  • CAMPUS VIEWS Our Take Improvement on the horizon We asked, and you answered! Now, its our turn to let you know our plans. To all of those who participated in our survey about how The Western Carolinian could be im- proved (see B front), we greatly appreciated your honesty and detailed explanations. Some asked for more articles on lifestyle choices. In the future, we will cover topics like alcohol abuse, studying skills, safe sex and gender identity. These types of articles will require more interviews, polls and data gathering from the students, which is a great skill to learn for our staff writers and keeps us updated about what you want from your newspaper. We are college students, too, and it is important to explore how college students live in addition to the hard news and the feature pieces that we already cover. \ In the next issue, we will include a box that reports on police reports, and What Whee Do is geared to keep you informed of smaller events that we cannot cover between newspapers. We believe the more you know, the better your college expe- rience will be. Also, over the summer, we began focusing on various clubs and looking at how to get involved, their bylaws and activities. However, many of the club and registered student organizations (RSOs) fell through because the contacts for the organizations were unavailable while on their sum- mer vacations. We will bring that idea back into play now that the student body has returned to Western Carolina Universitys campus. Finally, we depend on you to keep us informed. Most of our staff began their major-oriented classes this year and only come in contact with students in those courses. Message us on Facebook, shoot us an email or drop by the office during our office hours on Monday and Wednesday, 12:00 p.m. 2:15 p.m. We look forward to hearing from you! All of our contact information and latest articles can be found at west- erncarolinian.com.

Box 66 Cullowhee, North Carolina 28723 Imenz@westerncarolinian.com tauffhammer@westerncarolinian.com www.westerncarolinian.com Cartoon Quotable Im very interested in receiving more of a student perspective of whats happening at WCU, mostly related to administration and aca- - demics,. - Dr. Chris Cooper said about changes in The Western Carolinian. WCU's (unofficial) bucket list Lex Menz Editor in-Chief [Note from the Editor: This article is meant to tease and innocently poke fun at stereotypes and landscapes at West- ern Carolina University. We do not recommend performing any activi- ties that are against the law. In fact, WCU police will be more than happy to put you in the back of their squad car if they catch you doing any of these stunts. Activities that you should and can legally do are marked with an asterisk.] Western Carolina has a poster called The Western Carolina Uni- versity Bucket List. Some of the items on this list include: Go on a trip with Base Camp Cullo- whee, Attend a musi- cal at the Bardo Arts Center, Eat at Bogarts in Sylva and Order the Flaming Cheese appetizer at Kostas in Dillsboro. These are all great activities students should try. In fact, the list would make an awe- some scavenger hunt or weekend-long game for an entire dormitory hall to do. However, on a long car ride, my photographer and I came up with an al- ternative list, a list that we felt included other aspects of Western Caro- lina and the surround- ing area. These activi- ties are not on the First Year Experience (FYI)- sanctioned poster. In journalism, we say that the FYI list is borderline fluff. Most of the sug- gestions are simple and do not expose the grit of Western North Carolina. Well, heres our list (once again, see the warning above!): 1. Attend class ina costume (be sure to check the handbook to see what types of cos- tumes are allowed; some universities do not allow certain face masks) and see if you end up asa WCU Facebook meme or on Tumblr.* 2. Order the BK Bundle at Burger King: 1 Whooper, 1 Whooper Jr., 10-piece chicken nug- gets, 3 small French fries and 3 small sodas. Built for a family of three, how much can you eat?* 3. Walk into Quin Theatre in Sylva Plaza. Order a large bucket of popcorn with extra but- ter. Leave. Experience watching The Walking Dead on your dorm futon like never before! Be sure to pick up a glass soda from Harolds Su- permarket before peau ing the popcorn.* 4. Like the student - from exam week last May, dress up in a mon- key suit, swing from a few campus trees and - barrel through traffic. 5. Climb on top of one of the Greek houses. Stargaze. 6. Travel to Bryson City and experience The Road to Nowhere. Can you walk through it alone? If youre claus- trophobic, probably not the best idea. When you reach the middle of the tunnel, it creates an opti- cal illusion, and the end of the tunnel begins to stretch away from you. This tunnel is said to be haunted, according to multiple accounts. If you have a strong stomach and care to take ona challenge, try visiting from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. Then, write us a Letter to the Editor about your experience.* 7. Go to Fish and More Pet Store. Ask them when their next ship- ment of alligators will arrive and if they can recommend a grocery store with the biggest chicken meat.* 8. Order your favorite meal at Taco Bell then drive to Wal-Mart. Dine in style in the toy sec- LETTERS POLICY We welcome letters from our readers. We urge brevity, both for the sake of effectiveness and the demands of space; letters should be no longer than 500 words. All letters are subject to the same editing for clarity applied to our staff contributions. We will not publish anonymous letters; letters praising or criticizing professors by name; letters mak- tion (My friends and I can cross this one off the |: list. We got a head start freshman year. Don't judge!). 9. Take on one of our fellow UNC system uni- versities, Hast Carolina University. Their news- paper, The Carolinian, ran a front page photo of a streaker (without any black bands to cover | his manhood) from a football game. We can do better! Students of Walker Residence Hall,1 | choose you! 10. Is it Halloween yet? Let the Catamount statue join in the fun. Who can decorate him in the best costume? No spray paint, please.* 11. Create a life-sized game of Pac-Man. Its like Humans vs. Zombies _ but, old school. Dont let the ghosts get you. 12. Ride the elevator in Scott Residence Hall to find the ghost on the 9th floor. When you do, call 4-1-1 and ask for the Ghostbusters.* Okay, we'll leave it at that. If you have any oth- - er ideas, message us on Facebook so we can add to the list online. If want to do a completely legal and spirit-filled bucket list for WCU, which is highly recommended by us and FYI, visit http:// www.wcu.edu/WebFiles/ PDF's/fyebucketlist2013. pdf and get started! ing personal attacks or personally hurtful statements; endorsements of or letters from political candidates; or copies of letters to other publications. Because we want to provide access to a variety of viewpoints, each letter writer will be limited to one letter every four weeks. All letters should be signed, and writers should enclose their addresses and daytime phone numbers. Addresses and phone numbers will not be published but will be used to verify letters. We reserve the right not to print any letter. dk ok FS ee gs Ee ERS ks LS ABM AAS AMANO RRE RRR SRE SRR SRNR AHORA
