In an effort to save natural resources, the Western Carolinia)t is printed on recycled paper Editorials M/E pianos should be for all to use The argument centers around the fact that access to quality pianos is restricted to music majors alone. There are several cubicles on the third floor with pianos that predominately remain untuned, depriving the other students who cannot use the pianos on the second floor, which are reserved for piano majors only. If these newer, consistently tuned pianos are so needed by piano majors, whyarethecubicles often empty? It seems to me that "T'WW^rTWWWWWVW^*'*1**'*** Dear Editor: As everyone knows, the 1960's saw the end of discrimination on a grand scale. Facilitiessuchasbath- rooms and public transports were available to everyone on a level of equality that is still upheld today. Butadifferent sort of'segregation' that exists in the Music/English Building seems to indicate a de- greeof prejudice fromcertainquar- ters of the Music Department to- .ward non-music majors in general. Sons, RSA thanked for hard work, energy in Floor Penny Wars Dear Mr. Coulter, Our agency would like to share with you the compliments and appreciation we have for the individuals who work in the Housing Department in the Student Development Division of Western Carolina University. Mountain Youth Resources, Inc. operates Hawthorne Heights, the only emergency shelter for adolescents in the seven most western countiesof North Carolina. Mountain Youth Resources isa private nonprofit organization committed to working with troubled youth and their families in western North Carolina. Lisa G. Sons, Assistant Director for Residence Life and Advisor of the Resident Student Association, initiated a program in the residence halls called "Floor Penny Wars." The program lasted approximately two weeks and raised $735.00 in cash and almost $350.00 in donated food products for the adolescents in the Hawthorne Heights program. This money was a surprise, and I want to recognize the effort that obviously went into tine project from the advisor down to the resident assistants and students on the floors. This is not the first time that the Resident Student Association under the guidance of Ms. Sons has given from their hearts and organized and carried out projects to benefit the youth at Hawthorne Heights. In the past three years they have had a food drive and collected $500.00 of non perishable food, contributed $100.00 to get the house painted and gave $150.00 of Christmas decorations as well as other meaningful projects. Lisa and the Resident Student Associationare very deservingof our heartfelt thanks for the hard work and energy that were required to make the "Floor Penny Wars" so successful. We are very appreciative of the fine young people at WCU who so willingly give of themselves to help those youth who are less fortunate. Sincerely, Elizabeth S. Chambers, Executive Director Mountain Youth Resources, Inc. Please recycle this newspaper! they take them for granted and use them less often titan expected. IspokewithDr.Pearsonabout tuning the pianos on the third floor, and she apologetically informed me that the department funds could not cover tuning them. I cannot unfairly blame individuals, but it appears that the prevalent attitude in the Music Department, especially among some of the students I have encountered, is that non-music majors are also non-musicians. I have played piano for ten years, and I am a journalism/editing major. But I'm still a musician. So is President Clinton, among other things. Regardless of any vocation, musicians are still musicians. All musicians need access to instruments that are tuned and consistent in quality, and I'm sure this is an irrefutable truth. Last semester, chorus rooms wereopen to other students when the classrooms were not in use, which have good pianos. These rooms are often empty as well. This semester, some bureaucrats, who seem convinced that non-music majors are responsible for whatever condition those rooms were left in, decided to make those rooms off-limits to them as well. I've got news for the wise guys, who even threatened 'offenders' with calling the Campus Security for playing 'their' pianos - it's j ust as easy for a piano orchorusstudenttoabuseordam- age a piano as it is for one of us 'infidels,' and there is a need for equal facilities for all paying students who have as much right to the love of music as the next man. So invest in a full or part-time piano tuner, or do something constructive to promote equality, or I guarantee that someone will show you what 'Civil Disobedience' really means. Sincerely, Jeff Leatherwood Western Carolinian Survey Please fill out the following information and return it to the Western Carolinian by February 20. Please check only one answer per question!
