In response to the editorial in the Novemeber 14 edition of the Western Carolinian, I would like to agree with Mr. Sams. I, too, am completely outraged that Chancellor Bardo will spend so much money for guest speakers to visit our campus. I mean, we are talking about $65,000 here. […]

I do applaud Bardo for wanting to enhance our education here at Western Carolina, but I believe he has his priorities out of order. He wants to have more full time professors to help offer a “wide variety of classes within classes.” He should try to keep the majors and […]

TO Whom It May Concern: I have to say that I am pretty pissed off regarding our food service here at WCU. Lets face it, the variety of food, and the service we get sucks to say the least. I mean sure we got the UC, Dodson, Brown, Cyber, and […]

Dear Editor, A common charge leveled against my chosen field of study, anthropology, is that it adheres too strictly to the doctrine of cultural relativism.

I woke up this morning to the smell of wood burning, to the soft chirping of the yellow finch that visits my door each day, and to the crisp, cool autumn air. Mornings like these are bittersweet since terrorism found its way across the ocean. As another day breaks, still […]

This past weekend as I looked forward to four days off, I couldn’t help but notice a difference as I drove down 107. I noticed that less people were sporting flags, ribbons, and words of encouragement. What a difference time makes. It is wonderful that those of us who live […]

So, to state the obvious, people hijacked some planes and crashed them into American buildings, killing thousands of unsuspecting, innocent people and causing billions in collateral damage. Set aside discussion about who did it and we are left with a glaring question. Why did they do it? It seems that […]

Dear Editor, I found it hard to read the September 19, 2001 issue of the Western Carolinian. On the cover appears the picture and story concerning the death of Corinne Quick, a student at WCU. The reason why it is hard to read this story is because of the poorly […]
