  • April 18, 2001 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR WESTERN CAROLINIAN Article by Schwartz Appears Accurate Dear Editor, I am writing in response to the letter written by Chris Hall that was printed in the April 4 edition of the <i>Western Caro- linian</i>. The letter claimed that an article written by Lee Schwartz contained several mistakes about Mr. Hall's SGA goals. I have examined the original article, the letter by Mr. Hall, as well as Mr. Hall's website from which the information was gathered. I happen to be acquainted with Mr. Schwartz, but that is not why I am defending his article. It appears that, if any, there may be only one mistake in it. If anyone wishes to challenge or confirm my argument, Mr. Hall's website is <a href="http: //www. geocities.com/ chrishall4sga"> www.geocities.com/ chrishall4sga</a>. The first issue I will mention concerns the bill passed by the Senate which would allow student teachers and intern students the ability to forgo a meal plan they aren't able to fully use. I think what Mr. Hall is trying to point out is that it is not an action that was totally decided by the SGA, but rather amended by the university administration after the bill was passed by the senate. Furthermore, it has not been put into practice yet. However, Mr. Schwartz's statement, "he has helped to introduce legislation to make it possible for students interning and teaching to attend WCU without purchasing a meal plan" is only slightly different from the statement on Mr. Hall's website. The statement does not overtly say the new concept is policy that is carved in stone. As a reasonable consumer, I have to conclude that Mr. Schwartz's statement highlights the INTENTION of the bill. Mr. Schwartz's statement about contributing to the leadership of J. J. Rowe and Joe Cowen is ALMOST a direct quote from Mr. Hall's website. He only changed "con tinue" to "contribute," and Mr. Hall thinks this means that Rowe and Cowen will still be in office. Perhaps Mr. Schwartz could have used a different phrase such' as "build on" or "perpetuate", but the statement still appears to pass the "reasonable consumer" test and therefore did not severely change the original meaning. I would like to add that the statement about "bickering" in the Senate says more or less what Mr. Hall's original statement said, only in condensed form due to space limitation. The one statement that may have misled people is the one concerning the appropriation of $28,000 of funding. I am not an expert in financing, budgets, or administration, but I would simply like to point out that Mr. Schwartz's statement is nearly identical to the one on Mr. Hall's website. As a communication major, I have learned the importance of accurate news gathering and reporting. Part of the defi nition of libel is "reckless disregard for the truth," and I don't feel Mr. Schwartz has committed such an act. It's my belief that this is largely a case in which a reporter writes to the best of his ability about the facts in a concise manner that he deems acceptable. Mr. Hall, I appreciate your willingness to be clear about the issues. You may have a valid argument on one or two points. However, a reporter has the right to paraphrase any statement he wishes as long as he is reporting the facts and they are properly attributed to his sources. I do not believe Mr. Schwartz's statements exceed these boundaries, especially in the limited space that was used. Sincerely, Paul Fisher P.S. Sorry if this is too long. I tried to keep it to the point. They Don't Put Up Handicapped Signs For Nothing Dear Editor, I have been a student at WCU for the past three years, in this time I have both walked and driven to classes on campus. I can understand the frustration of a commuter not being able to find a parking space that was not roughly the equivalent distance of just walking from Carolina Village. We all know parking is a problem, however, that is not justification for perfectly healthy and well students to park in the handicapped spaces! I have seen more than a few students slide their cars into specifically and obviously maked handicap spaces and then RUN to class. Being late sucks, yes, but that is no reason to deny an individual who is qualified to use that space. Along those lines, twice TODAY, i have seen people park along .the dorms in the handicap spaces and then sprint up two flights of stairs to their room. Now, I may not be the most logical person, but i would venture a guess that they do not need to park, nor should park in those spaces marked solely to allow easier access to those who truely need a shorter walk. I do not know where the stickers come from, but ripping off your grandparents, who may not drive, does not justify owning a handicap sticker. Not only is this evergrowing phenomenon an act of laziness and blantant disregard, but also it is RUDE. I watch the same individual park his car in front of a certain dorm and then jog out up three flights of stairs to his room. He possesses a handicap STICKER, this is not placed on the rearview window while driving, only when parking, so the campus police do not ticket him. It infuritates me, as well as many others that contributed their feelings to this letter, to see those that are in need of these spaces are denied and have to park so much further away, while those people who cannot be bothered to walk a further distance perform not only a selfish act, but also break the law. Lisa Angell Pasley and Harkins 'Need to Just Stop' Reader Questions SGA Election Politics Dear Editor, I am getting very concerned about the political "mud-slinging" which has passed in this latest SGA election. It seems to me that a lot of things were said merely with the intent of destroying someone else. For instance I could not stand the editorial that Chris Hall wrote attacking Staff Writer Lee Schwarz. I read both articles, and it seemed to me that Schwarz reported very accu rately the things that Hall said in his editorial. He just said those things in a different way. It seemed like he just wanted to supercede what Schwarz had written without any grace at all. Has this school come to the point where winning a college election is the most important thing? What about integrity? What about honor? What happened to honest hard-working student- officials? I don't know do you? Chris King Dear Editor, Earlier this week I was reading Western's very own newspaper, The Western Carolinian. I came across a page that had a letter to the editor written by the student who has been here for 7 years. This letter was the second letter that I had read from this person. I remember it very clearly because I remember what Dawn had written in response from the first letter. Both Dawn Pasley and Brian Harkins need to just stop. I know I read those articles in amusement. It's not everyday that I get to read two students, who are supposed to be more mature than me, have it out in a newspaper. Both are taking what' each other says to the other more seriously than they should. Although I was amused, I was also very disappointed by what has been written by these two persons. Never in my life did I think that two people could have such horrible feelings for each other and wish to put it in the newspaper. If this is how older people are acting, who are the younger supposed to look up to? It is foolish to continue this argument between yourselves, in my opinion. This is Western Carolina University. 1 guarantee that no one here cares who is who at the paper. No one cares who is getting married and who is not. We can't change what food service we have. So, why do these articles offend the two of you so much? Is it an ego trip or is it something else? I don't know. But I know one thing; I laughed my head off reading the responses that they wrote to each other. Sincerely, Chris Dollar WCU Freshman P.O. Box 66 • Cullowhee, NC 28723 Seth R.
