  • PAGE 2 TUESDAY FEBRUARY 5, 1974 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN A Good Beginning The Student Government Association is finally getting on the right track. The senate last week, for practically the first time all year, began busying itself with reforms designed to aid the general student rather than passing resolutions dealing only with senate problems. The senate's unanimous approval of the purchase of a faculty evaluation kit and its endorsement of the Merit Insurance Plan are steps toward a better university. The evaluation kit is one drawn up by the Educational Testing Service (maker of the SAT and GRE), and has received national respect. When implemented in individual classes, the test will allow WCU professors to be compared to national norms. Such a method of evaluation could be used in consideration of tenure cases, and possibly WCU could initiate a system of promotion and pay raises based on student evaluation. This system is currently used at many colleges and universities. The Merit Insurance Plan is another good idea. Sponsored by N. C. insurance commissioner John Ingram, the plan calls for auto liability insurance to be based on driving records rather than sex, age, and marital status. For an unmarried male under 25 years of age to pay more than a convicted drunk driver over 25, and for single men to pay high rates until they are married, as is now the case, is outrageous. A safe driving record is a much more logical basis for the rate scale of liability insurance. With the support of universities in the North Carolina system, UNC student body presidents plan to lobby in the General Assembly in support of the merit insurance plan. Both the purchase of the faculty evaluation kit and the endorsement of the insurance plan were sponsored in the senate by SGA president Harold Rogers. We applaud these resolutions and hope that the senate and SGA will continue along this path toward better conditions for WCU students. line- Wi=5tth^ QARoLifyiAM Published twice weekly through the academic year and weekly during the summer by the students of Western Carolina University.

CAMPUSES AT go'c/oc* EACH EVENI^G/f W TKT- W,; O *3L *k CT K Here's The Tape Dear Editor, I was extremely disappointed in the article in the editorial section written by JWB entitled ''Stick 'Em Up". It was a very good example of poor reporting on his part, I found very little truth in the article. I am a member of Professor William R. I-atimer's 1:00 American Government class. I just happen to have a tope recording of the incident. The following is the dialogue which lasted thirty seconds. Only the student's name has been changed. Latimer: (in process of lecturing) "Cops foolingaround the classroom, what's this?" Campus Police: (opening the door quietly, not bursting in) "Hi, Excuse mo for interrupting your class. Could I see John Die please?" Latimer: "I don't think I care to have policemen interrupting my classroom!" ' Campus Police: "Is John Doe here?" Latimer: (John Die was in class at this time) "No he's not, please leave immediately! Don't interrupt my classroom.. Leave! Get out! You have no business here, get out!" Campus Police: "Would you like to take this up with Mr. Smith up at the office?" (in a whisper compared to Latimer's voice) Latimer: "Ah, Ah," (laughing sarcastically) "You send him to see me, remember that, don't come back in again. What's your name?" Campus Police: "Often, Bill Often." Latimer: "Don't ever come in again!" (door slams) Class lecture resumes after Latimer makes a few remarks about the above incident Notice that there is no mention of busting the student as stated by JWB Not! ?c that Ut« imer did not throw the policeman out as slated by JWB. Notice that the poiiceman did not storm into the classroom as stated by JWB. I do not believe that Latimer and his students are due an apology. This tape recording is available to those who wish to verify the truth in what has been written. Warren Shinn telephone: 293-9315 "To Die In Madrid" Shows Tragedy Of Spain In 1930's It has been nearly thirty- five years since the fall of the Spanish Republic in the spring of 1939 at the hands of General Franco. The physical scars of war have long since healed, and Spain has become a tourist mecca for Europeans and Americans alike. The memories of the civil war, however, have lingered on in the minds of thousands of Spaniards in exile who have hoped against hope that "el Caudillo" by James A. Lewis would finally die and they could return home without fear of retaliation. Families whose sons and husbands were not lucky enough to reach the French border in 1939 and who disappeared into the prisons of Franco's army also remember. And, of course, the memories are still alive among those related to the masses of Spaniards who died in battle around Saragossa, Toledo, Teruel, Bilboa, and Cirvna Presents Qlllowhee Gets New Postmaster .... FROM PAGE 1 and that he hopes that students will be present to speak as well as to listen. Bochner, who describes himself as a "Leftist" and " a democrat with a small 'd' ," plans to answer as many questions as possible. Two short Chilean films will be shown at 2:30: "Vencera- mos," (which means "We Shall Overcome") a documentary on the victory of the Popular Unity coalition in 1968; and "Cam- pamento," a documentary on life in a leftist shanty-town during the Allende years. Bochner described both films as being "leftist" and "politically b'.ased" and said "Many things in the films are good, but many are biased". After a break for supper, the symposium will reconvene at 7:30, with Bochner and Hansen presenting their observations based on personal experiences. All Interested persons are urged to attend and there will be no charge for admission. A new postmaster has been appointed for Cullowhee. Southern Regional Postmaster General Carl C. Ulsaker announced Friday that Billy N. Barham was assuming the post. Barham was born in Summer- field, N.C, entered the Postal Service as a clerk in the Greensboro post office in 1961, and has been serving as assistant station superintendent at the Summit Station in Greensboro since February of last year. He is married to Gloria S. Barham and they have two children. Postmaster selections are made from amongpostal career people by the Regional Management Selection Board, which is composed of businessmen, educators, and Postal Service personnel. Madrid. "To Die in Madrid" is a masterful documentary of the Spanish Civil War. Military observers, photographers, and newspaper reporters from all over the world covered the conflict and left their impressions behind in photographs and news™ reels. Director Frederic Ros- sif has tapped this reservoir of visual information about the war. In order to tie the pictorial record together, Rossif supplied a superb narration which has been translated into English, and he includedanumber of Spanish songs from the 1930's, Yet the main bond that holds "To Die in Madrid" together is the subject matter itself and the director's feel for the tragedy that was Spain from 1936 to 1939. The viewer should be forewarned that a documentary film does not necessarily claim to be objective. No one has yet been able to approach the Spanish Civil War in a dispassionate manner and Rossif is no exception. There is a message in the film and there was a difference between Franco and the Republicans. "To Die in Madrid" will be shown Tuesday night, February 5, 1974, at 7:30 p.m. in Forsyth Auditorium. Immediately following "To Die in Madrid," a short film on Chile entitled "Vencere- mos" will be shown. "Ven- cermos" is a film made by a student film group at the University of Chile just after Allende's government came to power. "Vencercmos" is one of two films to be shown Wednesday, rebruary 6 at Ciruna's Chile Day.
