  • THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1 EditoriaL The North Carolina State Senate has once again proved that politics is money . The senate appears to have been swayed more by pressure from corporate lobbyists than by real concern for the well-being of its sixtcen-institution university system. The tabling of the Ramsey-Adams Bill—which would have resulted in an appropriation of over $5 million for WCU library expansion—will have the effect of delaying the possible planning and construction of additional WCU library facilities and capital improvements on other UNC campuses for at least one more year. The situation here is critical. The condition of Hunter Library has been termed by those who work closest with the library as a crisis. The American Library Association has determined that the library facilities here at Western arw grossly inadequate. It is foolish lo assume ours is the only school suffering with these problems or similar problems. This situation may seem somewhat paradoxical when one considers that the slate has been increasing its aid to private institutions, increasing tuitions in the UNC system, while apparently allowing the institutions bearing the title of University of North Carolina to fall deeper into a state of educational dysfunction. This is not to say the state doesn't care about its UNC students, but it might indicate more concern on the part of its legislators for comfortable, less frietlonal relationships with companies in the state rather than concern for the improvement of its educational programs. This editorial will be labled by many as an unrealistic, idealistic response to a widely accepted economic incongruity. We hope it will be recognized by more as a real response to a desperately real and shamefully obvious economic situation in which monetary influence plays a more decisive role than the pertinent needs of one of the state's most valuable and renewable resources: the present and future students enrolled in its institutions of higher learning. Perhaps the state wishes to 'educate' Its college students about one of the more putrid 'realities of life...' in the current play being presented here at WCU, the character of Clarence Darrow shares with us his view on a strikingly similar situation: "I do not believe in socialism, but I do believe that government ownership of railroads is better than railroad ownership of government." Paraphrased to best suit our needs, 'legislative control over corporations is better than corporate control over legislature.' Darrow won his case and so, perhaps, can we. —Editor Carolinian requires gusto! Ever wonder what it would be like to become a glorious star of the glamorous fourth estate? Would you like to have your friends call you (and have history remember you as) "Scoop," "Bernstein Jr.," or "The Muckraker?" I vcr dream that your pen and paper combinations could change the world, or at least a little part of it? Are classes and parties conducted at this, the Highest Institution of Learning in the Central Part of Jackson County, just not challenging enough to keep you from being bored? If you have ever wondered, liked, dreamed, or felt these things (or even if you haven't) and can write with something harder than a crayon, we want you at the Western Carolinian. Why? To write newsstories. feature articles, columns of opinion, sports stories, amusing shorts, investigative projects, etc. The money is bad, the hours impossible, the editing (we try) slipshod, the benefits unbelievable, the typewriters old. the staff inconspicuous, and the atmosphere euphoric. To join the staff, you must be a student taking a full-time load and passing half of it, you must be able to communicate in adequate English, you must be able to take criticism (even if it seems like the pot calling the kettle black) from the editors, you must be cleared by the CAP Center, and you must be able to defend yourself in class when your professor starts cutting down your stories in the paper. If you have the guts, grab all the gusto you can get by stopping by the Carolinian offices in Joyner 10 on any Wednesday. Ask for News Editor Tony Brown or Editor-in-Chief Rick Eichhorn. Go get 'em "Scoop!" ACOMICSTRIP by Charlie Lawing ,.sAKit>^\SrCOWClU^U% OF * FoR-mesPoOToerrf TUNE.
