  • Editorial MAR6IWES SGP needs a leader What has happened lo Student Government Produc- tiuns? Il might be sate lo sav that due to Student Government Assoeiation President Wanda Nelson's irritable emotional state SGP has gone oul of existence. Ilovy can SGP be considered lo exist if there is no director or other personnel in SGP? 1 es. Hall and Oates are coming to Reid Gym September 29 courtesy of Wanda Nelson Productions. Why? Because Ms. Nelson -due to irrelevant personal conflicts—has fired the only two people on the WCU campus who have any experience in running SGP. It is obvious to this writer, who has covered SGP activities for the Western Carolinian since spring of 1977, that Ms. Nelson clearly let her emotions override any logic that might be in that stubborn head of hers when she fired Randy Lackey, who has three years experience in SGP and who was last year's SGP director. It seems that Ms. Nelson just plain doesn't like one Dale Brown who was last year's stage manager and who also has about three years experience with SGP. She wanted Lackey to fire him. Lackey didn't want to fire him because he knew that Brown knew his job and did it well. So now they're both fired and we students—whose money runs this carelessly run outfit up in the University Center—are hurting because of it. SGP is an organization that to be run effectively and smoothly must be run by someone who has a lot of experience viz., Lackey, and the director must have a certain amount of freedom to run it the way he sees fit without dangling at the end of puppet strings manipulated by an SGA president that doesn't know anything about running SGP viz., Ms. Nelson. When we talk about SGP, we're talking about a lot of money—money that belongs to us students. (To get an idea of how much money SGP is allotted each semester, multiply the number of full time students at WCU by $6.50.) In the interest of the students, this money needs to be managed properly in order to get the best concerts available. Ms. Nelson, who in this writer's opinion docs not act in the interest of the students but rather is overly preoccupied with politics and keeping people she "likes" in office, has made some big mistakes monetarily. She seems to think the money is hers rather than the students. Last year, for the first time, SGP ended the year with money left over in its budget—money that was allotted specifically for concerts. There was about Sl 1,000 leftover. Ms. Nelson took it upon herself to use some $8,000 of that money to pay other SGA debts. This is wrong, Ms. Nelson! That's our money you're tampering with! We want to see concerts! That money was to be used to purchase new lights for concerts. As it stands now the old lights are in ill repair and spotlights will have to be rented for the Hall and Oates concert—a show that is already the highest priced show ever to be produced here. Although Lackey normally hired students at minimum wage to set up the stage for concerts, Ms. Nelson, because she has no director to arrange these things, is being forced due to the time element involved to hire professional carpenters to se up the stage—at a rate in excess of $7 per man/hour. This is our money you're throwing away, Ms. Nelson! Through any logical reasoning, which Ms. Nelson is beginning to show she is only semi-capable of, Randy Lackey should be the director of SGP. It only makes sense. However, Ms. Nelson has not yet learned how to separate business from her personal affairs and we students are indirectly suffering the consequences of her lack of maturity concerning this matter. Concerning concerts, Ms. Nelson has alienated WWCU, this writer, and most importantly Beach Club !5u.'king which brings the concerts to our campus. These are all areas that Lackey had established good rapport with. Who will you alienate next Ms. Nelson, (he sfudent body? This writer thinks that Ms. Nelson should wake up to the needs of the students on this campus and set aside her personal grudges so that we students can have an efficient, organized, well-run SGP. C.H. KKK strikes out Dear Editor, Few things in life really ever surprise me, and even fewer things upset me enough to go to the typewriter and bleed my heart out. Bui tonight was such an occasion; the third such occasion in my adult life when I fell thai human ignorance had reached a new peak. The first occasion came about during Carter's campaign for the presidency. It vvas at this time that the pastor ot Plains Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia slated on national television that lie did not allow anv "niggers" in his church. rhe second occasion was during the spring of when an alleged "Christian" conducted a successful witch-hunt in Dade Counlv. Florida. But pathetic ignorance and bigotry vvas to reach a new high during the following summer with the re- emergence of the KKK in a small town in Mississippi. On September 10, ABC broadcasted a news segment which examined the racial upset in this town. KKK members, clad in white, paraded up and down mains tree t; local police officers boasted of their membership in the KKK. Cross-burnings in the night blatant racism in the streets is today's news, not twenty years ago. When will the human race ever develop some intelligence, and why doesn't modern society have the ability to think? Why do we still believe that homosexuals are dangerous, and why do we still believe that black people are inferior? Why don't we just grow up? Randall Reid 'We the people...9 Dear Editor, The quality leadership of our President helps each of us to do our share. But 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. •As health insurance, require the bottom line of each pay schedule to be that amount which will enable the lowest paid employee to pay net income taxes. Because our tree (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. Who rides in the welfare limousine? An example is the lust measure of our integrity quotient. In 1987 those of us with incomes of $40,000 and $100,000 will pay the same, a little more than $3,000, in Social Security taxes. Can each of us turn one of the keys to self-respect by registering to vote? Respectfully, Hugh D. Dudley SGA manipulation Lytle lashes out Dear Editor, I am amazed at the manipulation of the students by the SGA as shown recently by the SGA's continually extending the deadline for registration for dorm senators. The students may be expressing their silent indignation for Ms. Nelson, et. al. through their apathy. This is not the best course. I believe it should start with a surge at the source and can only be solved by a DIRECT INVOLVEMENT OF ALL STUDENTS.
