PAQE 18/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/NOVEMBER 16, 1978 Carolinian opinion and commentary A helluva game Dear Editor, Saturday's football game between Furman and WCU was one helluva football game. The Cats tried their hardest to win. However, if I were a football player I would tell the fans to "go to Hell!" Very few fans backed the Cats in spirit at Saturday's game. What is wrong? WCU has the best football team in the Southern Conference, but it needs the support of the fans to win. Furman had about 1,000 plus fans at the game while Western had over 10,000 but it was the Furman fans that gave their team the support needed to win. I admire a great football team like WCU and I can't understand why the WCU fans cannot give their team the support they deserve. Come out and support the Cats against ASU, if WCU is to win, the CATS NEED THE SUPPORT OF THE FANS. fours truly, Alumnus Beeri Dear Editor, With all the festivities of Homecoming, one important aspect of the community situation and world energy crisis has been overlooked. And what else could this be except the beer referendum in Sylva. About the only thing that has been said concerning this new law is that it passed! Being economically and politically concerned, I feel that a closer, more indepth report is in order. Let us relate the ramifications of this new ordinance to the present energy crisis. I don't think that anyone would deny the desire on the part of the WCU student body to drink beer at any and all costs and expense. Now consider the number of times students drive to Waynesville every week for beer, and also consider the accompanying expense and use of gasoline. The savings that will be realized once beer actually becomes available for sale in Sylva will far outweigh the few minor negative consequences (i.e. not being able to find a parking place at the beer stores). A new business could very easily grow in Sylva--that of recycling aluminum cans. The main consideration is the saving of energy. The beer law in Sylva has undoubtedly entended he depletion of oil reserves in the US by at least 10 years and could very possibly bring about a reduction in the price in gasoline. Many political scientists predict a war will break out in the Middle East within the next 20 years due to the lack of oil and petroleum products. I see this beer referendum as the frist step in averting this potential war. I don't know about you, but I don't care to hear anyone bad mouthing the city of Sylva in the future. If I was the President of the U.S., I would award Sylva the City of the Year award and, quite possibly consider Sylva for the Nobel Peace Prize. An avid reader, Mike Bowman OES speaks out Dear Editor, In 1968, the Black Students United for Liberation (BSUL) organization was established at WCU. The need for the organization was apparent because overt discrimination was being practiced against Black students by white students, faculty and staff. In 1973, the BSUL became the OES. Because members of the caucasion community no longer practiced overt discrimination, the organization changed its focus along with its name. The purpose of OES was then, and is now, to promote unity, dignity, respect and self-awareness among Blacks, and to offer the white community the opportunity to view and understand the culture and heritage of Black people. After on-site visits over the mid-term break to six of the predominantly white campuses in the North Carolina university system, we feel that it is our duty to make the entire WCU community aware of how our university compares with North Carolina State University UNC-Chapel Hill, UNC-Greensboro, Appalachian State Univeristy, and East Carolina University in appropriations to Black student cultural organizations. They are as follows: University, % of black students amount UNC-Chapel Hill (6.3%) $22,000 NC State (5.2%) $15,000 UNC-Greensboro (8.1%) $11,000 Appalachian State (2.4%) $4,000 ECU (7.4%) $6,000 WCU (3.1%) t $375 The above are approximations of each schools' annual appropriations. In addition to the $4,000 appropriated to the Black Student Association at Appalachian State University, the Director of Minority Student Affairs has been appropriated $7,600 for the current academic year. These funds are also available for Black cultural activities on that campus. The Black cultural organizations on each of these campuses also maintain cultural centers in which the organization can hold cultural and social events. Appropriations have never been made for such an edifice on Western Carolina University's campus, we feel that such a center is necessary on this campus. Having brought these issues to the attention of the campus community, we realize that changes can and will not be made overnight. But we do feel that our accomplishments within the past ten years, in comparison with other Black cultural organizations in the university system, are not up to par. It is now time to make Western as attractive to ALL students as UNC-Chapel Hill, NC State, UNC-Greensboro, Appalachian State and East Carolina University.
