  • Page 6 Opinion December 9,1993 Western Carolinian Click, McGee harassed by police for scuffling Dear Editor: On December 4 at 1:30 am in the back parking lot of Harrill dorm, two freshman boys, Michael Click and Chandler McGee, were wrestling. The boys, who were also friends, were "pretend fighting." The boys were not drinking nor had they been drinking all evening— pretty surprising on a college campus at that hour on a weekend. Not surprisingly, the campus police rounded the corner in hot pursuitof the two "criminals." The police shouted at the boys, then told them to put their hands on the top of a Jeep hood. The boys explained that they were just friends playing around, as they were being frisked. Unlike most people, the boys offered to take a breathalyzer test, but the campus police refused to give them one. The police began wriringdown social security numbers and asking questions— the usual procedure. Now, none of this surprises me. The police obviously had no idea that these boys had not been drinking nor did they have a clue that theboys were friends justplay- ing around. The police, up to this point, were doing their jobs. The officers then asked the boys where they were from. Michael Click, one of the boys, said he was from Charlotte. "That figures," oneofficer said. He went on to say he could not wait to see Michael's "smart-ass" smile in front of a court judge. Chandler McGee, the other guy, told the officers he was from Newton, North Carolina. Newton, in case no one knows, is a very small, I guess you could say, "red-neck" town. As soon as one of the officers heard Chandler was from Newton, he warmed up immediately. Itseems tha t he was also from Newton and continued to talk to Chandler for approximately 20 minutes about this fact. After the chit-chat ceased, Michael and Chandler asked the police what was going to happen to them. This is the kicker. The officers told these two boys they were going to send out a warrant for their arrest, and they would probably have to go to court. Also, theoff icers told theboys they might not get to come back to school after Christmas break. These guys are upstanding citizens of this college campus. They get good grades, go to class regularly, and, most importantly, they were not fighting, not drink- ing and not trying to cause trouble. The fact that one of the guys is from Charlotte should not cause the police to pass judgement. Not everyone from cities bigger than Cullowhee is bad. In fact,Iamsure thattherearesomebad small town people. My point is Cullowhee 5.0 must have had a small night for trouble, or they would not have made such a big deal over this incident. 1 understand they thought there was a fight, and it was their job to check it out, but it was not their job to harass Michael and Chandler. I definitely do not think this deserves a warrantora day in court. Do campus police need something to keep them busy? If so, why don't they give freshman gi rls rides back from the freshman lots la teat night or actually do something about the many fights that have happened this semester at many a fraternity party? Must we create turmoil? I think not. Students that live in thedorms have to deal with the fact that the lawns and parking lots of the dormitories are their front lawns, and I have never been arrested for wres- tling in my front yard. Aslongas people are having good, clean fun on college campuses, why notletit be? It doesn't happen that often Christmas wish list for all of WCU to enjoy Dear Editor, ThisChristmas I wish for peaceon earth and a few other things all of us at WCU can enjoy. For Wachovia, 1 wish for a new slimmer pole for their sign. Presently I have to say a prayer and mash the gas because the sign pole blocks my view of the right side of the intersection. For everyone who complains about the parking situation at Western, I'd like to send them to App., UNC, UNC- G or any other state funded campus where parking permits are over $100 and spaces are harder to find than a sober person at a Republican fund-raiser. For everyone who starts packing their bags before the professor stops talking, I wish for them a bottle of tranquilizers and a handbook on manners. For the food services workers, please bring them a raise. They have made more positive changes in the past 1 1/2 years than were made in the previous 30 years. For traffic and security, please bring them a Pulitzer Prize. Their weekly roundup of drunks, thugs and losers made for great reading in the Western Carolinian. For our basketball team, I wish for a packed Ramsey Center. For future WCU students, I wish for a new bowling alley. The administration should use some of the bond money to replace the old bowling alley. The bowling alley on the Flintstones is more modem that Reid Gym's three lanes. For the dedicated staff at the Western Carolinian, I hope more students will speak out next semester. Let's not have another semester where theonly issue to raise any attention is "The Great Sidewalk Chalk Drawing Scandal of 1993, For people who wear patchouli oil instead of takinga bath, I wish for them a bar of soap. For first semester freshmen, may you return for a second semester (and how about studying this time). For any student who drinks, I hope your GPA remains higher that your BAC (blood alcohol content). For students who drank more that they studied, make a New Year's resolution to see what a Saturday or Sunday morning looks like (you would even try patronizing your favorite church)^ Finally, I hope my sister here at WCU can get W summer job as a security guard back for the holiday so that| I'll get a present from her. Seriously, I hope everyone has a safe, Merry Chris ■ mas, a Happy New Year, and God Bless you all. Sean Oliver Nicholas misses mark in beauty editorial Dear Editor, I am writing in reference to Hayley Nicholas' article on beauty. Hayley, you make women trying to be beautiful sound like shallow, mindless bimbos. Beauty not only comes from the mind but also from, the way a person presents herself. 1 feel the best about myself when 1 know that I look my best. I look my best when I am d ressed neatly, with my hair looking healthy and, in some cases, wearing makeup. I do not consider myself a slave to fashion, although my image may be affected by it. I know that I am not Cindy Crawford, but I do try to look the best I can. When I know I lookgood, I feel better about myself, which, in turn, makes me seem even more attractive towards others. I do not feel good about myself when my hair is messy and my clothes are disheveled. In the same sense, I must voice an opinion - what is with this "grunge look" that has been annoying me since summer? How can anyone find dirty, torn, ill-fitting clothes attractive? I do not think that greasy, stringy hair and matted dreadlocksareappealing to lookat. When I seesuch persons I have the mad impulse to grab the nearest pair of scissors and bottle of shampoo, hog-tie them down and go to work making them look like college students instead of vagrants. How can anyone possibly feel good about himself when looking his absolute worst?!! I'm not saying that you have to spend a fortune on designer clothes and a $50 haircut. Neatness and cleanliness aren't fashion. They're simply a way of saying that you care about how you look Whatever happened to pride in appearance? We are what we makeof ourselves. I choose to makemyself look the best and most beautiful I can. I believe that a person has a right to express himself in whatever way he desires, but U° think that is the point of the "grunge look." PerS participating in tl .e "grunge look" are doing something they probably hate the most — being slaves to fe*10^ wouldn't sacrifice my appearance just to fit in with o ^ "grungies." I like to think that I have more self-respec self-pride than that.
