Feedback Potshots charged Dear Editor: I would like to take issue with the editorial in last week's Western Carolinian concerning the attitudes of the secretaries on campus. Our campus has a rather large chapter of a group called the North Carolina Association of Educational Office Personnel; over 125 office persons on campus are members. The objective of this group is 'to promote and further the cause of education by improving the quality of office personnel service to the school and community.' Through seminars^workshops', and other forms of continuing education we strive for a high level of professionalism in our jobs. I believe, through my association with this group and my long tenure as a secretary on this campus, that the vast majority of the office personnel on this campus work very hard to assist students in any way and every way possible. We realize that our jobs (and our bosses' jobs) depend on the students at this univeristy. We want to be courteous, friendly, and above all helpful with our students, colleagues, bosses, and everyone else we come in contact with. In a word, we try to be professionals. It is not fair to uiice pot shots at all of the office personnel on campus because of a bad experience with one or two individuals. The professional thing to do in a situation like that is to lodge a complaint with the appropriate person. All of the deans, the vice chancellors, and the chancellor are more than willing to listen to a student who has been abused by an office person or any other person on campus. If a secretary has been rude to you, call that secretary's name in your editorial; don't issue a general call for all of the secretaries to shape up. We respect you--and would like you to respect us. Sincerely, Jeanne Nienhuls, Secretary Technology and Applied Science Although last week's editorial did refer to the secretaries on campus who exhibit inaccessible attitudes, it did indeed recognize those office personnel who work very hard to assist students. In reference to your statement that we are basing our opinion upon "bad experiences with one or two individuals," our unpleasant experiences at the Carolinian have involved more than just one or two personnel. The Carolinian, by all means, commends the good work of the many competent, courteous personnel at WCU. But for those who feel that the negative aspects of last week's article applied to them, well.... Parking dilemma Dear Editor: We frequently go to Bear Lake for boating and have always enjoyed the convenience of the lake. There are a large number of university students who enjoy the lake, but have had to park off the highway and walk to the dam. Recently we observed NO PARKING signs installed where the students usually park and a tow truck removing student cars, thus leaving no access to the lake for students or persons without a boat. It is suggested that the university look into this recent dilemma and find a solution that would help the students and satisfy the Highway Department requirements. Sincerely, Name Withheld Editor's note: I called the Jackson County Sherriff s Office and talked with Chief Deputy Clauson. According to Mr. Clauson, there have been numerous complaints lodged by the local community ranging from indecent exposure to disturbing the peace and killing chickens. Also the huge number of vehicles parked on the side of the road in that area creates a hazard for drivers. Deputy Clauson proposed that the students park their cars In the boating access area which has approximately one acre for parking and walk around the banks of the lake to their favorite spots. This, Clauson said, is actually a shorter hike than walking from the road. 2 /Western Carolinian/September 11, 1980 Editorial Viewpoint... Rice sexist ? Dear Editor: Referring to the article 'What's New With Housing' in the Aug. 28 issue of Western Carolinian; When reading the article on housing at WCU, I was extremely annoyed and disguested at Randy Rice's comment about this year's co-ed arrangement in Scott Dorm. I am referring to Mr. Rice's remark that 'the women involved look toward the men for protection while the men enjoy the female companionship.' Mr. Rice, please enlighten us as to first what sort ot protection you were refering to. Protection from what?? Also, do the women involved not equally enjoy and benefit from the companionship of the men? Your comment brings to mind the ludicrous image of a sweet young thing cowering under the arm of a verile young man, smiling up at his rugged face and sighing, 'my hero!' Mr. Rice, I, along with the majority of women students, find nothing amusing in this depiction. Attitudes such as those reflected in your comment, coming from a person such as yourself in a position of authority, do nothing to restore my faith in WCU as a modern institution of progressive thought. The women on this campus neither want nor need your brand of oppressive patternalism, and 1 therefore believe that you owe about half of the student body an immediate apology. ..by Tony Cole Jennifer, along with other members of the cheerlead- ing squad are looking forward to a great year; for the games and the crowd. Even if you don't know the cheers, stand up and support your team. Also be on the lookout in the Western Carolinian for a "Yell of the Week". School spirit Dear Editor: In reference to your article 'School Spirit Is In' - here is about two-cents worth. 1. Playing 7 out of 11 football games away does not promote school spirit. 2. Playing 15 out of 21 soccer games away does not promote school spirit. 3. Playing 12 out of 19 volleyball games away does not promote school spirit. 4. Lack of support for all sports does not promote school spirit. Sincerely, Name Withheld Sincerely, Nancy C. Welssberg How many? Good spirit, Cats The cheerleaders at WCU were very pleased with the overall attendance and spirit of the fans at WCU's first fttotball game last Saturday night. With Jennifer Evans, captain of the squad and Roger Speers, otherwise known as "Mike-Man", leading the crowd with cheers and screams, the game was even better. Jennifer, who has been on the squad for 3 years, thought the game was great. "We were very happy with the crowd attendence, and hope the good spirit continues." She seemed to think that the fact there are only four home games this year will bring the students and families around. There are a total of eleven cheerleaders on the squad. And of course we mustn't forget the cat. Lu Ann Canipe is the Spirit Chairman; Helen Francis, Secretary; and Susan Fields, the sponsor. Other members are Cecilia Brien. Laura Hoppough, Terri Queen, Linda Haskell, Katie Ryle, Gray Pass, and Cokin McCarthy. The uniforms for the cheerleaders%are new this year and were purchased by the school. We were told in the eighth grade that North Carolina has an even 100 counties. But now we discover that the U.S. Census Bureau has pushed that number up to 101. We received in the mail the other day a "news release" from the Census Bureau giving highlights of its recently-issued "County Business Patterns 1978: North Carolina." Part of the news release read: "The report shows... that Hennepin County had the states highest employment in 1978-220,833,-an increase of 19,464 over the figure for the year before." Hennepin County, North Carolina? Where in heck is that? How on earth could we have missed learning the name and location of a Tar Heel county that is either so large or so populous that it ranks No. 1 in employment among the state's counties? And what, pray tell, is the county seat of Hennepin County? v We have been reading reports all summer of complaints that the 1980 Census has underestimated the populations of cities and towns across the land. So we are understandably astounded to learn now that the Census apparently counts 101, not 100, counties in North Carolina. Wonder how the new Tar Heel county will affect the state's congressional and legislative districts? -The Smithfleld Herald
