Page 2/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/February 14, 1980 The^stern Carolinian Member of the Intercollegiate Press Editorial Staff Al Lagano Rob Gathings Mark Wilkins Royce Smith Lee Grant Steve Surles Chip Hammond Bart Bennett E.S. McDaniel Editor-in-Chief Business Manager Managing Editor Associate Editor News Editor Sports Editor Columnist Art Editor Photo Editor Founded 1927 Student poll By Lee Grant News Editor This week the Western Carolinian conducted a poll to see how the students would vote il the Presidential primaries were held this week. The poll consisted of students called at random and also from students polled in various classrooms. The total amount of votes cast was 500 which is approximately 1/10 of the on-campus population. As the two party's votes were tabulated it was apparent that President Carter has gained strong support, at least here on this campus. The president received 67.5 Dercent of the democratic vote while his closest competition. Senator Kennedy polled only 26.7 percent. Governor Jerry Brown of California received only 5.8 percent of the votes cast for the Democrat candidates. Most of Brown's votes came on Monday and a possible factor could be that the governor had just been on TV speaking against muclear energy. On the republican side of the fence, George Bush, who had previously upset Ronald Reagan in Iowa, did so again in Cullowhee. The former head of the CIA and envoy to China recorded just 33 percent of the vote, but was still able to edge out Reagan who obtained close to 30 percent of the vote. In the actual numbers, Bush received 76 votes of the 230 Republican votes cast to Reagan's 69. The rest of the Republican candidated fell off pace with the two frontrunners they still remained In striking distance. Senator Howard Baker received 15.6 percent of the vote, Ford [a possible convention candidate] 9.5 percent and Connally received 8.2 percent.' The other republicans Crane, Anderson, and Dole combined for a mere 3.4 percent. It should be noted that the poll was taken on a primary type basis wbere anyone could vote for ANY candidate. This shows that the Democrats here seem to have found their candidate in Jimmy Carter, while the Republicans have not yet decided. Also 27 persons polled stated no preference and therefore could have changed the victor in the Republican camp. Also the Carolinian asked the same students if they were for or opposed to registration for the draft. After a surprisingly slow start the proponents of the registration pulled out a very close victory obtaining 50.6 percent of the vote to 49.4 percent for those against registration. The following is a breakdown of the election results. Democrats: Carter 164 Kennedy 65 Brown 14 Total votes cast 243 Republicans: Bush 76 Reagan Baker 69 36 Ford 22 Connally Crane 19 4 Anderson 3 Dole 1 Total voter cast 230 Democrats 243 Republicans 230 Uncommitted 27 Total 500 Senate roster 7x3£ U>MST TO "36 £QOAjl...l^tiAr D£> 40a fi\t<\ki... EfcAFT... cSt's* XtttJT i.saw=mH forefathers didn't agree with your anti-draft mentality. If they had refused service during WW II, you might be speaking German instead of English. One thing's for damn sure-he wouldn't be spending his time writing sappy editorials for a small time newspaper in Western North Carolina. Mr. Cochran: living in a democracy enables us to enjoy rights that only a minority of the world's population enjoy. However, for each of those rights you exercise, you entail a responsibility, and yes, Mr. Cochran, that includes a responsibility to defend your country should the need arise. Finally, I hope you are never in a position to practice appeasement and conciliation on my behalf, Mr. Cochran, because I would rather die fighting, rather than see 200 years of democracy bargained away by the likes of you. Yours truly, Mark S.

First Union National Bank. I am from Florida and this is where my parents now live. When they send me any money, it's usually in the form of a check on their bank in Honda. I should note that I don't have a local bank account since I never have enough money to pay the service charges. Anyway, when I presented a check from my parents to the Sylva branch of FUNB, along with 3 I.D.s with my pictue on them. I was rudely and indifferently told by the teller that out of state checks were not cashed by First Union. When I questioned the Assistant Manager on this, he just as rudely told me that "I would have to go somewhere else". I would only like to say that if this is the way a bank handles everyday business in a college town where there are a lot of out of state students, then the banking world is in a state of downhill slide. Quickly. By the way, Wachovia Bank in Sylva cashed the check graciously, not even asking for an I.D. Sincerely, Royce W. Smith Refs not fair Dear Editor, We would like to question the qualifications of the referees in the Intramural department. On February 12, 9.99 and NFL played in a basketball game, in which both teams questioned the calls made by the referees. When the calls were questioned to the referees by team members, it was stated that the call was judgmental. One of the calls was protested, and one of the referees stated, "that it was a judgemental call." We believe that all calls are judgmental; however, who is to be the judge if the referee is not qualified by certain standards. Is it not right to offer intramural games to the studenl body of WCU, and to all interested students, who are willing to play, if the referees are not qualified to referee? Should the referees be paid to referee these games, if they do not understand the rules which apph to basketball and to players. AH rules should be stated before the game to all players, and referees should be qualified to ca participation is to be continued We are sure that this is not the first time this happened. We would like to express our feelings. becauseNFL has tried to play to the best of our abiiitx Sincere^ P'ayerS and t0 the referec- The NFL Players Cochran editorial misguided Open your eyes! In cooperation with SGA, The Western Carolinia presents the current Senate Roster so that you can get involved. Dear Editor, I am responding to a guest editorial which appeared in your paper last week. R.B. Cochran, author of the editorial, certainly makes an eloquent and persuasive argument against the draft. His points are well taken and I agree with him that almost anything is better than war or death. One point though, Mr. Cochran. I'm glad our Dear Editor, The pain was deep so that it cut like a knife through me and then turned to anger. I wanted to throw the mop 1 was using, but instead I bit my lip and turned my head to hide the forming tears. I'm the same person that I was when a full-time student and an RA in Buchanan dorm. Why am I so ignored and treated like a nobody? It's not by everyone, thank goodness, there are those who do respect the worth and dignity of the human being. Turn to Page 3, please.
