  • AGE 16/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/ JANUARY 12, 1978 Carolinian improving? RCMOTP In our never ending struggle to upgrade the quality of Cullowhee life (we try, anyway) the Western Carolinian has taken on a few new features. Already implemented in this issue is our national news feature, "Around the Nation" with highlights of national events of the week. Also in the workings is a full-si/.ed classified ads section which will replace "Contacts." The old "Contacts" will remain as a section of the classifieds, ""his service is still free to all students, faculty, and community residents, and will result in a more rganlzed, easy-to-read public forum. Look for it in \( week's issue. This winter, we'll be offering weekly ski reports and the weather cooperates, there will be some good .iing locally. Charlie Lawing's incomparable cartoons will take on a new look beginning with this issue, featuring Doc Chant and his comrades at Small Town U. And as always, we encourage all to write us concerning anything of interest to us here at Western. —Editor 'Disgruntled' lucky Dear Editor, The "Disgruntled Student," (Western Carolinian, 12/8/77 (who wanted changes in the registration procedures doesn't know how lucky he really is. I'm a five-year verteran of Western. This person has not had to stand in line for three to four hours in the freezing cold when the lines for registration started on the third floot the UC and stretched across the DC lawn and ied across the road to Dodson Cafeteria. The students went by classification and not by time or QPR. seniors went on Mon., juniors on lues.. Sophomores on Wed. Thursday was for the freshman and Friday was leftover day. This semester was the smoothest ever. Mr. Disgruntled had better count his blessings because he never had it so good. Many thanks to those who have given so much of their time to help us with our registration. DAVID ( ASHION Scott mud Dear Editor, After going down to my car one day last week and finding that the mud was level with the door. I decided it was time to gripe. My car, by the way, is parked in Scott overflow -infamously known as Scott Mudholc. It is totally unnecessary for the underclassman "parking lot" to be in such a mucky and muddy condition. Underclassmen have to pay as much as anyone else to park. Why can't a school the size of WCU keep gravel on the freshman parking lot? After all it is less costlv than paving it. Also if grass seeds were sown on the bank above the parking lot, the mudslides which arc frequent during the rainy season could be prevented. These solutions to the problem are simple and together they would bring Scott Mudhole back to the level worthy of being called Scott Overflow. Sincerely yours, KIM TRAYWICK Unfinished work Dear Editor, The investigation begun by the Ad-Hoc Committee to study voter registration last semester has not even scratched the surface. There is no denying the fact that the committee has accomplished more than any other group fighting Jackson County (i.e. Zeke Sossomon and Agnes Fisher) but they still have left many things undone. ,FBAWIWerx 'DOC CHAW THIS IS A COMk eptyW 7H& rs... ...

FUtwrr AMlTA / 'Kr^'i'MV .idliiiiu-u I personally do not want to see the work done by the committee headed by former Sen. Phil Cates fall by the wayside. Two of its original members (Vann Kilpatrick and Thornton Wooding) are no longer with the committee but several people have expressed interest in being on the committee. Even though some of the problems in student registration have been solved the county still has the right to reject any application il chooses which is a denial of a person's right to vote. Another problem that still faces Cullowhee is its right to become a township. Many residents of the area don't like the idea because they believe it would raise the taxes. This is not necessarily true. A tax could be K\ ied on alcoholic beverages (which would immediately pass through legislation if WCU sticks to form) and grants would be given by the state upon becoming a township. Others nave tried to incorporate Cullowhee but died in the red tape of Jackson County politics. Let's see il WCU can get Wikc Inc. for once. Yours, EDDIE YANDI.E 'We the people' Dear Editor, Can "WE THE PEOPLE" do unto ourselves as we would have others do unto us? An example is the best measure of our integrity quotient. By merging our southern and northern jurisdictions, our Scottish Rite can promote harmony between our states. By making the bottom line of their pay schedules that amount which will enable their lowest paid employees to pay net income taxes, our Bankers can lead the managers (those of us with a say in how much any one of us will be paid) of our free (responsible) enterprise economy to enable us to operate our Republic with a budget surplus. By limiting the terms (years) any one of us may serve as a manager in any one position in our Governments, Businesses, Unions, Schools and Etc., we can improve the quality of our systems. Because the problems in our future are inherent in the solutions in our present, eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. By staffing our military treatment facilities, our Doctors can demonstrate some understanding of the inherent responsibilities (which they accepted by remaining in the United States after their 18th birthday) of citizenship in our Republic. By living within our laws, we strengthen our Constitution (social contract). Ignorant, mentally maladjusted and minatory automatons run Dictatorships. Knowledge being the route to liberty (opportunity), an Education Department will help each of us do our share to provide for the "common defense and general welfare" of "WE THE PEOPLE". Respectfully, HUGH D. DUDLEY PS: When we charged our Congress with the authority/responsibility to provide for our "...common defense and general welfare...", do you agree that we understand then as we understand now that without either we can have neither?
