  • 2 Western Carolinian/February 10, 1983 Return Comments Dear Editor, This past Saturday I hosted a radio talk sho.w featuring some of the daytime disc jockeys of FM 905. Alter the 60 minute segment ended. I was told "phone call, line two." I picked up the phone expecting to hear a friend but instead, 1 was rudely greeted with, "What the hell are you doing interviewing the daytime DJ's for? No one wants to hear that—. That's the most stupid show I've ever heard." And with a click, the line hummed leaving me no opportunity to defend myself. Since I have no idea as to whom this nameless, profane critic is, I would now like to speak back (tactfully) on behalf of the program as well as the radio station. FM 905 serves WCU (which constitutes over 7,000 students) and the local residents of the Cullowhee and Sylva areas. Within this listening radius, there is a great diversity of musical interests. To accomodate this diversity, FM 905 fluctuates its programming from classical to progressive rock music. The news, public service announcements, talk shows... are also an important and informative part of FM 905's programming. To suit everyone's interests simultaneously is impossible. With this in mind and returning to the phone critic, 1 am sure everyone was not enthralled with Saturday's program, but I will not have mud slung in my face without these return comments (Phone calls are generally two party): First of all, 1 realize 1 am no Phil Donahue or Barbara Walters, and admittedly. I have a great deal of room for improvement. But from now on, if you have something to say about my show or style of programming, why don't you employ a method entitled "suggestive criticism?" Also, learn to differentiate tactfullness from thoughtlessness and I'll be more than glad to hear your comments, critical or complimentary. If you can't be tactful, then don't phone; instead click your radio off and while you're at it. fine tune your own attitude. TACTFULLY submitted, Karen Hope Young - Public Affairs Director FM 905 $12,000 Ripoff Dear Editor, I am one of the student representatives serving on the Foods Advisory Committee this year. Like most students. 1 had never heard of the committee until 1 was asked to serve on it. but now I know how much time and effort the administrators and faculty members serving on this committee spend hoping to help the cafeterias serve the students better. This committee airs student complaints and last semester spent many hours working with some students to develop this year's menu. But the reason I am writing this letter is to give the students some information that the committee feels they should know. From the beginning of last fall semester to the start of this one, many utensils and dining ware have been removed from the cafeteria. Here is just a sample of what was lost this past semester and the cost of these losses: 575 do/en tumblers (plastic glasses) at 24c a piece ($1656) 300 dozen spoons at $1.49 a dozen ($477) 300 do/en knives at $4.08 a dozen ($1224) 300 dozen forks at $2.10 a dozen ($630) These figures do not include the many sugar pourers. salt shakers, trays etc. also lost from the cafeterias. So what does that mean to you the students' The committee estimates that these losses cost each of us $4 a year (added into the price of our meal ticket). Now many of you might think it is worth $4 a year to have a couple of glasses or a set of silverware in your room so why not take it? The most important reason is because each of our $4 add up to approximately $12,000 per year which could be spent by the cafeterias on better quality or different types or more food instead of wasted on having to replace utensils. That is a lot of money and could go a long way to better the meals so many of you complain about. So the next time you feel the urge for a sugar pourer in your room, think about this bit of information. And better yet, if you would like to return any items lost from the cafeteria, it will help keep cafeterias from having to spend your money on replacing utensils. Thank you, Penny Caldwell Ethridge Falsely Accused Dear Editor, The division of traffic court of the Office of the Judiciary serves the students of Western Carolina University in all traffic violations in which they feel they have been falsely accused. Students who wish to file appeals to the traffic court can do so in the S.G.A. office on the second floor of the University Center. As Public Defender, I not only urge you to appeal, (if you see the need to) but to be present at traffic court sessions in which you are directly involved. Though it is not mandatory that you attend, it is. of course, vital to your case. Many students file appeals and do not show up for the court sessions. Some students may not have time to attend on the date prescribed to them by the court. If this is the case, then you can get an extension to the next court session. Again, I will emphasize the fact that it is vital to your case that you attend the traffic court sessions of which you have appealed to. Sincerely, Lawrence E. Hamrick (Public Defender) SGA Update by Pat Carmody , I he S.G.A. is in the process of starting an escort service for all students attending WCU. Hopefully we will have this service underway before Spring Break of 1983. The service will involve only on campus escorts. For example, if a person needs an escort to or from the library, we will provide a phone number that you can call and there will be escorts at a central location (ie. Student Government office). The service would run from Sunday night through Thursday night between the hours of 8:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. II you are interested in being a student volunteer to the escort service, your help will be greatly appreciated. S.G.A is asking for all volunteers to call Pat Carmody or Terry Miller at 227-7299 or 227-7405 for more information as to the requirements of being an escort. S.G.A. is also in the process of trying to obtain some type of special recognition for the volunteer escorts such as year book pictures, jackets, etc. The S.G.A. feels that this can be a good extension of Student Government Services on this campus, but it will not work without the help.of interested students!

Senate Report by Kay Arrowood At the third Student Senate meeting of 1983, President Charles Bonnell began the meeting by reading he mmutes of the January 31st meetmg, which were i fw Kf-nt Cranford s name was added to the ;o'nT::;td,"X^o;eededtoca..therol..Senators Bet Lawson and Mark Howell were absent. As the discussion of old business began President Bonnell gave the chair to President Pro-Tern Tim McBride for the rest of the meetmg so that Pres.dent Bonnell could speak on Senate Resolution 979. After SR 979 received its second reading. Senator Ron Fines, Chairman of the Rules Committee, gave SR 979 a favorable report provided the sponsors accepted a Friendly Amendment. The Friendly Amendment asks that in the "student government elections resolution, the 'election dates for commuter senators, senator-at- large executive elected positions, and referenda be changed to the second Wednesday in April. Senator Delk moved to accept the resolution and the move was seconded After one round of positive and negative debate. Senator Delk called for questions. A voice vote followed and the resolution passed unanimously. The only two items under new business were Senate Resolutions 980 and 981. Both resolutions were given their first readings and then relerred to the Rules Committee for further investigation. SR 980 is "an act to clarify Senate absence policy." This resolution gives the president of the Senate "the power to expell any Senator that has more than two unexcused Senate Absences."SR 980 also gives the Senate the right to decide whether or not to "keep the expelled Senator."
