  • 14 Western Carolinian October 20, 1994 Editorial ffQQdonn of peech Keeps WC Hollin1 To the Editor of the WC: As an avid proponent of Freedom of Speech, I would like to send a special shout-out to the Christians and other students at WCU who come down on you so hard. To the two Christian girls offended by "foul language" and articles on "homosexuals and male bodyparts," I have no problem respecting your opinion and the fairness in which it was presented. I agree that Christians on this campus should have a voice if they choose. All they have to do is write, but I ask you to make it a voice of >. fairness, not the condemnation of everything non-Christian. ^ Christian ethnocentricity has caused enough problems as it is. It is only a matter of reading history or asking a Native or African American how Christians treated their ancestors or anyone they colonized who believed differently. It is up to you modern Christians to try to atone for that by not making tne same mistakes. The offending articles were only written as an expression of the Editor's opinion. We all have opinions: Jews, Satanists, Pagans, and Christians, and none are more "right" or "better" than another. They are just opinions. They are American's using their fast disappearing right to freedom of speech. As for foul language, as far as I know, there are no Biblical references to the use of foul language except to say not to take the Lord's name in vain which I have yet to see the WC do. Words don't hurt, only their context makes them vulgar, and the questionable words in the WC are not used in an insulting context. I know this is a long spill here, but I want to say keep rollin' WC, you're doing a good job in the protection of freedom of speech and I hope you are allowed by the intolerants to continue to do so. Sincerely, Frank Huguelet reading level by erl this is an introduction, this is a column, what is a column? it is like an editorial, this is opinion, this is an introduction to my opinion column. why do I get a column? because I asked nicely, because I work at the Carolinian . i think columns are good, we should have many different ones in this section, this is the editorial section . they should differ in opinions. & not be too long, so we can fit more in. what kind of columns? i think a christian column would be nice, since people seem upset about their religion, they probably have several things to write about, these things are called issues, issues are good for columns. it would be bad if there was a religious column that had no new issues, if it was "oh i am being oppressed" or "society does not understand me" all the time it would be bad. if you can write & you are christian & you have many issues, you should have a column. but sometimes people forget that Christianity is not the only religion... or even the only Christianity, we would have to have a section for each type of christian, then there are jews & taoists & atheists & satanists & wiccans & crystal people & elephant statue people. i am not very good at naming all the religions, but someone would need to cover them. & spell them right, maybe a philosophy major, but then the physics majors would get mad about not being represented, that's a fight i really don't want to get involved with. i think a non-conformist column would be nice, since these people seem upset in general, they probably have several issues to write about, remember: those are good things for columns. it would be bad if there was a non-conformist column that had nothing new to say. if it was "oh i am being oppressed" or "society does not understand me" all the time it would be bad. but i am not sure what a non-conformist is. if you say you are not conforming, are you not doing the same thing as "reading level/' Continued on Page 15 What Better Is FALL BREAK For Than HOMEWORK? Blake Frizzell Editor-in-Chief I just returned from Fall break in Charleston, S.C. I had not written an editorial before I left, hoping the inspiration would hit me while at the beach. Actually, the idea hit me the week before I left, and continued to bother me throughout the week. Here goes... While packing and trying to get the paper together before I left, I realized that there were several people I could've asked to go with the group of people and I to the beach. However, most of the people had already made plans, or had lots of homework. Did you catch that last word? HOMEWORK. Now, I might be wrong, but isn't FALL BREAK the time so preciously given to the students by the university to get away from HOMEWORK? I had homework over fall break, a novel to have read by the time I returned. The novel was great, and I finished it while drinking delicious Absolute and getting a tan with about 15 friends who either had already graduated or didn't have homework. This is when the reading started to bother me. After all, hadn't I left several juicy novels at my apartment in Cullowhee because I had to read this one for HOMEWORK? Shouldn't I be able to read for pleasure instead of the pressure of school? Then I thought about all those students who had to go home, or worse stay in Cullowhee and do HOMEWORK over FALL BREAK. I made a toast to you and had a moment of silence for all the poor souls who were robbed of your FALL BREAK with the tedious pressures of, well, you know ... President of Sigma Phi Epsilon Responds Dear Ms. Blake Frizzell: The recent issues of the Western Carolinian have had some interesting articles about the Greek system in general, and some organizations have been singled out. The generalizations have lacked validity. To stereotype the entire Greek system by the actions of a few is as wrong and inaccurate as any stereotype. As the President of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity, I feel that it is my duty to respond and clear up the rumors that have resulted in the incorrect statements that have been made concerning my organization. The first article that I wish to address is Mrs. Ruth C Shuler's. The Brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon North Carolina Pi chapter wish to apologize to Mrs. Shuler and any other members of the community who were affected or offended by the actions of the participants at our Mud Volleyball tournament. We hope that you understand that the chapter did all we could to prevent this from occurring and are dedicated to eliminating this type of behavior, at the event, in the future. The other articles that addressed our event were laced with inaccuracies. The first inaccuracy was that the tournament was in violation of risk management policies. It was not. Both the administration and our national headquarters were pleased with the effort made by the chapter to control the event. The event was alcohol free. The drinking that occurred did not happen on our site, it happened on public property. Therefore the event was in compliance with all risk management policies and was not "poor risk management." However, the chapter recognizes that the drinking would not have occurred without the event and is working to make the uncertain future of the event alcohol free. Second of all, the event was characterized as a bunch of "drunk, muddy Greeks." This is also inaccurate because the independent participants far out numbered the Greek participants. The comment made about the girl breaking her neck was also distorted. The young lady in question did suffer an injury to her neck, . however she was treated and released from the hospital that same afternoon and suffers no ill effects as a result of the incident. Although all of the publicity surrounding Mud Volleyball has focused on the negative aspects, I would like to take a moment to point out the positive aspects of the event. The tournament raised $1,000 and the money was donated to the A.W.A.K.E foundation for the abused children of Jackson County. In addition to the funds generated by the event, it also provides a social activity for the students of WCU. This campus, which has been labeled a "suitcase college" could use more fun events of this nature. For those of you who think that Greek organizations are just a collection of alcoholics, I encourage you to enter rush and find out more for yourselves. Thank You, Todd G. Blosser President, Sigma Phi Epsilon
