  • 8 CAROLINIAN LETTERS TO THE EDITOR April 12,2000 Reader Wants Child Care Dear Editor We've all been to a class or two where a classmate has found it necessary to bring their child with them due to lack of available child care. A child care center on campus would be a solution to this problem. This center would provide care and educational experiences for not only our childrenand the surrounding communities, but for University students faculty an staff. The center would provide research and observational opportunities for Child and Center on Campus Family Studies, Psychology, Birth through Kindergarten and other academic affiliates of the University. Not only would this provide quality child care and educational experiences but would also provide opporunity's for parential growth. In the long run this center will not only benefit families but the University as a whole. By attracting more students Western will have further resources for the funding of other programs. Amanda Huss & Melissa Scott Stop Slandering Food Services Reader Protests Cutting Child and Family Studies Dear Editor, Teenage pregnancy, drug abuse, high divorce rates, and school violence— what do all of these problems have in common? They are all involving the family. As a Child and Family Studies major here at Western, I am learning hands on approaches on how to deal with all of these an many more family based issues. Our major does not deal with policy, theories, or red tape. Instead, our major concentrates on grass roots approaches to make the world a better place one family at a time. Unfortunately, a university committee has placed Child and Family Studies on a list of other majors to be eliminated. I along with about 60 other majors have chosen our life's passion to dedicate ourselves to families. We know that after receiving a degree in Child and Family Studies we can go and be a Director of Smart Start (like Kristi Burch Cook, May 99) or become a Center Director for Head Start (such as Heather Hunter, Dec 99). How many other majors on this campus offer employment directly after graduation? Child and Family Studies is a major that Western can be proud of. Our graduates are working and making a name for this beloved institution. Although I could write an entire dis sertation on the wonderful aspects of the program we have here at WCU, I will cut to the chase. Since I am already in the major, I know I will still be able to graduate in the major, but that is not why I am pleading with the university to look carefully at this decision. I am pleading because families are important. The science of building stronger families is imperative to our society and to our local community. No matter what your major or what you teach, if you are in administration or if you are a grad student.. . you have a family, you live in our society where families struggle every day to survive, you have turned on the news to see children shooting other children, a young mother killing her baby girl, and bomb scares in places where children should feel safest! Now YOUR institution is saying that FAMILIES don't matter. They are threatening to eliminate a program that we as a University can be proud of. Tell someone, TELL ANYONE, that you care about families! Support those who have devoted their life to serving children! Tell someone how eliminating this major is not only going to affect Western Carolina University, but our society as a whole. Sincerely, Carrie Richardson Fiske 'does not pose a threat to anyone' Dear Editor, This is in response to the letter (poorly) written by Robert DeBruce about Christina Fiske's release. Perhaps some other ignorant people feel the same way as he does, so I thought someone should clarify some things. While I do know Christina personally, I was never really close to her so my opinions on this matter are only slightly biased. We've all heard stories about cases like this before and thought, "Only a horrible person could do such a thing." I have come to realize that this is not true. Christina is responsible for her own actions and should be punished for the crime she has committed. HOWEVER, she is not a "dangerous person" and does not pose a threat to anyone. Infanticide has, unfortunately, been committed for thousands of years for a variety of reasons, mostly financial. Sadly enough. some sort of mental breakdown occurred and led her to commit a totally and incredibly uncharacteristic act. The Christina that we, her friends and family, know and love would be the absolute LAST person on this earth that anyone would ever have expected to do something like this. I know that she had to have had a "loss of sanity" or whatever you want to call it in order to do this. I feel terrible for her, I feel horrible for the child that won't get a chance to live, and I am heartbroken for her family. She will no doubt be severely punished for what she has done, and justly. However, there is absolutely no foundation for ignorant comments about her getting "pissed off and killing other people. We could tie this in to the letter about maturity on campus by saying, "Grow Up." Sincerely Monica Bass Dear Editor, In reply to S.A. Hallyburton's letter from March 22 about poor food service and bad food quality is in-fact absurd. There were several false accusations that were written because someone got a bad meal and felt like they should thrash the food service instead of seeing a manager. First off, if you look around the cafeterias you will see several of the university's staff eating the same food the students do. The administrators are not in the dark about what students are receiving to eat at the cafeterias. Second, it is not the food that will keep people in Cullowhee instead of going home. In my four years here, I have never used the school's food as reason to stay on campus over the weekend. Because there are not enough students on campus over the weekends it is not profitable for the food service to keep all of their operations open. If they did, your meal cost would be out of sight. Third, the tortellini that you choose to eat for lunch was not from that following Tuesday. If you do not believe me ask any of the managers at Brown! Besides, when was the last time your mother put leftovers on the table at home? If the food services do not use what was left over, then the meal cost will go up dramatically. Think about it. Fourth, I am shocked at your ability to take a strand of hair and deduce that it came from the pubis areas of a human body. Are you able to tell if it came from a man or a woman? Why are you here at WCU getting an education if you are that smart? The real world is waiting for smart people like you. Finally, I am surprised that you complained about spending $ 15 a day for food. There is no way that you could get 21 meals that are different every meal, nutritious, and still have money left over for only $15. If you can, please inform all of us, inquiring minds want to know. By the way, the money that you spend in the cafeterias does not pay for just your food, but it pays for someone to fix it, someone to serve it, someone to clean up after you leave, and someone to wash your dishes. Instead of writing a letter to the paper you should go and see the food service directors or the managers in the cafeterias if you have a bad meal or do not like it. It is their job to make sure that you are getting quality food and that you are happy with what you got. Try it next time and see what happens before you write a slanderous article. Andy Brubaker Reader Writes an Open Letter to Aramark not have to starve because an employee was playing in their mouth then prepared a meal for me. At the same time, I should Dear Food Service: As a resident student, I have been forced to eat from the dining establishments on campus. In my three years at Western I have seen many things that I don't like, especially while waiting on an employee to serve my food. I have always tried to be a peace maker, but I am to the point where I can't stand to just accept the things I see. In every food court and cafeteria on this campus, workers can be seen ducking behind counters and eating, playing in their hair and mouths, and doing other gross things like changing the trash then preparing food for customers. Personally, I don]t have a problem with people eating or dumping the trash. After all, we do have to survive. My problem begins when the same employees do nothing to clean their hands. Throughout the years, I have actually had "run-ins" with various employees because I asked them to change their gloves or wash their hands. In most instances, I usually go back to my dorm and starve for the afternoon. I am tired of it. I should not have to eat a meal that contains the germs and residue from another person's mouth. If I wanted that, I would "French Kiss" every person that I saw wearing a "Dining Service" shirt. It is time for change. There are a lot of diseases and viruses that can be transmitted through germs in food. Also, who wants to eat a meal that has hair, hair spray, saliva, or any other host of pollutants in it. Not me!!! Food Services are you listening. Do something about it. Stop worrying about changing the bread at DC Subs, start changing the behaviors of your employees. Lastly, if anyone feels that this is the complaint of an ignorant person with too much time on his hands, think again. This is not a plea for better service. This is a demand!!! Be warned, I have been blessed with a loud voice and I have no fear in using it. Sincerely, Julian D. Ranee Pay-for-Print Computer Labs not the Answer Dear Editor, I am writing in response to the article "Academic Affairs Proposes Pay-for-Print." I think that it is absolutely ridiculous that they are.now thinking of charging students for printing items in the computer labs and in the library. With tuition continuing to rise, students pay enough with tuition and other school fees. Also, students pay a technol ogy fee, which would include printing, and freshmen are already required to have their own computers. Many students, including myself, were not even aware that this was a problem in the labs. I realize that some students abuse the privilege and print out numerous copies, but this is not the solution.
