Volume 56 Number 9 Voices The Western Carolinian Page 3 Thursday. October 11, 1990 John Marshall Dennis Editor-in-Chief Clarke gains in land purchase Representative James Clarke must think the people of the 1 lth district are slow-witted. With the purchase of Panthertown in Jackson County, he was in the role of a broker for the people. Certainly, he should have disclosed that his property adjoined and would be enhanced by the government's acquisition of that land. Nothing that he said or did implied that his 600 acre property was next door. Having a mailbox on a road traveled by about ten families per day is hardly adequate notice to the nearly 500,000 residents of the district. Yet Clarke enticed the federal government to complete thedeal and create a tidy little in-holding within national lands for himself. Down the line his children can lay claim to owning a valuable tract of land made priceless by Mr. Clarke's skillful manipulation of the public purse. Tom Henry Soldier thankful for support I was a full time student at WCU until Sept. 19, 1990. That's when my student status was temporarily halted. I am a soldier in the N.C. Army National Guard unit (Clyde 211th M.P. Unit) and I am currently at Ft. Bragg, N.C. waiting to be mobilized on over to Saudi Arabia. I just wanted to thank the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity and the entire student body at Western for your efforts in making these stressful times for myself and my fellow soldiers somewhat more bearable. If you're not familiar with what I am referring to, I am talking about the collection stations which Sigma Phi Epsilon has set up so that the fine residents of Jackson County, can make various contributions such as pens, paper, batteries and other items to soldiers over at Operation Desert Shield in Saudi Arabia. It's great to know the American public in general truly appreciates what we are trying to accomplish. Even though I'm wearing the desert camouflage now, my heart remains purple & gold. I hope to see you all real soon. Specialist Jeffrey P. Bronham US Army rr Letters to the Editor In Search of Glacial Beer At every party and social drinking scene, the temperature of the brew being served is closely monitored and regulated. Discarded plastic ice bags are found littered in parking lots throughout Sylva each weekend. Patrons of those few stores in Jackson County lucky enough to have the ABC permit to sell beer and wine know that buying ice to chill the beer is a necessity. Store owners know that the word "BEER" should, must, and ought to be preceded by "COLD." Just look at the road signs - "COLDEST BEER IN TOWN," "COLD BEER," "Special - Ice Cold Milwaukee's Best Light - $2.99 for 12." So the question is raised: "Who Has The COLDEST Beer in this Megalopolis ofCullowhee/Sylva." Well fear not. The investigative reporting team of the Western Carolinian will reveal once and for all who is serving up the frostiest mug of suds around. This exhaustive survey could have been approached in several ways. I could have spent much time (and cash) purchasing beer (imported, of course), taking its temperature, and then drinking it (I'm 23, ossifer). But that might have taken another five years of college, which I don't have. Instead, we'll be doing the next best thing to measuring the temperature of the beer; measuring the temperature of the cooler in which the aforementioned hops, grain, barley, and water products are stored. This procedure also helps inform those who do not drink beer (socially aware students, those under 21, by law, and Fraternity/Sorority pledges on 1-Week) ascertain where they can get the frostiest 6-pack of YooHoo™ in town. Enough of the scientific method, let's get to the important facts: A&P Supermarket: Darryl Jamison, Stockboy and Voice of the Cooler, assisted my assistant (thanks, Beth) and me in determining how cold A&P beer is. Thanks, Darryl. Our semi-official reading was 48 degrees. Almost a Cullowhee Heat Wave. Shell Gas and Grocery: Special thanks to Chris Brooks at Shell, he gave us his opinion as to the coldest beer (Package Store) and helped with the readings. Coke and Coors are a chilly 39 degrees. That place next to the ABC Store, Rex's: I didn't know this place had a real name beside "Becr-Store-Next- To-The-ABC-Store." It does, and Rex' s Package keeps its wide variety of wines, coolers, and beer at a crisp and cold 35 degrees. Majik Mart: Tom, the Associate Manager and very busy attendant here at the Mart for Majik, claims the temperature is set to 39 degrees. I believe him. Helpful Hint: Try sneaking your beer into the Ice Cream Cooler placed next to the door. If you leave it there for a while (and not get caught), I figure that you could lower that lager a few precious degrees. Don't say that I told you about this trick. PJ's BP (formerly Gulf Gas): Well, I tried to ply an answer out of the wonderful lady at the counter, but, alas, to no avail. I've seen claims of "Coldest Beer In Town" (pg. 4 of this paper, in fact), but I cannot verify or discredit this. Sorry. But, I am sure that they are "Your Party Headquarters!" Sylva Package (keg HQ): Brace yourself. The beer at Sylva Package is the coldest I've witnessed coming out of a store cooler. No lie, the owner pulled a Miller Genuine Draft out that was frozen! That's cold! Helpful Hint: Microwaving beer is not a good idea when trying to thaw it out. I've tried it in desperation. All you get is foam and beer-cube that floats in t!ie bottle. Bummer. I was given the royal tour of this establishment and must say that I was impressed. The Keg Cooler is kept at a modest 38 degrees. In case you have not seen it, the keg coolers are larger than most dorm rooms on campus, with almost as much beer. Add a cot, blanket, and cable TV and I could live in one. Reminds me of Reynolds with no heat.... And that's the wrap-up Sports Fans. Award for Sub-Arctic Beer goes to Sylva Package. At the other end of the heat spectrum is the voluminous A&P cooler. I would not advise drinking it off the shelf without additional cooling. I know that I did not include the old Hop-In towards Dillsboro. I figure that if you have to go that far out for beer, you won't care how warm it is. Oh, by the way, if you are a Hardee's of Cullowhee employee and happen to place a clandestine six pack in the walk-in, you can be sure it will go down at 39 degrees. That's about all for this reporter. I'm thirsty. See ya in the check-out line and "Thank you for your support." Fraternity complains of conflicts Editor's Note: This is a copy of a letter received by the Carolinian office. It is presented here merely for the purpose of displaying the feelings and opinions of the Kappa Alpha Order and does not necessarily represent the views of the Western Carolinian. Coach Steve Hodgin, I am writing you concerning the incident which took place on the night of Saturday, October 6, 1990 at the KA house involving members of your football team. After reviewing the facts of the incident, I have concluded that the members of the Kappa Alpha Order of Delta Alpha Chapter were at no fault in this unfortunate incident. Basically, the members of the Western Carolina University football team who came to the KA house were not invited, and came to the KA house with one objective: to start a physical fight. My organization feels that because of past incidents concerning the football team and this most re cent incident, that this ignorant behavior of your players is a reflection of the Western Carolina University football team coaching staff. Obviously, this team is undisciplined and the coaching staff has no control over its own players. I am understanding to the problems on the field, but the behavior off the field of your players is unexcusable. This team has become an embarrassment to the students and administration of Western Carolina University, and the surrounding community. This is a disciplinary problem of your coaching staff, which I hope will soon be rectified. Because of your players actions, my organization has rescinded all support from the Western Carolina football team for the remainder of the 1990 season. Also, we are requesting that your football players, unless affiliated with a Greek organization, not step foot on KA property. If this request is broken, legal actions will be taken immediately upon the player found on our property. Let me remind you that this is not the first incident in which KA has encountered problems with the university football team this year. In all incidents, I consider your players to be at fault. It has also been called to by attention that other fraternities have been receiving similar problems. I am sorry that this situation had to come to such a negative letter, but I felt you should know how one organization, as well as many other students of the university are viewing your football team. I feel that this is the only way to protect my organization from any further problems with your team. If you have any questions concerning my comments or sanctions against your team, please feel free to call me after Fall Break at 293-xxxx or 227-xxxx.
