I've never seen the office flooding with so many letters to the editor. I think Mr. Ferguson may have struck a nerve in the student population! I believe (in a nutshell) what he was trying Danell Moses Editor to say is that regardless of our color or our heritage we should all try to get along. One editorial asked why we mentioned the fact the men involved in the Sig Ep incident were football players. The letter implied that we made reference to race; we did not. We referred to the men as EDITORIAL players because most students use players as role models and this proves that football players are human too. I hope everyone enjoys Public Safety reports this week! I wish all the articles were enjoyed and read as much! -see ya in two weeks! Letters OES President presents facts Mr. Ferguson, I was really disappointed with your editorial last Thursday. When you mentioned Lyndon Johnson and his programs, you said that minorities were given the opportunity to be on the same level as whites. May I correct you in saying that minorities were not the only people struggling to become financially stable, but also other whites. So when you want to write about government programs, you need to take a look at the entire scheme of things. Minorities were not the only people depending heavily on government assistance then, and they are surely not the only one now. Yes, Mr. Ferguson, imagine that! In your editorial, you also mentioned "racially exclusive clubs and organiza tions." Could you please give the name of the one you "mentioned" with the beauty pageants? You were talking about OES, the Organization of Ebony Students. I don't know if you knew the organization's name. But then again, if you knew who you were writing about, you would have known that OES is not one of those "organizations". As President of OES, I feel I have the duty to educate you and other WCU students about "us." The Organization of Ebony Students is, as a matter of fact, open to all WCU students. I can understand why some students may be misled by the name, but I don't understand how a student can write about something he knows absolutely nothing about. If you want to talk about clubs or organizations that may be hard to get into, talk about Western Gold; talk about Alpha Lambda Delta;; talk about becoming a Chancellor's Ambassador; talk about anything else except OES and others you know little to nothing about. You have been misinformed as have many students at this university. You were absolutely correct when you wrote that "it's time to wake up," but you and many others have yet to do so. And what you think about any "hyphenated American" is your opinion and you are, as an American, entitled to that. And I, as an African-American, am entitled to mine; I am an American, an African-American! Let me just add that these "hyphenated Americans" have done more for America than America could do for itself. Who taught you about this country's history? Sabrina Redfearn OES President School spirit and parking addressed Dear Editor, This started asa response to the editorials about the "parking problem" on campus, but we decided to broaden the subjects. During Homecoming Weekend, LMP sponsored an impressive array of activities. Friday night showcased a national talent in Delbert McClinton. The attendance was abysmal. There were no more than 300 university students. There are never ending comments to the effect that, "there is nothing to do around here." LMP is one of the best student programs of any school this size. Our suggestion is to read the newspaper and participate in their events. What does this have to do with the parking issue? By being more active on campus, you find many other activities that you never knew existed. This might be achieved by not allowing freshmen to bring cars to campus. More freshmen would then stay on campus during the weekends and be more likely to attend school activities. This would build school spirit and hopefully carry over to attendance to school activities. This would build school spirit and hopefully carry over to their later years when they would be permi tted vehicles. Ride sharing could take care of any homesickness and with fewer people driving, there would be less contribution to the burning of hydrocarbon fuels which help the Smokies earn their name. An added benefit of staying on campus for the weekends would be more time for study and use of the library which will lead to improved grades. Think of the number of open parking spots this creates! A second suggestion is that the dormitory students not be allowed to drive to class. Consider the time spent looking for a parking place which is not that much closer that the dorm parking lot. Wouldn't it be wiser just to walk? It certainly is better for you physically. Here is a question for the commuters. Is the problem finding a parking spot, oris it finding one within a two minute walk to your class? There is certainly always a parking spot, at most, 15 minutes from any location on campus. Why pay to build an unnecessary, ugly parking garage (which is likely to increase fees!) just to save yourselves a very small amount of walking? People across the country pay to go to a workout place to exercise on a stair climber. You have your own natural stair climber right here and its FREE. If you have some comments on this we'd be happy to hear about them. Bring them to the next WAH (Western After Hours) "bitch session". Look for the announcement in this newspaper. Sincerely, Paul Brandt and Scott Sportsman Nicholas scolded Dear Editor, One of the first requirements of good journalism is the accurate reporting of information. In your September 30 issue, Hayley Nicholas reported on an incident at the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house which resulted in "five of Western's football players" being implicated in an altercation. Her facts are incorrect. Why was there a need to identify the young men as members of a particular group, and what difference does it make anyway? For the record, of the four individuals named, two are not football players, and if "the fifth suspect was unidentified at press time," how could Ms. Nicholas possibly know that he is a football player. Does one just assume that any male student who is young, black and well developed is a football player. I would certainly hope not. I work closely with the WCU football players and I am sincere when I say that as a group they are a credit to this university. Don't cast aspersions on them by inaccurate reporting.
