March 30, 1995 Western Carolinian 3 News The Contract With America: A Gimmick? A News Commentary by Kyle Shutelt On November 8,1994, Republicans took control of the House of Representatives for the first time in over 40 years; they rode in on their shining white horse—The Contract With America. With the landslide win, House Republicans feel they have a mandate from the American people to pass the provisions they have spelled out in the Contract. They feel the historical victory wasn't about throwing out incumbents, but about throwing out Democrats; and they base this statement on the fact that not a single incumbent Republican congressman, senator, or governor was defeated. The Contract, according to the authors and those who signed it, is about "restoring the bonds of trust between the people and their elected officials... a detailed agenda for national renewal, and a written commitment with no fine print." It is made up of ten provisions that Republicans claim are based on the principles of individual liberty, economic opportunity, limited government, personal responsibility, and security at home and abroad. House Republicans have promised to bring each of the ten provisions in the Contract to a vote within the first 100 days of the 104th Congress. However ambitious this sounds, the Republicans feel this is the first substantive step to a smaller government with lower taxes and fewer regulations. Although House Republicans are promising to bring each of the ten provisions in the Contract to a vote, they are not promising passage. So was this just a gimmick to get elected and regain the majority in the House? According to the Republicans: np. They feel confident that most of the items in the Contract will pass in both the House and Senate and vow to work each item aggressively to see that this happens. They consider this to be a "two-way contract," and are asking the American people to take up this fight to get the Contract passed. While the Republicans claim to understand there are other issues of great importance to the American people, they believe the Contract will build a foundation of trust between government and its citizens once again. According to House Republicans they started with the provisions in the Contract because they believe it reflects the desires of a large number of Americans. Republicans state that the Contract is merely outlining the first 100 days, and that they will continue to reform government to make it smaller and more efficient. Tlte opinions expressed by Kyle in this column are not the opinions of the WC or WCU. Just A Reminder! Fall Semester advising will be held in all Departmental Offices until April 13. Registration will take place from 8:30- 4pm, April 3-13. Don't forget to sign up!

The incident was referred to the Secret Service and Postal Inspectors. •A resident of Faculty Apartments reported a person peeping into her apartment at 12am. •3/16 A student in Scott admitted that she activated a false alarm on the 9th floor on 3/15. Because of her cooperative and honest attitude, the decision was made to refer the incident to Housing for disciplinary action rather than to arrest, which is the normal action on false alarms. •3/17 A caller reported that a window was broken from his car while it was parked in the Field House lot; however, he called back later and said to disregard the report. •3/18 Officers assisted deputies who were helping a mother who had locked a three-year-old in a car by accident at 11:55pm. •3/21 Officers counseled and released several males who were throwing water balloons in front of Dodson at 5:30pm. •3/23 Residents of Helder reported a male knocking on doors on the 3rd floor.

WCU is now undergoing its reaccreditation review by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). WCU is currently in the first year of the review, a two year process, and is performing an institution-wide self- study, examining all aspects of university operations and activities. The result will be a large report, which will be completed this summer. Students can assist in WCU's reaccredit-ation in the following way. During the week of April 31, many undergraduate and gradute students will receive in their classes a self-study survey form, allowing students to assist in WCU's reaccreditation. Next fall a draft of the entire self- study report will be distributed campus- wide for review by WCU students, faculty, and staff. Open forums will be held, where members of the university community, including students, can provide input. The report will then be finalized, printed, and mailed to SACS. After reviewing the self-study report and interviewing many people on campus, SACS will make recommendations for the improvement of university operations, and that Western be reac- credited for another ten years.
