day Student Senator 1 will focus my attention on helping our commuter students gain more of a voice in University policy. One important aspect of my concern involves off- campus housing, and the problems that students have securing a place to live where they are safe from unexpected rent hikes or similar problems. One other important concern as a Day Student Senator will be the treatment of the Veterans on our campus-the majority of whom live off-campus. I look forward to working with the veterans and hope that through the senate they will be able to have the better representation that they need. 1 feel that this year's elections are the most iinportant at WCU in many years, and I hope that the support of both the Day and On-Campus students will be given. If elected, I hope to work closely with the other Senators and the newly- elected officers for next year. Once again, I am asking for your support, which will be greatly appreciated. Yours truly, Day Student Senator Candidate, Mark Finley To Everyone, It is very disheartening to witness the large degree of apathy found today. It's a crippling disease to our entire society. People ask, what can I do, I am only one person. As an individual they can do little, but as a part of a larger unity they can invoke action, produce change, and create a better world. We are very fortunate to live in a nation which affords us such power. Abe Lincoln expressed very well the reality of united strength in his statement about a divided house being incapable of standing. To illustrate the point, say 300 people working as individuals can accomplish little, but by people working as individuals can accomplish little, but by combining their efforts, they become more capable of achieving success. An apathetic situation is very apparent on our campus. It was evident by the voting turnout during the recent elections. If something goes wrong, there will be those who did not care enough to vote, that will pat themselves on the back and say "I had nothing to do with it." This is an utter absurd justification, because their mere lack of participation effects the situation. Another area of apathy here at WCU Concerns the Armed Forces veterans. If they would work together they stand to gain various benefits which many ar 3 unaware exist. Yet, most, apparently do not have the interest to obtain information of such things and how they can help. This information is available through the Veteran's Association. There is little hope for a better world if people continue to ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ follow their predecessors and not care enough to do anything about it. Someone once asked "Are you going to be a part of the problem or are you going to be a part of the solution?" Everyone should ask himself that question, keeping in mind he must live with the answer, If mistakes are to be made it is better to be a part of them than to have someone else make them for you. So, stand up and be counted when you are called upon to perform, because true strength comes by working together. Terry Turner Dear Students, It is well worth your time to carefully consider the candidates and voice your opinion at the polls on May 8, As a candidate for Editor of the CATAMOUNT, I want you, my fellow students, to know that I am concerned as to how your year at Western Carolina will be represented in your yearbook, I have been on the annual staff for two years serving as a staff member and now as an Associate Editor. During this time I have gained the skill and experience that is necessary to perform the duties of the position of editor. My aim is to give you an annual that represents all the students, one that you will be proud of, I would greatly appreciate your vote for me as Editor of the CATAMOUNT. Sincerely, Phyllis Snider Fellow Students, As election time approaches, I would like to urge all of you to turn out and vote Tuesday. My year as Dorm Senator has given me the experience and knowledge I feel is needed to hold the position of Senator at Large. I have worked on committees within the Senate this year, and have always tried to make decisions in the light of what the students wanted. I have a great interest in student rights and support a workable system of co-ed housing and express great opposition to mandatory housing contracts. I would appreciate your support for my candidacy as Senator at Large. I pledge myself not to wild promises, but to hard work. Thank you, Betsy Chapman
