  • July 19, 1979 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 'Page 3 Carolinian opinion and commentary 'Take your shovel, kick your ass, and give away promised land' Dear Editor, I received the following verse in the mail and would like to share it with your readers. "Jimmy Carter is my shepherd, 1 shall not want. He leadeth me beside still factories and abandoned farms. He restoreth my doubt about the Democratic Party. He annointeth my wages with taxes and inflation so my expenses winneth over my income. Surely poverty and hard living shall follow the Democratic Party and I shall work on a rented farm and live in a rented house forever. Five thousand years ago Moses said 'Pack up your camel, pick up your shovel, move your ass, and I will lead you to the promised land.' Five thousand years later FDR said, 'Lay down your shovel, sit on your ass, and light up a Camel; this is the promised land.' This year Jimmy Carter will take your shovel, sell your camel, kick your ass, and tell you he gave away the promised land. I'm glad I'm an American. I'm glad I'm free. I wish 1 was a dog and Jimmy Carter was a peanut tree." Hope you liked it. Sincerely, Name withheld by request. Setting the record straight Dear Editor, Fraternities have had a bad name at WCU lately, and Housing Director Rice's attempt to finish off the job could have been the icing on the cake, if you hadn't set the record straight in your column last week. Bravo! He sure tried to pull the wool over everybody's eyes and blame the frats for the lack of morality in "Dullowhee," but as the old saying goes, you can't bullshit a bullshitter! I believe in giving credit where credit is due, and this case is no exception. Fraternities certainly do not deserve the credit for every can of beer consumed in Cullowhee, or for every hangover, or for every empty beer can in the residence halls or anywhere else. I am beginning to wonder if Mr. Rice has even been in a residence hall, especially on the weekends. Those on-campus people sure do throw some mean parties. And credit is due to you, Mr. Editor, for taking the initiative to straighten this whole mess out. Hey, ever consider working for Housing? Sincerely, Bobby Street Parties and loose women Dear Editor, A young woman was nearly severly slashed Monday evening at about 8 p.m. or 8:30 p.m. The crime almost occured as I was walking from the direction of the library towards the Post Office. The victim, a shapely young woman in her early twenties, blond on top with white short-shorts and a tank-top, was walking from the vicinity of the Post Office towards the library. The entire incident almost took place shortly after I left a group of people who had been to some fraternity party here at WCU. I was feeling depressed and left out and pretty much a loser. My friends had told me all iuuu. ...ose wonderful fraternity parties, but 1 had never gotten up the nerve to go to one. They told me all about the exciting loose women and the wonderfully delicious beverages and the oh so wonderful and funny TRANSITIONAL students and best of all—the pretties from the various summer camps on campus...Oh, my-my. Anyway, as 1 was walking down the sidewalk from the library to the Post Office 1 met this beautiful girl and turned around to du a double take as she passed pie ton the sidewalk). 1 immediately thought about the things 1 hfi been left out of so 1 decided to do something real neat. I was going to cut this girls shirt right off her back. 1 pulled my buck knife out of my pocket and fondled the finely toned blade. 1 watched her as she walked down the street (between the Post Office and the library) (In Cullowhee, N.C). Then 1 began to rationalize. No, 1 thought, this can't be a good action. What if I slice her skin. It would be awful. hard"to cut her shirt without cutting her skin. Those silly people having fights over the fraternity parties—Ha, Ha, Ha. Don't they know that if they don't A threat to Carter make messes (at least clean up after themselves) and don't say nasty nasty words around people who they shouldn't say them around and don't make useless waves, then there wouldn't be anything that anybody could gripe about. And don't those other people know that § personal word is worth a thousand letters? Don't they know that kids will be kids? Don't they know men will be men and boys will be boys and no amount of anything will change this. The only possible cure is a large dose of life. As to the problem of buying the more expensive chicken pot pies instead of the cheep ones without the bottoms...Oh well There is one thing I am glad about this whole incident I MISSED IT Sincerely, Irving von Vwosentoffler Name withheld by request] Kennedy is Democratic cavalry But all of Jimmy Carter's threats aren't from the GOP party. Insisting he will support the President for renomination in 1980, yet feeling the pressures to run grow each day, is that ever present perennial frontrunner, namely: Edward Kennedy. For many Democrats, he represents the cavalry; off on the horizon on a white stallion, only a bugle's call away, yet waiting for the most opportune moment to ride in. To Carter he is just another threat; very possibly the most serious of all But the stallion which Kennedy sits upon is not totally white, It has a distinct black spot; fading yet still visible. Chappaquiddick. It has been ten years since that night of July 19 when Kennedy lost control of his vehicle and drove off a bridge near Martha's Vineyard, killing a female companion. The accident was not immediately reported by Kennedy and when the story finally did surface, it is widely believed a great many details were left out. The general consensus across the nation was that the Senator did not handle the situation in an all together proper manner. It was a severe blow to his political career. But a recent Gallup poll turned up some interesting statistics concerning the Chappaquiddick incident. Of .those surveyed, 87 percent stated that they recalled it; yet 49 percent indicated that they would "likely" vote for Kennedy for president in 1980 if he were to run. Of those who stated they were "not likely" to vote for Kennedy in 1980, only 11 percent indicated that the Chappaquiddick affair was a major consideration in their decision. If Senator Kennedy should choose to throw his hat into the presidential race, Chappaquiddick, as well as various other aspects of his personal life, will be closely examined. Despite the fact that he relentlessly contends he will not seek the Democratic nomination (he reportedly vowed riot to run as long as his mother was alive), it remains that he is an eminencely popular man and may have to eventually succomb to the pressures arid run. Regardless of whether or not Kennedy decides to challenge the incumdent Carter, or even if the President chooses to seek reelection, the race for the White House in 1980 should be an exciting one, as wide open as ever before. And if the notion of a darkhorse emerging victorious is not considered a realistic possibility, one should orily have to think back a few years and recall the peanut farmer from Georgia who everyone said would never make it.
