  • Western Carolinian September 8, 1994 Editorial Evolution- Both sides Dear Editor, This poem is for those who believe they must reject their faith if they cannot accept the Biblical account of Creation—as an explanation of HOW it happened. The Bible, neither a science book nor a book of history, is an account of man's growing revelation of God through the Judeo-Chris- tian faith. It tells us WHO created the Earth; while Science uncovers a tiny bit of truth as to HOW God did it. God IS Truth, and all truth is of God. Instead of inspiring disbelief, scientific discoveries can better serve to enhance our awe of God's almighty power. EVOLUTION—Both Sides of the Truth God is no magician; He waves no magic sticks. God IS Truth; by Truth He reigns, God's laws are Truth—not tricks. God still creates the mountains (As He did with St. Helens one day) By folds, faults, and erruptions— Then erodes them all away. God recycles the elements, The invisible and those we can see, Into all living and non-living things. From "dust to dust" are we. Mutant genes are genes turned defective, And most things with mutant genes die; But a mutant gene that resists DDT Has evolved an entirely new fly. We know how each one of us Evolved from a fertilized cell, Developed in stages, re- enacting the ages, As did sea-life and advanced forms as well. Both man and the monkey have changed- Each from his own simpler form. Today men are taller. Some say he is balder. The future may yet change the norm. Yes, God made man in His image, But God's image is SPIRIT, you know. God made man from dust by laws he can trust And breathed in His Spirit to grow. God breathed in man Love, Truth, and Light And sent Christ to show him His Way; So that, seeking Truth which reveals God's Will, Man spiritually evolves day by day. —Sue Benson Studen Ticked ofl at the Stairs Dear Editor, My roommate and I are veterans of student life here at Western. Therefore we have seen all the changes .made here on campus over the past five years. One of the major changes has been the one concerning the food services. When we first got here, the food left something to be desired, but now that we have Marriot in our corner it has improved significantly. There has also been the addition of the ever popular food court, and of course the "old faithful" PG Katz. (Which we might add, is improving day by day). My roommate and I are not writing to complain about the food per say, but the service we and many others have received (or have not received) at Western Carolina University's Top of the Stairs Restaurant. This is the only place on campus where students using meal cards can go, sit down, and be waited on. Our nostrils are not flared because of the quality of the food. The menu looked as though it had changed for the better, however we did not get that far. Last week on our first adventure to Top of the Stairs this semester, we were fortunate enough to be seated immediately. There were several vacant tables (which filled very quickly). We proceeded to wait twenty Blake Frizzell Editor-in-Chief Last week a good friend of mine came to me and told me that someone had stolen her French horn. French horn? (Now, let us pause and think about this. If you or I or anyone were going to steal something, would it be a French horn?) Friday morning, approximately 4 am, a friend of mine, who lives above Bob's, was sitting up talking with a friend of hers. They heard noises in the nearby parking lot and peeked out to see who else could be awake at this time. They then watched two guys break into a vehicle. Freaked out, they called Fublic Safety, and of course, they came to the rescue. They had to identify the guys, and they were all arrested. Perturbed, I called around to see who these guys were, and it seems they were from Asheville, just visiting some jerk in Leatherwood. minutes for a mere drink order to be taken. At that time seeing two tables after us had achieved this goal, I went to the hostess and asked politely if we could please get some service. Ten minutes later, we were finally fed up (and dying of thirst), so we decided to stand up for our "Catamount Rights" and leave the restaurant. Seven people besides ourselves (who also looked as though they were very thirsty) held the door open for us on their way out. People waiting to be seated were warned of the drought at Top of the Stairs that day. The outcome, we don't know. We're not sure if this establishment has a lack of staff or is just incompetent. We realize that food is one of the universal gripes of college students everywhere (along with health services and parking). We hope that by speaking out, something can be done because this is not the first time it has happened We aren't trying to downgrade our Crime Sucks Why do I call him a jerk? Because these guys came to see him, he knew what they had been doing, and did nothing. Get it? Anyway, we will probably never see these guys again, because they were not WCU students, but were banned from campus, and now have a criminal record. I was pretty satisfied. Justice had been done. However in the mean time, the same source told me that on Monday night, unnamed WCU students had also been arrested for breaking and entering. I dug around, found out the names, and to beat it all, one is a CRIMINAL JUSTICE major. Ha Ha Ha. Irony at its best. Maybe he wasn't in class that day. Also Thursday night some low life was cited for urinating on the WCU cheerleaders. That's why people should carry knives. Look buddy, people are investigating, and won't you just love it when your mother gets a copy of the paper (and we will send her one), and sees what her little (and I stress little) man is doing at college. Mrs. Bobbit had the right idea. My point is: I have always felt safe in Cullowhee. I don't anymore. Not because there's this big huge crime wave all of a sudden, but because I realize that this kind of thing happens everyday, it just takes time to find out about it. We at the WC are now hungrily seeking the names of all you scum bags who think the world is yours to do with what you will. I know many crimes here are unknown, and even go unreported. If you can't talk to Public Safety, come to me. I will do everything in my power to make sure the whole campus sees who these degenerates in the institute of supposed higher learning are. Some one returned my friends' horn, slightly damaged, but returned. The moral of my story is: Be a good citizen and keep your eyes open for crime, and not your zipper, you slime. food services because we are very happy with the other changes, however, we feel that this should be one more change in our "food service revolution." —Ticked off at Top of the Stairs Names withheld at Editor's discretion. Power 91: "This Really Sucks!" Dear Editor, This really sucks! Power 91 has gone purely rock and I'm hating life. I just called the station and the Dj dude said that the managers polled the students this summer and 97% wanted the station this way. Uh...from my understanding, not many of the students (in relation to majority wise) were here this summer! And beisdes, this campus is located in an area where practically no other stations are received (except country -which sucks most ot the time too.) Ok, true this campus is primarily "white, but there is an ever increasing number of other ethnic backgrounds attending this school and we must consider everyone. Last semester was cool: there was Club'91, Christian music on Sundays, Rock- Midnite Snack, Top 40 Req"ee hour-it was alot more versaw in the style of music played including Alternative bandS. What happened?!? Isn't *er way that we could be po\le ^ again, or something? I ^ean' love Western, but the radio station is an absolute dive a this point. Is there any**1* student body can do to chans this crap? RS. Dag! It's bad enough that cable doesn't pick up (or FOX)
