On Blaek Situation Daughtery Presents His Opinion bv Erik Kirzinger (Editor's note: Greg Daughtery is a junior at WCU majoring in art. The opinions he expressed in the interview are that of Daughtery as an individual and do not necessarily represent the views of all Blacks at WCU.) What is the pre for Blacks at PIZZA Means never having to say you're hungry. The world's best pizza. We Serve More Pizza Than Anyone Else In The World 905 Russ Ave © 1972 PIZZA HUT, INC. Waynesville , N.C. 452—5547 CAROLINIAN: sent situation WCU? DAUGHERTY: It is rather optimistic looking right now, but only optimistic in the sense that it's getting better than it was. The Black students on this campus need to become a little bit more involved. Many- Blacks feel that it is hard to become involved. There is still a belief that there is something in your way, but the only thing that seems to be in the way of a lot of Blacks around here is themselves. CAROLINIAN: You said that Blacks have come a long way at WCU. Could vou explain that? DAUGHTERY: The thingthat is looking better is just simply the social thing. The styles, and the types of Black students that we have on this campus has progressed alot. The total heads of Black students is picking up on this campus tremen" dously. You have people like those in the SGA and many other politically-minded Blacks, which is a sign of progress. You also have a lot more Black students becoming involved in school functions. An example of this will be an art show given by the Black art students coming up this spring, CAROLINIAN: How is the present situation for Blacks in the western part of North Carolina? DAUGHTERY: Well I think that the situation for Blacks is very bad. There is not much of a chance of much progress unless a lot more Black people start getting involved, but the best signs for Black people is in Asheville. CAROLINAN: What problems does WCU have that affect Black students here? DAUGHTERY: First of all there aren't any Black professors. There also aren't enough Black-oriented functions at this school that would interest Bl- Checked your Stylus Lately If you haven't changed your stylus or cartridge lately come by the Bridge and take advantage of the STYLUS & CARTRIDGE SALE 20% OFF QUIT RUINING YOUR EARS & RECORDS 80 The Bridge ™-™ acks, not that there are any functions that particularly interest the whites either. CAROLINIAN: How is the Black movement in general progressing? DAUGHTERY: I hate the term "Black" movement. Ithinkit's very impersonal. I just think of it as the situation of the Black people. It is, however, progressing. It is picking up and it seems that every year there is a little more progress. The main thing that is picking up is the number of Blacks that are becoming involved in the different things. To get ahead you must get involved 'cause you can't get started until you get into the car.'3 CAROLINAIN: What isthepre- sent situation for Blacks in the nationwide picture? DAUGHTERY: It's pretty good. There are a lot more jobs, there are a lot more good qualified Black teachers, law- yerss and doctorss etc. And because of this increasingnum- ber there has been a much more fertile basis for Blacks as in the case of college graduates to get as good or better jobs,, CAROLINAIN: Are you satisfied with the progress being made? DAUGHTERY: I'm satisfied with the fact that it has made a move, but I'm not satisfied with how fast it's moving. It's just going to take time before certain people can reach the positions needed to speed up the process. CAROLINIAN: You spent the first half of your life living in New York State. Was there a great transition that you were forced to make when you moved south to North Carolina? DAUGHTERY: I was eleven years old when I moved to N.C. and I immediately for the first time came to realize a racial hassle. There is a racial hassle that exists in the North, but it is more varied and subtle. CAROLINIAN: Has the relationship between Blacks and Whites made any progress at WCU? DAUGHTERY: Yes, I definitely feel that the progress made in the past two to three years has not only been enough to give Black students a long needed position in the university, but it also gives the university a better awareness of its Black students. However, on occassion a few Blacks discourage other Blacks from associating with WhiteSj just as many Whites discourage others from associating with Blacks. CAROLINIAN: How do you feel about "Dixie" being played at the football game? DAUGHTERY: The song "Dixie" has no heavy implications to me. It just kind of stinks from a heritage point of view, which, for some people means nothing, but to those that it does, it is a very aggravating and insulting anthem. The song to me is like a national anthem for the Confederacy and this is a portion of Black people's heritage which has been a part of their heritage for a longtime. I just don't particularly like the song for those sorted reasons. I think the song being played at the football games was once used as a racial slur, and in some ways still is. Gilman Announces For House Of Rep. Dr. Albert F. Gilman, WCU professor of mathematics, announced today as a Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from the 11th Congressional District. The announcement, was made at the Jackson County Court House, and followed by a press conference at the Sheraton Motor Inn in Asheville. Gilman is a professor of mathematics and former assistant vice-president of Western Carolina University. Since June, 1973 he has been Executive Director of the Republican Steering Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives. "The sense of power- lessness, disenchantment, and unease abroad in our land today calls for straight talk by candidates and it calls for a lot of listening by candidates," he said. In laying the blame for inflation, "the cruelest tax," on Congress, Gilman claimed, "the people should know about Congressmen who vote to save a few million dollars here and there for the record, and then, when the vote for final passage comes, invaribly vote to spend and inflate and devalue the dollar." "It is the bureaucracy and the Congress that feeds it with taxes and deficit spending that is costing us the great price we pay in loss of control of our local affairs," Gilman said. "If elected," Gilman promised to "come home to listen to the people nearly every weekend and not just during election year." Dr. Gilman, 42, received his Ph.D. in mathematics from Indiana University in 1963. He and Mrs. Gilman have five children and make their home in Cullowhee. Gilman was elected President-elect of the Sylva Rotary Club for 1973 and has been active in community and church affiars. Gilman apparently will oppose the Democrat incumbent representative Roy A. Taylor in the general election. fitnrinnrB'ra"a'6o 6 b b g n b 8 b b BTnnr8'8'8'»"BTB btb bn'innra~inrainr3 °o END WINTER BLAHS WITH /prfng Get Away The Most Fantastic Vacation Contest Ever!
