  • April 1, 1982/ Editor A Pinko? Dear Editor, I think your leftist viewpoints are just a little out of hand. When the editor of a college newspaper is suggesting that we the student might have something' to say things have just gone too far. 1 don't know where you come up with that communist pinko crap but we are watching you closely. Students for the Far Right T&S Abuse Dear Editor, Last night Traffic and Security stopped my car, syphoned all the gas out of my gas tank, sexually harrased my boyfriend, and then said "Nanie Nanie Boo Boo." To add insult to injury they then returned and gave me a ticket for blocking traffic. 1 do not believe we students should have to put up with such treatment from employees of this university. Still Out of Gas Commy Hunters Dear Editor, As a concerned citizen of this nation of ours I often wonder why the left-wingers, Liberals and Communists are such strong supporters of video games in this, the best nation to ever grace the face of God's green Earth. Just a few days ago, while reading my latest copy of The Commy Hunters Weekly I stumbled over an article by Charles Moore, a top computer programmer who used to work with Safari Games, makers of the popular "Offender," "Slack-Man" and "Flog'Er." In part, here is what the article said: "We are told by many fanatical ideologists who strongly advocate our children's use of videogames for recreational purposes that the games will help develop good hand-to-eye coordination, as well as giving them a constructive thing to do with their spare time, rather thanjoining street gangs that burn and loot thousands of homes and businesses every year. When this is, in factjust a lie that these manufactures hope our gullible society will swallow and continue to shell out some five billion dollars per year to 'help our youth.' "However, and I want to make this very clear, the real reason behind video games is not to help our children's coordination, if it was there would be many more options to choose from other than 'Spaced Invaders.' The real purpose is to reduce the individuals resistance to domination. In the left rear section of the brain there is a small area of tissue known as dominatious impossiblous, which makes Americans harder to control than any other civilization on our planet today, and repeated playing of these games causes this area of tissue to be broken down by a complex enzyme formed by the continuous viewing of High Resolution Graphics, thus reducing the individual's power to know right from wrong (as far as government goes) and makes him submissive to the 'Red Tide'of the USSR." The report continues and says the use of video games for more than one year will cause the breakdown of this tissue, and eventually the fall of democracy. Will we let this happen? I say "NO!" Write your congressman today and voice your opinion to help democracy reign supreme! Sincerely, Lulu May Jones Trip Planned Coupled Jerked Dear Editor, When my girlfriend and I were yanked out of the shower in Leatherwood I was totally shocked. Something must be done to put a halt to those students who are a part of the Moral Minority of this campus. 1 tried to explain we were only attempting to save energy by showering together. The one in the angel get up said they were not going for that one and we were made to march to the Dean of Student Affairs in the raw. To say the least he and my girl and myself were quite embarrassed over the whole incident. Name withheld by request r Introducing the newest fraternity on campus: 1A<1 ^0^S-h CROTCHA ITCH ,■-*'■'■ Terry Neinhuis, professor of English here at Western Carolina University, will sponsor a once in a lifetime trip for English 201 students and any others vaguely interested. The trip will be a journey to either the Neo-Classical period dated between 1650-1800 or the Romantic period dated from 1800- 1900 (correction 1800-1850) depending on the third letter in your middle name. For those who will be going to the ancient and illustrous Neo-Classical period will take an old wooden ship anchored off the coast of Williamsburg, Virginia and, if the wind is right, will set sail to France. Neinhuis thinks this way the students will get the feel for this famous period of history. "The only bad thing about this," says Neinhuis, "is that when the wind is not blowing out there the students will have to man the oars." When and if the ocean-worn crew makes the mainland of France, they will travel by mule in search of the famous Tartuffe. He had last been heard to have been living with a family, whereabouts unknown. Neinhuis hopes the caravan could make it to the house where Tartuffe was living in before Tartuffe came into the play..."He does not come in for a few pages, so I have my hopes up," said Neinhuis. After finding and meeting with this famous historical literary figure, the group will try to discover where LaRouchefoucald got so much common sense for a Frenchman to write his Maxims. Those who will be traveling to the Romantic period will get a special surprise. Instead of trying to round up the effervescent Blake, they will instead attend his Marriage of Heaven and Hell. Students planning to make this trip are advised to have repented all their sins before they leave for Europe. Fireproof clothing is also advised and "gas masks may not be a bad idea,"says Neinhuis. Neinhuis said he had planned to visit the man who survived the Renaissance, Faust, but no one understood him yet. No details of the trip have been made and none are expected until after final exams. "I think it will be the best way for these morons to learn this material, and if it is successful, I may do it next semester," said Neinhuis. is pleased to announce the engagement of Richard Cheek and Jane Watson Congratulations
