Page 6 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Equality for students Western Carolina students have always received harsh treatment from law enforcement officers and judges here. The drug trials last month only serve to amplify that inequity. Break-ins and petty and grand larceny occur nearly everyday here, and it is nearly impossible to get the sheriff's department to seriously investigate the crime. Instead, most of the reports are referred to the campus security patrolmen who have not been trained in high-level crime investigation. Quite to the contrary, the State Bureau of Investigation has agents on campus almost daily making inquiries into suspected drug pushers' backgrounds. That's not to say that drug sales should be ignored, but the university should not be considered as the only traffiking point for contraband drugs. But the SBI will continue to concentrate on the university because it is relatively easy to catch small time operators here, and students don't have parents with local political muscle to bring pressure on the force. Despite its state-wide reputation, the local SBI enforcement should not be regarded as one beyond question. Hiring students to make buys is one thing, but not being careful enough to make sure the volunteers are not out seeking revenge or might be sellers themselves is quite another. On the judicial side, Judge Lacy H. Thornburg presents a strong argument for legislature-imposed fixed sentences. That idea, proposed last month by state Supreme Court Judge James G. Exum, would curb the arbitrary power practiced and misused by Thornburg and others. The six former students received punishment far out of line with the nature of their offense. Apparently, Thornburg does not believe in a person's ability to reform from selling drugs. Hope that a more equitable law enforcement program might find its way to Jackson County soon seems to be futile. Definitely, it is the best policy now to stay within the confines of the law, because "when you get caught here, you're in for the hassel of your life." llTmEr Vvf=S"TErPfc CaRdLiMIAM Published twice weekly through the academic year and weekly during the summer by the students of Western Carolina University.

LETTER Help support Food Day Dear Editor, —Only about 40 percent of Americans eligible for food stamps currently receive them. —The American meat-based diet deprives the world of 18 million tons of cereal protein, an amount almost equal to the world's protein deficiency. —Americans consume, on the average, about one hundred pounds of sugar each year. Some foods—sugar-coated cereals, for instance—contain up to 50 per cent sugar. —40 million Americans are overweight; almost half die of heart disease. Soaring food prices, increasing world food shortages, and mounting evidence of the dangerous health effects of the overly processed and refined American diet indicate that, if left to its own devices, the federal government will not take the steps necessary to develop a responsible food policy. The food industry—the corporations that bring you Cool-Whip and Twinkies—have sold Americans on a diet of sugar-laden, fat-rich "convenience" foods that are contributing to a national epidemic of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and obesity. While encouraging unhealthy eating habits through advertising and availability, these corporations are also contributing to high food prices. A Federal Trade Commission study estimated that consumers were overcharged $2 billion in 1972, because of the monopolistic structure of several segments of the food industry. As government and corporate decision-makers allow the food situation to deteriorate further, it becomes clear that individuals and organizations in communities and campuses across the nation will have to begin a massive education effort—an effort aimed at changing personal eating habits; improving food welfare programs; reforming corporations that promote the sale of billions of dollars worth of nutritionally-empty, resource- squandering junk foods; investigating the energy-and resource-intensive practices of agri-business that are forcing small farmers off the land; and developing national policies which recognize the needs of hungry people at home and abroad. This job requires a national organizing effort. The non-profit Center for Science in the Public Interest, in conjunction with dozens of other groups and individuals, is building a movement to take on this task, a movement that will blossom on "Food Day," a national day of action on the food crisis. Food Day is set for April 17. I hope that college and university.students will take part in Food Day, using their campuses as organizing focal points for both campus- and community- oriented activities. As a first step in accomplishing this, students and faculty should set up joint committees to investigate what can be done at your campus, such as creating a campus-community garden or food co-op, initiating sweeping changes in university food-buying policies, or planning massive teach-ins for April 17. The food problems which face the nation and the world demand immediate action, and there are dozens of things you can do now. These include: —Find out how much fertilizer your university uses to keep its lawns green, and request that such wasteful use of this critically-needed resource be halted. —Request that at least half the selections in vending machines on campus contain wholesome snack foods—fruit, ruit juice, yogurt, unsalted nuts and seeds, etc—instead of junk foods. —Contact local consumer, environmental, or Public Interest Research Groups (PIRG) to find out what activities can be undertaken in your community. The rise of the environmental movement and the end to direct American involvement in the Vietnam War are directly traceable to campus activity. The students of America can once again make a commitment to actions that can result in long- overdue changes in the way in which the Federal government, corporate America, and individuals decide how and to whom food will be allocated. Sincerely, Michael Jacobson FOOD DAY coordinator Center for Science in the Public Interest Washington, D.C.
