  • PAGE 20/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/JANUARY 18, 1979 Carolinian opinion and commentary Hey editor! Dear Editor, As an avid reader of the Western Carolinian. 1 have noticed several shortcomings that have just recently appeared in your newspaper. First, whatever happened to Charlie Lawing? He was there one week, and then he was gone! 1 know he's still in Cullowhee, so what's the deal? Also, whatever happened to your photo staff? There was one time when the Carolinian was a weekly photo exhibit. Now, the few pictures that do appear are amateurish, unimaginative, and sloppy. There are many able student photographers on this campus who no doubt could use the money you pay, and they would provide you with much better pictures. How about it Carolinian? Are you really the Voice of the Students? M.W. Whitfield Charlie's still around somewhere, maybe the next time we clean the office we'll find him buried under all the junk in here. He mentioned working up a strip for this semester, but later said he would be too busy with school to devote a proper amount of time to cartooning. We will miss his work, but we are in the process of obtaining nationally circulated comic strips from various suppliers. That is, unless there arc any budding Gary Trudeaus out there in Readcrland... (By the way, Tom Addison, where in the world are you these days?) As for photographers, well, shall we say heads will roll very soon. Editor Bookstore ripoff Dear Editor, I've just come back from the University Book and Supply Store and I am appalled at the price that the Supply Store charges for it's books. I went in there to purchase Man's Many Wavs. a book I was required to get for Anthropology. The book was a paperback with around 250 pages, but the price was an outrageous $9.10 (without tax). This book would not be more than $7 at any book store. It's low-grade business to overprice the list price on something, but the university seems to do it with clear conscious. Students are already hard-up. Why do they do this? Could you explain why they would do this. Students are already pressed for money without shit like this happening. Sincerely, Mark Bailey I'm afraid we can't answer that one, Mark. Maybe someone from the bookstore could, or perhaps the answer could come from a member of the now defunct SGA Bookstore Investigation Committee... Editor APO thanks all Dear Editor, Alpha Phi Omega sponsored a disco last Sunday with the help of the UCB and WWCU. for the benefit of cystic fibrosis. We would like to express our appreciation to all of the students who participated in our disco. We raised over $110 at this benefit. Alpha Phi Omega encourages all interested men and women to attend our formal smoker Jan. 25 at 7:30 in the Catamount room of the UC. This will be the first of two formal smokers. The second will be held on January 30, time and place same as above. r-KARL HUBENTHAL Los Anqeles HERALD-EXAHINIT "We three kings of Orient are.. TAKE THIS AD TO DINNER More than fifty percent of the world is starving. Another twenty percent, just plain hungry. And yet, in the face of starvation, they have hope. Hope that the rains will return to the African Plain. Hope that the Asian rice crop will be bigger this year. Hope that someone, anyone, with anything to offer will come to help them fight the battle for life. Someone in the Peace Corps. They'd like to stand up for themselves, these prisoners of fate, but they're just too weak to stand up. But with the Peace Corps a flame begins to flicker. They've seen others like you before. Seen the changes you can bring. Two thousand wells on the parched earth of Sahel. Seen how their knowledge helped reduce the grain losses. Who are they? They're people pretty much like you. cSuxi " People with commitment and skills who've assessed their lives and decided there must bo more than just having a job. They looked into themselves and knew it was time for the talk to end and the work to begin. They're very special people, these people. Totally prepared to give everything they've got. And getting back even .more than they give. 'That's the beauty of the Peace Corps. The work is hard and the pay is lousy, and the progress comes a drop at a time. But the rewards are infinite. Join the Peace Corps and then take a good long look in the mirror. You'll never look the same to yourself again. The Peace Corps is alive and well. Call toll free: 800-424-8580.
