  • Letters Ebony students seek cooperation Being president of the Organization of Ebony Students, here at WCU, has been a privilege and a pleasure. In addition, it has been a hassle sometimes. Because the organization works for the interest of black students of this campus, it seems that a stigma has been placed upon the organization. This is unnecessary. We are just trying to fulfill a need that is so often neglected. Whv should we be persecuted for wanting to feed our souls. In talking to some WCU students about the organization, they have given me the impression that OES is a substitute for poison ivy or cancer. Whv should they feel this way, when they have had no dealings with the organization? They have either heard a lot or nothing at all. Many have said that they feel uncomfortable discussing the organization, or attending any of ils functions. Why are we watched with the many eyes of uncertainty? If this had been our first year as an organized group. 1 probably could understand the cool receptions we receive. This is our ninth year. 1 have only three favors to ask of WCU's administrative staff, faculty, and students. These many seem tremendous, but they are only humane courtesy. My first request is never let OES die. Although its special interest is ebony students, it offers lo share its wealth with every individual. Secondly, build the organization into a stronger, servicablc function. Do not make it attractive by weakening it. Give the organization a boost so that polled freshmen will know what it really is and seniors will not graduate ignorant of it. And thirdly, respect the ebony students for their efforts to hold fast to their identity. Believe me, our intentions are good, and worthwhile. With these things working, OES will be what it should. And to the ebony students. I ask you to continue to work until these things become a reality. Never let yourself be satisfied with little or nothing. You have so much to offer. Attack each opportunity to grow with all of your heart, strength, body, and mind. 1 would like to thank all of those who pursue this same dream. May I remind you that these include others who are not ebony students. I, along with the organization, commend the concerns of those persons who have taken steps to make the organization grow. Although I will he leaving this spring, my thoughts and heart can never stray away from the Organization of Ebony Students. It has made me wealthier, wiser, and more willing to be what I am....and to grasp that which belongs to me. We are strong. We must survive. Janice Townsend Judge not. . . . Dear Editor. Just a word or two on the weekend's unveiling of one of the great injustices of our time: the case of the Wilmington "fen. Mthotlgh a New Jersey minister's testimony states that Ben Chavis. one of the ten. was with him and not at the Feb. '71 fire-bombing for which he was convicted. and although records and testimony prove that the three prosecution witnesses were in fact bribed with money. gifts and favorable prison treatment, and although all three ol these prosecution witnesses have recanted their testimonies, which were the sole evidences used to convict the fen. a new trial for the case was denied! .lustice- for the Wilmington Ten was abused and perverted in D)72. and when the opportunity arose last Friday for some kind of reconciliation, it was simplv ibused and perverted sonic more. Ah. yes, let us shudder at the thought of political prisoners in Russia as we applaud Jimmy's stoning of Mr. Brezhnev from our house of glass. Redwoods exploited Dear Editor, The redwoods arc in danger. Continued logging of old growth redwoods is constantly endangering Redwood National Park in northern California and its fragile ecology. The park has already been severely damaged by clearciitting along its borders, increasing erosion and silting of Redwood Creek, and endangering the Tall Trees Grove; containing the world's tallest tree. Congressman Philip Burton (D-CA) has introduced legislation which needs support. This bill, HR 3813, would enlarge Redwood National Park and fully protect its streams against continued destructive logging. It would also offer federal funds for job retraining and rehabilitation for logging jobs which might be lost. Help us save these beautiful trees from destruction. If you would like additional information, please call or write us and we will be happy to send you any information we have. We have a slide show, and a short, color film whicb can also be sent for your use in fairs and Res : help. The redwoods are in danger. Dennis Dielerich Campaign Assistant, Sierra Club Security secure Dear Editor. Ibis is in response to the letter from the student who accuses Security ol being ticket-happy. Surely you don't believe that .Security could or would stand at every 10-minute parking space with a stopwatch. This would require an increase in both manpower and money. Instead of blowing your top. why not inform Security of the length of time you had been parked there'.' Usually thev will be very understanding, 1 have been ticketed many limes for parking illegally also. My main complaint is that freshmen take up parking spaces reserved for upperclassmen. I feel that Security should ticket heavily in these areas and if necessary low these cars out of the parking lot. iwn pen an overall good job. Not only do they have to I concerned with parking problems, but thev also have deal with rowdy people on campus, theft, vandalism, ai destruction of private property. I for one would like commend the Campus Police for a job well done. lane Burris Too many rocks Dear Editor. We have a problem in Cullowhcc. The problem is we have too much rock and debris in the streets. This may not be of any bother to some people, but for me and many others it presents a real problem. There are a lot of skateboarders in Cullowhcc these days and many falls occur due to rocks jamming under the wheels. This can cause serious injury, but worst of all it is bothersome for those wishing to find a safe place to ride. Rocks and debris are also responsible for the destruction of roads. Recently, downtown Cullowhee was resurfaced and has a beautiful new black-top. The road is now covered with dirt and rocks due to trucks carrying rocks to a construction site in the Cullowhcc area. When cars run over these rocks, thev cause friction and eventually will loosen the pavement, thus destroying the road. for those of us who enjoy walking barefooted, the debris is very hazardous. Often people get cut because of glass or beer can tops and main people get stone bruises on their feet if thev do not walk carefully. These are just a few of the hassles caused bv debris ami rocks in the streets. There is no need tor this problem when there is such a simple solution. The solution is obviously a street sweeper. WCU has a need tor this type of machine and can make it worth the investment. It will definitely improve the appearance of the streets and parking lots and most of all it will be a big help in beautifying Western Carolina University.
