'Deadlines for all sections are the Thursday preceding publication. 'Office personnel may be reached at 227-7267 . Editorial Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder? We'll Soon Find Out... Blake Frizzell Editor-in-Chief The Western Carolinian will not be published for a month, so I thought it might be nice to give readers a medley of sorts. These are some things I have been thinking about lately. . . • What's up with the commuter snow policy? If Jackson County schools are closed, this must mean that travel isn't safe. So why do commuter students at WCU have to risk their lives to make it to class when the roads are dangerous? While listening to my favorite morning show hosted by the famous Paul Tranquil.) on Friday, I heard people calling in giving conditions from various areas, all reporting icy roads and unsafe conditions. However, announcers are told to tell commuting students to "use their own discretion." Many commuters live in Haywood County, Franklin, Whittier, etc. They shouldn't have to miss out on a lecture because 'they couldn't make it out of their driveways. Not to mention people who live in Cullowhee, don't have four-wheel drive, and don't want to risk the ice and snow. If Jackson County schools are closed, then WCU classes should be cancelled. • Congratulations to the advertising department at Ace Hardware stores. While watching a new commercial, I noticed the slogan has changed. Instead of "Ace is the place for the helpful hardware man," it now states, "Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks." Whoever said we lived in a sexist society? • I've always thought that society's standards for women begin in all the wrong ways. In short, women are generally taught to be beautiful, and to wear pink. Apparently McDonald's feels the same way. While going through the drive-through, I ordered a Happy Meal™. The man at the window asked me if the meal was for a boy or a girl. I asked why he asked. He said there was a difference in the toys. I asked him to show me the different toys. He did. The "girl" toy was a pink flower ring complete with a doll in a plastic dome on top. The "boy" toys were either a dump truck that opened up to display a inouth of crazy teeth, or a cool airplane. When you pulled the airplane's tail flap, it opened to display bulging eyes and jagged teeth. To put it lightly, the "boy" toys were cool and functional. The "girl" toy was cute. "That's a little sexist, don't you think?" was my response. "Try giving a boy a ring," said the man. Needless to say, I now own both the airplane and the ring. I have the ring only because one of my friends got it in her Happy Meal™, and hated it. Another friend of mine has the truck. She's a "girl," and she likes it. • When I moved into Laurel Oaks Apartments this summer we had recycling bins. It was great, and it made it much easier to recycle. In a state that doesn't have mandatory recycling, you have to be dedicated to the cause. Since that time, the bins have been taken away and replaced by a regular garbage dumpster. It seems to me that the largest apartment complex inhabited by college students would be the very best place to have one. • Have a good break from the WC. From the looks of some of the letters we've been receiving, some of you need it. Some staff members are taking a break to go to San Diego for a national newspaper conference. Maybe we will learn what some of you hope we will. But then again, I doubt they will teach a more conservative viewpoint in California. Sorry. And to the "silent majority" that I met during a LO party, keep up the positive vibes for the WC. "Scoop" Francis Visits Editorial Section, Entering the Realm of the "Disturbed" I am disturbed. Lately people have seen fit to write some letters criticizing the WC. That doesn't bother me... it's what they have to say that bothers me. Now let me try to get everything straight. You're tired of reading about Power 91? Well, so am I... but we keep getting all kinds of people writing letters: employees of'Power 91, spouses of employees of Power 91, avid listeners of Power 91, people who don't listen to Power 91, etc. So riddle me this, Batman: if everyone's so tired of hearing about it, then why doesn't everyone drop it? The reason it's in the paper all the time is because this seems to be what the public cares about so the WC feels obliged to clutter our editorial section with YOUR interests. The whole thing kind of reminds me of the O.J. Simpson trials ... I'm tired of that "shit," but it's in the country's major papers every day because the public shows an interest in it. On to the next point. Someone criticized the WC by saying we don't print "real" news. All I ask is that people remember that this is a college newspaper. You see, this is part of our education ... we are learning to produce a newspaper. Sure we make mistakes along the way. Do you make an "A" on every test in every class? enough other newspapers to cover the "real news." Perhaps some readers prefer a front page story like last week's about a former student's body being found, but as for myself I am comforted by the fact that we rarely have the opportunity to report such stories. Call me crazy. As for the other stuff, I think we do a pretty good job. Campus events get the attention they deserve, don't they? I haven't heard any complaints ... all I hear is the whining I have already addressed. All I ask is that people remember that this is a college newspaper. You see, this is part of our education ... we are learning to produce a newspaper. Sure we make mistakes along the way. Do you make an A on every test in every class? Scott "Scoop" Francis They said we should find "something better to write about." They criticized my article about the impounding of Butterfly. They said "Who cares?" My answer to this is that I myself am satisfied with this type of news. This type of news is referred to as a human interest story. It is usually about something near to us and most often involves something besides the carnage on the regular news. In my opinion campus occurrances should be the main content of this paper; there are The opinions expressed on the Editorial pages are not the opinions of the Western Carolinian, the Carolinian staff, or Western Carolina University.
