  • PAGE 4 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN THURSDAY JANUARY 23, 1975 Ignoring students Tuesday night's meeting between the campus leaders and the students came off less than satisfactorily for students here concerned with the campus. Several of the students who had organized the meeting left realizing their desires to make changes here had been ignored. It is really frustrating for students who have good ideas to go to those meetings and be given simplistic, run-around answers to legitimate questions. But even more frustrating is that they can't even get the chancellor of the university to meet with them. Apparently "Cotton" Robinson has set a policy which will isolate him from student contact by sending vice chancellor for student development Glenn Stillion out to "tame" the students. If that's the policy, Stillion is going to have to come up with more answers than the bush-beating he demonstrated Tuesday night. When President Alex Pow and Chancellor Jack Carlton lead the university, somewhat regular "rap sessions" were held with the students, and every top level administrator attended to be quizzed, challenged or rebuked by any student who had gripes against them. Now we have an administration that's bent on controlling the students, keeping their noses in the books, and not letting them have a firm voice in decisions made here that affect them. That policy had better change. Smoking rules More and more these days, non-smokers are beginning to assert their right to breathe clean air. We support and urge them on. In classrooms — especially in winter with windows closed — a smoking neighbor can be terribly annoying as well as harmful to one's health. To protect the non-smoker, we suggest that each class decide either to ban smoking or make a special section for smokers. There's no reason why the non-smokers should be required to breathe the noxious smoke. Bring it up in class tomorrow. Cut the lights Yesterday afternoon at about five o'clock nearly every classroom in McKee was empty, but all their lights were burning brightly. No doubt most of the other buildings on campus were the same way. We're asking that the professors and students work together to turn off these lights when not in use and quit wasting electricity. While the few fluorescent lights may not use a tremendous amount of energy, turning them off will make a difference in the electricity bill and save a valuable resource at the same time. While this is an oftrberated subject, it's one that hasn't inspired nearly enough people to cooperate in an effort to conserve electricity. Turn those lights off on the way out of the rooms. TllEr Wl=5TEiato C_AI?nLlfWlAM meet "the pi>e$§ Questions still unanswered from page 3 a voice from the back. Well, that's Russ Stevens's fault again — I guess he should be here, says Chat Sue, outloud this time. We ran out of money, is what happened, you understand ~ if Russ was here he could tell you, says the $26,000 -a-year vice chancellor. Another voice from the back: "Where's the Chancellor? We want to talk to him." Stillion decides to joke a little. "I don't know, I haven't seen him too much lately. The last time I saw him, he was headed the other way..." "Was he headed toward State?" yells a familliar voice from the audience, stealingStil- lion's punch line. Stillion suddenly realizes these students really do want the Chancellor toshoutat. Thinking quickly, he begins one of his more frequent soliloquies. I'm in charge of all student matters, the Chancellor wants it that way, says Stillion. If there's any blame around here, it's mine, not the Chancellor's, He doesn't know anyth — I mean, he's a very busy man, and can't be concerned with stu — I mean... How many feet can one man put in his mouth at one time? All day dorm visitation is the next topic thrown out. Stillion and Sue smile now, this is an easy one. We did a survey last year and no one wanted it, says Stillion. Yea, and it's worse in Florida, adds Sue. Survey? Florida? No one knows anything about a survey, or cares what it's like in Florida. "It was your survey, so it was your results", mutters one angered student. By this time, half the audience has left to get a breath of fresh air. Stillion's having a private discussion with a stu« dent in the corner of the room, while Clemmer's telling the audience that they get second- class service from the phone company because they're students. Then it's over. Whew. Time to test the audience's gullibility. Terry Drum, Al= bright-Benton's hall president seems to be as good a person as any to talk to first. "Run- around," he says. "That's why 50 per cent walked out." Encouraging. "I've been in Cullowhee too long to believe what I heard tonight," says another student. "Bullshucks," comments another. "Hey, I've got a headline for you," says the hall vice president as he waves for me to come over. "B.B.S. — a new Epidemic for Cullowhee." (The first "B9S is for bureau- cratics, the second for...) Mike Gray, a member of the Chancellor's Advisory Committee, agrees: run-around. "The advisory committee has met only twice all year and the Chancellor was there only once," he says. From other students more comments of a similar vein, some printable, others not. Yes, very encouraging.

The fifth annual Western Carolina University High School Mathematics Contest will be held April 24 on the WCU campus. Sponsored by the WCU Department of Mathematics, the contest is open to students at high schools and junior high schools in Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Macon, Swain, Jackson, Haywood, Transylvania, Henderson, Buncombe, Madison, Polk, Rutherford, McDowell, Yancey and Mitchell counties. According to Ralph Willis, WCU assistant professor and contest chairman, the event is designed to stimulate interest in mathematics and to honor outstanding mathematics students. There will be four divisions of competition: algebra I, algebra II, geometry, and comprehensive. The number of contestants each school may enter in each division depends on the school's enrollment in that subject. Plaques and certificates of merit are among the prizes to be awarded to contest winners. Top students in the senior level comprehensive division will receive WCU scholarships. My Answer "My Answer" by Brooks ■anders, which regularly appears on Thursdays, is not in this issue of The Western Carolinian 3ue *o Sander's recent contraction of the flu. Hopefully, he will be well soon and bring his column back to these pages.
