  • FEBRUARYS. 1979/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/PAGE 19 Carolinian opinion and commentary Avid fan •From Page 20 basketball program and how student enthusiasm win injure it. Actually, Coach Cottrell and the players here encourage crowd participation and this is one of the reasons for the team's recent success. Like the fans at other schools, the fans who attend Western games are beginning to participate in the game and add a distinct advantage for the Cats. To sum it all up, I definitely disagree with Ms. Cheek's statement, "if you want to shout things, join a yodeling club, and...don't come to the basketball games!" and would like to tell Ms. Cheek and others like her, if you don't want to shout and support the Cats, join the sewing club and don't come to the basketball games! Signed, Avid Basketball Fan. Stalag Helder cries 'enough!' Dear Editor, Have you ever felt as if you lived in a prison? Well here at stalag Helder the housing directors and the RA's do everything in their power to suggest this environment. I am speaking of the room check incidents that have been conducted for the past several weeks. All is civilly quiet in Helder dorm around 9:30 p.m. when this irritating voice comes over the loud speaker. "Attention, attention please! There will be a room check to see if any pets are in your rooms. The rule states there shall be no pets in the living quarters, therefore students will be fined if they are caught breaking the rules." Once again the bureaucratic voice is heard at approximately 11 p.m., but this time it is to inform everyone of quiet hours. Little do they think that some people are trying to sleep or study. Are these announcements so necessary that people must be woken up or distracted from their work'.' lo.mtcd. the rules do get broken. Pets can possihlv be found in the rooms and quiet hours arc sometimes unconsciously ignored. But must enforcement of these rules be dealt with m such an institutional manner'.' Whether it be Helder, Scott, leatherwood Of Harrill dormitories, these "living quarters" contain students, not prisoners of war. lhesc petty problems should he dealt with in a personal manner instead ot Sling a public address sv stem. Perhaps if these courtesies were followed a closer atmosphere could he maintained among the student residents. Cathy Johnson Waters condemns fans' hostilities Dear WCU Athletic Supporters: Student and fan support of an athletic team is vital to its success. On many occasions through the years, this support has played a significant role in the success of Catamount athletics. I must express my disappointment,-however, with some of the actions that have taken place at recent Cat basketball games. Throwing trash onto the playing floor does not contribute in any way to the play or to the success of the team. It does, however, endanger the athletes. Throwing trash or any material on the playing surface that endangers the athletes cannot be justified. I want to emphasize, also, that this action does not lend moral support to the athletes, who are competing or on the sidelines. Also, I must say the foul language used on occasions adds nothing to the support of the players. We have all heard the language before and no doubt will hear it again from one source or another. However, there are other supporters of the Cats—especially children—who wish not and should not have to be exposed to this kind of language. It is out of place, and I hope those involved will refrain from using it. As stated above, the athletes and toadies need and appreciate your support. You are a part of Catamount athletics, and I would like to request assistance and support in these two mar. Sincereh, Bob Waters Athletic Director HEW draws more controversy WASHINGTON (AP)—HEW civil rights officials and chancellors of North Carolina's historically black public colleges Tuesday skirted the subject of a recent state report defending duplication of programs at some neighboring traditionally black and white institutions. The two groups met Tuesday in Washington and both said they had a friendly exchange of views on desegregation. "We agreed enhancement is the key technique for desegregating the traditionally black institution?," David S. Tatel, director of HEW's Office for Civil Rights, told reporters. "Our objectives were basically theirs." The Department of Health, Education and Welfare, in enforcing a court order to eliminate remnants of segregation in college systems in six southern states, has usually required that some unnecessary duplication of programs at neighboring colleges be eliminated. The NAACP Legal Defense Fund, which brought the lawsuit that led to the court order, recently attacked North Carolina's desegregation plan as "massive resistance." HEW has until March 14 to respond to the state's stand on program duplication, Tatel said. Eleven of North Carolina's universities are predominantly white. The five predominantly black institutions are Fayctteville State University, Elizabeth City State University, North Carolina A&T State University, Winston-Salem State University and North Carolina Central University.
