The week will feature music, films, lectures, and seminars for all WCU students. A complete list of activities is published in this edition of The Western Carolinian.

U.S. is a peace loving nation Guest Editorial By R.B. Cochran Staff Writer "The pioneers of a warless world are the young men [and women] who refuse military service." -Albert Einstein Some folks, it's been said, would rather be "red" than dead. Other folks would rather die than be onsidcied yellow. Still others would choose to be red, ellow, pink, blue, even dead, rather than become part f a force that advocates hatred, death, and iestructiori. niifiii ^^ «Wl Willi ■^■"■i ■""■"■•I iw^i U>A* gfSISTCgS " VOU'RE IN FOR MURDER? FUNMV, I'M !M FOR REFUSING TO/" The draft is back in dispute. The Russians have invaded Afghanistan and the pressure is on for Americans to take action. For many Americans, who have strong feelings of patriotism, the logical course of action is to fight fire with fire. After all, the Russians must have the draft in order to tum out such numbers in Afghanistan the way they have. These Americans are ready to sacrifice time, energy, their life, and the lives of others, for the love of their country. Other Americans, who would also fight fire with fire, understand the situation as one that obligates them to fulfill a type of social contract. In times of peace, the country provides for them Jobs, education, freedom, and rights, as well as other benefits. In turn, these Americans are willing to engage themselves and others in war with another country, thus satisfying their social duties. They too, are willing to sacrifice time, energy, and many lives for the sake of their country and its interests. Now, in America, where there is freedom of speech and belief, there is a third group of people who would fight the fire-but not with more fire, and who would fulfill their social obligations-hut not with such an anti-social act as war. These Americans understand war to be the antithesis of everything that is good. Therefore, they perceive war to be worse than communism, and worse than cowardice. War, death, destruction, and human suffering become the enemies, and they are not stifled by producing more of the same. Rather, violence is fought with nonviolence, and social obligations are met by fulfilling social needs. Thus the Russians are countered, not by building up or activating our own conventional military forces, but rather, by diplomatic political and economic sanctions. And America fulfills its obligations to the world, not by dealing weapons, but by helping other countries develop socially and economically. The question then, concerning the draft, or even of war, is whether you are willing to sacrifice all for war, victory, and the American way; or whether you will sacrifice it for peace, equality, and ultimately, the human race. Marvin's rebuttle Dear Editor, Attention: Students, faculty, and local residents, Back at the end of September I opened a restaurant in Cullowhee. At that time I installed as manager George Mosher. This person had worked for me twice in Myrtle Beach and had performed his duties in a satisfactory manner. It was also his desire to work for me year round instead of on a seasonal basis. It seemed this arrangement would be beneficial to both parties as he was installed as manager. I think most students will remember an article which ran in this paper Dec. 6th, 1979. I have asked that this article be placed in the paper again so that both the views can be before the "general populace". They can then judge how 'unique' these circumstances were. The following is my story: There were no strange chain of events. As owner of a business, with facts before me, I made a sound business decision. The waitresses were terminated because of complaints recieved by me in Myrtle Beach. The manager because of the same as well as several other problems we could not seem to correct. Mr. Mosher stated he had an oral contract with myself. He did not state however that on two occasions within a month before he was terminated that we discussed instances that needed correcting or we would have to part company 'released' the waitresses on duty with customers present. I do wish this witness would come forward. However in this case I would assume this paper would want to protect their sources. The facts are (1) the restaurant was closed, (2) only people present were my wife, her grandmother, and the waitresses. Now let's continue to Mr. Mosher's statement about his paychecks being held. He did not mention that he wanted to pay this loan as quickly as possible. I am not going into details of the loan. I only wish Mr. Mosher would do this. As for insufficient funds these occured when Mr. Mosher went several days without making a bank deposit even though he was instructed to do so daily. Mr. Mosher stressed that one of his main gripes was that 1 required him to keep the restaurant open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. When we opened in Sept. the hours were 4 p.m. until 11 p.m. Mr. Mosher changed the hours himself without consulting me. I was informed of this move while visiting Mickey Mouse's house in Fla. The next paragraph stated facts about wages and hours of operation. It said the Carolinian had learned the hours of operation would be reduced to the 4 p.m.-11 p.m. shift. I think that everyone will notice by the ad in this paper at present that the Carolinian did not have all the facts again. Mr. Mosher stated something of a bonus which I know nothing about, however, I would like to know if Mr. Mosher worked as hard as he would have you believe, how he had time to leave me with personal long distance calls in excess of $150. As for the new sign, Mr. Mosher was supposed to have ordered the first of Oct. not the middle of Nov. I do not like writing a rebuttal statement in this or any publication. The article ran on Dec. 6th, as 1 was told by Rob Gathings, was a news story. I believe it overstepped the practices of good journalism. In a news story someone should investigate the event fully. My business resumed regular hours (11 a.m.-11p.m.) on Fri., Nov. 30th before this article appeared on Dec. 6th. Neither my wife, who has stayed in Cullowhee, nor myself have been contacted. In closing 1 would like to say I was a student at WCU when iti was WCC. At present I am considering moving to the Cullowhee area. 1 would like to run my business for a fair profit while providing the students, faculty, and residents of Cullowhee USA with an economical place to eat and have a good time. I appreciate the few minutes you took to read this article. I hope to serve you soon. Thank You, Marvin McHone Here is the story that appeared in the December 6 edition of the Western Carolinian: A strange chain of events has occurred at Cullowhee's Starvin' Marvin's on 107, and as a result George Mosher became the former manager. Along with Mosher. three waitresses were fired who were considered by the general populous to be "good waitresses." Mosher said he had had an oral contract with Marvin McHone, the owner, but after operating the restaurant for only three months, McHone's wife gave Mosher his dismissal last Thursday. According to witnesses at the restaurant, McHone's wife, "made a scene" when she 'released' the waitressed on duty at Starvin's in the presence of customers. Mosher also said that McHone had held nine of his ten paychecks because of a loan that Mosher had made. According to Mosher, the checks bounced because of '**«ti«je«l».j*iiW.«4l^ account aWerWeXoan cene" when she Turn to Page 3, please
