The more candidales there are. ihe better Ihe chance thai the best leaders will be elected by the students. More importantly, though, is your duly lo vole in the upcoming election. In past years here al WCU, less than half Ihe sludenl body has turned out for any gi\en election.

It's vour money. M.S.W. Satire 'Kiss off Mom says Dear Sun. I'm glad to hear that you're all settled hack into school, it's much nicer than having you ai home. The room that vou and vour five brothers share isn't nearly, as crowded now, I have never understood why you insist on keeping all of your toys anyway. At the age of 23. 1 should think that you would no longer need your tricycle, although 1 do understand thai there is no where to park a car at vour university. fvUrts mmftjivh] jfyufte B^wiO...

Don't worry about the smell, you'll get used to it in a few years, or your nasal passages win rot and the problem will correct itself. Mr. Wike sounds like a really nice man. I think it's great that he lore dovv n a whole mountain just so people can watch him fly his planes. Don't worry about your porch. I'm sure he'll get around to fixing it when he's campaigning again. Maybe you could talk him into building another airport over the cabbage patch-that would get rid of the smell and maybe the noise would drive the mice awav. Study hard and write soon. Love, Mom More satire... Td rather be bored in Cullowhee' Dear Mom, Looks like another quiet Tuesday night in Cullowhee. Nothing much ever seems to happen on Tuesday nights here. I'm up here in the Western Carolinian Office—they let me use their typewriter sometimes— and I was just listening to the editor complain about how there's no news. Maybe there isn't. Perhaps news is hard to find in Cullowhee. Perhaps, maybe, just maybe, people get bored sometimes. But do you know what? Some boredom's not so bad after all. I could certainly think of worse places to be bored in. In fact. I'd rather be bored in Cullowhee than any other place. Maybe they ought to make a new bumper sticker: "I'd rather be bored in Cullowhee." Last week when my roommate and I were bored we just sat out on the front stoop and drank a case of beer in about an hour. One old-time favorite boredom is sitting around the Townhouse (a diner in Cullowhee) about lunchtime and "shooting the shit." That's always a relaxing boredom between classes. Another is going to the laundramat on weekends. It's easier to lose touch with friends on the weekends but the laundramat is where you'll always find them. Watching Coonie ( a local) "talking" with the women is always an interesting boredom. The interesting part is seeing what the girls' reactions are. Trying to overhear a pseudo-intellectual conversation is pretty much fun sometimes, but that's only in cases of extreme boredom. Of course, one could always climb to the top of a mountain, smoke a joint, and watch the sunset. That is, ii one wants to get corny. But after all. this is Cullowhee and a lot of corny people live here. By the way Mom, writing home can really be dullsville sometimes. Much love. Chip NCSL raps Cates Dear Editor. I feel that the students of WCU should be informed of the actions which occurred at the first Senate meeting of the school year (Monday. August 28). Vice-president Phil Cates attempted to railroad nine resolutions past the student senate (he succeeded with seven of them). One of these resolutions concerned the independence of the NCSL delegation on campus. NCSL (The North Carolina Student Legislature) is an independent organization which offers students the opportunity to participate in a working democracy and a chance to have an influential voice in the affairs of NC. Cates attempted to pass the resolution by a suspension of the rules to have it voted on immediately. I objected and after debate the resolution was referred to the Rules Committee. Cates was in essence calling for approval of all NCSL activities. He later asserted that he intended to withdraw the approval section (in the final session it was withdrawn). If students are unconcerned about power moves like this, maybe I should point out that the student senate controversy over $230,000 this year (next year it may be over $300,000).. Every student pays fees and should be concerned about the use of these rising fees. Most important of all, the people in charge of OUR money must he-trustworthy. Please contact your senators (Dorm elections are September 13) and demand to know what they are doing. VOTE IN THE ELECTIONS.
