Tribute Tyree Kiser: Dedication Speaks For Itself.. .A ndHim by Larry Hardin In understanding that this university is not a single entity, but rather an arrangement and coordination of many people's time, energy, and labor, the Western Carolinian feels some acknowledgement of appreciation is in order. Many individuals involve themselves daily with our education, well being, and enjoyable time while at Western. Many, if not most, do thankless tasks that enable all of us to reach our goals of completing a degree program. It is by their combined effort that there is a place called Western Carolina University, and they are the people who live and work in Cullowhee and make Cullowhee the pleasant place it is. Out of our appreciation and recognition of these individuals and their part in our education, the Carolinian will now carry a feature spotlighting a working personality at WCU. This is done to express our gratitude to all of the good folks that make our education possible. This week the Carolinian is proud to say thanks to an individual who has been with this university since 1956 as an employee. Prior to working here, this individual also earned his B.S. and Masters Degree from Western. Altogether our personality has been associated with WCU for over thirty years and has done an outstanding job his twenty five years as an employee of Western. There are many readers who know we are referring to Tyree H. Kiser, Jr., Director of Admissions, and his distinguished work for, and at Western. After serving in Korea, Mr. Kiser went to Garner- Webb Junior College and was awarded his A. A. Degree in 1949. He came to the Western Carolina Teachers College and gained his B.S. Degree in 1951 and went on to earn his MA. Degree in 1953. After graduation. Mr. Kiser worked for the Sylva Elementary School as the principal from 1951 to 1956. At this time he took employment with WCU as the Alumni Secretary and as the Field Representative of the university. In the years that followed, Mr. Kiser's outstanding work for Western was not overlooked, for in 1963 he was chosen to create the first Admissions Office and to be its Director. In 1963 he was also to receive the WCU Alumni Distinguished Service Award for his work at Western. During his eighteen years as the Director of Admissions, % Mr. Kiser has journeyed more than half a million miles on behalf of the university; and in this time he has also served on committees such as the Financial Aid Committee, Retention Committee, the Admissions, and the Readmissions Committee. Mr. Kiser was selected, in 1978 to be the first recipient of the Paul A. Reid Distinguished Service Award. This award is based on the extent and quality of the service contributed to the general welfare and enhancement of WCU as an institution of higher learning. As a person in the Cullowhee community, Mr. Kiser is known to be a devoted family man with lour children he and his wife have raised and put through college. Mr. Kiser and his wife, Sarah, are members of the Cullowhee First Methodist Church where he has served on its Board of Trustees. He has been cited by his staff, colleagues, and students having contact with him as being a man of high moral character who has a deep interest and concern for those that work with him and for him. Mr. Kiser has earned, through his professional attitude, his congenial nature, and his positive personal image, the respect, admiration, and loyalty of those individuals that come into contact with him. Thank you Mr. Tyree Kiser for your long and dedicated efforts to the students of this university. Without your efforts many of us might never have heard of this place called Cullowhee or Western Carolina University, and for some of us, the Cullowhee experience might be the highlight of our lives. In your life you have come into contact with many people who are aware that their lives are the better from their interaction with you, especially us students. This in itself is a contribution that is worthy of our respect and appreciation, and you have that from the students of this university. Thank you so much. INSIDE IDEAS INTERIOR DESIGN -293-5262- *Norman's of Salsbury & Carol Custom Window treatments and bedcoverings * Mini Blinds * Woven Woods * Window Quilts * Wallpaper -Call 293-5262- (Sandra Green) Certified Interior Decorator Observations by E.G.Rhett Dun Lex, sed Lex ^L^^^^^^^^^^H ("The Law Is an Ass, but it is the Law"-rrans., Mark Twain) In the annals of earliest recorded human times, we discover that even the most simply organized societies have found need for some sort of orderly code of rules or laws to be necessary for their well-being. As those societies aged and became more complex in a variety of ways, so did their law books, and, now that the High Foreman of the Cullowhee Plantation is seriously considering backing a petition to the State for incorporating Cullowhee (mainly that certain ABC listed beverages might be dispensed and keep the Slaves calm and quiet!), the Great Mid-Foreman in charge of Legal Matters has approached me, of all people, to aid him in working out some laws that can be useful when the innocent Plantation becomes a worldly-wise City. I have made the following recommendations, along with others, to the Great Mid-Foreman, in the hope that these laws, if inacted, might make the new City a more attractive, if not a more curious, place for happy human habitation, not to mention co-habitation. These are but a sampling of the several hundred such suggestions that I have offered him, but they provide a reasonable representation of the kind of legal thinking that will apply to the intellectual state of those whom they have been designed to govern. 1. Fishermen must take off their hats to the High Foreman and to the local Game Warden. 2. Ladies portrayed on calendars in Public Saloons must be decently clothed when a Low- Foreman is present. 3. It shall be illegal for any tenant Slave to bite his landlord, except for the Great Quartermaster- Foreman. 4. Corrupt practices or bribery by any person other than a candidate for office at the Foreman level shall be prohibited. 5. It shall be illegal to bathe in the Courthouse Square Fountain (all Foremen are excepted, of course). 6. Barbers employed by the Plantation shall be forbidden to eat onions or garlic from 7 am to 7 pm. 7. A man shall be granted an absolute divorce if he gives his wife ten pounds of dried beans, five pounds of dried apples, one side of beef, and enough yarn to knit her own stockings for a year's time. 8. Forbidden dances shall include the following: the Texas Tommy, the Duck Wobble, the Angle Worm Wiggle, the Coonie Trot, and the Kangaroo Glide. 9. The growing of Dandelions shall be prohibited within the City limits, except on premises owned by Foremen. 10. It shall be illegal for anyone other than the Great Mid-Foreman in charge of Legal Matters to arrest a dead person for debt. 11. Drinking beer or other spirits in one's underclothes shall be considered a misdemeanor. 12. The Encyclopedia Britannica must be banned because it contains the formula for making whiskey of various kinds. 13. It shall be considered illegal to mispronounce, misspell, or otherwise misrepresent the name of Cullowhee. 14 Operating a motor vehicle while asleep, except for certain early-rising Farmers, shall be unlawful. 15. Taking a bath without a prescription from the Plantation Physician is prohibited. These laws, and others similar to them, can be, in my opinion, most useful to the present and future inhabitants ot Metropolitan Cullowhee. My old and dear friend, Uick Hyman, a law-commentary writer from New York <-Jty, has kindly agreed that my suggesting this set of rules adequately reflects the attitudes, ideas, and aspirations of the average citizen of the Cullowhee Plantation, which is, atter all, the most that any law or rule can be expected to Surely, the Great Mid-Foreman in charge of Legal Matters will see fit to include these notions when he aiempts to blanket the citizenry with only the most deliberately considered restrictions and the most meagre ireedoms as possible. At the end of the day, what greater cnanenge than to determine the fate of several thousand affauV arC Present|y rather content with their state of Valete! 4 September 3, 1981
