  • i man On the Dole...and Strictly Hush Hush Commentary by Phoebe Esmon Features Editor Bob Dole's five hour visit to Cullowhee cost the university $50,000 plus the chartering of a private jet and all of the ex-senator's expenses. Although Dole donated $ 10,000 of his fee to an educational incentive program WCU takes part of in conjunction with SCC, Jackson, Macon, and Swain Counties, he averaged roughly $8,000 an hour. Not too shabby for a couple speeches and a free meal. When I first heard that Dole was coming to campus, I was surprised. When I found out how much the University paid to get him here, I was appalled. $50,000 dollars is a lot of money, especially on a campus where some departments don't have enough money to provide some basic supplies or up to date technology, thus pushing all of the burden on students (who don't have anything better to do with their time than hold down three jobs anyway, right?) So, where did the money come from? I mean it's hard to believe that the Chancellor has 50 grand sitting around waiting to be spent. The staff of the Western Carolinian did some serious uncovering to find the source of the money. Rumors were circulating that part of the money had been donated by a local politician. Of course it just so happens that the Chancellor does indeed have fifty grand sitting around waiting to be spent as he sees fit. Apparently there was $1.1 million left over from last year's budget. Since that money was not earmarked for any one specific purpose, it has fallen to the chancellor to decide how the money gets spent. Life's hard isn't it? So instead of diverting that money to the Fine and Performing Arts Building, or the New High Tech Center, or creating more tenure track positions, or starting a Chancellor's Scholarship Fund, or providing departments with better quality equipment, we get The Chancellor's Speaker Series, and Bob Dole. Bob Dole can be a very amusing man. He works hard at it. He told all his funniest jokes yesterday...twice. Bob Dole also doesn't enjoy being challenged. At the former senator's town meeting with students, which was held in the UC Grand Room, one worthy student stood up to pose his obviously well researched and long thought-out query. It pertained to taxes. Dole had been touting the need for tax cuts in America. The student called the fact that while in Congress, Dole raised taxes more than he lowered them. The "statesman" interrupted our poor poli-sci major, derided his question, and basically humiliated him. Later, at "An Evening with Bob Dole" in the Ramsey Center, Mr. Dole attempted to make light of what had happened, saying that he had taken exception to a couple questions, but there was no harm done, and anyway, they were old enough to get offended. What exactly is that supposed to mean? Is it that we're all okay as long as we're snickering at his witticisms and waiting breathless for a word on Elizabeth, but the minute we raise a question, we're not worthy of being listened to? I've seen Dole take worse criticism from his wife on national television, don't you think that at $50,000 a pop the man could develop a little bit thicker skin? This reporter, who had previously been attempting with all her might to keep an open mind, lost her temper. Of course I couldn't do anything about it. When I arrived at the Grand Room for the meeting I was informed that al though I was indeed a student, since I was a member of the press I would not be allowed to ask any questions. Smart move on the part of the Chancellor. I walked in with a list. The question is this: is the Chancellor the only person making these decisions? If so, why Dole? He was in WWII. So was my Grandfather. He was in congress. So is Jesse Helms, but I don't want to meet him either. He lost a presidential race twice (both as pres and vp candidate). Now ' there's an auspicious title! What precisely is it that Bob Dole brought to WCU that wasn't here before? Wait, stop, I've got it- The Press! Bob Dole, much like the Computer Policy, will make headlines, and I do believe that the man in charge likes those headlines. I put it to the student body. If you want to have some say in what and who Photo by T.K. Roberts Bob Dole-A gesture kinda says it all. this "extra" money gets spent on, e-mail the Chancellor. By all means get involved. This is our school, and that money is needed for so many further reaching, culturally edifying programs. If you have something to say, please e-mail Chancellor Bardo jbardo@wcu.edu. ;ii WCU Black Theatre Ensemble Presents MUSTANG A story of friendship, loyalty, and selflessness Hoey Auditorium Wednesday December 2 thru Saturday December 5 7:30 p.m. $5 for Students $10 Senior Citizens $12.50 Adults
