  • \ Letters LETTERS LETTERS LETTERS Just One! Dear Editor, Check this out. It seemed pretty simple at the time. One student needed to use one typewriter for twenty minutes to type one paper. So he went to Forsyth, where there just happened to be two rooms FULL of typewriters. One had a journalism class in it. The other was empty, except for some guy who was working on something. He told the student that he would have to ask the secretary around the corner if it was all right to use the room. She had left for lunch already (11:50 mind you). Then a woman walked up nto the very room the student needed to use and started to unlock it. No, she had the wrong door. But could she let the student in the room? No sir, this room was for "advanced students" only. The student's Typing 1 class didn't qualify him as advanced so the woman started to leave. As the woman began to walk off, laughing at the student's agitation (%c&*!), she said the Dean might be able to help. The dean? Sounded kind of drastic for a typewriter, but the paper was important and the student was in a hurry so he hustled right down to the dean's office. Luckily the Dean was in. These guys stay so busy "finding places to stick books" as Dean McCreary put it, that it's hard to catch one when he has time to see you. The Dean was so friendly, the student had had him for law once. Too bad he couldn't help. The Dean of five hundred typewriters couldn't let the student use one in the "advanced studies room" (or one of the three in the room we stood in for that matter). It had something to do with repair procedures and scheduling and the usual B.S. I'm sure the student is sorry if he disturbed any classes while leaving the building that Thursday. He was just commenting out loud on how the faculty seemed so helpful in providing a hard working student a chance at a quality education. Sincerely, Greg Ryder The amazing red tape monster prowls Cullohwee in the strangest places. Better luck next time, Greg. Vegas Vendors Dear Editor, I am sick and tired of being ripped off by the no- armed bandits that are scattered around this campus. When an individual walks up to any one of the vending machines on campus there exists a gambling element as to whether or not you will win the prize behind the window. Thirty cents is not a great gamble, but when lost on a regular basis it is the source of growing anger and destructive intention toward the cause of this rip-off. I hope the university and the owners of these campus crooks do not become too upset when they find these machines being assaulted by an outraged victim. Name withheld by request Kill-A-Watt Dear Editor, In regard to the "Viewpoint" article in last week's Carolinian (Sept. 17). the picture used at the top of your column was in need of a caption. That picture was taken (by Ken Lauber) on an Outing Club field trip inside the boundaries of North Carolina's own Shining Rock Vlell.Tim, I fi$we \we have three alternatives we cou-W t>uff5ue,-we- could seize hostages and risk diploma^ embarrassment, or rnayk op on strike and probably lose oar jobs, or attempt 1<> wk oaf negotiations and terms and inevitably lose oar minds /.,. Wm^ Wilderness just last Sunday (Sept. 13). The trees were freshly cut (the sap was still running and the bark was white) and what you can't see in the picture is the huge pile of garbage next to the tent. Unfortunately, the White House and Congress aren't the only ones who apparently don't "give a damn about the future anymore." Shining Rock, like most Wilderness Areas and National Parks, suffers from tremendous overuse. What's worse is that the bulk of the people doing the overusing obviously don't know how to take care of a fragile environment. Until back-country users are made to understand the seriousness of this problem the situation can only get worse, considering the recent rapid increase in the use of public lands and the potential for devastation if people like James Watt are allowed to have their way. It would be nice to see more articles of a similar nature in the Carolinian-and even nicer to see some interest on this subject in normally apathetic Cullowhee. Who wants a wilderness area full of stumps, anyway? Sincerely, Curt Newsome It is sad to see a situation like this occur in Wilderness areas. Better control and management of our nation's forests might prevent the spoilage of a great deal of our natural resources. Nothing looks worse than a pile of garbage in a Wilderness area. Fine Young Men Dear Editor, I am writing to thank Mark Jones and the members of the TKE fraternity for their great kindness and thoughtfulness. I am no longer able to take care of my lawn and garden, and they have been keeping it up for me. These fine young men deserve recognition for their useful, unselfish service to others. Sincerely, Esther A. Madison Letters Policy The Western Carolinian welcomes response from readers.
