Editorials Stop the carnage at Belk Danell Moses Editor Dear Readers, Have you walked by the Belk Building lately? How did you enjoy seeing the skeletons and rotting flesh? Yes, I am referring to the dead bird reamins, not a work that is part of the alumni exhibit! If the bond issue is passed in November, maybe something can be done (immediately) to stop the carnage. Some solutions to this dreadful plight have been suggested to me. One suggestion is thatblinds be put up in the windows of the walk through so that the birds could tell that there was something there. My friend also said this had been tabled because of the expense and the maintenance. My question is "what expense?" We, the students who don't like the bloody mess, could go to WalMart or Roses and buy some blinds, get the interior design majors to pick the color and style, come back and have the industrial engineering majors attach them to the window casings. Or what if we put up the kind of tinting that people can install on their car windshieds. This would not be so hard to clean. The main problem would be making sure it was of high enough quality not to get those annoying bubbles in it when we put it on the windows. Right now the tempoary solution has been to put up various pieces of artwork to deter the birds from flying into the windows. This seems to work a little bit, but the artwork has to be replaced each time the windows are cleaned. Thesearesimplistic answers, butwho said everything has to be complicated with so much red tape? If you have other ideas, let me know. We need* to have some input whether the bond is voted in or not. Happy Halloween! - hope to hear from you soon. Gun control advocates are uneducated Brett Ferguson Columnist The Brady Bill has many supporters across America. Most of these supporters are educated, professional (albeit liberal) people. They are also the same people who wage total war whenever any other Constitutional right, such as the right to freedom of speech, press or religion, is attacked (they don't want to let parents spank their children though). Why, then, do they actively fight to takeaway the rightof legitimate gun owners to "keep and bear arms" (criminals already don't have that right)? One reason is that most anti-gunners EDITORIAL have never fired a gun or even seen one except for on TV or in the movies. They don't understand the legitimate recreational and defensive uses for guns and therefore don't understand why anyone other than a criminal would want to own one. They regard the members of the "gun culture" as uneducated rednecks who are borderline criminals themselves. It is past time that these so-called "educated" anti-gunners, who want to control everyone else's lives, were truly educated to the truth of the matter: gun control laws are not going to keep guns out of criminals' hands; they are only going to unjustifiably punish the legitimate gun owners. Furthermore, not only do legitimate gun owners not commit crime, they can also thwart many crimes just by owning a gun. Federally funded research indicates that 60% of inmates questioned said they feared armed victims more than they did the police. Gun control advocates, it's time for you to take a good look and realize not only that guns are not the enemy, but that you are doing exactly what you hate most, trying to take away someone's Constitutional right. Gun owners and enthusiasts, it's time for you to stop assuming that the NRA will take care of protecting your rights and start actively fighting to protect them yourself. Ferguson's editorial misinterpreted Letters Editor: In reference to the editorial about racism by Brett Ferguson, I'd like to say CONGRATULATIONS BRETT! For those of you who responded negatively, read it again —and this time pay closer attention! In his editorial, not once did Brett say anything harmful to any groups of a "minority." I believe it was the OES president who took everything Brett said negatively, therefore taking it personally. I'm sorry to inform you, but Brett never mentioned your group in particular (so sorry to disappoint you). What he did say was that thereare many groups and organizations set up for minorities (and only minorities) to participate in. One example would be pageants. Yes, believe it or not, there is a Miss Black America pageant. Are you going to tell me that anyone who wants to enter can? Think again. And may I remind you that the "original" Miss America pageant has already had two black women win in the last 4 years (go figure). I have also come to the conclusion that many of you have misinterpreted Brett's passage where he compared African- Americans to Italian-Americans (etc). Brett was simply saying that no matter what your heritage, we are all Americans, and we all share the freedom that comes with that title. The only difference is this: When you are an Italian-American, you're called Caucasian; African-Americans are called Blacks; and Spanish-Americans are called Mexicans. Who's to say whatyou are? We are all Americans, and that is all that should matter. Maybe I should be considered a minority, according to the way some of you responded. You say you're proud of your heritage? Most of us are, but if I was given a title because of my heritage and the pride I had for it, I would be called a German-Polish- British-French-Indian-American! Is that really the way all of us should be titled? Excuse me for believing we were the United States of America. Maybe we should change our nation's name to the Immigrants of America! (Be careful not to offend all of the other countries in the world). In conclusion, I ask you to remember one thing if you forget everything else: if in your heart you think ofyourself disadvantaged because you're a minority, everything you do or any thing someone says to you, will be translated as a racist remark and may offend you. But, when you act like an American, you'll be treated like an American. Not only that, but that is when you know you're not going to allow yourself to be treated as a victim of racism. I'm not telling you to give up your pride but to simply shift it a little. If someone treats you in an way shouldn't be treated (because of your race), be the bigger one. Stand taller, smile and tell them to get a life. Most importantly, you'll know that they didn't get to you. And to think, it's all because you wouldn't allow them to be a racist! All American
