Western Carolinian February 2, 1995 Editorial reading level by hellfli i am erl. this is my column. i would like to apologize for an error that occurred last week, there were several mistakes in our printing of mr. wakeley's letter that were not in the one he sent us (such as the combination of r's & n's into m's). our scanner sometimes does this, and since we decided to leave mr. soesby's letter unchanged, our mistakes in mr. wakeley's letter wereimisconstrued. oops. anyway, i guess that will teach me to criticize an;aspect of our administration. now, onto this week's topic- something stinks in administration: you can smell it in the air. it is refund check time, hundreds (i guess) of students get in line to present their i.d.'s and get their checks, pretty simple, nothing could go wrong, right? well, for me, it almost always goes wrong, big surprise. last fall, i was told that i did not exist in the computer, last spring, i was told that i still owed the university $700. pretty odd considering i should have gotten back $300. this fall everything went right (yay! i was happy), now let me explain what happened this semester. my girlfriend (yes, she has a name & identity, but i choose not to reveal it to save her from the malicious fan stalking that i get) told me it was refund day. i told her i could smell it in the air. we went to the big white house, there was no line, i was convinced i could make my 2:00 appointment. i went to the little booth where the nice lady works, the same lady who has been there to look at my i.d. every semester. usually she tells gives me bad news, that is ok. she is still nice. so she says i do not have a check, i am not shocked, it usually comes in late, so i tell her this, & she gets a concerned look on her face & sends me to the desk, i go. i tell this other lady the same thing, she tells me my check is in the mail. what? i say. my check has never been mailed before, why now? what follows is such a vast communication gap that i cannot relate through the written word, just think of the chaos theory, but eventually she wanders out of my range of vision to find things out & i stood at the desk for ten minutes, another woman comes up to me & asks me if she can help me & i say someone else already is & she looks at me funny so i sit down. eventually (which is a coined word for "eternity") the first woman comes back & tells me yes, indeed, the new woman (enter new woman) accidentally mailed my check, so i ask "how did this happen?" first woman & new woman just look at me. i say it again louder just in case they are hearing impaired. the first woman tells the new woman: "it's ok, i'll handle it," like i am some kind of disgruntled employee, new woman runs away and first woman proceeds to answer me in unrelated fragments. i want to explain to them that i am not a psycho, i am not a freak, i just want to know why my check is never (except for this fall when i was happy) processed right, but i cannot, it feels so hopeless. so i leave, are you as confused as i am? yes, i know i have been rather vague, but so was the situation. my point is, they made a mistake (which i was expecting & willing to accept) & then acted indignant that i wanted an explanation, a lot of branches of administration treat me like this, i walk in, just trying to get information or something done, and they treat me like an inferior, or like a fool, or like i work for them. maybe they are just stressed out. maybe they should have social skills workshops, i would rather part of my tuition go towards that than intramural sports, who is working for who?
