Western Carolinian/November 29,1984 Editor's Page ning By Heather Frey Merry Christmas- It's Cabbaage Patch Season! Thoug Ken Harris It never ceases to amaze me how mature, intelligent adults can go crazy over little,bald, ugly rag dolls. Ofcourse rm talking about the Cabbage Patch Craze. The way people are reacting is ridiculous. A woman in Anderson was recently trampled (not seriously) by a mob trying to get the last thirty or so dolls on the shelves. This is ridiculous, ludicrous behavior. I could understand such conduct if a Teller II suddenly started spewing money out or if someone was dropping food all over Ethiopia. Acting like a crazed maniac would be perfectly acceptable, but to act this way over little baby dolls!'! "Oh. but they come with adoption papers.'" Atleast that's what my friends and ,yes, even people in my own family always tell me in an attempt to win me over to the frenzy. I always say, "So?" Seriously, what difference does it make whether a doll has pedigree papers or not ? People say that the Cabbage Patch Baby Dolls will be worth a real fortune someday...and they let their kids play with these things? For all this foolishness, I hope the bottom drops out of the market. Recently it was announced in The Western Carolinian that some people in Buchanan were collecting tabs from cans in a campaign to earn a little girl an extra day on a kidney machine. The other day a Sig Ep came into to tell me that he and his brothers were sponsoring a drive to help Buchanan's campaign. Dannie (the Sig Ep) told me that he had personally collected 950 tabs! That's a lot of... Pepsi. Way to go. guys! The Buchanan office will be accepting tabs until the end of this semester and I urge everyone to help this cause out. In the lower left-hand corner of the Editor's Page you will find a questionaire. It's purpose is to get some student input on who are good teachers and who are bad ones. The findings will be published this spring in a book that will be handed out at registration. Not sure which professor will be the easiest to learn under? Look him up in this book and get some opinions. It may help you to avoid some heartache and Ws in the future. So, please fill out the form below, burn or praise a professor who warrants your special attention, and turn it back into SGA. Until next week, A Cabbage Patch Realist Go After Your Scope \(These are my personal opinions. They do not represent LMP as a part or whole.) Scopes. What a concept. Every day hundreds of us are scoping each.other out, and every day the same hundreds of us sit idly by while our scopes go about their business. Now don't take me wrong— many people have what it takes to just go for what they want. But for the most part we seem to be scared of each other. My question is — why are we, the most intelligent life form known, so afraid to throw away our inhibitibns and go for it? I'll, tell you why. It's that Demon of Illusion, the Prince of Letdown— Denial. Ol' Denial has been around for some time now, and his icy fingers have slapped us all in the face once or twice. There is nothing so humiliating as to be denied in front of the whole world. But, alas, there's hope. What if your scope actually likes you? It happened to me once, and I never felt better in my whole life. If you don't go for the best you can find, then you'll never know what it's like to have it. So what if Denial spits on your heart? Is that so bad as acting like a snob and keeping your distance? Make your plans and carry them out. Trip your scope while she's carrying her lunch tray (just kidding), and I'M guarantee that she'll notice you. Actually, a smile and kind "Hello" in passing is enough to melt anyone's heart— if they're interested. And even then you may have to do it twenty-three times before you get a real response. Of course,ladies, this all mm I™ in imuLu imvi Ma|i|n'u un ivapuim.. «_m v-uuisciauics, iiii5 an i needed lt Letters to the Editor goes double for you— find your man and hang on tight. A steady partner (in whatever) is a basic human need. Sigmund Freud proved that to us. So how about those Basketball Cats? If you've never been to a game in The Cage then it's time you tried it. Where else can you go in Cullowhee and scream your head off with several hundred other delirious fans? In all my years here I've missed one home basketball game, and I've never seen a boring one. Why does the press call Reid Gym "The Cage?" Take a couple of hours and find out for yourself. Riled-up Cat fans are a spectacular thing to witness, and it's free to us. What more do you want? See ya' there. I'd like to thank my friends for their support in the past week. I needed it. Dear Ms. Frey, I am writing to you regarding your decision twice this semester not to inform the WCU student body of major events which our campus organization promoted. Both times our articles were typed, well organized and met the deadline. On September 27th you chose not to include any part of an article you were given by the Society for Animal Welfare regarding the world observance of World Farm Animal Day held October 2nd for which our group was responsible for informing the public in this part of the United States. On November 1st you chose not to include any part of an article you were given by our group announcing our November 6th meeting on Animal Research and the local showing of the Genneralli Tapes recently publicized by 60 MINUTES. THE SYLVA HERALD included quite a lengthy article informing the community of the November 6th meeting, but THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN did not even provide interested students with the bare essentials of date and place. In spite of your negligence we had a good turnout for our meeting thanks to the efforts of the local and university radio stations, the SYLVA HERALD and our officers who put up posters and informed others. It is interesting to note that the editor for WESTERN ALTERNATIVES, Mr. Graham Erlacher, chose to attend our meeting and has since asked our organization to write an article for his paper. It is a shame that university funds provided for your paper have not resulted in better consciousness raising opportunities for the students. It would be worth your time and effort to review the newspaper of other universities for content and depth. The university community is comprised of intelligent insightful, well educated individuals who deserve a newspaper which provides them with stimulating and challenging reading material. However, since your paper offers the reader little more than articles on football, rock stars and beer advertisements,-1 am beginning to see why WESTERN ALTERNATIVES was developed. Since this last incident with your newspaper, I have spoken with numerous campus affiliated individuals inlcluding graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, and administrators regarding the operation and output of THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN. Needless to say their comments reflect my concerns. I say this to let you know many people on this campus believe the needs of this university are not being met with respect to the written media. Maybe it is time you redefine the purpose and goals of THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN to better align them in meeting the needs of your audience, the university community. Sincerely, Sandra D.

Note The choice not to run your articles, Mrs. Annable, was purely an editorial decision, not "negligence." I felt that both these events were receiving sufficient coverage from other local media and I'm sorry you disagree with my decision. I will admit that choosing not to run these articles bothered me very little for one reason. Every animal rights organization I have ever dealt with has been narrow- minded and irresponsible. I was going to be as fair with your society as I am to any other group on campus until I saw the attitude with which your articles were delivered. It was, "Print this." Not, "Would you print this?" or "Could you fit this?" Just because something meets the deadline doesn't guarantee its publication. Many things are cut and left out on Wednesday nights to make room for more important stories. I'm sorry you took the deletion of your stories so personally. Sadly, though, your misunderstanding attitude about it has only served to lower my respect for animal groups. I am not a sadist, I am a realist. Cruelty to animals is inhumane, no pun intended. However, I stand firmly on the belief that without animal experimentation medical advances would be far behind where they are now. As for the second half of your letter concerning the content of the Western Carolinian, your advise will be taken into consideration. Thanks for the thoughts. Dear Editor, It was interesting to note that in the article "The Campus Eccentrics" by Ken Harris in the November 15, 1984 edition of THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN that the last names of both of these eccentrics begin with the letter "B." William Shakespeare wrote: 'To be or not to be, that is the question." Undoubtedly, Jimmy B. and Don Badgley understand the question. Be yourself. Sincerely, Don "Rabboni" Badgley A Child of the Air Dear Mr. Melrose, Who the Hell are you? Skull Billy Graham's Column and As the Campus Turns appear on page 8. fiorl WARNING*. t«c SToi>e*jTs-fM-(5EN>efcAL- HAVt DETEieM/AJED THAT F/Mfli- EX/^AfS Dear Mr. Melrose: Concerning your last article in the Western Carolinian, do you feel that a person's right to his own opinion should be taken away simply because he holds a leadership role in an organization? We personally were entertained by Mr. Harris's article and fully understood, as a result of his retraction at the beginning of that article, that those were his opinions only, and not necessarily those of Last Minute Productions. We noticed no retraction at the beginning of your article, does this mean that your opinions are also those of the University Center Out Door program? You started in your article "I feel comfortable in stating that most members of LMP do not hold the same views as Ken Harris," we would like to know who gave you the right to conclude this? We feel that, if responsibly stated, an opinion has a right to freely express, including Mr. Harris, whom we feel did so. Andie Fishel Carolyn Idol The Pre-health Professional Student Association and Student Government are conducting a Teacher Characteristic Identification project. The purpose of this project is to assist students in selecting professors best suited towards their individual needs. No longer will you have to rely on word-of-mouth in selecting instructors. This is an exciting new project that we believe will be invaluable to you all, and we need your help. Below you will find the student questionnaire. Take a few minutes to fill out the form then cut along the dotted line and return the questionnaire to the SGA office on the second floor of the Hinds University Center or in the drop off box located in the Library. If you have any questions please contact Mark Harrison in the SGA office at 227-7405 or 227-7299. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
