  • Keep It Home Last weekend, another tragic accident cost the life of yet another student, Martha Sherry Clark of UNC- Charlotte. In my years on this campus, I have seen this episode happen too many times. Just last fall, the Tuckasiegee claimed seven lives in one weekend. Many people enjoy going to parties, and they can be great fun, but people must be aware that roads in the mountains can be hazardous even in broad daylight. Incidents such as these need not be a part of the college atmosphere, and in most cases can be avoided. The incident also brings up the dilemna of beer sales on campus, and parties in dormitories. People are going to drink in any case; if it were kept on campus and off the highways, sure it would cause a few problems on campus, but when you consider the possible cost of NOT having it on campus, the issue becomes a lot clearer. The needless loss of unfulfilled lives must end.JRB Nice Place, WCU Dear Editor, I have just completed my third summer on campus as a faculty member of the " Cullowhee Experience for Gifted Students". I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the Western family for the generous helping of mountain hospitality that has been extended me during each of my visits. The friendliness of the university people is only surpassed by the natural graceful beauty of the Cullowhee area. For both of these, 1 give great thanks. Sincerely, S. Scott Warren Here It Is, Folks! Well folks, we goofed. Last week, the Carolinian ran an article concerning the retirement of Dr. Reubin Swanson. Included in the article was a statement that a letter to Rep. Ernest B. Messer that could be signed and sent to the Carolinian protesting the forced retirement of Dr. Swanson. As you probably noticed, the letter didn't run. Our new equipment went on line Thursday, and we were up until approximately 8:30 a.m. trying to learn how to use it and put a paper out. In the hustle and bustle of the evening, (and the early morning), the letter disappeared and slipped our minds. The Carolinian apologizes for the mistake, and below is a copy of the letter for those interested. JRB Just When You Thought Dear Editor: The lines in the cafeteria have truly outdone themselves thusfar. Cecil has apparently forgotten about the third line in Dodson Cafeteria. For instance, I was standing in line one evening when this gifted(?) young individual spends the entire half hour wait in line being as obnoxious as any one human being could possibly be. 1 would have gladly gone to another line had there been another open to choose from without another thirty minute wait. The cafeteria has the capability to operate with three lines which would be less total work on the employees that work the line. They take much verbal abuse because of inefficient management (mob control) and the students (and others) really don't like to wait a long time to get the food they know they will have to eat when they get there. When you're scheduled for class in 45 minutes and the lunch line is 30 minutes long, it doesn't facilitate proper learning environment for students of all ages. My suggestion is to open and operate all three lines in Dodson Cafeteria and/or open Brown Cafeteria for the simple reason that the majority of students on campus now live in the Brown area. Tell me, Cecil, would you like to have to walk from Harrill to Dodson in the morning just to eat? Please take this into consideration the next time you sit down to think. Sincerely, Charles Lloyd Where's Who? Got a beef? Is there someone in the area who you feel deserves recognition for his/her accomplishments? Drop us a line at the Carolinian, P.O.

Lester Dunlopp HI, KIDS! It's time again to visit Uncle Lester for some Fun and Games! Today's story is about a weird dream 1 had last night after too much mushroom pizza. It was most alarming: I had found a magic kingdom by climbing this Dorm-room green water tower in the high hills of cullowhat township. As I grew nearer to the castle on the hill above the clouds, I had a close call. Barring my entrance to the abode were two rather slow looking canines who's bark was definitely worse than their bite, as they were canditates for a poly-grip commercial. Their house was impressive, however; not many common puppies can boast of a freshly painted picket fence around their little yard. Being friendly, I hailed the resident life forms. "Greetings, Noble beasts. Why do you so tenaciously guard yon parapit?" "We belong to the master of the castle and the guardian of the village below, His eminence Professor E. F. Robinhood. His intimates call him Eggplant, because he is an expert on their pollination." "What manner of person is this Eggplant?" "He is a kindly but boring person who is greatly benelovent' to us and to the inhabitants of the lower regions. Just yesterday he had one of the village people come in here and shovel out our yard. And then he had another paint our fence and our house." "But what does this Eggplant do for a living?" "He used to teach at an institution, but he became too advanced for that and was placed here by The Great Caretaker to look after his flock as they cluster through the halls of the Bucolic setting below." "I see. Sort of like Ozzie Nelson." "Exactly, only he doesn't smoke a pipe." Deciding that I didn't really want to meet someone who kept these brainwashed beasties, 1 hastily sought the nearest form of public transportation. In this valley, it was a choice between the firetruck and the train. I eagerly chose the firetruck. Upon arriving back in the pastoral community, I sought out my companions, none of whom believed my strange tale. I was just about to tell my tale to a beautiful reporter who was interviewing me about leather cufflinks when I awakened. (How unfortunate). Coming Next Week: Battle of the network soap opera extras...freaks on motorcycles...Fun with your puppy...and more! Stay tuned!
