  • PAGE 12/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/APRIL 12, 1979 Carolinian opinion and commentary Carlton— 'Bullshit and a smile' Dear Editor, Now that the field of candidates for SGA president has been narrowed down to two, perhaps it will be easier for student voters to wade through the oceans of promises and decide which candidate is qualified for tlie office. In several conversations with Frank Carlton 1 have found him to be lacking any real knowledge of the duties of SGA president; I think my opinions were dramatically illustrated on WWCU's Forum. Carlton has hit upon fhe major gripes of the students (e.g. collective; assessment and SGA budgeting) but intensive questioning proves that he is devoid of solutions to these problems. Case in point: Carlton says that the budget should "get out faster. The Finance Committee gets boggled down." The Finance Committee is under the jurisdiction of the senate and the vice-president. Carlton oversteps his boundaries because he does not understand them. Roger McKinney knows the duties of the SGA president. By serving as Assistant Comptroller and Comptroller, Roger has gained extensive working knowledge of the office he seeks. Roger's jobs have kept him in close contact with the presidents of the last two administrations; where has Carlton been for the last two years? Roger is hardworking and dedicated, and will not have to exhaust time and energy learning the job of SGA president. Bullshit and a smile are no substitute for experience and well-established relations with the administration. I urge you to support Roger McKinney in the run-off election next Tuesday. Tim Sikes McKinney Dear Editor, True to form, the SGA elections this year were even more exciting than anticipated. With a runoff in the presidental race between Frank Carlton and Roger McKinney, the showdown for SGA's number one position takes its final turn. Having been in Student Government for two years and knowing both of the candidates, I wish to speak my piece and hopefully help clear some of the haze away. Frank Carlton is a hard worker. But hard work is not all that makes a good president. SGA's head needs a working knowledge of how SGA operates. In my dealings with him, Carlton has consistently shown a lack of knowledge about Student Government, despite the fact that he was a senator for two years. I also wonder if Frank would have time to be president. He will be taking nine graduate hours this fall (a full-time load for graduates, says Frank). His association with Southwestern Book Company is well known. With Carlton being out of the state this summer selling books, who will be running SGA? On the other hand, Roger McKinney has all of the qualities essential to make SGA a success. He has two years executive staff experience, which is indispensible to SGA's chief executive officer. As comptroller, he has managed over $200,000 in student monies (as opposed to Carlton's $50,000 operation). Roger knows the ropes, and is well liked and respected by the administration as well as students. As an accounting major, Roger has a detailed knowledge of how a business operates (something SGA needs). And he will be available during the summer to provide true leadership for Student Government. Usually during political campaigns, it is easy to be misled by fancy promises and political rhetoric. Not here. The choice is clean and simple. One candidate is qualified, the other is not. Roger McKinney is clearly the only choice for SGA President. Sincerely, Richard Sullins If students and instructors would start working together instead of against each other more productive reasoning could be achieved for the betterment of the school. I would publicly like to thank three of the instructors in the department for their honesty in addressing this matter. Hopefully the department will try to open better lines of communication between students and instructors in the near future. Sincerely, Ethel L. Campbell Social Work Major Carlton says thanks Red f reljef r_f»ar PHirr.1* Dear Editor, I'd like to thank all those students, who supported me in the SGA presidential election Tuesday, April 10. This Tuesday, April 17, there will be a run off election for President of SGA. Your vote for Frank Carlton for president of SGA will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Again, Frank Carlton Wilkins fits to a T Dear Editor, Next week elections are going to be held once again, but this time not just for SGA president. The elections are also for the remaining offices in SGA and editor and business manager of The Western Carolinian. I particularly would like to mention the office of editor. This office holds quite a few responsibilities and I feel the man who holds the office needs to have the ability to handle them if he is to be an effective leader at all. A man I have know since our freshman year of '76 in my opinion fits the office to a T. I'm referring to Mark Wilkins. Mark is a person whom I highly respect and admire simply because he is a responsible person. Mark is a very active student on this campus and has been working on the Carolinian staff for the past three years. Presently his position at the newspaper as managing editor has allowed him to view every aspect of the internal management necessary to run the paper smoothly and effectively. Therefore, it is obvious that he is more than qualified for the position of editor. The point I'm trying to make is that Mark is the best man for the job. So, I urge students who care about the way their newspaper is run to vote for Mark Wilkins on Tuesday, April 17. It is the best move you could make! Sincerely, Scott Craig A Concerned Student Cooperation urged Dear Editor, I would like to urge other students to join with the social work students to have more input into departmental decision-making. Students, instructors and administrators should maintain a broader base of understanding through working together on an equal basis to solve problems. Through working together, misunderstandings such as the one concerning my field placement in my home community this summer could be avoided. I requested to be placed near where I lived so I could live at home this summer. My main reason was an economic one. I was given the impression that this was acceptable. Then, later on in the semester I was told that I could not do my placement there under any circumstances. Dear Editor, In the midst of the red tape and run-around connected with registration in Cullowhee, it's nice to know that there is one ray of hope around here. After a long, hard day of trying to sign up for extra hours, and getting the usual run-around, I was just about at the end of my rope. I still had one more signature to get, vice chancellor of academic affairs, and I had been put on "permanent hold.'' Just then, a very pleasant and very pregnant lady asked me if she could help me. She must've read my mind, because I sure needed help. She told me that it wouldn't be any problem to get the signature I needed, and that she would even get copies made for me, and send them to all concerned parties. And, if that wasn't enough, she even told me to have a nice day as I left. I have no idea what this lovely lady's name is, but I would just like to thank her for being the one bright spot in an otherwise miserable day. A Very Appreciative Student Dog lover speaks To the Person Who Abandoned Two Black Puppies on Tilley Creek Last Thursday: I wanted to let you know that I did your dirty work for you. I accepted the responsibility that you neglected. I found your two puppies, no more than eight weeks old, huddled in a shivering lump by the side of the road Thursday evening. I took them home, gave them food and water and a warm place to stay the night. On Friday, 1 took time from work and drove the pups to the veterinarian, where they were quietly anesthetized. Then I carried them to the land fill in Dillsboro. Much easier for the little fellows than the fate you had dealt them. A bullet would have been less cruel. But that takes a strength that you obviously did not possess. After having worked with a veterinarian, I am well aware of the fact that this is a common practice, and I am not so naive as to think that all puppies are wonderful and should be given "good homes." These, as a matter of fact, were covered with scabs, their bellies were swollen with worms, their odor was enough to make me gag, and they were being eaten up with fleas. Not much as far as puppies go. Granted, female dogs have litters all to regularly* and the price of a spaying is hard, if not impossible at times, to pay. But I'm not writing this to give you an excuse. It is irresponsible pet owners like you who contribute to our appalling dog and cat over-population, causing many problems that we have all had to deal with, not to mention the wretched life that these animals live (those who make it). What I would like to ask you is how you think you have the right to inflict such a horrid fate on those two—or any—puppies? I wonder if that is any indication of you concern for, and treatment of your fellow man. And what I want to tell you is that I think you are a miserable coward. Sincerely, Sarah V.
