  • PAGE 4 THURSDAY APRIL 25. 1974 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Amendment needed Tuesday night the SGA supreme court handed down what we think was a bad decision. What the court said, in effect, was that anyone who drops a course with a grade of "W" and in so doing falls below a load of 11 quarter hours in ineligible to run for many SGA offices. "W" grades are becoming popular alternatives to incompletes and failures. The supreme court, we believe, has excluded a number of otherwise well- qualified candidates from running for office. What is needed now is a constitutional amendment which would spell out a reasonable definition of "full-time student" for the purposes of SGA elections, one which conforms to other university policies. Sign your letters This week we received several letters to the editorial which we could not publish. We could not print them because the letter writers failed to sign their names. As we have said before and undoubtedly will have to say again, a letter to this newspaper must be signed by the writer. If the poor soul wants the public to read his letter but is not willing to let the public know who wrote it, then we will insert the words "name withheld by request" at the close of the epistle. We don't like to do it, but we will if the writer asks us, in person. We require letters to be signed for a number of reasons. We want to know who wrote a letter because the editors of this paper are liable in a court of law for everything said in the paper, including the letters. And if a letter is signed but nevertheless contains information that amounts to libel, then we will not publish it anyway. Some folks seem to think that they can say what they want to and not be accountable for it. Maybe so, but not in this newpspaer. We are held accountable for everything we print. We are on the firing line all the time, ready and willing to answer for all the news and opinions we publish. It is not too much to ask, then, that a person who writes a letter be required to sign it. If you aren't willing to sign it, then we aren't willing to print it. It's as simple as that. Tte We^n^rA.

Rules for the Special Olympics are the same as those for the World Olympics. The minimum age limit for the •event is eight, but there is no upper age limit. The Special Olympics Program, developed by the Kennedy Foundation to provide athletic training and competition for the mentally handicapped, is acclaimed by many as the most exciting national program ever undertaken for the retarded. It began with a single To the Editor, There seems to be two sets of "laws" here at WCU, one for the students and another for the staff and faculty. On April 9, I had the opportunity to watch one of our law officers in action. Pen in hand, he busily wrote parking tickets for all student cars parked along the drive entering the Leatherwood and Helder lot between Helder and Scott. But when the officer came to meet in 1968 for 1,000 children and has grown to some 1,400 meets administered by Special Olympics organizations in 49 states, Canada and France, The biggest need of the Special Olympics program is for funds to go towards buses and expenses so that area winners might attend the State Special Olympics meet in Raleigh on May 14. The Y.A.R.C, is a non-profit organization mad.' up of volunteers, Inter- ested persons or those wishing to made a contribution can contact Gene Copley at 293-9370, a car with an "S" sticker, he just looked the other way and went about his business. A car, if it is indeed blocking a drive, is blocking that drive no matter if it is a student's or a staff or faculty member's car. The Cullowhee Five-0 Squad should be able to understand this concent- I think it is time f >r Pritchard Smith and the boys to either enforce the "laws" uniformly or not at all.
