  • March 21,1996 Western Carolinian 15 Editorials Student Says Kill Football Team, Thinks Blue Lights Badly Placed Dear Editor: I would like to begin by congratulating you on putting together one of the best volumes of the Western Carolinian I have seen in my five years at Western. I feel, however, that I must comment on a few things before I graduate. I have only four points that I would like to make. The first is this: Why should student athletic fees be raised? Given the inability of our football coach to win and the 0-11 or is it 12 record against Appalachian, why not get rid of the football team. I know this is impossible, football funds all other sports, but surely not having all those scholarships and coaching positions to fund and road trips to finance would save enough money to make the current student contribution adequate for all other sports that don't have as many scholarship athletes. An additional plus would be the savings in equipment, a football helmet probably costs as much as two volleyballs. In case Dr.Carter has not noticed, less than half of the student body is ^ound campus on a weekend and probably ss tnan a quarter have ever seen a Western football game. (Yes, I have been to many games.) Maybe Dr. Bardo's new strategy of allowing student freedom will turn WCU into something more than a suitcase college and people will stay to see the team play. However, if current trends continue, do not force the student body to finance the Fat Cat's Club Saturday Entertainment. Remember, Academics before athletics. My second issue is with these so called safety boxes. What kind of safety is being provided in front of the Old-Student Union, up a set of stairs from the nearest sidewalk and way away from the sidewalk that many Buchanan residents would be using late at night. And how about the one in front of the library, do we really expect a student to be attacked at this location? Another good location is the one at the creek lot, wrong end Gene, try down by the picnic area. And how many commuters park in the Baptist church lot at night? Then there is the box at the Ramsey Center, I can see the headlines now "Female student almost raped while leaving basketball game with a hundred students around: Thank God She Got To The Safety Box." I think Gene McAbee needs to ask students where they feel most afraid on campus. I would think going around the walking track at night, even in groups. Or maybe, walking from the Freshman lot towards Scott/Helder/Walker or coming from the library in between Killian/Natural Science/Forsyth. The fact is unless a girl can outrun her attacker to get to the box the locations presently in use, are good for public safety, bad for the student body. I guess I can sum up the brains of public safety by pointing out where the first safety box was installed two or three years ago: In front of the Public Safety Office. My third issue is with Stray Cats, which I am glad to see has finally died. I recall when I was a freshman my next door neighbors were both members of the escort service and they never received a call to escort a student to their dorm. In fact, except for the nights that they had to work the phones at the office, they never did anything. Now why is that, because nobody would trust a guy who had nothing better to do at night than to escort people around campus. The fact is, women are not assaulted at WCU in front of Bob's or behind Scott, but rather in their rooms where only education can prevent improper advances. (In other words if she says no, go to sleep or go home and it will prevent you [guys] from going to jail.) And as for the five hundred names on a petition, how many were women. I think what this all boils down to is Bob Hodges wants to be a Stray Cat so he can meet women and possibly get a date. My last issue is what started me writing this letter: Who cares about Robert's Rules of Order? We don't have SGA-Span and debate brings about solutions. I am of course referring to the "Serotonindipity" in the February twenty-ninth issue. Sure in the United States the President does not debate with or answer questions face to face with the House or Senate. But, on the other hand, in Britain the Prime Minister does. Tell them about Robert's Rules of Order. I know we are not in Britain, but the point is must we always follow strict rules set by precedence instead of developing new ideas that could possibly cause change, I guess not that sounds like education and free thought. Signing Bigly, James T. Henson Tony Talks Back by Tony Taylor e . Dear Mr. Bigly, I must say that I soJOyed y°ur letter to the editor. You made p , good Points regarding education, «c Safety and the Stray Cat's escort 0r"1Ce' However, on the Robert's Rules of er lssue, I think you missed the point, that vRobert's Rules of Order is not a book Ru[ es aro"nd the SGA office. Robert's \l0*S]°fOrder is Pa« of the SGA constitu- c ' thlnlc most of us agree that the s itution must be followed. Precedent has gov CC'" a" parts of society especially %htsnment'If We eliminated the M1 of we a S t0 S°'Ve a Part'cular problem, would We bCtUally be solving a problem, or would e creating a new one? Preced 8£ °an °CCUr by followin8 some ^ It"'USt makes il a l'ttle harder for fin(] peoPle. That is those individuals who can alw mles difficu,t- of course. we these ays develop new procedures, but Procedures must be developed legally. This helps safeguard against potential abuses of authority. I'm sorry that you find the SGA coverage boring, but it is our government. Therefore, we feel that it is necessary to provide coverage for the rest of the student body that cares about it. You are right about debate bringing about positive change. However, if you have ever participated in a formal debate, you would realize why we have rules and procedures. Debating is a powerful skill, it can be used to evoke change, or it can be manipulated in order to maintain status quo. When you play by the rules, and still manage to achieve your goals, it can be a gratifying experience. Many times in our capitalist society we forget to follow the rules We believe that the outcome is more important than the means by which we achieved the outcome. This has contributed to the decline of morals within our society. Learning how to evoke change while keeping our morals in place is what I would call education and free thought. Lesbians Ignored During Women's History Month To Everyone, for this concerns us all: With Women's History Month upon us I have to ask, whose month is it really? There are many different colors and ethnic groups that make up America's Women, as well as more than one sexual orientation. All of America's women are not straight and if it were not for the Gay Liberation and the Civil Rights movements of the 1960s women would probably still not have the rights we have today. In the calendar of events for this month's celebration of women's history there is no mention of the lesbians' contribution to women's history. In the 1960s the lesbians were termed the "Lavender Menace" by Betty Friedan and the New York City chapter of the National Organization for Women, yet these "Lavender Menaces" did not give up their fight to give all women their deserved rights. The straight women only fought for straight women, they did not want to be associated with the lesbians at all. We have what we have today as women because these lesbians fought for women as a whole, not only fighting men for their rights, but the women too. Do we forget or intentionally overlook the contributions of lesbians in this country? What about the contributions in literature and poetry: do you remember Virginia Woolf, Willa Cather and Audre Lorde? What about Billie Holiday and Janis Ian, both accomplished musicians and how about in the movies and theatre, we all remember Marlene Dietrich and Mary Martin don't we, and how about two of the best tennis stars that ever have played, Martina Navratilova and Billie Jean King. Even Eleanor Roosevelt, a First Lady of the United States, had female lovers, but everyone thought they were mistresses of the President. We cannot deny lesbians their deserved place in history and we should not deny them their proper recognition for the work they did for women, as lesbians, in a time when lesbians were thought less of that they are now. Lesbians need to be included as important members of this society of women. If you do not include us verbally you exclude us silently. Crissy Stewart WCU Graduate Student Yfff/ff/////j '////f/f/////,
