Carolina is dirtier than Western because of the number nt students Carolina houses compared to Western. Still if you walk through the campus you will find very little trash if any. In fact the only area where you might find an abundance of trash is in front of the Townhouse. And that area is cleaned up usually everyday. The credit for our clean campus goes to both the students and the faculty. The people in the physical plant should be commended too for their efforts to beautify the campus. The natural beauty that Is Western Carolina can only be maintained through the responsible behavior of the students and the faculty. Even if the highway commission insists on tearing down our mountains at least we can try to maintain an attractive campus. Observer Quits It has recently come to my attention that the Charlotte Observer has decided to discontinue circulation to Cullowhee. To those of us who make the daily trek to DJ's to buy a decent newspaper, this Is quite disturbing. To the person who likes good investigative reporting, this leaves only the Atlanta Constitution, which provides no coverage for the Carolinas. The only other alternative, The Asheville Citizen, is suitable only for the avid coupon collector, due to their massive amounts of ads. If you feel the same way I do about the situation, call the Observer at 1-379-6716 and voice your opinion. E.Y. personnel, we get alot of requests from alot of people. And believe it or not, Mr. Prather, some people like disco, pop rock, punk rock, and yes even mellow rock, not to mention classical and jazz. We are a campus/community radio station and we normally have about 8000 people to satisfy. So, Mr. Prather, we can't play every song that you like: on the the other hand we can't play every song that we(the DJ's) like either. We try to please everyone as best we can. That includes playing progressive album oriented rock, disco, classical.jazz, Top 40, etc. Give everyone a chance to hear the songs that they like, too. When you own this radio station, you can run it the way you want; until then, let's be fair. Sincerely, Tracey L. Davies Kevin [Michaels] Maurer P.S. Having the night time air shift, which is traditionally completely album oriented, I have found I get at least three times as many requests for Top 40 songs than I do for album rock, so I try to please everyone by playing the requests keeping with that 3:1 ratio. It seems, Tracy, that you are not completing the train of logic here. If you cater at the ratio of 3/1 then the people who like that one percent will either A) suffer through the other stuff B) make a request or C) turn the radio off. How are you going to count the people you COULD please if you don't try it and see what they say? Also, you named five different idioms and an "etc." Did you figure those into your one ratio? J.T. Time to dig through the old song sheets once again boys and girls [excuse me just boys). The first stage of the draft registration is back. Even though it isn't the actual draft, registration enters you in the ultimate lottery. President Carter's latest bill that has passed through both Houses is by far his worst, [which is saying something) since he took office four long years ago. The Bill is both discriminatory and political. By discriminatory I mean that the registration only effects males between the age of 18 and 20. Not only is this sex discrimination it is also age discrimination. Not that I want to be one of the lucky ones [I'm 22] who have to report to the Post Office to sign up, but still it Is blatant discrimination. Yet President Carter is no fool. There Is a point in his registration plan but that point is only political. It should be noted that the lowest percentage of voters come in the 18-20 age group. Also if women were required to register, the President might feel the wrath of both feminist and anti-feminist alike when the polls open again in November. This with the popularity polls showing Reagan ahead of Carter is enough to make any president feel that he should limit himself to the one group that could do him the least amount of damage. However, one should not believe that once the Congressional and Presidential elections are over the registering age will not go up. It is quite possible that the age might be increased to 25 or 26. Once re-elected [God help us.], President Carter could get it into his head to reinstate the draft completely to make up for our crumbling military. Once again the roads to Canada will be filled with students trying to get out of a war that the next President will later call immoral and there will be demonstrations on college campuses. At least we will be ridding ourselves of the apathy that has plagued our schools since the end of the Vietnam War. Yet the price seems a hit too high. While fighting for one's country is a noble act one should first learn if he or she is indeed fighting for the country or a group of overaged paranoid men in the Pentagon who live in fear of life without war. Should someone attack either our nation or one of our allies, we should fight. However, to fight in a country "for their freedom" against someone that they will not fight themselves, is ridiculous. Yet, as in Vietnam, it could happen again. Let us decide where and what we want to fight for, but do not inscript us into the service like the British Navy back during the Revolutionary War. If we must fight, we will, but only for a worthwhile cause, not just over a couple of barrels of oil. Life is just a tire swing. Campus Clean If one good thing can be said about our glorious school it is undoubtedly the fact that unlike most other universities, Western has a clean campus. Traveling to places such as Carolina or Marquette you will see beautiful campuses marred only by trash. But here at home you will only find a well kept campus. Of course it can be said that the University of North O.J. 's Speak Out Dear Editor; Being radio station personnel, especially on-air OOPS! In last weeks "Pull, Cotton, Pull," The Western Carolinian wrongly stated that the library will be closed of July 4th. It will be opened until 6 p.m. Sorry about that folks.
