  • Page 4 editorial THE WESTERN CAROLINA THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1976 ROTC Beginning next fall, students at WCU will be given a chance to enroll in a new program which will, according to Chancellor Robinson, "offer outstanding leadership training, various forms of financial aid, academic enrichment, and excellent job options upon graduation." There are no doubt a few cynics left who believe these rewards should be an intrinsic part of their college education. Of course, given our administrations time-warp mentality, it is fitting that a new program must be brought in to accomplish the desired ends. Well, what gift do they bestow upon us? New majors? Faculty additions? More books? No. We get ROTC. Through carefully orchestrated public relations, our administration convinced the voters that a new library was superfluous. Instead, as we now know, we can eagerly await a new combination administration building, mountain heritage center. That worked well. Now we are to believe that if only we can get the ROTC program operational, this school can rally offer something to its students. To justify this, we are told that there are at least five hundred students clamoring for ROTC programming. There may well be five hundred people stumbling about campus ready to attach themselves to anything (i.e. KKK, POW, MAD, etc.). However, what is far more significant is that at least five hundred resent this intrusion into the academic community. Throughout the sixties, ROTC was the villain on-campus. While the war which prompted the University to reassess its relationship to the government has passed, the motives of the ROTC cadre have changed little. If Western is to ever achieve any semblance of academic distinction, the means must come from within the academic sector. To believe that ROTC will give students anything positive is ludicrous. BEWARE: Once WCU allows ROTC on campus, can Heavy Equipment School be far behind?

Letters: Timber Reform Act good Dear Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to inform the people of WNC of the impending National Forest legislation. Right now there are two major pieces of legislation before Congress con- cering the forests. The National Forest Timber Management Reform Act introduced by Senator Jennings Randolph (-West Virginia. S2926) and Congress- n George Brown (D-California, HR-1 14) national forest. This legislation: (1) limits the size of destructive clearcuts, (2)' protects wildlife and fishery resources, (3) prohibits mass cutting of immature trees (4) discourages even-age management and tree farming practices closely associated with clear cutting and (5) prevents the transfer of eastern hardwood forest to pulpwood tree species. This legislation does not eliminate destructive cuts. The second bill (S-3091), introduced by Senator Hubert Humphrey (D-Minnesota), and a similar bill (HR-12503), introduc- the counties for each acre of ed by Congressman Bizz Johnson National Forest land. This would (D-California), offer no restric- better than triple the 20 cent/acre tions that would effectively revenue which the counties in prevent the abuses of the forest WNC are now getting. Why not system. Iet y°ur Congressmen or Senators The Randolph-Brown bill will know how you feel, guarantee 75 cents in revenues to Richard R. Maggi Nothing to do?

Brown, Jr. Business Manager Frank Thomas The University Center parking iot was transformed into a race course in yesterday's UCB sports car slalom. A large crowd was treated to squealing tires and tightly manuevered cars, proving that you don't need to bring culture to Cullowhee to attract an audience, just a little excitement. There were 22 entries in three categories. Class A was for large American cars, Class B for sports cars, and Class C for small sedans. The drivers were given three attempts at the course, with their best time being used to determine the winners. Tom mble, using a combination of some heavy accelerating and a quick hand brake in his black Corvette, won Class A. John Cooke took Class B in a '64 Austin Healy. He had the best overall time ot the meet. Class C was won by Hugh Green in a '76 Sirocco. Chuck Smith, although he did not place, thrilled the crowd with a smoking Camaro.
