PAGE 20/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/APRIL 26,1979 Carolinian opinion and commentary Editor says goodbye after two year term In my nearly two years as editor-in-chief of The Western Carolinian, I have watched as many, many individuals have passed through this organization. If I had to thank all who did well for me during those years, I would run out of newspaper, since there were so many. On the other hand, some deserved a swift kick in the posterior for their efforts. But in this last Issue, four of those who can look back on a job well done, all of whom have been with me from the beginning, deserve special mention. David Curtis has done the best job as Business Manager one could ask for. He is largely responsible for bringing the paper from $5500 in the red to about four grand in the black in his first year, getting us out of an ever increasing debt for the first time in many years. I recall seeing him spend many nights at the office untangling years of fiscal headaches, trying to establish a workable financial system. He finally succeeded and we have been on Arm economic ground ever since. Mark Wilkins may be the most knowledgeable member of the staff when it comes to newspaper layout and design, and has played a key role In the administration of the organization. Mark is a hard worker too. I remember one issue he and I put out by ourselves after everyone else got sick or was too drunk to work that night. We finished up about 5 a.m. that Thursday morning. I must have chewed out Eddie Yandle at least a dozen times in the two years, but he always bounces back to show more enthusiasm than just about anyone else on the staff. He has a good working knowledge of newspapers and will prove to be valuable In the months to come. The last I'll mention, although there have been many others, is Joyce Cooper, who is responsible for our classified ads section, among other things. She has been an enthusiastic and hard worker from the beginning, and always brightened things up a bit around the office. Joyce has been a good friend and I have appreciated her company for the last two years. There are others: relative newcomer Lane Gardner will contribute much to the paper in the future as the new news editor; Rick McDaniel will probably do well as the photo editor; my news editor Al Lagano will assume the editor's chair (good luck!), and the list goes on. All of you deserve a big round of applause and a Wednesday night pizza on me for two very enjoyable years. I'll probably sit up late on Wednesday nights in Boston wondering if the copy will be done on time.... David Curtis thanks advertisers Dear Advertisers, I would like to take a moment to thank all of you for your support of The Western Carolinian during the past two years. Due to your help the paper has made substantial improvements during this time and has the potential now to continue on its course of upgrading the advertising as well as the editorial areas. Two new men will be in charge of the paper in the EDITOR-IN-CHIEF David Jackson BUSINESS MANAGER David Curtis MANAGING EDITOR Mark Wilkins NEWS EDITOR AILagano DESIGN EDITOR Eddie Yandle SPORTS EDITOR Steve Surles STAFF WRITERS Cathy Bailey Eli Walker Laura West Rick Whitman Kathy Malone Doug Beam Lane Gardner PHOTO EDITOR Lewis Greene PHOTOGRAPHERS Jeanette Beaudry E.S. McDaniel year to come. They are Editor, Al Lagano, and Business Manager Rob Gathings. Both are very competent and very hard workers. It is my sincere wish that you give them the support you have given me. Together with their work and your cooperation, The Western Carolinian will continue to serve you and the area to the best of its ability. Many changes for the better have taken place within the management of the paper, and the influx of "new blood" into these offices will keep this trend going. I have totally enjoyed serving you as Business Manager for the past two years, and your support, help and cooperation, are deeply appreciated on my part as well as the rest of the staff. Support these two new officers and your won't regret it. Once, again, thanks for everything. It's been more than a pleasure working with you. Most sincerely, David Curtis Business Manager Western Carolinian Reader solicits Africa donation Dear Editor, This summer I will be going to Africa to do volunteer work. I will be participating in a work/study/travel program offered by Operation Crossroads Africa Inc. Crossroads is a non-profit organization which focuses on international development and educational exchange. Our work will involve: agricultural development, building schools, health clinics, community facilities, and helping people in rural communities to preserve local cultural traditions. I will also be getting six hours credit with Dr. Tom O'Toole in History. The total cost of Crossroads is $2800. Crossroads has already granted me $1100; I must raise the remaining $1700 through support from my community by July. I hope that members of my community can help me by donating $15,20, or 25. All donations made payable to Crossroads on my behalf are tax-deductible. I am looking forward to sharing what I have learned when I return through slide presentations, newspaper articles, and general communication. I hope that I may be able to help people look at their own way of life, in relation to another culture. We need to do this as well as improve relations between these two very different cultures. This is a small step, but a worthwhile one. For more information, call me at 293-9315. Thank you, Wendy Slim Social work student differs Dear Editor, In response to the letters in last week's Carolinian I would like to give a differing point of view of the Social Work Department. I have found the faculty to be very accessible, not only for course advisement but for any appropriate problem that a student would want to discuss. In my contact with the faculty I have found them to openly state that the social work department is not perfect, and that they are receptive to constructive criticism. We, as students, should remember that these instructors have been professionals in the field, as well as in the classroom, I feel fortunate to have leaders with twenty or more years of experience who will listen to and show appreciation for my opinion. With these thoughts in mind, I would like to suggest that these persons opposed to the existing system get together and propose a constructive improvement over the present format. I see no reason why the students and the faculty can not come together and discuss in a calm, professional manner each point of concern. Let's not tear down what is working by letting our emotions rule over what we have been taught about appropiate formats for change. Sincerely, Beverly 0'Brian social work student Exam Schedule 6X/5LMTIM& MOWWV TU660AV VJ&>kJ&Ptf. 1MW0M FRK7A*/ a-.*o- ir.oo 8.00 MWP 4:00MWF l0:00MWf q.*30 TR 2:00 MWF \%\ 00 2.: 30 2*.oo 1R S-So-fR 4'.00 MWF &00 TR. 11:00 TK 3:oo 5:30 moo MWF l2:00AAWF uoo towr I2.-301R $00 MWP The wes'ei n Corolinic The western Carolinian Is puMisM* every Thursday throughout the academic year and summer sessions by the students of Western Carolina University.
