  • Tine- IZj^LMm VOl* E OF THE STI'IHLMS VOL, XXXIX NO. 55 THURSDAY MAY 2, 1974 WES TERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY CULLOWHEE, NCRTH CAROLINA Candidates campaign at forum For editor . . . Seven candidates for Editor and Business Manager of the Western Carolinian and for Student Senator-at-large spoke last night at a forum given by the Leatherwood Residence Hall Government, Bill Drury, who is opposing Dwight Sparks for Editor of the Carolinian, was first to speak, The senior psychology major promised 'to broa = den the base' of the Carolinian next year and destroy the 'myth' that the newspaper is 'cliquish.' Drury, with five quarters of experience on the paper's staff, said the proper role of the paper is stated on its flag, "Voice of the Students." He said the Carolinian should "serve the needs of the students." Dwight Sparks, a senior political science major and current News Editor of the Carolinian, stated that the paper should be used as a tool 'to check anyone taking advantage of the students,' Without the paper, he said, students would be subject to any whim of the administration, Sparks also spent time answering charges of an anonymously published leaflet urging students "to vote against Sparks," He told the Leather- wood audience that the Housing Committee he was appointed to. but attended only once, did nothing all year except conduct one poll. He said he had conducted a similar study himself the year before, but no action was taken on it. Pausing to allow Bill Drury to explain that he had "nothing to do with the leaflet," Sparks asserted that two of the charges leveled against him were totally false. As for voting against the bill that called for an end to the English Proficiency Test, Sparks admitted this was true, He added that considering the way the leaflet attacking him was written, there is a need for the test. . . . and senator Four candidates vying for Senator=at= large seats attended the forum. According to a Leatherwood government official, all the candidates were invited - ",.,sorae just didn't show up." Steve Sherman, sounding knowledgeable and determined, attacked this year's Senate "for its apathy and preoccupation with internal bickering," "There are senators who never sa.v anything, who never even vote," He condemned the un- seriousness of the current se= nate. "Once a candidate is e- lected, that should be only the beginning of his job, He should represent his constituents and serve their needs,'' said the freshman known as "Connecticut." Sherman also deplored the "monkey trials and kan- garoo courts of the SGA court system, ' 'Court reform is badly needed," he said, I'nder Sherman's plan, part of this reform would be the creation of a housing court staffed by a justice from each residence hall, because "residence hall people will know what's going on ia residence halls," He also wants this court to be able to correct wrongs committed by housing officials, Other changes ad» vocated by Sherman included paving all the gravel parking lots and building effective residence hall governments. David Cashwell, a write-in candidate, also hit the Senate for its internal squabbling this year, "Somebody's got to go in there and do something - SGA needs a better attitude," Cashwell said he intended to file for office but was confused as to when filing dates were over, "Sounds like a hassel", (write-in votes), says one of his handouts, "but I'll work my ass off," Cashwell advocates more liberalized visitation - "like in Leatherwood," and plans to encourage students to take a more active part in SGA. "The Student Senate should have more power than the Faculty Senate," he said. Noting that SGA and the administration traditionally don't work well together, Cash- well promised that he would favor taking strong actions to make the administration listen to our demands, "including class boycotts," Turn to page 8, please.
