  • Western Carolinian September 22, 1994 Editorial oking Section: "For everything that gives you pleasure, someone's waiting to make money off your guilt. These kind of people think that if you quit cigarettes then you 're going to live forever ... " - Williams Social Commentary By Williams a.k.a. The Fine Print Nil u _ 'H»l'*» iBr i A Moment of Much-Needed Humility In regards to September 8th's article ("Do You Have The Time To Listen To Me Whine ?"): There's a line that was published that I wish, in retrospect, that I hadn't included, and let it be known that it's not the Editor's fault, it's mine. The line is "I'm no better than Clinton or Birdsong, with the exception being that 1 know that I'm a jerk, I don't need anyone to remind me." The day after I turned the sucker in, I re-read it and thought to myself "Wow, I really sound like one hypocritical * asshole." We all need people to remind us that we're jerks from time to time because we can't always keep ourselves in check, and, for that, I want to thank my friends. Without them, I'm shit. And speaking of shit, on to this week's thrilling topic The Last D; nee of The Sedated Smokers I like cigarettes and 1 like to smoke. In this age of Health- Consciousness, I realize that such an admission must sound like blasphemy, but it's true. Even when I was a kid I would take cigarettes out of the ashtray and smell them. When I finally got old enough to smoke (and after wearing my parents down with their "No Smoking" gibberish), I did. And I've been hooked ever since. That's been over ten years ago. When I decided to name my column "The Smoking Section" I did so with the intention of naming it after my favorite section of a restaurant and the atmosphere that goes along with it. Unlike some people, I like smoky rooms, the way the smoke bounces off the lights and forms little halos, and the way tobacco smells. I also christened it as such because I realize that health Nazi's are chastising people who choose to smoke. For every thing that gives you pleasure, someone's waiting to make money off of your guilt. These kind of people think that if you quit cigarettes then you're going to live forever, never mind the possibility (or black-humored irony) of dying of a heart-attack while jogging- As of right now, these are very hard times for cigarette smokers. Non-smokers are speaking out on behalf of their rights to smoke-free environments, claiming that they're susceptible to the same diseases inherent to smokers. This has caused the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) to consider a proposed ban on cigarettes. All of this spells bad news to smokers, cigarette companies and tobacco farmers. The fact that North Carolina is one ot the country's top tobacco producers makes this news hit even closer to home. Will the FDA provide jobs, money, and other welfare to these people who will no longer be employed? That's about as doubtful as the FDA sending out Nicotine patches to recovering cigarette addicts. The only logical solution to this problem, as opposed to the FDA's ignorant and ill- conceived tobacco ban, is to give smokers and non-smokers equal space. If a business caters to non-smokers, then it should also cater to smokers too. This gives smokers the freedom to get their fix and non-smokers their rights to enjoy a smoke-free atmosphere. This also keeps tobacco farmers and companies in business. A huge step in the form of public relations for the tobacco companies would be to offer life insurance policies for the people who use their products. This isn't as crazy (or as cynical) as it might appear. Both Camel and Marlboro brands sell merchandise to smokers who save their coupons. The more coupons you have, the more products you can buy. Now trade a sleeping bag for a thousand hours of oxygen at the hospital of Parking - Space Nomads Are Angry! When most of you were asked, "Why did you choose Western Carolina University?" it's safe to say you didn't respond with, "Because of its wonderful parking opportunities!" Parking!! It is a plague that is legendary at this campus. I'm surprised that the sign at the front entrance doesn't read, "Bad parking since 1889." I can truly appreciate the parking deficiencies of WCU, for you see, I am a member of that persecuted group who suffers from inequality in the parking realm; Yes, I am a freshman. A freshman who dreams of a good parking space like some dream of making a million dollars. In August, as I was traveling toward Cullowhee on 1-40 from eastern North Carolina, I saw a sign that read, "Western Carolina University - 25miles." Excited that I was getting close, I pulled off at a gas station to get exact directions to the campus. The gentleman I questioned asked me what year I was and when I boldly replied, "A Freshman!" he told me, "just to go ahead and park here and start walking." I knew I had problems then. We can live on campus; we just can't park anywhere near it! The other day, when I finally found a parking space, I got out of my car to realize I was parked next to a sign that said "The State of Georgia Welcomes You." Of course, I really can't complain, I guess, because no one really has parking privileges here. Nope! Freshmen, Seniors, Staff, No One! You see, if you had read the "Summary of Parking and Traffic Rules and Regulations" published by the Department of Public Safety (Oh! You mean that book they gave me when I got my sticker. The one that's in the floor board of my car with gum all over it! Yeah, that one!) it clearly states that the parking sticker does not guarantee anyone a particular parking space, but rather, "it authorizes the permit holder to seek a parking space in a proper area .." So you see we are but "Parking- Space Nomads" roaming the campus seeking for the one, almighty parking space. However, I did discover one slight error in the Rules and Regulations manual. It states, in bold print, "parking regulations are enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." I don't know about that now. I bet if I were to wait until about 6 a.m., when the first batch of doughnuts is ready over at "Munchies," I could probably park my car underneath the Alumni Tower, and you couldn't find a campus police officer anywhere to write me a ticket. Chris Long Concerned Students Voice Opinions Dear Ms. Blake Frizzell: What gives you the right? What gives you the right to use our school newspaper to integerate your views for your own personal all campus popularity contest. What favors have you been your choice. Instead of offering a Jeep, how about 10 years of continuous health care and / or payment of hospital bills ? This would cause smokers to look at their habits more realistically (as opposed to the glamour of Joe Camel or the rugged-ness of the Marlboro Man) and also act as a form of ethical cleansing in the eyes of the FDA and non-smokers. The cigarette companies could easily cut a deal with the AM A (American Medical Association) in regards to which hospitals and life insurance agencies serve the cigarette companies and other forms of litigation. Once these various factors were worked out, the next logical step would be the presentation of this novel concept to the public. Chances are people would agree to it. It would mean that the Government wouldn't be interfering in the lives of private citizens and that all things are negotiable. It certainly beats the prohibition propaganda being issued out by the FDA and it gives both sides what they really want: equality and consideration. Photo By fustin Menickelli performing to receive your picture on half of our Western Carolinian paper! Ms. Frizzell do you really believe the choice of some of your words in your "Penis Envy" articie were a tactful display of free speech. We think it is time that you get off your "power trip", and stop lecturing adults with your own subjecitve views. Don't float your boat until you examine your questionable beliefs. Concerned Students, Michael Burst Shawn Embrey Editor's Note: If you haven't noticed by now, I am the Editor- in-Chief. Maybe you haven % because you spelled my name wrong. This job entitles, and requires me to voice my opinions. A job, by the way, I have worked 3 years to obtain. Maybe you haven't even read the paper, for if you had, you would notice that my editorials and picture take up a very small portion of the paper. And as far as the favors I have performed to have this honor? Please, spare us all by taking your minds out of the gutter.
