  • Blasted Retirement Reading RWS' editorial saddened me. A number of months ago I'd heard that Dr. Swanson might be forced to retire, yet I also knew that the retirement age had been extended to seventy. I assumed that Dr. Swanson would encounter no insurmountable problem, and would continue to teach. The knowledge and insight I've gleaned from Dr. Swanson's classes will be very close and valuable to me for the rest of my life. His enthusiasm and interest initiating an accessible, progressive scholarship are readily apparent, while his sincerity and integrity are admirable. That he should be unable to share himself with students as a result of an absurd technicality is a reflection of an isolated bureaucracy that consequently defeats its educational purpose. This really angers me! I would suggest that anyone with an interest in ethics, philosophy, religion, or simply a curious thirst for knowledge, take a class with Dr. Swanson. Otherwise, you'll miss a wonderful learning opportunity. Jim Dowling Dear Editor, In response to the article written by RWS concerning the retirement of Dr. Reubin Swanson, I would like to say that I agree wholeheartedly. It is my opinion also that Dr. Swanson has "the ability, resources, energy, and desire" to continue teaching. Additionally, I feel he is valuable as well as vital to the Department of Religion y\AAflJW\rWSrWI/UVSAr\rtAr^^ ^River House Restau rant Located at the Old Cullowhee Truck Stop Hwy. 107 Serving:'Breakfast • Complete Salad & Fruit Bar • Plate Lunches and Sandwiches and Philosophy and most importantly to the student body. Fortunately, I have experienced the benefits of his instruction and I find it very disappointing to know that future students at WCU will not have this privilege. I think we should draft a letter to present our opinion on this matter and have all who agree sign it. We should then send copies to Dr. Friday and to President Reagan who has himself passed the age of 65. After all, if being over 65 isn't too old to run our country then why is it the cut off of such valuable instruction to our future leaders? Sincerely, Debora Cooper Giftee Vs. Dunlop Dear Editor: I am writing in responce to your anonymous column 'The Obliterated Line' in the June 18 Western Carolinian. Sure, it was humorous (to a certain extent) but not all of us Giftees are preppie gator-heads or pre- pubescent punks. Indeed, the crowds of Izod-garbed refugees from Liliput you described are by far the minority. To be sure, there are a lot of rich kids with the Gifted program, but believe me, anyone using the phrase, 'Come along, Muf- fy,' would immediately have his or her Gucci scarf yanked tight, with intent to asphyxiate by hordes of nauseated anti-preppies. An acquaintance of mine, whenever he sees an alligator, boldly tears it off and does disgusting things with it. And you have the effron- try to collectively associate us with jacuzzies, The Wall Street Journal, and polo (in the same sentence, even!) Actually, we are all entitled to a little bohemianness (bohemianity?). I myself listen to ELO, wear levi's with flip-flops, and inhale Vonnegut by the ream. But I, (and all giftees, as far as I can tell) are (SIC) not in line for the throne of Britain. This columnist was really 105% overboard in his judgment of us. I am not even going to begin to discuss your columnist's labeling of us as 'prepubescent'. I just wish that guy would come to one of our parties... - To summarize, I assume that the words of wisdom of your anonymous columnist are included in the Western Carolinian to provide a little comic relief. So why doesn't he attack politicians for a change? Sincerely yours, Bryan Rice Eighth Grade Giftee My Dear Mr. Rice; I was suitably impressed by your tome in response to my column. I beg to argue on one point, however. While Levis, flip-flops, and most certainly ELO are extremely bohemian, I, along with my contemporaries consider Kurt Vonnegut the greatest living American writer, with the possible exception of Tom Wolfe (NOT Thomas). As to your friend who does disgusting things with alligators, tell him to try padded handcuffs. They're much more fun. I regret that I will be unable to accept your gracious invitation to attend one of your parties as state Taw and common decency prohibit me from partying with anyone under the age of 18. H.

For Reservations call 926-0583 SKL by H. Lester Dunlop Hello, Folks. Have all of you been good since last week7 Too bad. Being one of the crop of people who must rise early in order to satisfy tyranical professors, I sometimes find myself in need of early a.m. sustinance. This morning, I decided to try out one local emporium known as the Katkiller. Upon gaining entry to the rather dreary place (which looked like a refurbished elementary school cafeteria), I found that I was in good company. Nearly everyone who was anyone at dear ole' Cullowhee Normal was there sipping on coffee instead of being in their offices running the shop. The only missing personage was His Em- minence the Monolith builder, but we all know that he's never in anyway. Upon scrutinizing the bill of fare, I eagerly anticipated the highly-touted 'Home-made biscuits'. Little did I know that they were 'Home-made' in a home for the criminally insane. Rather unsuspectingly, I placed my order with the jolly old elf who runs the place, and promptly received my fare. I never knew that an egg could be cooked 'Rare' before. After playing twenty questions as to the identity of the grey lump on the plate, I later found out they were supposed to be biscuits. Undaunted, I ate and almost enjoyed. The food really wasn't that bad. I still feel f i n e Coming next week...Frats set up train service to campus. Diseases that thrive on topsiders...Jerry Falwell becomes immoral minority...Fun with leather...and much, much more! Political Science Dept Fine, Mercer Says Putting to rest rumors of trouble in his department, Acting Head Gordon Mercer said Tuesday that the Political Science Department has never been in better shape regarding faculty, curriculum, and students. With department head Dr. Salvatore Nerboso out this spring with a heart attack and rumors of Prof. William Latimer leaving the faculty to join the Reagan administration, several Political Science majors expressed concern about how well the department was holding up. "That's understandable," said Dr. Mercer. "We're such a small department that it's easy to see problems, but we've had none this spring." Mercer stated that the faculty picture is "stable" at the moment. Dr. Nerboso is back and will be lecturing this fall as well as during summer school. Prof. Latimer, who was Pres. Reagan's campaign director for Western North Carolina, has assured Mercer that he'll be back this fall, lecturing and serving as Student Government advisor also. "We're doing more this summer than we ever have," boasted Mercer, pointing to the six courses being held this summer. Dr. Mercer added that his department graduated more seniors this spring than any other except the Sociology Department. Another plus on the Political Science front was the recent development of a Master's Degree in Public Administration, a very hot and varied field according to Mercer. With the MPA classes in Asheville, on campus, a concentration in Public Administration has been developed for Political Science and one in International Relations.
