  • PAGE 16/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/APRIL 13, 1978 Candidates: ^E? Flease remove paper promises from campus We hope that none of the candidates elected Tuesday have made paper promises...we also hope all of the candidates will be responsible enough to pull down their promises on paper—the zillion posters, ad nauseaum, all over campus. Janitors are not responsible for this kind of litter. Lei's see some of those self-proclaimed "hard working" candidates on the job. Thank R. A.'s Dear Editor, I'd like to say thank you to a group of young women who hardly, if ever, get a thank you said to them for a job well done. They an' a ver> deserving group who will do anything lor vou. All you need to do is show them a little respect and the tact that they are human like everyone else. This group of young ladies are the RA's in Helder. Although they have jobs to do, they have feelings and friends just like anyone else. They know the troubles that we as students go through because they too have problems just like us. Sonic people look at these young women as causing trouble because of some of the things Ihey must do. These young women aren't trying to cause trouble, they are trying to help us. They only do things to us because we ask for it. Most of the time they try to understand and help bill, if no one listens to them, then they do get a little mean. This is part of their job and therefore, they musl do things that sometimes makes us a little irritated at them. However, all in all they do a super job and we a residents of Holder should be pleased to have such a group of RA's. The following are the RA's in Helder: Donna Winbon, Karen Littrell, Jody Ham, Debby Giroux, Susan Friesch, Peggy Benton, Cathy Oliver, Debby Self, and Cheryl McAlphin. Head Resident. To these RA's I'd like to say thanks for a job well done. You are great. Name withheld by request Clean litter Dear Editor, We at WCU are extremely fortunate in having our campus situated in one of the most beautiful spots in the country, and now that spring is upon us we cannot help but be that much more appreciative. In speaking of this appreciation there is one shortcoming. With the ever-increasing population on the campus' notorious "beaches" the litter is multiplying along with the "savage tans." There is nothing that distracts from the surroundings as much as the tell-tale beer cans and candy wrapper remains left by those enjoying the sun. With a little effort our campus can and should be left enjoyable for everyone. Ann Crowley Help!!! Dear Editor, There is a magazine formally named THE NOMAD on campus, the only problem is a lack of a place in which to do the layout work. We have had an "office" since the beginning of this semester, but the Outing v^-twcfAuvoo HhV lUAAlNP? WM^UVrT TYUNK-PWAHTIM fflWJflBfc 1ru\T>v MOT WHAT Club had the room in Joyner lasl semester and have not removed their equipment and various other miscellaneous items. Another problem: there is a burnt out circuit serving this room, so we have no lights. These problems aren't verv conducive to readying THE NOMAD for distribution before the end of April—our deadline. However we are travailling our coccyx to publish your magazine. The Nomad Staff Food here bad Dear Editor, By the time one graduates from this institution of higher education, he or she can wade through quick sand (or park in lower Scott lot), become a race driver (or get to Sylva from Leatherwood in five minutes and not get caught), or get a job as an automatic pin-setter at a bowling alley, but he or she has to be able to survive the boredom of meal-time in the cafeterias on campus. We all complain about the food served in the cafeterias but the reason for these complaints is the lack of variety of the meals served, not their quality. The food is very high quality and is nutritious, but the dishes served lack imagination. For instance, if we are served spaghetti on Monday, Wednesday, we'll have hot dogs with leftover spaghetti sauce as "chili." Another lack of imagination is in the choices we have at meal-time; liver and onions, fish, stew, spaghetti, hamburgers or hot dogs is the wide variety we have each week. It's no wonder that the students spend so much money on meals elsewhere. The solution is simple, a suggestion to the staff on what to serve would not only help us, but it might even help the staff in the cafeterias widen their imaginations. Terry Wallace Choose R. A.'s well Dear Editor, There is a situation here on the WCU campus at the present time which is very disgusting to many of us in Helder dormitory. Residence Assistants for the 1978-79 academic year are being chosen and it seems that they are overlooking some very important qualities in an RA due to the exclusion of one. This RA has lost her job because she will not be able to attend the training program for RA's the first of next year. The argument against this is that she has already attended this program once and has had a year of experience. Though there will be three new RA's and a new area coordinator that she will not meet during the training program, she has a personality that will immediately overcome this problem. She has proven to be an excellent RA during 1977-78 academic year. Although she has participated in a number of extracurricular activities, these have never interfered with either her grades or her performances as RA. She has led her hall in numerous activities, making it one of the most active halls in Helder. Among these activities are: Halloween, Christmas and Easter parties, participation in the Halloween Carnival and door decoration project at Christmas, Secret Santa Claus and Secret Easter Bunny during the holiday seasons, a hall-wide whiffle ball team and exercise class and a trip to the Jarrett House which all hall members enjoyed. Under her supervision we are also planning a picnic and a trip to Bear Lake. By her example, she lead one of her halls to have the highest QPR of all the women's dorms. A great injustice is being done by not allowing her to be an RA next year. The rules that are set up are very important in making the decisions of who can or cannot be RA. But in this particular case it is felt that her leadership and personality characteristics are far more important to her success as an RA than her missing training that she has already had. Karen Hall (speaking for 2nd west) 'The people' write Dear Editor, To provide for the common defense and general welfare of "WE THE PEOPLE...," our elected employees in our Congress should: •Establish an Education Department and ratify the genocide treaty...because the old testament is reliable history and the new testament is our guiding Light, quality leadership, not dictatorship, will improve our knowledge level. • Require the bottom line of each pay schedule to be that amount which will enable the lowest paid employee to pay net income taxes and finance social security with income taxes...because our free (responsible) enterprise economy should enable us to operate our Republic with a budget surplus, more jobs, more incentive to the competent, less inflation and more self-respect. • Limit the terms (years) any one of us may serve in any one position...because eternal vigilance is the price of liberty and the problems in our future are inherent in the solutions in our present. By remaining in the United States after our 18th birthday, each of "WE THE PEOPLE," accept the inherent reponsibilities of citizenship in our Republic. Respectively, Hugh D.
