  • editorial Contacts It seems that every year we must restate our editorial policy concerning what contacts get in and what contacts don't. This is our first |and with any luck, last| comment about the matter this year. Contacts and newsbriefs are printed on a first-come, first-served, space-permitting basis. If there is am room anywhere we try to do our best to get your little bit in. But we cannot get al! of them in. Since we publish contacts and briefs at no charge, we really cannot pay someone to keep up with them if somebody wants his contact run, say, in three issues. Therefore, if one wants his contact run more than once, he must bring it up to the office in Joyner the day before he wants it run. The deadline is 5 p.m. Monday for Tuesday's paper and 5 p.m. Wednesday for Thursday's paper. We also maintain a policy of taking no contacts or 'briefs over the telephone because we were wrong about something in too many of them and got bitched at when we used to take them over the phone. We really do want to help you. But it's like the old newspaper saying goes: "Type is not rubber: you can only stretch it a little bit." 'Let's be buddies Cooney and Jimmy are our friends, and we don't like to see their names and honors abused by a few carefree students. The Fradies and Buchanans lived around here long before any of us ever heard of the place. Maybe even before WCU came into its precarious existence. At any rate, they are the ones who have a "right" to be here in Cullowhee. The shopkeepers surely cannot be asked to revert to old Lester Maddox tactics of using axe handles to chase patrons lyes, with money | out of their establishments because a few students are upset. And these few students-do they really have any room to complain about the behavior of Jimmy and Cooney? From our own observations, and from what we have been told by the WCU Traffic and Security office, we conclude that when Jimmy or Cooney do get a little over-rowdy it is because they are urged on by students, given drinks by students, and otherwise pushed into doing what is complained about by students. We think Jimmy and Cooney are models for the rest of us to follow, as a matter of fact. They are polite unless urged to be otherwise, yet have a good time without causing too many people too much hassle too much of the time. A pattern which more students ought to follow on campus. As Jimmy says, "Let's be buddies." We do not mean to imply that the students who have written letters of complaint about the pair are guilty of pushing them into doing anything stupid. We just want to be buddies. Sheltered workshop Dear Editor. In all due regards to the people who've written letters in support of Jimmy and Cooney, I wish to ask them to re-evaluate their position, especially when supporting Jimmy. Buchanan, though on the surface seems to be harmless enough, is a large man with obviously limited reasoning powers. Given his physical prowess, his known ill-temper and his mental inabilities. I say that Jimmy Buchanan is a potential danger to this community in his current state of unsupervised "play". The "hamlet" of Cullowhee and the campus of Western Carolina University are not shelterd workshops for the benefit of those persons in Jackson County who arc mentally incompetant, albeit the standards of admission are low. and it is quite ap- THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN THURSDAY OCTOBER 21, 1976 A CUfsKEMT CAMRUGN AT> : *One good way to decide this eledion'7 \^ nmiw\ (^uT fH^I ■ Cfi&untAil parent to this member of the WCU populace that . Jimmy is a danger which we ought not continue to pander to out of guilt, tolerance, or amusement. Like I said, Western is not a sheltered workshop for those less fortunately endowed than ourselves Yours, Greg L. Teetsell Thanks Dear Editor, On behalf of the Mountain Heritage Day committee, we would like to thank the many students, faculty and staff members who freely donated so much of their valuable time to help make the day a success. Neighborliness and willingness to help are among the things that Mountain Heritage Day celebrates, and we have concluded on the basis of this experience that they are alive and well in Cullowhee. We had too many helpers to permit naming each of them here, but we feel obliged to single out some of them. Our special thanks go to the Inter-Fraternity Council and the University Center Board, whose members gave up a Saturday morning in bed to set out tables, fences and trees; to the Industrial Technology Club for its help with the decorations; and to Buddy Clark of Tuckaseigee Valley Nursery, who lent us a large number of white pines.
